Additional InformationA true rock and roll star, Johnny Thunders lived life on the dirty margins. Drug dependency and decadence were part of his everyday existence, and also the cause of his untimely death. Thunders and his band the Heartbreakers are acclaimed for their glam-influenced punk rock, which they produced throughout the late 1970's. DEAD OR ALIVE features a 1984 show reuniting the original members. Their exciting performance of their still-great material includes "Sad Vacation," "Hurt Me," "Chinese Rocks," "Born to Lose," "Like a Rolling Stone," and others. In addition, rare bonus material of the UK Anarchy Tour in 1976, interview footage, and clips from a feature film in which Thunders appeared are also included.
