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!!
