this is what I love about music. You don't need an incredible voice, you don't have have to be SRV on the guitar, but if you gots the talent and the stage presence, like this guy certainly did, it shines through like a diamond. This is excellent....
..i was lucky to jam with both of those guys..and still can't believe they are gone..as well as a few others;tony,charley,dougie..jerry,arthur,allen,dee dee..joey..and the list goes on.
Johnny Thunders showered up at one of our Yardleys. Gigs played my Rickenbacker nodded out on drugs on stage my rhoadie got the guitar from him before he fainted
I am a big Townes Van Zandt fan and keep Johnny and him into special area concerning music. They were both self destructive but at the same time produced some of my favorite songs and performances. Music for ones who want to listen.
@@keenanketsdever590 try Roadsongs. They're covers and it's live, but his rendition of Dead Flowers is beautiful honestly. Sounds like it could have been written by him.
@@keenanketsdever590 also the version of Cocaine Blues he does is amazing too. Townes just sounded like he was in pain and you can hear that pain through his singing and the emotions he illicit from that pain.
this dude could play the guitar deaf dumb and blind let alone stoned out on smack or methadone. chinese rocks & he tore the shit out of "the ventures" surf music classic "pipeline" is proof of that...a great voice, too. he sounds a bit like neil young. he needs more respect. 1 of his last gigs.
He's got my respect and as much as I enjoy his music the general public especially today wouldn't jump on it like other lost artists...my gf for example is always open to new and different music, but she can not stand Johnny Thunders lol
this is one of the most painfully hip dylan covers i've ever heard/seen...and i mean that in the best way possible. johnny was a real one-off. they don't make 'em like this anymore.
Thank God for Strap Clips,I remember once I was in NYC At aClub and I had The pleasure of seeing him play but David Joe(hansen)was screemin lit on my right lovin the show 30 years ago.
its so fuckin hilarious that people comment things like "poor Johnny he looks terrible" or even worse "he has gone to a better place now" on a JT vid !!! i mean cmon,he was one of the most badass musicians ever,and pussies here pray for him to be in a better place???! hedprobably laugh his ass off if he saw what was going on here.....
Mobster Joey Gallo of the Profaci crime family... NOT Joey Gallo of the Gambino family.... The lyrics were originally penned by Jacques Levy for Bob Dylan's Desire album..... In fact, in this version, Thunders mentions "Umberto's" which is the restaurant in Little Italy where Gallo was killed on his 43rd birthday.....
As I said, DJ will never be the legend JT is. JT played this TV show before a couple of sell-out concerts in Dublin. Yo, we need some Syl stuff on UA-cam, too!
man that would have been awesome to see johny playing i that little room. great quality, thanks for posting this, we need another thunders, but alas, there was only the one....
Does the song reference Joey Gallo of the New York mafia, as someone once stated? (Gambino, Bonanno, Lucchese, Columbo and Genovese were the five main mafia families.)
yeah, crazy joe gallo. the song was written by bob dylan. joey was sort of a celeb and hung out with actors wrote poetry not regular wise guy stuff. he was in the columbo family and it's generally held that he arranged the assassination of his boss joe columbo at the columbus circle rally for the italian anti defamation league in an attempt at grabbing power.
frank m : Was just watching a vhs tape of " Crazy Joe" starring Peter Boyle as Joey Gallo, as far as I know it's never been released on dvd, Johnny does a good job here, he was one of the very few musicians that I've met who did H and loved to smoke weed together , of course his concerts we're hit or miss but he sure left his mark in the music world and such a distinctive sound on electric guitar,N.Y Dolls belong in the r.n.r h.o.f!
Robert W My guess is that's about "crazy" Joe Gallo. Member of the Colombo family who went rogue against the leadership and started recruiting blacks (a mob no-no) into his crew. Listen to the song again and John definitely references the black thing. All credit to Shay Healy and Irish TV for immortalising one of the best JT interviews ever
@chicoisdaman Madonna is in while Little Feet is not, so I don't pay any attention to what the suits have to say about anything. The Heartbreakers, Voidoids, Television and the Ramones created an entire genre of music from whole cloth. They were proper rock and roll bands.
My mate told me this was written about Joey Deacon. Anyone know if it's true and who he was? Great song and it would be nice to know the story behind this Deacon chap.
Guitar straps and Johnny Thunders...hardest relationship ever!
so you noticed, Ain't it the truth!
he would have loved clip locks
Truly..well said
Lmfao
I feel his pain.
The sax adds so much to this. Really good tune.
I met him once. A good, sweet guy. That's how I remember him.
this is what I love about music. You don't need an incredible voice, you don't have have to be SRV on the guitar, but if you gots the talent and the stage presence, like this guy certainly did, it shines through like a diamond. This is excellent....
What a beast! Legends like this just don't exist anymore
Hahahah man I love Johnny's blues-voice that he seemed to be so fond of around 1990.
Jealousy is a sin! Johnny was a genius! All the greats are troubled can't you see?! RIP Johnny.
Best hair in the history of Rock & Roll.
I thought Brian Wilson had the best hair in R&R.
Great man, great song, great hair
hes so pure, all he wanted was to play music and make people dance
American speaking English: Did you call me a little creep?
Irish speaking English: No, I said you’re in for a treat.

