Roger Daltrey Quotes

Keith Moon was the funniest guy around. The stuff he did was insane. He was like somebody straight out of the movies.

I got to meet Keith Moon!

I think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn't be able to recall it.

I would love to play the drums with 'The Who.'

When I joined Small Faces, we occasionally would bump into The Who. And Keith Moon and I became firm pals.

The band that changed my life was The Who. It's hard to pick just one album, but if I had to pick the one that really showed me how things could be done, it's 'The Who Sell Out.' They really went to town on that, doing something that no one had ever done before.

I've always liked Tina Turner.

I don't really remember a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, really.

I don't care what anybody says about Ringo. I cut my rock-n-roll teeth listening to him.

The Who quite possibly remain the greatest live band ever. Even the list-driven punk legend and music historian Johnny Ramone agreed with me on this.

The Who on record were dynamic. Roger Daltrey's delivery allowed vulnerability without weakness; doubt and confusion, but no plea for sympathy.

I saw 'Purple Rain' in the summer of '84, and, 'Spinal Tap' notwithstanding, it's the greatest rock & roll film of all time. There's so much Prince coming at you that you have to remind yourself he's also a breathtaking guitar player.

Keith Moon was amazing as a drummer, but he was also a nut, and it reflected in his drumming. And the great thing about Who records is that you can almost get hold of the vinyl and feel his heart.

I love Tina Turner.
