  • Great song but David Johanson... Johnny is a much better singer!

  • nice song from the album new wave 1980s punk rock las supetrellas del punk rock las munecas de nueva york saludos del kayre d.f. chopo

  • Johnny Thunders!!!! Kick ass!!!

  • um why is he wearing heels!

  • @thrashdouche21 because its Punk

  • @thrashdouche21 More glam rock than punk...

  • @renc2000 wow its a lil too much lol

  • @thrashdouche21 Yeah....I know. It bugged the male audience in particular. And like most glam rock bands, they slowly back off of the glam look.

  • I'm reading the Book "I Doll" by Arthur "killer" Kane, so far it's pretty good.

  • Cheers to Burt Sugarman!

  • @suckonthat Saicos from Peru are the first punk band in history

  • DIVINO! É muito bom!

  • muito lokkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!

  • Amanzing, fantastic, true rock and roll ever!

  • total shit except for the guitar.

  • fuck the out of tune guitars, fuck the " really weird" timing ...  this is great rock and roll band!

    amazing band !

  • THE BEGGINING OF PUNK!

  • I really hate this band and that's seeing them live with Poison and Motley Crue, NOT KIDDING EITHER TRUE STORY!!!!!!

  • @Wisconsin222

    Hate them or not, you wouldn't have bands like Crue and Poison if it wasn't for these guys bro!!

  • @Wisconsin222 what was the point in coming here an posting a comment if you hate the music that seems awfully counter productive

  • I typed Ramones and the top video is from New York Dolls???

  • Everyone who came after these guys, Bowie, T-Rex, etc were just imitators to this very day. Gotta stick to the origins:-)

  • @that70sguy1975: Excuse me, Bowie was already there with his first big hit single in 1969, but also before in the 60s and T. Rex were also 2-3 years earlier. When the Dolls started (and i revere the Dolls, no pussyfooting) T.Rex had already had several big hits. So inform yourself a bit, before you write who was allegedly before whom....

  • @MrSKINFLICK - If you read it right, I was trying to say just that. By the time these guys popped up, Bowie had been around a few years, along with several other rock pioneers- well aware of that my friend:-)

  • @that70sguy1975: If you only had written: Who came after guys LIKE Bowie and T.Rex....or e.g. Bowie and T.Rex.....otherwise commas can mean a vague/not exactly defined distancing from the part of sentence just before.....linguistics, sorry ! ; - )

  • @MrSKINFLICK stop being a smart ass and fuck off, we all like the music as much as you, and just because we dont know as much about the band doesnt mean we dont like it and respect it. So you dont have to be a know it all about that shit!! We are on th same team you idiot, if anything go rant on a justin beiber video.

  • @tigerfox18: Stop being a smartass yerself + even fuck off yerselrf, self-important ass, hardly any call ups in yer channel and still boasting around here, awful !

  • @tigerfox18:

    Beck is a Scientology loser + nuthin else !

  • @tigerfox18: I guess YOU rather have the mentality of a Justin Bieber, LMAO !

  • @MrSKINFLICK I fucking love you man!!! So easy to piss you off :) And I already fucked myself today thank you very much, but you'll be on my list of people to fantasize about tomorrow. Love you honey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • @tigerfox18:Thanks for the"love"but WHO was pissed off first?I´m using satire+parody for what some kinda weirdos send me,when they can´t get along with my opinion.Opinions are always a limited matter,but people should still be able to discern who was WHEN somewhere.Otherwise i could also write here that the Beatles were already successful in the 50s or the Sex Pistols were founded in the 80s.I have nothing against being not sober anymore while onYT,but some should know their limits!

  • @MrSKINFLICK Actually The Sex Pistols were founded in the late 70's because they broke up in 1978 and then Sid Vicious their bassist and a short lived solo career in 1979 until he died that same here of drug overdose.

  • it might not look like much now, but back then this was RADICAL CULTURE SHOCK. only the Midnight Special could get away with such things on U.S. tv (kudos to Sugarman for having the balls to do it.) Bands like this would come on at 2 AM after all the "normals" had gone to bed LOL

  • the Johnny-doll was made by the late great Sable Starr as a present when she met him in L.A.

  • I love how Johnny has a mini version of himself on his back.

  • origen of screemo?

  • Morrissey brought me here

  • Portugal? Where the hell is this?

    Also I typed "The Ramones" and I got this, lol

  • God I miss rock'n'roll. Music sucks now.

  • The Dolls were not a "pre-punk" band. They were the Punk!!! They started it all and the rest just waited.

  • @justinbgaga There where bands doing this before them, even though i love the new york dolls.

  • I type in "The Ramones" and I get this. I ain't even mad.

