  • The Who were scheduled as the second to last act (before Jefferson Airplane) to play on Saturday, August 16th. When they actually started playing it was already Sunday morning around 5:00. They played their exceptional Tommy album, a Rock Opera dealing with the struggle of a deaf, dumb and blind boy who later finds a cure and gains stardom with his messianic movement. The finale of this performance took place during sunrise which occured at 6:05 am. __TOC__

  • The Who (pol. Kto) – brytyjski zespół rockowy, założony dawno, dawno temu, gdy twoich starych jeszcze na świecie nie było. Niektórzy twierdzą, że to najbardziej wpływowa grupa wszech czasów, ale i tak nikt o nich nie pamięta, choć nawet Żuczki nie były choćby w połowie tak zajebiste jak oni. Ich muzyka opiera się na perkusji, która rozsadza bębenki w uszach, perfekcyjnym basie, orgazmotwórczym wokalu i beznadziejnej gitarze, ale to szczegół. Znani z tego, że na koncertach rozpierdzielali instrumenty na drobne kawałki.
  • The Who waren anfangs Teil der Mod-Bewegung der 1960er. Sie waren härter als die Beatles und die Stones. Seit 1999 haben sie die Band ein wenig wiederbelebt. → Siehe auch The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind

  • The Who (detti anche Gli Who, o Gli Hù, o più semplicemente I Chi) sono un gruppo psychedelic-folk inglese, con chiare tendenze filo-nipponiche. Gli Ù sono composti da Peto "Pete" Townshend (chitarra e fabbricatore di penne per i testi), Roger Daltrey Cantey (voce bianca, tendente al verde), "Elton" John Entwistle (basso) e Keith "Non voglio mica la" Moon (batteria). Il gruppo è considerato uno dei migliori della musica Rock dalle loro madri. Gli Hù nella loro carriera hanno vinto: un buono sconto da Burger King, un rifornimento a vita di Yogurt Activia, una Coppa Italia e un giro gratis al luna park. In virtù di queste vittorie, I Chi sono stati inseriti nella Rock'N'Roll Al, ho fame!.
  • À la question, qui sont les Who ? la réponse est : Who sont les qui ! À l'origine les Who s'appelaient les Einstürzende Neubauten, si bien qu'à chaque fois qu'ils s'annonçaient sur scène, le public demandait : les qui? donc les Who , et non pas les où ? car tout ceci se passait en Angleterre et que, de plus, les musiciens étaient bien visibles (mais pas très connus).

  • The Who developed from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, "I Can't Explain", reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including "My Generation", "Substitute" and "Happy Jack". In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single "I Can See for Miles", while touring extensively. The group's fourth album, 1969's rock opera Tommy, included the single "Pinball Wizard" and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their succes
  • The Who are relatively new additions to the Barney Bunch. In 2016, new Speakonia Community member SavageBoy69Alt (now known in the community as SAVAGE GAYSHIT) introduced them into the Barney Bunch. The addition of the group, while later inspiring other members, such as TomServo3Alt and Life Or Death, to make videos with them, caused some debate, as Savage would constantly add more classic rock characters, mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, into his videos, notable ones being Tommy James And The Shondells and Led Zeppelin. Savage later deleted his Who videos and stopped making them.
  • The Who es una banda inglesa de rock formada en 1964. Originalmente se llamaba The Detours, aunque poco después adoptarían el nombre de The High Numbers para más adelante pasarse a llamar The Who. La banda nació en Londres, Inglaterra. La alineación "clásica" estaba compuesta por Roger Daltrey (voz), Pete Townshend (guitarra), John Entwistle (bajo) y Keith Moon (batería). Townshend era el principal compositor: escribió la mayor parte de las canciones de la banda y fue el responsable de los conceptos e historias de álbumes como Tommy y Quadrophenia y el proyecto Lifehouse. Entwistle también compuso una parte importante de las canciones de The Who, y fue responsable de algunos temas importantes de la banda, en los que cantó (Townshend solo cantaba en algunas de sus propias canciones).
  • The Who's Pete Townsend occasionally reaches levels of almost Colbert-like guitar playing skills. Who member Roger Daltry is almost as manly as Stephen Colbert, if it weren't for his luscious hair. Their most famous album was titled "Who's Next (to surrender to communisim)". They are considered the second greatest rock band next to Stephen and the Colberts. This article is a stub. You can get a Tip of the Hat* from Stephen by adding only truthiness to it.*Tip of the Hat not guaranteed.
  • The Who are an English rock band. They appeared in the episode, "A Tale of Two Springfields", where they play in Springfield and destroy the wall separating "Olde Springfield" and "New Springfield". Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle voiced themselves. Pete Townshend decided not to guest star in the episode, so he was voiced by his brother Paul Townshend. In the episode, the drummer (who only appears briefly and doesn't speak) is animated to look like Keith Moon, who was the band's original drummer before his death in 1978, despite the band's drummer at the time being Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey.

  • The Who were a famous, groundbreaking rock band from Shepherd's Bush, London, England, known both for their many influential songs and for their pioneering of the art of instrument destruction. They were formed by guitarist Pete Townshend, who joined forces with lead vocalist Roger Daltrey, bassist John Entwistle and Crazy Awesome drummer Keith Moon. They are so influential that when people talk of the great rock bands of The British Invasion, it's often The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who in the same breath. But of the three, only The Who actually spawned a whole musical genre. Don't take our word for it: Johnny Rotten, Johnny Ramone, and Joe Strummer (to name only three) are on record as saying something like, "If not for The Who ..."
  • As one of the key figures of the British Invasion and the mod movement of the mid-'60s, the Who were a dynamic and undeniably powerful sonic force. They often sounded like they were exploding conventional rock and R&B structures with Townshend's furious guitar chords, Entwistle's hyperactive basslines, and Moon's vigorous, seemingly chaotic drumming. Unlike most rock bands, the Who based their rhythm on Townshend's guitar, letting Moon and Entwistle improvise wildly over his foundation, while Daltrey belted out his vocals. This was the sound the Who thrived on in concert, but on record they were a different proposition, as Townshend pushed the group toward new sonic territory. He soon became regarded as one of the finest British songwriters of his era, rivaling John Lennon and Paul McCartn
  • In 1964 would-be rock and roll entrepreneur and BBC producer Kit Lambert spotted a gap in the market for a TV serial following the fortunes of a southern beat combo to rival The Beatles but with more wholesome appeal than The Rolling Stones. He invested his last 15 shillings to place a recruiting advert: Wanted Insane boys for music-television program. Want screaming girls to hold your "hand"? Call 01 3565687 and say Soon Lambert had signed up professional fly-fisherman Roger Daltrey. “He had the looks and he’d been stunning trout with his voice for years,” Lambert recalls.
