Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Townshend

“I do live here and now, but I often think about the past. But then again, I think a lot of people do. So I think writers, what are they going to draw on?”Mark Savage speaks to musician Paul McCartney.Born in Liverpool, England, during the Second World War, he found fame as a member of the legendary British band The Beatles in the 1960s, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in music history.McCartney shared primary singing and songwriting duties with bandmate John Lennon, and along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the four-piece became a global pop music sensation with hits such as Twist and Shout, Yesterday and Hey Jude.They remain one of the best-selling musical acts of all time alongside the likes of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.McCartney was knighted for his services to music in 1997, but despite his huge achievements, the 83-year-old seems to be showing no interest in retirement — he's releasing his 19th solo album.The Boys of Dungeon Lane is inspired by his experiences growing up in post-war Liverpool, during which a young McCartney, carrying a guitar and wearing a bowler hat to catch attention, would hitchhike with John Lennon to places as far away as Paris.

The Yardbird's Godfrey Townsend is Living a Rock 'n Roll Wet Dream Fourth time IS the charm. After way too many reschedulings, as with all things, this conversation with the Yardbirds' Godfrey Townsend happened exactly when it was intended. Lightning doesn't strike the same spot twice, and this was an electric circus of talk and music perfection. From jumping in at the opening with The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again, to Godfrey's masterpiece of Jeff Beck's, Cause We've Ended as Lovers, from Blow by Blow, which cracked my heart open and left me with goosebumps, in tears… to every single moment in between, this was heaven. I've fostered my share of conversations that have blown my mind; this is amongst the best of the best. For a girl whose moniker was RockGirl back in the day when Godfrey and I met decades ago, this conversation was truly a Rock 'N Roll wet dream. Godfrey not only shares stories with Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, Alan Parsons, Mark Farner, Dave Mason, Joey Molland, Todd Rundgren, Howard Kaylan, The Cowsills, Chuck Negron, The Association, Mark Volman… he's played with them all! And his stories and intimate experiences with them left me breathless. And then there's meeting Clapton, his divine private audience with Pete Townshend, his adorable Jimmy Page encounter and impression, meeting Beck! Has any rockin' stone been left unturned? Dammit, I didn't even ask about Mick and Keith! Next time. And there will be a next time. For the two hours of this, I trust there are so many more unmined gems. If rock's your thing, if you lived through the 60s till now, or just dig the music, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200… hit the play button and hunker down for a wild, fun, and wonderful ride. An inside view from an insider. Consider this the audiobook of Godfrey's sure-to-come bestselling rock memoir. Hachachacha! LOVED IT! Godfrey Townsend Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, May 6, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn

Jeremy Cordeaux returns to the garage for a blistering post-Budget reckoning. With 83 percent of Australians telling pollsters Labor has lied, Jeremy argues this wasn’t a Budget — it was a political suicide note. He traces the eerie parallels between Anthony Albanese and Gough Whitlam, walks through the carnage Whitlam left behind in the 1970s, and warns that scrapping negative gearing — a tax mechanism introduced in 1936 to fix a housing shortage — will make today’s housing crisis worse, not better. He takes aim at the bloated public service (the largest in the OECD), the broken promises on tax, the unchecked immigration intake, and the Treasurer’s maths on who his measures will help versus hurt. Plus a hat tip to Pauline Hanson’s Friday appearance, the case for a Liberal–Nationals–One Nation showdown at the next election, and the usual sweep through the day in history. Seven million views in twenty-eight days — and Friday’s blockbuster panel recap (Adam Creighton, Dr John Bruni, Professor Plimer, Catherine Tilley, Frank Pangallo and Pauline Hanson) Why Jeremy calls the Budget a “political suicide note” for Labor 83 percent of Australians say Labor has lied — the post-Budget polling fallout The Whitlam–Albanese parallel: landslide majorities, “reform” rhetoric, and the dead hand of socialism What actually happened after Whitlam: 60 percent stock market crash, 83 percent house price surge, record bankruptcies and recession Negative gearing scrapped — and why that contradicts the very 1936 logic that created it The Treasurer’s 7,500-people maths problem: who gets hurt vs who gets helped Pauline Hanson’s “shit sandwich” line and the case for Liberal–National–One Nation cooperation The 2019 Bill Shorten flashback: Australians already rejected this policy mix Australia has the largest public service in the OECD — start the cuts there Made in Australia Week and the legacy of the 1975 Lima Declaration This day in history: Karl Benz, Anne Boleyn, Marilyn Monroe sings to JFK, Pete Townshend’s birthday and more See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In May 1969, with the Who on the brink of bankruptcy, Pete Townshend decided to risk it all with an extremely ambitious project -- arguably the most ambitious undertaking in rock to that point -- a 4-sided rock opera about a sight and hearing-impaired young man named Tommy who becomes a kind of messiah figure. The album became a true sensation, especially after The Who performed it at Woodstock. It would end being adapted into a movie, a stage musical, and even a ballet by a Montreal dance troupe. And it would influence the course of rock that followed.

