Keith Moon rare drum solo (goldfish kit)

[gringogetnofoll]

o cara é um monte de merda!!

[Metroparknas]

Keith É O Mestre

[JohnBlaney]

The fish seem to be loving it.

[ESCASEY]

eating goldfish (crackers) and this came to mind

[Bullseye5477]

Animal cruelty at its finest! Long live Moon the King!

[mrpraestantia1]

This is the proof of how Mitch Mitchell has always been better than Keith Moon.

[CryShitWolf]

SHITFACED!

[PeterSteves]

happy birthday Keith

[mrpraestantia1]

MITCH MITCHELL.

[mrfssales]

Roger Taylor (queen) é meu baterista favorito, mas ele q me perdoe.... Keith Moon é f...!!!

[ConnorG56]

if i ever felt sorry for one animal...

it would be the poor sod at 0:05 who had to stand next to LOONY MOONY

[brassierieerre]

Please do not tap on the glass.

[vladtepes97]

i've never thought moon was a particularly good drummer. he was always busy, but he didn't play anything impressive.

[FrangolinoPintassilg]

is rainbow of "California Jam 1974"

[PSZenPS]

don't hit the glass means anything?

[jazzkit753]

I NEED TO DO THAT SOME TIME!

[Hsolina7]

Battery and Fish

[seanwithoutYou]

keith was a beast but this solo is trash, there's nothing to it, let some faggot youtuber nay say because I'm obviously just jealous of it. there's literally NO technique to this at all, he must have been drunk :p

[redhook4]

Don't the tap the glass was created because of this :P

[cadaverr]

A drunken monkey on acid on a trip to the Amazon forest would still perform a better solo than this nonsensical cacophony this charismatic fella is doing here. If there's anything truely legendary about this man that was his madness and charisma. This thing here is a complete mess; a disaster. Totally sloppy and all over the place. Fans trying to defend it should be ashamed of such cynicism.

[burton8109]

@cadaverr you wish you could drum like that. not to mention keith moon was a bad ass mother fucker.

[cadaverr]

@burton8109 ROFL.

[cbkbstudio]

@cadaverr You're missing the point of the show - it's television, not a concert. Lighten up, ye who's named after a rotting corpse.

[TheBunnysOfDoom]

@cadaverr nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd

[cadaverr]

@TheBunnysOfDoom retarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd.

[jaqua524]

@cadaverr I hope you are aware that this was keith's first time touching a set in like a year, and he was wacked out of his mind, and oh yeah, hated drum solos, didn't take them seriously, and mocked them.

[cadaverr]

@jaqua524 He mocked and hated doing drum solos (and it shows). It's quite obvious that he couldn't solo for sh** but he was still a good drummer playing for the song, I won't take that away from him. He just wasn't meant to solo AT ALL.

[jaqua524]

@cadaverr no need to, he was great how he was, he hated drum solos, thought they were boring and pointless, a drum solo does not make a drummer

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

Goldfish love rock and roll.

[fendermaxime]

He also have a kit with his own urine inside

[TheFuggedaboutit]

hey, it says don't tap on the glass!

[GhostHunter50]

@TheFuggedaboutit He's not tapping the glass...he's smashing it!

[Revolutionl968]

Keith, The other Moon from outerspace. He he :)

[jesusonazareth]

I fucking love the way he says "even the best drummers get hungry"

[kellphil]

I think Gitchigoomi trolls you tube for people who like Kieth Moon just so he can give them shit for liking him!

[NamedBen]

Where does all that energy come from?????

[jesusonazareth]

@NamedBen tranquilizers. 

[Jabarichonicles]

that sounded like multiple drummers...

[druley09]

At this point in his life he had consumed enough booze and drugs to kill four or five normal humans

[reksub10]

the animal rights people got onto kieth moon for this ,saying it was crulety to animals ...guess what kieth moons reply was ...."gold fish love rock and roll" what a fucking guy ...awesome all round showman so talented

[twistedspanner]

"Gold fish love rock'n'roll too"

[everrice87]

after reading most of the posts ive come to a serious conclusion....ive heard Cream bring called a Heavy Metal band, and a "one hit wonder". And Keith Moon being bashed alot. Is this a technically difficult drum solo? No. however it fit the style of The Who. Which is what the people cared to listen to. Keith Moon was an excellent showman, as was the whole band in general. But seriously....ALOT OF YOU FUCKING MORONS DONT KNOW A GOD DAMNED THING ABOUT MUSIC. and yeah, the best come from the UK

