Greetings fellow Wholigans!

So this is where we all blow the roof off the joint at 5:15 and then smash our guitars to smithereens, ehhhh?

Just signed up to this 'new' site today, but have been referencing it for several years in it's 'old' format

Have been a Who fan since 10 years old (Woodstock album), saw 'em for the first time at 14 years old -- that notorious June 14th 1974 show in the Big 'ol Barn (MSG) where 4 (count 'em FOUR!) Les Paul's were turned into mere splinters in the space of about 2 minutes ...... got pics of that show, but ran out of film by the time the smashings happened ... oh well ...

Just wanted to say hello, great to be here, and that the new website design is tremendous ... just a wealth of Who info available at this site.

Thank You, Scott!

Hey Tommy Slip Kid-and ALL Who Fans,

I'm new here too-Just in the last 5 minutes I got in! Smile

OK-I am a huge WHO fan as people who know me would tell you...

The difference in me and probably most other fans is that I just became a fan in the last 3 years ...well maybe -actually- the past 7 years!

In earlier years I wasn't into music very much- not ANY music.

OK-I joined a music forum 7 years ago...and one member took me under his wing- Smile

and taught me all he knew (which was a lot) about ALL the classic rock bands!

The first time we did a serious WHO listen I was hooked! We covered virtually all the bands but WHO was THE ONE that got to me, right from the start-and still is!!

I got a chance to see The Who in concert 2 years ago, in Tampa, Fl. What a thrill that was!

OK-I'm here to continue my WHO studies!
