  • you... didnt know who the who were?

    what is this world coming to :|

  • To be honest, I didn't really know who The Who was, but espn just announced they are playing the Super Bowl, so I just checked out this song,(which I didnt know I already knew)and this is one of the sweetest videos I have ever seen!! Hopefully they still sound this good now! I guess we'll find out at the Super Bowl...

    Inside the Bacon..

  • la duqesa de alga

  • greatest live band ever

  • 0:47 LOL!!!

  • lol that's really cool my generation is one of my fav who songs

  • Great Band... Great Song ...Powerfull !!!! one of the best of all time! ... tnx!

  • esta vergas tu video

  • If someone who had never heard rock and roll ask me to explain what it is to them. I'd show them this! LONG LIVE ROCK!!!!!

  • What a fucking Hot Bass riff!!

  • No offense to Pete but at 1:42, he looks like Dracula for a second lol

  • Great!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I <3 The Who :)

  • Good

  • nice vid, nice Who :)

  • Kieth moon FTW ( what a legend

  • The who never copied anyone...

    But everyone copied the Who...

    cmon u cant blame 'em

  • 70's and 80's were the best,now there aren't bands that make this type of music :/

  • a personal favorite!

    My band does this song minus the bass solo cuase we don't have a bass.

  • I was 16 then , and there !

    This paticular song was a huge blast when it came out . It really changed something in the way we , teens behaved . These guys were living their lives as is , We blew the system out !

  • this song is awesome!

  • a great rock n roll song a great rock n roll video, truly epitomizes what rock is all about!!!!!!

  • More idiotic nonsense that led the teenage rebellion.

  • u, my friend, are full of idiotic nonsense, or else u wouldn't have said such a thing about such an iconic and a legendary rock n roll tune!!!!!! so, go listen to the jonas bros and hannah montana, u'll probably like them more and in the meantime, please stop commenting on these great rock n roll videos, rock is not for u my friend and thank u for taking the time to read this!!!!!!

  • What is the purpose of singing a song about his generation? Why are they smashing up their musical instruments? All this silly music has done is create a gap between young and old, when there never was one before. Just stop and listen to the lyrics of all this crap before you just swallow it like all the rest of the lemmings do.

  • first of all, i've read the lyrics probably a million times because i'm a huge who fan and ur not, u probably like lyrics made by the jonas bros and miley fucking cyrus!!!!!! secondly, this is not crap, this is an oldie which rocks and the oldies are much better than what we have today, what we have today is not even music, it's crap, so, that is crap, my friend, rock music is about creating a gap, it's about going against the rules and about rebellion and agression!!!!!!

  • now, if u can't handle that, rock is not for u but that gives u no right to disrespect this kind of music, go listen to shitty music like some modern rap crap, fucking asshole!!!!!!

  • Why would people want to go against the rules of a law abiding country? Why do you need music to cause rebellion and aggression? All modern music has brought society is drugs, crime, suicide, juvenile delinquency and many other vices and ill.

  • i'm not talking about modern music, i'm talking about good classic rock music like this, i'm talking about the golden age of rock n roll, those were the good days where ppl had nothing but fun, sex, drugs and rock n roll was all about having fun, modern music is crappy!!!!!!

  • Modern music is anything from 1950's onwards. Taking drugs has fucked our world up and is not funny.

  • anyone with a sensible brain considers modern music that is popular today, u can't call elvis presley and chuck berry modern music and they would honestly hate to be a part of today's music because when they made music, music actually meant something, the jonas bros and hannah montana mean nothing but a load of bullshit and crap!!!!!!

  • listen to songs like long live rock which prove that rock n roll will never die no matter how much people appreciate crap like miley fucking cyrus and the jonas fucking bros!!!!!!

  • I've never heard of the two singers you mention. Smashing guitars on stage is childish and idiotic. Pushing drugs via rock music is not a good idea for any society.

  • u've never heard of elvis presley and chuck berry?????? were u born on earth or mars?????? holy shit, even the modern emo kinds who like shitty music have at least heard of these two legendary rockstars, do u come from a country where they don't listen to western rock at all because almost the whole world knows elvis, probably even africa knows him!!!!!!

