Coolest band ever. I just wish Johnny, Jerry, and Arthur were still around to enjoy the love of the fans and contemporary critics. These guys were just so important to rock history.
the most underrated band of the past 50 years. Never tire of watching the OGWT performance... but better still is their appearance on Later with Joolz doing 'Trash'. Just sheer class....
Johansen still looks very good, he's always been a fantastic performer, a great lyricist, and he's very funny... I love Sylvain's rhythm guitar ... hard to imagine The Dolls without Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, but they still rock
For the benefit of the "younger" fans of the NY Dolls, only David Johanson and Sylvain Sylvain are "original" members. Ross kept referring to this line-up as the New York Dolls. Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Billy Murcia and Arthur "Killer" Cane sadly passed away, and were each in the original band...This band, IMHO, should not be called The New York Dolls. Perhaps The New New York Dolls? Still, they rock out with the new members...
Thank you, thank you... The Dolls were to die for!!! I missed this show but caught the London Gig. David and the boys tore the roof off of the place..This band sizzles while others just fizz
Last night I saw a 2004 documentary on bassist "Killer" Kane who passed away after a reunion concert. That documentary was my first intro to this band. Recognized "Buster Poindexter." So cool. This isn't my favorite genre of music, but I am fascinated by this group and would go see them in a minute. The surviving members sound great after all these years.
Its good to see Syl Syl and David back and with the almighty Sami Yaffa on bass!! Im gonna see the NYD next week for the first time on my life (im NYD fan since i first heard them around '88), im pretty excited. Cheerz from Argentina!
This is what was great about his show on BBC1. He'd give the likes of the New York Dolls and The Stooges a mainstream BBC audience as well as having bigger bands.
DuffPaddy1 yeah, they were getting attention and respect over there on the BBC but here they couldn’t get arrested and were not played on the Radio and TV ignored them so they got nowhere here!
@Mopar604 Actually,Ross is a huge music fan,he's big on Bowie,Roxy Music all that great glam stuff,he knows his shit,he's genuinely happy to have them there,he can get any guests he wants on his shows,he doesnt need to fill his shows with stuff he doesnt know or like
The Dolls are going back into the studio in January to record their next album. Todd Rundgren is back to produce the album. Sounds like history in the making (again).
It's great to see David and Sylvain rocking on. Their new album comes out in May and I can't wait. I'm like the only 17 year old guy who likes these guys. From what I know, they'll be touring. I'd like to see the new guys in action and try not to compare them to Johnny, Arthur, and Jerry. I still like them so rock on!
@DanLetts97 I checked out your You Tube page and watched your drumming video. If that is you drumming you actually play very well. You never know what the future holds? Maybe we will hook up someday and end up playing on a talk show either here or there? In all seriousness, if that is you playing you have some talent. Boston, Mass
@wrongchordsrecords I love Ross, a wittier host there is not! His interviews of Stooges and Dolls are funny stuff! Johansen looks remarkable for his age here... most his piers have grown heavy with age... truly remarkable how a solid drug habit keeps your body slim and trim! Long live the Ny Dolls, one of the better glam acts with legs.
actually, jonathan ross did a good job presenting the dolls. he knows a bit about rock history and had fun WITH david and sylvain instead of making fun OF them................
There's a documentary about Caine. They find him living in LA, a Mormon, having hocked his bass. They invite him to a reunion show in London, and what happens after that. It's great. I wish I could remember the title...Look it up. I saw it at a video store.
@Paneeks1960 I agree... but heres the diffrerence. Guys like Stern exist in the back rooms of satellite radio...they're outcasts. Jonathon Ross is mainstream in England, this show airs on regular television, you would never see a show like this on anything other than The Comedy Network or maybe HBO in america; that's the difference.
@roncronton He held the corner shop door open for me and he had a pram, i thought so very gentlemanly of him! He was still in a suit and he was only buying dog biscuits at the end of his street in Hampstead Heath.
@Mopar604 Do you not understand English? Ross has obviously heard of the NY Dolls before and seems a huge fan. I think you are wrong with the assumption that he'd never heard of them. Jonathan Ross is a massive music fan and you can even see here how thrilled he is to be with them. Yeah?
The time is perfect for the original Alice Cooper band to get back togeather,like in the "KILLER" days.I know Glen Buxton would approve.I loved The Alice Cooper shows,and i believe it would work out fantastic.
I'm glad they are doin somthing............I'm very confused about weather I like it or not?...remaking stranded in the jungle was a mistake since it was a cover anyway.....some of the album is good though
hes right, unless the person never tries drugs and then they will never know, that is certainly the right way to go, but most of us are to weak to avoid drugs including myself, so i am not judging people!