  • THIS PUBLIC IS A GREAT SHIT,

    THEY SEEM TO WAX

  • THIS PUBLIC IS A GREAT SHIT,

    LOOK ME WAX!!!!

  • dead crowd

  • this is so amazing. Must be one of the most electric performances I've ever seen.

  • singer looking to join/form a rock n roll band influences: zeppelin, the doors, GNR, nirvana, the sex pistols, ramones, aerosmith and so on. if u live in the toronto aera get back at me

  • @DETOXXIC Those are many different types of music almost o.O

  • @Motleycruelover88. im influenced by alot of bands i just wonna play rock n roll and do everything if i have the chance. and i really wont a fuckin band man loll

  • stop using those lame stupid allmusic terms, please. new york dolls are a rock and roll band

  • they are wearing go-go boots

  • I like their style of rock n roll. I was a young teenager when their records were out. I remember their LP/covers in the record stores in my city, but i never really had the op to hear them very much. They were never on the radio where i lived. Their sound seems to have that ragged, street smart,' kid from the wrong side of town vibe ' much like early alice cooper. I always thought Kiss sort of copied their style and then popularized it.

  • rock n roll !!!!!!!

  • Vittu, se on sikalaiha vieläkin.

  • Something between Mick Jagger and Paul Stanley...

  • Mick Jagger and Nikki Sixx with Poison

  • Well, they had attitude, at least...............

  • Is that your mom? I think you may be my long lost son. Where have you been all these years?

    Watch this video and learn... wont find anything like this on American Idol.

  • Huge Jagger fan, if you can't tell.lol

    Hes got the moves like Jagger.lol!

  • OMG Johansen was A-MAY-ZING then!!! Look! Up in the sky! It's a punk! It's a glam! It's - it's - SUPERGROUP! (P.S. I used to think Steve Tyler was our answer to Mick J. ... but compare this to any Aerosmith vid and the winner is OBVIOUS...)

  • I think the woman at 02:10 is my mom.

  • @Jimmyjumpnjive I'd tap that...

  • @Jimmyjumpnjive really?

  • @Jimmyjumpnjive : great !

  • Definitely pre -punk. *Of course* Rock is pre-punk... But what's different here? Not as much about the sound as the attitude. And the 'tude here is tied to glam which is tied to punk.

  • If ypu weren't around when the NY Dolls first came around then you don't have the right to say shit. This was cutting edge back then, this band kicked ass.

  • @markkoszyk yeah,,,U'r rite,,,but time has a way of erasing the details,,,too bad,,,first time I took this record to a party, alot of people flipped out, & most of them not in a good way,,,damn rite it was cutting edge,,,

  • @ObongoBongoBongo u must be from the USA :) no prob. with this ..but who cares who was the first or sooner, the sex pistols was the punk rock, this band is just a foreplay compare to them maybe the Ramones

    ps: sorry for the dissent do not bomb me :))

  • Johnny Thunders backpack is sick

  • Mick and Keith can rest easy

  • Saw these guys live with Poison and Motley Crue and thought the NY Dolls SUCKED!!!!

  • @Wisconsin222 haha it's funny how you don't know that crue and your precious brett michaels totally ripped the Dolls off

  • @zepps88 thats cus the dolls were way before them, they practically invented glam

  • pre-punk? fuck off, it's only r'n r, but i like it

  • @thealanofamily well the early punk bands, like ramones, damned, sex pistols, and dead boys were rock n' roll, and the 2 bands they all claimed as influences were the dolls and stooges. so the dolls and stooges are "pre-punk", or protopunk. fuck, johnny thunders, with his heartbreakers, was another early punk band that toured with and played gigs with those others i mentioned.

  • @thealanofamily It's only Proto-Punk, but I like it.

  • Just GREAT!!

  • this is where punk started.

    a lot people absolutely hated this album when it came out.

    others......were still trying to recover from the Tubes first album.

    great time to be high.

    WPONYD

  • Check out the faces on the audience. They have got NO IDEA WTF hit them!!! Nowadays, they will be tellin their grandkids - I WAS THERE!!!! Damn, this band wasamazing!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG !!!

  • Killer Kane, just like it was, lookin' like a haystack in drag! only outdone by Wayne County (Jane County) from The Electric Chairs. 6'4"+ boots=7'+drag/hooker=CRAZYCREE­PY!!! 

  • Epic mullet in afghan on 3:29

  • i typed the ramones and this came up

  • @Santanak89 The Ramones was heavy into the NYD. John talks about it in the End Of The Century movie.

  • great performance

  • @LaughingatpainUSAway Someone should have told the audience that, bunch of stiffs :D Great song :)

  • @DogmeUK Nobody moved at gigs back then... check out the Stooges performances 2 years early, they haven't got a clue what just hit them.

