  • brutal....se nota que los primeros Japan estaban muy influenciados por ellos, grandes los ny dolls, muñecas duras de roer

  • which ones sylvain sylvain?

  • @ryler99 the guy on the white falcon guitar, the curly haired one

  • Comment removed

  • we wanted to be like '' the newyork dolls and the stooges '' Paul Stanley from K I SS '' BEHIND THE MAKE UP ...

  • "Mock Rock" who is that guy, anyway? Does anybody remember him? The Dolls are playing again, but can he keep his snot near his body?

  • All I see is Buster Poindexter! I just discovered these guys on here and I like them. ( I was born in '76) I like Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Ziggy Stardust and Bowie, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash.... I'm gonna listen to these guys and get to know them better.

  • Artie asked me to see his band at Max's. They were fun, but the loudest ever, louder than any other of that scene or the later one at CBGB. I had to salvage my hearing by stuffing wet napkin into my ears. Yes, David looked like Mick, and so what. Watch "Scrooged" and see how he looked later.

  • the guitar player is an old school emo xDDD

  • Saw them live with Crue and Poison, absolutely amazing. I thought it was weird how everyone was gettin food when the Dolls were performing, their such a great band,

  • this guy is like the poor mans mcjagger but i still like this

  • PUNKS NOT REDS

  • the lead guy sounds a little like David Lee Roth.

    I like these guys. they have very good punk sound

  • @Queenrocks2020 but looks alot like jagger

  • @bullpentherapy lol exactly :)

  • y r these guys touring with motley....

  • If you dig the dolls check out Kickstarter "drinking game"

  • what the heak

  • @GrooveThingTV yeah i know...also worth noting that Malcolm managed The Dolls when they toured England...

  • @stevlachance do your homework buddy! if it wasn't for the dolls none of those f@ckin fake hair bands would be around.... bow down!

  • @007hepkat I'm sorry to upset you but I just dont think the singer is good. He's a wanna be Mick Jagger. If they got a singer that didnt make freaking scary faces and had a good voice they could get somewhere. Honestly thats what I think. I'm 11 so I honestly dont listen to THIS glam. It's too much glam. I went to the Motley Crue Poison concert though and it ROCKED!!!! I just posted shout at the devil if you wanna go check it out but you don't have to if you dont want to.

  • Why is this crappy band touring with Motley Crue and Poison? This band is TERRIBLE!!! Worst thing I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Jerm8U not meaning to make you upset. How can you possibly get that upset over music? Seriously? It's just a comment. Not meaning to upset you that much. I'm sorry.

  • @stevlachance1 poison blows anyways. They're so horrible live

  • Lady's and gents. ROCK. Everything nasty, everything pretty, youth, glitter, squallor.

  • creepy ? ziggy stardust.. david bowie.. ... the times were very very androgenous... rocky horror was alive and well also. its just another chapter in music history :DD

  • creepy band (exceot for johnny) but great music

  • Were these guys ever friends with VU or Lou Reed? Just curious.

  • yeahhhh :p

  • I fucking love this band and this song!

  • these guys suck dick!!!! david johanssen is a wannabe mick jaggar and the rest of the band suck cock!!

  • @MrJcutler06

    You make out like it's a bad thing.

  • David Johanssen, managing a Burger King? Um, no. Touring this summer? Yeah. Hells yeah.

  • And on the 7Th day He created glam.

  • I think it is absolutely wonderful that the NY Dolls will be on tour with Motley Crue & Poison this summer celebrating the Crue's 30th anniversary! Lovem or hatem, it will be a great show! Always loved the Dolls and the Ramones!!

  • Uncanny Likeness To mick jagger

  • @MrVapourtrail71 Rather creepy isn't it? I know that Dave's better though.

  • This sucks the big weenie. Bunch of fags in drag.

  • @welkepman ur too much of a pussy to say fat cock so why dont you shut the fuck you stupid fucking little kid you dont know what the fuck your talking about!

