A wildly under-appreciated player and a style icon. No artifice here. Jerry told the truth. Loved him.

Jerry Nolan always came across to me like he'd come straight out of a Scorsese movie. Just an effortless cool about him and a very interesting man to listen to. One of the finest rock 'n' roll drummers that ever was, no doubt about it.

He and Peter Criss grew up together and hung out at the Metropole jazz club to see Gene Krupa. Gene Krupa took Jerry and Peter Criss under his wings and gave them advice and was an all around great drum mentor.

He was such a great drummer and very missed

We were lucky to see these guys live. You can talk about the Stones and any other band. THIS was something else altogether. There are no words

He was an unforgettable drummer. An absolute animal with stage presence to spare. Watch any of the Heartbreakers footage from The Punk Movie - what an animal!

8:30 what an amazing revelation. No one wants to die. I wish Jerry would have lived so he could help shape today’s music.

Thanks for posting this. Jerry Nolan was talented, smart and charismatic; it's great to hear him talk.

Jerry had the classic New York quiet, introextro cool classiness... Best drummer of his time

i could listen to hours and hours of his stories

I love love love Nolan’s comments about Lydon, and his flash and massive chutzpah, high flaming praise. If a Doll can explain why u are cool and none are cooler than the Dolls, then there you go. Seeing Jerry makes me very happy and also very sad. ‘Nobody wants to die young’.

'Its a weird poster,One side is jimi Hendrix poster and the other is the Anarchy tour poster..How the hell you gonna hang it up..?' 😂 The hand gestures are great. Nolan-A real goodfella. RIP JN

GREAT Drummer, Very Underrated♥️🔥♥️

Fascinating guy. I could listen to him all day.

The words, when you break them down and really listen... profound! He was a deep thinker.

That was an incredible interview Jerry looked after Sid when he was going through all his problems and he did th same for Thunders as well

Thanks for posting this interview. There's not many interviews with Jerry around. I play drums and he was practically my drum teacher.

This bloke should be up there with Chick Webb, Buddy Rich Gene Kruppa , he had that professional Showman big-band vibe about him. Never missed a beat.

What a great interview with Jerry, what an interesting and intelligent man. He was right about the Sex Pistols, they were a great band. Johnny Rotten being a great frontman. I totally agree with him about Johnny being very handsome and sexy! He is still is in my opinion.

Very cool interview that we might have easily never seen. The tapes could have rotted and been unplayable by this time. Or maybe no one could have bothered to look at them or digitize them. Noland does seem high as a kite, but still articulate and focused. He could handle it pretty well at this point.

What a great interview. One talented and intelligent man.

Xoxox love his style ,,,hate when reporters get into the “drug” questions…. Jerry aced it

He's being interviewed in Sunset Sound Studio......He and Phill Cruise....ran a rehearsal studio ( With one of the NY Dolls pink drum sets to use...) It was down between Financial district & Chinatown...

Ace dude, brilliant and a stylish drummer love how he played.

He doesn't seem sober. Wow what a perfect interviewee.

This is the unedited part of a BBC 2 Arena documentary, broadcast a few weeks before he passed.

7:30 A brilliant and harrowing quote that can be applied in Many ways!…

The thing is - Scorsese should have tapped that natural. He would have been great in those films.

He was once good friends with Peter Criss from KISS. Unfortunately, had a falling out when Jerry got hooked on heroin.

Highly underrated drummer. Love the Heartbreakers. The "Real" Heartbreakers.

He is cool dude. You can see why Johnny looked up to him as a kind of father figure. Jerry gave him a slap and told him to behave just like all father figures do to people who had no dad's :-) But yeah reporters just wanna talk about nothing relevant.

What a terrific speaker.

