Book Reviews of Trash! The Complete New York Dolls
Book Review: Good Place to start
Summary: 4 Stars
This book provides a good overall account of the story of The Dolls. Post Dolls-wise, there is more of an emphasis on Johnny Thunders later career than the other members, although their exploits are covered as well. My only complaint is that it did not have pre-Dolls photos. Reading about their pre-Dolls exploits made me wonder how they looked like during their mod-teenage years. Some early childhood photos would have been interesting as well. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this account if you have never previously read a book about this legendary band.
Summary of Trash! The Complete New York Dolls
The New York Dolls played an integral role in laying the foundations of punk rock. By taking the flamboyant sass of Jagger and Richards to outrageous extremes and combining it with down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll, the Dolls - fronted by icons David Johansen and Sylvan Sylvain - brought the punk scene to a fever pitch and inspired both fans and musicians like the Sex Pistols and Marilyn Manson. From their origins in the street gangs of New York's outer boroughs, through their recent rebirth and the untimely death of bassist Arthur Kane, Trash! offers a comprehensive look at these gender-bending scenesters. Featuring first-hand reminiscences, interviews with band members, revealing tour anecdotes, archival material, and 75 black-and-white photos, Trash! covers every leopard-clad inch of these glamsters' heyday. Set mostly in the chaotic and creative maelstrom of the mid-'70s New York scene, the book also profiles the individual band members' post-Dolls careers.General Books
