KATE K the one who playing guitar here with Johnny it's me Henri Paul and we do care about the people so why do a guy that I know say that . And when I posted this clip I said it was play back we were doing rockpalast right after that . LUV . R n R . Henri Paul ☆
People troll or don't know anything about TV music performances: most shows obviously use playback because it's much cheaper (according to tv execs) than having performers play 'live' and broadcast it as such. Anyway, you put on a great show and the music rocks too, obviously! (Fireworks on a TV set?! How cool is that?! =v )
The rumor I heard was about Henri filling in on a demo and it does in fact sound a LOT like Jonnny's "signature sound" if it is him!...... anyway, thank you for this upload- any Thunders videos, audio, etc. is always appreciated by true fans :) Please ignore the people who come in here to just spread ill manner and speak in vain for no reason! I am very happy to see your uploads, and hope you continue to share stuff with the general public! It's very generous of you and anything is better than nothing, especially when he's sharing videos w/ us in memory and for free! THANK YOU Henri Paul, and bless you!
I’m from Ireland 30 now and unfortunately I don’t know anyone that knows the dolls or the heartbreakers they’re missing out. I love the sex pistols, my dad bought me a live pistols album when I was about 11 and it blew me away. BUT I don’t think there would be pistols without dolls. Malcolm Mclaren stole some guitars off the dolls when he stopped managing them and you can see Steve Jones playing a white les Paul with a pin up girl sticker on it. That was Sylvian sylvains guitar he used live for jetboy
Even if it is obviously playback/ lypsinc I find this piece of archive absolutely amazing (it most cases the tv show decides if it will be lypsinc or not don't blame the musicians), Let's enjoy what we have here this is great
watching it again 3 years after, realizing the mic was on also..so we hear his live voice too...anyways, blah blah blah this is great! Thanks for posting
@@TheVinnyt63 no never with the New York Dolls Then with the band he create The Heartbreakers. After The Cosa Nostra and the Black Cats that you can see here . R'n'R
I saw him at Irving Plaza in 1985 with this band. It was a great show. I remember Michael Monroe came out. Great times. JT was one of a kind. What a great band!
..........yet a small glimpse of the greatness of Johnny Thunders......R.I.P..........and Henri Paul and the Black Cats layin the rhythm down....BAD ASS!!!!! Thanks for sharing........would love to find this, sans the credits crawl......some dumbass saw fit to run them over this killer performance......sadly.
I was just another high-school kid in the 1970s who grew up worshipping at the alter. I only got to see Johnny Thunders once in the late 1980s. Inger Lorre and the Nymphs and the Hangmen opened for him at the Coconut Teaser. He looked a little out of it and like he couldn’t wait for the show to be over, as if he had something waiting. He only played for an hour, but it was still one of the finest hours I’ve witnessed in rock and roll. Just a natural super talented rock and roll star.
I saw JT at the limelight in the late eighties 88 ?? Possibly.? Yo he was on that night jamming at the edge of the stage sharp. Admittedly I was n the throes of my own junkie business. I am close with a close friend who he confided concerning his illness. He was aware of his circumstances without a doubt. Even now in my near mid fifties he"s still the standard as Jerry Nolan said there was so many Johnny clones out there he never received his proper due. Never his sound . Too much Too soon was handed down to me from my older sister ..
@maltbeaver I personally think the raw sound and production of lamf was great. Just like the les paul jr with a single p90 it was loud dirty and bare bones. But that's just my opinion of course
@tatethompson1234 yes My mistake the b is next to the n on the keyboard and did;nt check before I posted.I had the 12 inch version.and I forgot the d as well!!!! thats roxk an rolp for ya!
Yes, I found that out going down the comments on this page, Henri Paul commented on this video. I clicked on his thumb nail picture and he has a video of himself hanging out in the living room with his Mom, it's odd. I checked out his plat list too. Maybe I'll try communicating with him some day. I recently learned about Johnny and find him kind of fascinating. I like his guitar playing, it's great rock, and I'm not sure what it is, maybe he's economical in his style, not burying the listener in guitar, interjecting with it. He's very good and that Henri Paul guy is a cool stage presence too. Rock and Roll!
For the first few years it elevates them. Then the last few years of a decade the drugs start to sink you about 5 or 6 years into it the downfall starts slow then the last few years it gets hectic. Unless you take breaks and dry out here and there for a good amount of time. But no junkie ever does that unless they are completely broke
Does anyone know who the 2nd guitarist here is ? The only person I can kinda match a face to who I think Johnny Thunders played with is Peter Perrett but I don't know...
@@henripaultortosa3022 Thank you. I can't believe I asked that 9 years ago lol, and the guitarist in question appears to have answered my question. All good things to those who wait ✨ ;)
Johnny was a trip.... really was a sweetheart.... I reaally curse myself for having to expel him from my house in the Hamptons during the summer of 77 but he was doing all of my heroin!!!! the blood klat.... he really didn't give a shit about anyone or anything.... even his music.....but he was quite fond of narcotics....
Did anyone else notice that there lip singing. I still love the band, dont get me wrong. But if you notice the drummer fucked up on the drum roll befor the guitar and bass solo
Err surely whether they're miming ain't really the point with Thunders??!! Not exactly a good spot, there are no guitar leads plugged in for a start Oh & it's lip'synching' pedant...go listen to Coldplay
Hahahaha...You're a VERY funny guy if you think anyone didn't already know Gilmour is "technically superior" to Mister Johnny Thunders...He was the best ever for reasons you'll prolly never understand... ;-D
LAMF did not sound rough. It was " over produced " and too polished off if anything. The whole band hated it. Jerry Nolan left because he thought it sounded like crap. Johnny had his own mixes, Walter tried his own ect, they couldn't get it to sound right and the record company was fed up and just ended up releasing it. If you listen to the demos , they are a million times better.
Smack sucks...(for some people)John was one of 'm. Fun to watch ,yeah, but pathetic at the same time.We see a little dude here,that lost all respect for rock'n'roll.Sad waste,he had some good tunes.
I love this, natural charisma, Johnny has a good vibe, good presence. But I couldnt help but laugh at the black dude drumming cause he looks like he doesnt know where he is and why he's there but he's doing a good job anyways. "who are these crackas!?" LOL

