Simple. But the guitar tone from Johnny 1:11-1:23 is so rockin'. "Finding" notes... Right? We all know that...well, too much junkie business...

“A lot of people want to be abused, by I’m not gonna abuse them... unless they abuse me” Johnny Thunders.

Day and night. I love you.

Walter Johnny Billy Jerry. One track mind for rock n roll and life as a like. Everybody want something. (he said) to these guys and he has right. I think....

Hah, i had johnny stay at my house in detroit when they played at nunzios gangwar with wayne kramer, back when they had REAL ludes, had z trans am we cruised Woodward and went to het coneys

Rest in Peace Walter Lure 💔 The Heartbreakers are together again, ripping up Heaven

L.A.M.F. NYC next month!!!

good news, they have a film of the band bad news, the band way past prime

Jerry Nolan, very good friend of mine the drummer in the Johnny Thunders Heartbreakers actually taught Peter Chriss from Kiss ow to play Drums. Long live the Heartbreakers and the New YORK DOLLS!

Very cool

I love the song TOO MUCH JUNKIE BUSINESS!

Don't take my comment as a denigration of the rest of the band, they were all awesome, but in their prime, they were as they were titled... Johnny Thunders Heartbreakers.

In 77 they toured the hell out of the UK. I saw them in Feb 77, then Johnny took a LOT more of the vocals and ALL the GT Solos. They were absolutely phenomenal. I wish we could have a record of Johnny as I remember him. Clearly this DVD is not it. Johnny in his prime and "OK" did not take a backseat like he does on this DVD.

hey, come see Billy Raths Street Pirates....rock n roll still lives....it aint all in the past....check out Billy Raths Street Pirates page on facebook and catch up.....you're missing the whole thing......You want to hear it we'll come to you.....we need your support....keep real rock n roll alive

Johnny nunca te conoci pero llevo tu vida de ejemplo aaahhhhh a weeeboooo

Nice to see the man and co so young and alive, as always a mighty spirit.

this is playback?

@pennywise39 without the drug use of the musicians, this music would not have existed...

@mariosthunders Amen!

hey richard8754 man dont waste your time with those fools man,people are used to "easy listening" tunes its no wonder they have become dumbass douches and cant appreciate good music..All the 80's Sleaze/hair metal bands like Motley Crue and G n R were following JT's steps on music and image,he was a punk/glam godfather and until today remains a fuckin legend..screw the rest...

Awesome!

@slurpslurpkitty I see him doing it at the first two points you mentioned but between 4:08-4:13 he doesn't do it one time but you cal still hear the slide and Walter isn't doing it either, I hope someone else isn't playing it backstage...

immortale

Hey Scumbags listen to the great music he made and quit complaining.

@tybeebeech "everybody wants some drug" :)

@JabberOff i think he was a great guitar player but i once saw him play in london and he was so `out of it` as his arm came to strum he was actually completely missing the strings at another london gig he asked the audience `if anyone had a joint` in typical english humour/sarcasm someone shouted `beef or lamb`

just read " please kill me" great book i recommend for anyone who wants the inside scoop on this whole scene.

@creeg Walter just played and had a reunion with Billy Rath. Our two Heartbreakers sounded amazing together once again.

Billy Rath and Walter Lure don't get enough credit. They held the band together,Billy always carrying the rythem and Walter always picking up the slack from Thunders when he wasen't sober ect. Im glad they have gigs of Thunders whens hes completely fine,he was a great guy and very friendly. It's too bad hes known as just a junkie,but to us his real fans hes known as a the James Dean of Rock n Roll,dirty sleezy kickassing guitar wheeling god.

@zosothedestroyer I have nothing against you...

Lure rules!

and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A!!!LUV the cover,id gladly pay the ticket to see you guys!!!keep em coming!!!

enoch powell was a paranoid, vain, racist fascist that died in disgrace. If you want to identify with that, I feel sorry for you. Don't bother to reply, I'll just block you... Thunders was cool-, though drugs are NOT good...

I played on that show with the Liars/Sudden Fun!!!

I saw the Heartbreakers in 1978 at the Mabuhay Gardens and they were AMAZING.

That is how I remember him. As the brilliantly raunchy, colorful, and sloppy guitarist of the New York Dolls, and as the closest player punk had to a Chuck Berry when he was playing with the Heartbreakers on L.A.M.F. That fact remains that he was a junkie and that the shit affected his playing on many live recordings. If you have any shows of his on mp3 that prove contrary to what I've said, then I am all ears. Send them to me. I honestly WANT to be proven wrong in my assessment.

Because if he sounds like an annoying, whinny little bitch and appears incapable of playing guitar (we all know that far from being an amateur, he is a master at what he does) like he does on many live recordings (not this one), then the excellence of his music does not come through. That's why I care. Listen to "Have Faith (Live in Japan, 1988)", "Too Much Junkie Business" (1982) or "Gang Warfare" (with Wayne Kramer of MC5). I emphasize "TRY", because JT sounds awful on those recordings.

HELL YEAH!

John was great, messed or not.

This is a good performance, especially for JT. On most of the live recordings I've heard of his, he is too junked out to remember his lyrics, let alone play.
