I didn’t know Walter Lure personally but I gotta admit I cried and cried when I found out he passed. They all deserve to be in the rock n roll hall of fame. I will always love the Waldos too. What a good man and an inspiration to me personally.
Waldo was probably the most rational of the band and he was pretty out there at times. He was very patient with John, which would’ve tried the most patient of dudes.
Rest in peace, Walter. Always a gentleman, a crackin' guitar player and a great frontman in his own right. Many nights he carried Johnny on his capable shoulders covering both of their parts. His output with the Waldos solidifies his legacy as a songwriter with a great ear for hooks and melodies. A legend of New York rock n roll. Sad to hear of his passing.
The drummer sadly passed away from aids related issues. Sadly. He got clean and was an advocate against drugs and helping other with aids. Very very sad.
Reconozco a Jonny como uno de esos vatos que se la rifan por si solo, pero Walter era la cabeza de los Rompe Corazones, admiro la paciencia de Walter hacia Johnny.
I and and many other people are still waiting for that movie to cone out! And I don't mind waiting a bit. But we are waiting for years now, and I am starting to wonder if it ever will be released
Always great to see Walter talk about those days when the Heartbreakers were still playing together, even after the band officially broke up in 77 or 78. It said from an upcoming film, Johnny Johnny Johnny......when can we expect to see the film? I'm always excited to see any film about Johnny. And I know Paul has some amazing footage of the band, as well as Johnny playing with other people, I'm sure it's gonna be great. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully sooner than later.
I saw a version of The Heartbreakers at Berkeley Square in ‘81. Show was cut short after 20 minutes, when Johnny broke the tailpiece on his LP Jr, hitting a heckler on the forehead with his axe. Rock’n’roll!
Great to see Walter Lure getting some well deserved recognition. For me personally, he co-wrote with Jerry Nolan what I thought were all the best Heartbreaker songs and he sang them and played most of the leads. One Track Mind, Get Off The Phone, All By Myself, etc, etc, etc. And the Waldos Rent Party is also fantastic
Fabulous, thank you. Always great when Walter gets his due.....an artist's artist. If there is any interest, I have done a mini documentary on Walter.... #151 The Great True Punker Walter Lure & The Waldos. this is located in my channel. best, steve
FlipSideCT absolutely! I grew up with this stuff 👍👍 Actually Walter isn’t the best singer but that’s what was great about that era. If you knew three chords, you had a band!
@@written12 I thought so too, but no, he was just cleaner-looking. It was a huge problem for him even as a stock broker trying to live a normal life, he just always seemed more put together, and I think his education also plays a part.
What a shame ,What a talent ,Loved seeing Johnny at Max,s back in the day but i saw him like this every time i saw him ,very rarely would he be onstage without doing to much junkie business first ,Why do people gravitate to a needle when just about every single kid growing up hated needles but would sacrifice his body to the many track marks and exploded veins on a body made of Puss! Don,t know how he would be able to play guitar and stand on stage like a weeble wobble and not fall on his face!This is not by any means to say that woul,dnt happen but when it did it would be on very high doses and he would in those induced comas stop a song and just start babbling ,sometimes incoherent and snap back out to continue the rest of the song! Sad to see him deteriorate before your eyes over the years but like so many greats their lives go out like a candle in the wind and wind up in many books and docs! He will be missed !
I remember walking into the record store and seeing it on display. Grabbed it right away. One copy at the store in Richmond. The only reason I was let in a band was because I had that record
I, too, have a copy of L.A.M.F., and also a 12 inch single of Chinese Rocks. Audio on the LP is atrocious, but the single is wonderful. There's a clip on YT about the poor pressing of the disc.
@@ottowes oh I know. Nolan quit cuz of it. I love it, and the Richard Hell album from 77 and the Bollocks album to the ends of the earth. 1977 rocked. Ramones 2nd album, Never Leave Home. Ramones. Pistols. Heartbreakers. Richard Hell and the Voidoids. The Clash Self Titled US and UK releases... 1977 for so many reasons!$$
It took me a while to realize that without Walter I wouldn't like the heartbreakers nearly as much. He takes the lead all the time. Usually cause johnny is too fucked up.
"wrap it up, call it art now your record's up your ass"?. original line was" now your record's in the charts" but Walter( R.I.P) I think, was often frustrated by johnny trying to ruin every show
I don't think Walter would agree with you there. In Waldo's book he mentions a phone call he got from Sid Vicious. Sid wanted to form a band with him. Waldo didn't think it was a good idea because of Nancy being around but also because Sid was unreliable and that he thought Sid couldn't sing either. Which I thought was a bit harsh. I thought Sid was a great singer. As much as I love Waldo I think Sid was a better singer who never got the chance to do more than 3 singles and a live album of covers. Sid's version of Walter and Jerry's song 'Take A Chance' on Sid Sings is much better than all the the Heartbreakers' versions.
Aw, sad to hear of Walter passing away tonight 😕RIP

