Johnny Thunders - You cant put your arms around a memory

[jhkrb32]

"Yo Puss"? feeling guilty?

[arnyarny77]

fuck do i have to hear gnr and poison all the time,,,,,such a buzz kill

i wanna hear johnny and hanoi,,, thats all no teenie bopper shit

[arnyarny77]

gnr are horrable for me i grew up in the r&r era then the bullshit hit the fan and everyone stood in lne to eat the delicious shit sandwichs......

[Johnnystrychnine]

Have to agree with reekashade. There is nothing good about hammer and there is nothing good about William Burrows writings only that they were stimulated by illicit narcotics. To make an anthropomorph out of W.Burrows is morally incorrect, but that will always be a moot point by users and non-users. Heroin is bad in every essence of the word. And it should only be used as prescribed medication for heavy pain sufferers. Yes Johnny Thunders was awesome, but at what price?

[FreeZimbabwe87]

@Johnnystrychnine Have you seen reekashade's music videos? That guy NEEDS to do some smack, or get off his god trip. One or the other.

[Johnnystrychnine]

@FreeZimbabwe87 Hey Free, I saw reekashades video it was hilarious. Maybe he does need to do some smack, ha ha. But seriously free, you know hammer is bad news right? And people that have used will either admit it is bad news, if they are sober enough to make the comment, if they haven't made the comment it means they are dead.

[calboy64]

what a song

[jsapish]

johnny was great.......johnny sap

[wearesowrong]

It doesn't pay to try

All the smart boys know why...

[meatriot]

LAMF!

[timndrsb]

i shot dope with him and GG Allin

[Secure81]

@timndrsb Did you really? That would be badass minus the whole deadly drug part haha. Did you know Miles Davis used to snort lines with the stooges. Beautiful song though reminds me of Above by this local band The Electric Flamingos

[RedBullMaster13]

So lange Johnny Thunders Lebt so lang bleibe ich ein Punk!

[Messi6919]

The Soprano crew and the FBI hang out at Satriale's.

[KidCanary]

What version is this? It sounds different to the one on the So Alone album.

[faulknerma]

Bought this as a 45 at a record fair. turned out to be badly warped. still a great song though. wasted me money ironic eh?

[andcar121]

and L.A.M.F too - yup up there with the best !!

[nonirockify]

my son just walked in and said "All gone" followed by "it's okay" when music finished. Kids are too cluey. He hasn't heard this song in years. any7hoo, rock in peace absent freinds

[nonirockify]

my 6 year old just walked in and said "All gone" and started crying. He's never heard this song before. So for all my absent friends "All gone" but "it's okay courtesy of the b eautiful Sam. ?rghjuyjuyugykmkmkmkmkjkkj viy

[nonirockify]

Too many memories unlocked by this song. 10 years down the track, still brings the grief rushing back. Which makes it a classic song. Bless you Johnny xoxo

[Kiiiiwi]

I can put

[okorjelodjubre88]

4 people dont know how it feels to be all alone

[11xzxzxz]

Everybody stares and everybody hoots

Johnny always needs more than he shoots

Standing by a beach and there ain't no lake

He's got friends without no guts, friends that never ache

In New York City, I guess it's cool when it's dark

There's one sure way Johnny you can leave your mark

[machbaby]

@11xzxzxz ...And Johnny's gonna die...Johnny's gonna die

Na na na na na na...

[11xzxzxz]

@machbaby And then Bobby Stinson's gonna .. Bobby's bonna Bie after Princess Di .. Hey he had a nice voice and strum .. I hardly heard of him before the Replacements. Do you like him and what is his best work, if so.

[machbaby]

@11xzxzxz Actually, I didn't know much about Thunders, either. I just knew he was in the New York Dolls and faced a tragic, seedy death that awaits all too many heroin addicts. But yeah, the guy had an honest, raw talent about him- much like Bob Stinson.

[11xzxzxz]

@machbaby Yeah I fully agree. Bob was great and had the luck to meet up with genius Paul Westerberg (or he was when he was a Replacement) v David Johanson who is just quirky imo.

