Ive seen JT on a bad night (this is not one of them), as a fan, I didnt care, cause I loved the Dolls, and I loved the Heartbreakers, and every incarnation band JT put together. He was not so wasted here, he was f-in around here just being JT. Just wondering why Sweden was so uptight during these performances.
He certainly wasn't too wasted to sing or play...And the only drug he seems to "glamorize" here is tobacco - a FAR more deadly drug than heroin could ever be (check the death stats) - but I don't think the clip was banned because of the cigarette. It was presumably banned from a kid's show for far stupider reasons. Load of B.S.
who gives a flying fuck kids prob wanna do drugs after seeing this cuz they see who their enemy is its you and ur sick fucking society, makes me embarassed to be a swede,
To do drugs and destroy your body in your own privacy is fine by me, but when it fucks up the show entirely that people payed for maybe you should reconsider. This was pretty funny though.
John was cool once, but this was just plain silly,what we see here is a little dwarf,hellbent on self destruction; he weren't no Iggy Pop,or Pete Townshend, that's fo sure.
C'mon people, why are you watching Johnny Thunders if you all are all of a Sudden the union of Christian mothers? Why all that fake morals? Johnny Thunders was cool, here and in any other video you may watch, I don't give a damn if he was on drugs or not, if you are here to watch stoned people do stoned shit then type 'Jackass' and you'll find what you need, if you're here to watch some great music then let's talk about Thunders' musical quality, absolutely original voice, and huge influence.
If this was indecent, what do you think these people would think of the almost naked humping, stripteases and whatnot in music videos and performances today.
I never said it was a prerequisite ... again, who are you to make a judgement about his writing ability? Are you just another guy who sits back and reads rock biographies and believes most of the crap shoved down his throat?
@bracioled when did rock'n'roll become about being Mr. Clean. I have seen many people messed up much much worse than this, he really isn't that fucked up, he is just having fun. Rock'n'roll is freedom, to say fuck being like you -- Mr. youtube commentator who never wrote a song to compare to Human Being, Pirate Love, Personality Crisis, etc. In closing, FUCK YOU.
@devinmillermedia Since when did shooting that shit in your veins become a prerequisite to playing rock n roll asshole?JT's material was always borderline great but ultimitely fell short due to his inclination towards self destruction/heroin.Grow a brain dummy.
@bracioled Ted Nugent doesn't do drugs and his music completely sucks. If all you wanna do is live as long as you possibly can and play it safe chances are you're never going to make "art:" that anyone will ever remember.
maybe johnny thunders WAS on heroin at the time of his clip. or maybe he was suffering from a chemical imbalance and his erratic behavior was due to mental illness. or maybe he was just putting on an act........
WoW! So clean! Love the sound on his guitar. Longtime fan, in fact saw him 2 times before this show in NYC and Long Island. Would love to see more. Thanks!
@jagfug im w u man love his muddy yet sweeet sound. It takes alot of soul to pull that move off at the end of the clip..the timing when he kicks his strings...fuckin way rad
..and the problem is?....
