Johnny Thunders

From the Beginning To the End

(Cleopatra)

"Too fast to live, too young to die," read one of the incomparable stylist's tattoos. Sadly, the firsr half of that motto proved prophetic. But he influenced legions both musically and fashion-wise. Johnny's trademark corkscrew turnarounds and up-neck swipes were as identifiable in the punk idiom as Johnny Ramones's choppy  downstrokes. A legend in his own time. 3-disc box set.
