Pete Townshend – The Who

If you think Pete is all jumping around and windmilling his arms about, then you’d be right, but while doing that he wrote 100 odd songs for The Who, learned the keyboards, banjo, drums and a load of other instruments and wrote scripts and essays extensively for newspapers and magazines. And still had plenty of time for drugs.

Riffs, rhythm, and general backbone umphiness. The rhythm section is the driving force of any band, can they do it or are they just a soloing show off?

Innovation(0-10)

Would you associate this person with novelty and introducing something new? Or do they just do what they do?

Versatility (0-10)

Selected Value: 0

Can they play three chords and move their fingers fast, or is there some depth? Can they play different genres?

On stage Charisma (0-10)

We need someone to look good on stage, some spark to get us off our seats, posing, ecstatic exprerssions while whizzing down the fretboard, that sort of thing.

Off Stage Shinanigans (0-10)

Selected Value: 0

Rock stars need to be stars, they need to live the dream so we can through them. Tellys through the window, tight pants, fun with whichever gender they want to have fun with, all at once all of the time. Or maybe they're just too cool to through things out of windows.
