DEAD BOYS, STIV BATORS & JEFF JONES-with Frankie Neptune, by Paul Tschinkel

A seminal Punk Band from Cleveland that played on the New York club scene in the late 70's early 80's, the Dead Boys' powerful and outrageous performances had the audience jump and scream and go wild.
Here we see a wild and funny interview with Stiv and Jeff at Inner-Tube studio in 1979. The interview is by FRANKIE NEPTUNE, author of a wild and woolly book about his 20 year stint as a New York Policeman called 'NYPD - The way Things Were." It is a must read for those who like cop stories.

I love the power pop tracks like "it's cold outside" from stiv

[@chogokin666]

Poison lady on the last album does this for me also.

[@mrmiz12]

Stiv's explanation of Cleveland music should be taught in a class

[@beastieboy9286]

Ive noticed over the years stivs lips are weird anyone know why?

[@mj.l]

everything about stiv was weird and beautiful

[@evangeline77x]

He had a scar on the one side of his mouth, it looked like his upper lip had been split pretty bad at some point and scarred over.

[@beastieboy9286]

@@evangeline77x Thanks for the info, i think it made him look more badass!

[@everose7744]

As a gay I’m just going to pretend I didn’t hear all that-

[@rtwwwjz]

i think he was joking

[@sharone3039]

He was great friends with John Waters Divine Jane County so I assure you that it is the time and him mocking stupidity.

[@everose7744]

yeah i know, i was only joking. Ive seen a few pictures of him necking on with men too, be a bit weird if he was genuinely homophobic after that bahaha

[@Js2557ty]

He was mocking homophobes!

[@beastieboy9286]

You’ll be fine he meant it differently its more like kiss were homophobes and mocking homosphobes and macho fools.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

"give me your money".. punk was just for show, just as greedy as everybody else

[@JMarinelli]

You realize he’s joking, don’t you?

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

@@JMarinelli no he wasnt

[@RayonConmar]

Over your head

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

@@RayonConmar he was not joking

[@RayonConmar]

@@LarsRyeJeppesen how much money do you think the Dead Boys made?? If it was all about money Stiv wouldn't have joined a punk band in 1976.
