They were. Manowar took the record away from them sometime in the 80's with 129.5 decibels. As far as I know they still hold the record.

i rented tommy the movie that was good PINBALL WIZARD!

That movie is too awesome. Keith Moon plays a good Uncle Ernie.

<- major who fan :band:

Moon isn't only a great (self taught) musician, he's also just a sweet performer. Alongside smashing his drums, once he once employed a Ludwig Visalite kit to its full advantage, filling the see-through toms with water and gold fish.

All of the drummers that have filled in for Moon at one point or another are very talented and have incorporated their own style into The Who's music, but even those drummer's know that....

"No one can replace Keith Moon, no one."
- Kenney Jones (toured with The Who for several years, and recorded Face Dances, It's Hard, and Who's last albums)

who played the psychotic cousin who tortured tommy?

Yeah, I downloaded a clip of him doin' a solo on the fish set. Kenny jones was cool, but he was no Moon. Listening to all their albums with Moon, and then listening to Face Dances & It's Hard...you can really tell the difference.

Forgive me if ive got the wrong picture but wouldn't the fish die from all the banging lol

He`s great in the movie Stardust

Everybody should see that film

I forgive you. :)
