"Their music always sounded as if it was about to fall apart at any second." That really sums it up quite well. That is the essence of real rock and roll. They were indeed brilliant.
To think the Dolls supported the Stooges in 1973! That must have been one hell of a concert. Great footage of a group that was mocked mercilessly in their short lifetime, but has cast a long shadow since then.
'Mocked mercilessly' by nobody in particular, really, as they weren't that well known outside (or even inside) NYC. They did have their true fans then. But I know what you're trying to say, though
"Classic rock"? With all due respect, I don't understand. I thought this idea was from some smart radio stations that want financial returns and play "safe" sounds like Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden.
Without the NewYork Dolls The Sex Pistols wouldn`t have happened,Morrisey of The Smiths was a massive fan of New York Dolls.I liked the New york Dolls and i` am thankfull for them being a band and being responsible for influencing some of great musicians.
Can you imagine at the time people not liking this band? Yet, there they are. Playing instruments. Arranging melodies. Performing chord progressions. Keeping solid time. Presenting themselves. All the while looking at ease with their abilities and who they are. Too clever for the majority to see it.
Such is the world. People don't realize what they have till its gone. Mediocreness will reign supreme when people can't think for themselves and be told what to like.
Oh how I love them. It's hard to believe how many people hated them at the time. The big New York "progressive rock" station, WNEW-FM, would get angry phone calls whenever they played them, which was very little. I lost half my high school friends over the Dolls, and good riddance. They never recorded a bad song, and the third album would have been their best. They had the songs, always.
In 1973-74, they were too harsh and loud for the great 102.7 format for sure. Metro NYC college stations were the best place to hear The Dolls in their prime. Longed for a third album, but it wasn’t destined to be.
I grew up in the NY burbs and Scott Muni certainly loved some new music on WNEW, but I was a little too young to remember the early 70s on NEW - born 66 - don't think I heard them played (memory fuzzy - but Blondie!) in the late 70s as I started to get into music
Brilliant. The cute turn of his head after the second verse and before he comes back wiv his hands on his head, staggering, in his attempt to look like the prima ballerina on a spring afternoon.
yeh i always thought he looked like the american version of mick but omg i hadnt made the malcolm mcdowell comparison yet! foreal tho, you're sooo right!!! david was too hot haha 💕
Rick Rivets and Johnny thunders formed the dolls with Arthur Kane ..I knew Rick. Told me many stories about thunders. And the dolls. Rip RICK ..I MISS YA
Thanks for loading this is great footage of one of the greatest Rock n Roll bands ever. Incidentally for those who like music trivia the white Les Paul Syl Sylvain is playing ended up being owned by Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols who put it to good use on their live and studio work.
@@sinkvenice4438 cheers it sure is indeed. Jones ended up selling the guitar most likely because of his heroin addiction. The guitar is now owned by someone who lives in Hawai
@@daneenmurf1043 yeah probably the most influential musical instrument of all time. Im sure it still exists in a safe in some maximum security bank waiting to be cashed in.
New York Dolls definitely influenced the Sex Pistols and I thank them for that, what a fantastic band they were, nice to see the soon to be Steve Jones's Les Paul.
Steve Jones even copied New York Dolls lead guitarists movements when he played guitar.You`re absolutely correct,no New York Dolls,No Sex Pistols, and Malcolm Maclaren managed both of them.
A major influence on Johnny Ramone-he said the Dolls made clear to him how good the music could be with minimal musicianship. I _guess_ that was a compliment!
Sure, the singer is very Jagger, but people are missing the point. The New York Dolls are the Rolling Stones, if every member was Keith. Crank this shit up. Dance. Thank me later.
I saw them live in Buffalo in...2007, i think? At the Town Ballroom for Little Steven's Underground Garage Show...i was twisted on oxymorph, weed, and whatever the hell i was drinking from the bar. Played right after The Supersuckers (another awesome fuckin' rock band!) and even then being as old as they were they rocked the place! I've gotten clean since then with zero regrets, but that is and will always be one of my best concert memories.
I think that may have made them what they were. To me they are one of those bands that was never meant to last. Never had a chance. It was too deadly, too explosive, too real
Arthur "Killer Kane" lost his Battle with the Bottle...These Guys for the most part were Kings of Excess while they were trying to Portray Queens. 😁..RIP to those who Died.
The definition of Hot Mess right here. For anyone who disputes that Punk was born in the US, the New York Dolls were the direct predecessors to, and inspiration for, the Sex Pistols, having been managed for a short time (pre-Sex) by Malcolm McLaren at the end of their run, before their spectacular implosion. McLaren took the essence of the NY Dolls and immediately set out to create their successor in the Sex Pistols, albeit louder, angrier, and even more self-destructive. The Pistols' run lasted about half that of the Dolls before their implosion at the height of their success. Without the NY Dolls, there would NEVER have been any Sex Pistols, and the UK Punk scene (which, I will concede, was by far the creative superior to the early US Punk scene, pre-Hardcore 76-79) would never have happened.
These evaded me until 80 . I was busy listening to Crack the Sky She's A Dancer. What you think oslumbo just put some new stuff out . David Bowie Cuase You've Torn You dress. Never heard of the Dulls 👠👠 until 80s. Had Chad Smith playing our bar in 72 👦🍔🍟 covering I wanna be sedated for Punker chicksuntil 89 had the Toby Redd
Yes and the Ramones, as I’d noticed long before I read this, were conceived by their producer/drummer as basically a faster version of the Dolls. But I think it actually goes back further, because I remember when the Dolls were on the radio soon after they formed, and it was the same time that Slade was being played on New York radio a lot, and to me Personality Crisis, with the screaming and guitar style sounded exactly like Slade.
None if them were gay, trans, or even bi. They dressed like street whores but they'd have cut you if you disrespected them. They took glam rock to the extreme.
Notice the subtle Ziggy Stardust Starman top of the pops reference when Johnny Thunders come in for the harmony and David drapes his arm over him akin to David Bowie and Mick Ronson.
My grandfather, Michael scagliarini, was friend of the singer of new york dolls, he used to cover this song live. Now i listen to them and cry. Miss you forever, Mike
Although glam rock is generally associated with England (T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Gary Glitter...), the United States had a lot to do with its creation and development. And the New York Dolls had a lot to do with it
Sylvain is playing the white Les Paul that was given to Malcolm McLaren who, in turn, gave it to Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols who played it throughout his career
No,Sylvian had a white Falcon guitar like Billy Duffy of the Cult.Steve Jones had a custom white Les Paul but you`re right Steve Jones defo liked Sylvians guitar playing.
@@brianmorecombe2726 There's footage online of NYD playing in 1974 and Sylvain is playing the white LP with the pin up girl stickers that McLaren got, then Sylvain got the Falcon. Both great guitars
I love the way David Johansen winks constantly at the viewer in "Hot Hot Hot". He just loves music, and he dares you to equate this with the raggae wedding rock he's performing. Even the album cover he's nearly raising one eyebrow.
on a college road trip from Raleigh, NC to NYC in march '74, stopped in a bar around midnight in Morristown, NJ & saw this 45 on the jukebox & played it. the old farts in rhe bar looked like a zombie had landed from outer space.

