Great video clip. What an amazing band! I love love the New York Dolls. So energetic. Some clips online are clearly lip synched but this one is live, live, live. Thanks for posting.
comparing thunders to hendrix is like comparing a mustang to honda civic....hendrix was the best techniquecal physcadellic player,thunders was a pure rock n roll stripped down sleazy god....two different great things.
These guys were on their way to top and then Malcolm McLaren came along, yes the same manager the Sex Pistols had. Malcolm destroyed it all and collected his money and went on to the next target, The Sex Pistols. Malcolm was a parasite that sucked out all that there was and then left.
David had such a big voice and Johnny could totally tear it up on the guitar. These guys were way ahead of their time, which is why they were never extremely popular.
People who talk shit about the new york dolls do it because they weren't there. Rock n' Roll was dying from boredom, then they came and inspired the masses to be loud, dirty, and sexy.
the myth that they were soulless drugged transvestites that couldn't play their instruments is debunked yet agian right here!...the NY Dolls were all heart, man...a pancaked paraody of Jagger/Richards supreme!...

scionsukka, Fuckin best guitarplayer that ever lived :) But yeah, that P90 sound is awesome, you´ll find something similar in a vid where Keef plays Sweet Little Rocknroller with Ron Wood.
Johnny fucking destroys this one - holy crap.

Check out the documentary about bass player Killer Kane ('New York Doll')--really touching, beautiful film.
Great song, great lip gloss, great platforms--keep your Jagger and give me Johanssen any day.
