That is original and current guitarist JIM BABJAK not John Roskosny.

Good interview. I loved the opening. :D

[@manxuberglider8]

Jim and Dennis at 7:57! In my middle age I appreciate how much promo was probably made up on the spot out of nothing, and ..”action”. Well done! Love this band. RIP, Pat. Thanks for uploading!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you found and enjoyed it

[@doccyclopz]

What a great band they were.

[@samlelowitch]

They still are a great band, just without Pat DiNizio.

[@doccyclopz]

@@samlelowitch Wow, didn't realize they had stayed together

[@samlelowitch]

@@doccyclopz Yup, I saw them two summers ago in Annapolis MD with Marshall Crenshaw singing lead and playing rhythm guitar.

Thank you Scottish TeeVee for uploading this. I’ve been missing more older clips of the smithereens. Especially of Pat. Didnt the band Open up for U2 at one point around this time? I thought I read somewhere they did

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I have more to come, including interviews with Pat. I don't know about opening for U2, perhaps another viewer may know. Thanks for watching Gael.

@@ScottishTeeVee excellent thank you! I look forward to the interviews with Pat, Man I miss him

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, I copies and pasted some detail from another video of mine which does feature John and I never realised my mistake
