Carl Wayne (vocals, The Move) : Our act was nothing to do with The Who. We thought The Who were good, The Stones, Beatles, etc, but we were never really influenced by other bands. We were influenced by American five part harmony more than anything else. We didn't consider The Who to be violent compared to us! We thought smashing guitars up was funny, but we were seriously violent.
