Pete Townshend:
I'd say Rog is right.
But Moonie was one-of-a-kind.

LOL name one thing that isnt an appropriation of some kind.
Ahh the Isle of Wight show, greatest live performance ever.
Doesn’t bother me one wit that either Jimi or Rodger stole Buddy Guy’s moves. Both of them, Jimi and Rodger, were instrumental to our music today.
I am very partial to Jimi Hendrix. My range of music goes from classical to blues, and Jimi is in there somewhere.’
It is a Question of venue.
If the Trial against the estate is in Seattle, or Renton as it may be......
Saw Buddy many times.
In their prime, nobody was better than The Who live. They put the Stones and Zeppelin to shame in terms of live performances.
No other guitarist changed the direction of the guitar like Hendrix.
He created a whole new sound emanating from an amplifier that is still an influence on guitar players today.
When Hendrix played you heard colors for the first time...
Buddy wasn’t on acid...
The Left loves to accuse Elvis of stealing the song You ain’t nothing but a ‘Hound Dog’ sung by Big Momma Thornton, Elvis didn’t steal anything. ‘Hound Dog’ was created, written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two white guys. So if we want to call it “stealing”, any black person recording that song “stole” white music.
They have the gall to accuse Elvis and other whites in the music industry of stealing black music. What songs did Elvis “steal”, that Nat King Cole, Lena Horne, Dionne Warwick, Sammy Davis Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, John Coltrane, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Little Eva, Freddie Scott, Brook Benton, David Ruffin, Luther Vandross, and many other black singers and musicians, who built their careers singing and playing songs written by white men and women, didn’t “steal”?

I saw Buddy Guy warm up for B.B. King a couple times in King’s declining years. Which means you were really there for the warm up, and to pay homage to B.B., as B.B. wasn’t up to his early years.
There was NOTHING wrong with getting to see Buddy as the “main act” for those shows. He still “had it”.
Who were stupid.
Cut your hair old hippie freak.

Theatrics is one thing. Musical genius is another. Hendrix may have borrowed some stage moves but his musical ideas (which are really his legacy) came from within. To that extent I claim Daltrey misses the point. It’s definitely not all about the showmanship.
Funny, I would rather listen to Jimi sing than Roger. I’ve listened to a lot of rock music since I was a teenager, and Roger Daltrey is one of those singers I can only take in limited doses. The Who musically? Outstanding. Kind of the same way for me with Led Zeppelin. Love the music. After a couple of songs with Robert Plant, I’m done.
At the time I was going out with a lead guitar player who took me to all the concerts. I remember when Townsend started his stuff and my bf talked all about how great it was. Shortly after I noticed the other bands starting to imitate the act including breaking the guitar.
Pete stole “the windmill” from a guitarist warming up his arm.
Jimi probably lifted the destruction act from Townsend but that’s about it. Townsend never played the guitar with his teeth or even played an incredible guitar solo for that matter.
Townsend is a writer and rhythm guitarist. Jimi created his own style and was another force of nature all together.
Mick Taylor has said that's why he left the band.
I think you’re on drugs.
The guitar antics were lifted from what saxaphone players used to do in the 50s.
Townsend had nothing to do w/ it.
Fail!