John Alec Entwistle est un bassiste de rock anglais né le 9 octobre 1944 à Chiswick, dans la banlieue de Londres et mort le 27 juin 2002 à Las Vegas. Connu principalement, pour avoir été le bassiste du groupe mythique The Who, il fait partie de ces musiciens de légende dont la virtuosité et la créativité ont énormément apporté au monde de la basse. Cours de basse⎥Blog BassistePro.com – Cours de basse⎥apprendre la guitare basse avec un Pro⎥ ——->>>>>>> Partagez cet article sur les réseaux sociaux afin qu’il puisse aider d’autres bassistes motivés à progresser ! John Entwistle, sa carrière Enfant unique d’un père trompettiste et d’une mère pianiste, John a surtout été élevé par sa mère, à South Acton, suite à la séparation de ses parents. Dans les années 40, le divorce était une chose assez rare et cela a certainement contribué à façonner la personnalité introvertie et stoïque d’Entwistle. Il commence à prendre des cours de piano à l’âge de 7 ans, mais cette expérience ne s’avère pas très concluante. Il n’apprécie pas tellement cet instrument, et lui préfère la trompette. À l’âge de 11 ans, il intègre la Acton County Grammar School et se lance dans l’apprentissage du cor d'harmonie. Il joue alors dans l’orchestre symphonique de l’école, le Middlesex Youth Orchestra. C’est dans cette école, en deuxième année, qu’il rencontre Pete Townshend, avec lequel il va sceller une grande amitié. Les deux compères vont former un groupe de jazz, appelé The Confederates, mais après seulement un concert, ils vont décider de se tourner définitivement vers le rock. À ce moment-là, Entwistle a du mal à s’entendre sur scène avec sa trompette. Après avoir brièvement essayé la guitare, il est rapidement attiré par le son grave et puissant de la basse. Au début des années 60, John Entwistle est remarqué par Roger Daltrey, qui était aussi à la Acton County, une année au-dessus de lui, et qui avait depuis quitté l’école pour travailler dans la tôle. Ce dernier l’invite à faire partie de son groupe, The Detours, et Entwistle en profite pour convaincre Daltrey d'embaucher Pete Townshend. ——->>>>>>> Êtes-vous un fan de John Entwistle ? Dites-le moi dans les commentaire. Naissance de The Who En 1963, Roger Daltrey abandonne le poste de guitariste pour le confier à Pete Townshend et se consacrer pleinement au rôle de leader et de chanteur. C’est au cours de cette année qu’ils décident ensemble de rebaptiser leur formation The Who. Avec l’arrivée du batteur Keith Moon, en 1964, le groupe adopte alors sa forme définitive. En 1965, The Who sort un single, My Generation, qui va les faire connaître, ainsi que leur premier album du même nom. Ce morceau contient l’un des premiers solos de basse de l’histoire, dans lequel on peut y entendre toute la virtuosité et la créativité d’Entwistle. Il utilise une technique de son invention dite de typewriter (machine à écrire), qui lui permet de jouer des notes de façon percutante et très rapide. D’ailleurs, l’un des deux surnoms dont a été gratifié Entwistle au cours de sa carrière était « Thunderfingers », à cause de la rapidité de mouvement de ses doigts. Son deuxième surnom, « The Ox » (le bœuf), était dû à sa carrure, et sa tendance à boire et manger toujours plus que ses acolytes. Sa conduite sur scène en est aussi sûrement pour quelque chose. En effet, il jouait souvent de façon quasiment immobile, créant un contraste original avec la vélocité de