Good article, it addresses the themes very well, but there were some factualy errors. According to the liner notes for the CD version of "The Who Sell Out," the girl in "Glow Girl" dies in the crash and is reincarnated as Tommy. Also Tommy is not born deaf, dumb, and blind, but becomes so when he watches his mother and father kill his mother's lover. Other than that, it was a well-written and informatie article.

Hendrix was actually playing "Wild Thing" by the Troggs when he destroyed his guitar at Monterey.

I thought that Hendrix destroyed Pete's guitar (or at least that's what it said in Guitar World [May 2005]).

pigglesworth :
This is good and written OK, but it kind of reads as if the author's first language isn't English or it was a school report or something. It has a translated feel, the words are big and it is informative but it's rather disjointed and doesn't flow. Just below the usual UG article I geuss. Also I don't see why Green Day has to be mentioned so much; the are completely different from The Who; The Who were devoted to refining, advancing and perfecting their music whereas Green Day are a punk band intent on keeping their music as simple and "untalented" as possible. I like Green Day but apart from Billy Joe having a similar rig top Pete's I see no connection or relevance. An otherwise informative and interesting article though! The Who rule!

That's because it's written like a research paper, which it essentialy is. You encounter them too frequently in college. I'd give this research paper an "A".

Kadaj :
Green Day has Jesus of Suburbia, the main character of the opera, while the Who has Ivor The Engine Driver.


Oh I can see the similarities so clearly.

That's two articles both kissing Green Day ass, seriously mention it, but don't give it practically two paragraphs.

Yes, I do agree that The Who is an awesome band and are a great influence on other bands, but why strike Green Day down? When they wrote American Idiot they credited The Who with it. They mentioned Green Day in the article because they are most famous. They are almost like the Who. And BTW-Green Day does have talent. THey have lots of it. For all you little The Who obsessers-there are other bands that have way more talent, such as THE RAMONES, THE CLASH, AC/DC, OR EVEN GREEN DAY FOR THAT MATTER. It's okay that the article is kissing Green Day's ass, because Green Day deserve it. So does all the other bands who make and produce their own music. Anyone who can do that has talent. So let him do what he wants. If the guy want to talk about Green Day, so be it. If he doesn't, oh well! And also, you spell the lead singer from Green Day's name Billie not Billy.

Give some legitimate reasons why. Seeing as how you wouldn't be able to do so, shut up.

thanks to everyone who agrees. he had reasons why he mentioned Green Day and to all the Green Day haters-shut the **** up-its not a big ****ing deal that he mentioned them

no its not a big deal that he mentioned them. Besides if your a fan of the who then you should concerntrate on the rest of the article not on the part about Green Day.

Nothing wrong with comparing different bands, but until you've listened to "Tommy", you can't compare too many bands to the muscianship of The Who.
POSTED: 06/10/2006 - 01:13 am / quote |
dearly beloved :
Okay so you think you can't compare many i respect that. But you can compare a few one of them being Green Day and i bet most of you ****ing rs have never seen Green Days best work just a few odd songs that you never listened to properly and never took into consideration how much their songs mean to them emotionally. Oh and of course i'll email you letterbomb. Bye for now rs!!

letterbomb~ :
thats cool! i respect your opinion dearly... you put up a good point! the who is an amazing band but there are so many other bands. and your right again-when you take the emotional baggage inyo yourself and realize what the songs mean to greenday for example. when you put so much emotion at stake, all you can do is respect them and what they've done, right?

Yeah exactly my point.

We are not 'spamming it up' we were merely standing up for Green Day and many Green Day fans. They are an awsome band that deserve to be talked about.
