Steve McQueen and Keith Moon

Very interesting read on the two people I didn’t know this
 
Always a huge fan of Steve McQueen. An infatuation with seeing Ali McGraw in the buff is the first redemptive factor I've learned about Keith Moon.
This is a fairly well known story, at least in rock and roll circles.

Moon was F’ed up that’s for sure. There’s many terrible stories to prove it.

Personally I’m not all that impressed with his one alleged redeeming quality, drumming. I mean he was adequate but he was nothing special. Certainly not anywhere near the same league as John Bonham or Ginger Baker.
 
My first thought also and talk about crazy. Ginger Baker had that going in spades.
Who would have guessed that Ginger Baker would out-live anybody ?

So many 'greatest' drummers.....Carl Palmer. Aynsley Dunbar, Mitch Mitchell, ..... some more percussionist, some just power drummers....I'm starting to think Jason Bonham is as good as his dad was, for instance....

But Keith Moon was my first favorite. Except maybe Buddy Rich....

You lose me on the Jason Bonham thing. He’s pretty good but Bonzo he ain’t.

That dude was a monster drummer.

Check out his kit. Most drummers have their toms angled down toward them. All his are flat. Man that crazy bastard could play.

 
I was aware of everything in the article, with the exception of the blasting of the lights. I'd have wanted to do the same.
IMO, Moon was a total comedy of errors, including his time spent on the riser; his drumming matched his life: sloppy. Completely unimpressive existence.
