The Ramones are the greatest band ever. But you already knew that. Rock n’ Roll forever!
that clip of ELP makes me want to fucking puke!
I think it’s fair enough to call the Dolls “punk rock”. Personally, I guess they’re Chuck Berry, Little Richard, “rock and roll” music.
Anyways, everyone should download or pick up New York Dolls’ first album (self-titled). It’s a freaking masterpiece.
Dee Dee’s book lobotomy: Surviving The Ramones is an awesome read.
I wish there was more live footage of Television on the internet. “Marquee Moon” is one of my favourite records!
and it all comes back to the velvet underground as well, they started all the distortion stuff, drones etc
what’s the name of the song in the beginning?
pardon my ignorance! xP

Look at his MOM :O !
HAHA! Lol.
CAN’T. UNSEE. :I
NY Dolls,along with Iggy & the Stooges were inspiration 4 all early punk bands.Hence,they can be considered as punk inventors,but they didnt play punk-rock themself.Pretty weird.You invented something,that somebody else did first
Lol, David Johanssen looks like Jamie Lee Curtis!
you see some “soul” and “James Brown” in the movement of the New York Dolls
The Donny and Marie show started sometime in 1976 or 1977 not before 1976.
I’m glad to see the New York Dolls featured here. They are absolutely amazing, and totally underrated / under-respected… most Ramones fans would love them.
Mickey Leigh as a singer is great, he sounds a lot like Joey but more poppy… Look him up!
That Emerson, Lake & Palmer song… so unbelievably pretentious.
down on the street—-the stooges
huhuhuh
uuuuhhhhhhh
huhuhuhuhuhu
Joey laughs like Butt-Head!
joey got on a motorhead shirt
