Roger Daltrey
We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.
Roger DaltreyI wanted to be in a band that shared ideas and were in it together.
Roger DaltreyI have to tell you, and I don't mean this as sour grapes or anything, but it is hard to play for fans who see you all the time, makes it much harder.
Roger DaltreyYou're better off being a brick layer if you're going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.
Roger DaltreyI always used to develop a cold going into the studio.
Roger DaltreyI think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn't be able to recall it.
Roger DaltreyI don't like Tommy on Broadway at all. I like the music, I'm pleased with Pete's success but I don't like what they've done to it.
Roger DaltreyI know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.
Roger DaltreyNo, I was two years older than the other guys. I was a war baby. My family were a lot poorer than they were. I'd had to fight too hard for anything I had in my life and to smash things up for me.
Roger DaltreyI don't think there's any way it could have failed. We don't know failure in this band. We didn't know failure. We got to know it a little after awhile but at that time there was no such word.
Roger DaltreyPart of the early Who career was all about knocking people's confidences out.
Roger DaltreyListen, I never, ever thought about getting a second job. Once we came to America it always felt like we'd made it.
Roger DaltreyI think Pete did have a hard time as a kid with his appearance. But don't all kids have a hard time? God, I had a hard time, too. I was little with bow legs and rickets. I used to get picked on like everybody used to get picked on.
