The New York Dolls debut album is an incredibly underrated album….It flat out rocks!!

The Dolls taught me its okay to not be okay sometimes

Age didnt hold these guys back...tgese guys SHREDDED this performance. Amazing. Wish Johnny and Jerry were still alive. RIP to them, Billy and Arthur!

Steve Conte can really work a guitar, One of the really great live performances by The Dolls.

Looks like it's down to just David J now. So sad when another rock n' roll legend goes to that great gig in the sky. Rest in peace Sylvain Sylvain!

I miss both the New York Dolls and the Craig Ferguson show

another Doll in heaven rip Syl

Totally awesome to see David Johansen and Sami Yaffa n hear one of the all time Dolls classics Personality Crisis!!! Always dug the dolls since the 1970's, still great to see this version of the band!!! Excellent!!!

Love the Dolls! 50 years on!

This song is quite a prophecy of the social media age. Which can be summed up, in toto, as a *Personality Crisis.* _”Wanna be someone who cow-ow-ounts...”_

God, I love the Dolls. Always did. Always will. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a corporate sham.

Absolutely heartbreaking that David Johansen is the only LIVING DOLL

Never seen that before -- friggin awesome. Saw Johansen so many times in the late 80s early 80s. Thunders more times than I could count. Bravo!

They can still beat the shit to any modern rock or metal band

All in all, a very very good performance

I was there for this taping, unfortunately it wasn't taped with the whole Craig Ferguson show. It was shot in another room during the daytime even on seperate day possibly. The whole room was just that stage. There was no desk or space for anything else. Great performance but shocked to see how TV illusion works. Got to hear 2 songs then they booted us out😅 Saw the edit in like 2 weeks later in time for Halloween. I was super stoked I got to see Sami Yaffa tho🖤

You know Steve Conte and Sam Yaffa are playing in Michael Monroe Band? I saw their two gigs in Helsinki, Finland just this Saturday. Was so cool. Michael again rocked the stage with such energy it is amazing he isn´t 20 years old!!! I felt proud of all the guys, including guitarist Rich Jones and drummer Karl Rockfist. And for those who have ever been Hanoi Rocks fans, I can tell that Nasty Suicide made a lengthy, happy guest performance during the gigs. Awesomeness.

This is why I fell in love with this band! The song is falling apart, and they don't give a fuck! So raw, so rank! Godmothers (I think they'll except this term) of punk rock!

So sad about the loss of Sylvain.

Johanssen is a legend

I'd rather listen to Sylvain Sylvain's or Johnny Thunders' guitars plugged in and feeding back than most of the music of today.

RIP Sylvain Sylvain

Staten Island's own: David Johansen everybody. These guys all fuckin ruled. Raw rock n roll at its finest. So influential to the early days of punk too in NYC.

David Johansen survived that 1970s New York madness while countless contemporaries are long gone

one of their best songs

Funny how nobody can quite replicate the sounds Johnny Thunders used to squeeze out of his guitar..

THE original punk band.....

sami is a really good fit for the new updated new york dolls.

He had the best musical guests

Punk, glam and proud : let's rock !

HOT PERFORMANCE BY CLASSIC ! LOVE YOU SYLVAIN !

The NY Dolls are the greatest band of all time.

Sylvain , buen viaje, pronto nos vemos. Una guía cuerda a cuerda rockeando la vida. Los creadores del Punk que iluminó nuestros caminos.

I knew Dave back in NJ during the 80's clubbing years (Buster Poindexter). He aged well!!! Wish I stayed that skinny!

amazing

NAILED IT!!!!

This band that I stumbled onto in 1984, 10 years after their heyday, sound electric in this 2008 performance, 34 years after their heyday, from the vantage of 2021, a million years after my heyday.

To be honest it doesn't really get much better than this.

Cracking performance 👍

This is the only video that will let me post. Today {27 July 2023} is the 50th anniversary of the release (notice I did not write "Drop") the single most influential record in "Rock" history still

“ are you listening to me?! Keller says he’s gonna WHACK me!!!!”

Fab band trailblazers. Inspired and inspired over again.,

David still sounds great

Bom demais!!!

Mick Jaggar and Lou Reed had an affair and out came this dude!

David Johansen I luv ya!

Thanks Moz!

Awesome 😎👍😎

Legends

So sad about Syl, very nice guy.. he produced my bands album on Triple X records. (Motorcycle Boy) I played drums for Johnny Thunders back in '90 in LA which was a great experience working and hanging out with him. Here's video of the show although the video quality and audio isn't the best. Blondie drummer Clem Burke played the last few songs. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbaXf5yGksrQY3k.html

Bummer Thunders and Nolan weren’t around for the Dolls revival. 😥 RIP Killer Kane and Sylvain Sylvain.

