Joey Pinter

Joey Pinter joined the punk scene playing clubs like Max's Kansas City and CBGBs in 1973. While having very little commercial success, his guitar style can be compared as an extension of the work of Johnny Thunders; noting this he was recruited to play with the Waldos, Walter Lure's band.
