“Being devoted to the New York Dolls ruined my education… Johnny’s guitar actually sings.” – Morrissey

“Johnny Thunders is very important. People should respect that.” – Stiv Bators

“Thunders was always one of my heroes – so it was great meeting him and brilliant to actually play with him.” – Tony James

“The point is that Johnny ‘had it’. Like Jack Kerouac or Frank O’Hara as writers, or Jackson Pollock in paint, he was never short of nerve and he was magnificent. He played with a mesmerizing, casual fury, ripping chords from the guitar as if they were love letters he’d stopped himself just in time from sending. He really only spoke with his guitar, so when he played he said a lot and said it directly. He burned.” Richard Hell

Johnny Thunders… In Cold Blood by Nina Antonia is the definitive book of a punk icon.