[reksub10]

@everrice87 well said mate i couldnt have put it better myself ..these guys did all these shows and the music with only small input from pruducers nowadays these wee bieber biys and miley cyrus's they all need an enterage of people to even help them get dressed and get their hair right.cos they are all about image not muisc ,they need to be pretty for the magazines and some seession guy does the music.corporate bullshit ,but the internet will take that back,buyers paying stright to the musicians

[MadnessOfMarmots]

"Well, you know, even the best drummers get hungry."  Gotta love him.

[dharpify1]

cream really was the worlds first super group. they formed before led zeppelin and the beatles weren't a supergroup. the beatles were a phenomenal band but a super group is a group of already well known and skilled musicians who come together to make a band of only the best. john lennon, paul mccartney, and george harrison were all high school friends who just happened to be some of the best songwriters ever. they are an incredible band, but not a super group. cream is the first super group ever

[PittstonsFinest]

poor fish but wow

[ystrianka]

i'm so bloody sure that keith moon is the best drummer ever!! with just look at his face you can see the beast drummer inside him. :D

[gatha07]

Coincidentally, Keith Moon was last seen with future PETA spokesperson, "Paul McCartney" in September of 1978. Keith must be parodying Peter Criss of KISS in this performance. Tom Smothers first insulted Moon's drumming as being sloppy in 1967. Keith then went on to deliver an explosive performance of My Generation as you can see in the 1978 Who documentary, The Kids Are Alright.

[the8888]

WOW PETA must have killed keith in his sleep /: RIP keith moon

[peteandniko]

So what if he doesnt do solos,i love drum solos,but Keith was unique he played what he heard ,used it like a lead instrument,and played with such power,plus he had a fantastic inner metronome,that makes him the best Keith Moon type drummer in the world.RIP DEAR BOY!!

[sean13de]

Not really a very good drummer

[HandPeopleHandPeople]

@sean13de He's great. Drumming doesn't = blistering fast speeds.

[McDJohnny]

@HandPeopleHandPeople Thank you!!! Nobody seems to get it, speed isnt everything.

[MrConfuzeable]

@sean13de his handi cordination is pretty good though for as fast and accurate he plays

[btko1000]

@sean13de

you're mad!

[raidengear]

4 PETA members watched this vid

[Rob919Gore]

what 4 people didnt like this? jelous a little maybe? haha

[davelewitt]

I actually saw him do this one on the telly!

Keith was a pioneer- he made overplaying ( ie filling all the time) into a style- he was sloppy as hell but his energy and style were undeniable--

he is one of the reasons drumming has evolved so much in the past 30 years-

check out this solo by a Keith Moon fan and the author of

"The Book of Funk Beats- grooves for snare, bass and hihat"

[manohman101]

even the best drummers get hungry!!

hahahhahah

[MrCorgiReg]

What a legend that man was... a proper loon

RIP

[uscummertwat]

had the pleasure of seeing the who at portsmouth guildhall 8 years ago . best gig i have been too . ringo starr 's son zak was on drums . kieth moon rip

[scartissue94]

I think his best drum solo was in the song "Cobwebs and Strange", now THAT was some crazy talent.

[rushpython100]

still dont understand why some say hes better than pert

[SquallLionhart409]

@rushpython100 I think its because this "solo" is about what he does during a lot of songs. He brought a giant amount of energy to every song The Who played. That said, I think this solo sucks. Compare any of the performances from The Who after Keith died to before. Their Superbowl performance sucked.

[rushpython100]

the who was pretty good for 65 year olds, but like you said, would have been better with moon and i think entwistle. Entwistle was a brilliant bassist, comparing to flea, geddy lee, and billy sheehan. to bad he died at 60 in bed with a stripper and high on cocain. :'(

[hostak1026]

don't let peta see this!

[cambruoso]

Overrated.

[R2KDood]

gitchigoomi, are you having a fukin laugh!?

How pathetic and shallow do you have to be to insult someone because of their teeth, why you even posting on here? why not go suck off mike portnoy and remind him that hes got a dick? i bet the fat american fuk looks the spit of you.

