all starts with improper delay.
Yes, because any good lover of music, and rock in all its variations, can not afford to start to listen and learn about the groups and singers, who in the '60s and '70s and early '80s laid the foundation for all kinds of Rock's most important history, exceeded the threshold of 27-28 years. Listening and research that was created for the event, based either on some songs I hear by chance, both on my passion for the drums (in addition to piano, my two favorite instruments), which leads me to explore the most famous drummers in history.
Over the course of my research (very far from complete), I accidentally bump into that, little by little, become my favorite band. If it were fate.
their first song I listen to the signing of a television series, and I say "However, long time" . Spend some time and always in the same way I listen to another, quick search and discovered that the same group. Beginning to get interested. In the meantime start my research in "battery". I discover that one of the most influential in rock history actually belongs to that group. It 's the final spring: I get their albums, I can tell their story, listen to their songs repeat. I remain amazed by many of their works.

But I will not go. Or at least not in this posting. I will mention two names: Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
I can not imagine a combination (respectively) + low battery in the music business who managed to even equal them.
Moon was kind of crazy wild, not for nothing was known as the "crazy drummer of The Who" or simply "Crazy." It was not a master of excellent technique, and besides him, coming from a poor family, barely could afford an instrument. His style was animal, her performances on stage designed to impress the public. Struggling like a madman, was an authentic repertoire of funny faces and grimaces, threw his drumsticks into the air and "locks" the structure of the battery bent 90 degrees. At the end of concerts, literally destroying the battery, on one occasion filled it with gunpowder, making it explode (and deafening the poor right ear Pete Townshend, guitarist of the group). But most of all, its rollers remain in history. The rhythm section of The Who is unmistakable style that Keith performing in many ways remains unique in its history, and over the years has influenced many musicians, including the "John Henry Bonham, drummer of Led Zeppelin, considered the greatest drummer of the 70s style Hard Rock because they advocate with the battery, but still think that no matter how exalted a step behind Keith Moon. Moon was so influential in the sound of the Who, when he died, they resented their music so much that they actually took a turn toward more "Pop" and much less "Rock", in fact, closing the cycle of the golden age of group.
Entwistle ... simply the greatest bass player ever. Of course, someone here might turn up their noses, citing other name as Jaco Pastorius, Steve Harris, Roger Waters (although the bassist of Pink Floyd would be discussed a lot), Les Claypool, someone mentions Paul McCartney, and then many others, the list is long. Entwistle was a true musical genius, began playing piano, Then the trumpet and tenor horn (the knowledge of the winds will be very useful in the Who). Pete knows when he played the banjo and then switch to guitar. Since Pete was playing that instrument, passed definitively to the electric bass. His first bass created it himself with a piece of mahogany.
difficult to find a bass player in the history of the fingers of his fast and accurate. He had a natural talent for music and was the first bassist in history to raise the instrument from a mere instrument of support to a real hero. As Pete preferred the rhythm parts, John "reinvented" the role of the bass, he was chanting melodies, the solos that he dictated. His sound emerged strongly, and this style contrasted sharply with the behavior on stage. While Pete smashed guitars and rotate the arm when he played, while Roger (vocals) walked with air and was strutting around the stage twirling the microphone to the wire, while Moon smashed batteries, he remained like a statue, building, playing the instrument .. . only his fingers moved constantly, running on the bass strings.
The lower section of the battery + Who has no equal in the history of music. Many are surely to be mentioned for various reasons, but the combination of John + Keith combined a mixture of technique, talent and passion over the history of music ever played. I leave with movies taken directly from Youtube. The first 2 forms song "Will not Get Fooled Again" (from the album "Who's next" in 1971, a cornerstone of rock music), the first song with the normal and the second with only trace low isolated from the rest. The third is a solo by Keith Moon, but unfortunately the net I found very little stuff about the drummer.
