[NKL77]

All Death metal band should bow to The Great Entwistles

[dinosaurdinosaur69A]

my brother names is boris XD

[ThreeDaysSasuke]

@dinosaurdinosaur69A Is he a spider?

[Nimf]

Used to sing this to my (now 10 yr old) son, and tickle him in the chorus. Would get the loudest giggles out of him, it was brilliant.

[DeJay323]

@Nimf I'm glad it was your son... cuz that could've gone very bad if you hadn't said "son"

[bensimps123]

wonder what pete smiling about at 2:10 lol

[MrDukemeister]

@bensimps123 probably at his heroin high.

[bensimps123]

When ever i see a spider i start singing this !

[SuperMike82]

The drummer looks like John Kreese from The Karate Kid movies

[kraken589]

entwistle finally stopped dying his hair i see

[bensimps123]

@kraken589 i think he looked better without it dyed 

[newyorkdoll72]

beautiful!

John♥

[FcBarcaman1193]

Peoples im really sorry about this comment........ but John (the Ox) is the only cool looking guy on stage, pete looks ridiculous, and roger meeehh he's ok

[mrmattstrat]

@FcBarcaman1193 your right!

[bensimps123]

@FcBarcaman1193 ? pete and roger looked banging hot and rocking

[jill9ify]

@FcBarcaman1193 what about keith....look at all his cymbals!!!!

[MrMaronias]

17 guys thought that "dislike" means "dis I like"

[nickthecomedian]

Maple Leaf Gardens is such an important building in Toronto. It wasn't only concerts this placed held it was also home to hockey. Air Canada Centre is shit compared to MLG

[shaneh1983]

great song

[PokerOnTour]

watched this live on PPV back in the day....

[DaveS12382]

They should have hung it up after Moonie died just like Zeppelin after Bonzo

[dcamack]

@DaveS12382 Yeah, so much for hanging in there and letting the show go on. Guess they should have all died huh. Nice attitude!

[DaveS12382]

@dcamack nobody said that except you niglet but well put, just like zep they shoulda hung it up after moonie died, argue all you want.....blah blah blah and noones as good as Moonie so suck on it bitchkike.

[sourogman909]

Snake in the grass Boris kicks my ASS... :)

[LolBerryProductions]

i <3 pete's nike's

[minifilmsltd]

at 1:36 pete just looks like "what the hell is john singing about?"

[Schmunken1]

@minifilmsltd Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha!!!

[Alissomwho]

Mesmo meio Idoso os cara mandavam bem pra caramba!!! Santo deus ninguem faz musica igual eles eles simplesmente são genios!!!

[Dasclsad]

17 will be punished by Boris and his little spider friends.

[minifilmsltd]

@Dasclsad I hate to dissapoint you, because I totally agree with you, but boris unfortunately is dead

[Apolyon92]

it sound so metal somehow..

[usagoodbyeisayhello]

I was at the gig at The Meadowlands, in New Jersey, a couple weeks before this concert. Best gig I've ever been to! They don't make them like that anymore!

[MsFanmail]

i love the who they are amazing their music is better than todays rubbish

[bluechina50]

they were one of the best bands and there were and are still alot of great bands you just have to listin to dfferent people and decide for your self .

[joeyhage]

is this the first deth grunt sound in music history i unno if it aint i think pink floyd has the first grunt

[christopherm2k]

Absolutely brilliant musicians ... alas a stomping end for poor Boris ... muo hahaha

[joeyhage]

this is the earliest of death sound ive heard

[borisgarcia305]

awesome a song about me

[Shin00bism]

The birth of harsh vocals in metal right here.

[joeyhage]

@Shin00bism i think ure right but if this is not the fist grunts then floyd or the beatles have it

[ZigZagOyeah]

Cookie Monster!

[beatlesbiggestfan100]

john will grab this book right off the floor and smash 15 people

[BoristheOxman]

@JakeMiskyProductions Nah man, you can't get rid of Daltrey! He's one of the most dynamic figures in rock! He has an amazing voice!

[minifilmsltd]

and thus the death metal growl was born

[GrungeMetalRocker]

@minifilmsltd

AGREED !

[MrSKINFLICK]

@minifilmsltd: Too stoned ? This ain´t death metal !

[minifilmsltd]

@MrSKINFLICK not the song, just the growl

[MrSKINFLICK]

@minifilmsltd: LOL - okie dokie !

