Im looking for some other bands , new or old, that have similar energy to Johnny thunders
Ive already listened to most everything by the New York Dolls, Heartbreakers, Gang War and Thunders solo shit
Some of their guitar solos and dancey rythhyms and drums are just so great, to me, they really highlight the rock and roller lifestyle and

Hanoi Rocks were huge NY Dolls fanboys, even down to the heroin addiction

Poor Johnny had one of the worst deaths I can imagine.
He was given a bunch of LSD by some shitheads, thinking it was something else. Way more than anyone would possibly take consciously (remember just a tiny drop on blotter paper is enough to trip for 8 hours). So he didn't know wtf was going on with him and thought taking the Methadone he had would calm him down. He couldn't get the high down and apparently OD'ed on the Methadone. He was found dead curled up like a baby and under some furniture..like he just crawled in there and went through hell.

He had also leucemia and was pretty much given a couple of years max to live so its actually unclear what he died of in the end. Maybe it was the drugs, maybe the cancer, maybe both

Good catch. Dion was a rare New Yorker who loved Hank actually. I wonder if that song rubbed on him now.
But Johnny did a cover too. They all pretty much lived it, but Dion recovered.
