Someone needs to put grandpa in a home.



If (if) the drums are too high in the mix, that's on the sound guy, not the drummer.


"Character Assassination" means he looks like a jerk, but not because of what his former drummer said.


Ay Freepers go see these people yell at clouds?

Imagine if Keith Moon was still playing the drums. I know Pete got really tired of playing with Moon in the final years of Keith’s life.

At least Zak doesn’t try to park in the swimming pool.

If they come anywhere near Sacramento, I’ll go see them.

That's assuming the drummer is wearing earbuds. If he's not, and is pounding away, the physical drum sound could be too loud.

Daltry is the front man, the Star, if you will.
If he or Townsend are not comfortable with the drummer, then the drummer needs to be replaced. Simple as that. It matters not “WHO” the drummer’s father is. So what? Remaining in a world class legacy band like that is not a matter of treating hurt feelings of any supporting band member.

Ringo is not The Pope, or anyone who should be seen as omniscient or all knowing. If you really want to know, he never actually contributed musically to The Beatles either. Ringo was well liked by the other three, so he stayed. On this issue, he’s acting like your typical Soccer Dad, who becomes “outraged” when his son is removed from a pivotal position because the results are judged as less than satisfactory by someone with the power to decide. Strictly business. Nothing personal. Bye, Bye, Nepo.

Agreed. Daltrey is losing his shit and Townsend is past his expiration date for live playing.

They should do what the Beatles did in the 1960s snd just become a studio band for their remaining years.

I saw them in the Kingdome in 80 or 81. Acoustics sucked and I was stoned out of my brain. There were just mountains of pot on the floor.

Got lost looking for my car parked somewhere on the streets of downtown Seattle because half the Kingdome parking lot was full of people who camped out all day waiting for the gates to open.

I still don't know how I found my car or my way home to Tacoma some 30 miles away.

Good times. I think.

This time I'll take an Uber.

Roger Snowflake.

And, I’m sorry ... but a 29 year band mate drummer is nothing more than a session musician??

This guy needs to sit down.

Roger needs to stop being such an old lady. Wrap up the farewell tour and be done with it. Grace Slick was right.

It wasn’t Zack’s fault. It was the monitor soundman. There’s a separate soundman that just handles the monitors, whether they are speakers or an earpiece.

The mix must have been way off and to blame Starkey for it is the height or arrogance and ignorance.

I see freepers treat rock bands like they do pretty women
With usual fury and scorn and not good enough
Quit whining

Anyone over 50 knows we were lucky to have such music coming up

I sure as S am