  • You never mentioned Elvis o rChuck Berry.

  • yes i did, read my comments more carefully, pay more attention!!!!!!

  • u can't call legendary bands like this childish garbage, childish garbage are the jonas bros and hannah montana, so, u would even call legendary artists like elvis and chuck berry childish garbage, wouldn't u?

  • You don't really know what you talking about , do you ?

  • they entertain their millions of fans

    that is the point

  • that..and they are The effing Who..agreed

  • dude if i had a shitload of money i would buy a bunch of guitars and break the fucking wall with them it would be so fucking fun but since im not rich im not riskin my guitars for that

  • Yes, but why are they breaking them? Please answer the question.

  • It depends on who do you ask. According to Pete Townshend, (the guitarist) he was inspired by Gustav Metzger's concept of Auto-Destructive Art and Roger Daltrey (the vocalist) says it was all about attracting attention.

  • Yes, but still silly and childish. This nonsense only came on the scene with the advent of modern music (1950's onwards).

  • they think its fun the audience gets pumped and they love to rebel

  • They think it's fun? What a silly excuse/reason to act like little kids. Our world is being dragged down to that of children by idiots like these.

  • ok look to me it seems fun and it could be to them but if you dont like it fine you dont have to listen to them

  • listen.....breaking your instrument in stage is nothing compare to what retards do at mosh pits......now that stuff is for retards

  • Yes. But that still does not justify this childish behaviour.

  • maqn its not childish tey just did that becouse they were ain a middle of a world war aproching becouse of the sovietic union vs eua in the middle of this crissys theyd brake theire instruments as a form of crtissizing war ad opression,its like a stiffled scream of freedom

  • because they attrected the fans with breaking insturments... but ist started as a coincidence

  • Take a look at "Who Art you" video on youtube you'll get it then.

  • I do belive that they were trying to take Gustav Metzger's concept of Auto-Destructive Art and apply it to popular music

  • May be? But it's still rather childish and silly

  • Well childish or not its still a art theory. Although to be fair I doubt any modern bands that do it today are referencing Gustav Metzger, just trying to look cool.

  • try to appreciate the good ol' days of rock n roll instead of hating it, sad thing it's not mainstream anymore, today's mainstream music sucks ass!!!!!!! seriously miley cyrus should consider jumping off the eiffel tower to do us all a favor!!!!!! BRING BACK THE GOOD OL', CLASSIC, GOLDEN AND LEGENDARY DAYS OF ROCK N ROLL AND ROCK ON PEOPLE!!!!!!

  • take it easy, I love John too but I'm not about to cuss out the guy that took time to make this video just to have you up his ass

  • I love the song and i love the band.

    BUT THIS VIDEO MONTAGE IS FUCKING DISGRACEFUL.

    Dint get me wrong i think it is well put together, i think all the shots of Roger, Pete and Keith were wasome.

    But what makes this vid disgraceful is that, THERE ARE HARDLY ANY SHOTS OF JOHN (THE OX) ENTWISTLE.

    HES ONLY THE GREATEST FUCKING BASS PLAYER OF ALL TIME and you casted him aside

    Fuck whoever made horrid video.

  • dude the ox is showed quite a few times in this video, especially during his bass solo, just fucking chill out!!!!!!

  • Ye thats my point, he may be shown a few times but NO WHERE FUCKING NEAR HOW MANY TIMES PETE AND KEITH ARE SHOWN.how fucked up is that.

    Look im sorry bout my out bursts its just that The Ox is my hero, he is really special to me and just to see him cast aside just sickens me.

  • yea i guess that's true

  • don't get me wrong, the ox is my hero too and i'm probably an ox-most who fan

  • Dosent it just make your blood start bubbling when you just see a vid like this,

    An amazing band

    An amazing song.

    BUT THEY DONT TREAT ALL OF THE MEMBERS WITH THE SAME RESPECT, and they just cast one aside, and that one is the thing who made the band who they were.

