Besides being the band's guitarist Pete Townshend has always been the band's main songwriter, the mastermind behind all their classic records. Although the band kept going after losing two important members over the decades, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, Townshend said that he feels like he is just Roger's guitar player nowadays in the band. He told Mojo magazine that he didn't choose any of the band's touring musicians, including the drummer Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son). He also said that he feels like he is just "filling the shows" of Roger solo band guitarist, everytime he goes on stage to play with The Who. Pete Townshend feels like he is just the guitar player for Roger these days "(The Who nowadays) It’s a group of musicians that Roger has chosen. I have not chosen any of the musicians I tour with – not even Zak (Starkey). When Roger brings me onstage I am filling the shoes of a guy called Frank Simes, who Roger tours with solo, and who is a guitar player and musical director." "I am happy to do it. Someone reading this will say, 'Stop fucking complaining, Townshend, and put a band together of people you do want to use.' But that scares the shit out of me," Pete Townshend. The curious thing is that Townshend's younger brother Simon Townshend has been The Who's guitarist since 2002. Besides him, the touring band is nowadays formed by Zak Starkey (Drums), Billy Nicholls (Backing vocals), Loren Gold (Keyboards), Simon Townshend (Guitar), Jon Button (Bass), Keith Levenson (Music coordinator, conductor), Katie Jacoby (Lead violinist), Audrey Q. Snyder (Lead cellist) and Emily Marshall (Keyboards). The Who has no scheduled tour dates for the rest of 2024 but Townshend said that the band is not over yet. He said that the band could possibly do a farewell tour, playing everywhere in the world and then "crawl off to die". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZY3mAh-QN4&pp=ygUMdGhlIHdobyAyMDI0The post Pete Townshend feels like he is just the guitar player for Roger these days appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page started his career at a young age, becoming a really respected session guitarist in London. But he also was part of a few bands like Neil Christian and The Crusaders. In a post shared on his social media, the musician recalled the incredible experience he had when he went with the band, when he was still a teenager, to perform at a women's prison. Jimmy Page recalls playing a concert at a women's prison "I once played Holloway women’s prison with Neil Christian and the Crusaders. When we went on stage in the hall, all the inmates were seated. I remember they were wearing faded flower print dresses." "Some of them had used burnt matches to do their eyeliner, because they weren’t allowed to have proper make-up. We did our show and there was lots of cheering and whistling – Neil Christian was a really good-looking guy." "When we’d finished our set we went to the warden’s office. She said how nice the concert had been but we could hear this terrible racket – the prisoners were back in their cells banging tin cups against the bars and shouting. It was still going on when we left. Doing things like that while I was a teenager was fun! It’s not quite Johnny Cash at San Quentin, but it was still pretty cool," Jimmy Page said. Page wasn't the only legendary musician who worked with Neil Christian. He also had other famous session guitarists like Ritchie Blackmore, Nicky Hopkins, Albert Lee and Mick Abrahams. Although he worked with many incredible musicians in the beginning of their careers, Christian remained as a "one-hit wonder". He had one hit single called "That's Nice", released in 1966. It reached number 14 on the United Kingdom singles chart at the time.The post Jimmy Page recalls playing a concert at a women’s prison appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
