johnny thunders being an icon for two minutes and eleven seconds

[@mb14561]

I've been listening to Johnny for years, and I can't get enough of him!

[@leahflower9924]

Jerry Nolan laughing at Johnny's story aww made my day

[@rickyhiemstra9993]

I just got done reading . STRANDED IN THE JUNGLE Jerry Nolan's wild Ride. And Richard Hell's autobiography. Great stuff I'm from across the river and did some time up the river. And that was the persona of the dope fiend the culture was a lot different back then so were the drugs 😵‍💫 Much Pirate Love🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️Rock In Peace 🎸🎸🥁🥁 ToAll🤘🤘

[@Severen-z8g]

I'd say anyone who listens to The Dolls, the Heartbreakers or Johnny solo and don't like it? They have no right to say they like rock & roll. They need to fuck off and listen to hip hop or Streisand.

And he gigged...til he died. RIP Mr. Thunders.

Johnny Thunders best Rock N Roll'er Ever. ♥️😎🎸

[@felixfranzen7578]

Good showing by Johnny in the stage fight where he hits the attacker with his guitar. That guy was like a foot taller and 40 pounds heavier.

[@adriennewalker1715]

That would be John Spacely aka Gringo. So sad, Johnny was only 38 when he died … absolutely tragic 😞

[@Severen-z8g]

Yeah, makes me think..don't hit a dude who can immediately hit you back with the 10 lb. object in his hands.

[@leahflower9924]

Only him and Jerry Nolan could look more manly with eyeliner pretty hair and earrings lol

Thank you!

[@thequeenisalizard6976]

Johnny and Walter tho 😮‍💨

[@Severen-z8g]

lol I knew that was Walter! Man, now I get it more..Johnny probably deserved it at the time.

[@californiagrace6868]

Nice little compilation

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Is there a longer video?? I though it was much longer

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

What was that onstage punch up about, where was it, and who was it who hit Johnny?

[@70shooker77]

Essentially, it was about Johnny’s ‘ego’ problem, and how he forced himself up on the mic by pushing John Spacely out of the way. Spacely was the one who threw the first punch. I believe, if I’m remembering correctly, this happened at Max’s Kansas City in the late 70’s, early 80’s. I could be wrong about that.

[@stealthsadhu306]

Spacely- a wanna-be icon of the time with no talent. Too much junkie business. But Johnny's greatness never fades.

[@xdef1ne]

Where did you get the footage of the New York dolls doing an interview?

[@70shooker77]

i just scouted youtube. some of the clips came from “all dolled up” which was a doc of found footage of the dolls. other sources are just interviews

I'm 55 & saw Johnny & the Oddballs at The Berkeley Sq. 10/22/89 Horrible show by Johnny...Stevie Klasson saved the gig imo.

Johnny was literally gone for this unfortunately
