When I saw the High Numbers in Glasgow they were totally unknown and second bottom of a long bill topped by Lulu. As they came out wolf whistling started from lads in the audience who had not seen the London fashion of the mods before. The band then slew everybody on the bill with a briliant aggressive performance of r&b songs. At the end Keith kicked his drums over. I was a Who fan ever since.
@@JeffK.As a musician, my point of view is that of a musician & not based on personal preference.The electric, bass guitar, is quite a new instrument in the world of guitars & there are stand out bassists, some of which came out of the 1960's. These bassists have usually had music lessons in other instruments as children & have gone on to become gifted bassists, each one bringing their own individually, flair & taste into play. John's father was a trumpeter & John Entwhistle was taught the French Horn/Horns as a child & he was a mean player. Like his bass counterparts, Jack Bruce, who attended R.C.M. studying cello & Paul MacCartney, who had piano lessons, John was capable of notating his compositions & bass guitar was the second instrument he excelled on.
What a chap, filmed at his house in Stowe on the Wold just down the road from me, a beautiful old place that still looks like this, John smoked like a chimney and consumed a lot of drink and drugs during his lifetime, I think he did very well to live as long as he did, although he did look a lot older than his years (he was just 42 here) but then if your best mate was Keith Moon you would too, Interesting that he and in Particular Pete Townsend didnt get on at all and hardly talked during the later years. Always had a lot of love for John, loved the way whilst all the other band members were breaking up all their gear, John would calmly walk off the stage and hand his guitar to the guitar tech.
He was definitely a unique individual. One of my favorite bassists and singers. I love his introverted personality and dark humor. Reminds me of myself.
A very calm, considerate and affable guy. I'm impressed and inspired. At 6 feet tall, he was hardly short (as he says), but maybe compared to the others.
My dad's around the same age and was a London mod. He's 5'9" and jokes about how he was called lanky by his family because everyone was shorter back then.
@@WorldCupWillieCool. Did he have a GS Scooter? ). I'd have a ton of questions for your Dad about growing up in that era. I would have chosen that path as well if it was the thing in my youth. Not many in the States even know the term Mod.
@@nikhailarumoogum2582 Sure, but take a look at old school photos from the 70s or even 80s, and the students all look 15 years older than people of a similar age today. It's a well-known phenomenon that people in general look younger and younger for each passing generation. And it's not all because of a healthier lifestyle.
The ox was a superb musician in a superb band. Just got on with performing in his unique way, and away from the music he certainly lived the rocknroll lifestyle and as sad as it was when he passed away he certainly left this earth in a blaize of glory. Legend.😇
21:21 A question which is not about clothes! 25:47 "Let's talk a little bit about the new album if you don't mind." The only album Mr. Entwistle released in the 80s was 'Too Late The Hero' in 1981… it's tantalising to hear him talking about another solo album that was in the works.… it was eventually released in 1996 as The Rock, ten years after it was recorded and eight years after the tour.
I wish all his albums would be re-released. The new compilation they released recently is good but not enough for me. TH-cam quality of full albums are nice but...
I bet the interviewer was working for a fashion magazine or something similar. I'm definitely way more into the music than the fashion of rock and roll, but the two do go hand in hand, as John says in this interview. Kind of cool to hear a different type of interview. Also, being that he brings up Duran Duran multiple times, it seems he was a fan -- which is interesting, although I guess not that surprising.
@@maxieboy1232 I loved him and he did the first Hot Licks video for me that wasn't ME! Haha. We also spent great times in London and he performed with me at a Namm Show, which was fantastic!
Arlen Roth That is such a cool story and it’s awesome that you had a friend who was an absolute legend and also sounds like an awesome friend. RIP John and love long rock and roll
Normal folks live in a row or town or house. John lived in a fucking CASTLE! Rock n Roll, is dying at too fast a rate these days. I hate getting old..........
