I think that the Dolls were the epitome of rock and roll and never sold out like the Stones did. People often think that the Stones were 'original' but the got it from others like Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.

this is a very lucid johnny .. he was really a smart, funny, interesting man when not strung out.. sucks to not know what he would have done musically .. he's still relevent even today, many people listening to his music and talking about him ... rest easy bro.
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.
He knew full well that even in his day there were people far more interested in writing about music than being a musician, Lester Bangs, Robert Christgau, Greil Marcus, then the UK 80s school of rock writers, Simon Reynolds, David Stubbs, Julie Burchill loads more. Maybe the only writers that hung around him were parasites, he seemed to attract a lot of groupies and yes men, genuine rock writers would have been bored with him by the mid-70s, he didn't have much to offer a writer, same old story of failure, wasted talent and drug dependence? Not exactly hot news. Johnny was a great guitarist and had a great rock n roll persona but he had an inflated ego to match.
@@speakertreatz it's not even inflated compared to good old Rotten, that song London boys was for him the rest of the pistols were friends with heartbreakers
MrOmareffendy Hes clean he has his new daughter and gig wise there were good things coming up But if the years correct Hed be murdered in 91 April Hes,not wearing the crazy Kabuki make up
@@DDios-ih9de most importantly not wearing that Kabuki make up. It just made him look mental and like his face was melting. He did an interview with UK presenter Danny Baker around the same time as this one, but with the make up on. It was a bad omen for the interview..
Johnny Thunders was fuckin' cool, and smart, and had more rock and roll built into his DNA than just about anybody else. Ever. People don't really have that anymore. Maybe Keith Richards.
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.
@@vincentbyrne2394 you're right, my mistake. Even back then I used to get the names and locations of all those pubs mixed up, in particular The Attic and The Earl Grattan. It was bad enough if you were going to them but when my band were playing at any of them we ran the risk of turning up at the wrong place.
This was around the time that I was a big Johhny Thunders fan(still am). I missed one of his shows in New York when I was visiting. Less than a year from this interview he was gone. I had never been so pissed in my life. I loved this guy!
johnny really seemed like he was doing really well at the time of this interview, one of the best RIP old friend thanks for all the great music and wisdom
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.
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.
Zephead76 ai think the year is off He's looking better here 90 was a rough year.he was incredibly ill with Hep C HIV...so warn out and tired.. Hes not wearing that weird Kabuki make up he did later in 90 He was at deaths door by then Its confusing He was murdered in 91
@@mjh5437 No. Never confirmed not even in his autopsy. Just rumors that dude is spewing. He did have Leukemia though and Hep C was also likely with all the booze and IV drugs...but the AIDS thing was just a nasty rumor. Layne Staley had the same rumors of AIDS, losing an arm, gangrene...none of it was true. They both had bad teeth and health in the end, but Layne didn't have any diseases, had both arms, and like Thunders just had junkie folk lore piled on his name
However it's exactly because of the so-called "Malcolm McLaren concept" that The New York Dolls bacame well known outside their New York circle gaining a lot of fans namely in Europe where they were ALWAYS much more appreciated at the time than in most of the USA except OBVIOUSLY for NY (and the same GOES for JT & The Heartbreakers)!

Love the way he makes interviewers squirm,in our sanitised politically correct phony world,aint it refreshing to see some one talk truthfully,it seems heroic to us now,but that is how phony the media is now,hes just being real.
You said "Songs" plural, so is it an album called last race/ How many tracks and do you know where or how to get it? As for j.T. goes i love Both the Dolls and the Heartbreakers but some of my favorite is his solo semi acoustical stuff, So Alone and the one I think called Hurt me that has joey Joey on it. Dee Dee, Stiv, and Thunders were all great in their own respect.
Given his lifestyle for so many years he looks reasonably well here, given he was also ill, pity, he was cleaning himself up. Have to say, I was still quite shocked and annoyed when he died, has Willy DeVille told all he really knows about that day?
that's usually how long term dope users die. they go through a clean period, relapse and have a hit, but their tolerance is very low so they go into respiratory failure.
No Wilkie didnt publically tell the thruth or he knew John was there He knew alot..thats why he packed up and left his house in New Orleans He was scared
@Nyquilcoma IE Homeless were cast off to the streets due to shelters/asylums closing in 89-90. They congregated in Tompkins Square. It got on the news big time. Suzanne Fellini wrote a song about it, we shot a video in Tompkins Sq, the homeless people were outraged and thought we were exploiting them. Really sick and insane situation.
@AriiianeD Oh since you wrote in english I assumed you would understand. They are talking about Dee Dee Ramone burned all Thunders clothes and his guitar. Then they talk about how he hates the word punk,and hes rock n roll. Also how if he was clean for 50 years people would still judge him as a junkie. Then he talks about how Malcom Mclaren ruined the New York Dolls,and also how Thunders loved The Sex Pistols
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!

@gorehoundgirl he's full of shit about that Dee Dee Ramone Story. That or Dee Dee is. One Junkies word over another and I love them both but knowing the drug heroin as intimately as I unfortunately do, they probably both think they're telling the truth. Dee says he only agreed to go under the condition that Johnny wouldn't be there and he walks in and there sits Johnny.Dee Dee also says it was over a stolen jacket that J.T. Always wanted and finally took it.
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 :'(
