  • It was proved by police forensice he did not download even 1 photo.The anti-abuse charities he has worked for & help start up, supported his integrity in court. Stop making him out to be something more sinister .

  • Absolutely stunning guitar playing....One of the greatest, is our Pete....

  • Now Townshend is at the centre of a police investigation into British users of US-based pay-to-view child pornography sites. The millionaire rock star has admitted paying to access one of the websites but has claimed he did so "purely to see what was there".

    If you can repeat this comment after listening to Young Man's Blues from Live at Leeds at full volume, then you might need therapy.

  • LEGEND

  • @SKINmodHEAD lol at a 15 year old beeing a better strummer than Townshend

  • @SKINmodHEAD, he is a great guitarist!

    Plays a flamenco style guitar that has never been seen in rock before. He is original and that is what rock is all about, not who can play technically the best. Those guitarists are a dime a dozen and never stand out or write anything worth remembering.

    Doubt your 15 year cousin can play and strum like Pete and have his passion or taslent for music or lyrics.

  • i love the who solo stuff but ijus dont get why so many silly musicals i meen wats it all about,reg phyco derelict@white city and all i dont get i wonder if petes a freemason i mean unless u follow dees guys from dee start then u get what there saying now,or simply im dumb but dee endless nonsense recent stuff was boring@miserable i mean wats wid alldee silly moosicals plees help,wats it all about alfie?

  • The overall skill of a musician is to complement his fellow band members to allow for great music. Therefore Pete is a very good guitarist. Pete also did some amazing acoustic work which is easy to overlook. The lead versus rhythm talk is ludicrous. You don't need to be ripping off runs to be a lead guitarist.. Unbelievable songwriter, great vocals, good guitarist, and his solo albums are so good they rival some of the Who's stuff. Pete is the very definition of a Rock Legend.

  • This acoustic guitar is cool!!

  • Pete was a great writer, but in his own words he picked Ray Davies as the best song writer.

  • Did some idiot just say that Peter Green was a beter songwriter? Thats laughable. Must be a German.
