Too many people reveal songs.
Theres no surprises left with concerts these days, cause everybody wants to see the setlist.
Im f—ing sick of it.
As Daltrey suggests, there are now entirewebsitesdedicated to tracking the setlist once artists embark on tours.
The Internets ruined the live shows for me, Daltrey complained.
Who wants to know whats coming next?
People forget about surprises.
I cant stand it.
We dont use a tape loop for the instrumentation, Daltrey said.
We do it on real instruments.
It just takes it off the rails and gives me more room as a singer.
Want more movie news?
Im not gonna do the scream.
Im gonna get the f—ing audience to do the scream, he said.
Ive done that scream for 55 years, and Ive had enough of it."
He added, “I dont even want to try it now; its brutal on the vocal cords.
They can do the scream, and Ill do everything else.
Im more into singing these days.
At the age of 80, I think I deserve to be.
