Great review of Black Album, MXV. Still I'm sad ... that I don't have the OG or could afford the Re-Issue of my 2nd favorite (Strawberries is it!) DAMNED album.
Saw the Thunders doc at a screening in a DC theater and really wasn't thrilled about it. The filmmakers other one on The Clash was so much better. That one really got in-depth about how much of a mistake it was to carry on the name with new line-up and very heartfelt some of the new players felt about it. Found the Johnny footage was stuff that's been floating around for years so nothing new or exciting and surprised they didn't have any x-Dolls interviewed but Sylvain. They couldn't get Johansen to talk on film
Or Wayne Kramer of Gang War
Sure Arthur & Jerry died but c'mon. Also the part about Johnny's ex claiming to be roughed up by him for a welfare check.
Thunders could barely stand up all junked out so how could he push her around
Overall, very disappointing to me. Left a lot to be desired walking out of the screening. The small gathering who showed up really didn't feel like sticking around to being part of the Q & A so the filmmaker seemed bummed and left for drinks. I guess like latter f'd up half-performances of Thunders, it was kind of a drag.
