Arntzen Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I... I mean... weeeh? When are scientists gonna figure out how to reanimate dead flesh so the Who can really start touring? Cuz I mean really... Pete has been kinder stiff... Oh, plus Zombie Ox would probably be rockin'. It would give new meaning to Rigor Mortis Sets In. Or some other awesome reference to his solo work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I hope they make a stop in Edmonton, that'll be grand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep Gurl Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I caught the VH1 Rock Honors show last night on tv honoring The Who and they were pretty good. Roger's voice isn't what it used to be but Pete and him both rocked out pretty good for being over 60! The show was pretty good with the Foo Fighters, Flaming Lips, Incubus and Pearl Jam singing The Who songs. I thought Pearl Jam did the best of the bands covering The Who songs although the last song the Foo's played with Gaz Coombes of "Supergrass" was great!

MHD Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I saw on Yahoo news earlier that apparently Roger and Pete have fallen out! They've argued over what should/should not be played on the forthcoming US tour. Read the report Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the report Here On the VH1 Rock Honors show last night on tv, Roger and Pete both said something about not getting along with each other and stuff like that. Roger said what was important was the music.

MadScreamingGallery Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 That's par for the course with those two. At this point, they remind me of an old married couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I was out of the country when tix went on sale for the DC show. It's just as well. $80.00 per ticket to sit in the nose bleed. There are premium packages for $505.00 per ticket, which includes a t-shirt, a seat within the first 10 rows and $50.00 to spend at the on-line store.

Detigers09 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Not sure if this is a reliable source, but someone told me that Roger Daltrey keeps begging Pete to tour year after year because he needs the money to pay the bills on his castle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
