Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys, ties himself into a knot at CBGB's, New York, back in April 1977! This is the unmistakeable figure of Stiv Bators (RIP) and Cheetah Chrome on guitar of the Dead Boys. Stiv who sung, died and got himself into all sorts of difficulties on stage for the Dead Boys and beyond. He's pictured here by Robert Ebert at one of the bands numerous gigs at the Bowerys CBGB's on April 29th 1977. There are literally 100's of pictures of Stiv in various states of abuse for his art, so get prepared for more. Front men just ain't the same any more!!! I was lucky enough to have a drink with Stiv backstage after a Lords Of The New Church gig in Walsall in the late 80's. And he was a great geezer, he gave me and my mate Kev loads of free drink and draw and made us very welcome. Stiv fucking loved punk!! Background image Stiv again different shot same gig. |
