 CANOE -- JAM! Music: New York Dolls back with trash & flash
Not that many were laughing in 1974, when The New York Dolls confronted an unprepared rock establishment with a sound that dared to intrude on a bigger-is-better climate of virtuoso musicians and excessive production with a lo-fi collection of barely competently played three-chord tales of personality crises and rock-'n'-roll pills.
By the time the reborn Dolls (with Johansen and original guitarist Sylvain Sylvain joined by Steve Conte and drummer Brian Delaney) returned to New York last summer, they were down to two, having lost bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane to leukemia shortly after the London shows.
Recognition for the Dolls' legacy remains limited; and it does sometimes seem like the band is better remembered for the trashy, flashy lifestyle than for the music.

 New York Dolls Reviews
Da Dolls wanted to be the Rolling Stones and the Ronettes, in that order, but since they weren't musically competent enough to do either right they accidently invented this thing called punk rock.
The New York Dolls started the all important fashion trend of macho boys dressing up like brazen tarts, and you can tell they weren't serious drag queens 'cause they wound up looking like ugly men raiding their girlfriends' closets for a drunken bachelor party.
Maybe Johansen already spent most of his songwriting wad on the debut, as fresh songwriters are wont to do, which left the band in a sophomore slump due to lack of material, which happens all the time and is nothing for a band to be ashamed of (most of the time).

 New York Dolls
The New York Dolls were one of the two bands that appeared in 1973 and claimed that legacy - the other one was Aerosmith, of course.
The big difference is that the Dolls have too much stuff going on at once, with a poor mix that doesn't let the instruments shine on their own, whereas the Stones always took care of their members' individual sound.
In fact, with the release of this album, the Dolls were really hanging on to something cool: one or two more solid records and they could have forever washed off the 'secondary Stones' tag.

 TrouserPress.com :: New York Dolls
The New York Dolls had the style, attitude, rawness and audacity to reinterpret the notion of punk as it had existed in the '60s (i.e., with no political sensibilities but a debt to R&B) to create a decidedly '70s over-the-edge new reality prior to punk.
Although they made only two proper albums and were a meaningless relic by the time the Sex Pistols played their first gig, the Dolls singlehandedly began the local New York scene that later spawned the Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and others.
The Johansen/Sylvain record, recorded a few months later in Tokyo on a post-breakup contractual obligations tour, is a bootleg-quality live album by the remains of the band (Thunders and Kane are absent; Tony Machine is on Nolan's stool).

Along with the Stooges, the New York Dolls were largely responsible for pioneering the sound and attitude of punk, and this, their self-titled debut, is one of the founding documents of post-'60s rock.
Outrageous, shambolic, and bursting with energy, the Dolls borrowed from the amped-up, bluesy swagger of the Rolling Stones, the pop confections of Phil Spector, and the campy theatricality that would flower with the glam movement, yet brought it all together with a visceral impact that recalled the jolt of early rock & roll.
the new york dolls were together just long enough to make a coupla albums, nobody seems to have heard of them, but most of the punks in london around '77 loved 'em and could state them as a major influence.

But the Dolls -- singer David Johansen, guitarists Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain, bassist Arthur Kane and drummer Jerry Nolan -- captured both the glory and sorrow of glam, the high jinks and wasted youth, with electric photorealism.
The Dolls lived what they sang -- original drummer Billy Murcia died of chemical misadventure in late '72; Thunders became one of rock's junkie icons -- and New York Dolls packs the dark wallop of documentary.
