@@pattyyagmin2880 well, um, that was not the thought I had in mind. I just love their far out straight in your face image and attitude, but sure , I can imagine he can be attractive in other ways to other fans.
I remember in the early mid to late 80's I lived with my grandparents and my grandfather was a huge lover of music. Opera, Classical, Country to some extent, show tunes and soundtracks. He really loved David's Buster Poindexter material and I always thought how incredible it was he could reach such a broad audience. Very cool and shows what a talented and creative artist David is.
Certainly not proud of this but in my youth I was a bit of a wild card and have had the displeasure of being in numerous jails all around the USA. Two stand out as the worst. Denver County & Memphis. Memphis being the worst. When you leave that jail, you are just happy you're still alive.
Wondered about that too . 1:23 Johansen must've thrown his shades behind the couch at that moment and during the 'Liza Minnelli' bit went to retrieve them. Don't see what 'Johnny Thunders' had to do with that though .

I've always wondered what would happen if I was alive during the 70's, rich, and had David Johansen, Johnny Thunders and Iggy Pop come to a drug fueled and debauchery shindig at my Scarface mansion in Beverly Hills. Most likely wouldn't be asking this question now that I think about it.....
Ross did not get the reference to Esquerita (who inspired no less than Little Richard) and didn't like that he didn't < From that point on, Johansen looked sepulchrally bored. I've always found this interview to be criminal levels of cringe - what a wasted opportunity, Ross's questions are beyond banal and reductive - dress sense? age? Just awful. They deserved a lot better :(
Great interview, why are British people so unusually picky about odd things. I'm an uncompromising "elitist" by most people's standards and this was just kind of a simple fluff piece on a great and influential band that never really got their due and are now very old people and near death. Well...I think one of them did die. The interviewer seemed like a nice man. What is good, exactly? Please don't fucking say Oasis.
What are you even saying? If ur dissing British music the British Invasion bands influenced New York dolls and even Johnny thunders, The small faces, The Who, The kinks. You do realise oasis were still in the womb when New York dolls were playing?
@@onlyinmiles9195 That would not be what I am saying, not any of the things you have imagined. What are you even saying? Hahaha. Sorry, not your average internet robot here, heh. 1.) No, I'm not one of these people who are going to get in some bullshit argument about "where punk started" (as I am not British, heh) 2.) I am not going to get into an argument about Americans Vs. British people in general (once again, I'm not British) 3.) I have pretty much all the records (in general) and can tell you anything you would like to know (I mean about all of this, all of popular music, from the operetta, marching bands, River boat music and vaudeville to Amebix, Burzum, Merzbow, and fucking George Formby. *Please do challenge me.* I don't require any lessons, I teach them. I mean that literally. I was referring to the great British public and especially their media being a bit rude and hitting below the belt about foolish things. This is a normal interview and these guys are elderly people at this point, their band was great (whether everyone likes them or not) and people are ripping them apart in the comments. (I haven't see this in a while, I don't know what the comments look like now, so bear in mind things may have been deleted) They bitched about the interviewer, the way David looked, the Dolls music, and really every detail but the set and production quality. I simply do not find this that remarkable. It's not particularly that bad, none of the things people mentioned. The Oasis comment was about the state of music and musical opinions in more recent decades. There was once a time when we looked to the U.K. (I mean that correctly, not just "blighty" proper) for it's high standard in musical excellence particularly in pop music (though there's a lot more than the Mersey sound, Mod, Glam, Heavy Metal, Punk, Postpunk and New Wave/Synth type acts to be admired for sure, theres a cold sadness in English orchestral music and jazz that is like nothing else in the world and the folk music from all over that part of Europe is to my ear superior to much of what is to found on the continent.) These days the ugly tabloids and chavs and modern goofballs of all flavors seem to have mostly consumed the conversation and not only do i not hear the excellent music and endearing accents we are accustomed to hearing here in America; I do not hear the unparalleled wit and humor nor depth of meaning in the speech or see the excellent fashion and design in their handy work and on their arses that we have all come to know and love and deeply respect in the colonies. Now, I can't say much for what they might be seeing from over there about us, and I really don't care much for most people here either, but in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (places i am frequently as I travel constantly in my profession) I can definitely say it's not all as bad as it might look from a distance or if you just visit and spend your time in the wrong places with the wrong people. I assume the same can be said for there and sure, I've met some alright individuals, but most the English you see on the internet and what you hear in the British media is either woke stupidity or uninformed old dude fascistic stupidity so I suppose I would expect a bit more humility and a smidgeon less acidic, vitriolic abuse from such a thusly afflicted population. I have no fucking idea why you are talking about musical influence as that would be very hard to extrapolate from what I have written above. I assume you see the bullshit internet argument meat before you even enter one of these "discussions" but I may be mistaken, perhaps you simply have a dire reading comprehension deficiency. Anyway, that's why you are currently getting exactly what you deserve and desire. Yes, we are part of the great transatlantic Rythmn and blues conversation tradition, which, I suppose if you count all of Europe extends much farther back than any Charlie Patton 78 or even The Dave Clark five (!!!) I can play every song by every band you mentioned on guitar drums and ...moog (sitting right in front of me, these new grandmother's are really worth having a go at, I highly recommend them though they are monophonic so I suppose you'll have to forgive me on that one matter, hahaha... aren't I a twat?) Now just insult me and go away please you are out of your depth by a "kilometer." I'm going to go and listen to the original UK issue of "Pictures of Lilly" and jack off to 1920s pornography. Tally ho, you foxy lady, you?
@@onlyinmiles9195 There's one way out of this, you can say that was too long to read....but... it's not for you anyway, dear. ;) Looks like you stepped in a mess you can't get off your shoe!