  • Lead singer looks like Butch of the original little Rascals

  • Love this song and this vid.

  • People need to give credit where it's due. Everyone thinks the Dolls started Glam Rock. They didn't. Long before them, there was a black man in the 50's that ratted his hair, wore eyeliner, lip stick, screamed his ass off about having sex with women while jamming on his instrument. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Little Richard!

  • They'd be the Stones but they suck so punk is a good analogy. They don't suck but they copy. They gave what the audience wanted. Look like Mic sound like shit.

  • Ye man,he is a creepy motherfucker him,hes like some kind of legend in the UK,

    how fuckin sad is that,fucker still still above ground as well,hes about 204,looks like somethin out the fuckin mummy.

    Anyway New York Dolls,fuckin shit hot,some sad stories on these dudes.

  • Comment removed

  • I know its already cliche but these is one of the most overlooked bands of any era...Raw,Innovative, aggressive....how could you sleep on a band like this?

  • hahaha great song great band but whos the creepy dude at the end

  • johnny looks great in this video!

  • THE DICTATORS RULL

  • NO BO YOUR ALL RETARDEDDY KNOWS A FUCKEN THING ABOUT A FUCKEN THING. YOUR ALL RETARDED.....

  • saw them live at emos in austin, worst show iv'e been to...

    still a kick ass band though.

  • Wow, I haven't seen this in... must be 30 years!

    Thanks!!

  • mock rock......fuck off!

  • One of the great rock band Front men !

    He rarely gets a mention..........stayed underground.

  • Im going to see these guys on Saturday night for the first time!

  • Jagger, much?

  • rEAL MEN DOING WHAT REAL MEN DO!

  • dude on the right looks just like greco haha

  • Jim Greco's idol! hahaa Johnny Thunders!!!

  • Thunders is God. Johanson just blows, completely mediocre singer IMO. If you like him please don't take offense, it's just the internet and I'm just a bug in the web sounding off.

  • i would love to be there, i'd give up my sister!! or even to watch this when it debuted im sure would just blow my mind sky high!

  • Rock N" Roll Baby!

  • Johnny Thunders <3

  • The Dolls were preforming this when John Lydon and Sid Vicious were still art students trying to figure out "What should we do with our lives"?

  • half (yes half) of the riffs on the first and ONLY real pistols album were lifted directly from thunders. and FYI sid did not contribute to that album in any way. sid was a nice fella though (really ... a pussycat) he once saved me from a bunch of students that were trying to kick my arse ... bonfire night 1976 ... an early clash gig @ the ICA.

  • wish these guys-MC5-Stooges etc would get more credit for punk rock

    The Sex Pistols usually get it all....

  • @joydivisionboy1 the stooges tend to get plenty of credit, but yeah NYD and MC5 don't get the credit they deserve.

  • @joydivisionboy1 I think fashion and politics play into it...

  • No one fails to give the Stooges credit.

  • @joydivisionboy1 Yeah for a good reason too.The fact that you even compared MC5 to the pistols is a laugh.i like this song and the dolls but not MC5 and the stooges even though the pistols loved them.

  • drummer looks just like Nigel from Spinal Tap...

  • @thrtywun how dare you insiult one of the greatest people of punk with that shit!

  • Bob Harris' retort is the perfect end to the performance. Rock'n'roll needs contention. And I think Buzzerifier is trying to ironic, at least I hope so for his/her sake.

  • i wish they would show kane more often

  • Football terraces chant

    greetz from Argentine

  • Ho! Isn't it a shame ? And how disgracious the clothes they are wearing ? Women clothes ? It is really an attack to the good people in this city over here! I'm gonna stop that rumble. (hey, hmmm, ho)

  • The funny part is that new York dolls got all the girls back in the days. And it's not a shame it's awesome, don't be as the rest, find your own identity, so why not wear women's clothes. And many bands got inspired by the clothes like kiss for an example.

