"You were always looking for beauty because it was such an ugly place, whether again on a subconscious level. I mean, I don’t think I saw a tree till I was about nine. I was surrounded by factories and nothing that was pretty, nothing."

ICONIC. One of the rare instances where band members go from one amazing and highly influential band to, in my opinion, form an even greater band. To top it all off, Hell split and formed the Voidoids. So we had Thunders/Nolan = Dolls/HBs and Hell = Television, HBs, Voidoids. Not too damn shabby.
