SoOo. there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night! So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweet shop on the edge of town. SooOo we go, AndDd it's closed. So there's me and KEITH MOON, and David Crosby breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop owner and his son. that's a different story altogether. I HAD TO BEAT THEM TO DEATH WITH THEY OWN SHOES.

I was at the concert the night Keith passed out and folded right over his drums! Pete announced that they'd take a little break, and a few minutes later out charged Moon, obviously lit on some snortable, got behind the drums and passed out again! This time Townsend went up to the mike and asked if anyone in the audience could play drums! About a hundred guys charged the stage and sure enough they put one of them behind the drums and he played the rest of the concert!

Moon the loon. I read a book about Steve McQueen and he was neighbors with Keith Moon in Malibu in the 70s. According to the book, there was a bathroom light that shined into McQueens bedroom and repeatedly told him to turn it off. One day Steve grabbed a shotgun and blew out the light along with the window, Moon never left it on again. And Steve also saved him from drowning on one occasion.

The only guy that can play like that today is Dave Grohl. Go back and watch some old Nirvana, he's doing two beats at once regularly. That sounds wrong but it's happening so quick you only hear segments if not watching. Because of that to me his stuff always sounds fresh. My ears pick up different parts at different times

As a drummer who is inspired by Moonie above all others, I'm annoyed as hell that his uniquely innovative, dynamic, often melodic, and sublimely musical drumming tends to be glossed over in favor of the tabloid trash. Rock In Perpetuity, Keith, you took drumming into another realm!

This video reminds me of sneaking into my brother's room when he was away and jamming his vinyls. It always pi$$ed him of. But before his untimely death he left them all to me still have them all. Thanks for the nostalgia. Time to go rock out to some iron butterfly

A favorite story about Keith Moon was told by Alice Cooper on Top Gear,
About 40% of what you've heard about me, Iggy, Ozzy or anything like that is probably true. Everything you've ever heard about Keith Moon is true. And you've only heard a 10th of it.

Hey what happened to Tom Blank? I really liked his humor and voice inflections that made the series fun to watch. Bring him back. if he's still alive that is. Who wants a corpse narrating Weird History.

Ideas for future videos:
--Inventions of the 1920's (like sliced bread) the decade that coined the phrase: What will they think of next?
What was it like to be a Serf?

I've been lucky enough to see The Who twice with Moon. I stopped seeing them live when he passed because it's not the Who without him. He was a force to be reckoned with.

I maintain that, because Ludwig von Beethoven is indeed Father God, The Who MUST be his only begotten son. (& grow a sense of humor before starting, please)

Supposedly Animal the muppet wasn't specifically based on any one drummer, but in my head he's a cross between Ginger Baker and Keith Moon.

I saw The Who in Boston in the early '70s. Best band I ever saw. You can't really replace Moon the Loon, not really The Who without him.

My favourite song from the who is behind blue eyes. I even liked limp bizkit's version but it's definitely not the same as the original

Why do you keep replacing your narrators? It's not that I'm against change, it's just that the ones you're making aren't good.
