johnny thunders- joey

[putdownan8dude]

this is about as irreverant a cover of dylan as my own cover of johnny thunders i played with my old band.. great performer.

[sgenn99]

this is one of the most painfully hip dylan covers i've ever heard/seen...and i mean that in the best way possible. johnny was a real one-off. they don't make 'em like this anymore.

[TransparentVisions]

@sacredjimi I think he was just jokin' around...

[Skitziod]

the fools inthe crowd are clueless at best.

[ferdy55]

thanks for that

[udohood]

Dylan wrote this song its on an Albulm of his

[thula2]

My mate told me this was written about Joey Deacon. Anyone know if it's true and who he was? Great song and it would be nice to know the story behind this Deacon chap.

[mimesis6mime]

@thula2 The song is about Joe Gallo, a notorious New York mobster. Its a Dylan song, Johnny cuts out 2/3 of the lyrics.

[hateisgreatok]

@sacredjimi Go fuck yourself and go smell jimi's underwear some more.

[idontwantohurtnobody]

Johnny influenced every thing that Is today PERIOD. And most so called hipsters dont even know it. Most people on this planet are weak feeble sheep. Thats why god made a wide road and a narrow one.

[STCN0B0DY]

so fucking cool

[MrRastaManDan]

@sacredjimi Its part of his act... Punk rock questions everything and everyone!

[MrRastaManDan]

awsome!



[agoon88]

Wish he was still alive would been great to see him live with the Dolls or the Heartbreakers

[OiOiOi9677]

When DOESN'T his guitar do that? xD

[gooner173]

so sad..i liked him so much..

[garyprein]

I never heard him do this song, great version...thanx for posting

[TheThroney]

@idontwantohurtnobody thanks for the advice

[idontwantohurtnobody]

@TheThroney Take a syringe full of air, put it in your temple and hit the plunger....eh...try that....

[hazardous541]

si

[IdleAl]

Beautiful. Johnny was a shining star....burned too brightly perhaps but was always the epitome of rock 'n' roll cool to me.

[corionzielig]

What's this in the very last second of this video? Looks like a pretty crappy early 90s show.

[Jackiesstash08]

Johnny thunders was one of the most amazing talents but its not showcased here,captivating to watch though, he's stoned outa his brain (that's what held him back)

[noyokos]

Johnny showed us all how they rocked before they invented strap locks.

[HueyRocks23]

It'll be 20 years tomorrow (April 23) since we lost the greatest contribution to Punk Rock. John Genzale, Jr., we love you.

[jvrlopez]

Johnny Thunders and Bob Dylan....you can't beat that.

[blueballtravel]

LAMF forever....

[hannes1102]

@blueballtravel you're F-right saw him a few times in Holland. Luv the guy; luv 'So Alone' one of the best albums ever:-)

[sunrawb]

...pure genius rock and roll.

[chicoisdaman]

gotta cringe seeing alice cooper voted into r&r hof with artist like thunders, willy deville ignored dispite monumental influence shout out to jamie on sax, rip to both of them

[RossM3838]

@chicoisdaman Madonna is in while Little Feet is not, so I don't pay any attention to what the suits have to say about anything. The Heartbreakers, Voidoids, Television and the Ramones created an entire genre of music from whole cloth. They were proper rock and roll bands.

[filolovejoy]

this is what I love about music. You don't need an incredible voice, you don't have have to be SRV on the guitar, but if you gots the talent and the stage presence, like this guy certainly did, it shines through like a diamond. This is excellent....

[timjessa1]

man that would have been awesome to see johny playing i that little room. great quality, thanks for posting this, we need another thunders, but alas, there was only the one....

[shicksification]

I just realized Thunders lifted these lyrics from Dylan's Joey. Always liked this song, but now I'm a bit bummed...

[perudollar123]

does anyone know what that type of sunglasses is called ?

[PsychadelicElephant]

nah man I want those too I only got fuckign wayferrer shit if u find out tell me, peace,,

[rizzlaxl]

johnny did his music and he did it really well. this is awsome

[up2space]

keeng of dah stah reets

[up2space]

what's up with the yt text interface are you copying me? this is an unheard gem of JT. other than that hope your turkery burns next Tday.

[luistownmassacre]

Did you just say "little creep"?

[tiganfascist]

strange people in the audience.

[mimesis6mime]

Dylan got in a lot of shit for this song, cause his version really praises Joey Gallo as a Robin Hood character. So this song became like an orphan for Dylan and is mostly disregarded. Johnny is kind of salvaging the wreckage here, this song was lost and forgotten in disrepute, just like Johnny.

[boogiechillen123]

@mimesis6mime thanks for the info

[backinburntcity]

@mimesis6mime That's fucking beautiful.

[idontwantohurtnobody]

HEROIN

[TheThroney]

thats how i wanna do my hair

[idontwantohurtnobody]

@TheThroney when johnny got out of bed thats what his hair looked like, y dont you go to the salon you little bitch....

