[oscardelatorre]

Well thanks salmonico for sending an intelligent and rational response(some other folks arent doing that).do you you know when or where it was recorded??Jt sounds especially wild and i cant quite figure out who the bass player might be,any guesses?

[deepelmdesciple]

@oscardelatorre Bassist is Billy Rath, I assume. I actually know the dude, lives right here in Jersey. You can look him up on facebook too.

[lurtzrock]

nolan hell and thunders... what a band...!

[8754richard]

@lurtzrock Richard Hell wasn't in the Heartbreakers when they recorded it. And he wasn't on the only studioalbum LAMF either.

[lurtzrock]

@8754richard they were the band when it started and without hell, they never had tried to cover chinese rocks

Great song. Lure was the better guitarist. Just listen to his solos they're in key. Johnny was all over the place with his sliding but that was his signature sound. Still a kill fuckin' band. Up there with The Sex Pistols.

[scrashthepunkstar]

This song sounds just like Pills, a song the New York Dolls covered in their first album.

[lurtzrock]

@scrashthepunkstar maybe becouse johnny thunders was a doll

[babagoo58]

It's TOO much junkie business

[oscardelatorre]

whhen was this recorded?

[salmonico]

@oscardelatorre Doing some research i found this version on Down To Kill, a compilation of demos and rarities of the Heartbrakers. Theres a version of Street Fighting Man played by Walter Lure with the Ramones!

[andymccoy78]

Now you're dead! dead dead dead!

[suzesrc]

great video memory

bo diddly,chuck berry,walter lure..toobad they never all 3 played live together..walter lure to me is probley one of the most underated guitarist,he carried the heartbreakers,waldos,and demons

[maida1982a]

don't think walter carried the heartbreakers, altho he was a key part-saw them several times in the mid-70's; it was johnny's band, personality and signature guitar sound that was the key to this band. and that johnny had come from the dolls gave them instant credibility and recognition.

[tatethompson1234]

ive got tons and tons and tons of heartbreaker bootlegs,seen tons of gigs on dvd and stuff and more than half the time johnny was mumbling lyrics and not even playing guitar except for solos witch walter played alot of em also...with out walter the band would of fell apart very quickly.