ses doigts et le chaos provoqué par les autres membres du groupe. À ce titre, Bill Wyman, bassiste des Rolling Stones, le décrit comme « l’homme le plus silencieux en privé, mais l’homme le plus bruyant sur scène ». Entwistle est aussi l’un des premiers à utiliser des stack d’amplis Marshall afin de s’entendre par-dessus le tapage du groupe. En perpétuelle surenchère de volume sonore avec Pete Townshend et Keith Moon (qui a même utilisé des explosifs sur son kit batterie à l’occasion d’un show télévisé), The Who gagne rapidement sa réputation de « groupe le plus bruyant de la planète ». Il figure même dans le livre Guinness des Records pour avoir atteint 126 décibels lors d’un concert à Londres en 1976. Entre 1965 et 1982, The Who va sortir une dizaine d’albums qui vont connaître le succès. De Tommy (1969), à Quadrophenia (1973), en passant par Who’s Next (1971), ou The Who Sell Out (1967), tous leurs albums vont finir disques d’or ou de platine en Angleterre et aux États-Unis. Carrière solo En 1971, John Entwistle sort son premier album solo : Smash Your Head Against the Wall. En effet, en plus d’être un bassiste de génie et un multi-instrumentiste, Entwistle était aussi chanteur et auteur-compositeur. Il est ainsi à l’origine de nombreux passages chantés dans certaines chansons de The Who, notamment les parties de chant guttural que l’on peut entendre dans Boris the Spider par exemple. En 1990, John Entwistle part en tournée avec The Best, un super-groupe composé de Joe Walsh, Keith Emerson, Jeff Baxter et Simon Phillips. Vers la fin de sa carrière, il forme le John Entwistle Project, avec le batteur Steve Luongo et le guitariste Mark Hitt, qui deviendra plus tard The John Enwistle Band. Ils sont rejoints par Godfrey Townsend (qui remplace Mark Hitt à la guitare) et Gordon Cotton aux claviers. Le 27 juin 2002, un jour avant la première représentation de la tournée de The Who, John Entwistle est retrouvé mort dans sa chambre du Hard Rock Hotel & Casino à Las Vegas. D’après le médecin légiste, le décès est dû à une crise cardiaque suite à l’absorption de cocaïne. C’est le bassiste Pino Palladino qui le remplacera sur scène. ——->>>>>>> Partagez cet article sur les réseaux sociaux afin qu’il puisse aider d’autres bassistes motivés à progresser ! Influences de John Entwistle L’un des musiciens qui a le plus influencé Enwistle a été Duane Eddy. C’est en effet en écoutant les riffs que le guitariste jouait sur les cordes graves de sa guitare que John eut envie de jouer de la basse. Il s’inspira aussi d’autre guitariste de rock and roll comme Gene Vincent ou encore du bassiste de R&B James Jamerson. Instruments John Entwistle fabriqua sa première basse en 1960, inspirée d’une Fender precision. C’est à partir de ce même modèle de Fender et de l’alliage de quatre autres basses qu’il en fabriquera une autre en 1967, baptisé « Frankenstein ». Il utilisera ainsi au cours de sa carrière de très nombreux modèles de basses telles que la Danelectro Longhorn (que l’on peut entendre dans le morceau phare My Generation), des Gibson Thunderbird ou encore des basses Alembic. Mais c’est avec la marque Warwick qu’il va créer un modèle « signature » d’exception : la Status Buzzard Bass. Véritable collectionneur compulsif et concepteur d’instruments, John Entwistle possédait à sa mort plus de 200 basses et guitares. ——->>>>>>> Quelle est votre ligne de basse préféré de John ?

