  • Johnny Thunders interview. Broadcast by Tele5 Germany Sept 10th 1988. The promo for Crawfish was also broadcast, but I had to edit that out due to youtube copyright claims. Recording received as part of a trade with a friend in Germany late 1988 on SP VHS TDK E-HG tape. Transfer to digital video by me August 2017.

    So good to see him like this. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him, played some shows he and stayed with my girlfriend and I a few days. He was and is one of my greatest heros and I found him to be everything I hoped he would be. Humble, polite, laid back, and generous.Hanging out playing acoustics ( I asked him to show me how to play Babylon, he did ) and going to the store for food at 3 am, and doing the other stuff we had in common, it is a great memory in my life. I gave him a button of James Brown off my jacket that he liked, and he gave me hand painted tux jacket. I thought he was wonderful, and very much like he is here. J.T. Forever!

    Met him a few days after this interview, and he was simply as nice and loveable as shown here! A fantastic person, very polite, shy and simply loveably nice! A true one of a kind!

    He was a good songwriter. Going on stage fucked up was not a good look and did is talent a disservice. But when he was straight he put on a hell of a show. In the Flesh is a good live show.

    Johnny looked great here , but if you watch from 1989 he went into a rapid decline, he was sick...I suspect the start of aids

    • @baronsaturday9560
      @baronsaturday9560 Před 6 lety +13

      Lymphatic leukemia made him so sick, and probably killed him in the end. In the docu 'Looking For Johnny' his death certificate read he also suffered from livercirrhosis.

    • @StephenKramerstevefunk
      @StephenKramerstevefunk Před 6 lety +5

      yeah but Lymphatic leukemia is a common condition associated with aids.....I'm convinced Johnny must have picked up HIV in the early 80's NYC shooting galleries....it would be a miracle if he didn't have it, his buddy John Spacely died of the disease around the same time thunders died

      How sad. I always thought it was just addiction issues outside any major disease. But I can see all of those things being possible.

    • @felixfranzen7318
      @felixfranzen7318 Před 2 lety +10

      Yeah, but he had a wife in Sweden and they had a child in 1987 or 1988. The wife/girlfriend didn't get no aids, still alive and well today. So that theory can't be right.
