John Entwistle: An Ox’s Tale

“In 1964, “THE WHO” became one of the key figures of the British Invasion, taking the American music scene by storm.  While Daltrey, Townsend and Moon took the stage with their on-stage antics, John Entwistle dubbed, “The Quiet One” stood in the shadows…poised to become the biggest bass in rock and roll.  With his arena-rock days behind him, “Thunder-Fingers” continued down his own path, finding great musical freedom with “The John Entwistle Band.”

In 2002, after years of touring the solo project, Entwistle couldn’t resist the lure of bringing back one of the greatest bands in rock and roll history.  Tragically, plans for “The Who’s North American Reunion Tour” were cut short when on the eve of the first show, John was found dead in his Las Vegas hotel room.

“The Ox” as Entwistle was affectionately known, left behind many fans and several unfinished projects, with his passing, the world lost a musical legend.  A man whose talents surpassed even those of Paul McCartney and John Paul Jones, he earned the title of Guitar Magazine’s “Bassist of the Millenium.”

This film contains the last footage and interviews ever shot with Entwistle.  It’s the one chance for fans to discover the real life behind the man who far exceeded his greatest aspirations.”
