 Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls
Sylvain Sylvain’s explanation is simple – the New York Dolls was historically, and remains today, an attitude, not a discrete personnel.
It’s difficult to discern Sylvain’s attitude to McLaren (though there’s certainly none of the bile occasionally generated by John Lydon), although it’s clear that in the Dolls’ minds at least, McLaren came on board with the Dolls, and McLaren’s artistic influence was secondary to the band’s own artistic intentions.
I ask Sylvain whether he was ever frustrated that bands so obviously influenced by the Dolls – for example, Kiss and Motley Crue – became so successful commercially, while the Dolls were confined to the status of a cult band.

 Sylvain Sylvain - In Teenage News
Sylvain Sylvain "...in Teenage News" (Sleeve Notes from Nina Antonia) How could someone born on St. Valentine's Day, then christened Sylvain by his enraptured parents, not turn out to be anything other than a delightful imp.
For a talented songwriter with a classic swoony pop sensibility, life as a permanent sidekick to David Johansen's solo career was not on Sylvain's agenda nor was a 13th Street van smash in January 1977.
Most of the tracks were rerecorded for Sylvain's debut, but due to the nature of big business music deals, Syl was hustled in and out of the studio too fast for his liking and '78 Criminals contains his favorite versions of the songs mainly written between 75-78.

 CMT.com : Sylvain Sylvain : Biography
Prior to joining the Dolls, Sylvain had been in a band called Actress with future Dolls Johnny Thunders and Billy Murcia; when a replacement was needed for guitarist Rick Rivets, Sylvain stepped in.
Sylvain recorded a self-titled debut that year, which consisted of traditional, smoothed-out, highly melodic pop/rock with a variety of influences.
Its 1981 follow-up was released under the name (and title) Syl Sylvain and the Teardrops, but like its predecessor, was a commercial failure, and Sylvain was dropped by RCA.

 Vintage Guitar® magazine : Artist Pages
Sylvain’s enduring fame lies in the saber-sharp guitar styles he pioneered as one-fifth of the Dolls, who ranked among rock’s ultimate street gangs from 1972 to 1975, casting a cut ’n thrust blueprint for the likes of Aerosmith, Blondie, The Clash, Guns ’N Roses, Kiss, and the Sex Pistols.
Sylvain continued to work with Johansen, who kept the Dolls name for European and Japanese tours and weekend U.S. gigs into ’77 (the lineup included bassist Peter Jordan, who filled in when Kane was unable to play).
Sylvain no longer had his White Falcon (“Eastern Airlines wouldn’t let me check it, and they busted the neck on it”), so he switched to a custom Fender Telecaster for his Criminals days, and two RCA albums, Sylvain Sylvain (1979), and Syl Sylvain And The Teardrops (1981).

Sylvain Sylvain, on the other hand, loves to talk about the Dolls.
When I asked Sylvain what he thought of Amazon's recommendations of other bands that Dolls fans should try--i.e., should the online retailer have included more contemporary bands on its list?--Sylvain hit a jag about how he sings karaoke in his basement with his girlfriend, and then ended up pitching his recent solo album.

Sylvain's solo debut features the breathless "14th Street Beat," an ode to the Big Apple; the better-focused follow-up (with different musical associates) heightens the romantic angle with such tunes as "I Can't Forget Tomorrow," "Just One Kiss" and "It's Love." Pure charm.
