Why did Pete Townshend smash his guitar on stage?
Asked by Wiki User
Apparently, it began as a stunt suggested by their manager in order to get them in the papers and because of its popularity, he decided to repeat it at most gigs and it became a visual representation of the aggression he felt.
Was Keith moon a christian?
Asked by Wiki User
No.
There is actually a famous story about the question of his Jewishness. Keith was having a meeting with publicists and others. It came up that some people thought he was Jewish. They start teasing him, especially this one guy who says: "Moonie, you've got to be Jewish!"
Moon says: "No, I'm not!"
Then the guy says: "Come on, it is so obvious, look at you!"
Moon is getting angry and he shouts: "Damnit! I'm NOT Jewish!"
Then:...
He pulled down his pants, exposed his penis and said:
"Do I look like a Jew to you!?"
- Dear Boy: The Life Of Keith Moon
I guess that would clearly indicate Keith's own convictions; and seeing as it was Keith Moon, he was known to do outlandish and outrageous things like that.

Is pete townshend christian?
Asked by Wiki User
Actually, no one really knows what Pete Townshend was "born" into. During his career as lead guitarist for The Who he did however, show some interest into various religions. Personally, I myself think that no one is really born into a religion and therefore the answer to anyone being born a Catholic would have to be no. But that is my opinion (woops).

Why was Keith moon famous?
Asked by Wiki User
Keith Moon was one of the great drummers of the British Invasion of the 1960s/70s. His frenetic style of playing, including a complete disregard for his drum kit, was spectacular to watch. He added a tremendous amount of "punch" to The Who songs far and above simply keeping rhythm. He was also one hell of showman. His nearly acrobatic style of playing influenced a great number of drummers from the 1970s to present. Besides, it was great fun watching him trash is drums at the end of set. His name was also really cool!
Go hit YouTube and look for pre-1976 The Who videos to see Keith Moon in action.

How did john entwistle die?
Asked by Wiki User
According to various sources our favorite Bassist from The Who was found dead in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Later on the public was told he died of a Heart Attack. (This seems very unlikely since John Entwistle was always so serious up on the stage.)
John Entwistle passed away on June 27, 2002, the morning before The Who were to begin their tour. The official cause is listed as heart failure (he had an already existing condition) due to cocaine use, although the amount he used is not known.

How did Keith moon die?
Asked by Wiki User
Overdose of anti seizure medication prescribed for his alcoholism by a doctor who did not realize that his patient was "Moon the Loon", famous for his excessive lifestyle. The numbers of pills found in his bloodstream correspond to his age, but that may of course be as coincidental as the ominous text on the chair he bestraddled on the cover of the last album he lent his amazing percussive talent to, "Who Are You?" - it reads: NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY. Pete Townshend suggested that Moon's death may have been his ultimate way of cocking a snook at the world in the nihilistic spirit that formed the other side of the moon. He will be remembered for having lived rock 'n' roll in addition to having played it so brilliantly. His outstanding talent for music and his delightful sense of humor indicate he may have been a savant (as suggested by Roger Daltrey), for he excelled only in those two areas while miserably failing in all other respects.

How old was John Entwistle at death?
Asked by APIBirthday
Sadly, John Entwistle died in 2002 at a Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Some believe he died of a heart attack. (Which doesn't seem likely since he was always so serious on stage..)
Also: John Entwistle, on the night of his death, had gone to bed with a stripper who had awoken in the middle of the night to find him cold and unresponsive. Turns out that John had been doing cocaine throughout his adult life. Just this once the cocaine had reacted to his already bad heart condition and it had proven fatal. Poor John died on June 27th, 2002.
