You nailed it man. Without his music I’d of prolly off’d myself a long time ago. Johnny hung in there cause HE HAD TO PLAY MUSIC . He was clearly meant to be doing exactly what he accomplished. Having said that FUCK DOPE ! This is just a general statement. Not directed at you man ! Dope is not cool, you won’t be a better guitar player with it . Johnny was a drug addict but HIS MUSIC IS WHAT WE ALL LOVE !
I don't get all the wasted talent comments. Millions of junkies with tons of talent OD and die every day without leaving behind any legacy at all. Despite all of his issues he played in some great bands and left behind a lot of great records.
don't matter how you waste your life, I mean like what you might define as a waste some define as thriving and sometimes vice versa, as long as you didn't regret it or hurt too many people in the end, and especially if you leave something for others to enjoy or be inspired by, its almost impossible to define anyone's life truly as "wasted". Its no secret that he was a misery addict more then anything coming to the end, with parental issues during key developmental years especially from a father who is present in the home but has no interest in his children which was the case for Mr.Genzalle and Lil Johnny growing up, speaking from experience it creates a very needy but closed off person sometimes described as "too hard to love,too hard not to love" from ex's close friends of the person ,Immediate family ,its always the same someone who cant love themselves cant love others and I suppose the mans problem more then drugs was the inability to love himself and there are definite signs of that situation throughout his professional life and relations with both his wife/wives' and kids, admittedly drugs will exasperate both sides of this condition depending on what side of things your life finds its self on that week
I think by wasted talent, people mean to say that he could’ve spent his time doing MORE, from what I read he was an incredibly hard core junkie. Some people experiment lightly with drugs and others are totally consumed by it - he appeared to be consumed by it, he was super charismatic and talented, he was unlucky only in the fact that god refuse to give him a loong life, anyways May he Rest In Peace (I’m getting sad writing this)
RIP Johnny Thunders. One of the all time greats. GNR covered him and so did the Ramones. Fucking Heroin sucks. Fentanyl even worse. I worked in a treatment facility in the 2000s. He could have been a big time star. He almost was.
Johnny was fantastic....true rock n roll with real blues roots he studied the greats and in his own way became a great himself. though short lived his song writing was extremely impactful. You really feel the sadness in his writing. (im aware he did not write this song)
Thunders on the nod! I'm glad to be clean (well on Methadone weening down) I couldn't even get high the last few years of using but seeing the nod makes me miss that heaven... but as blissful as it is.. you deal with all the pain double fold.
+ jamkaret I feel you, bro, been off methadone for two months, now. Slipped, a couple of times, but nothing more than a misguided weekend, so far. Keep strong.
Well, he had Leukemia, so either way it would have ended tragically. In fact, there are many who now believe it was the Leukemia that actually killed him.
This is a collection of old videos of Johnny on the nod. He's blasted in almost every clip. Ha! My favorite clip is of the cute girl at 0:57 .... you can almost see a look of disappointment in her.
Del lp BOOTLEGING THE BOOTLEGERS. Lo tengo en vinilo y en cd. También está en mi CD FOR LADIES ONLY, puedes intentar escucharlo en cd. Yo no sobreviví a la heroína sino al asqueroso negocio musical. Lo más chungo y lo más difícil es sobrevivir a los putos médicos de los cojones, más aún sobrevivir a los que mienten y a los que gustan de colgar etiquetas como "se droga" para continuar con su carrera de terror y muerte.
Esta concretamente me quedaba mucho mejor cuando mi voz no estaba destrozada por las estúpidas medicinas. La buena noticia es que el público ha desaparecido. Casi todo el público ha desaparecido.
"If you want to here Born To Lose, just go in the bathroom, bang your head against the wall, it'll all sound like Born To Lose. Anyway here's Disappointed In You."
why is it that everyone idolizes this guys heroin use instead of his music? He was very forward thinking in how he stylized his guitar playing, but when high he SUCKED and the rest of his band carried him.
It Must Be A real Burden Johnny Trying To Sound Always Like Your heroes ? .. can't wait To Hear You ..You The Real You ..one Day ? see Its Only The River keith Wigley .... and other songs ..
Yeah but that imperfection in the singing gives the song a special touch. I feel a human suffering doing his best despite all his problems. The sax decorates that imperfection
This rendition always fucks me up. Not that I complain. Johnny the fucking legend.
Oh my god. What a legend, respect from Bosnia.
When I go through tough times I hear Johnny thunders. He has great music.
I'm the same. ❤ 💘 ❤ 💔
Johnny saved my life 💙💙💙RIP
Me too

Walter Carpenter I love your passion ! Hope all is well on your end .
That sax gave me goosebumps
the sax gave me herpes
melancholic man
strange ways
crazy sways
lonely eyes
pain in his voice.
Well, that s probably definition of true artist, which Johnny was without doubt.

