Johnny Thunder His Death Still Mysterious, He Has a Brain That Is Too Genius But Eccentric!!

Thunders was born John Anthony Genzale in Queens New York, the second child of Josephine Genzale and Emil Genzale, both of Italian descent. Thunders had an older sister Mariann, and He first lived in East Elmhurst and then Jackson Heights. His first musical performance was in the winter of 1967 with The Reign, Shortly thereafter he played with Johnny and the Jaywalkers under the name Johnny Volume at Quintano's School for Young Professionals, around the corner from Carnegie Hall on 56th Street near 7th Avenue. In 1968 he began going to the Fillmore East and Bethesda Fountain in Central Park on weekends, His older sister Mariann started styling his hair like Keith Richards. In late 1969 he got a job as a sales clerk at D'Naz leather shop, on Bleecker Street in the West Village and started trying to put a band together. He and his girlfriend Janis Cafasso, went to see The Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden in November 1969 and they appear in the Maysles film Gimme Shelter. Dolls bass guitarist Arthur Killer Kane later wrote about Thunders guitar sound, as he described arriving outside the rehearsal studio where they were meeting to jam together for the first time, I heard someone playing a guitar riff that I myself didn't know how to play, It was raunchy, nasty, rough, raw and untamed. I thought it was truly inspired, adding His sound was rich and fat and beautiful like a voice. The New York Dolls were signed to Mercury Records with the help of A & R man Paul Nelson. Thunders recorded two albums with the band New York Dolls and Too Much Too Soon. They were managed by Marty Thau and booked by Leber & Krebs, Subsequently they worked with Malcolm McLaren for several months, later becoming a prototype for the Sex Pistols. In 1975 Thunders and Nolan left the band, Thunders later blamed McLaren for the band's demise. Johansen and Sylvain continued playing along with Peter Jordon, Tony Machine and Chris Robison as the New York Dolls until late 1978. Thunders formed The Heartbreakers with former New York Dolls drummer Jerry Nolan and former Television bassist Richard Hell. Walter Lure former guitarist for the New York City punk band The Demons joined them soon after. After conflict arose between Thunders and Hell, Hell left to form Richard Hell and the Voidoids and was replaced by Billy Rath. With Thunders leading the band, the Heartbreakers toured America before going to the UK to join the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned on the Anarchy Tour. The group stayed in the UK throughout 1977 where their popularity was significantly greater than in the US, particularly among punk bands. While in the UK they were signed to Track Records and released their only official studio album LAMF an abbreviation for Like A Mother Fucker. LAMF was received positively by critics, but was criticised for its poor production. Displeased with the production the band members individually remixed the record, a competition which culminated in drummer Jerry Nolan quitting in November 1977, Shortly thereafter the Heartbreakers disbanded.
