Looking For Johnny - The Legend of Johnny Thunders REVIEW

 I would say 95% of general music fans don't have a clue who Johnny Thunders, New York Dolls or The Heartbreakers were, but I suggest this documentary to every music fan. Johnny Thunders was the lead guitarist and one of the main songwriters in Glam/Punk band The New York Dolls, then the lead guitarist and songwriter in The Heartbreakers before going solo on and off till his death in 1991. He was the poor mans Keith Richards, pure rock n roll but fell victim to the ugly dark side of rock n roll.

 I always remember Johnny as a musician, guitarist and songwriter. Too many people focus on just his personal drug issues, and I find that disgusting! Listen to the albums "New York Dolls", "Too Much Too Soon", "LAMF" and "So Alone", and you will really see his song writing and guitar playing shine. His later recordings like on "Sticks And Stones", for me showcase his best writing he's ever done, so mature and not just the basic standard he was known for.

 Looking For Johnny - The Legend of Johnny Thunders, directed by Danny Garcia, is probably the best documentary made on Johnny Thunders, and the most fairest of the bunch. His life and moments told by his bandmates,family and friends. People who actually knew him, and the truth. It highlights his high points and also the rock bottom moments. He was a huge talent lost in the world of insecurity, the fast lane, negative people and the victim of the music business. Always remembered, but not forgotten. - Tate Thompson
