Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Clem Burke on Johnny Thunders, Heartbreakers, L.A.M.F.

Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan & Clem Burke talk about Johnny Thunders, the Heartbreakers and the ‘L.A.M.F.’ album. Iggy met Johnny when the Stooges and New York Dolls crossed paths in the early 1970’s. Bob Dylan played Johnny on his radio show. Clem Burke (of Blondie) grew up seeing the Dolls and Heartbreakers and is a big fan.
Iggy Pop’s weekly radio show can be found at www.bbc.co.uk/...
Billy Rath played bass in Iggy's band on the initial part of his ‘Soldier’ tour in 1980.
Bob Dylan’s ‘Theme Time Radio Hour’ has finished but many episodes can be found online. Johnny was a big Dylan fan; he covered Like a Rolling Stone: • Johnny Thunders 'Like ... and Joey: • Johnny Thunders 'Joey'... (Btw in the 80’s Johnny moved to a private methadone programme when his manager took him and Jerry to a Harley Street doctor.)
Clem Burke’s interview comes from a L.A.M.F. live tribute with Walter Lure, Wayne Kramer and Tommy Stinson, filmed and recorded at the Electric Bowery and available on CD, LP & DVD at the Jungle Store. The full Clem Burke interview is here: • Blondie's Clem Burke o...

Iggy has a song tribute to ol Johnny Thunders called " Look Away" . Beautiful tune And yes, LAMF is top tier rock n roll. That album opened my eyes. ONE TRACK MIND

[@DCB728]

If one gets a eulogy from Iggy Pop, and it's a good one, you know they were somebody special.

[@jaynecounty]

That is a very suspect Dylan voice.

[@junglerecords]

That's how he sounded throughout his Theme Time Radio shows. Maybe they faked the lot!

[@leahflower9924]

😂

[@michaelvolgare4454]

​@@junglerecordsI think Dylan's voice was faked.

[@kuanyin9192]

I thought so also at first, but it is indeed Dylan. This clip is taken from season #2, episode #55 of The Bob Dylan Theme Time Radio Hour. The full show is on the web.

[@deadbabiesinvomit]

What? I hear a lot of Waldos influence in this Lp. The Heartbreakers were a good team

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

We all know where Depp took his style for his character in pirates of the Caribbean, it was totally Johnny thunders. The voice was more like Keith though

[@leahflower9924]

I know where motley Crue and karate kid got their style from

[@aliceborealis]

@@leahflower9924 Where?

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Depp took his style from al jourgenson or andy mccoy

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Thunders 1987 live in L.A he was rocking the pirate look hard on that tour

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@Leahflower you really are an annoying person, you pop up everywhere with a sarcastic comment. Pathetic personality crisis??

[@sergez6172]

Remember when ya introduced him to dope

[@babywah3290]

I remember seeing a pic of Thunders in his NYD phase doing an exaggerated Elvis sneer and Billy Idol co-opting that look throughout the 80’s. Those English bands wanted to be the Dolls and Stooges so bad😂😂😂

[@nelsonx5326]

What's with Bob Dylan reading a budget Wikipedia?

[@junglerecords]

He played some excellent music on his Themetime Radio shows, and no doubt got assistance from radio producers. So it was probably they who gave him a little background info on each artist.

[@lamper2]

Mix? I thought it"s been pretty acknowledged that it was bad mastering that ruined L.A.M.F. 1:39 Sounds like some intern shoved a note under Dylan's nose and he read about who Johnny was. Actually, it sounds like someone with a clothespin on his nose trying to be Dylan even though yeah, I know it's sadly him.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

It had to do with the vinyl pressing plant their record company used. Found Masters refers to the fact that the original masters were lost shortly after release, so it never got a proper re-release and different mixes and mastering were always being used. What is inaccurate about what is Dylan saying exactly?

[@misterslats]

Dylan is well aware of the Thunders discography. He has said on record years ago that Memory was THEE song he wishes he wrote.

[@nattyboyo2404]

Bob Dylan's speaking voice is even more nauseating than (for want of a better word) his singing.

[@rickprol-pc8ds]

BS. Yer just stupid.

