I wish i could be there for this today...

Thank you my friend!!

We know...the good & bad 😜

Like Johansen used to say about The Dolls:

'We somehow influenced both punk & heavy metal...sorry about that.'

(i'm paraphrasing)

My dream car - '68 Mustang Fastback.

And this would sound great on the stereo system:

Many thanks again! I'm just glad that you 'get it'.

Dolls fans who come in with expectations of trashy rock or XTC fans who imagined pristine pop may be surprised.

(A man is not only his work...and a musician is not only his gigs) 😜

Thank you for your kind words mate! So glad you liked the music- and glad you were pleasantly surprised by it!

(I get it, those who became aware of me playing punk rock in past 20 years think my music may be similar-but I’ve been making all kinds of different noise for decades)

Happy Koningsdag to my Dutchies!!

Middletown...I've had some 'times' there Stevie.

My Matawan & you guys were football rivals, in my day anyway....

Incredible....on both counts.

Brother - it was THE song that I came into my own on as a singer in my earliest bands.

That's because we both love Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Marvin, Stevie... right?

I loved touring with you when I played w/ Billy Squier - listened to your in-ear monitor mix many nights!

'This is fabulous, a great amalgam & feel.
It's here...it's now...it's FOREVER! It's music.
It's not what I expected from Steve Conte.
The Concrete Jangle is wonderful'

(The problem w/ my career is people think they know what to expect from me! ~SC)

Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: Steve Conte's New Album Beguiles! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steve…

Thank you my dude - just listened to your new one!
Some hilarious shit in there brother…

Go check out Don’s new comedy album recorded Live @ McSorley’s (with an intro by Lemmy!!)

Steve Conte ↙️ Agreed! Ironically both Sly and Steve are both on the playlist this week on David

Good stuff in here - what I came away with was:

Rick Rubin is a knowledgable guy, really tuned in to the creative process - but the things he says are what we artists instinctively know already!

We just have to trust ourselves & get out of our own way.

well, ya gotta look at who influenced the bands you love...

hanoi = dolls / stooges
sly = hendrix / james brown

(i grew up on rock & soul music, hence my choice)

If not THE greatest live band ever, they're the most visually & musically exciting band!

Check out Larry Graham - has there ever been a more badass bass player on the planet?

Sly & The Family Stone
Los Angeles 1969 - Live Studio Set

Yes, my mind was blown - those exact words.

You wanna know what a Hammond B3 organ & a B3 player should sound like?

THIS!!

#ChesterThompson absolutely RULES!

And as mind-blowing as his hands are -
listen to his FEET playing those bass lines!!