If you the think americas so great, check out a film called Zeistgeist it tries its best to inform your nations people that your being run like little pigs. "go back to bed america, you are free to do as we tell you"

[iangoblin71]

Mel Gibson's gonna paint his face blue again and kick your ass!!!!! haha

[kohoutekcorporation]

KAPLAAAAAH.

[SoilentGr33n]

I must say that's not exactly his best solo

[gitchigoomi]

"a black Muslim running your country..." Oh, so you are a racist in addition to being a douche bag.

[XxGoCrazyGurlxX]

take that back!! oh you call all british fat pigs just cause we dont carry guns ?

WE INVENTED VIOLENCE MATE!

youve gotta have a mega set of balls to walk into a neighborhood with just a stick!

And at least we acctually own a toothbrush and dont dunk it down the tiolet like someone. YES YOU NOT AMERICANS!! im not blaming a whole nation for the stupidness of one individual

[gitchigoomi]

"WE INVENTED VIOLENCE MATE!" Best quote on this whole fucking thread.

[gitchigoomi]

No. I'll bet your teeth are bad, aren't they "mate?"

[gitchigoomi]

Do you think this is a good or difficult solo? IT'S FUCKING HORRIBLE!!! Open your ears and watch it without fantasizing about being Moon.

[abermants]

I agree. SLOPPY AS HELL lol

[gitchigoomi]

Shut up.

[Blubrackets]

Even the best drummers get hungry! 0:54

[EuGJaMMeR]

Awesome 0:35 - 0:38

[zconfilmaker]

umtieeyaa

[NuggetPumpkin]

Another answer for his goldfish could be that he just blows them up.

[XxGoCrazyGurlxX]

Lol if all the members of The Who done a scene from The Young Ones, keith would definetley be Vyvyan

*ring door bell*

*door explodes*

everyone:KEITHH!!!!!

Keith:KEITH KEITH KEITH! honestly whenever anything expldoes in this house its always blame Keith!

Roger:who do you suppose we blame?

Keith:blame whoever rang the front door because that obviously triggered the bomb i set up!

Roger:WHAT BOMB!?

Keith:well i thought we might not be able to hear the door so i thought id pump it up abit

[gitchigoomi]

Yeah, because his playing sucks. This is one of the most embarrassing clips I have ever seen of a professional musician.

[emmett12345678]

you r a dikhead y cant ya jus go nd fuk off

[gitchigoomi]

Is this what passes for discussion in Ireland. Have another drink and come back later.

[emmett12345678]

Stop being such a prejudiced bastard. Hes one of the most influential drummers ever and helped bring drumming into the mainstream and stopped it from being just a background instrument.

[gitchigoomi]

No I won't. No he isn't, at least not among musicians. He made cool faces during mimed performances. That's about it.

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

^ i agree. gitchigoomi, wtf is your problem and why the prejudice. dont be a fucking retard. guess what? youre one of the few idiots that doesnt appriciate good musicians.

[sickassguitarist]

lol are u fucking serious? ur a fucking wanker

[gitchigoomi]

No, I'm not a "wanker." It took me 20 years to get out from underneath Moon's spell. Like many of my friends who also grew up with him (and saw him live in concert) we believed he was more than he was because we wanted to. It was something about his personality, not his playing. By the way, I watched your video. It's awesome when your dog comes in and starts getting in on the act!

[t0mme1981]

What really affected Keith Moon was when his driver ran over and killed someone outside a pub in the UK.

It was all down hill from that point (1972 I think). The other members came very close to sacking him, he was that unreliable.

[gitchigoomi]

Actually, Keith Moon ran over his own driver/bodyguard and killed him. Get your facts straight. It was a tragic incident.

[t0mme1981]

Thank you for taking time to increase my knowledge.

[gitchigoomi]

Someone has to.

[esotericify]

Cream was like an early metal. Metal was totally different then.

[TomMagic92]

Cream where not heavy metal.

Clapton is a BLUES guitarist and therefore wanted to play BLUES music.

That's why cream is phycadelic/blues/rock. there's nothing heavy metal about them

[TheLibby3]

who cares, if keith was not drunk all the time, then he probbly would never have been "moon the loon".

[MrDuffmansaysboo]

cream are so far from heavy metal there a blues derived rock band and possibly the best with the exception of led zeppelin who are in a league all of there own

[Drumma425]

I love the goldfish kit!