i finally found the answer to his boots, i've always wanted them edit : still can't find the exact one, i guess it was custom made, saw a few of them in auctions though, and it's the best heeled boots I've ever seen in my entire life.. I'll have a custom one made that looks like his..
I'm guessing this was for a fashion magazine or something fashion oriented, otherwise I can't imagine why there'd be so many questions about clothes. I really enjoy that though, it gives a different kind of look at the band back then and also the culture. Also I genuinely love John's outfits.
I can't imagine a person interviewing a famous clothing designer and only asking about how the clothing designer plays the bass guitar. Seriously. Interviewing one of the great bassists of all time, and all she asks is about clothes?
The thing about the WHO is that they all come across as down to earth unassuming blokes. A friend lives next door to Roger Daltrey and he can confirm that in the case of him.
He always reputed to be boisterous and a big party guy although you would never know it on a stage or in an interview. I feel sad for him, for all his riches, he seemed empty.
The sound levels are not properly balanced with the interviewer sounding far too quite and distant, while he sounds louder. I have to turn up the sound to hear what she's saying, which is too loud for his voice.
I had a ton of respect for this dude before the interview, I am amazed at his patience , if someone asked me that many fashion questions I would have gone nuts, I am guessing it is a topic he likes to discuss
+David monastary9 John was a style icon, by far the best dressed of The Who. There's a lot of interviews with him about music, this one focuses more on gear, fair enough...
except in his case it was a bit outsized, the sleeves looked massive😂 and btw it was true, Roger wore a white 3 button jacket, with the point collar n pin, and white shoes, Pete wore a similar white jacket (although in another pic he was wearing a tartan one) with Levi's jeans and those boxing boots, Keith wore a white jacket with t shirt, same bottoms n shoes as Pete's (John is wearing the same one except for shoes), John's jacket was navy blue. if you wanna look it up, search for the high numbers 1964 you'll see what i'm talking about here.
An interview with John, mostly about fashion. Are you kidding me? You can tell he is frustrated. Watch him Give the finger and blowing on his watch. Obviously the interviewer wasn't a good match for the King of Bass. We miss you OX. You were the master.
I think it is great. No one really ever asked him such question (at least since the Pop Art days). Most later Entwistle interviews were about typical stuff (Keith Moon stories, bass gear, favorite songs, etc.). I love this interview. He breaks down his fashion as a teen, Ted days, etc. Figures a woman would ask such non typic questions.
The interviewer was stuck in a groove about fashion ! She should've touched on fashion, but the main of the interview should've concentrated on his music & time with The Who. There was so much more to John Entwhistle than what he wore !
Georgio Armani suits or Saville Row the British led in making fashion statements. Carnaby Street and Edward Elgar composer conductor in Worcester. Hector Berlioz fantastique operetta among my favorite.
What a way to go. John Entwistle kisses his wife goodbye as he leaves his UK mansion to head to Las Vegas in advance of his US tour with the Who. John settles into his hotel room and calls a prostitute. Ingesting no telling how much cocaine and is found dead in his hotel room. The OX got Ox'd out.
Yeah...I'm the woman with John when he passed. NEVER WAS A prostitute!!! I knew him 13 years. The truth has been out there the whole time. It's right under your nose...that and the fact I sued Roger Daltrey for what you just said...so go watch the facts. Educate yourself. It's not only an insult to me, John would be angry about it as well. Sheesh...you people.
Not sure why the interviewer spent so mush time dwelling on their clothes style. She could have asked more interesting questions. No wonder you can’t find many interviews with John after this one.
His over sized suit reminds my of what Talking Heads frontman Byrne wore years later. As for that Sebastian story. I hope Townsend gave him a kicking as what a fake hippie man he was at Woodstock.
You interview the greatest bass guitarist of all time and you start off with fashion questions? Did the interviewer work for Cosmo? Terrible waste of his time. 21 minutes in before she asks a question NOT about clothes. Then MORE about clothes. She should go interview a fashion designer and spend four fifths of the interview asking them about bass guitar technique.