[11xzxzxz]

Johnny always takes more than he needs

Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads

Johnny always needs more than he takes

Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks

And everybody tells me Johnny is hot

Johnny needs something that he ain't got

And Johnny's gonna die

Johnny's gonna die

Johnny's gonna die

[tatethompson1234]

Never noticed until now for some reason, hes using Walter's Les Paul in that picture

[179rich]

Well, Keith Richards came out OK. I can understand someone wanting to feel an 8 hour orgasm 500 times greater than the best sexual orgasm they ever had.

[krayzone1]

Reply to reekshade.You're right.It is never cool to do heroin, but it feckin is nice.

[timjessa1]

who forgot ?? dont fuckin talk for me asshole. i listen to johnny daily, and he'll never die in my book....

[angrysamoan666]

@timjessa1 Yes my man, say it like it is.

Johnny was a shit we all love to forget

[s0uthernComf0rt]

fuck St.Georges day...happy 20th deathday Johnny. looks like the world forgot :/

legend.

[reekashade]

So sad that some people think its COOL to do herion.There is never a happy ending.

[FreeZimbabwe87]

@reekashade So sad that some people think it's COOL to moralise for the majority on a youtube page. Make your own choices, live your own lives, create your own art based on your subjective experience of life. If you're anti this or anti that you're just blocking your own experience of this ride.

[reekashade]

@FreeZimbabwe87 So sad that YOU feel its OK for a person to poison their body and live a life of depravity.If you wish to defend social injustices in life,I suggest you get out from what ever rock your living under and realize that life is a blessing.I WILL PLANT MY SEED ON FERTILE GROUND THAT SUSTAINS A HEALTHY PRODUCTIVE POSSITIVE MESSAGE.YOUR SEED MY FREIND FALLS ON BARREN LAND AND ROTS LIKE PIECE OF FRUIT PLUCKED BEFORE ITS TIME ,BLESS.

[Hister333]

@reekashade That's the part I don't get. I've watched the movies, and seen the people. Anybody that thinks they can outsmart it, are either stupid, or Johnny Thunders.

[diewunderkammer]

best break up song EVVVER!!!

[carrotcrow13]

god i wish johnny would've been around for the Dolls reunion

[robinmccready]

johnny thunders IS rock n roll, and this one of the best songs ever made

[Winstonpotrescu]

I usually prefer originals but this guy sounds too effeminate, I think G n R's version is infinitely better. sorry!

[robbierape]

@Winstonpotrescu That's silly. Two different worlds. Plus I'm sure Axl would disagree with you're statement.

[robinmccready]

@Winstonpotrescu check out the live versions, voice is more husky

[pennyja2002]

heartbreaking



[missburn]

Sopranos brought me here <3

[MrNortek]

4 people sucks

[rizzlaxl]

he best mellow song ever. a true classic. really heart felt

[dirtydoctor5]

I had my songs that made me want to do H. This wasn't one of them but I know what you mean. In the end, putting on a good song and poking around for a vein wasn't too special anymore as by the time this song would be over you might still be trying to find one...... Pandoras box....not worth it. Once you try it everything else will be mediocre...for a long time after.....

[KurtMoss]

fuck yall

[JHDELIVERY22]

What a amazing song :)

[prissy1229]

makes sad

[idontwantohurtnobody]

every time i hear this i wanna try some heroin....im sure if you do it 1 time just to see how it feels wont hurt. but i heard its a good idea to have your sex partner with you....i wonder why....

[jkuebler89]

@idontwantohurtnobody ill save you a lotta hurt. DONT do it. Pandoras fucking box. dont wanna open it and know what its like. cause after that point in time you can never go back.

[MultiCapobianco]

@idontwantohurtnobody your gonna hurt your mum, and ya won't get a hard on twat !!!

[svenzia]

[svenzia]

[staercky]

Wow - never hear this before! It's incredible!

[mathhias42]

[SirLoins1014]

Only 3 dislikes. That speaks volumes.

[timjessa1]

[kurtizzyflush]

@timjessa1 I think it may be too late for that dude.

