In 1979, Johnny Thunders met up with his teenage hero Wayne Kramer of the MC5, and together they formed Gang War. Johnny had just released his ''So Alone'' LP; Wayne was not long out of jail after serving two years of a sentence of four for a coke bust. The band lasted almost a year but no records were released. These live recordings bear testimony to this unique partnership between two rock legends. They also demonstrate the difference between the two as Wayne Kramer has said: "Music is important to me and I value the honor, the opportunity, to be an important musician. Johnny, on the other hand didn''t consider himself a musician. He considered himself an entertainer.
