RIP to a great one
Hard to believe that Spyder, Will and Chuck are all gone.
I used to love chatting with Chuck on the steps of Old Krotona in the Hollywood Hills as he took a pause from his daily walk. Always friendly, l got the chance to see him at The Piano Room and loved the show.
Legend...........
The ultimate
scene-maker, Chuck E. Weiss has spent a career hobnobbing with the cool and
famous in rock's hierarchy while barely pursuing a career of his own. Born in
Denver, Weiss was originally a drummer, touring with bluesman Lightnin'
Hopkins. By the late '60s, Weiss had performed and/or recorded with Willie
Dixon, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Roger Miller, and others. While still living in
Denver, he struck up a friendship with singer/songwriter Tom Waits, later
writing songs like "Spare Parts" with him and moving to Los Angeles.
Living at West Hollywood's infamous Tropicana Motel with Waits and singer
Rickie Lee Jones, Weiss became the subject of Jones' hit "Chuck E.'s in
Love." Weiss' career finally stumbled off the launching pad with the 1981 release
of The Other Side of Town, a collection of demo tapes released on Select
Records. Rather than follow this up with a proper release, Weiss instead put
together a band called the G-d Damn Liars and spent the next 11 years
performing a weekly gig at the L.A. nightclub the Central and later partnered
with friend Johnny Depp to convert the club into the Viper Room. After a
18-year hiatus from recording, Weiss' second album, Extremely Cool, was
released on a Rykodisc subsidiary, Slow River, in 1999. Old Souls & Wolf Tickets
appeared in 2001, followed by 23rd & Stout in 2007.
He also used to host the open mic at Highland Grounds at Highland near Melrose... he was an amazing performer in his own right.
Who is he ?
There’s my good friend Chuck E.
I miss seeing you around the old neighborhood. I am forever grateful for your encouragement & support.
Mostly, I miss you as a person. You were the sweetest… and extremely cool.
See ya later. ❤❤
Fantastic!
Rumor has it, Chuck E’s in Love!
Tom Waits Warm Beer and Cold Women reminded me of Weiss. Old times good times.

@@EvilSkeptic or some demons around
Aired 2 - 4 years later this would be called out as racist.
Johnny Depp!! Attention-grabber w/ a truly minimalist contribution!
A ONE NOTE GUITAR SOLO...ONLY IN HOLLYWOOD
Yeahhh... Johnny Depp with expensive Duesenberg guitar and one tone solo. Rock&roll circus.
You're forgetting The Who.
Depp comes in and plays the same note over and over lol not a guitar player.
