***** Always thought 'You Can't Put' was the natural successor to this (and 'Hurt Me' to a lesser extent) - All 3 songs are beautful but paradoxically bruised/broken ..... Coldplay? Ed Sheerans ?? For once I'm glad to be so ancient I saw both the Stones & Johnny T !!!!
+beth shadowen - Yes Beth. Listening to the album Hurt Me - Too Much Too Soon: "You never listened to what they said, you always knew what was best...too much, too soon, too much, too soon...for you." One minute and seven seconds of sadness, and even better on my crackly vinyl from 1984. Poor man.
I won't deify a junkie's life, or the choices he made..having said that, the man's music is so full of pain, loneliness and loss..also vulnerability, I'm a middle aged man approaching 50, and I've been turned onto the New York Dolls and later Johnny Thunders since I was a teenager..the way it progressed to me, how it evolved was from Chuck Berry, to Keith Richards, to Johnny Thunders, and so on and so forth..and the Rock Keeps Rolling, from generation to generation..rick weber
rick weber I can so relate my friend. Feel the same way. His music and lifestyle reflected so much pain and internal struggles. Its really sad. Just imagine how successful alot of musicians could've been if the drugs we're never involved. So so sad.
Thunders himself exposes that same theory in an Ireland pub interview - everything comes from older music, he got it from Richards, Richards got it from Berry. RIP Gram Parsons, the first to sing this song, who also got it from Richards.
Fairly sloppy but very, very heartfelt, soulful, real, true... as he always was in the last few years before he passed... Never heard this before .Thanks for the post
Johnny was what would have become of Keith Richards if he hadn’t made The Stones. A lot of musical and personal parallels. I just read this book about the NYC punk scene that ended with Johnny’s friend and drummer Jerry Nolan running into Keith on the streets of New York. Jerry was heartbroken over Johnny’s death and Keith gave him some sweet and inspiring words to push on. Jerry was quoted as saying it lifted his spirits briefly but he died shortly after from complications of a hard lived life. It’s hard out there, man.
i'm a very big fan of him...you can make an eventual contribution by a story or a photo on the facebook fan page which I hold dedicated to John. I strongly believe that while a person is remembered, he/she is alive
And best thing is it gets to the core of the song but halves it in length! The Stones version is close to 7 mins long...I was gonna get married to it but for that reason..
Hahahahaaa, If CC thought Mister Johnny Thunders was so "obnoxious", as you put it, then why was good old Uncle Fester trying so hard to form a band with him and Jerry Nolan right up until the end?? ...You won't get away with that crap on my watch pal...and I suppose John Spacely is your talentless Pope...
I guess it depended on what kind of mood he was in and what the setting was. like i said in my comment re Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys. He stated that he was very cool when you had him in a one on one situation but if a crowd would gather he would turn on you like a light switch and start to become very obnoxious. who would know better than Cheetah. by the way his book was a fascinating read . i give Chrome alot of credit because he slayed his demons unlike JT. you shoud read his story.
i never met him but i read Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys bio and he had a good take on him. His experience with JT was that if you hung out with him alone his was very pleasant to be around however if a group of people formed while you were hanging with him he would start to become extremely obnoxious. I just get miffed by all of these people coming out now glorifying him and his drug usage. it is not cool to be hooked on dope. period.
I seldom do this but I will, as a corollary of people unclearly making definitions of Johnny's Guitar usage. He used the guitar often according to his frame of mind, which was 'largo and lento'. In musical terms it means broad and slow. How is that defined then? When he 'strummed' the strings the physicality of strumming was broadly not in uniformity, almost improvised. Think of how a Jazz guitarist or piano player use their instrument. By definition of 'lento' it means he was hammered, if he were using amphetamines the guitar playing would be frenetic and frenzied right? Refer to some punk guitarists on speed, a few the Ramones songs tell you that. Then compare it to Johnny Thunders. No, Keith Richards is not in the equation. Johnny was his own. That was a thumb nail description. I am the messenger, don't shoot me, they are the facts.
Cheetah Chrome was a junkie too, all junkies are not to be trusted, wtf would you expect from a drug fiend? His music is awesome, anyway, and that's what really matters.
Sid1Vicious84 all junkies as you say can be trusted. We don't all fuck people over for a bag you know. I've worked 19 years with a habit. Been to prison once for non drug related offences as never committed crimes to fund my habit
Sid1Vicious84 he put Chrome in the hospital, for beating him up with his Junior, in 84’ (I believe), but HE couldn’t trust people, you don’t understand him
Ur al so full o it,I wwas there,n hopless junki,u poor puppet,cant ya here the rawness,the music,u think hopeless could do That,2 bad 4 u ,J.T.ALWAYS MISSED,rip,the Stick,the clubhouse
thank you. i am so sick of people glorifying this dude. he was a hopeless junkie and from what i am told from people who have met him not a very nice human being.
i love johnnys voice too... its perfect for his style guitar playing..
I got to see him and party with him , and get high one of the best performers and g slinggers I've ever met, he's a ledgend,!!! Didn't no body forget him john j
Am I the only one, but when I listen to any of JT's music it literally hurts my heart. Physically...
yes in a beautiful way
beautiful but so damn sad. I wish he could have had a bit of insight, and taken care of himself
***** Always thought 'You Can't Put' was the natural successor to this (and 'Hurt Me' to a lesser extent) - All 3 songs are beautful but paradoxically bruised/broken ..... Coldplay? Ed Sheerans ?? For once I'm glad to be so ancient I saw both the Stones & Johnny T !!!!
U R lucky!