Coolest band ever. I just wish Johnny, Jerry, and Arthur were still around to enjoy the love of the fans and contemporary critics. These guys were just so important to rock history.
The original New York Dolls were KICKASS! I have all their albums and I LOVE them! :-)
Love this tune!!! The Dolls have still got it!!! They never lost it!!!
The Dolls changed my life in Denver in 1974. EVERYTHING was different after those shows. So great to see them back and ROCKIN'!
i adore the NEW YORK DOLLS!! I am old enough to remember the original dolls and they still kick ass!!!
New York Dolls= Legendary. Johnathan Ross= Bell Endary
Yeah, but Ross managed to pull some excellent guests on his show and at least he let them speak in complete sentences (if they were capable of that).
the most underrated band of the past 50 years. Never tire of watching the OGWT performance... but better still is their appearance on Later with Joolz doing 'Trash'. Just sheer class....
jonathan was being nice, he was a massive punk fan and truly loved the dolls. lighten up
One of the greatest bands ever.
fantastic performance! the dolls still rock!
Absolutely Brilliant Outstanding Underrated Alternative Rock 'N' Roll Band With A Difference 🔗❤🖤🔒🖇
Jammin straight R&R'!!! These guys still got it. The Johnathan Ross show looked like it was a hoot, he's pretty funny.
now thats rock n roll fookin brill
Johansen still looks very good, he's always been a fantastic performer, a great lyricist, and he's very funny... I love Sylvain's rhythm guitar ... hard to imagine The Dolls without Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, but they still rock
'i have to go to jail dressed like Liza Minnelli' hahaha lol
Still the most fuckin’ amazing band ever forever!!
I bet you do, really. Thanks for putting a fresh, valid, and new perspective on all this for me.
Dolls are the best. They were just everything music should be
For the benefit of the "younger" fans of the NY Dolls, only David Johanson and Sylvain Sylvain are "original" members. Ross kept referring to this line-up as the New York Dolls. Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Billy Murcia and Arthur "Killer" Cane sadly passed away, and were each in the original band...This band, IMHO, should not be called The New York Dolls. Perhaps The New New York Dolls? Still, they rock out with the new members...
And then there were two (David & Syl). The reincarnated NY Dolls were also fantastic. Saw them live with Sami Yaffi on bass. Sublime!
Then there were one
On of my favourite bands of all time!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you... The Dolls were to die for!!! I missed this show but caught the London Gig. David and the boys tore the roof off of the place..This band sizzles while others just fizz
Great stuff! I'm going to see them In Boston Ma.This monday night.
Thanks for posting.
an Esquerita shout out! AWESOME!
The Greatest band of all time.
they still sound the same decades later ... that's the dolls alright and they bring the spirit of the lost members along with them ... LOVE THEM !!
Last night I saw a 2004 documentary on bassist "Killer" Kane who passed away after a reunion concert. That documentary was my first intro to this band. Recognized "Buster Poindexter." So cool.

Johnny Thunders Was the Best NY Doll....
No, they were all the best!
My god they look so amazing here!!
Its good to see Syl Syl and David back and with the almighty Sami Yaffa on bass!!
Im gonna see the NYD next week for the first time on my life (im NYD fan since i first heard them around '88), im pretty excited.
Cheerz from Argentina!
That's great power New York Dolls still have it . 2001 centre kids must be envying 70's
absolutely awesome
This is what was great about his show on BBC1. He'd give the likes of the New York Dolls and The Stooges a mainstream BBC audience as well as having bigger bands.
DuffPaddy1 yeah, they were getting attention and respect over there on the BBC but here they couldn’t get arrested and were not played on the Radio and TV ignored them so they got nowhere here!
David Johansen is like the American Mick Jagger. I loved him in Mr Nanny
wow i love the soung they've got here , much more heavier , i love it :)
splended , love the new york dolls, they are awesome
Wow,I'm so happy to see them! And newmusic! Alas.poor Jonny Thunders....
This makes me weep with joy. Rock'n'roll.
RIP Sylvain
The very best....R.I.P. Johnny, Jerry, Arthur. It was a total blast.
They are so great!!
Some of the best shows were at - the Mercer Arts Center , Kenny's Castaways , Max's KansasCity earLy 1970s !
kicking butt as always!
Fucking excellent! God, they still have it.
@Mopar604 Actually,Ross is a huge music fan,he's big on Bowie,Roxy Music all that great glam stuff,he knows his shit,he's genuinely happy to have them there,he can get any guests he wants on his shows,he doesnt need to fill his shows with stuff he doesnt know or like
- fantastic guitar !
this is a great show!
This sounds great.
That's the way it should be done boys!
great song, a lot of contemporary bands owe them a lot.
