Pete Townshend is quite the quote machine this week as he promotes Tommy The Musical opening on Broadway, as he is whenever he speaks to the media – these times simply aren't used to musicians who speak their minds so openly and consistently. And while he admitted to the New York Times about how he doesn't really enjoy touring with The Who anymore, his visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon saw him opening up about his past reputation for smashing guitars during live shows with the band.
He may be mostly reformed now, and suggested in the past it was a marketing ploy, but Townshend's ideology about the place of guitars that fuelled his onstage antics hasn't changed.
