'rock n roll 'Johnny!!
In 1968 he started going to the Fillmore East on weekends and later a West Village bar on Bleecker Street, Nobodys. He got a job as a salesclerk at Da Nazz leather shop on Bleecker. It was on Bleecker Street that he met future Dolls Arthur Kane and Billy Murcia. He joined their band, "Actress", which eventually became the New York Dolls when David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain joined in 1971. At this time John Genzale renamed himself Johnny Thunders, after a comic book of the same name.
They recorded two critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful albums, The New York Dolls and Too Much Too Soon. The band was managed, for a short time, by Malcolm McLaren and was an inspiration for the Sex Pistols.
In 1975 the original line-up for the Dolls broke up. Their early recordings are still in print today and continue to influence young bands with their trash/glam/punk attitude.
He formed The Heartbreakers with Dolls drummer Jerry Nolan, and Television bassist Richard Hell. Ex-Demons guitarist Walter Lure was soon added. After Hell unsuccessfully tried to usurp Johnny's place as lead singer, he left to form Richard Hell and the Voidoids. Hell was replaced by Billy Rath.
With Thunders leading the band, the Heartbreakers toured America and Britain, releasing one official album, L.A.M.F., in 1977. The group relocated to the UK, where their popularity was significantly greater than it was in the U.S., particularly among punk bands.
Many rumors surround Thunders' death at the St. Peter House in New Orleans, Louisiana in April 1991. He apparently died of drug-related causes, but it has been speculated that it was the result of foul play.'TOO MUCH JUNKIE BUSSINES'
Well you go down to the corner to see if you can cop
You buy some for your sister but you take yours off the top
Running to the bathroom fixin up the shot
Tie it up shoot it up bang it up blow it up
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
Too much junkie business
I dont wanna fuck around with you
Your life becomes as sickening as that mess you call your face
That pig you call your girlfriend she's been in there for days
Climbing up the walls shot some on my balls
Wrap it up call it art
Now your record's in the charts
chorus:
Too much junk 5x
In your face I dont wanna see it I don't agree
Your the coolest thing in town with your face flat on the ground
Hands empty your pockets as the coffin went down
Overdose at last smack stuck in your head
Now you're dead- I love ya
chorus 2x
Too much junk in your head
In loving memory..
