Pete has always had the reputation of being hot tempered and unreasonable to work with,but it seems to me after all these years that he was the one who kept them all together until shortly after Keith passed away.He seems more than willing to adopt his playing here to give John the spot light and that is admirable.The result is very "weird" but unique,fantastic!
I believe, that as showcased in Behind Blue Eyes, Pete is this sensible genius who found emotional consolation for his childhood trauma in songwriting. Before I Can't Explain The Who was Roger's band, but as soon as the band manager, Kit Lambert, found that Pete was a talented songwriter he started to preassure him in coming with the band's new material. So in that regard there are two aspects to consider, one, that as soon as Pete found that John Entwistle could also write, he trusted him with filling the track lists when he felt artistically crushed (Cousin Kevin and Fiddle About being the best examples) and second, that he was the last memeber of the Who to make a solo album, because all of his focus was into writing songs for the band. He carried the band for two whole decades, that's why I'm ok with him keeping his best 80's for his solo albums while leaving the leftovers for the mediocre Face Dances and It's Hard albums.
John once said of Keith - "Keith Moon plays music to fall downstairs to." ROFLMAO! As a drummer, I can honestly say that's totally true :-) It's what made him so unique and great. Who are the 40 people who disliked this? They either have to be music snobs with no sense of humor or Justin Bieber fans... I loved this song as a kid and still do.
Keith Moon has always been my favorite rock drummer, but there are very few bands other than The Who that could have handled his manic drumming. In The Who he added extra energy without savaging the songs.
@@anthonygerace8926 He was part of the songs, they would have been very different without him, look what happened after he died. They were ALL crucial to the band.
Keith always reminded me of Gene Krupa. Ofc I'm sure he was an influence! I loved Keith so much. So spooky that on the last lp before he died he was sitting on a chair that said "Not To Be Taken Away". Then he left. Awesome drummer but he couldn't keep time! Always had a click track or Pete's guitar as a guide. Hilarious, I adored him, the loon! ❤
Romour has it a very pre-eminent psychiatrist once did. He's been in a high security asylum now for some years shouting 'COBWEBS' out loud on random occasions?!
My dad played this all the time to me too, and I am in no way scared of spiders. 🤣 Apparently it depends on how you witnessed your parents (or other people) react to spiders when you were very small.
@@Jeff-ok6dr it's all about attitude and imagination. Just imagine they are going about their day, places to go and people(spiders) to see and they are far more scared of us, hence why they go still sometimes and they seem to know we are aware of them, Never ever kill them!
you're right! the ox wrote such wonderful songs! I love them all (boris, whiskey man, silas stingy, medac, fiddle about, heaven and hell, my wife, success story, 905, the quiet one and all the others) HE'S THE BEST BASSIST EVER! ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING SONGWRITERS EVER! HE'S ROCK'N'ROLL! HE'S EVERYTHING! RIP JOHN
Yes, John was the only member of The Who who had any formal musical training prior to joining the band. And as Pete pointed out in the Ox's Tale documentary tribute to John, John transferred his style of playing brass instruments to playing the electric bass the same way in terms of the fingering technique that John so eloquently exhibited.
The best bass player and best drummer in rock, with a guitar player and lead singer were were among the best. The fact that they (like The Beatles) got together as teenagers is just amazing.
@anthonygerace8926 I would say Paul plays equally well, just with a different approach. It IS amazing ALL the bands that got together in their teens and achieved fame in the 60s. Stones. Kinks. The Pink Floyd *with Syd. The Airplane. Byrds. On and on. And then garage bands around the world! Fantastic. 🎉What a time to be alive.
This songs makes me laugh so much. When he does the chorus in the deep voice, i imagine its everyones irrational fear of spiders and all logic is thrown out the window.
When I was 10 years old I used to babysit for my neighbors. He was navy (this was CA near Moffett field) anyway, before I left one day, the dad found out i liked Pete Townsend and he asked me if Id ever heard any of his old stuff. Well, being 10, I said that I hadn't and on came Happy Jack. I was glued...transfixed and in love with a band I didnt know. Then he said "oh if you like that..." And on came Boris. I have yet, to this day, hear a song that literally altered my life as much as that song did. It made me the Odd One that I am today. Thank you so much Keith and Pete. I'll love y'all fureverrrr.
I did a Coverversion of this GREAT Song in German, called "Doris die Spinne". I guess it's the only Cover in German. Allways Loved The WHO! Greetings from Germany, O
LOL Keith was the funniest person you could ever meet, "A very weird person, one of the most evilest freaks I've ever met..... Thanks John Thanks a hell of a lot. Hahahaha and I practically stumbled on this song not long ago, and this song sounds really cool, Its amazing discovering hidden secrets in your favourite bands, I never knew half these side albums......
The Ox sounds like Ozzie and Geezer, before there was a Black Sabbath. Also, Keith turned down Jimmy Page who went with his second choice, homey John Bonham. So this is pretty much the birth of metal.
The off-beat shuffle drums after the first chorus line on the studio version are genius. This could only have been written by one of the best of bass players in close collaboration with one of the superlative drummers. Hence, Moon's sarcastic protestations. Horror lyrics and undulating octaves create the atmosphere. Also at 1:49 / 1:50 Boris shows his presence on John's shoulder :). Just FTW.
@@zeitok8 I know I thought pink floyd where original having a kazoo solo in there song, when actual I hadn’t even dived into the mother’s of invention yet 😂
"Boris the Spider" was written after Entwistle had been out drinking with the Rolling Stones' bass guitarist, Bill Wyman. They were making up funny names for animals when Entwistle came up with "Boris the Spider".

