Class.!👍

Thanks for all the great music Shay. Rest in peace. You had sone marvellous achievements

great song

Dee Dee was troubled in his own way just like Johnny, but they were fucking genius songwriters. Dee Dee had a lot of pent up anger about Chinese Rocks cos Dee Dee wrote it - but the Heartbreakers stole it in Dee Dee’s mind. To Thunders credit Dee Dee is credited with that song in the first verse EVERY time they play it. Also Stiv and Dee Dee are both frontmen, personality and talent wise, as well. So those 3 trying to create a band is not just too many cooks but too many ‘primadonna’ head chefs in the kitchen!

Wow! This was a great interview. I’ve seen some awful ones. This guy did a great job bringing Johnnys real personality out. Thanks for sharing!

Amen

Sup, I am a random guy who grew up mostly on Hip Hop and Latino music. I try to branch out though and I recently discovered new york dolls, and Johnny Thunders. His song "Short Lives" is fucking great. Just commenting on how much I love all types of music. Rock N' Roll is the shit. My playlists nowadays tend to be all over the place genre wise, but my rule is if it slaps, it fuckin' slaps.

So cool...Johnny seeing Jimi Hendrix in concert so lucky all the people he mentioned inspired me today aswell

LOL. To be fair, Dee Dee found his favorite jacket stolen away inside Johnny's suitcase in Paris. John had been stealing shit to buy dope and that's why Dee Dee poured bleach on his clothes and smashed Johnny's guitar... It's still really sad that guitar was destroyed though :'(

Some tracks will always be timeless. I remember hearing it and laughing so much when I was only about seven.

Intelligent extremely funny, great sense of humour. And what a musician first off. He gave that les paul junior one hell of a thrashing. Often imitated never duplicated. The real rock'n'roll icon. Maybe it was his time to go, maybe not. But he left a decent little catalogue of music, from lamf to his live bootleg and all inbetween. He had style, attitude and the tunes. Hope there's a heaven and he there chilling with Jerry, sylvain Waldo Billy R billy M Arthur kane sid vicious and many more. Elvis, john lennon, keith moon, chuck berry

Shay Healy would approve of this, RIP

always good craic RIP shay

RIP Shay

Legend Shay rip xx

He had that something special.

He’s so lucid in this interview; doesn’t seem to slurring his words. He might not be a technically great musician but when he played his guitar he made it talk and you could feel it. His sound is instantly recognizable and even if you had a les Paul junior on a dimed twin reverb it was hard to duplicate that sound.

"if i was straight for 50 years they would still call me a junkie" .. yeah...shame

That's probably the last in English speaking interview johnny did before he croaked, a poor oul johnny

This was a great show

Legend

Yo, does anybody know what Gypsy Kings song that is playing in the background?

Better interview with my hero... so together & the interviewer so respesctful

1990 - Billboard top 100 still lame but the Alternative is coming.

When he was'nt wasted, he had potential. smart, talent and friendly.

To the people disputing the date, it WAS 1990. Johnny was in Dublin for a week in April 1990 during which he played a gig at the New Inn on Baggot St. Photos taken backstage by BP Fallon can be easily found online, if you compare them to how he looks here they're identical. I was on Nighthawks as an extra in 1990 and 1991. Shay was brilliant, friendly to everyone both times. As a musician and songwriter with a huge knowledge of music, he was bound to get a good interview out of Johnny and he did.

Mientras esta hablando Johnny Thunders esta sonando en la rocola Gipsy Kinks...... Adrian

Dont f*ck w/ Dee Dee lol..2 legends whose songs will last for years.

Little did he know he wouldn’t live much longer

I met him at the Scrap Bar in NYC .He liked me and walked up with his body guard to talk.We talked about plants and cats...He wanted to meet me for a date but I was there with a very jealous date that kept glaring at us so I couldn't.....He died two weeks later. I wish I could have been there for him...He was a lovely man...

Wow! He seems so.....coherent, lol. Never seen this side of him. Actually seems like a very likeable person. When he's fucked up (114% of the time I'd seen him previously he just seems like a vapid, self obsessed junkie (like most of them do), but here you're interacting with an entirely different person. That Spaceley fucktard was the WORST. Talk about an Olympic level failure. Same ego (some-fucking-how), but with absolutely NOTHING to back it up (he's LITERALLY just known for being a junkie). Gringo, anyone, lol?

Johnny Thunders always looked like a million bucks, may he R.I.P.

I miss you johnny

Hard to believe he was dead a year later.

I'd love to see Al Pacino play Johnny Thunders doing an interview like this!

Still a junkie

looks like lou reed behind johnny, sitting, drinking

Simpler times....

holy shit, Ace Frehley and Johnny Thunders's voice sound identical

Stabber tennis uncle Johnny....

"I hope I don't turn black, though." Yeah, JT is definitely Italian.

Johnny was in a good mood in that interview...

Your black now pal!

He doesn't want to turn black.

Johnny was commenting on how bad he thought the music industry was back then; he would most certainly be turning in his grave at the state of modern music and all the bullshit that surrounds it.

Rock n Roll Hall of Fame doesn't deserve Johnny and The Dolls.

This brings back memories! Glad to find this!

He seemed like such a sweet guy. He wrote songs about the homeless. Bless his soul.

One of the most underrated rock and rollers the real item.