When did Billy Rogers die? I'm thinkin' around 1997 or 1998.
Mis respetos para Walter Lure, me cae que él sacaba adelante a los rompe corazones y admiro su paciencia hacia Johnny.
I still cry inside for all of them
They are in the " Rock n roll constellation" , steer your boat by the Stars.
Waldo was probably the most rational of the band and he was pretty out there at times. He was very patient with John, which would’ve tried the most patient of dudes.
LAMF is an instant classic Walter is such an underrated guitarist he often took the leads
Flinchey Walters GREAT!
@StevieBlues66 no-only Subterranean Jungle not the early LPS which had almost no solos THANK GOD!
Rest in Powder ☠️💣☠️
He wrote half of LAMF!!!
We were the lucky ones to see these shows live. You can talk about the Stones and any other rock act. THIS was something else words can't describe. !
Totally 💯 agree with you
RIP Walter, one of the absolute greats.
Walter Lure, Legend, gone to soon. - - R.I.P. - -
he was fucking 71, what do you mean? who the fuck wants to live forever. Im 60 and doubt Ill make it another few years and Im fine with that
Rest in peace, Walter. Always a gentleman, a crackin' guitar player and a great frontman in his own right. Many nights he carried Johnny on his capable shoulders covering both of their parts.

RIP my friend and former Financial District boss Walter! 1 of the coolest dudes I ever met.
He was indeed a great fella
I have a soft spot for Walter.....loved his book too. Nice to see Billy Rogers in this, so handsome, and another one gone way too young.....
Sad to hear Walter's gone. Nice fella.
RIP Uncle Waldo
Great gig we did at Siberia in New Orleans with the one and only Joey Pinter.

Heartbreakers still end up on my turntable at the end of the night.

Getting ready to read Walter's book...so glad he wrote it before he passed.

hashysh13 Read Walters book
Will it ever come out?
@@DDios-ih9de I certainly will
RIP Walter, now they’re all gone..

Still get so down thinking they all gone now 💔
Once again , GREAT .. I was right up front .Heartbreakers did two sets that night ..
No wonder since Johnny was so cokey.. He went on stage anyway, so hats off... PS: *You Lucky Bastard, seeing The Heartbreakers live..! :)*

All by Myself should have been on L.A.M.F.
@@petemccarry2326 Yes; great song
I fucking love all by myself

RIP, Walter. Thanks for all the great music.
[Walter: extraordinarily humble. Legendary.]

Walter's gone, now, too, RIP.

