Walter Lure is always great to see in action with his band The Waldos, I met now second time with that gentleman. Like you know, Walter was a member of the Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers. Walter also promised to do with me book interview and he has already sent first answers, like he wrote how Dee Dee was cutting hair of one Heartbreakers member in 1975... and for the first time Walter openly talks about the extensive role he played during recording sessions on the three of the Ramones studio albums. The Ramones never made mention of him playing guitar for them on the album liner notes. He also give some wonderful memories about the Ramones members and visiting Johnny and Linda. (You can find interview from Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives).
... The Waldos played only Heartbreakers (you know background of Chinese Rocks...) songs and audience loved set with reason. Too Much Junky Business and Chinese Rocks are diamond songs. The Lucky Devil Circus Sideshow is also familiar to the audience of Joey's Birthday Bash audience from previous years, they were doing their tricks in-between sets, like sword swallowing.