After a massive tour in 2006, Pearl Jam's 2007 was a lot less chaotic than the 79-show tour that spanned three continents. They went back to Europe for 12 shows, half of them being festivals in places they've barely visited, and then two memorable shows in Chicago - Vic Theatre and Lollapalooza. This episode covers the Munich show from this run, one of their few arena headlining gigs from the tour. It was their first to back since 1992, a memorable night where they performed the Ten album in full. After heavily supporting the Avocado record the year prior, this show specifically doesn't feature the same plethora of songs from the album. When supporting the record, they'd begin most of their shows with some kind of combination of World Wide Suicide, Life Wasted, Severed Hand and Marker In The Sand with around a total of eight songs from the record played, but in Munich they significantly reduced that album's representation opting for only three songs. However, Severed Hand is a major highlight from this show, and Unemployable will take us to a conversation where we connect it to a random 70's song that has nothing to do with Pearl Jam. Other highlights include the return of Sometimes after a long absence, a killer version of Sad, Matt Cameron's patented Even Flow solo for the era and how some of the gear Mike was using impacted songs like Given To Fly and Present Tense. We'll also share the story of Ed's #5 guitar, how it relates back to Pete Townshend, and how it further relates to both Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher in a wild tale that all gear and music nerds will enjoy.

“If you play piano, bass guitar, saxophone, I don't care - I'll play with you all night. That's how I did it. And I tell all my grandkids - get an event, get a few of your schoolmates together. They're practising and playing by themselves. Get with people!”Regan Morris speaks to musician Ringo Starr about his career. Born in Liverpool, England, during the Second World War in 1940, Ringo, real-name Richard Starkey, found fame as the drummer of the legendary British band The Beatles - widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in music history.After joining John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison in 1962, the four-piece became a global pop music sensation through hits such as ‘She Loves You', ‘Yesterday', ‘Penny Lane', and ‘Hey Jude'. They also released multiple studio albums and starred in five major motion pictures.Although the band split up in 1970, their legacy continues to live on. They remain one of the best-selling musical acts of all time over half a century later. And such was his and the band's cultural impact, that Ringo, one of two surviving members of The Beatles, received a knighthood at Buckingham Palace for his services to music in 2018.But despite achieving seemingly all that can be achieved in a music career, the 85-year-old seems to be showing no interest in retirement — he's just released his third country album, which is his 22nd album as a solo artist.

¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de Dios? Si la religión resulta tan confusa es porque Dios es para muchas personas solamente un nombre por el que entienden cosas muy diferentes. Por eso Pablo se propone hablar en Atenas de "El Dios no conocido" (Hechos 17). La sintonía de nuestro programa tiene esta vez una de las conocidas versiones de la canción que popularizó Nat King Cole. Es la que hizo Chuck Berry en 1961. Oímos luego "Las preguntitas sobre Dios" que se hizo el argentino Atahualpa Yupanqui en 1969. Nos muestra como muchos rechazan la idea de Dios por su relación con la opresión del pobre. Todos tenemos la idea de que si hay un Dios, tiene que ser más grande que nosotros, pero Pete Townshend lo buscaba en su interior. Seguía las enseñanzas del gurú indio Meher Baba desde 1967, que escribe "Fe en algo mayor" (Faith In Something Bigger). La canción se publicó finalmente en el álbum de The Who de 1974. El músico que conocemos como Sting, Gordon Summer, tuvo una educación muy católica, aunque su madre era anglicana. Su evidente interés por la religión ha sido estudiado en libros incluso de profesores universitarios como Evyatar Marienberg de París (Sting and religion). Canciones como "Oh, mi Dios" (O My God) con The Police en 1983 son auténticas oraciones a un Dios que parece demasiado lejos. Pocos autores como Flannery O´Connor (1925-1964) han sido capaces de retratar una cultura "perseguida por Dios"(Haunted by God), como la americana del profundo Sur. Esta escritora convertida al catolicismo murió pronto de cáncer, pero dejó una novela como "Sangre sabia" (1952). llevada al cine por John Huston en 1979. Su protagonista nos muestra cómo la negación de la fe por este predicador de la Iglesia sin Cristo no es en el fondo más que una afirmación de la verdad cristiana. José de Segovia la comenta con algunas escenas de la versión doblada al castellano y la música de la banda sonora original de Alex North, junto a otras creadas por la Inteligencia Artificial. El cantante escocés de The Waterboys, Mike Scott, anuncio en su "Canción de Glastonbury" (Glastonbury Song) que había "encontrado a Dios donde siempre estaba". Apareció en el sexto álbum de la banda en 1993 (Dream Harder) con la batería de Carla Azar y desde entonces no falta en ninguno de sus conciertos. El tema con el que despedimos nuestro programa es uno de los más brillantes de Larry Norman, el más conocido portavoz de la Revolución por Jesús. Tiene un aire del cabaret berlinés de los años 20 o 30, pero la solía interpretar en vivo a finales del siglo pasado.

Apologies for the delay in posting this episode — health issues have continued to affect me. They *seem* to be improving, but I should also mention here that some of the guitar demonstrations in this episode are not quite the same part as Pete Townshend is playing on the records, because my arthritis is affecting my hands. For those who haven't heard the announcement I posted, songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the second part of a two-episode look at the song “Pinball Wizard” by The Who.

