why insult people's taste in music?

 

Little testy are we today?

 

I am surprised Minx……you don’t recognize a good troll when you see one anymore.

 

And to answer your question above…..

 

 

Because its spray.

Any Johnny Thunders fans out there

 

I wasn't much of a Dolls fan, and never followed Johnny's solo stuff. Anything in particular you recommend?

 

I recently saw the documentary "New York Doll" which primarily focused on the bass player, Arthur Killer Kane, who was working in a Mormon genealogy library in the LA area, and follows up through a Dolls reunion show in Britain. Really great film, interesting folks and history. I hadn't realized that the Dolls started in 1972, way way ahead of their time. People talk about The Ramones and Sex Pistols being wellsprings of the genre, but it's clear that the Dolls both pre-dated and influenced them.

The Dolls played in PDX about a year or so ago. Played all of about 40 minutes. I was reminded that spandex is not suitable for some--especially anorexic, geriatric punk singers.

Don't forget the Forgotten Rebels hailing from Hamilton, Ontario. They formed in around 1977 and toured a lot with the Ramones AFAIK. In their wiki entry they're described as "one of punk's most gleefully racist bands".

Bomb the Boats :)

Anybody from the early 70's band still alive?

Some recordings with the Heartbreakers are nice. For rowdy rock-n-roll, check out LAMF. My favorite Thunders solo effort is Hurt Me, which doesn't sound anything like punk.