"you guys are funny lookin ya know?"
Haha, who couldn't love that? DTKLAMF
It'll be 20 years tomorrow (April 23) since we lost the greatest contribution to Punk Rock. John Genzale, Jr., we love you.
The man the myth the legend

can you recommend a Townes Van Zandt album to start with ? , im a huge thunders fan too and people have recommended Townes to me

His version of Pipeline is fucking great. JT was the man. Wish he would have hung around down here for a while, though!
This was almost a year before his death to the day, not one of his last shows at all.
Barely
He's got my respect and as much as I enjoy his music the general public especially today wouldn't jump on it like other lost artists...my gf for example is always open to new and different music, but she can not stand Johnny Thunders lol
Better than fucking Neil Young.
Digging this more every day. Takes liberties worth taking...
Song about Crazy Joey Gallo. It’s in The Irishman. Got shot up in a mafia hit in Umbertos Clam House in Little Italy
Wow look at a CLEAN Johnny thunders. He's so friendly and relaxed on goofballs or whatever.
I IOVE THIS ''MAN OR GIRL'' JOHNNY THUNDERS!!!
this is one of the most painfully hip dylan covers i've ever heard/seen...and i mean that in the best way possible. johnny was a real one-off. they don't make 'em like this anymore.
@carlos7217 Yes!!! His guitar was always falling off. It added to the image of an immense talent who could just barely keep it together.
Thank God for Strap Clips,I remember once I was in NYC At aClub and I had The pleasure of seeing him play but David Joe(hansen)was screemin lit on my right lovin the show 30 years ago.
17 yrs ago today.....the world still misses him
A little off I'd say, jt died in 1991. Was you in a coma ?, maybe living under a rock?..
He had the best hair. Poor Johnny rest in power.
RIP Joey ramone 22 years today…. Miss you
His phrasing......intentionaly slurring lines...then saying others pristine clear....huge talent steps up to a microphone in a little pub....
Beautiful. Johnny was a shining star....burned too brightly perhaps but was always the epitome of rock 'n' roll cool to me.
Johnny such a talent
...Those were the days, jimmie, jeffie, eric, eddie, frankie and daisy may. I jammed with them all too.
i cant believe people are talking and looking away whilst hes playing. i would have pulled my chair up one inch away and refuse to move
God danm this song is soo good i could listen to it all day
johnny did his music and he did it really well. this is awsome
its so fuckin hilarious that people comment things like "poor Johnny he looks terrible" or even worse "he has gone to a better place now" on a JT vid !!! i mean cmon,he was one of the most badass musicians ever,and pussies here pray for him to be in a better place???! hedprobably laugh his ass off if he saw what was going on here.....
Fuck with them heads Johnny boy! Fuck with them heads!
Johnny Thunders and Bob Dylan....you can't beat that.

Mobster Joey Gallo of the Profaci crime family... NOT Joey Gallo of the Gambino family.... The lyrics were originally penned by Jacques Levy for Bob Dylan's Desire album..... In fact, in this version, Thunders mentions "Umberto's" which is the restaurant in Little Italy where Gallo was killed on his 43rd birthday.....
btw This is a Bob Dylan song off the "Desire" album.
grande e unico !!!!!
The sax man.
Brilliant..X
As I said, DJ will never be the legend JT is. JT played this TV show before a couple of sell-out concerts in Dublin.

JoeySong by Bob Dylan
thanx for this not-a-nokia video.

❤️💔❤️💔🎸🔥
I agree with you
its fuckin great, johnny was the best
Damn that belt always came off
Proggie was Night Owls on RTE
I just realized Thunders lifted these lyrics from Dylan's Joey. Always liked this song, but now I'm a bit bummed...
i have the bob dylan album with this song my brother.
johnny johnny johnny...
@chicoisdaman Madonna is in while Little Feet is not, so I don't pay any attention to what the suits have to say about anything. The Heartbreakers, Voidoids, Television and the Ramones created an entire genre of music from whole cloth. They were proper rock and roll bands.
is the music over dubbed from hurt me, another performance, or is it just compressed bad?
it's a bob dylan song. the only thing he changes is he alwyas says redhouse brooklyn instead of redhook and i have no idea why
@idontwantohurtnobody thanks for the advice
Fucking Heartbreakers!
That was in Ireland???nice going johnny joey...
Im not sure...do you know it might have been Ireland
My mate told me this was written about Joey Deacon. Anyone know if it's true and who he was? Great song and it would be nice to know the story behind this Deacon chap.
Is it Sue Ellen Mischke in the back?
it's a version os bob dylan's joey, from desire. and not "joey joey".
so fucking cool
Hey, what's Johnnys' guitar called?
The aucoustic one like in this video...
Too much, too soon... R.I.P
Ovation
Thunders was the best
@Desiree50 THERE AINT NO HEAVEN.SO LIVE FOR 2DAY CAUSE THERE MIGHT NOT B TOMORROW