As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas. In the pages of What's the Big Idea? (Hozac, 2025), author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation. Author of the critically acclaimed Disturbing the Peace, Kopp turns us down the darkest road of musical blind-spots yet, the concept album, a previously shunned genre, now worthy of your curiosity. And then you hear something like Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, and The Turtles Present Battle of the Bands, or S.F. Sorrow, and you're really second-guessing yourself now, right? As it turns out, there's something genuinely interesting about this “concept” in itself, and it lends us a look into a world when musical creativity really had been unleashed in its full glory. Yes, those extravagances produced much audio garbage, but very few people even get that chance anymore, despite the ease of home recording. Even Captain Sensible and The Church committed this ‘big ideas' into noteworthy efforts, along with Hawkwind, William Shatner, Ghostface Killa, and of course, Pete Townshend, who graciously offers an exclusive interview here.

Drummer Michael Shrieve's story reads like a rock-and-roll fairy tale — the kind of musical journey that blends youthful serendipity with restless creativity, and a lifelong appetite for pushing boundaries. Before he was a name on Santana's classic albums or a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, he was a kid with sticks and big dreams.Born in California, Shrieve grew up deeply drawn to music. As a teenager he played in his first serious band and gigged around backing rhythm and blues acts — even sitting in with seasoned performers like B.B. King and Etta James.At just 16, a pivotal moment came when he sat in during a jam at San Francisco's famed Fillmore Auditorium. His playing caught someone's ear — Santana's manager Stan Marcum — setting the stage for his astonishing ascent.At 19, Shrieve met Carlos Santana in a studio and was invited to join the band on the spot. It was a leap that would change his life. Almost immediately after joining, Shrieve found himself at the center of one of rock's defining moments: Santana's performance at Woodstock in August 1969. Barely 20 years old, his explosive drum solo on “Soul Sacrifice” became one of the enduring visual and sonic highlights of the event's documentary.Between '69 and '74, Shrieve played on Santana's first seven albums: Santana (1969), Abraxas (1970), Santana III (1971), Caravanserai (1972), Welcome (1973) and Borboletta (1974), plus the live album Lotus (1974).He wasn't just a timekeeper. On Caravanserai he co-produced and co-wrote four tracks, helping guide the band into more experimental, jazz-infused territory. His work helped broaden the possibilities of rock percussion, drawing on influences from jazz greats and Latin rhythms alike.By the mid-'70s, Shrieve was ready to expand his musical palette beyond Santana. He left the band to pursue solo projects and relocated to London. One of his first ventures was Automatic Man , a group that blended rock with progressive and funk elements. He then joined the avant-garde fusion supergroup Go, alongside formidable musicians like Steve Winwood, Stomu Yamashta, Klaus Schulze and Al Di Meola. The band released multiple albums and toured, diving deep into jazz, electronic and world music textures.Throughout the late '70s and '80s Shrieve stayed busy, playing with Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve (with Neal Schon and Sammy Hagar) and contributing to albums by artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones (Emotional Rescue, 1980) and Roger Hodgson of Supertramp. He also collaborated on Richard Wahnfried projects with electronic composer Klaus Schulze and recorded his own electronic music.After leaving Santana, Shrieve didn't slow down — he reinvented himself again and again. Beyond rock and fusion bands, he became a composer and session player whose credits include work with Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Pete Townshend, Andy Summers, Jaco Pastorius and many others.He also ventured into film music, composing scores for movies including Tempest and Apollo 13, and continued collaborations with musicians across genres.In 1997 he reunited with former Santana members — Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, José Areas and Michael Carabello — in Abraxas Pool, a project that revisited and re-imagined elements of the classic Santana sound.Shrieve's contributions were formally recognized when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for his work with Santana, and later honored with Guitar Center's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. He's also been cited by Rolling Stone as one of rock's greatest drummers.In 2016, he briefly reunited with the original Santana lineup for the album Santana IV, again marking his deep connection to the music that made his name.Today, Michael Shrieve remains a vibrant artist. His band Spellbinder, blends jazz and improvisatory rock; he works on ambitious solo projects like Drums of Compassion; and continues to collaborate with forward-thinking musicians across genres.Michael joins us today to share his story.

Pete Townshend lists the 5 songs he has written that are his favorites!

