Yeah that was a classic! Norm was mostly Scottish and Irish descent. He claimed to be Polish because that was a way that he would tell jokes on Conan show. He would take a old joke and retell it as if it actually happened to him. So in this case, he would have to be polish for that premise.

Hahaha!

He was the strongest, but Vladistov I think we can agree was the best all around!

No Pole in this history ever was named Ivan. The surname would do

@@LetsGoMetsGo33 It literally says that his real name was Józef Bednarski. No Pole was every named Ivan. It's a Russian name and Poles aren't Russians.

@@mysteriousdoge1298 ok, you win.. but now you know the reference :)

Not as far as I know. But this kzbin.info/door/A6dSc826W3Sgz_xtD0Pwfw YT channel has episodes.

He got the pole in a hardware store

An oldie but well worth repeating!

Greetings, Michal. How many logs actually ARE hauled to Gdansk?

@@stevenbrucci Hello. No idea how many logs but last year over 3 milion containers and 53, 2 milion ton of goods.

Dude, Americans are never gonna understand words like that. You need to use miles.

I am from Warsaw, Poland and missing Norm badly too.

This better not be a Polish joke, I find them to be disgusting!

Agreed with your testimony, also feel gratitude for the experience of seeing Brian and his great band. Wonderful to have him so vibrant, sounding this good. Of course he has his current album of piano instrumental arrangements of his songs, and there is the documentary about him being released soon. These dark times need the music of Brian Wilson to shine some light, IMO! May the audience for it ever expand and grow younger.

Lol, yea. The Polish sausage joke from Conan is classic also!

@@LetsGoMetsGo33 i liked the swedish german better

I guess his bounty hunting days are over

What's the matter, can't take a joke? I've never seen anything to suggest Norm was a racist. To begin with, Polish isn't a race, it's a nationality. Additionally, light-hearted jokes about groups, even if those groups are races, don't make a person racist. Of course if you listen to the leftist and democrats nowadays everything's racist.

@@CSXRobert I guarantee you that @Ultimate Truth doesn't own a doghouse.

@@CSXRobert leftists =\= democrats, Please do mind the difference. Just because they are slighlty more progressive does not mean they are a part of the left and many leftists vote democrat only because they are not as much the pieces of shit than the GOPs are. Norm had the best jokes for his times and he was mainly amusing himself before anyone else which made it even funnier to me. RIP.

He also drives a monster truck though (albeit while delivering logs), and those guys DO own doghouses. So now I don’t know what to think!

@@LetsGoMetsGo33 well,... those who don't own a doghouse AND drive one them trucks there, are most likely to end up under the Queensborough Bridge and we all know what that means....

Yes. Adam Egret is Polish. Or so a Professor of Logic would deduce.

Brooklyn NYC. The club was the Music Hall of Williamsburg.

It's punk...whatever comes out of his mouth, is okay.

Dissatisfied that Walter isn’t an egomaniac, eh?

They were recreating a HBs show, it would've made no sense for him to sing this, duh...

Why submission? I don't know of any connection between that song and JT. Later they did play a Pistols-like version of "steppin stone" (see my upload), because JT also covered that song, and I was rockin out like a mofo to that (while still filming, lol). The one I felt they missed was JT's "London Boys" because it was a direct response to "New York" by the Pistols, so it would be funny to play with Matlock on bass. Then again Steve Jones and Paul Cook played on the original recording (indeed the whole "so Alone" album if I am not mistaken).

Cheetah Thunders. It doesn't have to do with Johnny Thunders, the Heartbreakers, or the New York Dolls. It's more of a personal experience that I can relate to as a heckler. It's because 1.) the first true, already established riff I learned on guitar was the main riff from Submission. More importantly though 2.) When I was a bit younger, me and some friends went to see Thurston Moore play. This was, of course, after Sonic Youth broke up but everything we knew by Thurston was from the Sonic Youth days so we were shouting the names of Sonic Youth songs, hoping he would play them. He didn't play anything we shouted of course, most likely because he was trying to focus on his new solo stuff. We just felt like retards afterwards, and I never heckled like that again, but it was my first real concert / venue. Seeing Thurston was also the main reason why I started playing guitar. This memory just randomly popped into my mind for whatever reason when I heard him yelling for Submission. Sick video though man. I don't know if you were using zoom, but it still looks like you've got a great spot.

Thanks. Yeah we had a good spot. As for zoom, only to the extent that an iPhone5 zooms, lol. Yeah, I don't think Thurston is a "crowd pleaser" type. I saw SY maybe '03? in NYC, and it was a multiple band Ramones tribute. Now I'm a fan and enjoyed their set, they played one or 2 off "Goo" which was my favorite album of theirs. But they didn't do any covers, which is a normal thing to do at a tribute (even though they covered some Ramones songs live in the late 80s). By the way, technically the first riff you learned is (a variation of) "all day and all of the night" by the Kinks (or maybe "Hello I love you" by the Doors? Same riff, but on organ) since Steve Jones admits that's where he swiped "sub-mission" :)

Cheetah Thunders. Didn't play any Ramones songs at a Ramones tribute show. Holy shit, really not a people pleaser at all. I saw Lee Ranaldo once too, and he told the crowd a story about how Kim smashed an acoustic guitar in front of a bunch of hippies. I guess none of them were really people pleasers, or maybe just Kim and Thurston weren't, which would explain the marriage and then the divorce. Lee seemed really down to earth. Never seen Kim herself or Steve Shelley or any of their long list of drummers though. I was not aware of that fact about the riff from Submission, but now that you mention it, it does sound like an off kilter version of All Day and All of the Night. Interesting, thanks. :)

@@user-gq8ly9hk4m Sorry for the late reply. Great post. What is your first language? It doesn't look Chinese to me (looking at your KZbin handle)... assuming your first language is not English, let me compliment you on your perfect English writing! Most of us native speakers do worse than you!

Um, I have the whole L.A.M.F. album. After that, they did encores, mostly from Johnny's "So Alone" album... at that point I had issues with my phone's battery. Now, other people have posted the whole thing, but if you particularly like my footage, name a song and I will post it :)

Any chance you might post it. Walter said the Brooklyn show was good...so looking for any good footage of that. Also LA and SF. Possible compilation for release.

We all mellow with age, no? And it's not the like the guy threw something, the way Mike handled it was funny and he comes off well. But I think there's also something to the "not his stage" theory; as you see, we were close to the stage. At an opportune moment my wife yelled out "I love you Mike!" and I think she was a little disappointed she didn't get more than a half glance. I immediately explained to her "tonight's about Johnny".
