  • Our town (NYC) is still rocking. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean you are right.

  • Amazing. When New York really had a rock and roll scene. Those were the days.

  • @RTT8001 I guess New York still has a rock "scene." It's the efing "business" that screwed it all up. Don't know about you, but having to deal with the guys in the business did it for me: watch?v=Z-puKYjvlZk

  • Hey this is a great song and it dosent get any better han The New York Dolls and if you know your music and what its all about, you will get that!

  • These guys are legends man,check out Arthur Canes boots,so cool god rest his soul dudes!

  • @taxidriver508 Ditto my friend. All the folks that pretend to know anything about music should have listened to this, before they passed their "judgement" on the rest of it.

  • awesome

  • Comment removed

  • And BTW, Larry Roth wasn't just nobody. He was also Johnny's co-dependent. They both were competing with each other and when Johnny left NYD, they competed with each other (Heartbreakers vs. The Kids.) I have to say, Larry was the smarter one:

  • @justinbgaga you stupid fuckshit, Johnny Thunders' name was John Genzale. So it's not.. true.

  • @wildfrontierorleans Believe you me, I am not a fuckshit. Just because Johnny didn't talk to me about his heritage doesn't mean we wern't close. But, with every passing year, Johnny became more and more "beyond help" and I'd decided to move on. If you care to hear about it from the "horse's mouth," listen to what our singer (Larry Roth) had to say about him:

    /watch?v=Z-puKYjvlZk and then pass the judgement.

  • And don't forget Alice Cooper (Vince Fournier,) who has done more for the music than the "pretenders."

  • When I chose this nick (justinbgaga) it wasn't about Justin B. or lady Gaga. It was about making sure I am not the only one who ignores them.

  • reminds me of a mix between Lou Reed and GG Allin

  • They come right behind the Stones in terms of what a rock 'n roll band should be.

  • @Barbeelicious Right behind the Stones? Name me just one RS song that was better than this. There was a lot to learn from a lot of bands in the 60's and early 70's but none better than the Dolls. Both in presentation and delivery, but mainly in the substance.

  • @brightandsunny9 Angie? Simpathy for the devil? Come on there where a lot of better RS songs.

  • @MrCherubhair1

    Angie or any other RS song??? Not as good as this one. RS were just pretenders. You'd have to listen to early Jerry Lee Lewis or Chuck Berry to see what music is really about.

  • @justinbgaga Rolling stones where pretenders? Are you serious? Are you looking at this video? The lead singer is totally trying to be like mick jagger. The way he moves his hair every thing, if anything these guys where the pretenders. The songs i listed where much better.

  • @MrCherubhair1 It's not about how you toss your hair. It's about how Stones were exploiting U.S. music scene at that time. All they managed to do was to bring our music to their shores. When RS started to distinguish themselves from Beatles, all they managed to do was to "steal" our music. Beatles went about it a little bit smarter, and started to "promote" our music into "Pop."

  • i like them, because Morrisey like them

  • Amazing the influence of this band on Mötley Crue, The Ramones, Aerosmith and many others. They're great! (and yes, he looks like Jagger a lot).

  • what?? the dolls are just a fucking punk version of the stones! i can even hear elements of brown sugar on this! this is a ripoff....

  • @PrisonBreakFilms How much weed were you smoking lately? Check out one of the earliest New York Dolls on record in Max's Kansas City on Union Square in 1972-3:

    watch?v=8k2O7WVDHMA and tell me if you see ANY resemblance to the Sones?

    The Dolls were the groundbreakers independently of the Stones or anybody else, for that matter.

  • @justinbgaga oh hello "justinbgaga", yes i will totally listen to your advice.

    please stop wasting my fucking time.

  • @PrisonBreakFilms

    You may not understand the "irony" of my nick. My nick came out of desperation, not out of any kind of support of Justin B or lady Gaga

    justinbgaga

  • Comment removed

  • @brightandsunny9 sorry, but i don't see how that nick is a stab or a tongue in cheek reference or anything like that towards justin biever or lady gaga.

  • @PrisonBreakFilms It's a reference to what we conceive as "music." Some Gaga or Bieber have no concept of it. My "exposing" it helps the future generations to stick their tongues into theirs (where the sun doesn't shine).

  • @justinbgaga i don't really see how your exposing it too future generations. all your doing is adressing justin biever and lady gaga in your nick.

  • @PrisonBreakFilms Take a look at where I am "exposing" them,.on NYD's song? And, you think this the only way and/or venue it can be done?

    Fortunately, I've lived though it at the same time they had. Give a listen to watch?v=Z-puKYjvlZk and you'll hear what Johnny Thunders was like (towards the end of the song.)

