The Who - Don't Let Go The Coat

mrtulipeater Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - Even if it is a weak album, it is an interesting album. Pete's lost years and the passing of the mantle to bands like the Sex Pistols and the Clash. Still, think the guitar line here is one of my favorites: the use of Spanish/country thirds, is quite enjoyable and I imagine was influenced by the more melodic bands of the time (you can hear something similar in the Pretenders' "Kid" - was that James Scott?). Anyway, agree I have no idea what don't let go the coat is in reference to.

badhead Says:

Mar 5, 2012 - no. It is a reference to Pete's religion. Something to do with the teachings of Meher Baba.

1959billyshears Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - now hardcore Who and Beatle fans will kill me....i was just thinking how would they sound? It might be bloody awful, but you must admit it would be interesting

bornwithoutwarning Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - No, this is the sound of legends trying something different and more subtle.

Apr 22, 2012 - Red- right? i agree...and whats worse, I had the opportunity to meet him in person at one of his art shows...aside from being a great musician, he was a damn fine artist and an amazing human being.

karlmoles65 Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - How about Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, Roger Daltrey, Jason Bonham, and Paul McCartney? I'd pay a thousand bucks for seats to that.