[timjessa1]

@kurtizzyflush ...amen bro. too many opinions, not enough listining !!! stay cool !!

[TheDannysays]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhh

es lo mejor

[guitarfreak290]

I really really love GnR and Motley Crue but no one needs to compare Johnny Thunders to no one cause its FUCKING JOHNNY THUNDERS...Enjoy the music guys doesn't matter who wrote what or who can play better than who just enjoy the music....

[simokoskinen]

Johnny was the greatest. We can put our arms around the memory.

[simokoskinen]

Johnny was the greatest. We can put our arms around the memory.

[smithsfan92]

countless bands and artists have covered this and i can see why

[Ultimatetruthseeker1]

This is not Johnny Thunders,so fuck off!!! And Guns N Roses were amazing, best rock band of the mid eighties. Pretence belongs to TV, I suggest you go there HaHaxlxW you silly fuck!!!! "Get in the ring"

[vampiregirlgbg]

@Ultimatetruthseeker1 This is Johnny Thunders......... I know!

[AnarchyIzzy]

@Ultimatetruthseeker1

Guns N Roses may have been the best band of the mid eighties, but Motley Fucking Crue were the kings of the sunset strip. Johnny Thunders did write this song, not Guns N Roses. Do some fucking research next time before you start spitting out random shit again. Way to quote guns n roses dumbass.

[mokkakikkeli1]

@AnarchyIzzy gn'r and crue both sucks. Motley crue may have been the kings of sunset strip but johnny thunders is the king of rock n' roll.

[mynthon11]

@Ultimatetruthseeker1

Happy 58th Birthday Johnny Thunders!

[Desiree50]

HAPPY 58TH BIRTHDAY JULY 15TH RIP.

[brianlowdown]

love u thunders you will live long past your bad night in neworleans ....brianlowdown s.f

[pos6666666]

Dax Riggs does a good cover of this.

[brianlowdown]

@pos6666666 did u hear this song 30 years ago or from daxx the faxx

[ilexgp64]

don't try

[kendostick58]

God. WHY DONT THEY HAVE THE REAL VERSION?

[Badapplesss]

who cares if guns covered it they did it as a tribute and when they were all at their most fucked up as a band Duff really looked up to Johnny and was annoyed when people thought it wass theirs origonally. Both versions rock cuz its a kick ass song but Thunders is the master and gnr weren't trying to change that

[kootenaygirls]

so perfect for one of my life moments - thank-you

[3mexico]

this is such a fuckin badass song.. but i keep stumbling upon the acoustic version :s fuck it tho i dont mind

[astralplanejunkies]

first time i ever heard this awesome

[weenerwallet]

yeah..agreed..no comparison with johnny thunders material and guns n roses.

I'm 19 and I gotta say..this stuff is solid gold..I want more of this stuff played in my generation and furthermore.

We need to start making good music!!

[CiggyNo9]

This will always be for Davey A. Michels.

Love you brother, rest in peace.

Sept 4th, 1988 ~ March 3rd, 2010

[TheRepoManHimself]

Sheer brilliance, you're just a bastard kid, you got no name, 'cause you're living with me, we're one in the same. HUGE Thunders fan, of course.

[kiskehello]

i love this and the two versions (GNR's and Michaels's)

[1jackmoff]

i wish devendra banhart would record his version of this song, it's amazing

[damnpuppies]

The Guns N' Roses version is good. Instead of bashing artists, why not just listen to the music??

Anyways, great song. Johny Thunders is da man

[TheOpiumDistrict]

But you can put your arm around a mammary. Hi-yo! Yes thank you thank you.

Beautiful and sad song. Any way it's sung.

[NEiLiUM666]

lmao!

[TheOpiumDistrict]

:) Thought I'd be yelled at for that one.

[MelooGnr]

This Song is Four you Johnny !! (8)

[Kuuuuuntz]

Hey Johnny kannst du uns jetzt sehen wir vergessen dich nicht...

[Hanoi247365]

Love this song - Michael Monroe does a good version - not better, just different and a nice tribute. Johnny RIP.