Great performance fantastic stuff
The Dolls are going back into the studio in January to record their next album. Todd Rundgren is back to produce the album. Sounds like history in the making (again).
Tons of ATTITUDE!
Johnathan Ross O.B.E is SUCH rebel! Isn't he?
OBE Odour of the Brainless Exiles
It's great to see David and Sylvain rocking on. Their new album comes out in May and I can't wait. I'm like the only 17 year old guy who likes these guys. From what I know, they'll be touring. I'd like to see the new guys in action and try not to compare them to Johnny, Arthur, and Jerry. I still like them so rock on!
WOW!!
very very cool
David wore that shirt when I saw them play @ Tower Record. c:
wow..they're fucken AMAZING
what A track!
His voice is still gr8
yes he was in that movie
and a few others
And he was the lead bad guy in Mr. Nanny, starring Hulk Hogan... "First you deft me, then you mock my HAIR? You're DEAD!"
@DanLetts97
I checked out your You Tube page and watched your drumming video. If that is you drumming you actually play very well. You never know what the future holds?

sylvane. Love to see you rock and roll again. Susan from Decatur Georgia . Love you always. Your friend forever. kisses.
It's nice to see the original Shangri-Las doing so well.
Wow, David J. Sounds 100 times better than I thought he was going to. Nice surprise. Rock on!
I just found it, they rock not bad for some old dudes,ha ha!
Sounds good,going to see them Edinburgh Picture House on the 10th Dec.
cool
you can say what u want about jonathon ross but hes the only presenter who would bring the stooges ans the dolls to british tv.
@wrongchordsrecords I love Ross, a wittier host there is not! His interviews of Stooges and Dolls are funny stuff! Johansen looks remarkable for his age here... most his piers have grown heavy with age... truly remarkable how a solid drug habit keeps your body slim and trim! Long live the Ny Dolls, one of the better glam acts with legs.
I watched live at Camden after the ross show on sunday night and they were fukn awesome loads off groupies on stage great night shit hotel though
Steve Conte is awesome. Great guy too.
actually, jonathan ross did a good job presenting the dolls. he knows a bit about rock history and had fun WITH david and sylvain instead of making fun OF them................
@MadderRoseRulz Er, didn't Johnny form his own band before dying, Mr nostalgia?
There's a documentary about Caine. They find him living in LA, a Mormon, having hocked his bass. They invite him to a reunion show in London, and what happens after that. It's great. I wish I could remember the title...Look it up. I saw it at a video store.
Lisa Colorado it’s called New York doll
@Paneeks1960 I agree... but heres the diffrerence. Guys like Stern exist in the back rooms of satellite radio...they're outcasts.

NYD still rock!!!!
Thundaer was my boy.
Atrie Cain Rocked.
I miss you boys.
T.
Dommage qui ni a pas sous titrage,en francais 🤷♀️
fucking hell they kicked ass man!
@roncronton He held the corner shop door open for me and he had a pram, i thought so very gentlemanly of him! He was still in a suit and he was only buying dog biscuits at the end of his street in Hampstead Heath.
Am I the only one who is watching the younger brother of Jagger sitting there?
SebaMillonario Well, David's entire act on stage consisted of imitating Jagger. That's OK though, better than imitating Paul McCartney.
babylon rules
@Mopar604 Do you not understand English? Ross has obviously heard of the NY Dolls before and seems a huge fan. I think you are wrong with the assumption that he'd never heard of them.
Jonathan Ross is a massive music fan and you can even see here how thrilled he is to be with them.
Yeah?
Nobody believes it's the same band they sound completely different. I still love them. I still would if they were called something else.
Sorry, this is the Dave n' Syl Nostalgia Crew. It's not the Dolls!
@kidcalabria I recall Todd Rundgren jokingly saying that Johnny Thunders had probably not been sober since he was ten!!
that's because he IS Buster Pointdexter
The time is perfect for the original Alice Cooper band to get back togeather,like in the "KILLER" days.I know Glen Buxton would approve.I loved The Alice Cooper shows,and i believe it would work out fantastic.
I'm glad they are doin somthing............I'm very confused about weather I like it or not?...remaking stranded in the jungle was a mistake since it was a cover anyway.....some of the album is good though
What a sample lol
johnny thunders
sixx pretty much loves him
says he bassed his look on him (which is pretty fuckin obv!)
Johnathan ?
hes right, unless the person never tries drugs and then they will never know, that is certainly the right way to go, but most of us are to weak to avoid drugs including myself, so i am not judging people!
Great stuff, saw them the other night - Brilliant, maybe just listen to them and get off on the music, I cant fault it!
it is not the new york dolls without johnny thunders
When did johnny have a vox teardrop?
@candelise Johnny 'left' the band and formed another? Later on he died?
