'Sopranos' swan song has cast out of whacks (Wizbang Pop!)

"The Sopranos" came back with guns blazing at last night's premiere of the show's final season, but cast members admitted the Radio City gala felt a bit like a mob funeral.

"It's sad," said Michael Imperioli, who plays Tony Soprano's nephew in the HBO series. "I didn't know I was gonna feel this way until I got out of the car. The memories just welled up."

"I'm heartbroken," said Tony Sirico, aka tough guy Paulie Walnuts. "It's been a journey of a lifetime. We've all become friends. This feels like the last night."

Star James Gandolfini hailed the "humor, humanity and courage" of "Sopranos" creator David Chase.

"He had the blue-collar work ethic and he brought a lot of blue-collar people together to make something quite exceptional," he said.

Edie Falco, who plays Tony's wife, Carmela, agreed, saying, "I stand by my husband."

The series begins April 8.