[@bokehintheussr5033]

What Iggy says about the other 3 in the band is funny. Scary looking bunch of dudes. I always thought Walter Lure looked like he could be a Batman Villain.

[@leahflower9924]

Billy Rath was so handsome

[@phantompanther648]

It's funny , Iggy failed to mention going out with the sisters , in last days of Raw Power Stooges..in LA ..... Also he saying Nolan was like John Gotti..... .. .. No one mentions the potential of the band when Richard Hell was in it....that's the T H I N G..... That band lit shit on fire. .. ..it was the first " Scarey Punk Band ".... Nolan quit the band .. .and made no other ' moves '......[ Stint W/ Rockats ] The H e a r t b r e a k e r s..( Stupid name ...) That band , caused the solidify of ' Blank Generation ' Gave the Ramones first genuine Kudos by stealing Chinese Rocks....... It's existence was an empty moment. [ It's my voice heard screaming on Heartbreakers live ....also the Mother's album.....( Total nuts syncophant raver ... ..) You need to know though , l 'asked ' for epiphany....while watching them ... This was what l got ; " ....Nothing is going to happen for this band....." I started screaming.......😵‍💫

[@ffvffv5709]

Especailly since Lure was successful as hell and lived a double life on wallstreet. He was loaded by the early 80s and eventually the insanity that surrounded the Heartbreakers must of been far too much a risk to take on.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

@@phantompanther648the heartbreakers could pack the clubs in all the major cities around the world. They were signed to record labels. It became a niche band. A lot of influential and successful musicians listened to the heartbreakers. I wouldn’t call it an empty moment.

[@crypttonite]

not really true about Walter, old school ny sure, he was the Manager of a large group at a brokerage. His & Jerry’s tunes on lamf are the best.

[@getwhatyougive]

[Well, his death WAS related to drugs. It's my opinion that he was murdered.]

[@FrederickChampaguno]

I watched this movie called Room 37 about his death. It’s a very confusing movie. It made me think that he was murdered because of the money that was on him and the area he was in he just got caught in a circle of bad dudes over drugs. But he did have advanced leukemia too. It’s very strange

[@getwhatyougive]

[@@FrederickChampaguno look up Willie Deville's interview regarding the situation.]

[@elborbah3045]

In New Orleans , Johnny had leukemia , this is right , but his death is still shady . Watch the documentary , it's very interesting .

[@crypttonite]

Walter’s book is funny, especially stories about Thunder’s. Bringing Walter home to his mom & telling her he needs a $100 or Walter is going to hurt him real bad.

[@paulbacigalupi8224]

Johnny had acute leukemia

[@lamf4846]

Advanced too.

[@aleksandardevic5585]

Interesting…especially Billy Rath nice words. Great bend and great persone in this forever…Heartbreakers!

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

I was a Dolls fan as a kid thanks to my parents unbelievable record collection. I wasnt aware of the Heartbreakers till a little later but LAMF like Clem said is such an amazingly great Rock N Roll record. When they did what little dates were left on the anarchy tour they absolutely stole the show and the Pistols and members of the Clash were huge Johnny Thunders fans.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Syl said that Johnny was a completely different kid before a “pop star” that’s still around turned him on to heroin.

[@TimeTraveller010]

1:35-1:37 Johnny looks like a vampire!

[@phantompanther648]

He often got up in Dracula type tie- ascot....

He aged well

Los new York Dolls fueron la raíz, pero los Heathbreaker lo desarrollarón: Allí comenzó todo, ya eran "Punck Rock".

[@bigmaz4002]

Is that really what Bob Dylan sounds like???

[@junglerecords]

Yes; it's this voice throughout his radio show! (And it's funny; nearly all comments are about Dylan, his voice, what he said ... very few mentions of Iggy or Clem or what they had to say!)

[@leahflower9924]

Oh wow this is awesome the godfather giving his godchildren credit

[@TimeTraveller010]

[@rockandrose2789]

Johnny died of leukemia, Mr. Dylan. If your ego allows, kindly check your facts.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

The kind of leukemia he had was related to and caused by intravenous drug use. Notice he says drug related and not an overdose.