[idontwantohurtnobody]

kill the messanger who begs us to consider terms

[HonRevPTB]

What the fuck was the matter with these people!? Johnny took the high road & didn't call these idiots out! total class!

[anobar]

Wtf is up with him and guitar strap failage??

[backinburntcity]

@anobar IT HAPPENS

[ferdy55]

are you some kind of fuckin idiot??

[idontwantohurtnobody]

kill yourself kill yourself go on and kill yourself dont rely on someone else end it all kill yourself NOW.

[mimesis6mime]

@idontwantohurtnobody What? I don't get it.

[rotolo]

anything that comesfrom dylan is my kinda shit

[rpatina]

I loves me some JT- plugged in or unplugged the cat had style to burn!!!

[mimesis6mime]

Honestly, after listening to this I can't go back and listen to Dylan's original. Johnny had such a unique and soulful sense of timing he can make a two or three chord song so captivating

[idontwantohurtnobody]

Heart Breaking

[66644538]

he had advanced leukemia he died the next year plus hes prolly high as shit

[TheRalphus666]

He seems to have a problem with guitar straps

[noogies]

Damn, Jim Greco got so much of his style and overall demeanor from Johnny.

They both rip and ripped and what they do and did though!

[josh90123]

what style.

[svenzia]

Thunders was the best

[puckduim]

Dutch beer on the table, no wonder the audience is that. Thank you for porsting ferdy, this is the best small recording of Johnny I've heard so far!!!!

[bunnykins2110]

this video is legend, atleast its here dammm u dum ppl...so what if he was fuked up its glorious

[Desiree50]

Johnny happy 58th birthday in heaven .July 15th

[Serenberg]

@Desiree50 THERE AINT NO HEAVEN.SO LIVE FOR 2DAY CAUSE THERE MIGHT NOT B TOMORROW

[Desiree50]

@Serenberg i just was thinking of Johnny.I knew him personaly.

[alexm4433]

This is a terrible cover, I don't mind Johnny Thunders but compared to the original this isn't listenable

[UZIsuicide9111]

some people need to get their fucin heads outte their asses and come back to reality. johnny thunders wasnt over-rated but by this point he was so completely fucked up on herion and advanced leukemia was tearing him up and look at this fuckin guy hes terrible in this video its a sad trainwreck freakshow wuts with his random louis armstrong impersanations lmao?? but thunders was the first PUNK ROCKER and un-fuck-withable in his prime

[aprilviolet2010]

haha hes the coolest cat.xxx

[rkingscar]

Johnny such a talent

[mariosthunders]

its so fuckin hilarious that people comment things like "poor Johnny he looks terrible" or even worse "he has gone to a better place now" on a JT vid !!! i mean cmon,he was one of the most badass musicians ever,and pussies here pray for him to be in a better place???! hedprobably laugh his ass off if he saw what was going on here.....

[voddy2]

love johnny thunders rip love u im sure u gone to a better place xxxx

[h0b0ch1c]

Can someone sync the audio to the vid?

[sirensongsindia]

The most cleaned-up lookin I ever saw him. nice.

[punkxxxxxrocker]

Poor johnny looks and sounds terrible in this clip. What a waste of talent.

[PsychadelicElephant]

your a fucking waste,

[bananimalistic]

too fucking bad its out of sync.

[TheDoors0204]

mine too, i got strap locks though since i got a les paul

[carlos7217]

ive watched Jonny gigs b4,and he always used to av trouble with his guitar strap,it always fell off ,like here..

[sonicsteev]

like in chatterbox with the dolls

[sirensongsindia]

@carlos7217 Yes!!! His guitar was always falling off. It added to the image of an immense talent who could just barely keep it together.

[GROOVEYRECORDS]

Man if you saw Johnny when he wasn't wanking he fucking had a heart of  solid rock.

[taddeusvon]

that sax is sick!!! too bad both these dudes are rotting corpes right now, by the way that hat the sax dude wearing is johnnies

[Lowbrow13]

KING OF THE STREEEEEEET!!!!!

[BluRidgeMountain]

it must be dubbed! ? ?

[DenSnuskigaFilmen]

unsynced

[coldironhands1]

is this dub from live and wasted?

[elToggelito]

hmmm on the record there are no break in the beginning.......... but its sure sounds the same after that

[dreadbet]

that hair is frikkin cool!

[wombatsification]

what kinds of things make your voice move slower than the rest of the world?

[haupper]

heroin.

[pussypoppinfoo]

and codine!

[luvumo2day]

make my two eyes itch italian shoes great sax im just a blog spot on u tubes rockonbonzo76!!

[sitro74]

Blood, i meant Blood

[sitro74]

Blod in the Streets

[roughouserosie]

So cute, "little creep"

[Z1cky]

Great version of a Dylan song. Ungreateful fucks in crowd.

