New York Dolls - Johnathan Ross Show 2006

[Proxylfc]

jonathan was being nice, he was a massive punk fan and truly loved the dolls. lighten up

[JackM2409]

piss off Jonathan, they're dress is cool as fuck, and are legends,

[cuppateadee]

the drugs have done them less harm than johnathan ross he is old and a bit fat and boring

[arealOpia1991]

they still sound the same decades later ... that's the dolls alright and they bring the spirit of the lost members along with them  ... LOVE THEM !!

[TheScorpion667]

These are supporting for Alice Cooper!!!! 2 months to go!!! WOO

[beatlesecw]

@TheScorpion667 I am going to see them in Glasgow in halloween :D

[daven58100]

Remember seeing the Dolls open for Aerosmith when Aerosmith's "Get Your Wings" had just come out. They played at a roller skating rink outside Detroit. I think it cost about $5.

[MrLawman10]

tossers

[RocketMediaUK]

Great performance fantastic stuff

[Mopar604]

I'd bet good money that Ross had never even heard of the NYD's before he was told they'd be guests on his show !

What a sycophantic tosser (with a speech impediment) he is !!!

[roncronton]

@Mopar604 Actually,Ross is a huge music fan,he's big on Bowie,Roxy Music all that great glam stuff,he knows his shit,he's genuinely happy to have them there,he can get any guests he wants on his shows,he doesnt need to fill his shows with stuff he doesnt know or like

[EB1050482]

@roncronton He held the corner shop door open for me and he had a pram, i thought so very gentlemanly of him! He was still in a suit and he was only buying dog biscuits at the end of his street in Hampstead Heath.

[JackWMS14]

@Mopar604 Nah, you are wrong there, you can tell you loves them and music in general.

[Mopar604]

@JackWMS14  ... WTF are you babbling on about ???

[JackWMS14]

@Mopar604 Do you not understand English? Ross has obviously heard of the NY Dolls before and seems a huge fan. I think you are wrong with the assumption that he'd never heard of them.

Jonathan Ross is a massive music fan and you can even see here how thrilled he is to be with them.

Yeah?

[fweekstir]

The dolls are and always will be fantastic. This is really a very good album.

David just keeps gettin better.

[gronx1979]

Love this tune!!! The Dolls have still got it!!! They never lost it!!!

[codebluecary]

i adore the NEW YORK DOLLS!! I am old enough to remember the original dolls and they still kick ass!!!

[rafacatala]

Dignos de admiración, después de tantos años siguen muy bien, no como otros que se arrastran por los escenarios para ganar dinero. BRAVO!!!!

[katoklzmk]

Wow,I'm so happy to see them! And newmusic! Alas.poor Jonny Thunders....

[jonbecker03]

actually, jonathan ross did a good job presenting the dolls. he knows a bit about rock history and had fun WITH david and sylvain instead of making fun OF them................

[Paneeks1960]

What is up with Ross? Nothing like making the Dolls look like complete idiots because of the awful questions. This guy makes american talk show hosts look good and most of them {excluding Howard Stern} are awful themselves. Long live the Dolls.

[DanLetts97]

@Paneeks1960 Tool... you're a tool. I'm assuming you're not british. American television lacks the sarcasm and wit, you have no clue. You'd rather watch Jay Leno? That's brutal.

[Paneeks1960]

@DanLetts97 Actually I am not a fan of Leno, Conan or any other American talk show host. I may watch Letterman from time to time to see his guests such as Howard Stern, Robin Quivers or a good musical guest. To call me a tool is unfair my British friend. I was weened on British music {Zeppelin + Smiths} were my 2 biggest influences. I just think that Jonathan Ross is a bit loud here. To label all American TV as lacking wit shows your limited knowledge in culture. Howard Stern is the best!

[DanLetts97]

@Paneeks1960 I agree... but heres the diffrerence. Guys like Stern exist in the back rooms of satellite radio...they're outcasts. Jonathon Ross is mainstream in England, this show airs on regular television, you would never see a show like this on anything other than The Comedy Network or maybe HBO in america; that's the difference.

[Paneeks1960]

@DanLetts97

 I checked out your You Tube page and watched your drumming video. If that is you drumming you actually play very well. You never know what the future holds? Maybe we will hook up someday and end up playing on a talk show either here or there? In all seriousness, if that is you playing you have some talent.

Boston, Mass

[Ondelay]

who was it said "you can't go home again" ?

[amphersam]

SHOULD HAVE BEEN HUGE!

[queenymax]

absolutely awesome

[STRATCAT101]

The time is perfect for the original Alice Cooper band to get back togeather,like in the "KILLER" days.I know Glen Buxton would approve.I loved The Alice Cooper shows,and i believe it would work out fantastic.

