Our Take

Ah, Johnny Thunders, the man who made more enemies than hits, yet somehow still managed to captivate audiences with his reckless charm and devil-may-care attitude. His latest release, "Madrid Memory," is like taking a trip down memory lane with a rock 'n' roll renegade who just can't stay out of trouble.

From the moment you drop the needle on this silver and pink splatter vinyl, you're transported to a smoky bar in the heart of Madrid, where Thunders is holding court with his trusty guitar in hand. The opening track, "Rebel Without a Pause," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its blistering riffs and sneering vocals that cut straight to the bone.

As the record spins on, you can't help but feel like you're right there in the room with Thunders, living out every wild and reckless moment alongside him. Tracks like "Spanish Dancer" and "Streets of Laredo" showcase his uncanny ability to blend punk rock grit with a touch of old-school rockabilly swagger.

But it's not all chaos and mayhem on "Madrid Memory." Thunders shows his softer side on tracks like "Lonely Boy" and "Femme Fatale," revealing a vulnerability beneath his tough exterior that will tug at your heartstrings.

In the end, "Madrid Memory" is a fitting tribute to a true rock 'n' roll legend. So pour yourself a drink, turn up the volume, and let Johnny Thunders take you on a wild ride through the streets of Madrid. 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
