Stiv was a friend of mine in Youngstown ohio. We worked together in a factory. His band at the time was called “Mother Goose”. The craziest dude I ever met.
Thank you and God bless you a million times for posting this. I cannot believe how good this band is. I truly regret not being old enough to just have seen them live in the late 1970's, also to not have seen them during their reunion with some new members. This is a hard rock band that truly deserves nomination into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
You regret not being OLDER?!? I do wish they had played One Step Beyond in Santa Clara like they planned on in 1986 before cancelling the same day. The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. They sound great here, even if it's just Cheetah Chrome so not really the Dead Boys. No Stiv, no Dead Boys.
Cheetah’s in good form here. We used to hang out when he lived not far from me in nashville. He was off the H and he (and I) smoked a lot of weed and drank Guinness all day and all night, and didn’t seem to affect him. We kinda lost touch and I heard he started riding the horse again. He doesn’t live here anymore and I hope he’s doing alright. He’s great in this clip.
Stiv was great, he would tell us what hotel they were at to hang out after. I was in the moosh pit and I asked Cheetah for a beer and Stiv gave me all of Cheetahs Millers he had stashed. RIP.
He still has it here doesn't he? Most punks dead from back then but he still rocks in this clip. Dead Boys were great and underappreciated . Just like the Ramones.
I've known Cheetah Chrome since 1976. I'll be going to see him and the reconstituted Dead Boys in Glendale, AZ in just a few days! I'm wondering if the dancing bikini woman was Cheetah's old flame Gyda Gash?
Yes, it’s a tribute act, but what else is Cheetah going to do to earn some rent money? There’s no way he can work a straight job. Plus, no 401K or pension for retirement. The only issue is the turd trying to act like Stiv. C’mon, be yourself, grandpa. You may gain some respect.
Was that what led to The Blitz Benefit or was that an additional stabbing? I was Debbie's guest on the second night. She wore my shirt during her performance with Robert Fripp
I saw them a bunch of times in NYC back in the good old days. CBGBs, Heat, I think they even played one of the Marijuana day concerts in Central Park. One night at Club Heat Cheeta came out with a cast on his hand, could,t play guitar, I don't know who they had playing for him. He came onstage said "this is my fucking band", and they started playing, he bounced around on stage all night. I was there that night John Belushi played the drums with them at CBs.
Maybe dey should called dem selves a Dead Boys Tribute,cause when I saw this post,I was thinking dem Boys were Something back in da day of CBGB,nah!Take care fans,Keep on Slammin!Jcs
I remember when I first heard the dead boys young loud and snotty album in 1978 it was nearly a fuck yeah moment like when I first heard the Sex pistols, I said nearly.
Holy shit that’s tommy lee. Makes sense cuz I was thinkin why the fuck do they have some hair metal fuck doin this and now it makes sense. Pisses me off
He just shreds it from about the 4:40 mark. Dead Boys were American Sex Pistols or maybe vice versus. Cheeta kind of looks like he was released from the senior citizen activity hour! Dude can still play though.
the new york dolls were THREE TRILLION DEGREES ABOVE the rolling stones AND the dead boys were ANOTHER THREE TRILLION DEGREES ABOVE the sex pistols. HONESTLY.👍🏻
@@petarticinovic2710 I agree. NotStiv should be fronting his own band playing his own songs. Cheetah should be fronting his own band playing his own songs too, "Take Me Home" was a great song Cheetah did, 2 band members from a 5 man band should not be touring as what is basically a tribute band. I saw the Dead Boys for the 1st time 44 years ago yesterday (10/1/77 at cbgbs) THAT was the Dead Boys.
What’s funny is anytime you see interviews he says “” I didn’t just want a copy of Stiv “””. Well ummm that’s what he has here. Someone desperately trying. He could of at least got someone that sounds closer. Cheetah is a piece of poo too. Full of shit

Awesome. What's the craziest story you remember with him?

This is not the dead Boys from the 70s.
😂

I was fortunate too see all the original Dead Boy's lineup. This certainly is not but if the audience enjoys it,we’ll Let it Be.
Agreed. I saw them in Richmond, Virginia, when they got back together in January of 1987. The only original member I see is Cheetah Chrome.
Dats what I'm saying,ReaL CooL gos to you,4 Gettin ta checkem out DB,back in da CBGB days!Thanks HiLLy!Always,nah!Jcs
Cheetah rocking out his old tunes with the help of his friends. Having a good time, and why not? Cheers.
Stiv was great, he would tell us what hotel they were at to hang out after. I was in the moosh pit and I asked Cheetah for a beer and Stiv gave me all of Cheetahs Millers he had stashed. RIP.
SooO CooooL,nah!That ya Hung out and dem some,With StiV!Take care,nah!Jcsx
Fantastic how good Cheeta Chromes playing sounds about five minutes in.
Cheeta should put a Band together and tour by himself. He's a cool guy.My friend knew Him in the early 80's and we hung out a few times. Awesome dude.
He still has it here doesn't he? Most punks dead from back then but he still rocks in this clip. Dead Boys were great and underappreciated . Just like the Ramones.

Where in Oakland was this?