Wow freakin rock and roll

Sami Yaffa! YESSSS!

Get them into the Rock Hall 2022!

This was great but have you seen the video of their appearance on Don Kirshners Rock Concert? It's a must see. Hey Don, where did you go?

Me gustan desde siempre!!!!!!!!!!

Jo's got big time pipes and his style is ever in increase. Love Dollz more than all those other groups basically. Love the 00's Dolls tunes too. Big time. Haters are deaf, dumb, and stupid

Still the greatest.

Well, we can't take it this week And her friends don't want another speech Hoping for a better day To hear what she's got to say All about that personality crisis You got it while it was hot But now, frustration and heartache Is what you got (That's why they talk about personality) (Personality) But now, your tryin' to be something Now, you got to do something Wanna be someone who counts But you think about the times you did They took every ounce When it sure got to be a shame When you start to scream and shout You got to contradict all those times you butterflyin' about (You were butterflyin') About that personality crisis You got it while it was hot It's always hot you know it's frustration And heartache is what you got (I've gotta talk about personality) And you're a prima ballerina On a spring afternoon Change on into the wolfman Howlin', at the moon, hooowww About that personality crisis You got it while it was hot It's always hot you know it's frustration and Heartache is what you got (That's why they always talk about personality) Now, with all the crossin' fingers That mother nature says Your mirrors getting jammed up With all your friends That personality Everything is starting to blend (?) Personality When your mind starts to blend Got so much personality Impression of a friend of a friend Of a friend of a friend of a friend Personality, wonderin' how celebrities ever mend (Lookin' fine on television) Personality crisis You got it while it was hot It's always hot you know it's frustration and Heartache is all that you got Ohh, don't you worry Personality crisis Please don't cry It's just a personality crisis Please, don't stop Because you walk a personality Talk a personality

50 years ago, these visionaries predicted today's Pronoun War and some other idiosyncrasies. They should have changed their acronym to NYPD, New York's Phenomenal Dolls. David Jo Hansen is a legendary frontman and for sure one of US's best comedians from last century on, in the short-listed category of ''Contagious'' (you know, alongside WC Fields, Groucho Marx, Jerry Lewis). Long live the living Dolls.

redd redd redd...blood rushing to muh head...i better sit down!!

That time Buster Poindexter fronted the New York Dolls.

can not hear most of his lyrics (i'm a japanese), but happy to see all men in the performance... .

Still rips

Sam Yaffa on bass!

Vaya Con Dios Sylvain but I got to say Conte is selling it.

If Mick Jagger and Peter Dinklage had a baby...

Go damn this kicks ass.

David Johanson is like Arrow de Wilde with Brad Pitt's face. I mean that as a compliment. The world just wasn't ready for the NY Dolls

Wonderful 👍👍

Man I see Mick Jagger

Genzale ❤️🇮🇹🌹

David JoJagger 😂

I lived through the height of Punk , many top listed bands weren't. Sorry Ramones , but the New York dolls put you way behind 😎

Damn man turn Conte up!

The Rolling Stones are like a polite peck on the cheek whilst the New York Dolls are like a full on, wet French kiss.

Imagine the Rolling Stones were that good that many years later! These guys should have given Mic and the boys some lessons.

Who is in Johnny's spot on the right?

they are in tune? what the hell?

Styler Jagger ?????

サムヤッファ！

2006? -8

He is no Johnny Thunders, thats all I can say about this one.

It's not the same without Johnny Thunders

I saw this line up several times and while I love the Dolls, I just can't seem to find sympathy for Steve conte in place of Johnny Thunders. No one could make a guitar sqwak like Johnny

3 of the original guys were dead by the time this aired.

Ít ain’t the dolls without Johnny Thunders

Is that the ghost of Christmas past?

😍😍😍👍‼️

That's my boyfriend David Johansen and Syl without Johnny Thunders whom I hung out with and also @ Baggies with bassist Kenny Aaronson. At least those awful girls like Cyrinda and Mara aren't there. Basha of Stanford U

The’resE erything In Dolls From Aerosmith ToMotley Crue

Steve Conte, Sami Yaffa, Sylvain but who was the drummer?

Vinyal's version sounds so much better

Poor Steve Conte. As good as he is, Johnny Thunders' shoes were just too big to fill.....

hi mario

Mick jagger

Who knew...

not the NY dolls w/out Johnny thunders

This performance aint camp and outrageous enough for my liking

I like New York Dolls