  • God he's copying Jagger

  • @skromnaya lol sort off he looks like Mich Jagger too

  • hey fag face justin gaga.. so johnny was a wetback beaner by your most intelligent comment right? sounds like a mexican broke your lil fag heart and butt cheeks ... or perhaps punked the shit out of yoyu in high school so bad that you miraculously fell in love his wetback charm.... i would really love to show you a good time per jose gonzales .... they sissies compared to my lovely antics......! fuck u and lady fake cunt ass man lady faga ga! cheers

  • their image was too girly I think ...they were look like transexual people !! Anyway...that was like 70's glam ! Their music also was KICKASS !! They were a total Punk rock band ! It was so ironic that this band influenced so much the punk rock bands !! And remember that punk didn't like that style of glam rock...like slade sweet etc and a glam band influenced them !!!

  • Rolling Stones = New York Dolls = Motley Crue

  • @Grongo237 Twisted Sister

  • why are men in heels attractive all of a sudden

  • @cstakolich Men in heels are *always* attractive!

  • Imagine the comments Beavis and Butthead would have had on Gaga and Bieber? Huh?

    I'd like to think that Beavis and Butthead would have been far more ameanable commenting on these "sissy" bastards like Johny Thunders and David.

    BTW, check out what we'd been playing around 1979:

    watch?v=Z-puKYjvlZk

  • Nice band! Reminds me of Stones or something. :D

  • @ClubDominoEnglish

    Except!!! The Stones were just about DEAD in 1973 due to the dawn of disco "era." These guys never gave up and kept it going for a lot of bands (until about 1979-80) when the frigging disco hit it's dusk and punk rock was at it's best!

    Trust me, had New York Dolls not done what they did (you should also listen to some of their later work,) rock (incl. punk) would have had died a long, long time ago.

  • @justinbgaga I like them both, man. And worlds most famous rock n roll band today IS Stones.

  • @ClubDominoEnglish

    You are wrong! The world's most famous "band" is Lady Gaga and (my "favorite") Justin Bieber.

  • I find myself coming back to this video every now and then and I've got to comment like it's the first time I've ever seen it.

    The most important punks that have ever performed have at some point or another cited the Dolls as an influence and Johnny Thunders is only tragic because of all the talent that died with him so I don't think their brilliance is really debatable.

    Also, 53rd/3rd was an intersection in a gay area (like WeHo [L.A.]). That said, I love what the NY Dolls repped.

  • that drummer be chewin some mean gum haha

  • @jettcenterfold lol That shit was GOOD, too. Bubbleyum™.

  • @jettcenterfold Marky Ramone, Slim Jim Phantom... Everybody kept the rhythm chewing bubblegum

  • sick boots!

  • Johnny Thunders fuckin rocks

  • Comment removed

  • Asheton to Kramer! I thought I had spent quite enough time with those suckups.

    Quite a lot more than I needed to. David and Jose @ the time MC5 flamed, were WAY above that bullshit.

  • It's true Jose Gonzales (Johnny Thunders) was on heroin 24/7. And that David wasn't exactly a guy you would want introduce to your parents as a future "son-in-law." but neither one of them was a sissy!

    They have done what no other could have!

  • @justinbgaga If your such a fan of Johnny could you please correct all the mistakes you made in the videos that you commented.This is so annoying,but Thunders real name wasn't Jose Gonzales but John Anthony Genzale jr. Also he wasn't mexican but Italian with Sicilian roots. If you him so well as you said you did in another video,then I really don't know why you don't even know these facts.

  • @8754richard I only repeat what he told me when we were together! I have absolutely no idea where you got the info about his "Sicilian" roots! Believe me, I've had plenty (mostly unpleasant) encounters with Jose. Even though I thoroughly acknowledge his talent, as a person, he wasn't exactly something to brag about.

  • the new york dolls are the only punk rock and hardrock group that is true to a t doing the original idea of punk rock rock no one else punk could even compair to them axcept the sex pistols,berlin brats aka the mau maus and only thoes three punk bands started it all and are true to the true punk idea where the bands are outragious and the fans were tame not rabid tame punk shows make for future punk shows rabid madness at a punk show gets punk shows canceled

  • @monsterbucket97 It's just as a friend of theirs, it doesn't feel right listening to people (not you) just stressing their "doll" stature. Believe me, when I first met David and Jose (Johnny) in a rehearsal studio on 31st and 7th avenue and we listentened to them before they listened to us, it was ALL about punk.

    Just to make sure you get the whole picture, I hope you understand punk meant more than just listening (incl. pussy and gualudes.)

  • No New York Dolls meant no punk. They WERE punk since 1973, before Sex Pistols and the Clash "picked" their brains up.

    Like in this one: watch?v=Ct9aBySJkRQ

  • @monsterbucket97 You totally misunderstand NY Dolls. They were never about glam and make-up, even though make-up played a large role when they reached their peak 1976-1979. I've (or better said they have) lived with them for a long time. They were the ORIGINATORS of punk. The crap like make-up meant nothing to them.

    When they started around 1973, there were no Sex Pistols or the Clash. All of those bands had to learn from NY Dolls how to do punk.

  • @justinbgaga You realise that the sex pistols members already had a punk band before they renamed it the sex pistols? These guys where not the originators.