  • @Gukkke: Yea, I'm afraid that with the distance of time many today don't really understand the spirit of Glam fashion. It wasn't about being gay (unless, of course, you actually were gay) it was about having fun with androgyny--campy gender blending.

  • no its not why does it matter? hell just shows how theyre not afraid of people like you, you hate homosexuals too dont you old man?

  • aerosmith based their career on this band

  • interesting , jhon pell called mock rock then back the new tendency sprung anywhere , new york dolls rules

  • the presenter was Bob Harris : )

  • brilliant!

  • This is pretty much the original band. Jerry Nolan is the 2nd drummer. Johnny Thunders, is in the black jacket. Syl Sylvain is playing the White Gretsch. Arthur Kane on bass. David Johansen on vox.

  • Is the guy in the skull jacket sylvain sylvain? Or that other guitarist? Anyone have his name?

  • Comment removed

  • The guy in the skull jacket was Johnny Thunders. Sylvain is the other guitarplayer.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah you are right, I been thinking the wrong guy was Thunders all this time.lol

  • The Dolls were a great band,.a friend in school turned me onto them in 1974...they were just way ahead of their time...Too Much Too Soon!!

  • Fuck yea there way better than kiss! Kiss sux.

  • New york dolls are so much better than KISS

  • Although they looked girly, they had slept with like 100 girls within a single night.

    How do you explain that to narrow-minded guys? Just be yourself, no matter what others think. Be cool and spit on conventions.

  • nimrod who said " don't listen to this if yr. under 40" or whatever .

    this guy is clearly an idiot ..

    this song is AMAZING i'm 24 years old and trust me i have very good taste in music so as the dolls would probably tell you back when you were a fake punk " fuck off"

  • btw this is the shizzle

  • I was into this years ago, but as you age you begin to realise what a pile of old shit we listend to - And top of the pile was this utter crap from the new york dolls

    So, if your under 45, please dont listen to this track - its shite!

  • what a ..

  • Its like watching a transvestite Mick Jagger... SPOOKY!!!!

  • I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

    someone smart please help me f7

  • Comment removed

  • rap sucks and hip hop sucks,

    rap especially takes no talent

  • this type of music takes no imagination

  • What type of music? Rock and roll? And let me guess. You listen to...?

  • he prolly listens to madonna as he dances around in his mommas panties

  • @wowterd Don't be so ignorant of other genres. Just like the rock of today is mostly boring, pretentious indie bands and poor imitations of older bands, the "hip hop" that is popular today is nothing but a crap, talentless, meaningless extension of what was once a great style of music. Hip hop, like rock, used to be intelligent and important.

  • i can see why these guys were so copied the list of bands that were influenced by them is a who's who of rock

  • u suck

  • ha me too i heard of them on truelife i dont fit in

  • good time rock

  • i love this Song

  • Simply Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • what the fuck is mock rock? and if that is some sort of insult than someone should fuck that guy up

  • Yeah, it was meant to be an insult. Bob Harris. He didn't take them seriously and expected no one else to. Ironically, they helped create a movement and he was a 2nd rate Tom Snyder, at best.

  • ugh I hate that guy he is always talking shit about amazing bands I think he said the exact same thing about AC/DC

  • Give him a break. He likes ELP, Yes and Steely Dan. He's obviously got some sort of brain damaged so, it's not nice of us to make fun of him or his retardedness.

  • oh my I feel horrible I had no idea he was retarded I feel really bad now =[ hahahah

  • Yes, yes. We all feel bad. He ended up managing a Burger King, I think. Shortly after that he literally masterbated himself to death while listening to I Don't Want To Go On With You Like That by Elton John over and over and over again. Sad, very sad.

    Seriously though, you wanna get some people together to go throw garbage at his house?

  • ok I couldn't stop laughing when I read that

  • @BobbyJoeThorazine what are you talking about?