I was born in 1990 :(

[vbforge]

You died in Umbertos poor you.

Only this guy can get away with a line like that.

I saw him in the 80s play pipeline at a dance club in an old church on 6 avenue in nyc. His guitar sound was huge and simple and joyful and his stage persona was a broad charicature of strung out rock and roll coolness. I hadn't seen anything like it before and haven't since. I don't know what he had but whatever it was he had it .

[captainbillshatner]

The only thing worse then listening to a Johnny Thunders song is listening to two Johnny Thunders songs.

[ChineseR0ck]

hahahaha! Look at your favorites! Chacaron?! twat

[captainbillshatner]

Give me a fucking break! I got that there cause I think all rap sounds like a mouth full of shit.

[pussypoppinfoo]

psht...alright captainbullshitter

[iamkobito]

bob dylan wrote this song.

[maurice2002]

He chased the sun,

until it was just a cinder.

Peace, in the ever-after.

Least you won't be so tanned blue.

In, complete respect for you Johnny.

[rlaidlaw1506]

Absolute Legend!!

[GothPunkHippie65]

Johnny Thunders is a true legend. Actually, he´s the God!

[guitarbastard]

well he's ok, but in the end just quite a bad guitarplayin' n silly keith richards copy. if someone is god, then its keith. the original.

[GothPunkHippie65]

I love both.

And Johnny is one of the few that sound good even though the playing would be bad and out of tune. He´s goodbad :)

[ChineseR0ck]

haha your name says everything we need to know

[daveniner]

Overrated. He was good with the dolls though.

[DickVain41]

Overrated? You are obviously unaware of Thunders as a solo artist? That guy has more talent dead then you will ever have alive! Period! You suck! You should now go back to watching your boyfriends Fallout Boy!

[Akira3441]

@DickVain41 Spot on. If anything, Johnny was and is extremely UNDERrated.

[eddiemami]

@DickVain41 -Cancer.

[punkrocker081]

overrated?! suck me dong after i put my balls in ur mum's arsehole n wiggle em about while she tittyfucks my pet oyster, Johnny is fucking amazing what d'u listen to then?! fuckin MCR!? get offa my planet u fat fuck

[paulbuss]

FUCKIN'PRICK!

[arilouxx]

I disagree completely. He was, in fact, underrated if anything.

[lucadepu]

thunders is way overrated

[LiquidDreamsUK]

Sad. That toupee is awful. Looks like he's auditioning for Split Enz.

[DickVain41]

That's Johnny's real hair asshole!

[faberr12]

tell him dick, what a fucking asshole...hey asshole the guy who invented tupes such as this, so cool be a bilionaire

[arilouxx]

It is not awful; its fucking awesome. Id love to be able to get that hair, my face just won't work with it.

[Scabrinastep]

i cant believe people are talking and looking away whilst hes playing. i would have pulled my chair up one inch away and refuse to move

[Marioag20]

I agree with you

[h0b0ch1c]

@Scabrinastep that's the beauty of death. there's plenty of people alive in our reach today that we're unable to grasp and appreciate, but tomorrow when they're gone it'll be too late. I'm sure Johnny ain't the only one to have passed in that crowd.

[flobpera3]

...the presenter goes a got a special treat for you, and someone goes, what creep? and the pres. goes no I said treat...and then johny looks with a mean look at the crowd and then goes fuck it...and after the the strap comes off: you guys are funny looking...gotta love johny.

[pentatonic0425]

かっこよすぎる！！

[flobpera3]

great cover, gotta love, gotta adore the sax, rip jamey!!!!!!

[TJae1]

great hair; snds like bob dylan; oh, the irish R such American copy cats.

[scherbenltd]

would like to know johnny wanted to talk about, but then didn´t.

[notsovelvet]

That was great.

[555mono]

love ya joey and tony!

[coldironhands1]

is the music over dubbed from hurt me, another performance, or is it just compressed bad?

[petemare]

Clunk, I knew something like this would happen lol classic thunders

[efdgirl]

i really hate the way people are talking about Jamey on here...

[motherscum]

i like the slower songs he does more than the faster ones

[coldironhands1]

he looks really good here

[newyorkdolls71]

Johnny must hate that his strap fell off. That happens to me occasionally too. This is great song!

[aintpluggedin]

its bob dylans song lyrics and such, with a wee bit of modification

[ulas1986]

these people dont look like they'd enjoy thunders har har

[nick92691]

excuse me kids lol

[tates5rule]

[coldironhands1]

it's a bob dylan song. the only thing he changes is he alwyas says redhouse brooklyn instead of redhook and i have no idea why

[Prowinzling]

no,it#s not the song of Desire,same's just the title

[coldironhands1]

[MikkiMetalLuvsBrianJ]

RIP Johnny, johnny, johnny!

[pelpaled]

[theadict2]
