I saw Luigi with John many times..My favorite Thunders band..In 1980 they played at Scorgies in Rochester , NY , my band opened , anyhow ,Luigi and Thunders had large hunting knifes on their belts ! ,,I never saw that before from a rcok band . One 30 minute set , GREAT !!

WELL SAID!! !!! SO TRUE ABOUT THE AMAZING UNIQUENESS OF JOHNNY;S STYLE OF PLAYING,!! ONE OF A KIND!!!

Luigi,you did great in describing your legendary band mate.

Really good description of Johnny's uniqueness. He's right that no one can sound like him. I've had to learn songs onstage too! But not with Thunders as the captain of the ship! Haha, close your eyes, here we go...

That's right the fabulous Johnny thunders!

I can't wait to see the whole film. Great stuff !

Looking forward to the film

I once said to a friend "it sounds like he's playing with a hoof". Your wild animal remark reminded me of that

We NEED this JOUNNY JOHNNY JOUNNY !!!!!!#@ Pease Paul

"his style was like a wounded animal crying out for help" I dont think anyone could have summed it up better

I feel like Luigi's how Johnny Thunders would've looked ca now had he stayed away from drugs

You're great Luigi! You explained it perfectly! My old boyfriend said those 50s Gibsons constantly went out of tune; he was constantly tuning it. Lovingly, I don't think Johnny bothered.

I would love 2 see that full show

Nice interview Luigi 🎐

Love it! 👌

LEGEND

This is so precious

Thank you Luigi 🎶cool story

Thanx Luigi !

Nice comments about Johnny.

Great luigi! :-)

That's John..no one sounded like him or could they tried. It made Dee Dee Ramone so frustrated lol But that was just how it was with John He was unique

When is it going to be out? Thanks man, you are a legend.

GREAT !!!

I saw that tour at the Berkeley Keystone that were Johnny smashed a guy name Bo Bo over the head with his guitar!

Thanx, great interview, when can we see the film ?

Lou, you can blow up a Marshall stack with your hair! Too cool brother!

Tremendous.

More!

Luigi babe......nice, shout out to mMJ!

What's happened to the movie can I buy it?

Is the film out????

He should have played some badass mafioso in The Sopranos, this geezer...

I love how this guy talks, not just the accent but his expressions as well.

Better than the shit coming out of some Motel room in New Orleans. Paul and Luigi keeping it classy

The video buffers towards the end of the video

He's talking about channeling. Truly great artists, be they singers/musicians..., are a rare breed. It isn't possible to learn to sing like Billie Holiday or play guitar like Hendrix or Thunders because they themselves aren't aware of the supernatural power they are able to harness. It doesn't belong to them. They are the portals that are somehow able to transmit these energies from the spirit realm and channel them into the physical realm. The ancients always considered music to be one of the highest forms of magic

He really didn't need to hold his nose to sound like Johnny😂, a damn wig and he'd look just like him lol.

Yes 'a wounded animal crying out for help'. I've always said Johnny made sqwawks and squeaks but yeah... A wounded animal 💡💡💡

Paul is this movie still happening?

Well....lve been waiting for a story like this. .. I remember watching the Knots....Maxes and it's a nothing crowd...an Jerry Nolan is spying you guys from the cigarette machine.......he prolly tipped Johnny off about you, I saw The Knots once, and thought; " This guy should be w Johnny."....lt just made sense.

luigi needs a good agent....should be in movies...cool guy

another JT fiasco.....as to why he was a true punka......nice! Thought Luigi was a reincarnation at first. thanks, always great to hear a RnR story..

Reminds me of Joe pesci

luigi....how in the hell you have never been in a movie is hard to figure....you need to tell steven van zandt to hook you up

They stopped at Ann arbor to meet up with the Stooges

This guy worked for Johnny for free haha. He never paid anyone after about 1980.

Luigi is a cool cat, a political moron, but still a real cool cat...
