Johnny Thunders - Pipeline (live)

Johnny performing Pipeline live and picking up a fight with a guy named Spacey (who casually died while this documentary was being made, not as a consequence of Johnny's anger, of course). From the documentary Born To Lose: The Last Rock & Roll Movie.

[@TheNewGranada]

i think there some sort of divine intervention with johnny's guitar....for a gibson to first be used as a club and then dropped to the floor without a headstock break or neck snap was an absolute miracle

[@dalakerdaniel9240]

I agree may they all Rest in Powder ☠️💣☠️ 🏴‍☠️

[@xt0rt333]

this is when gibsons were built to last

[@JoeyDNo3]

And still sort of in tune as in not shouting " just stop and tune the ..... thing) "

[@trevor-johnsen]

That's Henri Paul's melody maker 🤑

[@zippymufo9765]

That's because he barely touched him with it.

[@1967lovechild]

I’ve read comments that say JT was a terrible singer & guitarist. This video clearly demonstrates how he played with his SOUL. I love this video & have watched it 25 times & I only got into him one week ago. LOL. He’s the best.

[@jonyscrewzo]

U can say that again :)

[@SoftDrinksOfChoice]

Who said that? I think he's one of the greats. The styles kinda sloppy but that's the point.

Sober and pissed off Johnny was at his best, he really showed what a brilliant guitarist he was. It's criminal how overlooked he is

[@tatethompson1234]

Anderson Cooper 9 out of 10 people don’t know who he is, who the dolls or the heartbreakers were. He’s very underground still.

[@speakertreatz]

I doubt he's sober here, but definitely pissed off

Originals in music like Johnny Thunders are sadly missed by me and I'm sure the majority of people who are looking in on these videos. Thanks so much for putting this out for us, AstralSilence!

I look at videos of Johnny thinking that he’s still alive and then when the videos end, i realize he’s dead 😢

Everything about this is so rock & roll! Right up to the guy dying soon after getting bludgeoned by JT's Gibson. Now I feel like I should quit my band and get a day job....

[@user-is8wt3be4h]

ジョニー弱えぇー！w

[@DementedMax]

His name is Gringo not Spacey. He's the main man of NY city and has his own movie. I feel I'm the only one that realizes this.

[@DementedMax]

he is dead though, sharing of intravenous which resulted in HIV.

[@Polkadottybatty]

No, his name is indeed John Spacely. He was born & raised in So. Cal., like I was. He was a fixture on St. Mark's Place.

[@DementedMax]

Watch story of a junkie the opening monologue is riviting in a caustic sense. He went by gringo in the movie perhaps that was his NY city nickname? I know that guy was railing heroin for some time even in story of a junkie which is my second favorite film next to repoman

[@Polkadottybatty]

Yes, the movie was originally titled Gringo when it was first released in 1983 or 1984, but upon its subsequent (& MUCH more successful) re-release a few years later, it was re-titled Story of a Junkie. He was known to everyone he met as John Spacely (a name he picked out for himself, since he found his real name to be completely unacceptable) from around the 1960's onward. Before he left for NY, though, he did NOT use heroin at all. He used to drink a lot, but didn't do heroin until after Cindy left him to move back to Washington & later got killed in a horrible road accident. All of those horrible things combined (including her early-morning spontaneous abortion) proved to be too much for Spacely to bear on his own, & he tried heroin & ended up getting hooked. By the time he cleaned up, however, he found out he had AIDS & ended up passing away from it in the mid-90's.

[@DementedMax]

"John Spacely". Not spacey. And I know all this. And people were hatin.

[@ryanhunt1205]

Is this guy French?

[@jonyscrewzo]

Evidentemente l'eroina era poco buona quella sera oppure scarseggiava, comunque lo schiaffone che prese da Spacey RIP(morto di HIV per chi non lo sapesse) lo rinsavì perché è la versione migliore di "Pipeline"in tutti i suoi live!! grande Johnny!!