Is it Keith though as might be post-78 after his death and doesn't look like him on the drums?
Ah could be him but his hair looks different.

Townshend is like the straight man for the lunatic Moon.
@@gaskellr44 it IS Moon, no question about it
I believe this is the very first metal growl in music history.
Yes that's what Alice Cooper said too
I've always thought this, liked this as a small child and then drawn into metal later on
All those years of being underappreciated built up a rage.
P.s. I'm not being sarcastic. It's just a literal statement.
How he plays the bass has been echoed in metal as well. It reminds me of a slower version of the style Ace of Spades opens with.

I’m gonna make this my senior quote
John is a hellriser, icon.
I actually heard Keith better than Pete. 😂
The original lineup of The Who is best for sure. R.I.P. Keith and John. ROCK ON!!!!!
MrMegaFredZeppelin yes the best
Doug sandom was the orginal drummer who joined the group when they were called the detours and was the drummer when they changed thier name.
Best duo ever
To me, it's their only true lineup. But I'm a snobby purist.
Where was roger daltrey?
Moon heckling Entwhistle during the intro is absolutely hilarious.
Yep
Entwistle was the quiet one...probably some truth to Keith's saying he was weird...the quiet ones are, usually. I love both Moon & Entwistle. ❤
John really did have a good singing voice.
Pete "this song is written by John Entwhistle" Keith "Boooooooo" XD
+Luca Savino moon was jealous. he was nothing without the band
Moon wasn't jealous at Entwistle at all. He was just joking around. As always.
Luca Savino i
He liked John a lot it was more between him and Roger and in a way u are correct but Keith had a lot of friends in the music industry
Moonie and JAE were BFF'S Offstage.

He's embedded in the ground
Boris the spider

Perfect for Halloween .
Ah, what to do when your heckler is also your drummer?
'Boris the johnson' ('sung-to-the-tune-of' of 'Boris the spider')
[Note: "Johnson" is common 1850s-1990s slang for 'penis'.]
Look, he's driving me up the wall
Messed up hair, very small
Now he's in over his head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the johnson
Boris the johnson
Now he's plopped another deplore
Heading for the Commons' door
Doesn't care any degree
Soon be gone now, bloody flea
Boris the johnson
Boris the johnson
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
In the garden having a ball
Doesn't have a clue at all
His hair is shed, all over the floor
Doesn't show on the Commons floor
Boris the johnson
Boris the johnson
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
He's heading for a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's headed to be uncrowned
Boris the johnson
Boris the johnson
uno de los primeros Growls :v
What a crazy idea to write a song about a spider-unless it's meant the car- but this is the kind of ideas a genius has
You rock you do
The Who are timeless.
happy birthday john!
JOHN
wtf never thought death growls had evet been used in rock \m/
hubert gagné They were the first to actually use growls in music overally.
hubert gagné Come on man. Pink Floyd did it almost 50 ys ago too.
Death'n'roll and death rock are the genres for you
Nekros97 Mongolian throat singers did it first
there is evidence that the vikings used death growls in their music.
The glue of da Who! Cupholders: classy, man
Great tune!
0:59 my favorite part,he does the metal growl which made other metalheads do that!
Love this song my fav ox song
I love Ox' humour!
And I love how he can't sing the "R" alsways singing "fwlend" (also in whiskey man)
In the end :D
John: Thank you, thank you
Keith: Thank you John! Thank you for...? I didn't get that :(
I think he says "Thanks a hell of a lot... "
Where's He Gone Now, I Can't See .@TheWho
