So... what's this movie going to be? Is it a Who bio film, or is it a Keith Moon bio film... or is it "Keith Moon Meets The Zolgoms of Boogle-Boogle" or something?

Hmm. Another comedian goes for dramatic acting.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I think Mike Myers has a shot at it. He's a pretty talented guy.

Also...I have to root for him by virtue of nationality. :D

Go Mike!

Moony was brilliant as Tommy's mad uncle in 'TOMMY'.
Only decent thing about the whole movie IMO.

I'm not a big fan of Myers, but I reckon he could pull this off.

I concur. Moby Dick is cracking stuff. Or just cop the sound of the drums off "When The Levee Breaks". Mind you that might also be a bit of Pagey's magic production ... in a stairwell at Hedly Grange... wibble ...

er....

Mike Myers'll have to lose a bit of weight to look like moonie tho'

eh... Tommy the film ... Ollie Reed was alright too , and the Acid Queen iron maiden bit scared me to death as a nipper!

... and seeing Clappo absolutely smacked out of his head playing in the church bit
... wonder if the graffitii "Clapton is God" ever freaked him out?

Mariyn Monroe statues good as well

...yeah the film was alright ... the kids' are alrighhhhhhhhhhhhhtttt! ;)

Of course, you can't dust for vomit.

I have to disagree.
JB was the king of the big kit and fancy pretend drum solo. Everybody knows the old joke , how do you know when a stage is level ?
A:- place the drummer on stage and if the drool seeps out both sides of his mouth the stage is level.
I like Moby dick and some of Bonhams drumming on Coda was IMO under rated.
The thing is though, Kieth Moon was thee original wild man of rock. His kit was'nt large or pretentious but he battered the living daylights out it. None of the pretentious stuff either.

Moon FTW. :)

Besides best drummer evah is Neil Peart of Rush fame. :P

Isn't there just the slightest possiblity that Mike Myers will just be... Mike Myers? I have never seen him do much where he wasn't just being his usual stage self personally. Not that its a problem, as I think he's funny, but he seems a bit of a one trick pony to me.

As long as he doesn't decide that for important characterisation reasons (i.e. another excuse to do his piss-poor accent) Moon has to be fucking Scottish.

errr ... I know what you mean. Moonie was not a very technically proficient drummer but he had tons of energy and power and was incredibly flashy, flamboyant and entertaining. He was the original wild man drummer. Although the early Who days he played a 4 or 5 piece kit later he was the drummer with the *biggest* kit in rock !

Mitch Mitchell was another ace drummer from that era.
