Pete Townsend was the musical genius of the WHO. I'd put him as the number one most talented musician ever. All of the music, lyrics, arrangement, composition, etc., was all done by Pete. Then the boys we're brought in to record the final product. I will admit that John was definitely one of the most awesome to ever slappa da bass. They were all awesome at their respective positions.
@Homanjer3 жыл бұрын
@@jasonlacroix6083 Pete wasn't a very exceptional guitarist though while John was very unique in his approach and his effectiveness. You don't know much about that if you're not really into bass but John had a lot of very good tips for bass players even if he never really talked much about it. The way he plays is really special and it's a very no nonsense approach which is the total opposite of Pete. Pete was always about show while John did what he had to do to get those sounds. Not saying that show is a bad thing but Pete as a musician was good but as a guitarist very mediocre. John as a bassist was exceptional and as a musician also pretty good but definitely didn't have the same visions as Pete

@@Homanjer the Ox was one of the best ever. No doubt about it. He'd be at the top of the list. I can agree that Pete would barely make it on a list of great guitarists. But, there is no WHO without Pete. Pete is a unique example for which there is no comparison. The rest of the band only recorded it and played it live. No other band I know of has ever worked that way. Pete's genius is unmatched.
@Homanjer3 жыл бұрын
@@jasonlacroix6083 I don't think that's fair. John played a huge part in the sound of the Who and that wasn't Pete's making. Keith played his own stuff as well. Sure many of the compositions were Pete's but I'm willing to bet that if these guys weren't together and Pete would've recorded this stuff with random session musicians that they would've never gotten any traction. The band was known for its live performances and as Billy Sheehan has already said you don't become a good musician by writing good songs. You become a good musician by playing live. And you can see how drastically different the live performances were from the records. Different tempos, different keys, additional elements, medleys and so on. The band got traction because of the amazing live shows and with many bands back then they would've also made a living playing covers if they did it in that style.

@@jasonlacroix6083 You’re like Tom Sholtz assuming that Boston would be nothing without him and that he was the most important person ever. But in Boston’s case, we all know how they were nothing without Brad Delp, and so it goes for The Who. No one is saying that Pete’s not important, but I don’t think any sensible person would say that John, Keith, and Roger were basically back up musicians as you seem to be saying. Sorry bud, I don’t mean to offend you, but you’re just wrong on this one. The whole point of a band is that you make it happen as a team, together. Without the others, The Who as we know it wouldn’t exist today. Maybe it would still be good, but it wouldn’t be the same.
