Of course. But he wasn’t the bandleader.

Oops - I forgot about that. Yeah he’s a Cunt, but I heard this song on the radio today and I remembered how much I loved it as a kid before before the racist prick in him came out…

Can we all agree that -

Derek and the Dominoes

I do think there were some pre recorded tracks that he played to…mainly bass parts.

“Decomposing A Song For You”). There are 2 songs he played on that are still unreleased that will go on my next album.

Besides the rock gigs like Joan Jett & Billy Idol that he was most famous for, he could groove on play R&B as he did w/Willy in Mink DeVille, we bonded over that when we met (cont)

It beaks my heart to say RIP Thommy Price. An amazing groove drummer, fantastic human being and a wonderful friend.

I was honored to have done many gigs with Thommy when we played with Robert Gordon and to have him play on my album The Concrete Jangle (he’s drumming on “All Tied Up” & (cont.)

he just played acoustic guitar that sounded like three people playing at once. It was absolutely mind blowing. I believe he is the greatest living guitar player on the planet.

and that crazy contraption behind him, which is some sort of mechanical / midi percussion instrument that somehow plays by itself, making various rhythms & sounds / pitches. He did quite a few things with looping Pedals so he could solo over the chord changes, but my favorite thing was when (cont)

Pat Metheny at Carnegie Hall tonight was the most incredible musical performance I’ve ever seen in my life. It was solo & mostly acoustic with 10 different guitars. Many of them in his signature baritone tuning plus his Picasso guitar with two sets of drone strings, his Roland synth guitar (cont)

times I played w/ him; Marc In The Park & another Bolan/ T Rex tribute, him including me in his documentary and how excited he was to see the New York Dolls playing again when I joined (he was very supportive of my role in the band, saying “You play the way Johnny wished he could play”.) CONT.

There was a celebration of Clem Burke’s life last night in NYC, I caught some of the afterparty. It got me thinking about this day when Clem & Andy Rourke of The Smiths (RIP) recorded my 1st single with me for Wicked Cool Records, “Gimme Gimme Rockaway” at Little Steven’s studio, plus other (CONT.)

Robert Plant never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge of folk music & blues.

In an interview he did on the Raconteurs podcast he mentioned Big Joe Williams, who I had never heard and I dived down the rabbit hole…