[Jthebig90]

piwates of the cawwibean!!

[23445545665]

are they really gay?

[khanflesh]

@23445545665

Nope. They're notorious lotharios.

[DancesWithJoy]

IMO, there are maybe five living people on the planet who could wear a shirt with their own pictures and not be a tool. David is one of them.

[misspunkchick18]

wow i love the soung they've got here , much more heavier , i love it :)

[nostalgiaramanny]

Johnathan Ross is such a boob.

[cheezencrackers]

Pretty funny. . . in a sad kinda way.

[scruffymeigs]

They do sound different but good. Kinda Katrina and the Wavish.

[Coopernaut2]

Sylvain Sylvain = Cool.

[INNATEHUMAN]

what A track!

[getaefuk]

shit cunts

[JDurden33]

it is a bit fucked up them being introduced as 'the new york dolls' when barely one of them is there and even DJ has done this all before . . weak as fuck

[bcjaliu]

fucking hell they kicked ass man!

[TheTeebuckle1]

I saw the Dolls in 74 with Kiss and the Dolls were the WORSE group I'd ever seen. ...Kiss killed them.

[INNATEHUMAN]

@TheTeebuckle1 man that makes me laugh! A bit of honesty+++++

[Starslider]

NYD still rock!!!!

[Descartes619]

excellent song and excellent performance. go ny dolls

[sirensealight]

Wow, David J. Sounds 100 times better than I thought he was going to. Nice surprise. Rock on!

[musashihumar]

Johnny Thunders R.I.P.

[voddy2]

less johnny :(

[punkdad74]

OMG, I love this band, always have..hard to believe he turned into Buster Poindexter in the 80's...lol! So glad they're still doin it...the very beginings of punk is still kickin ass!

[serpikris]

some people just don't get it. but the spirit is till there.

[Flipper79able]

I guess John didn't get the fact that David is an addict even thought David was throwing every single hint possible.......I guess Johnathan is notorious for ignoring stuff.

[totallyremiss]

OMG, David Jo is still the coolest fucker around.

[thespikemister]

steve conte lead guitar, brilliant and brilliant band and funny as hell

[thespikemister]

steve conte lead guitar, brilliant and brilliant band and funny as hell

[weenerwallet]

wow..they're fucken AMAZING

[LustForHate]

It's not the New York Dolls, it's the TWO YORK DOLLS.

[candelise]

@LustForHate Nice one! Still good though!

[wrongchordsrecords]

you can say what u want about jonathon ross but hes the only presenter who would bring the stooges ans the dolls to british tv.

[DrJReefer]

@wrongchordsrecords He once had Nirvana come on to do Litium and trash the set playing Territorial Pissings instead. /watch?v=CZ9z-SEzDtk

[leonakita]

@wrongchordsrecords I love Ross, a wittier host there is not! His interviews of Stooges and Dolls are funny stuff! Johansen looks remarkable for his age here... most his piers have grown heavy with age... truly remarkable how a solid drug habit keeps your body slim and trim! Long live the Ny Dolls, one of the better glam acts with legs.

[iliketolivealone]

sweet

[kidcalabria]

Johansen still looks very good, he's always been a fantastic performer, a great lyricist, and he's very funny... I love Sylvain's rhythm guitar ... hard to imagine The Dolls without Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, but they still rock

[candelise]

@kidcalabria I recall Todd Rundgren jokingly saying that Johnny Thunders had probably not been sober since he was ten!!

[juliano66]

very very cool

[luigidoll]

OH! But they're still SO good lookin'!!!

[Kilowat1000]

still alive? strange. Sid is dead he is the star. to be a star you should die young...sorry

[rocktunes]

This video makes me want to go on another diet. No fat on those guys

[contact1araya]

David Johansen looks like Buster Pointdexter

[zepps88]

that's because he IS Buster Pointdexter

[banngger99]

Thunders is the band!!!!!!!

[colinmcneill37]

still a great band

[DCP64]

I agree...but ya gotta add Killer Kane to that list, too!!

[magprob]

No Johnny Thunders...No Dolls.

[dasbaron68]

No Comment but Awesome

[iliketolivealone]

fuck a duck i completelely agreeee

[Wayhighup]

World Class Band!

Respect where Respect is Due*

NY,Dolls,

; )

[395894056]

AMAZINGGGGGGG

[rhinohouse]

I was expecting the worst. But I stuck with it out of morbid curiosity-like a car wreck & ya wanna see what happened. Well, it's pretty good. David & Sylvain are funny and lookin' so Warholsy. Yea, I guess Andy taught how to age & still have fun & fuck anybody that doesn't like it. Thanks Dolls. You still rawk!

