last time i saw him was with stiv bators, handsome dick, cheetah chrome (who is now a politically-oriented a-hole), arthur kane, and somebody else, don't remember who :(. it was just after they finished pulling all the seats outta the paladium, and to avoid the slammers, did just what you did--out with the elbows!
What? His voice is fantastic, in between the punkiest rough shouts and the most androgynous male vocalist ever, have you even listened to 'Hurt Me' album at least?
@susan8163 It's punk rock sweetheart, none of that matters.....its got soul, its got guts, its got raw uncensored attitude. And Johnny Thunders, that amazing guy you're yelling at on youtube comments....he's dead. If you explore the history of punk rock, you may come to really appreciate it. :]]
@susan8163 FUCK YOU! HOW DARE U SAY THAT ABOUT JOHNNY THUNDERS!!! 99% OF ALL OF THOSE BANDS THAT CAME OUTOF THE 80'S RIPPED JOHNNY OFF. JOHNNY IS THE BEST ROCK AND ROLLER THATS EVER LIVED!!
God, he was not only an amazingly talented (guitar hero,singer,poet and many more) motherfucker,but when he was in the mood he was a spectacular entertainer aswell...
What makes me LOVE Johnny so much was the interview he did where he was asked about mainstream music and he said something to the effect of "I'm not one of those guys who criticize other people's music." You don't make yourself cooler by dumping on others. I LOVE JT.
this the lyceum show. i was there. incredible. Johnny was totally out of it and during 'So Alone' he really went crazy. it was classic rock an roll. 'It's hard to get a guy off of Wall street' said Johnny and man are we glad he did.
This song was performed by The Sonics in their first album in 1965, punkier than the stooges, the ny dolls, the sex pistols or anyone... and it was even before hendrix!
I think this is from the Lyceum show back in 84 or 85. An amazing show. Johnny was well out of his face. Heartbreakers were a great rock and roll band.
go PCP68 go ! you sound like ze franchmenn in Monthy Python's " Holly Graal. ( Btw , if you meet Pompina Pignola Ramone, would you give her a french kiss from me? you r so nice babe, thanxs)
Hmmm. . .not too great, but not too bad. I saw another vid of this song where he could barely get through the tune, so this is quite an improvement. I love the Dolls and Thunders, but they'd have been alot better (and still alive) if they'd layed off the drugs. I think Rock 'n ' Roll is enough of a blast without having to party yourself into the grave.
@RamonesBrat Yup, was hard to get the right coke/op mix. If it wasn't for the speed part he'd be noddin! I think he's pretty sharp here. I saw him about 5 or 6 times. Best one was I think Irving Plaza or the downtown, Que Sera Sera had just come out. We sat in the balcony cause the last time we got in a fight with these douchebags "moshing". Me and my buddy just stuck our elbows out, and we were droppin those skinny punks like flies...lol. Hate the mosh shit. In NYC it wasn't a good idea.
