Way back in the day—1999, to be precise—Steven "Little Steven" Van Zandt was not only busy reuniting with the E Street Band for a tour, he was also just starting his role as Silvio Dante in a little HBO series you may have heard of: "The Sopranos." (Talk about a career!)

So, of course, we had to ask! Will he, like the rest of us, be hitting the theater to see the prequel, "The Many Saints of Newark," starring the late James Gandolfini's son Michael as a young Tony Soprano, when it drops October 1? "Oh, yeah!" he says. "I'm looking forward to it!"

Not to mention, he got to see some early cuts! See what he had to say about it all in the video above.

You can watch "The Many Saints of Newark"—or binge "The Sopranos"—on HBO Max.
