That's neat man! Mike Mesaros was the reason I got into bass in the first place, and Blood And Roses is one of my fave songs to play to, as is Top Of The Pops.

Sad that Mesaros isn't with the lineup anymore, but he definitely lent some dimension to the band, as well as some mystique, as he never seemed to say anything or give an interviews.

I know he did some work with 50's icon Dion awhile back, lending his bass skills to the band. The Smithereens make me proud to be from New Jersey!

I absolutely love The Smithereens.I saw them on the Smithereens 11 tour at the Diamond Club in Toronto.I've got to say they blew me away.I was right under Mike Mesaros bass set-up and was deaf for three days afterwards haha.A hugely underated band whom I reckon should have been massive.I love their diversity and their guitar sound is second to none.My favourite song is a Girl Like You.It's an absolute classic.

The band just isn't the same without Mike Mesaros on bass anymore, although "Thrilla" seems to do pretty well. It's just that for most of us Jersey boys, the Smithereens will always be remembered as four wild and young guys who brought us fun music, and in a very diverse range as well. The Smithereens truly were (and still are) a band that makes the best of their musical diversity, but noone can deny that this time period was their heyday!

That section of the AC boardwalk got washed away by Sandy.

Outstanding Rocking fun.

Eternal Band!!!...

[Joe McPartlin]

I've never known-going back to 1988-how these guys never got the maximum airplay they truly deserved. Fresh, clean, honest and damn good fun. Rock music has degenerated into absolute mindless filth, I have no time for it. Kids, adults, everybody likes this stuff. WTF? Go Smithereens!

Great Band ~