[nostalgiaramanny]

johnathan ross is such a boob.

[iliketolivealone]

i got two

[DrJTG]

It's nice to see the original Shangri-Las doing so well.

[iliketolivealone]

i agree more than u know about

[Onisun]

That performance was a mess in all the right ways- fantastic.

[iliketolivealone]

totally

[sequinsaff]

Great stuff, saw them the other night - Brilliant, maybe just listen to them and get off on the music, I cant fault it!

[penycuk]

Sounds good,going to see them Edinburgh Picture House on the 10th Dec.

[Flipper79able]

Jonathan Ross didn't realize that David is in recovery and had drug and alcohol problems that were just as bad as the rest of the band......He just managed to survive.

[lvampira]

Shit I hope i'm still rockin' when I'm that old! My Respects!

[derSpuk]

johansen looks like a zombie!

[lvampira]

well...that's what happens when you get old....no offense to any older folks out here....but I'm looking forward to it.

[japooda56]

Great to see these 2 guys pull a band together and and rock again.

[zepps88]

are you?

[RNRDOLL]

Dude, it was the glam period...they totally were playing off on shock like bowie did and like the stones were beginning to do around this period (well, Mick anyways..he was getting pretty androgynous in the early 70s). None of the Dolls were gay.

[Doomshaper]

The Dolls aren't The Dolls without Johnny, Jerry and Arthur.

[RNRDOLL]

true that. I wouldnt go as far to they should change their name, but none of the other guys have the fire the others had..but thats to be expected its a completely different scene now. Rock stars dont get all fucked up on blow like they did back then.

[Doomshaper]

the did heroin not blow

[SkeltonKid]

Some do.

[candelise]

@RNRDOLL Yes, and they last longer as a result!

[alvarosantiagoferrei]

SHIT

[monkfistlust]

kicking butt as always!

[bumcake182]

Great song!

[packysomerville]

You can't fault a guy for wanting to work. Especially an artist.

[jox124]

Sam Yaffa the best.

[tibyv8]

so great to see them alive and together

[MonkeyMagic88]

orwiginal wock n' woll survivors.... girly poofter homos make my skin crawl. the one with the black faggot hat needs to be punched in the head a few times.

some great music though.

[kzojgonlji]

then why the fuck do u look at this u fuckin pusy go suck your mamas cock and shut the fuck up

[strangeparty]

You need brain surgery.

[BoatmanCalling]

On of my favourite bands of all time!!!!!!

[T1C2A3F4]

im 14 by the way there should be more fukin bands like this everyones a pusey or a chav these days

[MadderRoseRulz]

For the benefit of the "younger" fans of the NY Dolls, only David Johanson and Sylvain Sylvain are "original" members. Ross kept referring to this line-up as the New York Dolls. Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Billy Murcia and Arthur "Killer" Cane sadly passed away, and were each in the original band...This band, IMHO, should not be called The New York Dolls. Perhaps The New New York Dolls? Still, they rock out with the new members...

[kayrosx1]

Totally agree,pissed me off too. But must say Sam Yaffa fits in brilliantly!

[strangeparty]

When Johnny and Jerry left the Dolls, David and Syl continued on as the New York Dolls, with Tony Machine, Peter Jordan and Chris Robison. People die, bands change members - whatever - they're still the Dolls.

[MadderRoseRulz]

Johnny and Jerry did not "leave" the Dolls. They died. There is no New York Dolls without Johnny Thunders. That's like saying the Stones are the Stones without Keith Richards.

And if people want to believe that this "new" band is the 1973-75 NY Dolls, cool. It is a fucking delusion, though.

[minimacas]

Nobody believes it's the same band they sound completely different. I still love them. I still would if they were called something else.

[smitsmit121]

@minimacas there is only two of the originals in the band

[OrangeSFO]

i think you better google the date of Johnny Thunders' death. He left the Dolls.

[candelise]

@MadderRoseRulz Er, didn't Johnny form his own band before dying, Mr nostalgia?

[MadderRoseRulz]

@candelise Er, yeah, so what does that have to do with whatever it is I wrote nine months or so ago? JT formed several bands--use the plural, when you speak of Johnny, Mr. Moonlight.

[candelise]

@candelise Johnny 'left' the band and formed another? Later on he died?

[lexelement]

That was a kick ass performance in spite being old blokes

[avantgarde1226]

They are so great!!

[zweiosterei]

Johansen acts like a prima donna rock star. Wonder how he acted when he was doing his Buster Pointdexter act.

[daggergblue]

Prima Donna? How so?

[sitiomaldito]

Its good to see Syl Syl and David back and with the almighty Sami Yaffa on bass!!

Im gonna see the NYD next week for the first time on my life (im NYD fan since i first heard them around '88), im pretty excited.

