To Album or Not to Album.....Questions...

>If they don't do something new right now, it won't matter anyway.
Disagree. They would go out having kicked ass over the last 6 years,
particularly in the face of adversity. We need to appreciate the *fact*
that The Who's reputation will already take a hit by simply continuing
without John.
How big a hit? Time will tell. We'll have to wait and see if the asshole
critics get play.
>The last 6
>years will have no consumation.
CFNY was the consummation. That could have easily been the last hurrah and
sent our boys into history as the rightful kings they are.
>Then people will be right when they say that
>they are just living in the past.
Well, they are at the moment. And, that's not such a bad thing BTW.
>There has been a proper build up to get
>back a fan base to do something further. Then John died. But...
But...
John died.
That changes lots of things whether we like it or not.
It's changed things.
>Pete and Roger have proved that they are more than half of the band.
Ouch. I can't say that.
I *can* say that they have proven they are powerful performers, performing
music that has a life of it's own.
>Their
>backs were against the wall and they came through BIG.
They were great shows, and god bless 'em. But, they could easily be the
"walking off into the sunset" shows.
>To be honest, I like
>the 2002 tour better than the 2000 tour.
That's cool, but I can't agree (I don't think).
>It is more intense
That's Pete and Roger being forced to rise to the occasion.
But take a look at how Pete struggled at various shows.
This tells me he was gritting his teeth to get through this nightmare of a
tour. It's got to be like a bad dream that won't end and keeps forcing him
to suck it up against his will and perform at a level that normally isn't
needed.
I can't see him doing that after this tour.
>and Zak is far
>superior.
Zak is Da Monsta, but he was that way last tour too. Practice may be making
perfect?
>Roger is better
Agreed. Don't know what he did, but his voice was indeed sharper this go
round.
>Pete is better, Pete wants to be there
See above comments.
I don't know why, but I can't help but feel that Pete really doesn't know
*what* he wants at the moment, despite what he's written in his diary.
>and Pino
>sounds fabulous when you can hear him.
Can't argue with that, but..........he's not John, and doesn't bring John's
sound or expertise on the bass.
I hear you on all of this Jon.
I've stated in the past that to break this current band up would be a shame.
But, to continue as The Who seems strange.
Yeah, I know, to change the name would diminish things....
Are we looking at a lose-lose situation????

Check out the archives at www.igtc.com
Has the very first post from back in 1994.

I've met John! But hey, he was the easiest to meet.
You can read about it in the "who meets who" section of Emmy's web site at

>Is anyone here from out of the country? What countries?
Out of what country? ;-)
I've seen Brazil, Russia, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and others
represented.
Obviously have UK representation as well.
>Just curious.............
Poor cats. ;-)
