You could practice your entire life and not play like Keith Moon.  What he had was innate.

I suggest you start drinking heavily and then trash your immediate surroundings.

my parents would TOTALLY love to wake up christmas morning to find that I had trashed our house and passed out drunk on the floor.

preferably covered in vomit.

which reminds me: with so many relatives in the house, i could totally heist some beers without anyone noticing. Hm.

I am always really interested to see people's really idiosyncratic styles of playing.
Keith Moon has a lot of drums that are theoretically the same sound (identical toms, two of the same cymbal) but uses them to make such great sounds. I don't understand enough about drums at this point to get how this works.

I also really like how Pete Townshend plays really simple guitar parts in a way that is awesome.

I'd say that Pete Townshend's playing is deceptively simple.  But he realizes he is in a band with 4 soloist so he leaves room for those other guys to move around.

i was a little alarmed that he said a possible GOF film would be live action..with people, not cats. yeah, the story is the same, and the characters are pretty human, but...what?

I thought I was the only one alarmed by this.

I sort of envisioned an H.R. Pufnstuf scenario, decided that would be right up Onstad's alley, and didn't let it concern me beyond that.
