  • Aw Pete. I love everything he says.

  • i would have gay sex with pete any day

  • Comment removed

  • legend love him.

  • DAT NOSE

    

  • Pete's eyes are truly amazing - they pierce right through you, all that intelligence and awareness in there... gives me the shivers, in a nice way :D

  • I like the random chuckle after the comment about the Beatles writing their own material.

  • 1the beatles

    2 the who

    3 led zeppelin

  • Awww Pete you are awesome, I mean look at him, a genius and also a sexy beast! XD

  • roger was the real master of the who

  • I could seriously listen to him talk for the rest of my life. His voice is so.. like entrancing! I don't even know, but I LOVE it! It's funny how it sounds so much different than his singing voice.

  • I hate to say it Pete, but now in your 60's you do look very like Paul Keating (Australian ex prime minister, he also managed a band called the Ramrods!!)

  • awww he's cute!! :D

  • GENIUS!!! simply a genius...

  • gr8 songwriter, sooo intelligent, those 4 guys together were magnificent, keith wot can i say the greatest drummer to eva live n john's bass playin out of this world, rogers voice fitted so well with the music they played n then pete who wrote the music n brought a deeper meanin to it all - aint we lucky they all met n formed one of the best bands ever

  • As a woman, I too don't get why women prefered Roger. Any of the other three were much much much better: Pete is big nosed blue eyed genius, Keith is loonie machine, John is a bass monster, and Roger... well, as Pete once said, Roger is just the singer.

  • @celuloidiana HOW CAN U SAY THAT???? ROGER IS AWSUM!!!!! GET IT IN YOUR HEAD!!!!

  • @celuloidiana Don't be so rough about Roger ^^ He's a great singer, and he's overall the voice of The Who. If you replace him by another singer, it won't be the same. They're all irreplaceable in this band !

  • @celuloidiana well to be fair and honest, Roger is the best looking and very talented singer with excellent vocal range. He can actually sing, in other words.

  • @celuloidiana i wouldnt put down roger like that even if he did just sing his voice was amazing, not many guys can scream like that without getting annoying

  • well actually I prefere Pete! I love his moves! :D

  • Pete is one of my idols he is brilliant

  • very talented man i greatly admire his music but i must say not that i am shallow and such but damn they said ringo's nose was big he is handsome though and a musical genius

  • Comment removed

  • I understand. You might not but I do.

  • I'm a 20yr old girl/women and i recognise this man as a superb performer and downright sexy, his character is very attractive and not in the least intimidating because he knows what he's on about!! So what if most girls love the pin up boys...the pin up boys have about as much character as a trodden on flea, (i generalize slightly prehaps!!) but if they want to take the bait let em', more Pete for the girls that truly adore him! Don't get me started about how gorgeous he looks when he smiles!

  • Happy Birthday Pete Townshend 5/19/10

  • all you girls care a bout is his looks? this man is a music genius

  • @KIDAmnesiacBends

    Let's be honest, calling Pete good looking isn't really common for most girls to say. But in a way, that's a good thing. Because they see that he is a truly intelligent, and highly talented musician, rather than his appearence.

  • @scartissue94 i got to tell you that JUST the girls fans of the who, like me, can see that he's cute, besides of his intelligence and music talent that i admire. i love his nose, eyes and the way he talks, with his countless ''you know'' . , his songs. are masterpieces. :D

  • I think Pete is really handsome, highly intelligent, and immensely talented. I'm probably the 1% at my high school that likes him while the rest of the girls prefer Taylor Lautner. : \

  • @DElasee same with me :)

  • @DElasee well you kno hes like 65 now, so im prett sure all thos thing arent the same aha

  • @DElasee I feel you... I feel you... I was in Psychology the other day, and my teacher was talking about how Pete has this thing with his hearing that makes him always hear ringing, and so the girl next to me was like, "I don't even know who that is." And I turned to her and said, "HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO PETE TOWNSHED IS?!" They just don't get it... I'm in love with Bob Dylan, and feel the way you do about Pete. Most people these days (except the adults) just don't understand our love for them

  • @DElasee Pete actually did something and made an impact instead starring in a crappy vampire movie. Why you're the 1% i'll never know.