He waste his life. You don't get it? He could have been so much more.
@@jameswarhol442
So much more to who? He lived his life on his own terms, no one has to be anything or love up to your or anyone elses expectations.
@@mentalstanley2191 So much more to himself.

The Stones WROTE it. And Marianne Faithfull made it a hit. And she didn't botch it like this.
@@j.c.b6473 GNR didn't cover this, they covered Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory, which Johnny Thunders wrote.
@@tohellwithgoogle4261 I didn't say they did.
Simply loved it. It has a lot of soul
What a fantastic version.
jesus .. learn the correct chords
Johnny was fantastic....true rock n roll with real blues roots he studied the greats and in his own way became a great himself. though short lived his song writing was extremely impactful. You really feel the sadness in his writing. (im aware he did not write this song)
Amazing! The sax is touching my soul.
Emotiva hasta los huesos. "Johnny Thunders forever in our hearts"!
Johnny was an incredible artist and his impact on music scene was an enormous…his personality and his songs are timeless!!!

Thunders on the nod! I'm glad to be clean (well on Methadone weening down) I couldn't even get high the last few years of using but seeing the nod makes me miss that heaven... but as blissful as it is.. you deal with all the pain double fold.
More like ten fold. Good luck man, i'll be getting on methadone soon.
+ jamkaret I feel you, bro, been off methadone for two months, now. Slipped, a couple of times, but nothing more than a misguided weekend, so far. Keep strong.

JamKaret you just read my mind.
Yep That HEAVEN & Hell..= GIFT FROM GOD but BIGGER CURSE FROM HELL= LIKE DROWNING AT SEA= DAY BY DAY!

Perfect song for him.
Emocionante .obrigado Johnny 😏😏
Mr.Johnny Thunders,"hey is Dee Dee home?".

Wow! That was great. The long black coat at the ending ... Everyone should get one. So elegant. Simply gorgeous.
The best version
13th & 3rd. UK Club.
Rest in Heaven Johnny
Hell of a video for a hell of a song
Hey Kevin , did you ever live in Boca Raton???
Beautiful
Good to listen to man if you don't feel so good...
Sencillamente Brutal !!!
Johnny's voice , AMAZING x
para siempre nuestro amigo johnny thunders!!
かっけぇ! What a cool. .
Sad song - bad end for this R'n'R genius
Ti voglio bene, Johnny. Love from Italy
Dios te tenga en la gloria amigo. Los que en vida te quisimos, en tu supuesta muerte te respetamos!
at 1:48, in the background, that's Henri Paul, would make the video of the Gibus, Paris era?
awesome cover !!
R.I.P. mate...
amazing!
That sad bloke from the Libertines remind me of Johnny. Johnny had more class though which says a lot.
That saxophone tho
Porque às vezes versões superam os originais
Posso dire che lo amo?
Johnny is buried in St Mary’s Cemetery in Flushing Queens in a non descript grave
♥
Johnny couldn't get any more New York if he tried. Lou Reed gave it a good try but Johnny wins
at 1:10 ; very early version of the ' Man Bun ' hair style that is so common now days
such a talent...so sad he got into heroin...he was really something...rip johnny genzale
r.i.p.
UN GRANDE ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, r i p ,,,,,,,,+,,,,,,,,,

❤️
Wow the girl at 0:57 is stunning.Looks like Edie.
que pedazo de saxofon
Damn I wonder how Jonny would've been if he would've kept going and staying clean
johnny thunders We’ll never know:(
Well, he had Leukemia, so either way it would have ended tragically. In fact, there are many who now believe it was the Leukemia that actually killed him.
ေအာင္ေဇာ္?
My favorite guitar player but it's unfortunate how tragic everything turned out for him with the life that came from his heroin fixation.
brabo
My man ,,,, RIP
Dude really loved his clothes.
Well, he was Italian...
He really loved Heroin.
Fucking awesome

...where was this live versiøn øf "as tears gø by" perførmed?...
I believe it was on his "bootleg record" Paris France
+Arvid Atsinch ...thank yøu kindly...
+Vincent Frost You're welcome Vincent. Cheers.
Paris France, not Paris Texas..
At the Gibus club, probably. He played lots of acoustic gigs there.
Rip Charlie Watts
Is that Michael Monroe on the sax??
No it's Jamey Heath
Johnny always reminds me of Harpo Marx .
Yes he fckn does!😀lol
ダメだカッコいい😭
それな
On it bad.....don’t ask me how I know
Who's on sax? Anyone know?
R.I.P> JOHN!

You realize you don't understand fuck all about Music, right?
Such a wasted talent.
He was so wasted .
