    Johnny ,t'as nourri ma jeunesse!

    Thank yu!!

  • good stuff. the sex pistols can suck my ass

  • it's born tOO lOOse, sucker

  • @2quundar

    "Get it, you Limeys?"

  • @Rottenhaus It depends on which album you are talking about I think you will find and anyway there are two versions of 'Born To Lose' I have with different words. You plebeian, waste of space, if you ain't got anything good to say why bother anyway.

  • @spungenvicious

    "Where you come from, it's called "Born To Lose". Where I come from, it's called "Born Too Loose". Ya get it you limeys?" - J. Thunders

  • @2quundar born to lose, fuck-head

  • @1964chrissie No it's not. It's Born Too Loose, I have LAMF on LP and Cd, and also he always said " this ones called Born Too Loose " Listen to them carefully.

  • @tatethompson1234 sorry you're wrong, when the single Chinese Rocks was released the b-side label was misspelled as born TO loose, anyway it comes from a biker/hell angel saying born to lose live to win, also his tattoo said born to lose, my copy LAMF spells it born to lose, misspelling is also a bootleggers trick to skirt around the law

  • @1964chrissie Then yours isen't original. I have a original first pressing from Track Records and it is listed as " Born Too Loose ". It is the title of the song, and people have thought it was born to lose so it stuck. Walter even says " Born Too Loose" when playing it live, Johnny also did too. Im not trying to argue but the official title of the song is Born Too Loose, and yeah on bootlegs spelling is horrible. I have tons of Ramones and it's like Blitzkreeg Bob instead of Blitzkrieg Bop.

  • @tatethompson1234 first pressing! with the infamous fucked up sound? truth is were talking here about period in time "the british Punk era" that is so mythologized both deliberately and by accident that know one knows what the fuck was going on, Track records couldn't get the sound right or the spelling! there is of course the possibility that this was deliberate, maybe ? anyway who knows!!!!!!!??????

  • Jerry Nolan, LAMF!

  • Americans created your Rock Punk!

  • @MrRastaManDan but the british showed you how to play it

  • @MrRastaManDan but the british showed you how to play it

  • thumps up if u heard this song on skate 3 and u liked it

  • It sucks and rocks in live singing at the same time.

  • @sk8formystery123 i wanna kill myself now that i heard this was on there.

  • @coldironhands1 That is pretty pathetic...

  • johnny thunders here looks like the singer from the arctic monkeys

  • @wipers86 lol ur right he does look like him

  • @wipers86 So the Arctic Monkeys singer was born before Johnny Thunders was he? Does time travel backwards?

  • @Johnnystrychnine i never said he was born before johnny thunders i pointed out that in this clip johnny thunders looks like the singer from the arctic monkeys

  • cmon chicky.....dont listen to that lizerd, he dont know how to treat a pussy , listen to the dork

  • DAMN VvvV , did u study for that or what

  • VvvV is gayer then wimpy luhr

  • User idontwanttohurtnobody is, to quote User boitahaki (sp), an "amateur troll". Incessant, but untalented even at this dubious objective. Feed him, don't feed him, he will be out not only at night but whenever. Perhaps just abuse him; admins will look on trash talking him more favorably than they would otherwise, probably

  • Luv u back too, asshole!

  • @chickybluetherealone IDOLOVEYOU

  • @chickybluetherealone  imthroneyouwant

  • JT and Nolan were high style.

    So boyishly hot here.

  • @chickybluetherealone HELLO SWEETYPIE!!!

  • @chickybluetherealone YOU STINKIN WHORE

  • but he could play guitar enuff , that when TOLD what to do, he could be usefull, why do you think Johnny T. picked the bitch up. shit johnny ramone even punked wimpy luhrs week ass.....

  • you wanna know how hardcore wimpy lure's ideas were befor he got with johnny? his band the demons were doing lief garret and shawn cassidy cover tunes. get it , lure has no balls, never did.

  • becouse we study and learn neat words like etemoligy....you stinkin faggit

  • Why can't we all have peroxide hair and bad etymologies?

  • look at his face at the end of id rather be with the boys clip, the accoustic one with him and eliot, when he is sayen en be with you, fucken terrifying if you pause it , but with the words pretty f'n enduring. the dude was quite a character.

  • Johnny knew people were going to live off his legacy the same way people were liveing off of elvis, and he hated that thouight, people makin money from who he was, and what he did. remember folks, and you better believe wimpy lure knows thats exactly what he is doing. people want to be close to johnny, and they feel by being close to wimpy lure thet are being close to johnny. so actually, they still dont give a fuck about you , YOU wimpy lure. You go fuck youself.....!!