U argued with yourself and described your whole life story merely because someone on the internet couldn’t understand your comment, u said please don’t say oasis fucking Oasis?

U have to realise Oasis captured modern day Britain perfectly, there songs were the epitome of British youth and the lyrics of a working class young man blended with fast rock n roll rhythms stolen from the likes of T.Rex and the Beatles so the best of the best. You might not understand oasis because your not from Britain whereas I am, they spoke for every young person of that era just like the sex pistols did before them, lyrics like “I want to be myself I cant be no one else” spoke to an entire generation and great music never dies u have young kids begging for 50yo men to get back together. Merely because they never broke out of Britain and ur stuck up persona who listens to classical music might find a dissatisfaction with a band that lacks depth in there musical ability you have to understand Oasis were a great band and no one has come near to them for the last 30 years. I highly dislike oasis and i highly believe in the quote it’s better to burn out than fade away and i feel like oasis have faded away badly living off there old hits and doing there solo work that nobody wants to hear, so I’m not your casual fan boy and I’m only knowledged in the subjects of rock n roll and the blues as chuck Berry says when I say the word the blues I use both my lips. 👄 And to quote the great Chuck u Farlie: 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲

RIP our darling Sylvain
I'd take Thunders over Richards and day.
O gosh... that Johansen outfit, I will always remember it when I need some quick laugh to get me out of a bad mood.. how can you not like the Dolls.
Rip Sylvain .....really really sad day blast the dolls music loud and proud people
What a great talent Johansen is... the Dols are Legendary
Johansen is Mick's long lost twin brother
Omg i love that man David . I smile every time i hear him sing and talk ..
Same here, man.

The Stooges, The Dolls, thinkin Jonathan Ross has fine taste in bands.
He’s the best talk show host for music, he always listens and has an interest in the artist
@@onlyinmiles9195 Now that I can agree with. You are a scholar and a gentleman, sir. The both of you.
oh what a great band: new York dolls
I love these guys so much!!
David looks like he’s headed to Sunday service with that hat on.😆
Was backstage at Crazy Mama's in Columbus where they played, and invited him to a party after and they showed up!
They all look great
Legends
you really have to listen to davids solo album 'in style'
so good
the first COOL METRO one is better
Honoring Esquerita every day!
Brilliant just brilliant
Zdavid was a alcoholic
Sylvain was never big screwed up on anything I've know him since I was 25 most of my life
The host was a real tool...WTF sort of questions did he feel he had to ask..completely undermined the interview, MUSIC, Legends pioneers etc!
Vini Cola
Yeah, he’s awful. What a waste of a priceless interview opportunity.
*every day was New Years Eve for Johannson. Alla akbar*
Sorry,but the NewYork Dolls are only the Dolls with Johnny Thunders.
And Jerry and Arthur. Totally agree
@@lizc2023 and of course Billy Murcia!

Without Johnny Jerry and Arthur it's just not the same.
And then there was ONE! all things must PASS.
Just a few comments in 3 years equals scant interest.
Honoring Esquerita!!! Good on ya
Had to rewind to see how he lost his glasses ... Johnny Thunders!
Wondered about that too .
1:23 Johansen must've thrown his shades behind the couch at that moment and during the 'Liza Minnelli' bit went to retrieve them.
Don't see what 'Johnny Thunders' had to do with that though .
Dollar store McJagger....love the fooking Dolls
A right pair of paper hats.
😂j'imagine la tête de Mick Jagger *oh le turban rose *si il voit cela, déjà qu'on a du lui dire que David lui ressemblait.

British Nicolas Cage😂
Being a kid in the ‘80s, I wonder when he put aside the suit and pompadour hairdo and stopped acting. I liked his ‘80s look like I liked Bowie’s White Duke years.
I love the turban!
I was wondering what happened to Herman Munster.
No more being "mature" as Buster Poindexter.
Watch Johnny ... Buster ... or both?
@@johnzimmerman1159 Johnny?his name is David Johnny died be a long time ago.
That Buster Poindrxter “Dat You Santa Claus” was classic! I miss the ‘80s.

F David it's Sylvain who's all the love the ❤ heart of who the NY Dolls were
You know you’ve made it big in England when Benny Hill interviews you. Huh? What? Oh that’s not…… oh hmmmm never mind.
This was 2006. I know, because I was tuning Syl's guitars on that tour.
Cliche within a Cliche band, still embodying the Imago.
David Johansson
Johansen
Buster Poindexter!
Sleestak
Who is the old lady with a pink hat?
Jonathan Ross used to be funny. Maybe he still is
like my brow !!
You mirin dolls brah?
johansen is the reincarnatiom of mick jagger
Don't hate but I thought his name was really Buster Poindexter
Jross is so annoying