Damn, homegirl had Jerry Nolan providing some awesome and unprecedented info in this interview, basically gifting her a 'once in a lifetime/ inside scoop of a story' offered up on a platter for her eyes only if she would have had the tenacity, diligence, steadfastness, or journalistic gumption to make it happen! Not only was Jerry agreeable and charming, hypothetically he would have been a very, very, valuable and extremely pertinent and extremely timely& knowledgable, authority on the whole Sid and Nancy calamity, not to mention Sid's unfortunate passing! A story dreams are made of, gift wrappped for this kid! But as we just were amazed to witness..,.She went the other way on that one dropping the ball, and beefing-it, so unforgiveably, and colossally-pathetic that.....Im still speechless and Im not joking! Nolan was so up close and personal with Sid and Nancy that last year of Nancy's life, he could have provided an extremely, reliable and unique perspective regarding the why, how, getting warm, not even close theories regarding that night. Not only that tho, Nolan was also buds w/Sid's bandmate and good friend growing up( Lydon)! As Jerry was just about to gift this rookie reporter with the scoop of a lifetime.....My ears were literally perking up awaiting this 'green-ass Journalist in- training' to follow with something along the lines of "So did you and Johhnny think Sid had just snapped from being pushed too much, after being so patient w/Nancy's manic behavior, or do you guys think it just wasnt something Sid could ever have done! Or were you two of the opinion (that many whom were close to the couple seem to be, which was that Nancy was killed while being robbed as Sid nodded out in the other room oblivious to Nancy's life being snuffed out by some piece of shit living in the Chelsea)....Yaa guys, if anyone could justifiably comment on that and shed some insight on that, it would be you guys being so close to Sid.....So Jerry, would you please elaborate on that conversation you had with Johnny...". I mean Geeez! Maybe some questions like that possibly? Anything at all to maybe shed alittle bit more light on a massive mystery where facts have been hard to come by!!! Who knows? I dont know, but good God woman, it seemed as ifJerry was totally ready to open up and provide some insights or even some answers that only him and Johnny could have provided! Thats what it looked like anyway, but then again.... I could be wrong! Anyhow, Jerry Rules 4 ever! SID RULES ALWAYS, Johhny interviews Rock/PiL Rocks, and the Sex Pistols were the greatest (up through January of 78) and Nancy was smokin' hot & Kicked ASs !! Peace

I agree with Jerry that Vicious took the balance away from Rotten in the Pistols. And Glen was a much better bass player, Sid never really learned to play. I like Vicious, but he should've had his own band.

To anyone that knows me, be advised it was yesterday April 28 2023 I first saw this.

Great to see this entire interview. You get a sense of what JN was really like. Very Cool! Thanks!

He was witty and very intelligent. A valuable observer of the scene. Wish he’d hung around a lot longer.

I cannot love this more - just grace. [On a side note, I think the 'chunky shoes' Lydon was wearing were brothel creepers, not DMs as the interviewer surmised]

Wise and insightful.

He's so very aware of the long picture of "show business" it is much greater than the vision of 99.9% of performers & sadly rock journalists.

Don Jerry the godfather

Interesting interview. Pretty smart guy.

What a cool geezer never seen this,sounds like a too bloke🍀🇬🇧👍🏼

He’s so on point.

Iconic…❤

Interesting interview. Thanks.

Brilliant interview and he absolutely nailed why Sid should not have joined the group

What there's a part 3. Fuk where's part 2. Lucky I get notified by subscribing 😁

From a time when interviewer’s let people talk good stuff man good stuff

a younger Columbo !

JN was right about the kids/fans at the Anarchy tour...all NY Dolls fans...Dolls were the real beginnings of it all.

You talkin' to me?

even though im sure Rotten was an absolute shithead during these times, I like that Jerry Nolan built him up so much

hostia que extraño ahora puedoescribir y antes no, no se no lo comprendo, o no quiero.bueno esto aparte.new yor doll forever ever...............

7:28 “Well Johnny, we all make our own Frankensteins and there’s yours.”

✌ 🎸

I have that poster he shows, I can't remember which magazine it came in

Is it just me or does Jerry look like Glen Matlock?

Amazing poster I collect sex pistols items 250 in total seen them live 6 times on reunion tours met glen and John I watched back in 1995 uk tv arena

jeez, all the heartbreakers were so fucked up.

Destruido por las drogas ☠️

The brought Nancy with them and the rest is history unfortunately

RIp. How ironic.

But never forget, despite his talent and charm, that he had a nasty methodone habit, for nearly 20 years, according to Walter Lure.

Is it a drag queen or just a drag?

What’s cancel culture again?

Lmso....Rotten is the opposite of sexy....asexual 😂😂😂
