- Clem Burke: "The Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F. is absolutely one of the most brilliant rock’n’roll records ever made. I put it up there with anything by Eddie Cochran, Little Richard, Yardbirds, Kinks - it's in that league." He also talks of Johnny Thunders, his admiration of Jerry Nolan, the New York Dolls, etc. From the 'L.A.M.F. Live at the Bowery Electric' DVD with Walter Lure, Tommy Stinson & Wayne Kramer, this clip is one of five bonus interviews.
Here's a 17-second clip with that above quote to share:

A huge Heartbreakers fan, Clem is quoted in the new 'found' L.A.M.F. sleeve-notes "You could call them the punk rock Beatles. Each person really stood out". It's from Curt Weiss's book 'Stranded in the Jungle: Jerry Nolan's Wild Ride' (Backbeat Books), found at all good bookstores.
'L.A.M.F. Live at the Bowery Electric' is now special-priced on DVD, vinyl and CD, at: jungle-records... - and elsewhere. In 2016 original Heartbreaker Walter Lure got together with Clem, Tommy Stinson (The Replacements) and Wayne Kramer (MC5) to perform the entire 'L.A.M.F.' album in New York City. Guests Jesse Malin, Liza Colby and Cheetah Chrome also joined them onstage.

Bless Clem's heart to be so complimentary to the Heartbreakers. I think that shows a lot of character on his part.
Just being honest...
Why character? The Heartbreakers were the biggest band in new york, bigger than blondie at their peak. And they were an incredible rock and roll band. He’s just calling a spade a spade, no humility or magniminmnous required. Not all bands become internationally successful and it has little to do with talent
I read so many times that his idol was Keith Moon - so far so good but this is the truth
Rest in Powder

Yep mate I agree with RnR

Great insight by Clem. You can see that as far as the Heartbreakers were concerned he was a fan of theirs first and foremost. No professional jealousy and no slagging the members on their personal demons. Mr. Burke is a class act all the way.
He's classy just like Nolan was he was also Elvis Ramone lol
@@leahflower9924drummers are often the proudest classiest people in any band, or crazy slobs. Lead singers are extroverts, bassists are the most practical and often the best personalities, and guitarists are pretty much always damaged social outcasts .
I met Jerry and Johnny when they lived in Stockholm, Sweden. Healthwise, they were pretty ok back then, thanks to the methadone program they were on. Jammed with Johnny several times and he was a sweetheart. It was unreal for me, a young drummer who grew up on Iggy & The Stooges, New York Dolls and Ramones, playing New York Dolls and The Heartbreakers classics with the man, the myth, the legend. Clem Burke is such a class act, the way he speaks about The Heartbreakers...
Jerry was one of the best drummers i ever heard, even though he was pretty sick at the time, and i only played with him a few times i would have to check myself and turn around and realized that Jerry Fucking Nolan was playing drums. i have to admit, it was pretty cool. also, a prince surrounded by the rest of us.
Pretty good yourself Joey.
Love to crank up Pirate Love and listen to Jerrys drumming.
Clem is no slouch himself. Excellent drummer!
Yes but Nolan might've been better? Lol I forgot clem played on the LAMF anniversary thing
Clem is a fantastic drummer!!
Just listen to dreaming by Bkondie...nuff said.
Found 77 Mixes just arrived......most excellent!
🤣
Clem, you’re a great drummer! Saw Blondie and Rockpile in Sacramento at Memorial Auditorium. Good show!
I was at Bowery Electric for the first L.A.M.F. show in 2016. Clem held it all together. Tommy Stinson was beyond stoned
Thank you Clem for what you said. I miss ya' buddy. Hope to see you soon. xo Phyllis
Hope you're doing well Phyllis
Clem burke and Deborah harry the pride of the Garden State lol ❤️
He talks about playing at the Ritz with the original lineup in early 1978 or thereabouts. So, naturally, the only photos used here are of a decades-later “tribute” with only Lure still around from that lineup. Another example of what Clem’s talking about.
The reason for those photos is that this interview was made for inclusion in the DVD film of the L.A.M.F. tribute performance Clem took part in. So entirely in context, actually!
0.45min 'John showed up 3 days later for the gig at the Ritz' 🤣😂🤣
Beautifully said
another thing. i recently saw Johnny Depp playing in a band of his. he was wearing an armband and a hat with LAMF on it. i wonder if he knows who those people are?
Depp was a musician first before he had ever thought about acting so I'd guess he does.
He does. His band the Hollywood Vampires featuring Alice Cooper and Joe Perry just released a cover of "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory"
🤣😂🤣 certainly no RnR 🍻💊🍻
Merle Allin got a new LAMF tattoo on his forehead he may be the most dedicated fan lol
@@leahflower9924 got nothing to do with The Heartbreakers and it looks the same crappy as his other tattoos 🤣😂🤣 RIP GG
If you've not listened to New York Doll's have a noze, fukkin amazin and John Thunder's n the Heartbreakers 👏👍🏴☠️👏👍🏴☠️
Elvis Ramone
