The Who main songwriter and guitarist Pete Townshend said in an interview with The New York Times that the band will probably do one final tour playing in all corners of the world and then "crawl off to die". He also said that he really doesn't get too excited about performing live and that he does that for the money nowadays. When asked if he would like to make new music‚ he said that he feels like people want to hear the "old Pete" and not what he composes nowadays. To explain that he used AC/DC as an example and said that the Australian group made the same album 50 times. Pete Townshend says AC/DC made the same album 50 times "I do‚ and I think I will‚" before using the chance to speak about his ideas for a final tour: It feels to me like there's a final tour where we play every territory in the world and then crawl off to die. I don't get much of a buzz from performing with The Who. If I'm really honest‚ I've been touring for the money. My idea of an ordinary lifestyle is pretty elevated. I've been immensely creative and productive throughout that period‚ but I haven't felt the need to put (new music) out." "And if I can make it personal‚ I don't care whether you like it or not. When 'White City' came out and the sales were so slow‚ I thought 'screw this.' Nobody wanted me as I was – they wanted the old Pete." "AC/DC made 50 albums‚ but all their albums were the same. It wasn't the way The Who worked. We were an ideas band. (...) I’ve got about 500 titles I might release online‚ mostly unfinished stuff. We’re not making Coca-Cola‚ where every can has to taste the same. And it’s turned out‚ surprise‚ surprise‚ that rock ’n’ roll is really good at dealing with the difficulties of aging. Watching Keith Richards onstage‚ trying to do what he used to do — it’s disturbing‚ heart-rending‚ but also delightful. "The Who isn't Daltrey and Townshend onstage at 80‚ pretending to be young. It's the four of us in 1964‚ when we were 18 or 19. If you want to see The Who myth‚ wait for the avatar show. It would be good!" Pete Townshend said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7-bIFDMSFA&;pp=ygUUYWMgZGMgbWlzdHMgb2YgdGltZSA%3D Roger Daltrey solo tour dates Until now The Who doesn't have more tour dates scheduled for 2024‚ but Roger Daltrey will be touring on his own next May and June.

Electronic music has existed for decades and has a huge amount of fans worldwide but many times the live shows are criticized by people who are used to seeing shows from other music genres. The main reason is because usually there is no one else on the stage besides the DJ with his electronic equipment. So a lot of people say they are actually not doing anything but pretending. In an interview with ATMósferas Magazine from Mexico (Translated by Blabbermouth)‚ the Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson gave his opinion on DJs Bruce Dickinson gives his opinion on DJs "The music industry has done two things. On the one hand‚ if you're an artist‚ it's contracted‚ as in it's shrunk in terms of the amount of money you get paid for your art. Unless you are some massive social media thing‚ or whatever it is. Or unless you're a DJ who turns up with a memory stick and gets paid five times what a band gets paid and they have to split it eight ways." "He just turns up with his memory stick and pretends he's doing something. (Then) goes away with a huge amount of money. So the world has gone on its ass from that perspective. And there's not a lot that any one individual can do about that. You just have to work with the way the world is." He continued: "I have no desire whatsoever to be a DJ. I'm a singer‚ I'm a musician‚ I have bands and people like that. They all have to make a living playing with me. So I do the best I can to make sure that everybody's happy. Everybody's making a living and we can go out and play great music. In terms of the way that records are sold — well‚ records‚ downloads‚ things like that. I think it's a lose-lose situation for everybody‚" Bruce Dickinson said. During the same conversation he said that platforms like Spotify should raise the price of the subscription. Because by doing that they could pay the artists more. Another thing the musician criticized was the price of concert tickets nowadays‚ saying he would never pay a huge amount of money to see U2‚ for example. Bruce Dickinson was born in Worksop‚ Nottinghamshire‚ England in 1958. He started his career in 1976 and first achieved fame as the vocalist of Samson. But things really changed after he became the vocalist of Iron Maiden in 1981. They became one of the best-selling bands of all time with an estimated amount of more than 100 million records sold worldwide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEEm61impBY&;pp=ygUQaXJvbiBtYWlkZW4gMjAyMw%3D%3DThe post Bruce Dickinson gives his opinion on DJs appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
