If you don't already like this lot: you need to! Johnny Thunders was a genius.
Plus, they're miles better than the New York Dolls.

I've got Johnny Thunders in me Amazon Wish List for years about time I parted with some hard earned I guess. I love Chinese Rock (the song that is!)

Haha! Yeah, it's definitely worth it. The best album to get is LAMF or Born Too Loose, both with the Heartbreakers, of course!
Chinese Rocks is fantastic but I'm still confused as to who wrote it. Dee Dee Ramone says he wrote it but so does Richard Hell. And Johnny Thunders!

EDIT: Dowload this if you wish, it's called In Cold Blood. Ace track.

Had me eye on LAMF *laughs like a 10 year old* for a while now - it got remastered with some extras yeah?

Yep, and it has a London Boys demo on it, which is fantastic!
Dead right, class title...boring fact but the Heartbreakers were all apparently in rival gangs in New York and LAMF is one of the gang's slogans.