  • @DElasee Hell Yes!

  • Ha ha your right, he said "you know" 17 times.....lol

  • "you know...."

    count how many times. Lol, I don't think I've heard that in a sentence so many times ever!

  • Petes eyes are soooooooooo pretty! i could stare in to them all day long!...i wonder what it is like behind those blue eyes?lol!

  • yes i know Pete! LOL

  • He's got a college degree and a 400 IQ so what do you expect

  • @brown9708 how do you know this?

  • Are you fucking stupid, son?

    A 400 IQ?

    Let's be fucking realistic here...brown9708 is kidding.

  • @asmorgan88 If it were possible, he'd have one...

  • @idieinelevators

    I have no idea what you're talking about...have one what?

  • @asmorgan88 If it were possible to have a 400 IQ Pete would have one! :D

  • you can ask him anything and he'll guve you the best answer ever

    god Pete rocks

  • Pete always had an answer for everything. Always had an opinion in which is expressed with such honesty and eloquence (even when he was high as a kite). It's really admirable. I can listen to this man give a weather report and still remain intrigued.

    I Will never ever understand why most women preferred Roger in those days. He's got nothing on Pete's unique looks and intelligence.

  • @gdosic maybe it was the nose

  • @gdosic i like pete and roger and keith when he was y ounger :)

  • @gdosic well I mean Roger is so dashing! but pete is cute too, I love his eyes and his onstage antics make me kraaazzyyy hehe

  • @gdosic

    He's got nothing to that nose, either.

  • @gdosic In those days, and in these days it's more about the sexy showiness rather than the handsome intelligence. Plant over Page. Weir over Garcia.

  • @gdosic wow, you perfectly summed up everything i love about him. although, it's easy to see why girls preferred roger; he's a lot more conventionally good-looking.

  • @gdosic Because Roger was easier on the brains, for girls, better filter to leave the ground for smarter women.The original punk destilled off beatnik decades, even Hendrix HAD to destroy his guitar too, he saw thru it.

  • Pete from back in the day. One of the great intellectuals of Rock.

  • Pete is so cuuute! He has the cutest eyes and the cutest little rosebud mouth.

    And this is a great interview because he would've only been 22 when this taping was recorded, and most of the 22-year-old people that I know are neither as eloquent nor quite as philosophizing as he's proving himself to be here. Many musicians can be quite forthright in their songs but when it comes to interviews they can't talk worth a damn.

  • About the recording of the Beatles without their voices being flippin` lousy (I'm a Beatle fan), he was obviously talking about the early days of the Beatles, in which, we can't deny, melodies are pretty simple and easy going, just as the early Who years were too. I don't understand why some people takes it in such a wrong way.

  • he was just talking about the backing vocals

  • Pete is just a great speaker. He is very together to express his ideas both in the his speech and music. He is a very consequent man, very honest and intelligent.

  • Now I understand why Daltrey would kick his ass in the early days.

  • I thought Pete hated the Beatles. 'Flipping lousy,' goes the famous quote.

  • He is merely reffering to their influence on pop culture & music in general, not his personal opinions.

  • ........Along with nothing about specific genres which, yes, they had nothing to do with, but like I said, he is only talking in general. Only elitists & sheep-minded fanboys credit them with everything but the creation of the universe. Pete is intellectually superior to that mentally & musically.

  • Well, what he said was that the Beatles' vocal backing tracks were "flippin' lousy" ...

  • From the sound of his statement, it seems that he felt that their pre-1966 instrumental backings (that's when he was quoted, anyway) were sub-par and lightweight. He, in fact, respected the Beatles as a whole, even going so far as to calling them his "main source of inspiration" in January, 1967. He especially had great reverence for Paul McCartney, saying in that same 1967 interview, "I like all the things he says, and all the songs he writes...". A shot in the heart of Piero Scaruffi indeed.

  • then i can proudly tell you that i fucking kicked that bastard scaruffis reviews out of wikipedia, a reliable source he is when it goes to talking shit out of your mouth.

    but i can't see how ticket to ride or in my< life can be regarded as weak backing tracks, for ewxample, or even i saw her standing there.

