It's nice to see and hear the other two for a change, aldo it would've been great if Johnny and Jerry where there since there's not too much interview material from them. And yes, I agree with Waldo being underrated, I love his music and bands (hope they come to NL soon..) By the way, lots of great bands are underrated in my book. Sometimes unbelievably so.. There's so many great bands from the past who remained cult/underground, (and I love them for it too..) I rather see a favourite band in a club environment then in a big stadium. More intimacy. But I think if Thunders would've got a lot of fame and fortune, he probably wouldn't/couldn't handle that, (like a lot of heavy drug users) There's lots of bands who crashed and burned in the end because of all that crap. I think I would. *Waldo will manage though...* PS: RIP Billy :(

Another legend of New York rock n roll has left us. RIP, Walter.

Great interview ❤ R.I.P. guys

Wonder if he was cremated or burried , can't find info on that .

Every video I've seen of the Heartbreakers I can't take my eyes off of Walter. He's got great stage presence. When I had a second hand tape with Lamf I thought it was just Johnny singing & playing guitar. I didn't know about Walter until KZread. Very underrated

Paul. There actually is a Heartbreakers gig up on here without Johnny. It sounds ok actually but as you say Thunders was the focal point with the cool name who made two great albums with the Dolls and So Alone too. Ps When the Heartbreakers made a comeback in 1984 and they released the Dead our Alive VHS. I thought Waldo was wearing that hat because he'd gone bold. The fool. He should have left it off cos he still had his hair. It made them look older than they actually were.
