Keith Moon (The Who) • Interview • 1973 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

He spoke like a proper gentleman and was such a handsome looking guy. Best drummer in the world ever! He will always be missed! x

Quite easily the best eyebrows in rock.

Best interview I've ever seen with Keith. He's answering musical questions, a total rarity. He's not drunk (or overly drunk) and he's not acting the clown. He's talking Townshend's process, The Who's process..... I could barely believe my eyes and ears. Only four minutes long, every second precious.

Quadrophenia was THE BEST album the group did. Keith said it right. Rest in peace, Keith.

I always loved him since I was a kid❤ and I was born in 79! He was a great drummer

My mother would have loved seeing this. What a time to be alive!

IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE HOW BRILLIANT KEITH MOON WAS AS A HUMAN BEING AS WELL AS A DRUMMER. THE WORLD IS A MUCH POORER PLACE NOW WITHOUT HIM. R.I.P. ❤️🙏

This is a treasure.

Keith Moon has a different way of doing music. As he said they sound different every time they perform. That’s why history looks so favorably on Kieth Moon’s drumming performance… total genius.

Keith was a musical genius

The best drummer of all time rip Keith gone but never forgotten ❤

So rare to see him not putting on an accent, not messing about. Just being as eloquent as he was able, given how much he’d clearly had to drink. God it’s so sad he didn’t make it. There’s such clear intelligence, understanding of the process, a desire to not repeat musically.

I got so caught up in the interview then it was over after only 4 minutes. Been in love with Keith and his drumming since 1965.

Love keith moon. especially when he puts on a posh voice like an actor being interviewed . he was totally unique !

That was quite a refreshing interview from Keith. He was calm & serious. He wasn't trying to be funny! He was actually acting like a True Professional 🥁 Note : If Anyone says Moon was a Sloppy 🥁 Just listen to thee end of the song, "Bargain" I don't think even Bonzo could of done that 🥁 Roll for 90 seconds!

Great to see an interview where he wasn't hamming it up, he could really dig in.

Not often you see an interview with Keith Moon where he's not doing the usual zany bit. Very good.

I love Keith Moon as a musician & drummer, his HUGE charisma etc, i wish a documentary was made or a movie but it might be too late for a younger audience to care, LONG LIVE KEITH MOON!

I love Keith I wish he was alive when I was... he was amazing! Just so sad he isn't here in this world anymore.

Keith Moon has been my biggest musical hero since I was a kid and I’m 27 now. This is my absolute favorite Keith moon interview all time (even if Keith was somewhat drunk or tranquilized in this) because it shows the eloquent and sophisticated side of Keith Moon that was very genuine and not the “moon, the loon” persona that so many expected or wanted to see, which I thought was very farcical… I think that Loony character that was a rambunctious persona that Keith had to live up to was actually what had likely contributed to killing him, too, in his demise of pleasing everybody else with humor… This interview is so much of what I love about Keith Moon as the soft-spoken genuine person I knew he was deep down, and it shows his intellectual side that isn’t goofy nor coy, nor bombastic or trite… Just the greatest drummer of all time, showing his thoughts on music, which was his passion and love of life. It may sound cheesy, but I really am touched by this interview, so thank you so much for posting it!… Long live The Who and thank you Keith Moon my musicianlbhero - keep on rocking up there in heaven, buddy! 🎉😊
