| | Jack Feeny reviews: Johnny Thunders |
| | The guitar and vocal trade-offs between Thunders and Lure (Walter being one of the less appropriate punk names in the business) is absolutely compelling and it is not hard to note and appreciate their superior technique over the other punk rockers of the time. | | | Thunders was never afraid to get the ol' acoustic out from time to time so a full album's worth just seems like an easy way for him to make a bit of bunce. | | | As it happens, this album does not have a huge amount of actual punk on it as Johnny showed why he was outside the petty confines of the genre with a surprisingly diverse and sometimes eclectic collection of songs. |

| | Splendid E-zine reviews: Johnny Thunders |
| | Thunders' guitar has always had a nasty, slightly sloppy sound to it and this unique six-string signature is in true form as it writes out one of his final musical chapters. | | | The sound quality is pretty consistent from track to track and as Thunders pipes away on the mic, you can almost picture him doing what he loved to do the most -- bringing rock 'n' roll to the kids. | | | Some may wonder how a city like New Orleans could kill a man like Johnny Thunders, but his effect on today's music is guaranteed to last until the guitar is played for the last time. |

| | TrouserPress.com :: Johnny Thunders |
| | JT the DJ returns — in assorted goofy voices — to introduce the songs on Bootlegging the Bootleggers, an uneven (and that's not just the widely varying sound quality) compilation of 1985-'89 live recordings, ostensibly drawn from assorted unauthorized albums. | | | Thunders died in New Orleans in April 1991. | | | Choosing material representative of all his prior musical phases, and aided immeasurably by co-producer Steve Lillywhite, Thunders turns in reasonably strong performances, perfectly employing his gutter guitar and New York sneer in a number of (musical) veins, including greasy R&B and a tender ballad. |

| | Johnny’s walking around with a cheap acoustic guitar and a syringe stuck in his matted black mane. | | | What is it about Johnny that intrigues me? What is it about tragedy that compels me? Certainly the New York Dolls figure prominently in the development of the entire punk movement as it took root in New York City and spread overseas like an STD carried inside the starched pleats Malcolm McLaren& fancy pants. | | | When Johnny was on form, he could charm a snakepit of a crowd, snapping out of drugged lethargy to deliver all that rock ‘n’ roll ever promised to be: Freedom, Subversion, Style and Release. |

| | Johnny told me that one of his reasons for doing the album was because he couldn’t do ballads or slowies with his previous groups. | | | Johnny also talked about planning to go to New Orleans to record with old jazz and RandB musicians. | | | By the time Johnny took off his guitar and spun the band into the encore, ‘Do You Love Me?’, the crowd had pogoed itself into a sweating, twitching heap. |

| | Thunders gets to be his own living legend on this album -- he introduces most of the songs here by flipping off the critics or tossing an expletive deleted -- and the performances are a real mixed-bag of studio and stage performances. | | | The CD starts as Johnny greets all listeners with a personal message, delivered in his hilariously slurred, druggy Noo Yawk twang: "Hey all you kids this ain't none ah that bootleg sh**, this is da real thing" and then blows a sloppy snotty kiss at ya. | | | Thunders is backed by a stellar band including Jerry Nolan (NY Dolls), Wayne Kramer (MC5), and others. |

| | Tom Watson: Johnny Thunders Best |
| | Mar 4, 2005 1:53:34 PM Johnny thunders is easily the most influential guitarist of the Punk scene and was hands down the most talented guitar player around town. | | | For the unitiated, Thunders was the lead guitarist at age 17 for the New York Dolls and, along with David Johansen and the gang, cut two classic records before flaming out in the mid-70s. | | | Hooked on heroin (which eventually took his life in a New Orleans flophouse), Thunders became the Godfather of the New York punk scene - playing regular gigs at Max's Kansas City and CBGB, and opening the infamous Sex Pistols UK tour with his band, The Heartbreakers. |

| | JOHNNY THUNDERS |
| | Anyone who saw the band live knew this was a blistering anthem for the not-so-blank generation, but the mix of the track and of L.A.M.F. (1977), the album from which it originated, was as murky as a Hammer film fog. | | | Back in the USA Johnny got to work with Wayne Kramer in Gang War but, despite constructing a fine set of originals peppered with old gems, the two were to tire of the venture after recording just one album. | | | The accompanying sound, which was to become his trademark, was the drunken yowl of half-tuned strings, immortalised on stand-out tracks (such as "Subway Train") from the first Dolls' album, and repeated to full effect on solo classics like "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory". |

| | AMZ - September 2000 - Johnny Thunders |
| | Thunders and his "talking" guitar, with the overall theme being self-destructive, blues-based, soul-drenching, hard rock, here going back to 1984 and Belfast, Ireland where Thunders and crew shook the crowd to its knees on a jarring and jerky rock and roll panic! | | | Tongue in cheek would be a good place to start in deciphering old Johnny's vocal ability, but the phrases he drips out of his guitar really tell the story above all else. | | | He's an underground phenomenon who managed to unearth enough listeners to generate quite an impressive buzz around the on again off again circuit of punk rock and Brit. |

| | Johnny Thunders has always been remembered for being a junkie and complete mess in general, but this CD shows what a great rock and roll performer he was. | | | Thunders shows his own brand of rock and roll, which mixed the spirit of mid-'50s rock, such as Jerry Lee Lewis, with the ragged and rough rock of the late-'70s NY scene. | | | Containing live and studio tracks, TMJB shows the side of Thunders that should be remembered, the musician and entertainer. |

| | Johnny Thunders : So Alone - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Featuring a veritable who's who of '70s punk and hard rock -- Chrissie Hynde, Phil Lynott, Peter Perrett, Steve Marriott, Paul Cook, and Steve Jones, among others -- the record was a testament to what the former New York Dolls guitarist could accomplish with a little focus. | | | Much like Thunders' best work with the Dolls and Heartbreakers, So Alone is a gloriously sloppy amalgam of R&B, doo-wop, and three-chord rock & roll. | | | The record's indisputable masterpiece is "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory," a wrenching, surprisingly literate ballad in which Thunders seems to acknowledge that his junkie lifestyle has doomed him to the abyss. |