  • @JackWMS14 I think they were in shock (and awe)

  • The the guitarist on the right Paul Stanley?

  • @Dimefan91 i think it's johnny thunders

  • @Dimefan91 no !!!!!!,,,johnny  thunders,,

  • New York Dolls were one of the BEST punk glam bands ever !!

  • mikamee14...great observation about the Nikki Sixx comparison. Actually Nikki cites Johnny Thunders as one of his early idols. If you watch the 2 play guitar (although Nikki plays Bass) the styles are the same. Nikki copies Johnny very closely.

    Nikki also was heavily influenced by Rick Neilson of Cheap trick.....

    Sorry for the UFI....

  • Johnny Fucking Thunders. He should have carried Samuel L. Jackson's wallet from Pulp Fiction that has Bad Mother Fucker on it. One of my favorite guitar players. Up there with Brian James and Cheetah Chrome, but that's just me.

  • BUENISIMO VIEJAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

  • Its nearly impossible for anyone today to imagine what it was like to see 5 dudes come out on stage looking like the New York Dolls. The reason we're still talking about them is because of their boldness & confidence. And although others such as Jagger had it, no one had it to the degree they did. They didn't have great songs tho. And that ultimately is what keeps their legacy from being as big as it could be. Imagine Marylin Manson with great songs. If they had songs to match their boldness?

  • @Ronniewants2die They didn't have great songs? They didn't have great songs? I can think of ten...maybe that's not enough but taste is indeed in the ear of belistener

  • You're right. I like some of their music. I guess by 'great songs' I meant songs like some of the the Pistols did or the Ramones or the Stooges. Hell, maybe we just run in different circles. :)

  • The guitarist looks a bit like Nikki sixx

  • I can see why The Ramones dug these guys :P thanks New York Dolls for inspiring my favorite band.

  • Tough crowd...thank you both?

  • What a band....badass!!!!!!!!! Saw them with Poison & Motley the other night & they KICKED ASS. Pure rock & roll. No frills......wonderful!!!!!!

  • @DeathHorned Tommy Lee said in an interview that this is where one of Motley Crue's influence came from, he said this band looked glam but their music was heavy.

  • the intro is almost same as rolling stones brown sugar ;) tiii diii didi tiidi dii didi

  • im kinda scared.... ive never heard of ny dolls before but im gonna be seeing them with motley crue and poison in a few weeks...

  • When arguing is more important than watching, why the fuck bother

  • A lot of these comments seem to indicate a lack of a Personality Crisis. Try it out, it's always hot

  • there's another bassist playing behind.. why?

  • Comment removed

  • @Sorefame83 i told you... there's another bassist at the back... left ... he's playing a thunderbird bass... and i think he does the basslines that we hear in this performance because what the doll's bassist does doesn't match the sound...

    check 00:40, 1:00, 2:22, 2:33, 2:50, 3:10, 3:17,

  • @wardiwardi Good eye and ear bro. You're right.

  • @wardiwardi

    A girlfriend stabbed "Killer" Kane in the hand in 1973 but I guess he didn't want to miss the TV spot.

  • is that jonny thunders on guitar?

  • raw meat

  • sylvain is one of the coolest guitarists ever. Am I the only one that hears the riff CC Deville was referencing in talk dirty to me... not to mention the cute lipstick

  • This is great!! Did they perform any other songs for this 1973 show?

  • @AsswittChaos kkkkkkk ramones (♥) ser mais novo q sex pistols é foda uahuhauhauha

    e os ramones tem influencia do NYD mesmo tendo só 3 anos de diferença de uma pra outra... as duas são fodas de qualqer jeito

  • @jaimeskins só tava elogiando uma banda (NYD) e comparando com outras duas ( Ramones e Sex Pistols).

    As fraudas e a "primeira garrafa de vodka" foram apenas artifícios q usei para representar o tempo, não entre as duas últimas, mas sim entre estas e a primeira. OK?!

  • Quando os Ramones ainda usavam fraldas, e os Sex Pistols ainda estavam na metade de sua primeira garrafa de vodka, New York Dolls já fazia punk rock, e ninguém costuma se lembrar dos caras

  • @AsswittChaos Na verdade quando os ramones estavam na sua primeira garrafa de vodka os Pistols usavam fraldas. ;] E nóis lembra dos dolls.. e ama demaisss...

  • i saw them in concert with motley crue and poison they fucking suck!!!

  • I'm 13. The other 13 year olds don't know why I find this shiz is awesome.

  • this is the one and only ROCK N' ROLL ...haters can suck my big balls..

