Well... they ARE.

Besides the fact that the The Who are absolute crap, it's just childish to talk about fellow artists that way.

Blocked and reported.

Much appreciated!

i guess there was more competition between these bands than we realized.

reply

I think it's mostly in Daltrey's head.

McCartney said basically the same thing

About The Who???

reply

the stones

reply

We were talking about Daltrey's imagined rivalry with The Stones.

reply

Why, Roger, why?

reply

Probably the most press he's had in years! He even generated a bit of Moviechat discussion!

Still, I don't doubt the statement was motivated by genuine resentment. The Stones and The Who have been direct rivals for about sixty years, and The Who have come in second place in popularity, sales, and general awesomeness.

reply

That's why I ask. He sounds bitter of The Stones' success.

reply

What a dumb-ass comment. Sour grapes, by someone who is in a band that is not quite as successful.
