Very interesting interview!!! Also find Walters Jekll and Hyde existence interesting and inspiring. Happen to be currently concurrently/juggling playing in a rock 'n' roll band by night with my ultra-electrifying low-level health care day job. Keen to know when this was filmed also. R.I.P. Walter 🤘😎👍

Uhh.. I started The Demons with Eliot Kidd. Walter did not know Eliot. We had recorded a demo and a few gigs. Eventually I asked Walter to join us many months later because we had played together in a short lived Brooklyn Band we called The Stray Cats, ( before the other guys).

Just finished. He was so cool and stories he tell are wild. These years are full of rock n roll feelings. Rip like other Heartbreakers.

I think you mean to say Walter worked at the Food and Drug Administration. FDA. Not sure if he went into detail but his band the Waldos played shows quite frequently at small club bars like the Continental and CBs. A lot of those scenes he talked about overlapped but the other big genre of music in NYC at around 79 to mid 80s was No Wave with noise/funk groups like James Chance, the Contortions, DNA and Teenage Jesus. The Mudd Club was a big scene of performance art, rock situations, and visual art also at that time as well. The other thing is Walter didn't go into detail about was Glam Rock which was huge at that time, 72 to 77. He mentions how boring the Prog Rock acts were but at the same time there was T.Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, and an insane hard rock almost Kiss like , Slade. So a lot going on but very interesting perspective by WL.

Speaking of Woodstock there's a direct lineage from Ten Years After's "I'm Going Home" to the Heartbreakers "I Wanna Be Loved".

Love to hear a long interview with Walter, thanx!👍 Lots of punks always talk about hippies, etc. but many of them loved this period, everything got looser. A few years before that period Thunders also loved early English invasion bands and a bit later on MC5, Stooges, etc. Not so much the hippie bands from the East coast just like Walter but bands with a harder edge. Thunders was also at Woodstock in '69, no wonder, cause there were great bands playing for 3 days (!) I don't think there were too many 3 day festivals at the time, (if there were any) specially not with such a great line up. I love a lot of music, from R&R to old soul, old R&B, old blues, the beat period, 60/70s psychedelic/blues/hard- or space rock, German krautrock, the first punk periods, (NY & UK) and the LA punk period or bands like Butthole Surfers, Wipers, etc. + the 80's post punk/gothic period from the UK, or 70/80s Manchester bands, No Wave from NY, etc. There's a lot of fantastic music being made!