  • Comment removed

  • @BobbyJoeThorazine

    This is the most amazing arrangement of words I've read in a long while. Why can't all arrangements of words read like this?

  • I know where Johnny Thunders is Buried at

    At Flushing Cemetery queen..i think all i know is that he is out here ;) and i love the dolls and the ramones...YESSSSSS

  • you serious ?i live minutes away

  • shido

  • Love the pumping bass baaaaaabeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Hey Cats! The Dolls & Ramones were friends - but the Dolls preceded the Ramones by a couple of years. They all hung out together in NYC before any of them became important or famous. The even played each others' songs.

  • Underated band !! They're as good as the Ramones .

  • Pretty good performance considering they were lip-syncing.

  • THE COULD RUN YHE COUNTRY

  • Johnny Thunders, best rock hair ever!

  • RIP Johnny Thunders,Jerry Nolan and Arthur Kane

  • F here alone and bored and horny x

  • This mix of Glam Rock and Protopunk is awesmome .

  • this band remind me hanoi rocks lol !!

  • Where do you think Hanoi rocks got their inspiration from? :) Michael Monroe was a good friend with Johnny Thunders, and actually plays on a few of his albums.

  • The singer reminds me of Mick Jagger.

  • These guys really were the best rock band ever. I like Johnny Thunders the most. They are all cool anyway.

    The Shangri Las are the best girl group. Mary Weiss is my favorite, I like them all though.

  • mock rock?FUCK OFF BOB ,annie was  better than you any day.

  • indeed

  • is that jim greco???

  • lol

  • yes thats jim greco^^

  • lol, it's johnny thunders.

  • no..

  • You are all wrong. Its Jerry Seinfeld.

  • Cool song

  • All you young puppies commenting need to really think of the timeline and history here.. This is pre punk pre motley crue and cinderella Pre everything that is NOW! Although history will not that much remember The Dolls.. They were undeniably a force that changed everything.

  • Incredible, this is 35 years old!

  • this is really rock'n roll

  • Wonderful music!

    Great.

  • fucking love Jamie Lee Curtis

  • hahaha...nice.

  • David Johansen is Buster Poindexter?!?! FTW!

  • Far out in terms of clothing and style, Thunders takes the cake he looks like sid vicious with nikki six's hair, absolutely awesome

  • Johnny Thunders is a legend but that little attempted duckwalk was terrible...Leave it to Chuck Berry.

  • pure rock n roll

  • The Dolls Bitch The Whistle Test.

  • one of the last true glam bands just alive

  • I see them tonight together with the sex pistols and the buzzcocks!!!

  • Lokerse Feesten :D

    It was fuckin' awesome!

  • cool, but johnny thunders the guitarest is dead so it wont be as good.

  • this song is fucking 35 years old. WTF...

    Also, if some retro mall punk fag rock whiney scream band, had come up with song today it would be a huge hit.

    Today's music is fucking lame

  • I agree ALL of today's music totally sucks! 4ever live on NEW YORK DOLLS!

  • This is the best band ever! I love Johnny's 60's white vox teardrop guitar. The New York Dolls are very entergetic. Their music rules, they're good people but have made a few mistakes, and the move around a lot! (except Arthur, called "the living statue of rock 'n roll!"

  • why does everyone confuse jerry nolan and bill murcia

  • I can't even come close to imagining the amount of drugs these guys were on when they wrote the lyrics to this song...

    "Jet boy stole my baaaybay, flying around New York City so high like he was muh baaaybaaaaay!"

    lol, Jetboy either stole your baby, or he was your baby... can't have it both ways man

  • jet boy stole his girlfriend and he's walkin' around town like a badass like his baby and acts the way the girl acts even though he didnt act liek that befor, like using the same slang words and shit. how did you not figure that out

  • his baby's the only one who deserves to walk around like they're special. but noone really does man, who needs girls.
