Johnny Thunders (Ex NY Doll)

[Death on Credit]

That was a pretty chilling article, rtbuck.

I don't really believe in any of that kind of stuff (you know, ghosts, spirits, the afterlife), but the image of the sad and lost soul of Johnny Thunders sitting in the room in which he died singing along with You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory is enough to bring a tear to my eye.

Yeah I don't believe much of that stuff either (I do find some paranormal things interesting ) but I thought this was kind of interesting especially being Halloween month. The link I provided does have a link to the actual podcast but the podcast is 2 hours long & the host is really awful. She doesn't come on until the 2nd hour & only talks about Johnny for a few minutes. The actual investigation took place after the podcast so I am curious what else they did find. She's supposed to be on in the future with the results.

I just looked at the site, and there's an update up, I'm not sure if you saw it:
THE JOHNNY THUNDERS DEATH ROOM UPDATE THE REVEALLOVE SURVIVES JOHNNY AND SABEL SAY “HELLO” FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Apparently love never dies, and Sabel Starr has joined Johnny in his hotel room limbo...

Wow Thanks! I will check that out right now!

that voice saying "Go ahead that's what I needed..." did kind of have Johnny's tone

It was all really hard to make out, so it's kind of tough to decide what's going on.

The only thing I really found believable in that whole scene was when she asked Johnny to knock to let them know that he's there, and the response they got was: "Aw, what the ****?"

I wonder how Sabel's husband and children would feel if they were notified that she was kicking it with Johnny in the underworld.

Yeah I find the whole Sable Starr thing being in the room a bit too much to. They were split up by the mid 70's

^^I can't take any of those "Paranormal" shows seriously myself, I think you have to be one of those people who is easily hypnotized to fall into the...trap for lack of a better word. No denying there are creepy places linked with terrible tragedies all over the globe, but I think the only place anything is really happening is between peoples ears.

Amazon.com: Thunders, Kane, & Nolan - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory: Thunders Kane & Nolan: Movies & TV

I found this DVD to hold his best live work, post Dolls. He's sober enough that his playing is definitely in the pocket, but still gritty. As it should be. He both opens and closes the show with Pipeline, and takes a solo acoustic break in the middle of the show. The crowd is mostly lackluster, probably there to see Johnny implode and got their ears blown off instead. I like the DVD so much that I ripped the audio from it and put it to CD. 10/10.

I have LAMF. I had a chance to pick up a whole bunch of his records years ago, but missed out. REGRET.