  • Happy Birthday Townshend  5/19/09

  • It's his Birthday today! Happy 64th Pete!

  • Hes kinda cute in this video! ha ha ha!

  • Pete was so articulate, eloquent and just magnificent. He always had something to say, and he said it in such an interesting way. I love the music he writes, the accent he has and almost everything about him. I agree with the person who couldn;t understand how back then Roger got all the ladies. As much as I love Rodge, really..

  • Pete always had an answer for everything. Always had an opinion in which is expressed with such honesty and eloquence (even when he was high as a kite). It's really admirable. I can listen to this man give a weather report and still remain intrigued.

    I Will never ever understand why most women preferred Roger in those days. He's got nothing on Pete's unique looks and intelligence.

  • I know...pete had all the talent.(and the looks, i think =D)

    but for whatever reason roger is the one who got all the girls.

    eeh whatever, i want pete so thats all that matters to me xD

  • you can call me old fashioned - but please tell me , if there is in pop music something comparable nowadays. What happened at these years to pop music was unique. And The Who did a lot for this.

  • Interesting..in a later interview he said he listened to the Stones more than the Beatles. He also mentioned that The Who opened for the Stones and how impressed he was with Mick Jagger. Love seeing this archival stuff. Thanks!

  • Haha! I saw that one two. Are you a fellow obsessive?

  • Lol, pretty obsessive about The Who yes. :)

  • Yeah ,I agreed with you ,Pete...Beatles are big influence to England at that time...

  • man, most of the time it looks like pete is on acid LOL.

  • uppers,amigo. he'd be rocking back and forth and losing forgetting his own dialog on acid

  • I wouldn't know to either gawk at his lyrical genius, or feed him a carrot and some sugar cubes.

    I kid, hes undeniably cute!

  • Yes, it's true that Jimmy Page played guitar on two numbers of the Who's debut album "My Generation". According to Pete, Jimmy Page played rhythm guitar and Pete played lead guitar on "I Can't Explain" and I think that Page played lead guitar on "Bald Headed Woman".

  • "Him and Jimmy Page (yes I know they don't really have anything to do with eachother)"

    But they do: Jimmy Page (rather than Townsend) played on the initial recording of "Can't explain".

  • He's a genius in Lennon's class.

  • So cute and love his voice.

    Him and Jimmy Page (yes I know they don't really have anything to do with eachother)

    but they both have the most adorable speaking voices<333

  • Omg pete was HOTTT.. i also think he looks like the guy who plays jimmy in quadrophenia

  • ohmygod i know hes geooorgoouuesssssss

  • I love the Who, they're my second favourite band although I've always found Pete to be a bit arrogant. However, he is also incredibly smart, as witnessed in this interview. What he's saying about the Beatles and rock music and popular culture sounds so ahead of its time.

  • yeah they were..... well not until Hendrix.. took that away from the British..

  • that was so cute! he was so shy! he didn't look at the camera or the interveiwer!he got way better at public speaking throughout his career!

  • He says "y'know" 17 times. He sure was charming, even if he wasn't so solid a speaker... squee!! He's so cute it hurts :)

    not to mention he's FINGBRILLIANT

  • check out that nose

  • lol

    he was handsome

  • I like to see a Who/Beatles variation - two bands made up of 1.Townshend Entwistle/Lennon/Starr & 2.Daltry/Moon/McCartney/Harris­on. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...

  • you got that last part from imagine. haha

  • The Who= the best band in the world.

    Pete Townshend= Glorious, Epic, Brilliant, Beautiful.

    I love him to the day. And I don't even mind the 49 year difference between us.

  • are you blind???

    42 years later hes still hot. i'm seeing The Who tomorrow!!!

  • i know, he is yummy =p i saw the who 2 weeks ago in DC, they were absolutely fantastic.

  • I usually try to listen to whatever he says when i see an old interview, but i get distracted by how gorgeous he is. i like colour interviews better though, because then you can see his blue blue blue eyes.

