Tommy - Pinball Wizard

[TheBookWorm1718]

Am I the only one who's never gotten what the Pinball Wizard was supposed to be? Is he a giant? What?

[TheRollingStoner75]

@TheBookWorm1718 pinball wizard is tommy

[TheBookWorm1718]

@TheRollingStoner75 Alright, let me amend myself, what is the Champ?

[TheRollingStoner75]

@TheBookWorm1718 the previous "pinball wizard" ? i don't know i've never seen the movie :P

[TheBookWorm1718]

@TheRollingStoner75 Well that doesn't matter because all there is to him is what we see here, but still, WHAT is he? Is he supposed to be a giant or something? And he goes on about Tommy being a freak, if that ain't the big fat pot calling the kettle broken!

[wwiimedic1]

@TheBookWorm1718 I think they made him a giant in this video to show the crowd "how big he was" in pinball and then turned it into a David V Goliath story at the end by having him lose to the most unexpected person they could produce.

Elton would have won if he wasn't playing that damn piano again.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

@foxman430 lol. good point!

[Irlandese64]

God I miss Keith Moon.

[RuneFactory07]

That guy playing the Pinball Wizard is friggin' smexy!

...Also, LittleKuriboh should TOTALLY make a Yu-Gi-Oh version of this.

[bckm54]

Fame and glitz aside, I wonder how good a pianist Elton John really is... I played the piano years ago, and I was nowhere even remotely as good as he was on his worst day with two broken wrists...so I'm not dissing him... I'm just wondering how good a pianist he really is...

[isupportthepatriots]

@bckm54: He's pretty darned good...

4:51 the guy carrying Tommy on the left is the "newsboy", Pete Townshend's younger brother, Simon.

[OSarubiO]

It's pretty good in acting for the opera but I showed it to my friend and now she thinks I'm weird... :(

[musicmattm]

@OSarubiO haha! But you're right this is like the most normal scene it actually is done well.

[freakybro121]

[wew5450]

[tefw47]

i gotta say...after seeing all his pictures of his outfits...the scariest and most desturbing ones are him in the 90's...ugh...the turtle neck and sport jacket is just horrible this is his coolest get up

[wrestler0708]

I want those boots!! I walk everywhere in them!

[Trycruces]

Ahhh... The 70's Rock Opera! Nothing like it since.

[MrKilroy138]

Just so you know, the pinball games in this video are old, old, old and if you want to look for pictures of these old machines, check out your local library.

[dicktracy59]

@MrKilroy138

The games are not OLD, OLD, OLD - I played them in 1975.

That would make me . . . .o . . l . . d.

[EminemFan202]

I wish I was a pinball wizard like Roger Daltrey

[nightowl8936]

This version is incredible. Way better than The Who version ... so much more energy and rich sound with Elton John and the piano ... never heard a piano played with such passion and strength in a rock song.

[Cowzilla15]

Agree. I love the Who version just the same though.