I love this version. He always has a sad undertone anyway, so perfect....
He's not out of tune he's Johnny Thunders!!
@Jon Oldham - What would he sound like out of tune?
Always in tune no matter how fucked up he was
Absolutely
A real beauty of a cover. Never heard this before-- thanks!!!
"Am I your graceless lady?"
"Yes, hon."
--Exchange between my boyfriend and I while listening to this
Please guys, it's Mister Johnny Thunders.
Show some respect for the departed.
This song is a perfect fit for MR.THÚNDERS and the 💔'S STYLE! R.I.P. HEÀRTBREAKERS🖤
Damn straight
I've never heard this before omg thank you!

exact same order chuck berry Keith then thunders
FUCKING LEGEND!!
Genuine. That's what matters. Take a lesson, "Today's Music".

No way, keith is a spoiled rock star
What book was that?
@@MrChe1999 It’s called “Please Kill Me.” Great read. Very unflattering to the lot of em but in a sort of reverent way.
Keith wouldn't share a cab with my brother on Martha's vineyard in the 90's. It was pouring rain out. The guy is a prick.
He played this when i saw him in 81 or 82 at the Lit club in Hartford CT.
this is what real music sounds like. nothing pretntious about it
Love Johnny! 💕
MARAVILLOSAS, INTENSAS VERSIONES DE LOS STONES LAS DE JOHNNY...
ONCE ASKED ABOUT THE MOVIE GRINGO STORY OF A JUNKY - A COMEDY IN MY EYES! WHAT A GREAT CLOWN!)))
Descansa en paz Jhonny 😪
Amazing!🖤🖤🖤🖤
Great talent
this song is at its best when its performed by johnny or andy mccoy
I liked Gram Parson's version
i'm a very big fan of him...you can make an eventual contribution by a story or a photo on the facebook fan page which I hold dedicated to John. I strongly believe that while a person is remembered, he/she is alive
You thought wrong.
@@mistervertigo678 I disagree with you.
@@wernerapz Shucks.
Duele más que la de los Stones. J.T sos genial
. . . .tears must be cried
still miss u.
thunders totalmente el mejor
much more than passable. If anybody has JT singin' "Faded Picture" by the Seeds PLEASE post!
Okay, kiddies, this is what happens when you don't use autotune....you get REAL music with REAL emotion.
amo
And best thing is it gets to the core of the song but halves it in length! The Stones version is close to 7 mins long...I was gonna get married to it but for that reason..
Johnny got those bags next time we meet the buzz is on me
THANK YOU!
Hahahahaaa, If CC thought Mister Johnny Thunders was so "obnoxious", as you put it, then why was good old Uncle Fester trying so hard to form a band with him and Jerry Nolan right up until the end?? ...You won't get away with that crap on my watch pal...and I suppose John Spacely is your talentless Pope...
wow ,,,,,,,versione Thunders di wild horses,,,,,,,+,,,,,,,, r i p Johnny
I met him and he was drugged up, but very pleasant to me.
Definitely ,,,,,,,,,,,
Very HIGH
What is the date?? Where did you get this?
I guess it depended on what kind of mood he was in and what the setting was. like i said in my comment re Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys. He stated that he was very cool when you had him in a one on one situation but if a crowd would gather he would turn on you like a light switch and start to become very obnoxious. who would know better than Cheetah. by the way his book was a fascinating read . i give Chrome alot of credit because he slayed his demons unlike JT. you shoud read his story.
Lots of people know better than cheetah chrome. In my estimation JT & CC were the best friends they ever were was 89-90
What is the date of this??
Nice
Summerhill did a great version of this in 1990.
He is indeed a little bit hypnotically insane. He does this song better than the Rolling Stones.
i never met him but i read Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys bio and he had a good take on him. His experience with JT was that if you hung out with him alone his was very pleasant to be around however if a group of people formed while you were hanging with him he would start to become extremely obnoxious.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
yea closest to the lowest
So Chrome Dome's Book is Your Bible?
yeah, he is my FN higher power. please.
please tell anything how was it, how was John, anything....

the above comment was a reply to your reply to me. my bad.
why you mad, son?
Dave, read my comment that i just posted. was meant as a reply to you. my bad.
How can a band be your brother? That's crazy talk.
@garyprein Nobody doesn't like this song. Nobody. I heard you liked "Babe" by Styx.
seen him start to play this and quit, said it had too many chords
Strange, it's a very easy song to play.
@@John-sr2hr i dont play so dont know. I dont believe everything he ever said either
Tailorhailer

I love it..However,I just wish i could have sang in harmony.. because sometimes i sing outta tune too~~
not true

I had a seizure reading this.
thank you. i am so sick of people glorifying this dude. he was a hopeless junkie and from what i am told from people who have met him not a very nice human being.
Yikes !
he made great records, wrote great songs and is fondly remembered 30 years after his death. who will remember you?
I agree with you. Glorifying smack addicts is loathsome.
Dreadful. Heroin and live performance is never a good idea. He's out of tune and out of time. Sloppy and boring.
shut up and listen to something slick
I’d prefer that any day to this mess
