December 18, 200520 yr Author oh great one!I'll pass your comments onto Google, I couldn't have done it without it! I'll leave this one with you and then I'm off to bed! According to Pete Townshend of The Who, other than a car crash and serious illness, what was the only reason he has ever missed a Who gig?
December 19, 200520 yr Author In 1967 I took the great Eric Clapton to see this guy called Syd barrett and his band The Pink Floyd in London at the UFO Club :D C'mon, had to get back to Floyd somehow! Since I was so obscure, I'll pass the mantle to you.
December 22, 200520 yr You guys know this is going to go on forever don't you?.... :D (Rubbing palms together....) OK! Here we go! How did Pete Townsend get started smashing his guitar?
December 22, 200520 yr Author Let's let Pete answer that one! :D “I started to knock the guitar about a lot, hitting it on the amps to get banging noises and things like that and it had started to crack. It banged against the ceiling and smashed hole in the plaster and the guitar head actually poked through the ceiling plaster. When I brought it out the top of the neck was left behind. I couldn’t believe what had happened. There were a couple of people from art school I knew at the front of the stage and they were laughing their heads off. One of them was literally rolling about on the floor laughing and his girlfriend was kind of looking at me smirking, you know, going ‘flash c$%t and all that’. So I just got really angry and got what was left of the guitar and smashed it to smithereens. http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/equipment/gu...ip-smashed.html Ralph, if you want to butt in and set a question feel free, in the meantime, can I carry on?