Keith Moon FTW!!!

[BrianGoins]

he should've had goldfish in all of the toms. that would have been priceless

[Darthvictor12]

ya it would of but they would of died then, cause he uses the toms the most

[ConfuzzledMess]

except for the exploding drums. lol

[brazwen]

cream the first supergroup lol i don't think so it the beatles who are the first super group and then led zeppelin

[Boredguy82]

i don't get why people gave u thumbs down, i think that's right...

[nunsense666]

cream was one of the first heavy metal bands...they were before their time

[brazwen]

yeah i know that but i wasn't talking bout that cuz some guy said cream are the first supergroup but i corrected him it was beatles and then led zeppelin

[tonymontana1974]

Cream werent heavy metal they were rock theres a difference.

[tomwebb123]

there's absolutely NO WAY cream were a heavy metal band, they're completely different from heavy metal bands...

and i'm not too sure about them being before their time, they were popular at the time.

[Lengsel7]

Cream was totally a heavy metal band.

[indieproper]

Thats a stupid thing to say. Read Eric Claptons autobiography and you will know they are a blues derived rock band(as one of the others said) A heavy metal band doesn't write songs like Sunshine of your love,or wrapping paper,or badge,they're all well unheavy metal.

[Lengsel7]

You're saying that Heavy Metal can't be blues based/derived? THAT is a stupid thing to say.

[cavallodelmare]

poor fish

[2c26]

Ha ha ha... moon the loon!!

[maricnba]

Indeed...

[Lewilt]

poor fish

[chriskoob]

think this is where jim henson got the idea of Animal from the muppets?

[glueforall]

...Even the best drummers get hungry !!

[PearlObito]

what said keith at the end about the glodfish? i did'n understand nothing only goldfich and hungry je

[GMorrison22]

'The Goldfish...even the best drummers get hungry.'

[lexy67flc]

And to those worried about the goldfish, he never ONCE hit that floor tom throughout the whole performance.

[The1ne07]

wasnt that floor tom for holding his drinks?

[lexy67flc]

Hahaha...yeah. That's what he generally used the floor tom on that side for - holding drinks, a towel and extra drum sticks (and goodness knows what else, really!).

Ah, to PearlObito - he said that the best drummers get hungry - he was joking though...I hope LOL!

[The1ne07]

pretty ironic

gold fish in his floor tom,saying even the best drummers get hungry,and he has his face painted like a cat

[lexy67flc]

This has to be one of the most incredible drum solos I have ever heard - and this isn't all of it - it's five minutes of drumming heaven!

Some of the bass drum he's hitting is so fast that I can't even count it, and I'm a musician!

Pete Townshend said that Moon could hit a drum every half a milisecond (they had timed it), and apparently it was faster than machine gun fire (in those days). People said it was impossible, but Keith could do it. A great loss, I still mourn him even now.

[dvdhero8]

keith moon is the only person who can change a drum beat with one hand

[theebomber]

The drum has goldfish in it....

nuff said...

[buldic]

Can we put a stop to people who have and will never have a career,critisizing those who have had one!

[HppyEmoKid]

The goldfish are propbably wondering what the hell is going on

[ivanahumpalot97]

ok i cant believe that sum 1 said this sucks, its fuckin hard t play a solo like that and of course its gonna sound a little off cuz its got fuckin fish in it, its not gonna sound like a professional drum set cuz its not really made to be

[40fordcoop]

the people who say they are great drummers usually aren't !

[RoGeRthebest92]

the best!!!!

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

Very overrated. He was good in his later days, but Ginger Baker and Bonham put him to shame. Keith can't even do a basic triplet to save his life, plays simple signatures, lags behind a LOT, and plays sloppy in general, hes just got great entertainment value.

[Beavoux59]

You are an IDIOT!

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

Thats your amazing comeback? Wow you made some great points there, really taught me I was wrong, even though anyone who plays know all that shit is true.

[ddecto]

Your Right about moon, but he was better than Mitch Mitchell even in his early days. I would rather listen to some early Moon solos rather than any Bonham solos, probably because I don't really like zeppelin. I would easily say that Ginger baker was better than Bonham, Moon, and Mitchell, but that's because I'm a Die Hard Cream Fan.