  • @MrCherubhair1 What is it about? Who was "established" sooner, or who had done more for Punk (and the music in general?)

  • Buster Poindexter

  • I loved this song when I was three.

  • I can relate to this song.

  • Wow. This is legitimately one of the worst bands/songs I have ever, ever heard. An uncharismatic Jagger knockoff and uninspired songwriting. I can see how this led to the creation of the drivel that is punk rock.

  • @iamaheron utter fucking bollocks

  • @iamaheron You don't know shit.

  • @iamaheron well they're still going and still got a legion of fans. Can you come with music that can influence and inspire people like they do?

  • @iamaheron if you dont like punk rock slag off the new york deserve resepct you really dont know about real music from the heart new york dolls made clothing for alot of rock bands that came before them slag off new york dolls hater you are are not hip or even remotley cool to diss the coolest rock band in the unaverse

  • @cron205 They made clothes? Cool, a bunch of sissy boyband posers, just like the Pistols.

  • 60% of these guys are dead - not to mention the previous drummer. ... shoulda listened to Nancy Reagan and just said no to drugs. They coulda been one of the great Rock groups of all time.

  • I'm not gay or attracted to men, but fuck, Johnny looks so sexy.

  • Comment removed

  • johnny thunders was the coolest motherfucker, and not to mention possibly the first true punk rock guitarist and one of the best!

  • @oxrjbizzle1984y

    Know your history. Ron Asheton of The Stooges and Wayne Kramer of the MC5 paved the way for punk guitar. Thunders was a joke and loaded up with heroin 24/7.

  • @flagwaver1969 same to you know your history ron asheton was not as good as james williamson for the stooges. fred sonic smith was every bit as good for the mc5 as wayne kramer . and if thunders was a joke why did everybody copy his style and attitude for the next 15 years

  • @lostaglio6666

    That's your opinion. I prefer Asheton to Williamson, and Asheton preceded Williamson. Kramer would be more likable if he wasn't such a back stabbing prick. Maybe it was just the coke. Anyway, few guitarists were influenced by Thunders outside of punk. Punk dried up fast and the majority punk bands that stumbled into the 80's were easily forgotten because they sucked.The ones that were influenced by Thunders aren't memorable.

  • shame it's not live, great band

  • Great band!!!!

  • not davd yohansen,.....did u here the comentator

  • this is the best Rolling Stones tribute act I have ever seen!

  • Johnny is my favorite wish I had hair lie him.

  • Saw these guys in Wash, DC at Lysner Auditorium at George Washington U (I think), they put on a great show!!! But the audience put on a great show as well. Such a fun bad.

  • buster was young in this

  • look for a kiss from a trans. This is why kids listen to rap and hip hop.

  • I could watch Johnny do that hoppy Jummpy thing he does all day long!

    

  • He actually looks like Jagger.

  • It looks like Frank n Furter got all his moves and ways from David Johansen

  • Diggin' those boots, there. I must admit ;]

  • @footbanana13 i so agree

  • Lol @ Him always trying to scope out which camera is on him.

  • @FaShioNISta13245 tell me about

  • Anyone Else love their clothes?

  • ny punk

  • what kind of bass Arthur used ? fender precision ?

  • @okornyalbaro He used alot of basses. He used Fender P basses, Epiphones, Gibson Thunderbird ect

  • RIP Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan and Arthur Kane - without them, how can there be a "New York Dolls" in 2011? Glad I was able to see them.

    PS - Still love David Jo, he's around all the time; recently saw him with only acoustic gutiar accompainient, and he was fucking great! Still has his voice!

  • @headbangingbitch don't forget Billy Murcia, the original drummer!

  • @JoeyArthurOakes You're absolutely right - my oversight. The poor baby, died needlessly at only 21. Thanks for the reminder.

  • @Pakastemamma What? I don't have a big problem with the band. Guys who dress up in frilly clothes and makeup are uncool pansies. End of story.

  • A poor man's Rolling Stones. Thunders makes Keith Richards sound like Eddie Van Halen.

  • @grandabell

    A poor man's Rolling Stones indeed, but.... Thunders makes Keith RIchards sound like Van Halen? Is that supposed to be a compliment on Richard's part? Because it sounds like the exact opposite (seeing as Van Halen is one of the most overrated guitarists ever).

  • bourdain brought me here :))

  • Glam sucks. Glam will always suck. Guys shouldn't wear makeup.

  • @Polyfusia shut the fuck up homo

  • Arthur Kane @ 1.53 - lol

  • its really weird I hate nearly all punk bands yet i love the NYD, even though i wouldnt classify them as punk! they are alot better...

  • @dunvert ......if you love rock music, you HAVE to love the Dolls! Yeah, I don't classify the music as punk, that was their look and way of life. Good hard driving ass-kicking rock and roll.

  • @dunvert Theyre not as good as the clash.

  • i could kill for those blue boots :O
