Page "Keith Moon" Paragraph 9

Early in The Who's career, they sought to differentiate themselves apart from other bands of the time.

Their live sets culminated in what they later described as " auto-destructive art ", with the band destroying their equipment in elaborate fashion.

These stunts gained them much publicity and press coverage.

Soon other artists, such as Jimi Hendrix, were imitating The Who's stunts.

Moon showed a zeal for auto destructive art, zestfully kicking and smashing his drums.
