@Luis Miguel garcia abril Very well observed

They are not even close to being #1. The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Grateful Dead, Black Oak Arkansas, The Rolling Stones, and The Byrds were all much better. Even The Monkees were better and sold more records (though they did have at least six outside people writing songs for them in addition to the 12 they wrote themselves).

​@@JimDeferioa friend of mine, there's good beer but always better, all these 60s band's were and still are untouchable

THE BEST & THE FK CRITICS SLAMMED IT !!!WANKERS 😡😡😡😡😡😡g

@@geoffreycarson2311 I haven't read reviews yet, but I recently discovered this song because they started playing it at my job. And honestly? I can't stand the fucking guitar line, or whatever it is. It gets so annoying after the second half.

@@jpz2009 You must have a screw loose my tightly packed sardine of a friend!

Robert Nix, I agree with you ❤

Easily

At long last got those lyrics cleared up myself

Pete Townshend flat-Earther confirmed

Agreed. But if you live in Paris, it's only half as impressive.

​@@NotQuiteFirst not the only thing confirmed about old Peter... if you believe the "I was doing research" when caught with all that dodgy kid filth, you're more forgiving than me. What a nonce.

​@@NotQuiteFirstHahaha. 😂

Five decades headed for six

Spot on!

Amen to your statement!!

Really? Because this song sounds like absolute shit

Absolutely, Beatles , Zeppelin, The Who, Stones. Britain was just filthy with kick ass bands.

Helter Skelter is shite tho

Beck's bolero...

I think it's pretty cool - I like the Beach Boys plagiarism!

It's not plagiarism, it's "This is dirty? *I'll show you dirty!* "

legend has it that is bullshit. The Beatles may have been many things but the instigators of Heavy metal they weren't! Plus...it was called Rock music for many years before the phrase heavy metal started to be used.. They refer to bands like Led Zeppelin as heavy metal nowadays but we all thought of them as a rock band and rock music. That's what they were, and are. not this stupid phrase heavy metal.

1967

@@clarkthesharkshow9944 Yes, you’re right. But I think it peaked after the new year. I saw them in March 68 when The Who Sell Out with I Can See For Miles (which they did not perform) had recently come out. Anyway, you’re right. Call Me Lightning was the next single, I believe? I’m too lazy at the moment to do the research! By the way, they were great!

Because he was the best drummer in rock history mate! And he even owned his own milk float ya know? 😂😂😂

@@cheesetomato9140 In my opinion he was. Without a doubt!

I was fortunate enough in 1976 to have seen the original band, just extraordinary. I can only imagine what you experienced seeing this young group. I next saw them after Keith passed away with Kenny Jones and Rabbit onstage, it was over for me, Pete was drunk, Roger and John were so angry they didn’t even acknowledge Pete , I had front row seats for that show. I went again with Kenny on drums and just not the same. People say that Zac has added what had been missing ?

two amazing songs!

You might be right about that

And come togheter

"For what it's worth."

so much energy remember so well when this song came out!

I hope it's earl grey

more like: Paul McCartney: hold my tea while I invent a new genre

@Igor Kucharczyk it was just a joke 😅 But thanks for the information

Hold my weed

Bad Bunny: Hold my bottle

The songwriting is just...Top Tier...

it is

This was my favorite Who song . Not that anyone cares . No. 2 My Generation .

Hahaha 😂

And ingrained with menace.love it blasting

Helter skelter is overrated....there I said it. I like this better

*Hold my bass

Chetter Cheese why can't I stop laughing at your reply?😂

Actually, The Beatles wrote Helter Skelter because they heard The Who were going to come out with a new "gritty, dirty, muddy" song and they didn't want it to overshadow their recent stuff.

The Beatles?? Who's that?

Wich sucks

Grecco's shitposts Actually, Paul have read about this song in a magazine that it's really loud and noisy, and wanted to do the same. Then when he heard the song, he realized it's not loud at all. And he decided he should write a really loud and histerical song himself.

They are that covers band that was obsessed with The Rutles.

Keep it to ourselves in the old london

Right! The only top ten hit they had in the US. It reached to 9th place.

shows that americans were more into pop and flashy stuff than actual gooD rocK.

Man, Eminence Front.

The whole world isn't just America

The version on The kids are all right soundtrack first got my attention. At the hometown theater a near riot broke out on first night.

SAW THEM in the 70s LIVE FK AWSOME !!!!👍👍✋✌✌👌👊👏g

The Beatles had more rock songs than the Who and so did The Rolling Stones. The Beatles also had at least four songs that are considered heavy metal (Helter Skelter, Yer Blues, Birthday, and the fast version of Revolution that was released as a single in the summer of 1968 - some also put "I Want You/She's So Heavy" in the categories of either heavy metal or doom metal)

Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

Wasn't Pictures of Lily another hit from around this time aswell? That's another one the Who's 60s classics, before the 70s when they seemed to reinvent themselves with 'Who are you' heralding in their rock era and the 3 brilliant movies beginning with Tommy( love that movie as the songs show just what an incredible talent Pete Townshend has been) before Quadrophenia then McVicar, I mean theirs other songwriters who may've passed their 11 plus and even managed an A level or two but Pete Townshend holds A BA in songwriting infact if other artists fly in double winged aeroplanes, old Pete has a stealth fighter parked on his driveway, this bloke is a rock God , the only artist to even come close to being anything like him is Paul Weller, but it must be said that Roger Daltrey along with old Keith Moon and Mr Entwistle ( both of them on their own have God spellbound 'hench why nothing gets done really that's decent on earth) as a result there's the likes of Eminem & Stormzy that's ruined music with that rapp shite with songs about drive by shootings and postcode gangs etc and text talk because proper English grammar is like the apollo 11 project to them yeah bro ya dissing me man, ya get me? They leave school not able to write their own names, and migrants come here with people told 'they bring new skills and culturally enrich us" are what the young are taught to believe, I suppose Shamima Begum can impersonate an eggshell and potato peeling binbag left besides a wheelie bin? But the only thing that they bring into the UK is new Syphilis & flu strains 'hench the escooters that zoom through congested traffic to get them down to GU medicine appointments etc 'which at least enables typhus or Ebola to be detected before they get out into the black economy to pass on what they're carrying to people traffickers & prostitutes and other rogues like Will I am or Dizzy Rascal. Some even buy it "they rebuilt post war Britain" hmm? So after building huts outta mud that dry in the hot sun they acquired skills to build Canary wharf etc? Maybe they can claim credit for the fire escape routh in Grenville tower or even the fuse boxes located behind the bath taps! It's the racism they bring here that should be of paramount concern to everybody, along with black mould on ceilings.

I can dig it brother rock and roll

Damn fu c king awesome drums and Townsend RIFFS groovy guitar. Dig the shit out of this masterpiece

Saw them with my sister and her friends back then I was 9 yo lol

Imagine being this deluded to think that Helter Skertel is better than this. First of all the beatles needed a better drummer than Keith, which, was impossible.

@Mavors No, he did not, troll.

I like this song better

@@ForceOfLight imagine thinking YOUR opinion is objective fact 🤦

@@ForceOfLight I mean, I like this song better too, but it's all opinion, right? 🙂🙂

He was a bundle of nervous energy with a very dark side. Poor Mooney was always going to burn bright and fast. Still miss him though! ❤️

I was pretty amazed at how simple the chorus is, but remarkably awesome. This does achieve perfection.

Lol. Wow

well, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are pretty inventive, I think

@@veronicaalleyne..lol..u joking..they NOTHING next to this

My question are you saved and if you are are you still running the race. Or has your light grown dim and your salt lost its taste. Everybody wants to die for Christ but are they willing to live for him? Everybody is talking about the second coming of Christ or the rapture not that I don't. Jesus won the war all we have to do is fight the battle. Yes, things are dark and people are lost in their sin but now is not the time to give up and wait around for the rapture to come and do nothing. The idea of people not liking you or even being hated by others by others doesn't sit well with most Christians. It is easier to blend in with the crowd or the world and live a lukewarm life. When we think of the disciples we think of their faithfulness to Jesus and preaching the word with the threat of being tortured or killed at any time. They denied their flesh and self all in the name of Jesus and the word of God all ultimately dying horrific deaths. When we preach the gospel we need to remember if people are hostile to you or the message it is not you that they hate but Jesus. The only reason they hate you is because you're the messenger of the good news. I just don't take it personally, what can they do to me, yell at me, curse me, or take a punch at me that is nothing compared to the rewards one will receive and the glory God gets.

They are not even lose to being the best. The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jethro Tull, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Grateful Dead, Black Oak Arkansas, The Rolling Stones, and The Byrds were all much better. Even The Monkees were better and sold more records (though they did have at least six outside people writing songs for them in addition to the 12 songs they wrote themselves). The Who's best album IMHO is "Who's Next" but Moon drums almost exactly the same way on EVERY song. Drives me crazy!

me too

Just like the assassination of JFK. I can remember where I was in 1967 when I, first, heard it.

When it came out it was just so different than anything that had come out before ...Had very much the same kind of Electrifying / Entrancing power of a song like "She Loves You" or Help!

i was 17 playing high school football basketball and baseball LOVE this fucking song!

Just goes to show the number of awesome songs coming out around then !!! ...Mini - Age of Aquarius !

Their biggest hit Stateside, that is. My Generation got to No2 in the UK in '65, and several other singles made the top five there too.

Their songs are haunting

Right at the Top/ Bottom of my Stack of 45's

Along came Mary ...Also in that stack ...many Beatles songs ...I feel fine , ticket to ride ; etc...what Daze those were !!!

Hate the Beatles rip me😅

Nothing to do with Helter Skelter that turned out to be very hot and was received at the same time!

You should try Greta Van Fleet. Their parents raised them listening to the Who, Stones and Zeppelin.

Helter Skelter is a good song though,not better than this but still good.

@sternenkind Tell that to the OP and all the other people who have replied here then

This is fantastic.

I also saw them back in 1971 at SPAC in upstate Saratoga Springs, the largest crowd ever at SPAC 33,000+ what a show, my girlfriend and would lie in bed listening to "Who's Next"