Bless you too sorry if i didn't answer before but I put the Cosa Nostra band together again we will tour again soon .
For my own personal reasons, I will NEVER allow anyone to bad mouth Mister Johnny Thunders without a response...

Johnny was an awkward dancer . He wants to be Wayne Kramer but doesn’t have the grace.
You gotta love Johnny Thunders. Wow he could rock. His energy gives me goosebumps.

Johnny could still rock even in the midst of cancer diagnosis. pirate love lyrics are rudimentary, yet the solo is bad ass
I think that dude played with Big Audio Dynamite

I just love Johnny Thunders and Henri Paul,they're two great r'n'r guitar players.
Henri Paul rocks! I heard he actually stood in for Johnny on an album cover and nobody knew it wasnt thunders?? could be rumouer
I saw him at Irving Plaza in 1985 with this band. It was a great show. I remember Michael Monroe came out. Great times. JT was one of a kind. What a great band!
Henri Paul, brilliant rhythm guitarist! Even Herve said so...

A fantastic rock´n´roll performance! I love that energy!
Playback or not I still love to watch❤
Great video, I so wish I could have seen Johnny play with Henri Paul. But so glad I got to see Johnny in LA in 1990.
Cool moves from JT here… such a great song! ❤
Standing right in front of the CBGB stage for this one in 1983 and he stuck the mic in our face for the "voodoo" line...
Really loaded with good energy.
Holy cow this is amazing
Believe it! You got a walk that walk and talk that talk is Native American believe, and I Rock Out to the whole song.
i think johnny thunders is awesome he is one of my favorite singers
Henri Paul....he played with the Maniacs, too...at the Mont de Marsan french festival in 1977.
And Ian Curtis from (later on) Joy Division was in the audience.. He travelled all the way to France to see this first European Punk Festival..
That's a ROCK STAR.
Tnx waaghals, toppie dit!
Go Johnny!!!!!

JT was a junkie bro, great guitarist, but a junkie. Junkies die. That's what they do.
Wow, I love all those bands! That would be a dream gig for me...
Henry Paul on guitar!!!
Awesome Johnny thunders love his music straight punk rock n roll NYC style ❤️🏴☠️🎸🇺🇸🫵
My sweetheart Henri Paul!! ❤
A focused Johnny is good to see!
Johnny and his alter-ego Henri Paul at their best.
Now just imagine if Johnny was ever sober, just how entertaining he could have been.
@maltbeaver I personally think the raw sound and production of lamf was great. Just like the les paul jr with a single p90 it was loud dirty and bare bones. But that's just my opinion of course
You can contact him on facebook...Henri Paul Tortosa...he's very cool!
J. T. and The Fabulous Spliff Brothers, came to a town near You.
And the right hand Henri Paul Tortosa.....R'n'R
Hey Henri how cool was Johnny to play with, the embodiment of cool?
Thank you.
And big girls always want more
The Heartbreakers' lyrics aggravated Richard Hell. Nice tunes though. I've always liked their melodies.
nevermind i just saw someone already posted who it is.

Skate rock motherfuckers!!!
The question is do drugs elevate the artist or sink them? Who knows.
You can take that two ways.
Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend were the top song writers in their day. Drugs and alcohol were the norm?
For the first few years it elevates them. Then the last few years of a decade the drugs start to sink you about 5 or 6 years into it the downfall starts slow then the last few years it gets hectic. Unless you take breaks and dry out here and there for a good amount of time. But no junkie ever does that unless they are completely broke

it was bad mastering-the mixes were fine
