The Who's John Entwistle Dead

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the put-on-my-red-boots-and-take-a-long-long-drive dept.

crazyj was among several Slashdot readers who, knowing my obsession with the greatest band of all time, submitted that The Who's John Entwistle died. His death occured one day before the start of their summer tour. The Ox was an amazing bassist, and I'm glad I got to see him play. Those fingers would just fly up that fretboard. He'll be missed.

    Taco, please tell me, because I'm confused. How can you think The Who is the greatest band of all time, and still like (or even listen to) Eminem? WTF?

  2. OASIS?? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Umm, Oasis had a few catchy tunes that they ripped off straight from Lennon/McCartney. I hardly think that qualifies them as one of the best bands of all time.

    My list:
    The Jimi Hendrix Experience
    The Beatles
    Led Zeppelin
    The Who
    The Allman Brothers
    The Rolling Stones

    If everyone realized how much fun it currently is, the courses would be too crowded to enjoy.

    I'll quote Richard Patrick of Filter on this one... "Yeah that new album 'The Flaccid' fuckin rocks man... whatever..."

    You know, I am getting really sick of geekdom. C'mon people. Some stupid ssh vulnerability probably generates 700 replies and this barely generates 300. Pahthetic. Get a life. Go outside. Listen to some rock n' roll music. Life is not staring in front of a CRT (or LCD) for 8 hours straight. Fuck I'm a geek for those previous CRT and LCD acronyms. Just live your life. It's short.

    Love,

    Sorry to destroy your fantasy, zealot, but after you die your body decomposes and that's all she wrote. Any conscious thought which was electro-chemically created in your so-called brain terminates shortly after the moment of death and then unless you have passed your genes onto offspring or have fundamentally altered the course of human existence, you might as well have been never born at all.

    Gullible religious zealots like you make perfect fodder for Al Qaeda recruiting drives. Thanks for making the world in which we live so tolerate and enjoyable. Fuckhead.

    Can't believe this guy gets /. billing and George Harrison didn't. Want to talk about contribution to the world?

    Two stupid lousy bands that require the brain-deadening effects of pot to "enjoy".

    You don't even know who he was, do you? Not only are you a troll, but an anonymous cowardly troll. If someone kicked your ass, they would be a hero to me. A hero is someone to look up to, and admire. Anyone who ever picked up a bass guitar viewed Ox as a hero, and many rock music fans who never touched an instrument did, too. I know I risk getting modded down for profanity, but FUCK YOU, YOU ANONYMOUS COWARDLY TROLL! EAT MY SHIT!
