What made The Who great was that all four were completely different.

Pete was “The Seeker” trying to find meaning, I must confess I don’t get the whole “Meher Baba” thing at all, but it sure inspired him to write some incredible stuff.

Roger is a street punk who’d kick your ass, he knocked Pete out cold during the recording of Quadrophenia.

Moonie of course was just the classic English eccentric, but the sad story is when he accidentally ran over and killed his assistant, it set him on the trajectory that ultimately killed him.

And John was “The Quiet One”, but the best bassist ever.

Isolated bass - My Generation, Live at Leeds. John's tone is insane.

OX CAM: Isolated video and audio - Won't Get Fooled Again at Shepperton. Brilliant, bloody brilliant.

It’s weird. Drummers do tend to be the quiet ones don’t they?