[minifilmsltd]

@MrSKINFLICK not the song just the growl

[DeathcoreJudas]

@MrSKINFLICK No, legit. The first death metal bands to use growling said that The Who had given the idea for it. The Who are fucking awesome.

[iamobeliskquake]

@DeathcoreJudas so not only do they create The Rock Opra Genre, they also helped make Death Metal.

[LoftyArts]

They were known as the loudest bad then too! \m/__;>]__\m/

[brutalmetalmosher]

BRUTAL.

[atgskater14]

@TheNationalarmy

John by far

[Headbanger142]

@atgskater14 John can get his voice pretty high as well if you hear A Quick One. He had a damn good voice. Shame he didn't use it much.

[atgskater14]

@Headbanger142

Oh yeah he did.

[CoolDogRAE]

@Headbanger142 what would Roger do?

[christopherm2k]

Somewhat surprisingly, this was never released as a single. It would have been fun to get this on a 45. John Entwistle wrote the song. I suppose it is tantamount to the Beatles's "Her Majesty." One of those "never intended for prime time" fabulous entres.

[vik3nti0s]

Roger has the worst clothin that he ever had! he looks like a hip-hop dancer! :/ :(

[leatherfacefan1974]

i have this in tape!!! but its at my lake house in wisconsin

[TheDonVincitore]

"It's come back from the dead!"

[Holowka5]

RIP Entwistle , you awesome SOB

[Holowka5]

RIP Entwistle you awesome SOB

[Holowka5]

The 15 people will get fuckng stomped on by Pete Townsend

[wetlandraider99]

Pete Townshend needs to jump on the 15 idiots who hit the dislike button the same way he jumped on the plastic spider.

[catlillith]

@wetlandraider99 make that 20 idiots

[mexx2219]

Death Metal vocals guy looks like Nicholas Cage!

[haitipi]

@mexx2219

"Death Metal Vocals Guy". I hope that you are only kidding

[atgskater14]

@mexx2219

If you are joking i don't get it. but if you are not the fellow who looks like nicholas cage in this song is pete townshend.

[bob8144]

Happy Birthday, John. You are missed. You were the greatest bassist of all time.

[CrazyBeatlesFanatic]

"Dunno about Pete's clothes, though."

It's the 80's, you have to wear a black jacket. Just look at Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, etc..

[atgskater14]

@CrazyBeatlesFanatic

Pete is not wearing the Leather Jacket that is John.

[12pokechamp]

loving pete's trainers <3

[navadeh123]

killing with some cortezs'

[UnforgetableBirthday]

1:35 what the fuck happened

[knivesy]

There are 15 retards out there.

[scartissue94]

John's bass! He played it at Keith's last concert!

[nevbot222]

i saw his bass in the hard rock cafe in berlin

[PastaCheifFilms]

Ozzy Osbourne ate the head off a bat, WELL SCREW THAT!

Pete Townsend jumped on a mother-fuckin' plastic spider!

[DookNun]

@PastaCheifFilms He also downloaded a load of child porn, but who's keeping score eh? ;)

[PastaCheifFilms]

@DookNun Pete Townshend got molested as a kid, he writes papers on child sexuality and molestation for psychological colleges and universities. The media and police made it look like he had downloaded child porn. When he had just been researching it.

[DookNun]

@PastaCheifFilms He had pictures of children engaged in sexual activity on his computer... Define that for me again?

[scartissue94]

@DookNun

He saw one, and then immediately left the website. The police even took his computers to search them, and they didn't even find anything. Pete doesn't like child porn, you idiot.

[PastaCheifFilms]

John Entwhistle, Jaco Pastorius, and Jack Bruce. the best 3 bassists ever.

[beatlegirl456]

In 1:37 if you look Pete puts this face like saying, "What a weirdo, I don't wanna sing this" it's very funny :D

[biospark37]

long live john

[mparri11]

what a great nike advertisement!

[MrManofblues]

lol my tralanchulas named boris complete cowincidinky

[sarahlafish]

Complete with Cookie Monster vocals!

[TrickBott]

I learned about this song from Wiki as it is one of the first in which is used pre-growl/grunt. But I find it very intriguing and also I learned it on bass guitar. Nice song! Thanks "The Who"!

[tina5424]

what creeps me out most about this song is the number of actual spider videos showing up in the list of related songs on the right of the screen...the song's awesome but for someone who's scared of spiders it's hard to watch!

