Johnny's Gonna Die by The Replacements

Biografía del artista The Replacements

The Replacements Que En Un Principio Se Llamaron Impediments Fue Formado En 1978 Por El Cantante Compositor Y Guitarrista Paul Westerberg El Batería Chris Mars El Guitarrista Bob Stinson Y Su Hermano De 12 Años Tommy En El Bajo. Después De Varios Cambios De Nombre The Replacements Conocidos Cariñosamente Como 'Mats Por Sus Más Cercanos Fans Se Ganaron La Atención De La Gente De Su Minneapolis Natal Al Combinar El Glamour Y El Espíritu De Los New York Dolls Con La Rabia Adictiva De Los Sex Pistols. La Energía Desbordada Y Destructiva De Sus Conciertos Impulsada Por El Alcohol Y Una Completa Falta De Inhibiciones Se Convirtió Rápidamente En Algo Legendario. Aunque The Replacements Abrazaron El Espíritu Punk Desde Sus Inicios Con El Deseo De Molestar Y Una Afición Por La Bebida Habitual En Otros Grupos Hubo Algo Especial Desde El Principio. The Replacements Se Distanciaron Rápidamente De Las Otras Bandas Rock De Su Tiempo Gracias A La Determinación Y A Las Habilidades Compositivas De Paul Westerberg Al Tiempo Que Mostraban Más Ambición De La Que Nunca Serán Capaces De Admitir. Sus Canciones Flirteaban Con El Aburrimiento La Alienación Y La Furia Adolescente Pero Mostraban También Un Profundo Conocimiento De Las Melodías Clásicas Del Rock Y Del Pop Y Un Estilo Lírico Que Iba De Lo Sarcástico E Inteligente A Los Honesto Y Directo. A Medida Que El Grupo Progresaba Tanto Su Sonido Como La Escritura De Paul Se Convirtieron En Algo Más Refinado. Editado Originalmente En Agosto De 1981 El Debut Del Grupo Sorry Ma Forgot To Take Out The Trash Es Uno De Esos Discos Clásicos De Punk-Rock. Fuerte Rápido Y Totalmente Conciso Sus 18 Canciones Contienen La Energía Desnuda La Irreverencia Y El Desdén Adolescente Que Definieron La Ética Del Grupo En Este Período. Sin Embargo Entre Sus Estrías Ya Se Puede Encontrar Algún Intento De Paul Westerberg De Capturar Y Comunicar Sus Propias Experiencias Y Emociones. Puede Que No Haya Muchos Mejores Ejemplos De La Desgana Y La Desesperación Que Este Disco. Bien Fuera Escribiendo Sobre El Amor No Correspondido De Un Dependiente De Una Tienda O Sobre Algo Tan Simple Como Pasar El Día En Una Esquina Su Autor Capturaba Sinceramente Las Sensaciones De Los Adolescentes De Buena Parte Del Mundo. El EP Stink Fue Grabado Al Mismo Tiempo Que Su Debut Pero Se Editó Un Año Más Tarde. Evidentemente No Es Más Que La Continuación Del Anterior. Su Siguiente Álbum Hootenanny Editado En Abril De 1983 Significó Un Distanciamiento Significativo Del Sonido Punk-Rock Mostrado En Los Dos Primeros Discos. Todavía Quedaba Una Parte De La Energía Y De La Actitud Que Los Había Definido Tal Y Como Prueban Cortes Como "Run It" Una Canción Sobre Saltarse Los Semáforos En Rojo Por Increíble Que Parezca. Let It Be Es Un Disco Esencial Para Cualquier Degustador De Rock Americano De Los 80 Además De Convertirse Con El Tiempo En Uno De Los Más Influyentes De Los Editados En Su Época. Publicado Originalmente En Octubre De 1984 Let It Be Muestra La Confianza Del Grupo Como Unidad Su Madurez Como Músicos Y La Voz Definitiva De Paul Westerberg Como Compositor. Ahí Está El Rock Crudo Y Directo Que Se Convirtió En El Elemento Más Claro De Su Obra. También Contiene Algunos De Los Momentos Más Hermosos Y Melódicos De La Banda Mostrando Una Afinidad Con El Gran Alex Chilton Y Otros Clásicos De Los 80. Pleased To Meet Me Contiene Un Repertorio De Canciones Muy Variado Desde Rock Potente Como Alex Chilton Red Red Wine Y Shooting Dirty Pool Toques De Jazz Relajante Y Cálido En Night Club Jitters Nanas Como Skyway Alardes Musicales En The Ledge I Can't Hardly Wait Y Valentine. En 1985 Publican Tim En 1989 Don't Tell A Soul En 1990 All Shook Down. Se Terminan Separando En 1991

