    The Who was not in control of how the venue sells tickets whether general admission or seated tickets. Besides they're also not in control of security or how the fans are allowed in.

    Also MTV was great as long as it showed ONLY videos and many classic videos were made just to be on MTV.

  • This is going to be controversial, on this page, or at least worth thinking about.

    The day Andy Wood decided to pick back up the heroin.

    Sure, if it didn't happen we wouldn't have PJ. But we'd have Mother Love Bone and Andy Wood. I'm partial too because I grew up with him.

    Layne Staley RIP
  • Just thought of another one;

    The day Tupac decided to join Death Row records. Could have, quite possibly, been what killed him and biggy both.

    When The Tap added the "Mach 2" to their name and opened with "jazz Odyssey". Thankfully Nigel rejoined soon after!

    Keith Moon taking a handful of Heminevrin and then going to bed.

    is that exactly what I thought I read."

    This is going to be controversial...

    ...Layne Staley RIP

    Layne Staley not getting off the junk is also one of rock's biggest mistakes.

    (Don't get me wrong, William DuVall is great and Black Gives Way to Blue has pride of place on my CD pile :thumbup: but) Layne's heroin addiction not only robbed us of one of the 'grunge' era's greatest artists, it also stopped Alice in Chains releasing another CD throughout the late 90s.