  • he could of plyed his music there, and had a very good time doin it. but he wasent interested in that. he wanted to steal JOHNNY'S THUNDER. well now johnny is dead, and he can finally steal johnny,s spotlight with his japanese made band the dicks, or the wally's, or whoever they wish they were, and boy o boy is he excited about that.

  • walter lure goin around sayen shit about dead people  he never would have said if they were alive. he has allways been butt hurt about bein in giant thunders shadow, thats why he got an office job.....an office job? WTF! proof he really aint one of us, doin somethin none of us would ever even consider doin if we could, fuck that dude, he is posen. he could never make any money with his guitar in new york or any where else in the U.S., but people in europe thought he was cool.

  • his face at 0:12

  • LAMF is the Greatest punk Rock Album of all time in my opinion

  • Yes it's called " Born Too Loose" aka "Born To Lose" and "Born Too Lose " ..Stop fighting over the title,the are all acceptable. Enjoy

  • JT makes it quite clear on the DTK Live at the Speakeasy LP, that the title is Born Too Loose.

  • YES

  • skate 3 baby!

  • @SwaggaBug Skate 3 is the worst of them sadly.

  • born tOO lOOse! it's the real tittle of the song!

  • @2quundar it's the title of the album, the name of the song is born to lose

  • @priyatanuroy erm, it's embarassing to insist, but : I bought LAMF at the beginning of '78 ( or perhaps at the end of '77!) . It's a 33rpm, & I keep an eye on it . & this eye can read " born too loose". Even Wikipedia write " born tOO lOOse" but add :" aka born to lose", 'cause the cool people turned the tittle this way. He was not a loser. Goin'steady!

  • That's rock and roll.

  • love this shit. just good r n' r, baby.

  • esto era punk!!!!!!

  • @punkisdead36 Además de verdad

  • My band Nazi Butt does this song. Only we say "born 2 lose ... darkie, ur born to lose." This makes the punkhippies really mad.

  • @ebonics4everyone  hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahaha

  • Comment removed

  • @ebonics4everyone nazism is so 1940´s...

  • what's not to love

  • whatchyear tho

  • song is born too loose not born to lose.  quite different.

  • @MrPeteyBalls oh THANXS!!!!

  • Skate 3 FTW!!

  • i were born to lose and i lost

  • Pual Maher from the Buzzcocks was pretty good too.

  • This was filmed in the club called Barbarella's in Birmingham.

  • Born too LOOSE.

  • hat e american shit but this is one of the best songs ever, undiscoverd by the marketing twats who couldve made a fortune out of this, was a classic couldve been an all time great

  • How much I miss going to rock'n roll shows like that. Rip Johnny, rip Jerry.

  • "Two fags and Jerry"..

  • This is an anthem & epitomizes Johnny & all of what rocknroll should be. Todays junk is just that, pure junk w/ no imagination or style. No one stands out today, but ALL in some way have copied this man. Johnny we still love ya more than ever bro.

  • Lovely

  • Skate 3

  • @MrLordpain i know lol i heard this song on the teaser trailer of skate 3 its awesome : P

  • Comment removed

  • @idcmore8 And people who spell the word gay as " gheyyyzzz " must be gay.

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe you should try other euphimisms in you comments -idc-

    I too think, dudes that say 'that's sooo gay"

    suck big dick ,in a good way ;]

    This band was fucking sloppy,but H☼T!

  • @PAULLONDEN Well I am glad. However, the term wasn't and is not always meant in any derogatory fashion. Oh well I'll remove it cause it doesn't seem to be very favorable. I actually said that cause of the whole drag thing. Kinda like a joke ya know? Oh well.

  • hahaha, you can't tell in this video, but in the original footage waldo is wearing his tie inside out, it makes me lol.

  • narcotic squad under cover operatives ,nyc is our oyster

  • fuck i could listen to this song 100 times a day for 50 years and not get tired of it

  • merry christmas

    feliz navidad

    born to lose!

  • Johnny was the James Dean of rock & roll ...

  • @Dollstribute No way, Paul Simonon was the James Dean of rock n roll. Johnny Thunders was the... umm.. Johnny Thunders of rock n roll!

  • @Dollstribute johnny drew the drugs at a higher speed, than james drew a car

  • Where are you jhonny ?

  • Johnny and Jerry were so freakin' cool.

  • ROCK n ROLL

  • Comment removed

  • this was in the Punk Rock Movie by on Letts , wasn't it?