On Episode 115 of the Planet LP Podcast, Ted Asregadoo dives deep into a pivotal moment in The Who's history — their 1978 album Who Are You — with longtime Who aficionado Jason Hare. Who Are You may not top most fans' lists of the band's greatest albums, but it remains one of the most significant. Released on August 18, 1978, it was the last record to feature the original lineup and arrived at a moment when the band — and Pete Townshend in particular — were confronting their own fading relevance. As rock critic Greil Marcus noted in his 1978 Rolling Stone review, much of the album is shaped by Townshend's anxieties about obsolescence, artistic exhaustion, and the shifting musical landscape. Forty-seven years later, Who Are You gets the full Super Deluxe treatment, just as The Who call it quits (again) after their final “This Song Is Over” tour in 2025 — a greatest-hits victory lap for casual fans, but not always the deep-cut celebration hardcore devotees were hoping for. Ted and Jason unpack what this new box set offers: the unheard material, the surprises, what genuinely adds to the album's legacy, and where the collection may come up short. They also take a candid look at Keith Moon's final performances — the brilliance, the decline, and the tragedy of a 32-year-old who seemed decades older. It's an episode for fans who want more than nostalgia — they want context, history, and a dash of humor in The Who's transitional chapter. Steve Fox's Old School sponsors the Planet LP podcast!

How do you actually help someone you love -- maybe it's you ("Baby It's You" -- The Beatles, '63)? "Magic cancellation"! That's the thing. It's a phrase used by English novelist James Hilton in his first novel "Ill Wind" ('32). Hilton was describing the power of altruistic love on the part of a Soviet diplomat (of all people) on a French chambermaid (who is actually a Russian aristocrat on the run from people just like him). The diplomat's entirely genuine love for the chambermaid demolishes her "architecture of misery" -- again Hilton's phrase -- which had confined her 100% up to that moment. "Magic" (i.e., outwardly interventionist, Holy Spirit-inspired) cancellation" is what it takes to "open the door to your heart" (Pete Townshend, '81). That's what it takes: one-way love from outside yourself. (And note, this is not antinomian. It is not rooted in denial. It is rooted in the Graceful determination of the one who loves. And in about four fifths of all cases, such "cancellation" opens the door to ... response, and -- here's the rub -- personal renewal and Hope. Try it. Maybe it worked on you once. (In the Fall of '72, all it took, in the case of yours truly, was someone offering a Sunday evening lift from 72 Mt. Auburn Street, Cambridge Mass down to -- hey it wasn't even far (geographically) -- Narragansett Bay. And it worked. I mean, forever.) LUV U.

Join legendary drummer Simon Phillips for a reflective look through his extraordinary five-decade career in music. From Simon Phillips Music in his early days as a teenage session prodigy in London’s bustling studio scene to becoming one of the most sought-after and influential and drummers in rock and jazz fusion, Simon shares the stories behind the grooves that defined the beat of generations. We walk through his formative years backing artists like Pete Townshend and The Who, Mick Jagger, Jack Bruce, Whitesnake, Joe Satriani, Mike Oldfield, Tears for Fears, Jeff Beck and Judas Priest, his iconic work with Toto where he brought explosive energy and technical precision to the rhythm of classics both new and old, and his ventures into jazz fusion with his own Protocol Music series and collaborations with players like Dave Weckl and Billy Cobham. He also discusses his recent work with DarWin music. Simon reflects on the evolution of drumming technology, from acoustic kits to electronic innovations, and how he’s adapted while maintaining his distinctive powerful yet nuanced style of iconic performance . Along the way, Simon Phillips Music opens up about his drumming and producer techniques and the discipline required to stay at the top of his game, the challenges of balancing touring with studio work, and what keeps him inspired today.

John Wilson speaks to Pete Townshend, songwriter and guitarist of British rock band The Who about the band's farewell tour of the US.Through his powerful stage presence and pioneering use of technology, Townshend transformed The Who from a hobby wedding band to one of the biggest and loudest outfits of the 1960s and 1970s. His artistic approach created tension with singer Roger Daltrey, the band's only other surviving member. Sixty years after first coming together, the pair completed their farewell tour of Italy earlier this year and are currently saying goodbye to America.Townshend says he is proud of his influence, even if his rock and roll generation put his parents out of work, who were both musicians in more traditional wartime dance bands. He also reveals the inspiration behind his infamous smashing of guitars may have just been one big misunderstanding.
