Our Take

Ah, Johnny Thunders, the rock 'n' roll bad boy we all love to hate to love. From The Beginning To The End, a retrospective album tracking Johnny's tumultuous career from start to finish, is a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of a true rockstar.

From the gritty punk anthem "Chinese Rocks" to the poignant ballad "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory," Johnny's raw emotion and devil-may-care attitude shines through on every track. The album's mix of live recordings and studio cuts gives fans a glimpse into the chaotic energy of his live shows, while also showcasing his undeniable talent as a songwriter.

But it's not all sunshine and roses for Johnny Thunders. The album's flaws are laid bare for all to see, from shoddy production values to questionable song choices. At times, it feels like Johnny is phoning it in, coasting on his reputation rather than pushing the envelope.

In the end, From The Beginning To The End is a bittersweet farewell to one of rock 'n' roll's most enigmatic figures. While it may not be a perfect album, it's a fitting tribute to a man who lived fast, died young, and left a trail of destruction in his wake. Johnny Thunders, we salute you.

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
