I can't believe they're going on tour as the Who. 30 years ago, Keith Moon died. John Entwistle died 6 years ago.

I would love to see those two live, but not as the Who.

Anyone with me?

They are the Who, anyone who thinks other wise is full of shit.

Would Pearl Jam be Pearl Jam without any of the guys? Meaning: Stone, Jeff, Mike or Ed?

I don't think so. See my point?

Not the same.

I think that's different just on the basis of, as I've said, they carried on as The Who after Keith died.

but I see what you're saying and I think it holds true with other circumstances. Was Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio "Black Sabbath" umm....no. Was Pink Floyd really "Pink Floyd" when they were recording without Roger Waters. I say no.

But The Who with Ringo's son on the drumkit? I'll take that. It's all in good fun.

Pearl Jam can't carry on as "Pearl Jam" if a member leaves. and at this point, that even includes Matt.

I don't think so. They could lose one member as long as it wasn't Ed.

Dude. We have worse musical catastrophy's to worry about...I wish that American Idol crock of shit would be nuked off this world.

Along with any other stupid ass talent tv show for that matter..

Sharon Osbourne has no talent,
and David Hasselhoff is just a douchebag.
