superbowl half time

[JensenPark]

To our UK Dogz...if nothing else, I must thank you country for producing The Who.

Who cares about the game...this was an amazing show...

[GreyKnight]

I wish the NFL would just go with one of those College games mass marching bands, but The Who did indeed do a good set at halftime.

[Tonar]

I kept thinking they were going to fall down . It was hard for me to watch so I changed the channel for 20 min.

[Jediteo]

The Who just rocks!

One of the cornerstones of rock.

You know it Jedi. Here's an older gig with Keith Moon(R.I.P) and Townsend in familiar shape.

[JensenPark]

Parker's (son #2) middle name is Townshend (after Pete)

...yeah, I'ma fanboy

[Jediteo]

S! JP, now that is impressive.

I attempt to educate my fellow students into the merits of classic rock, but to no avail.

The fretword of Townshend is just amazing.

7.52 is liquified awesome.

Hendrix smashed guitars, The Who bashed the entire set. Love 'em.

I 'd rather listen to opera and I hate opera.

[Jediteo]

Really? Some of the Puccini and Verdi ones are excellent.

[Jabo]

I'm afraid The Who never really did it for me, they were a little before my time in any case. My tastes have always been on the heavier side of Townshend and co, although I've enjoyed seeing bands cover their stuff (Van Halen did an awesome cover of Won't Get Fooled Again at the NEC a few years back).

I don't do opera either Jim - it's just not my cup of tea.

"Some of the Puccini and Verdi ones are excellent."

I always thought Puccini was a vegetable and verdi a pasta.

[Jabo]

Perhaps Jedi meant 'tasty' instead of 'excellent' - it's probably just a typo.

[Jediteo]

I have quite an eclectic musical taste, anything from classical to blues, jazz and classic rock.

[BadAim]

Thou Shalt not bash the Who. It's in the scriptures, heathens.

[Jabo]

Who's bashing? (excuse the pun)

[Crash]

The Who were one of the first bands I saw when the performed Tommy at the Liverpool Empire. Easily the loudest indoor thing I have heard. Fuel dragsters and Vulcans being the outdoor

[BadAim]

Who's bashing? (excuse the pun)  I just said they weren't my cup of tea. You should see the rubbish on my ipod.

And no, 'rubbish' wasn't the first word I was going to use.

Just kidding! My tastes run a bit harder too. (that didn't come out right) But my musical tastes tend to run with my mood. (Mercurial to say the least).

[Jabo]

Lol, I know you were m8. I've currently got "Master Of Puppets" playing in the background. but it could easily be Fleetwood Mac or Slayer next...so...

The Vulcan's probably one of the loudest aircraft on the airshow circuit, but the two loudest aircraft I've ever heard was the SR71 lifting off with afterburners lit at RAF Fairford followed closely by the Saab Viggen. Real groundshakers.

Jabo

PS, apologies for the thread-jack.

[BadAim]

I've never had the pleasure of hearing either the Vulcan or the SR71, but my guess is its hard to beat a Harrier hovering in close proximity. (I don't think this is to far off topic, a discussion of the Who naturally lends itself to a consideration of the loudest things on the planet.)

[Crash]

When I said Vulcans I meant a scramble of 4 of them

[BadAim]

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?
