Johnny Thunders kids 1

[posthumanhero]

perhaps keith richards is not the most ideal role model...im sorry, this is beyond sad and very hard to watch without feeling sorry for these kids.

[xella45]

I rarely post stuff on website's, but I gotta say it's so fucking cynical to think Johnny was doing anything but good here. He had a ton of problems, but I'm so glad this video is here to show people the humanity of this man. He was very sick at this point in his life, not just a junky. I think it's so important to remember that all these "dangerous" rockers that we dig are just people. If your too afraid to show your humanity, and your always trying to play the tuffy your a poser in my book.

[footscraysteve]

Even though he was a decadent bastard he carried his coolness around effortlessly just like keef, RIP Johnny you fucking legend

[sargentpepperzxD]

he'll be like that favorite uncle we all had

[hanoitwin]

He looked wasted...

[coldironhands1]

is that phyllis in the begining?

[coldironhands1]

@rawpower420 And sticks and stones, i think

[coldironhands1]

I believe it's phyllis stein (jerry's gf's) kids. I just read it in an interview

"Johnny asked me if he could do a video at our loft with my daughter and her friends who he already knew pretty well. It's out there on youtube called Johnny Kids 1 and 2. I remember that day so well. The girls were very excited to do the video and he was so good with them. He was great with everyone's children. Too bad he really never got to know his own."

[jeffdeanable]

Gawd....

[anticucarachas1]

what year was this?....70ties or 80ties?

[mgastado]

Thanks a lot mark!

[TheDoors0204]

i know johnnys drinking, blowing or something else. He does seem kinda screwed up and the kids don't understand why he's acting so strange. Great clip though!!!! It's like your sitting in a room with him and you can almost smell his pomade haha!

[chuckslavin]

Good to see it! I just listed to and soon after downloaded a cover version by Wayne Kramer doing Children Are People Too off a JT tribute album and I have to say it's even better. It starts out with a really nice add lib! Check it out and thanks again for posting this! I'm going to listen to it a lot now that I'm a father.

[MicRidget]

Is that Johnnys family?

[motherscum]

i wonder if any of the kids in this video have seen this ?

[markwasthere]

all of them, read the posts

[coldironhands1]

@markwasthere Did the cat get to see it too?

[godofslumber]

Your sick mutherfucker! Why the fuck are you watchin' Thunders vids. If all your gonna do is run your cocksucker? Those little girls look very healthy & happy to me. You have no clue chump.

[ugmold]

breaks my heart

[Diarist24]

Wow!

[MarqueeMoon95]

It's exactly the same with me. I was listening to You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory a few weeks ago, and though it's a great song it was making me miserable. I had to watch the Trash video afterwards, he looks happy in that.

[idiotaviento]

omg he's so sweet!

[nyjeen2]

is he on herion? hes acting kinda weird at 1:55

[fatstard]

What's herion.. !!!!!

[zepps88]

these kids are so lucky to have met him. not many people in this age group had the privilege of meeting JT.

[tatethompson1234]

sticks and stones demos

[fleshyglassbits]

where did you get this?

[markwasthere]

dont recall, did tons of trades years back and this was one of the ones I got

[Desiree50]

to bad these were not his own kids.i happen to know his son vito who is in jail now and he still misses the very short life he had with his son

[penthouse10]

This vid has a lot of charm...thanks for posting it.

[markwasthere]

'studio boootlegs' i think

[markwasthere]

the name of the song is 'children' I remember telling him how much I hated it at the Continental Divide one nite and he said 'you have no idea how important that song is to me'

[34839ld]

I don't think this should be on youtube. I'm not being lame, it's just I don't want to think about him this way.

[markwasthere]

everybody in it was real happy to see it

[newyorkdolls71]

I disagree. Johnny shouldn't only be remembered for his music. I think he should also be rememebered for who he really was: A caring, nice guy. I knew that from the start. I didn't have to see anything to belive that.

[milly924]

Great video - thanks for posting. As many have mentioned, it's great to see that Johnny had a cool, "big brother" side. Rounds him out quite nicely!