    Sorry mate but ithis vid is just criminal, dont you John deserves better than this.

    I know you probably think im crazy, but im not, im just passionate about my hero.

    Soyy bout some bad spelling.

  • i totally agree with u, in the woodstock performance, they hardly show john, focusing a lot on the other 3 members, at the monterey pop festival, even during john's bass solo in my generation, the camera focuses on keith moon getting his sleeves up and getting ready to drum, and i was like, come on, gimme a fucking break!!!!!! but, in the 70's, they started showing john a little more, especially during the videos of baba o' riley and won't get fooled again

  • in the amsterdam performance of my generation, the camera actually focused on john during his bass solo and i was like finally, they did something right and i guess, the reason for that is camera work was really bad in the 60's and it started to get better in the 70's, because from 70's onward until his death in 2002, they showed him a lot more often than they did in the 60's

  • Why did you think the camera avoided him.

  • well, i think i heard from someone once that john chose not to be filmed for a specific performance, and i don't know if that applies to all the performances that avoided him

  • Im sorry mate but i know that is bull shit, why do you think that he began to wear the skelinton outfit.

    THE ONLY REASON HE DID WHERE IT WAS BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE NOTICED..

  • i don't really know about that because i know for a fact that john entwistle chose not to be filmed for a lot of who concerts

  • was this band more in the sevendies or 60s?

  • They peaked around the early seventies, or so I've heard.

  • the who started in the early 60's during the british invasion period, they were formed in 1964, however they released some of their best work both in the 60's and 70's, this song itself is from 1965

  • cool

  • yes it is very cool haha, the who are cool, all 4 members were really cool in their own and unique ways!!!!!!

  • Freakin Moonie at 0:58, is classic lol. there's nothing that man couldn't turn into a joke. where ever he is, it's a more interesting place because of him:-) LONG LIVE ROCK, BE IT DEAD OR ALIVE!

  • rip keith moon best drummer...

  • i think a lot of the younger generation is listening to a lot of the older rock stuff like the who and led zeppelin and kiss and jimmy ect. and i think its a great thing its a lot better than the new music thats coming out :)

  • Agreed. I'm 13, ok. Gaga, or whatever her name is... she can go to hell! Nothing will ever beat the who,led zeppelin ,kiss, and David Bowie put together!

  • Sorry, Borgir.

  • Re: Dimmo Borgirs....yes, it's good, but mostly theatre. Nothing wrong with that. (Coop did it, too.) But the test is when you close your eyes. Does it still hold up? Yes, I wanna breathe in the orchestrals! The voice gets monotonous, though, imho.

  • This is my favorite who song

  • Wow!! What a great video. :D

    And epic song, of course! ^^

  • Th-that's... nice...

    Though everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When I think of the greatest and most creative music, my heart goes back to the 50's and 60's.~

    It's just an opinion thing. :)

  • I agree 100 percent man, nothing beats the 50s and 60s!

  • It's epic in it's flamboyance and flat out assault on the ears. It's like an orchestra of chaos which the Who always were at least when they had Moonie. It's also held up well over the last 43 years to boot. Now that's epic!

  • Yeah I know, I just think certain elements of Dimmu Borgirs music is amazing... The composing of "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" by Mustis is a remarkable acomplishment...

  • that sounds a bit out of my league as far as music appreciation goes. although i go pretty far across the board. I mean there's epic in terms of Miles Davis and then there's epic in terms of the Beatles. Classical music is still a bit out of my reach so i can't really critique it as such.

  • When times are bad everyone looks back and nobody ahead.

  • god roger has a great voice!

  • good vido good song

  • this is epic

  • i agree, this is real music, greenday is for dickfuck teenagers that dont know what real life/music/hardships are.

  • I agree completely and I was born in '90.

    I swear, I was born into the wrong time!

  • same here,

    we need to invent a time machine

  • if u like green day fuck off that musics for homos anyways

  • omg me too! isnt there new album called "21st century breakdown?

  • The Who are so talented and tight, Love this song!!!