If The New York Dolls didnt happened,The Sex Pistols wouldnt have happened.If The Sex Pistols never happened,Joy Division,Smiths and other great bands from Manchester wouldnt have happened so great thanks to them for that..I quite like New York Dolls myself,i listened to the album as a kid in the 70s.Johnny Thunders did some great solo work aswell.
Everything I have ever read on the Dolls (a lot!) said that their album sales actually declined after this airing...I guess people just weren't ready. Check out "Chatterbox" from this show. Best Thunders ever.
80s Sleaze Rock is here...A mix between Punk and Rock n Roll. FASTER PUSSYCAT, GUNS N ROSES, LA GUNS, KIX, lots of bands that made it big in L.A. in the 80s have the Dolls in their souls.

Why.? He wasn't an addict...😮😮
Came n gone 😮
Their debut album is one of the THE classic rock albums of all time. I highly recommend it!
And Johnny Thunder's debut L.A.M.F. is probably the best solo debut record ever.
"Classic rock"? With all due respect, I don't understand. I thought this idea was from some smart radio stations that want financial returns and play "safe" sounds like Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden.
This song is great, but I think Too Much Too Soon is a much better album
I've heard so much about this band and its taken me a while to GET them but i love em now!! LEGENDS!!
Raw Power by the Stooges and New York Dolls first LP were both released in 1973 and IMO 2 of the best albums ever created.
Saw them both in Toronto that year. Really dangerous bands if you were anywhere near the stage
Love them both
Its amazing to think how many bands / artists this band influenced. Without this band a whole genre of musicians would not have existed
Without the NewYork Dolls The Sex Pistols wouldn`t have happened,Morrisey of The Smiths was a massive fan of New York Dolls.I liked the New york Dolls and i` am thankfull for them being a band and being responsible for influencing some of great musicians.
These guys were years ahead of 1974. They were gone before we knew what hit us.
I got to see them live, in 1974. KISS opened the show.
These guys, The Stooges, MC5, and then the Ramones. Punk was born in America and immigrated to the UK.
Nancy Spungen was american
@@sirkkunyyssonen5294She was just a groupie though...
The Velvet Underground also had a lot to do with the creation of punk

One of the most underrated bands ever.

