Johnny Thunders…In Cold Blood – The Official Biography (revised edition) by Nina Antonia
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1 MB
Overview: ‘Johnny Thunders: In Cold Blood’ is the definitive portrait of the condemned man of rock’n’roll, from the baptism of fire and tragedy that was the New York Dolls, through the junkie punk years of the Heartbreakers and beyond. It is an unflinching account of a unique guitarist whose drug problems often overshadowed his considerable style and talent. Johnny was a hugely influential figure in both the glam-rock and punk eras and his music and style still resonates today.
Nina Antonia discovered Johnny Thunders and the New York Dolls when a young teenager and spent her formative years as a dedicated fan. Writing was her other passion and she commenced his biography in the early 80’s. When Johnny came to London, he and his manager read her drafts, decided the book should be an authorized biography, and uniquely gave her full access to Johnny’s life.
The book covers Johnny from his early life through the New York Dolls, Heartbreakers and solo, with interviews of many of the characters involved in his career.
First published in 1987, it was updated and revised in 2000 after Johnny’s death in 1991 and with further insights gained from Nina’s biography of the New York Dolls.
