    Coming from a Hip Hop world, your ears are trained to find that dope part, and put it on repeat and leave it going. But rock songwriting from this era was all about dynamics and having contrast. The reason that the verse section you like so much can hit as hard as it does, is because the chorus lulls you into relaxing, before smacking you in the head again. Dynamics, contrast, light and dark, loud and quiet, etc…

    As the story goes, Pete (Townsend, lead guitarist and musical genius) was out drinking with 2 members of the Sex Pistols, got into a fight, got thrown out, passed out in a "Soho Doorway", woke up when a cop found him and recognized who he was, and told him he could go home if he could just walk away.
    That intro that bugged Ryan so much was in there because Pete had just discovered the electronic synthesizer and loved doing cool stuff on it (As in Baba O'Reily).

    • @calkelpdiver
      @calkelpdiver 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      Townsend had used synthesizers a lot before the Who Are You album came out in 1978. He used them on Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Who's Next in late 60's/early 70's. For Baba O'Reilly it was a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 model organ, which sounded like a Moog synthesizer.
      This album is Keith Moon's last before he passed away. Some of his best drumming is on "Who are You" the song itself.

    This song is based on a day in the life of Pete Townshend. It began with a very long meeting dealing with royalties for his songs: "Eleven hours in the Tin Pan, God, there's got to be another way." The "Tin Pan" he is referring to is "Tin Pan Alley" which is the name given to the collection of New York City-centered music publishers and songwriters who dominated the popular music of the United States. After this excruciating meeting he received a large check for royalties, left and went to a bar and got completely drunk. In that bar he encountered Paul Cook and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols, who thought very highly of Pete for paving the way for Punk rock music. Townshend was conflicted because he feared The Who had sold out, and seeing The Sex Pistols, who were icons of rebellion, exasperated him even more. Pete left that bar and passed out in a random doorway in Soho (a part of New York). A policeman recognized him ("A policeman knew my name") and being kind, woke him and and told him, "You can go sleep at home tonight (instead of a jail cell), if you can get up and walk away." Pete's response: "Who the f--k are you?"

    Who Are You is my favorite Who song. I love the entire song. Even the part Ryan didn't like. 😁
    Its all layers. And it all flows together.

    Love the story, that when they were recording the track they had to stop when roger swore. They said to him you can’t do that, so he said ‘sorry yeah won’t do that again’. After more than 20 takes of trying to get him to stop swearing, they said screw it and left it in :)

    This was the intro song to the TV show "CSI" and was in a bunch of ads for the show. That's why everyone has heard the beginning of it. I love The Who. Their live recordings hit so much harder than the studio versions. But for an album song you haven't done yet, "Love Reign O'er Me" is one of my favorite songs of all time. That would be a great one for you guys to do.

    The intro is like their earlier '60's British Invasion sound then it crashes into late '70's hard rock perfection, hard rock in that era had a great sense of groove and cadence, the '80's came and kind of streamlined that out with more 4/4 style rock, this coming in late '78 became like a high water mark for '70s rock.

    The drumming on this is fireee. That last fill that George loved hit harder cause he played it in triplets, which is another trick to play with the rhythm without changing the tempo, next to going in half time.
    Anyway, guys, check out Dirty Loops - Rock You. These dudes are heavily cosigned by QUINCY JONES, shit's funky and groovy as hell.

    Wow a lot to unpack from that reaction. As a white early 60's aged guy raised on classic rock I did enjoy the reaction gentlemen. I most enjoyed your comments on how you grew up and the differences we all experience in music, life, etc. I think when music was released (the year) is very important in regards to your experience hearing it. The tunes stay the same forever. The times we live in are constantly changing. The who released this LP twelve days before my 18th birthday. This Who album was ok in my book back then but not like most of the iconic albums before it. As a song "Who Are You" was an absolute mind blower back then. An absolute masterpiece that grabbed you and rocked your ass hard. For all of us back then we didn't know what was about to happen to the band. Less than 30 days after this album was released Keith Moon was dead. In my opinion it was the end of The Who I had grown up with. Unlike Led Zeppelin who called it quits just after John Bonham passed just two years later. The Who kept playing. Here's an rock folklore fact. Take a look at the cover of the Who Are You album. Find Keith Moon and see what's printed on the chair he's sitting on. Crazy shit. Keith's drumming is legendary. One last note on this song which carries heavy weight with me is how this song inspired someone very special and dear in my life back in the early 90's. That person had a real serious problem with drugs & alcohol. One day while driving in their car the "Who Are You" tune started playing on their radio. It made them really think about who they really were. So much so that they decided right then and there they were going to change their life. So they got help and completely beat all their addictions and went on to be a wonderful parent and human being still to this day. RIP Keith & John 🙏🩶

  • @mikenagoda
    @mikenagoda 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The pattern that Keith Moon is playing on the hi hat during the intro (the after school special part) sounds simple, but it's harder to play than it sounds. It requires a good solid foundation of technique - the falsetto vocals are also difficult to sing on key. My favorite Who song!

  • @THEDEEPDIVE

    A couple things to remember about Pete Townshend’s:
    1) So many of his songs - from the album Tommy in 1969, onwards - have a layer of subtext in regard to Meher Baba, his guru. I don’t fully understand it, but that whole “my heart is an open cup / I only feel right on my knees” part is the seeker/spiritual aspect of this song.
    2) The other thing is that Townshend has always seen his songwriting as something he does in service to others: to the audience, he gives a reflection of themselves…to Daltrey, he gives him a vocal part to sound tough….to Entwistle, room enough for him to maneuver…to Moon, the beginnings of a drum part got him to let loose on.