Most people hated them tbh. It was a music world of long songs done by trained musicians mostly
Such is the world. People don't realize what they have till its gone. Mediocreness will reign supreme when people can't think for themselves and be told what to like.

I still have there first Album, Absolute Gem of a record, Pure punk rock. 👍🏻🇺🇸🧷
Thanks for the rock concert, Don Kirshner.
I know. I want him back
Vinyl brought me here. I know the feeling Richie! \m/
Saw them at 100 Club! I'm now 67 and still love 'em!!
Skipped school, smoked some weed n got turned on to the Dolls. That was back in 74. This video just took me back in time. Right the fuck on!
Easy to hear where Poison got the intro for Talk Dirty To Me....
Dolls ruled!
Just bought a copy of their debut LP as a birthday gift for my niece's 28th birthday...!
Why don't we have Don Kirshners Rock Concert anymore?
0:43 sounds like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards when they share a mic
If The New York Dolls didnt happened,The Sex Pistols wouldnt have happened.If The Sex Pistols never happened,Joy Division,Smiths and other great bands from Manchester wouldnt have happened so great thanks to them for that..I quite like New York Dolls myself,i listened to the album as a kid in the 70s.Johnny Thunders did some great solo work aswell.
I don't understand the influence on The Smiths
Loved the NY Dolls
Gig coming n havent played bass for a Y. Played this for 3h andnow im 100%. Ty NYD amzing song
Check out the CBGB episode from The Heavy with Andrew and Don podcast. Great look back at the 70’s New York punk scene
Wow! I just remember mainstream acts on DKRC. I had no idea these cats were on.
Everything I have ever read on the Dolls (a lot!) said that their album sales actually declined after this airing...I guess people just weren't ready. Check out "Chatterbox" from this show. Best Thunders ever.
@@tonyp1313 The Dolls were great but the Heartbreakers were better in my opinion.

One great band could not stop playing their music . Glam punk
Easily the greatest band of the 70s.
LOL
riiiight
The ultimate in sarcasm- you've always been vicious
Love you, Dolls! 😎🍻❤👍
Que buena canción 🤘
80s Sleaze Rock is here...A mix between Punk and Rock n Roll. FASTER PUSSYCAT, GUNS N ROSES, LA GUNS, KIX, lots of bands that made it big in L.A. in the 80s have the Dolls in their souls.
Oh they were fab.Im still a New York gossamer-girl even though we resided in New Jersey.Love it up! Lavina Morticia Kymille,1985 only real self estranged ballerina wife of Sebastian Bach@Madam x+Skid Row.
What the fuck!? This is so good! I was today years old when I finally decided to listen to this band.
Personality Crisis Lyrics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New York dolls at the Don Kirshner's rock concert
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuu
Yeah yeah yeah
No No No Noo
No No Noo
Noo Noo
Well we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speech
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that
Personality crisis you got it while it was hot
But frustration and heartache that’s what you’v got
(I’ve got to tell you about the personality)
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Now you’r tryin' to be something now you got to do something
Want to be someone who cow wow wows
But you’r thinkin’ about the times you did they took every ounce
When it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
You got to contradict all the time you’r butterflyin' about
(You were butterflyin')
about that personality crisis you got it while it was hot
and no way tuching no but now frustration and heartache that’s what you got
(I’ve got to tell you about the personality)
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
B r e a k
And you're a prima ballerina on a Spring afternoon
Change on into the wolfman, you’r howlin' at the moon, hooowww
Personality crisis you got it while it was hot
And no way touching no but frustration and heartache that’s what you’v got
The personality
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Now with all the crossin' fingers that mother nature says
Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything is starting to blend
Ha ha not like one
Personality when your mind starts to blend
That’s a pers..
Personality impression of a friend,
Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality wonder how celebrities ever met
(Look and find out on television)
Personality crisis you got it while it was hot
And no way touching no but frustration, heartache that’s all what you’v got, but don't you worry
Personality crisis please don't cry
It's just a personality crisis, please don't stop
Because you walk a personality
Talk a personality
Yehaaa Whaaw