[jesscah91]

this song was written when they out of their heads on drugs so hence the craziness......although it is so great in its craziness

[ea451]

RIP John Entwistle, death by stripper, what a way to go out...

[FurryFerocity]

Woah! Roger Daltry CAN NOT SING anymore! This is one of the worst renditions of this song I have heard in a while.

[RayManzarekGod]

@FurryFerocity This was from 1982 and Johnny Entwistle and Pete are singing...

[turtelyturtleclub]

AAAH THERE IT IS

ITS THERE ITS COME BACK FROM THE DEAD



[SirHawkeyeWho]

So next time you want a spider killed call Pete Townshend xD

[lamogand]

oh yeah. he invented the death growl...

[brandinator22]

HOLLY SHIT THIS SONG IS CRAZY

[Randomman4343]

Lol at Pete's face at 1:34

[azkatro]

I might be biased, but could Kenney Jones's drumming on this be any more dull?

[jackhillty1]

@azkatro I was just sitting here thinking the same thing. this song is asking for the drummer to Rip and he just sort of sits there with a pleasant smile on his face. Another missed opportunity.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

When these guy had Keith Moon nobody could touch them. They were like a sonic nuclear bomb.

[SuperMike82]

I think is John's best song. I listen to it over and over and try to imitate his growl but it's hard to do it. But I love the end where Pete "freaks out" and Roger's all like There's a pair of them! and I think it's the best live version of this song I've seen. The only other version I like almost as much was when John played with Ringo and His All Starrs

[magnificusx]

Neat and funny song to play on bass!!!! :)

[TBDDevastator1]

Normally Kennys offbeat drumming can get annoying but here it adds good effect to the song. Entwistles awesome!

[jands8186]

oh look its Nickolas Cage!!

[idieinelevators]

I have another clip of the song where at the end Pete yells IT'S BORIS! And stomps on the stage, but they don't use a fake spider (they just use.... nothing. It's up to the audience's imagination!) and he stomps on it more. And then Roger, who has just been watching the entire time, calmly comes up and steps on it once as it that were it. I guess John didn't have the heart to re-kill Boris!

[eezy1972]

Is John playing a Warwick Buzzard here??

[Djarra]

Was that bit at the end when Peter started to go bald?

[StanleyWiddos]

Entwistle is a genius

[TheHappyDudeUK]

they killed Boris!!!!! BORIS!! :(

[brainstew222]

pete kinda looks like the bass player in flock of seagulls in this video

[pthibeault171145]

Surement la seule où John Enwistle chante c'est peut-être le compositeur

[irongeorge94]

boris the death metal spider XD

[scartissue94]

Pete was in his late 30's in this video, yet he could pass as a teenager. How the hell did he do that.

[superj0ey]

John Entwistle my officail favorite bassist of all time !!!!

[DiegoRyu12]

The best bass player of the history.

[atgskater14]

the recording never captures johns amazing voice

[linksfraulein]

What very tight pants John is wearing! Cute!

[ElvishSpirit]

Pete looks like Nicolas Cage in the video from certain angles....

xD

[xrealaxis]

SO MUCH ENERGY!

[fluffydolly]

boris my pet...ha ha ha!!!!

[MonstarX1]

Gay. Thumbs me down. It feels good.

[atgskater14]

although physically dead the ox still lives on

R.I.P John Thunderfingers Entwistle

[XamKool]

MY name is Boris :DD

[bjorkkody]

would you happen to be a spider? :D

[thelmasss]

I think this song inspired Tim Burton´s music for his movies :P

I like it :D

[14rachie]

a couple of guys at school were singing this today lol...

[atgskater14]

this is true metal unlike them fags today that scream like theyre being raped and dont know how to play guitar/bass very well which is why the who and specifically the ox will always be able to rock harder and play better than any death metal group today

[JGdrummer56]

wow, entwistle is a good growler lol

and the "back from the dead" thing made me laugh so hard xD

[RANDOMvideosbyME]

my favorite song of John's :)

80s who was crazy... Roger's hair, Pete's outfits....... just not them

and at 1:35 wtf is up with Pete's face?? LMAO

from 2:32 to the end is hilarious xDDDD

[scartissue94]

"AAAAHHH. IT'S BACK FROM THE DEAD!"

This video made my day.