Our friend, Ingrid, actually married Johnny Blitz. Then he got stabbed in the head at Deli Stop on 3rd St. He was back the next night.
Was that what led to The Blitz Benefit or was that an additional stabbing? I was Debbie's guest on the second night. She wore my shirt during her performance with Robert Fripp
I like the singer! He's doing a Stiv for sure but it's fun.
Still sounds pretty cool...I dig it.
Cool!!! Thanks for the upload!
the pride of Cleveland Ohio. Well maybe not this line-up--but yeah the originals. Go Cheetah!
Ayyy i like this
I don't have my glasses on. I'm now 63.
Cool as hell sounds good.
Cheeta still got it. Solid.
Cheetah Chrome is the heart of the Dead Boys! :-)

Buenardo
When did Frodo start singing?
Awesome
Not bad. Stiv would be happy!!...(RIP)
Rest in Powder
Stiv
Se tivessem tido cabeça na época do CBGB hoje eram mais reconhecidos... a época do nascimento do punk rendeu bons frutos para eles.
amazing punk rock energy! would like to have been there...
Sounds Good but it's not The DEAD BOYS. This isn't 1977, either.
CBGB not dead
Stiv Bators you can't imitate the dead boys are in the Olympus of punk rock ✊
We've reached the threshhold when tribute becomes embarressment.
Dweeb
This is Cheetah Chrome and the posers. Not the Dead boys.
That’s gotta be a reissue National cause the old ones didn’t play or sound like that .
Its a cover band. One og doesn't make it the band.
Lmao true. How many you need though? 2?
1 original member or 3 roadies and a stage manager
Is that cheetah chrome?
@@jerrypierce6360 yeah
As close as it gets to the real thing baby
This is great!
Maybe dey should called dem selves a Dead Boys Tribute,cause when I saw this post,I was thinking dem Boys were Something back in da day of CBGB,nah!Take care fans,Keep on Slammin!Jcs

Love how they just got a lady up there who’s just supposed to vibe
"Dead Boys Live" is a contradiction. But they sound good anyway.
NO STIV NO DEAD BOYS!!!! SAD!!!!!!
sounds very good..singer fits the bill, who is he?
Jake Hout
That's Chrome, always a pleasure!
Pretty cool.
this makes me sad. 1 original guy and Tommy lee as the singer. What a joke. oh yeah and some 29 yr old guy with plugs as the drummer.. perfect
Holy shit that’s tommy lee. Makes sense cuz I was thinkin why the fuck do they have some hair metal fuck doin this and now it makes sense. Pisses me off
David Johanson is the only member of the New York Dolls that's still alive and tours as The New York Dolls.
@@russellj.s.257 he needs money 💰
@@erichramone7812 true,he should've stuck with acting. He was great in Scrooged,Let it ride and Car 54,where are you? .
David Johansen has literally never toured as the new York dolls just by himself, get your freaking facts straight playa
Who's the go go dancer?
So Cheetah Chrome aside, who are those guys?
Szandora LeVay!
There are bands still playing with none of the original members.
I see a Cheetah but who are those other guys, Ain't it fun?
Saw these guys in the early 80s in NYC...good freaking times !
Different guys LOL......except Mr. Chrome
@@paull.6026 I was referring to the band, genius...
@@rockhead69 You are.
Fans of the Dead Boys (and the Stooges, Germs and Plasmatics) should check out footage of Australia's AMYL & THE SNIFFERS...!!
Love them!
Didnt they donate to terrorist groups lolol
They're shite, not in the same league as Stooges 🤣🤣
@@jerrykid18 who the sniffers?
Yeah they’re amazing
Nothing like seeing a cheetah shake the mud flaps. Too funny.
ThE DeAd BoYs 🧷 hi from 🇬🇧♥️
Still better than anything green day or joan jett ever played.
Sounds exceptional
Fuck yeah it is!!!!
Just think if Stiv was Not in France in 1990 !
Or if he'd gotten medical attention.
Lead vox is a dead ringer for Stiv.
awesomeness
❤Oakland
My favorite part was when the redhead appeared
The Almost Dead Boys
Rock N F...Roll!!
Saw the Lords of the New Church in 1985...great gig...Stiv is the man of course... this however is shyte
I know these dudes from when they used to play weekends in Mandal
Как вы круты пацаны
Процветания Вам🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's cheetah chrome doing dead boys songs. Not dead boys
Really should be titled, “dead boy”.
I was repulsed then I'm like Umm.....................WHERE'D SHE GO?!
I can't tell you how many times I saw them.
yeah live roc show game is strong
This makes me feel old, sad, and gross. Love the records though.
Cool...old enough to know better!
How did they get so old ang I stayed so to young? Old punks don't die we just stand at the back.
not as much fun as these guys can actually play
They sound like fasterpussy cat or LA guns in late 80’s , This is Entertaining… Rip Stiv!!!!
Good for Cheetah. Putting it on the line from day one.
Oh. My. Gawd. How?
Flashback
Drummer from Charger?
OMG Ginger escaped from Gilligans island
Kickass!
He's good
Not the Dead Boys and Stiv Battors is R.I.P.
Fakers

" I WANT A * DEAD BOYS* T-SHIRT 👕 😎💙
You can buy one. I got the one with the Young Loud and Snotty cover.
A peu près tout est détestable dans ce machin.......
Fack me, cheater chrome can still play guitar 🎸 like there’s no tomorrow amazing 🤩, the hole band rock
He just shreds it from about the 4:40 mark. Dead Boys were American Sex Pistols or maybe vice versus. Cheeta kind of looks like he was released from the senior citizen activity hour! Dude can still play though.
Kick ass !
RIP stiv
Girl's name?
the new york dolls
were THREE TRILLION DEGREES ABOVE

AND

were ANOTHER THREE TRILLION DEGREES
ABOVE the sex pistols.
HONESTLY.👍🏻
This is just sad
Dear Fake Stiv, stop it. Just stop it. Sorry dude, but this is horrible.

Cheetah’s cool. But to call them the Dead Boys is a stretch
