The New York Dolls "Personality Crisis" Craig Ferguson show

[@douggrey6253]

The New York Dolls debut album is an incredibly underrated album….It flat out rocks!!

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

Underrated? It’s one of the most highly rated albums in popular music history! What are you talking about my friend! And to this day it is still revered among music critics pop culture media and rock and roll culture. USE A DICTIONARY FOR ONCE BY READING IT TONIGHT INSTEAD OF USING YOUR DIK YET AGAIN TO JAC OFF TONIGHT OR manipulating a young woman’s drink taking her home to insert yourself while she is passed out. Let’s be very serious. Those are the two possibilities you are guilty of if you are average looking with no personality or you might have a long term gf or you are exceptionally good looking thus I envy you and still want to insult you because although I have an education I want to be more handsome how dare you

Steve Conte can really work a guitar, One of the really great live performances by The Dolls.

Totally awesome to see David Johansen and Sami Yaffa n hear one of the all time Dolls classics Personality Crisis!!! Always dug the dolls since the 1970's, still great to see this version of the band!!! Excellent!!!

at least died naturally like arthur kane who died at least with some dignity unlike jerry and johnny which is a shame.

[@CliffG]

Never seen that before -- friggin awesome. Saw Johansen so many times in the late 80s early 80s. Thunders more times than I could count. Bravo!

[@SK-le1gm]

This song is quite a prophecy of the social media age. Which can be summed up, in toto, as a *Personality Crisis.* _”Wanna be someone who cow-ow-ounts...”_

[@huascar66]

This.

[@MooyakAttack]

I always thought he said, "wanna be someone who kowtow ows" I might be wrong though..

[@TheMldytwkr85]

I was there for this taping, unfortunately it wasn't taped with the whole Craig Ferguson show. It was shot in another room during the daytime even on seperate day possibly. The whole room was just that stage. There was no desk or space for anything else. Great performance but shocked to see how TV illusion works. Got to hear 2 songs then they booted us out😅 Saw the edit in like 2 weeks later in time for Halloween. I was super stoked I got to see Sami Yaffa tho🖤

[@LuisHernandez-hw7dj]

Interesting information that you shared. Perhaps it was taped separate due to conflicting schedules? Still, what other late show would have on the Dolls except the Ferguson show. Craig's the best for allowing real rock bands on his show.

[@tomasagustinveravicentin7789]

They can still beat the shit to any modern rock or metal band

[@andremesquita9317]

Sure yes!

[@AdonisMediaProductions]

Great response, super intelligent person you are, i can tell. @jemimallah2591

[@katjalahdenranta2417]

You know Steve Conte and Sam Yaffa are playing in Michael Monroe Band? I saw their two gigs in Helsinki, Finland just this Saturday. Was so cool. Michael again rocked the stage with such energy it is amazing he isn´t 20 years old!!! I felt proud of all the guys, including guitarist Rich Jones and drummer Karl Rockfist. And for those who have ever been Hanoi Rocks fans, I can tell that Nasty Suicide made a lengthy, happy guest performance during the gigs. Awesomeness.

[@MarioEscovedo]

Yea, I still keep in touch with Sami although I haven't seen him since the last show in Los Angeles.

[@AlmostReady504]

Awesome!!!

[@GrayNeko]

This is why I fell in love with this band! The song is falling apart, and they don't give a fuck! So raw, so rank! Godmothers (I think they'll except this term) of punk rock!

[@SL-vi4tk]

David Johansen survived that 1970s New York madness while countless contemporaries are long gone

[@iliketowatch.]

I'd rather listen to Sylvain Sylvain's or Johnny Thunders' guitars plugged in and feeding back than most of the music of today.

[@philgillies7918]

RIP Sylvain Sylvain

[@Mrpublicimagelimited]

Funny how nobody can quite replicate the sounds Johnny Thunders used to squeeze out of his guitar..

[@tatethompson1234]

That wasn't Steve's job. He's his own guitarist and brought his own approach and added a lot to the songs making them popular again, especially with younger crowds. Same thing with Brian and Sami, they gave these songs their own kick in the ass ball of energy that was needed for The Dolls to continue and tour and make albums. Sadly It's over.

[@averyetvspecial1487]

Tate Thompson lol I’m sure plenty of young audiences were turned onto the Dolls via their handful of reunion lineups 😂

This band that I stumbled onto in 1984, 10 years after their heyday, sound electric in this 2008 performance, 34 years after their heyday, from the vantage of 2021, a million years after my heyday.

[@whatcher8151]

me, the first album I wore out!, got it hot off the press along with aerosmith and queen and kiss, gimme the NYD's. Fortunate to see them about 75ish in Dayton. Heck with that band line up I could have stood for lookin for ah kiss, vietnaese lady, Frankenstein and Jet Boy but David would have huffed & puffed and fell over. Who are the mystery girls. Trash as the overture! Damn it.

50 years ago, these visionaries predicted today's Pronoun War and some other idiosyncrasies. They should have changed their acronym to NYPD, New York's Phenomenal Dolls. David Jo Hansen is a legendary frontman and for sure one of US's best comedians from last century on, in the short-listed category of ''Contagious'' (you know, alongside WC Fields, Groucho Marx, Jerry Lewis). Long live the living Dolls.
