I love Mike's cover bands because they pay a great tribute to some of the greatest bands of all time, but they still have their own voice. They aren't trying to be exactly like the Who, but they come close enough if you ask me.
I love Mike to death! But.. I just feel he didn't capture Keith that well. Don't get me wrong Mike's great!!! And, then again, Moon the loon was irreplaceable.
Was this the Chicago show? That was SO AWESOME! I love Mike's showmanship. He kept chucking sticks at the sound guys behind stage bc his monitor wasn't right. And I caught a stick...
stupid mother fuckin fags the lot off u. fuck man, i really doubt portnoy could be a suitable replacement for the legend MOON THE LOON. and i really really doubt tht moon could pull of even one DT song even after years of practise. they r both two legends in two very different ways man. their both irreplacable. They'r both fuckin drummin gods

you are by far the stupidest person i have ever known, especially if you play the drums. Not only is keith moon an idiot, hes not even that great at drums. Mike portnoy who is covering them has won greatest modern drummer i think 6 years in a row now, and also, he is the youngest person to ever get inducted in to the drumming hall of fame your a fucking idiot go blow a chode you stupid homo.
you are an idiot! keith is maybe the first great and modern ROCK DRUMMER of the history of rock and roll drumming. Every drummer, Portnoy included, is ispired by Keith Moon. The Who and Keith Monn are HISTORY of rock. As a drummer you should know it very well...

I never said the who wasnt good i actually enjoy the who a laot, however you said the drummer covering the song was bad, keith moon is an idiot he drank himself to death like an idiot, and most songs he made are not that difficult on the drums, neil pert, and bonham are 100 times better than him, why dont you realize you make no sense.
probably you don't realize that the beauty of a song doesn't depend on the skills that the drummer has but on the emotions and feelings he transmit to the audience. Dream Theater songs are "cold", there's no feeling and passion....AND RESPECT KEITH MOON, A LEGEND OF ROCK...
FUCK YOU!!! im not saying peart or bonham is better or worse, but im tired of people actually comparing drummers like that. YOU ALL CAN FUCK OFFF!!! Neil, John, and Keith were amazing drummers, who never in the daylight would compare themselves! GET OVER IT!
Funny thing was. Pete Townshend hated when people sang along.

Unfortunately for Portnoy, to play like Moon you got to play like a non-drummer....

Yeah, other than the exact spot on performance and total reproduction of his kit, it's pretty weak.

This has been flagged as spam show
The who sound like a group of drunk louts bashing away at their instruments, they cannot even play in time.
Modern sound equipment would show how bad some 60 and 70's band sound-it is good thing they are from this era.

While Portnoy was the most innovative and influential drummer of the 90's.
Keith Moon was one of the first innovators for the drums ever. He's up there with Buddy Rich IMO.
