John Entwistle Died Today
 

No one else has mentioned it, so I guess I will. I had a long day, installed a blower this morning, and pulled an engine this afternoon. On my way home, I hear that bass player and founding member of The Who, John Entwistle, died today in his Las Vegas hotel room from a heart attack. They were just about to begin a sold out reunion tour. I saw them in L.A. about 20 years ago, and will never forget it.

Take care,

Bad news........
 

I didn't hear that on the way in this morning, and without a radio this is obviously news to me. It sucks, plain and simple. The Who changed what the world expects from a Rock and Roll concert. I don't care what anybody says, they were the loudest and put on one heck of a show. Was planning on catching them this year.:(

Roger Daltrey one sang (kinda yelled actually) "I hope I die before I get old." It appeared that everybody but Moon was going to live well into senior citizenship, ignoring Daltrey's disenchated cry of youth. We were wrong. Entwistle was a mere 57. He will be missed.

I just received this email from KLOS 95.5 FM in Los Angeles:

We just heard about a few hours ago. A few people here at work were going to be going to it. This really sucks

This year is a dark and gloomy year for rock musicians.

In December, Chuck Schuldiner(singer for the band "Death") died.

In March, Randy Castillo(Ozzys old drummer, also played with Motley Crue after Tommy left) died of cancer after he was reportedly 100% cancer free.

In April, Layne Staley(singer of Alice in Chains) died of a heroin/cocaine overdose(speedball).

In June, Robin Crosby(guitar for Ratt i think) died of AIDS.

Now, John dies. ****, i hope this **** will stop now.

Wow what a shock, he will be shurely missed. I liked the Who, and to think he was only 57. You never know.......Odie

I absolutely hated The Who's Tommy.

I love Broadway, but the last time I went tickets for all the GOOD shows were sold out, so my folks made my cousins and I sit through this monstrosity of a musical :rolleyes: I certainly hope their concerts are better, bc I will certainly never forget their show, and not in a good way.

Bitchin' aside, the band is brimming over with talent, and its a sad day for the rock world to lose another great contributor :(

i read about on my way to leave for home today, iwas like wtf, man that suck's i like the who, very much, another great one gone, sad day.:( :(

They just announced on the radio that the show here tomorrow night, and on Monday night, are still going to happen! Something about a tribute. They said the rest of the tour will probably be canceled, though.

course im not a Who generation and i dont listen to classic rock, but i still love them...

"whoooooo are you....who who, who who...."

the only concert i ever saw of them was on the simpsons...and it as one of the best episodes ever (and ive seen literally every one of them)

rest in peace pinball wizard

The who was is a great band and i wanted to see them this summer on the reunino tour but the $125us tickets were more then i wnated to pay. It was sold out anyways. It truely is a sad day for music. The sad part is I will live to see all of the great old bads members die. Page/plant, Jagger/richards, daltrey/townsend,Young/johnson and the list goes on.
RIP John
Thanks for the music
