Featured Evolutionist Jan. 09 JOHNNY THUNDERS
"Music shouldn't be competitive. You like this music and I like that music. I love the Sex Pistols, they're a great band, I loved touring with them."
-- Johnny Thunders
He hated the word "punk" and boldly claimed "I never made punk music".
Definitions aside, Johnny Thunders has had one of the biggest influences in rock and punk music, in his old band the New York Dolls and later in his band The Heartbreakers.
He carved out a path for what you might call "art punk", trash rock, or dirt pop.
A theatrical style, when done with imagination, exaggeration, or absurdity, can add great excitement and differentiation for a band.
Johnny Thunders and the New York Dolls changed their look and stage routines often, always in stark and vivid contrast to the plaid shirts and farmer bluejeans all the other bands were wearing.
They were almost a parody of the Rolling Stones, like their poorer but angrier step-cousins.
Glamor. Shock. Controversy. Raves. Misunderstandings. Under-valuations. Promotional negligence. Isolation. Self-destruction. The historic trend of many innovative musical groups in all genres.