  • They suck

  • new york dolls should have been included in

    the phantom of the paradise movie not posers

    but players who lived the lifestyle so bad its

    fookin good do ya know wot i mean? :)

  • TWO BASS PLAYERS

  • i can swear that this sounds almost identical to Look What the Cat Dragged In by Poison.... hmmmm

  • @buzzsaw177 wait.... i meant Talk dirty to me... fail

  • @buzzsaw177 nooooo you mean Poisen sounds identical to NYD. Poisen stole the riff.

  • @tatethompson1234 well, yea. These guys were a decade before poison

  • just saw these guys in concert with motley crue and poison they are amazing

  • @L0ganL33 i see em on the 17th \w/

  • @L0ganL33 i was there to and they sounded like dog shit.. and the singer looked like a prostitute.. having them on stage was a good time to use the bathroom

  • Three years before the Sex Pistols. The first punk band?

  • I love the blond girl in the front who sings along!

  • did anyone know that David Johanson the lead singer is really Buster Point Dexter the guy that does Hot Hot Hot :D I LOVE THE NEW YORK DOLLS!!

  • omg !!! omg!!!! talk about pure horse shit. the purest !! stinky !

  • Seeing these guys with Motley Crue on Saturday. Really effin' excited. (:

  • maybe the hottie in the front row was a plant but she knows the words and even howled at the right time!

  • @1leicaman -- I gotta agree. She's probably a real Doll Cult Chick.

  • I love the way the network has this tiny little true (or maybe even hired) fan contingent in the very front row, but 90 plus percent of the audience obviously freaking out in silent horror the sight of a group that's just a bit too ahead of their time. The "Precious and Few" Generation just wasn't yet ready for the New York Dolls in 1973! This music is impossible to ignore but that's only because the Dolls knew what they were doing and had a vision.

  • Man, people said that Aerosmith copied the Stones, but David Johanssen has got the Mick Jagger impersonation down pat!

  • @flexy633 nah, they're just all ugly guys who rock.

  • the world affairs could be seen on the comments on this video. hahaha.

  • Comment removed

  • I remember when the dolls first came out in the 70's and always thought that johansen portrayed himself as a dirty sounding Jagger with bad movements..didn't really care for the music or that genre but have to give them the credit for shocking the world in their appearance and style..

  • people were afraid of the dolls. they were crazy, loud, angry transvestites. David Johansen would blow you down with his booming vocals and Johnny Thunders would rip you to shreds with his slashing guitar style. nobody had witnessed anything quite like this in the early 70's.

  • @zepps88 don,t David Johansen look like a young Mick Jagger to u like he does to me

  • they are AWESOME, and they kinda remind me of the rolling stones. hmmmmm...

  • Geez man, except for a few people up front, the audience looks brain dead!!

  • This is fucking AWESOME!

  • Stop talking shit and enjoy the video for fuck sake

  • @ChineseR0ck AMEN!

  • high heels on a guy?

    disgusting!

    however,the music is good!

  • @manolojohny74 Shouldn't you be watching Dancing with the Stars?

  • David Johansen looks like a young Mick Jagger 

  • Bands and musicians who follow their own paths are of no interest to the mass media. They are only interested in bands that are safely popular.

  • I just love have David Johansen and off course the rest of the band to, i dress up like a hooker. And go instantly berserk on stage danceing and screeming and just don´t care. To the contrast that 98% of the audience is sitting completely still and with their faces saying. " What the helllll " :)

  • @hydfawr woot

  • @ChineseR0ck There is another guitarist in the background on the left side of the screen. He's hard to see but definitely there, a 6th person on stage. Who is it and why is he there?

  • @hydfawr Please be careful when calling NY Dolls "imitators". The glam thing was indeed popular among many groups at that time, but actually THIS kind of screamo proto-punk, a good three or four years before the Sex Pistols, was highly original in 1973. Just look at the faces on many of crowd who were heavily brain-washed with Climax-type stuff ("Precious and Few") and other wimp-rock groups -- it's clear they've never seen or heard anything quite like this.

  • @hydfawr What or who are they impersonating? Aren't these guys some of the first of their kind. I'm not a fan, but I find your comment kind of silly

  • @hydfawr idiot

  • @hydfawr You're an underrrated douchebag! Cus you're quite good at it. Quit being a masochist and go listen to the crap you like.

  • @hydfawr Imitators my ass. They were just a fuckin' rock band. No more no less.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @hydfawr I think you mean Underated Pioneers.

  • It's the most fun you can have with three chords while dressed like hookers.

    Brilliant.

  • I knew Arthur Kane at Pratt. He was a really nice gentle mellow guy. Years later I searched for him and, thanks to the Web, finally got in touch with him. He wrote "yeah, I'm still alive. Thanks for asking". This was before the NYD (partial) reunion and he was pretty bitter. It is really great to see the band get the recognition it deserves. The film "New York Doll" captures his gentleness and creativity. It was great to see them get together again for what was to be Artie's last performance.
