Being a wee bit of a geezer, I’ve seen plenty of reunion shows. Almost all of them have been disappointing to some degree. Part of that is the inevitable diminishing of the initial spark; part of that is unreasonable expectations of the present compared to the idealized memories of the past. So perhaps it helps that I had no expectations of A Neon Rome , Toronto legends who broke up 22 years...
Rock stars like to label tours with abstract or meaningless titles (what exactly was a Zoo TV anyway'). Not Roger Daltrey. The 65-year-old Who singer has named his...
There hasn’t been much to cheer for if you’ve been a fan of the New York Knickerbockers over the last decade or so. While the once mighty franchise has struggled, there is now a reason to watch them - for the beginning of their on Friday night games on MSG at least - as they will feature a new song and video from Robert Randolph & The Family Band . The song, called Get There, features...
Roger Daltrey has released a half-dozen or so solo albums, but that's not why he instantly sold out the House of Blues on Monday night. No, like fellow fitful solo artist Pete Townshend, Daltrey's best known as half of the (remaining) Who, the irreplaceable singer of Townshend's songs, the powerhouse mouthpiece for Townshend's melodies that's responsible for projecting all the way to the back row of...
RONNIE WOOD is elated after receiving a top accolade at London's Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards - it's the first prize he's ever scooped without his ROLLING...
(expanded version of previously published text) Times may be changing in New Albany, but days like Saturday still strike me as somewhat surreal when viewed from the sobriety of a mellow morning after. Perhaps some day this will change -- not the sobering up, which is a required feature of the professional drinker's life, but the surrealism of change in New Albany. We began with late afternoon, craft-roasted...
Halloween's over but the scary men of rock were out in force at the Marshall Classic Rock 'n' Roll Of Honour Awards. Iggy Pop, Ronnie Wood, Tony Iommi and Pete Townshend all got gongs at the London bash - with Iggy crowned Living Legend.

Many would point to Who’s Next as Pete Townshend’s crowning achievement, and from a commercial standpoint it would be hard to argue. There are others though, myself included, who would submit that Quadrophenia was actually the height of his creative genius. Released in 1973, Quadrophenia evolved the rock opera form Townshend was perfecting from the [...]
ROGER DALTREY has revealed THE WHO is planning a ROCK BAND videogame, which will allow fans to play along with the legendary rockers' biggest hits.The singer tells...
After Roger Daltrey let slip this week that his legendary band The Who is in line for a dedicated version of Rock Band, we started wondering: Who’s next? From The Rolling Stones to Radiohead, there’s no shortage of candidates for the next band-specific edition of the supremely popular videogame. (After the Who, of course.) Just remember, this [...]