Cheerz from Argentina!

[Jethrofinger]

It's great to see David and Sylvain rocking on. Their new album comes out in May and I can't wait. I'm like the only 17 year old guy who likes these guys. From what I know, they'll be touring. I'd like to see the new guys in action and try not to compare them to Johnny, Arthur, and Jerry. I still like them so rock on!

[badsarasota69]

hey well im 15 so it looks as if we're the youngest fans haha

[MustBeUnearthed]

14, beat you :Y

[vintagexrock]

also 14 and a huge fan :)

[TippGunnerGuitarist]

yes i am also 14, and only turned 14 late this month (March) so i beat you all!

[jaydeepunk]

im 16 almost 17 and have loved them for years :)

[jpemergency]

Dolls are great . That Ross is a toss .

[pgclash66]

J Ross is a patronising cunt.

[1234legend1234]

His voice is still gr8

[jaynexpain]

splended , love the new york dolls, they are awesome

[iskateGirlpoop]

Axl Rose is a faggot.

[MohawkOfficial]

why are you talking about axl rose?

[iskateGirlpoop]

Someone down below mentioned him.

[Timmybear]

Please don't brand us Stonewall Girls with adding that name to our membership - thank you kindly. :)

[indiebird12]

I wonder if david johannson and silvain are millionairs??? hmmm...

[monkfistlust]

no

but doing okay and happy what there doing!

and they all have other gigs and bands projects Mostly Steve Conte and Sami Yaffa

I know how much it costs to hire the band

they tour alot and work hard

there recording a new album now with Todd ruddgren and then another world tour

[EFFANDJEFF]

Does anybody recognize the lead singer from somewhere else? He was the ghost of christmas past in Scrooged with Bill Murray. You know, the crazy taxi driver...

[monkfistlust]

yes he was in that movie

and a few others

[iamarock09]

And he was the lead bad guy in Mr. Nanny, starring Hulk Hogan... "First you deft me, then you mock my HAIR? You're DEAD!"

[corporateslutkiller]

You can only pull this shit off when you're young and pretty... David looks like my mother in law.

[BakaDemi]

the singer is like Axl Rose cross with Mick Jagger

[vincenoir08]

looks nothing like axl, axl is uncool and annoying. everyone stop saying he looks like axl, he does look like jagger.

[BakaDemi]

yea he does vincenoir08 and axl is cool.

[1234legend1234]

Axl is a complete tosser, joke of a singer.

[lostaglio6666]

it is not the new york dolls without johnny thunders

[JLKnChrist]

He really reminds me of Mick Jagger.

[ohhxdahhling]

"You've always been so kinda to us."

y'know, with the exception of Billy.

[FlashFace]

The Dolls are going back into the studio in January to record their next album. Todd Rundgren is back to produce the album. Sounds like history in the making (again).

[RadicalEdwardIV]

Thanks for that, Dolls rule.

I actually like Johnathan Ross. But then, I'm in Australia, all we have is Rove McManus.

[Musicdudeguy]

Whatever they are...they rock.

[dublintoffee]

ross is the business, dolls are a piece of no talent shit.

[peaceman1234567]

Well listen to Cliff Richard then and that knnnobhead Ross the tosser,him and Russell Brand should fuck each other.

[iliketolivealone]

Dance like a monkey you first class prick!!!

[oodled]

Ross is a cunt....err..thats it

[iliketolivealone]

go spam yourselves mother fucker/s

[lottieisthequarry]

hate ross, L-U-V the dolls... thanks for putting this up.

[simonbath]

dumbdown show. dumbdown host. great song.

[iliketolivealone]

i was born for this moment.O yeah. O fucking yes..

[iliketolivealone]

I love this more than food!!!!!!!!

[iliketolivealone]

A pre-dispostion? Interesting theory.

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

hes right, unless the person never tries drugs and then they will never know, that is certainly the right way to go, but most of us are to weak to avoid drugs including myself, so i am not judging people!

[iliketolivealone]

this is the way it should be done

[salmonico]

'i have to go to jail dressed like Liza Minnelli' hahaha lol

[liljohn38]

too bad johnny wasn't here for this R.I.P

[salmonico]

WOW!!

[rikusorakh1]

STEVE CONTE!

[r0ckf0rlif3]

These guys are fuck'n legendary band! They've been big influence for many things, but DAMM that commentator Johnathan Ross is a fuck'n ass hole, commentators like he sucks, they trying band members say something wrong, well there is good commentators like conan o'brien, but that one fuck'n suXX balls!

[rarebanana]

jimmy kimmel is one of those asshole at the times.

[Colsey]

don't u mean interviewers? not commentators?

conan o brien is the man for sure!
