The band that “Behind Blue Eyes” singed screaming to “Baba O`Riley” doesn`t worry because this crazy and amazing “Pinball Wizard” could really bring a “Substitute” but never would stop “My Generation”.

Bellow some curiosities about the loud The Who:

- Breaking All: the band The Who has a reputation being the most smashing band of the Rock`n`Roll and all this reputation is the fault of single incident. In the career beginning, the band was playing at the Rail Tavern bar (England) when the Townshend`s guitar began to no longer work. He was furious and than broke the instrument on the stage floor. In the following shows no instrument survived the destruction. Pete claims to have broken 90 guitars in The Who.

-Drummer for 15 minutes: after consume many drugs, the drummer Keith Moon really fainted on his instrument during a presentation. For the show doesn`t stop, Pete Townshend screamed to the audience asking if there was a drummer. Scott Halpin played three live songs with The Who replacing Moon.

- Hearing Problems: the guitarist Pete Townshend claimed during an interview that is losing his hearing. The problem was caused by strong chords of his guitar during of The Who`s presentations. The musician said that he will just quit when he can`t hear anything.
