      I saw Johnny Thunders way back in the late 80s at the Cabooze Bar in Mpls. Johnny and I got into an argument/fight in the parking lot and I hit him over the head with my Vintage Models Suitcase that happened to have a bottle of booze in it! He started to go dowwwn as security rushed into the fray. Note I was a twenty- something 110 lb girl then. Craaazy times in Mpls back then! I lived at the Entry, First Ave, and the local tavern the CC Club. Really cool times.

      @Bjarnarr  Před 10 lety +2

      I think its been released under 3 different titles or so. Mine was called "Thunders, Kane and Nolan : You cant put your arms around a memory".
      My CD from the gig is called eve of destruction, so you can probably find it under quite a few names. The gig is from 87 :)

    • @MisterCritch
      @MisterCritch Před 10 lety

      Bjarnarr thanks very much mate! I'll have a look under these names! I own a few by him.. But a lot of the time he's gouching out or seems pissed.. But he seems pretty straight headed here.

    • @Bjarnarr

      I know what you mean! I have like 20 cds/bootlegs from him. In some, he's out there.. . However in others, like this.. He's awesome, like few others.
      Johnny was all about the spirit, the attitude in the music. The guy really had soul, and when he DID pull it off, he did it very well.

    *The real father / godfather of punk rock.* Johnny and the New York Dolls started it. Johnny and the Heartbreakers formalized it.
    Punk rock = rockabilly & surf rock with distortion and piles of heroin and cocaine.
