You mean Townshend's patented "windmill"? You know that's 100% image and has nothing to do with guitar technique, right?

Just my opinion, but it is hard to imagine the band and a lot of those songs holding their popularity all these years without the over-the-top theatrics (makeup, explosions, breathing fire, Gene flying, etc.) The show has become iconic I think much more so than the music.
I totally agree. We're talking past each other, methinks.
