A jubilant Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers play this legendary club. Funny and frolicking around, this and other parts from the show will be included in Paul Tschinkel's warm and loving film on Johnny Thunders. Much neglected by other than his fans, it plays tribute to a wonderful and talented performer. (Top talent and charming Walter included) All musician, move over and make room for Johnny.

For me personaly Johnny had changed Rock’n’Roll. Now when I listen Status Quo, ELO, or other R’n’Roll songs like Beatles or even Led Zeppelin R’n’R. They all sound so childish comparing to Johnnys pure inner soul RockNRoll

Walter Lure is hardly "unsung!" Read or listen to his autobiography "To Hell and Back." He inspired and played in the band The Waldos (named in tribute to him) and led L.A.M.F. on tour with Clem Burke (Blondie), Tommy Stinson (The Replacements) and Wayne Kramer (MC5)!

I found Johnny Thunders by first hearing his song, You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory in a Sopranos episode. Loved that jangly guitar and good strong voice. I read on about his addiction struggles. His starts and stops with bands and relationships. For all the great things he appeared to have, this talented man also lived a hard life. To everyone battling addiction, please hang in there and please get help. ✌🏾

Sure he had demons like anybody else. But when he had his guitar between his hand he could be magic and so all the band The Heartbreakers are and will forever be a great band . John . Jerry . Billy .
