I remember when the Dead Boys came out, and the Pistols.
I thought they sucked.
Stiv Bators was a real jerk, he used to hijack the stage from my friends band. He’d just walk on stage in the middle of a song and grab the mike.
The band would wig out trying to keep it all together and then they would follow Bators lead and it just worked.
The man was an ego maniac.
Soon I was starting to like this stuff.
Then Stiv formed lords of the New Church with Brian James in an attempt to go mainstream.
Brian was cool, I had a few beer with him. It was just a gig for him.
But Stivs head swelled and.. POP!
