Rock N’ Roll Super Group
It’s so obvious it should have happened 10 years ago. The
remaining members of The Beatles and The Who should unite to form the best Rock
N’ Roll Super Group ever made. How would this work you ask? Simple, Paul
McCartney on bass, Ringo on drums, Pete Townsend on guitar and Roger Daltry on
guitar (I think he can play the guitar). McCartney and Ringo fill in for
the late John Entwhistle and Keith Moon. Daltry and Townsend fill in for
the late John Lennon and George Harrison.
They are each missing their key performers for their respective
bands that they were met to unite and tour as The Whootles. Imagine
Daltry belting out Twist n Shout or McCartney singing The Song is Over.
The only reason it will never happen is McCartney doesn’t need the money and he
sells out stadiums just fine as a solo act.
Having seen both McCartney and The Who live, their performances
differed quite a bit. A McCartney concert might be borderline creepy to some. He
runs out in these bright colored suits and does a bunch of gimmicky old man
rock moves that are older than he is but that’s his schtick. It’s
all tongue and cheek and rather fun. It would be contrived as creepy if
he was serious about this hems, haws, and hip thrusts. The Who is the
same now as they are in the 70s. It’s the same microphone tosses and
guitar circle whammy things but in an old man mellow way. Sadly they
don’t wreck the stage anymore because they’d likely break a hip.
So separate they are a bunch of old dudes that are recycling
timeless old practices we still love. Together they are a rock power
house sewing the best must talent of the 60s and 70s into gold.