  • Johnny Marr looks like Johnny Thunders doesnt he

    okay nevermind

  • Sometimes, yes

  • looks like al pacino

  • Jerry Nolan! The best punk drummer EVER!!!!

  • @clone67 Sorry that accolade goes to Topper

  • No way...Topper was good of course! But nothing beats the PURE RAW ENERGY of Mr.Jerry Nolan!

  • In TOP form!

  • The ultimate band!The fuckin'Heartbreakers!

  • A video game...

  • Mighty fine pogoing at the front.

  • Check out myspace/ragdollpa

    AMAZING BAND!!

  • Good to see Johnny in great shape, Walter looks great as well and Jerry..well, Jerry is the best!!!

  • Haha! Whats wrong with the drummer at 2:46 ?!

  • Was saying to me boy the other day-plenty of great bands in the Noughties,but they're too tight,restrained & clean-da exact opposite of this gloriously ragged pumping mess of a tune! Garage RnR-just can't beat it!

  • haha i also only found out about them from skate 3, which lucky me found the trailer so u guys check it out at my channel. sorry if you think this is spam.

  • skate 3

  • thunders was totally street and about as real as real could be......and it was NOT pretty.....he was so far ahead of his time it's not even funny........todays punks can't even come close to the original punk........RIP Johnny....c u soon......

  • lol skate 3 will have this song

  • SKATE3 !!!!!

  • pre order it u get the black box skate park

  • killer!

  • Did Don Letts film the whole show, because it would be so amazing to see it in its entirety. Walter's eye makeup and duck walk plus Jerry's intensity with the platinum look are so awesome.

  • I never liked the Ny Dolls but this Johnny Thunders Song is my favorite It reminds me of when i was 20.

  • just the fact we're discussing JT almost 20 years after his death shows HIS influence. Just about every musician has been influenced by someone else and it keeps going on and on...it just pisses me off the Dolls were so coped by KISS, Aerosmith etc. Without the Dolls, they wouldn't exist. Read somewhere, Johnny taught Steve Tyler how to tie his scarves. Too mch too soon!!

  • an apt descrption...

  • great song

  • After hearing 1000 times this song in the last week i need to switch to Paul Stanley's "Live to Win"!

  • haha dude thats killer

    born to lose

    live to win

    hahaha

  • its only funny when you know the cheesefest im refering

  • man i checked out Paul Stanley's album before he came to Australia in like 2007 or something

    ITS TERRIBLE

    glad i skipped that one at the record store

  • your dad never played stuff like this.

  • how do you know.he acually did play shit like this all the time!!!

  • no dad who played music like this would ever let his kid grow up to have favorites like "alien ant farm".

  • What a stupid thing to say. Grow up, would ya?

  • fuck you and your ugly child.

  • Nice. I would have expected something more intelligent from someone who likes King Crimson, Leo Kottke and The Minutemen, but hey. Just shows you never can tell.

  • just as i would have expected something with a minimum of ballsack from someone who likes the heartbreakers, but hey. just shows you never can tell.

  • Yeah, those Chuck Berry riffs lay unheard and dormant until you discovered them.

  • that comment is punk as hell in its self bro,i like a person with strong opinions

  • I wasn't trying to be punk The band is just shit.

  • so what do you call a band?

  • Ha, you like Zwan & The Vines! Stupid coont!

  • Comment removed

  • It's cool how most of my favorite (and greatest) punk bands are connected - Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Johnny Thunders and the heartbreakers, Television, even the New york dolls, its like a bad ass family of cousins and all that! wish i could have bad brains and the dictators in the family as well ='(

  • The Ramones are in that family too, Marky was in The Voidoids.

  • yeah i actually just found that out last week. Dig, the Ramones are where its at too

  • yes marky was the drummer for the voidoids and richard hell was the original bass player for the heartbreakers

  • great raw rock n roll!

  • Hey Johnny, kannst du uns grad seh'n? Wir vergessen dich nicht! Wir werden überall von dir erzähl'n, damit dein Name ewig weiterlebt

    (Die Toten Hosen)

  • never forget my friends, rock n roll is powerful shit!

  • punk is powerful shit! only one thing that i want, it's the only way! ah living in a jungle...living in a city it ill eat, eat out your heart...

  • thanks for the replies to my post. This song is the quintessential anti-pussy song. Not commenting on the drug aspect, just the sound. It makes pussies want to run to their mothers. Long Live JT.

  • and if you don't believe me, just play this song to a suspected pussy.