  • Man that is the funniest thing I've read in ages "he looks like Spock". Brilliant humour, though I imagine you meant it. I live 2 mins from Pete's house here on Richmond Hill (The Wick). I may mention the Spock comment next time I bump into the fellow.

  • Oh yeah mate I stay next door to Roger. I'll call the fellow up and we can all have tea together! HAHAHAHAH

  • you dont really live by pete do you?

  • I do actually live near Pete. He lives here on Richmond Hill. I sometimes see him outside his cool pad when I'm driving home from work.

  • OMG, I can see it!

  • Pete was so cute back then. Hell, he's cute now. Is that weird for a 20 year old to be saying that? I don't care. I love that man.

    And his nose is AMAZING!

    btw, The Who is better than The Beatles. =P

  • XD Not weird at all

    although for me The Beatles and The Who switch off, I think they're both equally good, but for different reasons.

  • The Beatles influenced pretty much ever rock n roll band, The Who are probobly better though but i am a huge Beatles fan.

  • Yeah I'm a huge Beatles fan also but love The Who. Both bands are excellent and quite different. The one thing they did have in common however was that neither included Ronnie Wood on bass.

  • the beatles and the who are my two favorite bands. BUT, i think i like the beatles abit more.

  • yeah those are my top two favorites but i like the who a tad bit more only because the who is the first band i got in to

  • ya. i like the beatles a tad bit more cuz i got into them first. they are both disturbingly great though.

  • yeah lol the beatles and the who are sensational!

  • a bit more...

  • ya, a bit more. NICOLE! gaaaah!

  • yeah.. same =) i just thought i would bug you. hehe

  • ya ok so im replying to my own comment.but that was a reply to someone who said the beatles and the who were they're favorite bands. so i was just saying, me too. and saying that i liked the beatles abit more though. but they are my favorites! no diss-age to the who at all. dont worry. i love the who to death.

  • he was 22 years old in this clip

  • Damn, that's pretty young for him to think up all of those big ideas for The Who. I wonder where all the creativity for musicians went. Back then they were so ground breaking and thinking up new, complex ideas at such young ages. I feel sorry for music today.

  • he was 21

  • I love Pete, hell, I love The Who y'know ;).

  • im not going to lie i LOVE pete's nose

  • i know, its sexy(=

  • Ugh to cute...love his scouse accent...am i the only one?? :)

  • That's not a scouse accent. The Beatles had scouse accents. That's a working class London (Shepherds Bush) accent.

  • hes not a scouser. but i do love his accent (=

  • omg can pete seriously get any hotter?

  • My Favorite Guitarist

  • he was 22 years old in this clip <3

  • I love Pete Townshend. I LOVE HIM. I. LOVE. HIM. I don't even care if he's 49 years older then me, 'cause I love him. Him, the music he created, it just makes life worth living for me.

    THANK GOD FOR THE WHO.

  • I love it when he laughs. He's soooo cute. ahhhhh...

  • Y'know? <3

  • OMG! Pete is sooooo adorable in this vid!!!! I love Pete Townshend he is sooo insightful and talented. The Who are the best band ever!!

  • Yeah, I love his "y'know"s. And "sort of"...I think that's a British thing. So adorable. :) Pete is so yummy and brilliant. *sigh*

  • count the number of times he says y' know!!lmao i still love this man to death<3

    ....you know?

  • love him too and he doesnt say umm or anything like that

  • That little grin at 1:43 is to DIE for.

    :-D

  • Pete.....you and i both know that The Who are the best...Beatles are second. Gosh! He is so amazing and gorgeous in this video :)

  • ohh so magnificent!

    stuck on himself but a completley amazing guitarist!

  • gosh, he is so gorgeous.

  • Whotles you're so right. No one, and I mean no one tops the Beatles! The Who are brilliant and the 2nd best Rock band of all time.

  • Pretty sure the years was '65 or '66. This was shown on Swedish Television.

  • It was from bucket T shown on the ,Popreportage From London, 2nd February 1967.

  • Yes Pete, "The Beatles" are excellent, their the best ever.

  • I think Pete's even better than the Beatles.

  • Your funny!

  • thank you