[ddecto]

I think cream could beat Hendrix, the who, and zepp. Mostly because they have a better singer, Bassist, and Drummer. Cream didn't start doing drugs until Wheels of Fire(1967) so they were sober alot more than the other guys. Clapton wasn't the top of his game, but he was better than Page and Townshend, because he had way more stamina during a solo. Same goes for jack. Jack wasn't very Technical, but he had a hell of alot more stamina than alot of other top Bassists

[FrizAtHome]

Cream sucks camel dick. One-hit wonder

[monsta64]

Hey FrizAtHome,

So which song was Cream's "one-hit "?

Sunshine of your love, White Room, Tales of Brave Ulysses, Strange Brew, Crossroads, Born under a bad sign, Spoonful or Swlabr?

[FrizAtHome]

ive never heard of the other 7 so take a wild guess smart-ass

[Doom5934]

Cream was the first supergroup. It was hard for them to not be good.

[Phrase]

I agree with you dude, Keith was a great drummer for The Who but this solo is pathetic to say the least, looks like someone who has never played the drums before!

[musictflo]

Looks like-what about sounds like? Sounds great to me. Pathetic? How? Is he flubbing a note? It is not "clean enough"?No continuity? It flows together seamlessly. I'll take messy "felt" technique before I take sterile any day of the week. Get a grip.

[jodgey4]

YOU try playing half-gone drunk sometime! It's impossible!

[FrizAtHome]

ya man its definatly nt pathetic. The guy didnt even practice and hes playing a novelty fish tank drumset. Listen to Young Man Blues from Live at Leeds and try to say his solos suck again

[exoticlown]

I'd take Moon over Bonham anyday too

[musictflo]

Moon didn't need to solo, since he has essentially soloing all of the time. A truly great drummer in any genre.

[AgentOrange1969]

Das ist wirklich nur schlecht! Jeder der sich am Schlagzeug auskennt sieht das von weitem !!!Der trifft nicht eine einzige Trommel richtig. Haut nur drauf! Da ist überhaupt nichts was irgendwie Stil oder Rhythmus hat.

Versteht ihr sowas unter einem guten Solo??

[Beavoux59]

Ich bin ein sofa!

[jakerandall123]

There will never be another Keith Moon. The man was THE MAN for the KIT!

[muaddib96]

Moon is the man, He's a stage show in himself.

[LZBlackDog71]

I love Zeppelin but Keith moon is def the ultimate drummer

[Edward234]

I'd take Moon over Bonham anyday. There was never another drummer who was so intimately involved in the moment and the music and who could improvise in the same way as Moon. You just have to look at his performances when he was at his prime, not when he was becoming depressed and drugged up. Look at his Isle of Wight performance, he could have powered the whole island with his energy.

[beagleman123456789]

Moby Dick goes everywhere, but nobody can cover the BONZO BONHAM, not MOON,can't play a triplet to save his life.

[beagleman123456789]

He's no John Henry Bonham, no TRIPLITS, no open rolls, no shuffel beats...no big deal.Look @ Bonham's Moby Dick from Albert Hall..every thing and the "kitchen sink"

[por865]

I think i agree with you about that. But, I am upset because now when people say who is the best drummer they will say bonham because of moby dick and knowone knows about cobwebs and strange.

[eveningtsar]

What a loss. It wasn't his technical skill, but his passion that set him way above.

[MHarrison84]

Keith Moon and Mitch Mitchell are my favorite the Who KICKS AZZ

[spontanioususername]

what is this azz you speak of?

[CorruptedBacon]

Greatest Q & A of the 70's

[por865]

I am kind of pissed about how tight a grip pete had on the band. He never let the rest of his VERY talented band spred its wings like this. Keith never got a moby dick or a toad like other bands and i know if he did he would have blown those out of the water.

[TravelingWilbury7]

yeah, but in every the who song you could notice the amazing drums, wether Pete was playing or not.

[jduf779955]

my dad is going to see them in Washington Dc in box seats too

[CerebrateHyatt]

Those goldfish had the best seats for the show.

[XXSLASHXX44]

he better have not smashed that drum set when he was done. PETA would be all over his ass

[guitarlightbulb624]

anial cruilty

[LedKenji666]

they have no hears

[somaliCABdriver]

Hey beagle man what ever...this aint not John Bonham video....you dumshit.....

[megsycore]

:S wont that kill the fish..

[PaptimusScirocco]

that's the point, he's trying not to
