I will never forget you Sandy and as long as Paul has these amazing videos I'll always see you and feel as though your right here, miss you "Wild Thing" R.I.P.
Its so wonderful to hear that gorgous voice thank-you Paul especially for this, but for everything, she loved you so, you all were her "BAND" and you always will be!!xoxoxo You's were true friends unlike others take care of "you"xo
When i see her it reminds me of that part in the movie "Me ,Myself and Irene .When the two dykes are at the cafe and Jim Carrey takes the cigarette from the one lesbian and takes a drag and says to them both "How's it hangin Fellas"!!Classic .Sandy looks like her name is Jeff to me ,course I didnt know her like Paul did but Im sure she was a hell of a construction worker RIP.
Hi Paul, hope your still doing great, sorry love still can't get through to your channel, I don't know why, when I click it, it says this channel is not in service, has anyonelse told you this, its so odd, thanks for your msg, I was glad to know you are okay!
I love to come here and watch this, and listen to her and you all, wow the memories as you well know, God Paul, how many nights for that matter days too were we at that studio, it seems like we should be able to just hop in the car again!
Does anyone have any idea where I could download some bootlegs of the Sandy West band or the ep 'the beat is back'? or would anyone kind like to send it to me through mail?. It would be really appreciated. All this stuff is so hard to find and it really hurts that I can't listen to it all. Anyway, thanks for sharing all the videos, phonepkh! I love Sandy, she's a big inspiration to me and I'm sad about all the stuff she had to go through. Rest In Peace, Sandy. I love you!!!!!
@NathalieVicious good luck with that ...rare is just that RARE, we that played with SANDY WEST have her music, we share it, on sites like this, as we can we release it, but out of respect for her family I never just give out what was SANDY WEST's music, SANDY knew I put out these videos and she contacted me because of these videos,
I was trying to find SANDY I posted the 1st video WILD THING live, I still have live tapes but I have to go throught them, but My schedule is INSANE these days, and it takes time to do it....keep an eye out for the future when I can release stuff.
Paul I am super worried about you I am not able to accsess your channel and can't figure out why, I hope all is well please let me know you are okay thanks, your friend always, Bobbiexo
I would really like to see Lita, Joan, and Cherie reunite again for a Runaways show due to their Runaway movie being out. That would be so cool. Theyd have to get a different drummer due to Sandys death, but still be sweet and just think of all the extra cash they could cash in with.
This will always be the "REAL" Sandy West Band, the best of the best always and forever, Paul I like to think she helped him when he was so very sick, he thought so much of her and I know that she knew that, thanks again my dear friend for sharing this awesome memory with us! You know she was there for Tony too!
THE RUNAWAYS albums, and all these songs are rare , she had a record but she released it,to fans through her Fan club collectors Item. she influenced so many Girl bands, you name it!
Not That I am aware of except someone Bootlegging Some Songs posted Here or By Other SANDY WEST BAND members posting any Songs ...besides that Not That I am aware of. any CD's
sorry
Paul.
somewhere there are lots of Rehersal tapes, and Recordings, so maybe where they get found like the stuff I posted after Finding in Old Box
I listen to her play, I close my eyes and for just a short time I am back at the Blue Moon, Sandy,Paul,Tony & Gregg are all there its awesome and man can she play these were such happy times, God knows how bad I wish for just one more day just one oh God what I'd give! Paul it was so special of you to share this special memory with us all, it means oh so much! God Bless! Sandy oh how I miss you, somehow I believe you know, I really do!
Yeah That was really the BEST SANDY WEST BAND, and if it was around now ... it would have been BIGTIME, for SANDY, sad they are now making all these RUNAWAYS films and other Things surrounding a truely World changing band, after THE REAL FOUNDER PASSED AWAY...why could this not have happened sooner? when she spent 20 plus years HOPING? Just sucks SANDY cannot partake in What she help Make Possible. i think it is really SAD. R.I.P. my sweet friend luv Paul
@phonepkh I agree....it seems she was hit the hardest of all from the breakup...and they have to wait until this beautiful kick ass woman passes away before they make a movie. I bet she looks down from heaven smiling at how much she was loved by people!!!
She is gone, but she will never be forgotten too many of us loved her and we will never forget her, this video shows yet again how amazing she was, she never got her biggest wish the reunion tour, but she is up in Heaven and I believe she is playing with the best of them and in no pain, miss you badly!!!!!!!mexo
she was teaching me how to play drums about a year before she went to jail the last time...my mom didnt want me talking to her cuz she was on drugs again so we lost touch. 2 years later we got a call saying she had passed away, i regret not going to her funeral (she died 2 days after my uncle died). thank you for putting this up, i really needed to see this.
Thanks so much for putting this together, Paul. I knew Sandy back in the 1970's. When she came to Austin, she came out and played with my friends and I. I moved to Cali because of her!! I lived with her for awhile while she was doing session work and she helped me and encouraged me while I was trying to make my way in CA.
Somehow we lost track of each other, but she has been trying to reach me in my dreams. I just found out she's gone now and I'm just devastated... Everything said rite
this was a great video production, for a great drummer !! did she tear those drums up, or what. cant believe i never got to see her. would buy her music, if i could find it.
Paul, all I am gonna add is well done, oh my I also saw the video your replying to oh my this is the BEST reply of them all, perhaps a few who didn't know better now will, thanks Paul for all you do and have done, God but she is missed, I look forward to seeing her again and I know I will oneday!!!!!!!! Love Bobbixo
Just saw this great tribute! Sandy looks like she's havin a blast bashing away on those drums. She left us far too soon. This was such a fun clip, and her spirit will always inspire the young at heart!
Ya know Paul, being as I live so darn far it makes it even harder so I often come here just to be able to see her, it is as though I am still right there watching her sing it, thanks again so very much and I hope that you and your's had a Happy New Year,all the best in 2007, Bobbi
thanks Bobbi , been busy @ the Grammys,also working GREASE the Tv show(it's money)
These videos are for You and All of us that Loved SANDY, this is how we can go back there and remember those days,
as long as YOUTUBE remains...that is how long these Videos to our Friends memory will remain, as I hope she would get better so we could play again,can't do that now ,
but I can ease the loss for all of us by the small amount of SANDY WEST BAND I have.
Paul I don't know why things happen, but I do know you Gregg and Sandy will always be the Sandy West Band, how much she loved to play and with you,you did and still do so much you are amazing don't ever feel you aren't she wouldn't want you sad ever,love Bobbixo
The Starwood? man that has been gone so long ago,I saw the KNACK...GoGo's etc there, yep it was a great place, but the Council banned music there so it closed, sucks, oh well what else is new
I saw the band originally during the seventies--Sandy would always talk to random fans. Can you imagine Cherie, Joan or Jackie doing that?
Years after they broke up, the band attracted serious collector types around the world. There was serious talk of a reunion which never happened. I mean, can't they reopen the Starwood and just jam together 300 or so fans in disco shirts to watch 'em? well, guess not. Wolfgang could still open for them!
Paul this is beautiful beyond words, I am sure Sandy is smiling down from Heaven, you are so special for doing this, she had an amazing friend in you, thanks so much for sharing it was precious hearing that sweet voice and laugh!
Sandy you are the best drummer who ever lived!
You will always be the best. <3 :)
