Our Take

Ah, Johnny Thunders - the man, the myth, the legend. Known for his wild stage antics and gritty rock 'n' roll sound, Thunders always managed to captivate his audiences with his raw energy and infectious charisma. And now, with the release of "Finally Alone - The Sticks & Stones Tapes," we are given a rare glimpse into the isolated world of one of rock music's most enigmatic figures.

This album, comprised of previously unreleased recordings from Thunders' time with the band Sticks & Stones, showcases a more stripped-down and intimate side of the notorious guitarist. Gone are the flashy solos and over-the-top theatrics, replaced instead with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. Tracks like "Lonely Boy" and "Desperate Heart" reveal a vulnerability and raw emotion that is both captivating and heartbreaking.

Thunders may be known for his wild antics and larger-than-life personality, but "Finally Alone" shows us a different side of the man behind the legend. It's a reminder that even rock stars have their moments of solitude and introspection, and that sometimes the most powerful music can come from a place of quiet contemplation.

Overall, "Finally Alone - The Sticks & Stones Tapes" is a must-listen for any fan of Johnny Thunders or rock music in general. It's a rare glimpse into the personal struggles and inner turmoil of one of music's most enigmatic figures, and a testament to the enduring power of raw, unfiltered emotion. So go ahead, put on your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and lose yourself in the hypnotic world of Johnny Thunders. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Johnny Thunders

Profile: Johnny Thunders Johnny Thunders, the rock n' roll renegade with a heart of gold and a devil-may-care attitude, burst onto the music scene like a firecracker in the late 1970s. With his signature shock of unkempt hair, leather jacket, and sneer that could make even the toughest punks quiver in their boots, Thunders was a force to be reckoned with. Born John Anthony Genzale Jr. in Queens, New York, in 1952, Thunders was destined for a life of rebellion and rock n' roll. He cut his teeth in the legendary New York Dolls, a band that defined the glam rock era with their outrageous costumes, catchy tunes, and raucous live shows. But it was in his solo career, with his band The Heartbreakers, that Thunders truly came into his own. Their 1977 album "L.A.M.F." is a raw, gritty masterpiece that captures the essence of the punk rock ethos - reckless, unapologetic, and utterly irresistible. Thunders' snarling vocals and blistering guitar licks cut through the mix like a knife, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Despite his undeniable talent, Thunders was plagued by personal demons throughout his career. His well-documented struggles with addiction and mental health issues only added to his mystique, making him a tragic figure in the pantheon of rock n' roll legends. Sadly, Johnny Thunders' life was cut short in 1991, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike. His music may have been rough around the edges, but there was a beauty in its imperfections - a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful art comes from the most broken souls. Johnny Thunders may be gone, but his spirit lives on in every scuzzy guitar riff, every snarled lyric, and every rebellious soul who refuses to play
