Yep Gazza totally agree about the Who. Was lucky enough to see Entwistle. Tho the three guys thing does hold some water for me. When ACDC brought back Phil Rudd on drums it made them suddenly authentic again for me. A band that formed in 74 - original guitarists and drummer, a bassist there from 77 and a singer who has been there since 1980. Tho Bon Scott is irreplacable.