[buttcheeksonfire]

johhhnnny tthhuunnndddaaaaa

oi

[badadviceman]

I'd have to agree with Richard. The GNR version is little more than an attempt to cash in on this classic tune.

[NickEricaJosh]

Duff of GNR was a good friend with Thunders. When Johnny died, GNR did the song as a tribute. It wasn't an intent to cash in. I think you will find that Duff really looked at Johnny Thunders as an inspiration in a tragic kind of way.

[mystificus]

You can say that again

[logbumz]

version of guns n roses is much better i guess

[8754richard]

Are you totally stupid or what. This is the man who wrote this great song. And this is the acoustic liveversion. But there is also a electric and acoustic version, both studioversions. Guns and Roses version is shit compared to every version of Thunders.

[8754richard]

This is the acoustic studioversion I meant ofcourse.

[zuss10r]

Damn right. The only good cover of this i've heard was by Ronnie Spector, and that was on the JT tribute album, with good reason.

[HaHaxIxWin]

don't you even think about comparing fucking guns n roses to Johnny Thunders.

[xxTwistedxChickxx]

straight up. Guns 'n' roses in't worth fuck.

[gedsace]

@HaHaxIxWin guns had have talent.the dolls had lipstick.

[ChazISaCrueHead]

@HaHaxIxWin I love Johnny, but,Guns blow him out of the water musically. Guns are on par with the likes of the Beatles .

[Merioc2k3]

@ChazISaCrueHead

Far from it. If you ask me, GNR has never ever written a good song. But hey, not everyone likes the same kind of music, right?

As for the song, this must be one of the greatest songs ever written. The lyrics have a meaning, a great meaning even, the chords are simple yet it sounds so damn good, and this will most likely always be my favourite song to play/sing.

[dannyyyyj]

@Merioc2k3 gnr has never written a good song? I stop reading your comment after that.. Obviously you're out of your mind.

[Merioc2k3]

@dannyyyyj *cough* Retard.

[dannyyyyj]

@Merioc2k3 Damn you must be a smart one.

[dannyyyyj]

@ChazISaCrueHead musically, guns > beatles..

[kieran514]

@dannyyyyj for chrissakes shut the fuck up

[dannyyyyj]

@kieran514 haha okay boss..

[joshua0226]

@HaHaxIxWin different music both amazing artists thats like comparing led zeppelin to pink floyd

[megafaded69]

@HaHaxIxWin GnR doesn't even try to compare themselves to Johnny

[Labialterror]

@HaHaxIxWin agreed! G n R can fucking suck it!

[okorjelodjubre88]

@HaHaxIxWin guns n posers

[kurtizzyflush]

@okorjelodjubre88 Pistolas and posies!

[jocksilver7]

@HaHaxIxWin you sirrah are the highpriest of inyourface rolled-up-sleeved diplomacy and hell, doesnt that sound righteous! Don't have to say it again! Let Axel clone the guy i n Nazareth at will and leave Saint Johnny alone...so alone!

[navik8]

@HaHaxIxWin they just did their tribute to Johnny, they gave their best to honor the legend and to keep Johnny Thunders name in the ears of the generations to come.

If I didn't listen to GNR song I would never know who Johnny Thunders was.

[thankgodforbeef21]

@navik8 ditto man :)

[tmashrick]

@HaHaxIxWin fuck off

[Punkerstyle9]

@HaHaxIxWin yeah but guns cover its the greatest cover of this song and a great version too i mean the solos and the voice are.......speechless:D

[OrgadEyal]

@HaHaxIxWin

There is no comparing. GnR version is 20 times better.

[Dagyo23]

@OrgadEyal Your opinion sucks

[arnyarny77]

@OrgadEyal conformist modern day follower

[September0013]

@OrgadEyal Yeah it is. but still Thunders was great.

[clementles]

@OrgadEyal GNR Version is so fucking ridiculous, like all there songs...Memory is the JT song, nobody has the right to cover it ;)

GNR are just a stupid heavy metal/ Rock FM band, nothing interesting, nothing rock'n'roll, just money.

[crazypainter72]

AWESOME FUCKING SONG
