In a new audio interview posted at the band's website, THE WHO's Roger Daltrey "answers some of the hundreds of questions submitted by fans" and talks about future tours, new collaborations and his solo career. A few excerpts (transcribed by Rolling Stone) follow:

On The Who touring: "We're in the planning stages - but we do plan on doing something. I can't really talk about the specifics yet, but it will be based on our past work. I would like to be on the road playing as many different kinds of show as we possibly could. Maybe we'll do Quadrophenia one night and the greatest hits the next night. Maybe Tommy, too, if I can still sing it. The audience would have to take a chance on what show they're going to get."

Future projects from The Who: (Pete Townshend) is "incredibly adventurous when it comes to projects and new ideas and things. When it comes to getting out there and doing it I'm more adventurous than he is. I'd like to get the boat out more than him ... He is writing [a new album] and you never know when that might turn up."

Working with other guitarists: ""I've always wanted to do something with Jimmy Page. Mainly because, what the hell is he doing? What an amazing waste of a talent. He's a genius."

Working with ERIC CLAPTON: "It would be very difficult for us to work together [onstage] because he's doing a very laid back blues show. I think he needs a bit of driving, does Eric. That blues stuff is alright, but you need dynamic. Never forget dynamic. I think we could do interesting things."