His voice sounds just as bassy outdoors as it does indoors.

Great story. Can't imagine what it must have been like to witness that.
One of the few and last times that Lulu was on top of the bill before the Who . She was done by 1965 relying on tv
The greatest bassist of all time
What about Jack Bruce of Cream ! Like John he was classically trained & great a virtuoso musician !
I'll repeat it for those who don't agree, regarding The Ox:
The greatest bassist of all time.

Man I love John Entwistle. The Fashion, the musicianship, the individuality. Although The Who were very much a band of unique individuals.

You live near Quarwood? Very cool!
He was definitely a unique individual. One of my favorite bassists and singers. I love his introverted personality and dark humor. Reminds me of myself.
oxtraordinary.
Really miss this guy! When I hear it thundering during storm, it reminds me of Entwhistle! Great player!
RIP John!
~ There's no "h" in Entwistle.
John has had a massive impact on my fashion influence. How I present myself in public.

He’s a bit of a peacock 🦚
He may have partied but he was ALWAYS well dressed. Even at home!
Did you wear skeleton jump suites ?

Favourite member in the Who - the Ox
This looks like a clip from Spinal Tap.
don't be so shallow harry
No it doesn't, although it is a bit crap that Entwistle is being interviewed by his girlfriend, Townshend was well in touch with the Mod scene.
It does
He Certainly New How to Dress, I Don't Think He Would Have Looked Right In A T shirt!! Love All His Solo albums.. 👍🍷
i finally found the answer to his boots, i've always wanted them
edit : still can't find the exact one, i guess it was custom made, saw a few of them in auctions though, and it's the best heeled boots I've ever seen in my entire life..
I'll have a custom one made that looks like his..
Interesting interview. Maybe too focussed on fashion and appearance, but...JE is such an interesting character, it's all good.
It's funny how he did wear leather suits in the 80s on solo gigs. Mr. Gene Vincent's influence was still strong.
I'm guessing this was for a fashion magazine or something fashion oriented, otherwise I can't imagine why there'd be so many questions about clothes. I really enjoy that though, it gives a different kind of look at the band back then and also the culture. Also I genuinely love John's outfits.
8:08 "the nose, where did i get that from". Haha, dry as fuck...
Wish he was talking about his bass collection.
Actually it was kind of cool to hear different stories. Damn, I miss him and those hands. Sounds like they were recording The Rock.
This is his estate he called home until he passed on.
What a lad
My lord look at that mansion

Talking to the greatest Bass Player in the world about clothes. ????? ✌️❤️

yeah i agree the man knew an insane amount of knowledge when it came to music
I consider him the best dressed in Rock. It's easy to tell he cares about his looks. But he was a handsome man.
His fashion sense didnt interfere with his bass playing, did it?
I imagine he knew what the interview was going to be about before it started...
What is a skating jacket?
I tried to find out, but Google thinks I'm referring to skate boarders.
i saw the pic he was talking about, i found out it's called a monkey jacket, the mods wore them a lot
except in his case it was a bit outsized, the sleeves looked massive😂
and btw it was true, Roger wore a white 3 button jacket, with the point collar n pin, and white shoes, Pete wore a similar white jacket (although in another pic he was wearing a tartan one) with Levi's jeans and those boxing boots, Keith wore a white jacket with t shirt, same bottoms n shoes as Pete's (John is wearing the same one except for shoes), John's jacket was navy blue.

John actually spent a lot of time deciding what to wear and he actually had good style in my opinion, rockstar through and through
Best dressed in Rock!
Pete said his habit was H. Harrod's.
At 14: 05 when rainbow colours were still only colours of a natural phenomenon in the sky.
clothes? he is very patient.
Who is sponsoring this interview. Somehow I think she works in the fashion industry.

Is this interview only about about hair and clothes?🤔
He looks (and sounds) high as a kite. Good old John...
A heavy cocaine and alcohol habit since the mid-1970s.
Why is "Unknown" in the title of this?
This is Quarwood Stowe on the wold
His sense of humour is so dry.... British sense of wit
Such much you could talk to him about and this is it? Guess it must be a fashion magazine but disappointing.

God all this interviewer thinks about is clothes.What about the music?
This is terrible, to be honest.
She only asks about clothes, what they were wearing... c'mon, there are more interesting things to be asked
Entwistle talks about clothes...how uninteresting.
You obviously don't know much about him, if that's your take on this.
Awful interview
