LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES- OCT 9, 2019…TODAY JOHN ENTWISTLE WOULD HAVE BEEN 75. ENTWHISTLE WAS KNOWN AS ‘OX’ FOR HIS LARGER THAN LIFE ATTITUDE, AND WAS UNIVERSALLY NICKNAMED ‘THUNDERFINGERS’ FOR HIS TECHNIQUE ON THE BASS, ENTWHISTLE WAS BEST KNOWN FOR BEING THE BASS PLAYER OF THE WHO, AND WHEN IT CAME TIME TO CASH IN HIS CHIPS, HE DIED LIKE A ROCKSTAR ! ENTWISTLE DIED THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WHO’S 2002 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WAS TO KICK OFF. HE WAS FOUND DEAD IN A LAS VEGAS HOTEL ROOM WITH A GROUPIE SLEEPING BESIDE HIM. HE’D SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK BROUGHT ON BY COCAINE USAGE FUELED BY AN UNDIAGNOSED CONDITION. JOHN ENTWISTLE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON JUNE 27, 2002 AT THE AGE OF 57.
I FIND THIS FASCINATING. HERE’S ENTWISTLE’S BASS ISOLATED ON ‘WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN’.
THIS IS A COOL VIDEO TRIBUTE TO ENTWISTLE