Frogtoon Música - Información de la canción: Johnny's Gonna Die

This Song Is About Johnny Thunders Guitarist And Founding Member Of The Glam-Rocking Punk-Pioneering New York Dolls. The Dolls Formed In 1971 In New York City As Their Name Suggests. Their 1973 Self-Titled Debut Album And Its Successor Too Much Too Soon 1974 Remain Cult Favorites And Landmarks In The Evolution Of The Punk Genre - Not Punk Themselves Per Say But Proto-Punk. Thunders Was A Hard Partyer From Early In His Career. He Got Addicted To Smack "Johnny Always Needs More Than He Shoots" And Stayed That Way For Over A Decade. It Was Natural To Assume Drugs Were The Cause When He Died On April 23 1991 And That Is How One Coroner Report Stated It Overdose By Heroin And Cocaine. Thunders' Death Actually Remains A Mystery Though And One That Gets Stranger The More You Look Into It. Thunders Died In The Inn On St. Peter In New Orleans. According To Thunders/Dolls Biographer Nina Antonia Who Spoke With Thunders' Sister The Autopsy Showed Signs Of Advanced Leukemia. Even Stranger Is The Accounting Of Dee Dee Ramone Of The Ramones. In His Biography Lobotomy Surviving The Ramones Dee Dee States That He Got A Call From Thunders' Rhythm Guitar Player Stevie Klasson Saying That Thunders Had Gotten Tangled Up With Some "bastards" Who Stole Thunders' Methadone Supply Fed Him LSD And Killed Him. Fringe-Music Legend Willy DeVille Further Muddied Waters With Good Intentions When He Claimed That Thunders Died With His Guitar In His Hands. DeVille Lived Next To The Hotel Where Thunders' Body Was Found And Was Assailed With Inquiries By Journalists. The Reality Was That Rigor Mortis Had Already Set In When Thunders Was Pulled Out Of The Hotel And His Body Was Rigid In The Fetal Position - None Too Flattering. DeVille Was Trying To Add A Little Rock-Star Myth-Making To Romanticise A Grim Situation But Later Admitted That He Invented The Claim About The Guitar. Thunders And The Dolls Were Major Inspirations For Replacements Frontman Paul Westerberg. When Westerberg Brought Some Albums Over To Convince His Fellow Replacements That They Should Be More Punk Than Metal One Of The Albums He Brought Was Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers' Live At Max's Kansas City 1979 . The Replacements Covered Thunders Songs Often In Their Early Shows. In July Of 1980 The Replacements Competed To Open For Thunders' New Band Gang War Who Were Set To Play In The Replacements' Minneapolis Stomping Grounds. They Lost Out To Local Rival Hüsker Dü.
Westerberg Decided To Attend The Show Anyway. In A Scene Detailed In Trouble Boys The True Story Of The Replacements Bob Mehr Da Capo Press 2017 Thunders Was In A Rough Way Before The Performance Going Through Withdrawal And Claiming His Heroin Had Been Stolen. Hüsker Dü Frontman Bob Mould Rounded Up Enough Cocaine To Get Thunders Functioning Again. Thunders Staggered Out Onstage Looking Moribund. "When Johnny Was Playing It Looked Like He Was Walking Dead " Westerberg Is Quoted In Trouble Boys. "It Was Pitiful Like Watching A Guy In A Cage." Westerberg Wrote "Johnny's Gonna Die" The Next Day At Home Borrowing From Chords From The Heartbreakers' "Chinese Rocks " Which Is About Thunders Scoring Heroin. Westerberg Was Aware He Was Predicting The Death Of One Of His Inspirations And Someone Who Was A Real Human Being In His Circle But He Figured That Everyone Who Knew Thunders Knew That He Was Going To Die And Those Who Didn't Know Thunders Wouldn't Know What The Song Was About. Thunders Was Reportedly Amused By The Song And Later Told Westerberg Half-Jokingly And Half-Seriously About It Backstage At A Show. In March Of 1989 The Replacements Were Playing On A Bill With Thunders. Westerberg Called For Thunders To Join Them In A Performance Of "I Will Dare " And Someone In The Audience Cried Out "Johnny's Gonna Die!" Westerberg Angrily Told Them To Shut It And Have Some Respect.
Westerberg Himself Had A Close Brush With Death From Using Pharmaceutical Amphetamines On Tour. The Experience Is The Basis Of "Take Me Down To The Hospital."
The Song Was Important To Westerberg's Songwriting Development Being The First Slow Ballad-Like Song He Had Written.
