I've got a DVD of them at their peak, and it's fantastic. It must have been taped before some of them got too fucked up. They seem coherent and at the top of their game.

I wrote a song in 1981 called "Gimme Some Junk". Westerberg from the Replacements wrote a song around the same period called "Johnny's Gonna Die". It's funny how these little coincidences happen.

They were very influencial on me and my gang. We played with that same abandon, but none of us ended up as junkies, thank the lord.

Watched the movie "New York Doll" a couple of nights ago...

It's good.


New York Dolls = N/C

After all these years, I still love this band.

only song I know is that dancing on the lip of a volcano or whatever its called, they played it on sirius leftofcenter 100times a week for a few months so much that I ended up loving it.

wait I thought sattellite radio was supposed to provide more diverse playlists and choice? nope its green day/nickelback on 5 diff stations

I really like "Personality Crisis" and "Lookin' For A Kiss", so they get a not crap from me.

I have no complaints using XM.

Not crap at all. Was even surprised on how not crap the new line up is.

"Pills" & "Subway Train" are really great songs. That first album is backloaded to these ears. I'm not a big fan of "Vietnamese Baby" or "Frankenstien" when they are up against Side 2. Too Much Too Soon is good fun as well.

I was left a little cold by the new line up (The Two York Dolls) as it seemed a bit too cleanly played (esp the Thunders replacement, but who can really replace Johnny Thunders?) but that's okay. Being only 30 I never thought I would ever see a Dolls show, unless I had found a time machine.

Crap simply for the fact that I saw the reunited lot of them and they sucked total shit.

Band's annoying.