@Randy Rome Unfortunately I do not have Spotify. Hopefully there will be another way.
@Randy Rome I can not receive large files in email. search YT and find out easily on how to upload a clip.
WALDO !!! This is great , how am I just finding it ????
RIP Walter
They were a great team and Walter was/is a very under-rated player and performer.
Lure, the glue that held every gig together.
Only learned just recently that Walter played - uncredited - many of the guitar solos on the Ramones albums. That says a lot about the man.
Rest In Peace Mr. Lure. Rest well in Rock N Roll heaven!
I wish I could dance as good as Johnny jaw.
[Bruh lol]
Fuck man still bummed he's gone. These guys can never be replaced so it sucks when they go.
Underrated but nevertheless a legend ✨
Rest In Peace Waldo 💔
RIP
Waldo was the magic on that album
Amazing...love it
No no no Walters gone?
Always underappreciated
RIP :(
Rest In Peace buddy
Awesome, thanks for the interview and upload!
Luv ya Waldo! ;)
Legend.
WALTER 😥😥🎸🎸rip mate you sexy sod xx
I saw the Heartbreakers many times at Irving Plaza in NYC. More than once Walter sang since Johnny was too wasted :-(
💙💜💚💛
1:25 Love the annoyed look from Rath ......Walter just ignores Johnny .
WALTER LURE BOOK COMING OUT MARCH 2020!!!!!
And the book is amazing!
Cant keep my eyes on you, MIA, going steady, cold blood. All time greats, alll JT.
Johnny didn't wrote Can't Keep My Eyes, Jerry did wrote that one,and it's about Debbie Harry
Kind of amazing Walter Lure is still alive. A survivor.
kabardinka1
It’s great but it’s not a surprise.
Didn’t Walter break free from junk a lot sooner and completely than Johnny and Jerry?
@@written12 I thought so too, but no, he was just cleaner-looking. It was a huge problem for him even as a stock broker trying to live a normal life, he just always seemed more put together, and I think his education also plays a part.

😢
goodbye Walter.
So cool. Loved his voice.
Love his accent, youse gawta prawblem wit dat?
The only heartbreaker left
When dose the movie come out man !!! Great stuff not nearly enough heartbreakers/ thunders stuff online

いつ見ても相変わらずモタモタのヘロヘロやね。

I have an original pressing of L.A.M.F.!!

Oh God what was Johnny singing on that stage?! Lol
Don't know but it works!
Time stamp?
He was singing Pills
It took me a while to realize that without Walter I wouldn't like the heartbreakers nearly as much. He takes the lead all the time. Usually cause johnny is too fucked up.
Walter roasting Johnny he was sooo pissed 🤣🤣🤣 hard to believe John was only in his late 20’s early 30’s here he looks so old
Cocaine is the helluva drug for sure
Sad just too much junkie business
THEY WERE A GREAT BAND WITH RICHARD THOUGH
The real real.
What a mess the drugs made. Johnny would have played your living room for a fix.
Johnnie represented Seventies decadence at it's finest but there's nothing chic about heroin kids.💉💊
Fuck looks like billy and johhny definitely took some off the top
00:46
"wrap it up, call it art now your record's up your ass"?. original line was" now your record's in the charts" but Walter( R.I.P) I think, was often frustrated by johnny trying to ruin every show
it was rare, not ''often'' \ "every show". and its fun
@@jonyscrewzo I saw too many-Zal did the same crap in the Spoonful
My goodness Walter you’ve changed lol
precision Brown What do you mean?
He survived and got older?
D. Dios Yeah, we all get old, if we’re lucky.
I love Walter Lure, he is a great singer, he sounds a little like Sid Vicious.
I don't think Walter would agree with you there. In Waldo's book he mentions a phone call he got from Sid Vicious. Sid wanted to form a band with him. Waldo didn't think it was a good idea because of Nancy being around but also because Sid was unreliable and that he thought Sid couldn't sing either. Which I thought was a bit harsh.

Sid's version of Walter and Jerry's song 'Take A Chance' on Sid Sings is much better than all the the Heartbreakers' versions.
To the left.. Svenska nubbar
Go go Sweden.. booze
walter was lead in 90% of gigs cause johnny was too wasted to sing
In this footage especially.
Poor Johnny
Dan Akroyd lost a few pounds
Lot of junkies here
great but the junky element is a bit crap
RIP Walter
RIP Walter.
