Interesting piece I read about their upcoming tour, there drummer will be Zak Starkey. It would be interesting to hear Daltry and Townsend, but...

Aren't they putting out a new album? Isn't that the real news?

Anyone heard of the bass player they're using - Pino Pallidino?

He's brilliant on bass. Zak Starkey on drums eh? There's an interesting story in the link below about Zak and Keith Moon.

Pino is great, but not right for The Who.

I saw them at Ashton Gate a few of weeks ago. They were fired up and sounded great to me. Pino and Zak did an excellent job.

Pino is a fantastic player. i have no doubt that he will be able to pull it off.

I have been a big fan of his since his "Paul Young" days with his trusty Singray fretless
