EvanG Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Nice, Pirner is one of my favourite songwriters! Soul Asylum deserves a lot more credit, they were paving the way for all those alternative rock bands in the late 80's and early 90's yet most people only know them by ''Runaway Train''. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwick1 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks Brando for the interview. Dave is such a humble nice guy who comes across extremely genuine. He is one of the great song writers of our time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Tommy joined Soul Asylum because Karl Mueller, the bassplayer, died of cancer and he wanted the band to continue after he was gone and Tommy to take his place. They are from the same city, grew up together basically. So Tommy ended up playing on two Soul Asylum records and touring with them for several years. This is from one of the first gigs with Tommy, you can see Tommy making funny faces at Pirner to help him deal with playing for the first time without Karl, which was really hard for them obviously, they had been a band since the early 80's.