  • um what. this is classic. green da is like my favorite band and i have everyone of there albums except for the new on that comes out sometime this month

  • how?

  • FUCK YOU!!!!

  • im young and i like this version better so fuck off

    arielrebelfan1

  • wanna fight pussy for not replying instead commenting above me

    thats pussy move

  • hey fuck you i did reply you dumbass

  • eat a dick kristingonda (its what all you young shits do anyway)

  • Liked the way John plays the bass. He might have invented speed bass.

  • im doing this for open mic night at the library

    and sympathy for the devil

  • Entwistle looked so badass, when he played. He was really chill and made everything look so easy.

  • good job. i always thought this band had a unique sense of music. blowing stuff up. sweet. i love how keith moon in another video on smothers brothers comedy hour blows up his bass drum. mad pete 90% def in one of his ears

  • john is always going like, "ok... play along.." BOOM! and then the stage explodes..

  • The early mid-sixties footage is so absolutely GO!

    The Conductor Of The Groovy Juice Symphony.

  • I wonder how much all of the vintage double bass sets and amps and guitars that they wasted were worth! haha long live the most revolutionary band of all time.

  • John's the best!

  • keith moon owns!!!!!!!

  • That's what their trademark is, being explosive on stage and with their music. So what if it cost a little bit of money.

  • i dont hope i die before get old lol

  • its I hope i die before i get old lol

  • thts the one thx :-b

  • theeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • Moon on those drums man, awesome..

  • the best song by the who!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • You don't and wouldnt see many bands destroy their guitars like this anymore!

  • i know. jimi hendrix was the first person ive seen burn his guitar

  • first and last, it seems.

  • which version is this one?

  • probably the recording that's on the album My Generation - The Very Best of The Who

  • i listen to pink floyd, LED ZEPPELIN, the jimi hendrix experience, marvin gaye, bb king

  • FUNNY GOOD

  • let's have some fish and chips

  • this was the best song from the who

  • They did 5 million dollars worth of damage from their instruments and equipment. Poor guitars... never saw it comin'.

  • Way ahead of their time.

  • When I was growing up in the 60's there was no band, anywhere, that could touch The Who. They were simply awesome and their songs have stood the test of time among the crap that passes for 'rock' these days.

  • Right on man!!! I fucking hear you!! todays music just sucks whale balls!

  • agreed, older music had class, todays music the musicians just do it for the fame and money and girls

  • hey man, the who is awesome, but you're forgetting aout the beatles. i'd say that they were probably even better than the who. but you are right about their music standing the test of time. everything that comes out nowadays is crap.

  • the beatles were good but neither were better in the beggining the beatles were more of a boy band than a rock band the rock didnt really start till later i like both kinds of beatles but the who were always the rock and some consider them the first of punk rock they were both decades ahead of their time and todays music is horrible im 15 and im enjoying music from decades ago, what does that say about it? some kids cant even remember what was popular a month ago, disgusting really.

  • Oh my god!!! this was awesome!!!

  • this is an amazing song!!!!! i really like the bass part!

  • the stuttering is kinda annoying, still great song,

  • I wish kids would listen to awesome songs like this rather than the Jonas Brothers.

  • im 12 and i do. JB SUCK they seriously dont have any talent

  • JB?

  • Jonas Brothers

  • Yeah, they really suck..

    Well, I'm 15, and also a great fan of bands like The Who, Queen, Dire Straits, Deep Purple and bands like that

  • same here.. if you look at my channel you'll see how much i like classic rock

  • rock on guys!(:

  • haha yeah. thats all my friends listen to. the jonas brothers...they are NOT good. i bet my friends dont even know that the who exists. x]

  • i beleive im one of the few majority of kids that listen's to all kind's of music apart from emo/screemo not into that atal.

  • At the moment yes but the mods are growing again.

  • your not the only on haha i listen to this also and screamo

  • Entwistle is fing amazing on this. nobody else can play that as good, I swear. aw, keith moon. we need people as crazy and brilliant and crazy brilliant as you.