[eekabostatic]

One kid keeps calling him "Johnny". I guess they're not his kids?

[footscraysteve]

Best reason not to have drugs around kids.

[markwasthere]

why? whats the reason

[Salguine]

Only a junkie would ask that.

[markwasthere]

and the harm you see to the kids here is what?

[WorkSucksMedia]

They could die from over-exposure to greatness

[coldironhands1]

junkies and druggies are a peice of shit

[DreamerM]

I don't see any drugs in the video.

[LacedInSickx]

Those kids didn't know how jfnjsafsjfasjdfask lucky they where.

[riahluvsspuffy6]

To my other comment, I meant to say "I'm sure they do now."

[markwasthere]

yes they do, I have heard from them all

[riahluvsspuffy6]

It seems like they're trying to shoot a video for this song. These kids have no clue how lucky they are, I mean I'm sure now they do. I'd kill to have been able to meet Johnny. Lucky kids.

[JoeKersten]

I really want to thank the person who posted this from the bottom of my heart. I didn't have it so good growing up and I couldn't tell you how many times I use to put on something of his to cheer me up. Even though he died when I was around two and I of course never met him he has been a major influence in my life.

There's no way I can make you understand how thankful I am that you posted this, that was something very special.

[markwasthere]

your welcome, glad you liked it

[mtrodrigues]

what song is this

[markwasthere]

'children' or 'children are people' i believe

[boulalax3]

never thought i see this side of johnny before...

[SEANDI777]

John was a shit. And one of the sweetest, best guys I've ever known. Remember him this way.

[ediegirl67]

how'd u know him

[tajc999]

omg..that's so sweet:)

johnny RIP:(

[djmattn]

Unbelievable footage. The wonder of the internet and technology... Love it!!!

[alvo69]

OMFG! WOW!!! This is SO S P E C I A L... I'm having trouble typing, there seems to be some water dripping into my eyes....Thank You Mark...

[HanksAnAss]

i miss johnny thunders...

[Snowman999]

WOW!!! All I can say is WOW!!!

[pfordsq]

Johnny's on his best behavior , here , and these kids LOVE him. It's hip , now , to do R'n'R kids songs , but , a pro - child was uncool in the late 80's. Johnny knew he was'nt a model parent.He tried to hold it together , and could'nt. His own Father walked out on him. Besides , it's not like he was the only adult in the room. BTW , Happy Birthday , Johnny.

[markwasthere]

yeah? one of the girls who was in it was thrilled to see it so your wrong-you sound like the one who should be kept away from kids. you havent a clue

[jozzmer]

i dunno it kinda makes me wanna shoot some speedballs and go babysitting

[KnowVac]

Sad. I am a big fan of JT's music, but if that ain't enough reason to get off the junk...

Junk sucks.

[DeltaDawnMarie]

I'm glad you brought this memory back for a wonderful friend randomly searching for their past on YouTube. I think my friend was the future astronaut.

[markwasthere]

glad to thrill someone

[zenazeebk]

This was very special. Thank you for posting.

[hotforteacher84]

what is thing about anyways?

[agabbahey]

Holy shit! Are these actually JT's kids? This is pretty neat, but also kinda sad because it's such a different side of him.

[8754richard]

No, this are not JT`s kids. JT had 3 sons and one daughter. Nobody here seems to know who these children are.

[easylistening77]

this makes me proud to be a rock'n'roll badass with a kid! RIP JT

[ianbollock]

C'est fabuleux ! Quelles émotions de voir Johnny s'éclater avec des gosses !

[DeeDeeTwo]

Fantastic. It's great to see this side of Johnny.

[p0llyp0p]

oH, this is SO funny.

i love when the kid imitates johnny. haha

[mg196]

Yeah, where is this from? PLEASE upload this to a torrent site!!

[everestthunders]

Many thanks from Spain

[gobacktogo]

-gobacktogo

[markwasthere]

[8754richard]

[markwasthere]
