- From their high heels to the thick rouge on their cheeks, the New York Dolls’ androgynous look clearly had a huge impact on glam metal, specifically bands like Motley Crue, Poison, and Hanoi Rocks. These bands also took inspiration from the Dolls’ hard-partying image and developed reputations for living lives of excess.

They were the last proper ‘60s garageoutfit. They borrowed and combined the shrieking, hysterical melodicism of their older sisters’ girl group45s, the raunch and sleaze of the Rolling Stones(with Johansen and Thunders exuding chemistry like Jaggerand Richards) and the raw power of Detroit’s Stooges and MC5. Thunders in particular became a benchmar...
England’s first prominent punk-rock export had so much Dolls DNA in ‘em, they could’ve played Holiday Inn lounges on weekdays as a tribute act (if any such market for that existed). Basically, the Sex Pistols mixed the Dolls with the Stooges and a smattering of early heavy metal— a sloppy, nihilistic hard–rock band. Famously, manager Malcolm McLare...
All four original Ramones— Johnny, bassist Dee Dee, singer Joeyand drummer Tommy— witnessed the Dolls at the Mercer on many occasions. Tommy ultimately encapsulated the Dolls’ liberational effect upon the Ramones in the February 2001 issue of Mojomagazine. Noting their lack of traditional chops, he wondered why they were “much more exciting and ent...
The Cramps — helmed by the greatest couple in all of rock ‘n’ roll, singer Lux Interior and guitarist Poison Ivy— were what would’ve happened had the Dolls replaced Johansen and Thunders with Gomez and Morticia Addams. Then they substituted all those Stones and girl group 45s in their record stacks with cracklin’ old rockabilly singles. It’s fully ...
Of course, there’s no Misfitswithout New York Dolls. Sure, it’s filtered through a heavy dose of the Ramones. But think about the occasional whizbang lead that pre-Doyle guitarist Bobby Steele wove into early Misfits goodies such as “Horror Business.”Do you think perhaps he may have listened to Thunders a little bit? Ultimately, you hear the connec...
The impact of the Dolls on Social Distortion’s 1983 debut album, Mommy’s Little Monster, is loud and clear, leader Mike Ness’ then-penchant for dunking his face in a vat of mascara before walking onstage aside. Think of the big, banging notes issuing from his Gibson throughout the record, or the sneery, Johansen-esque baritone, which is his natural...
Finnish glam-punks Hanoi Rockswere the revenge of the early ‘80s upon the world for the Dolls’ mainstream commercial failure 10 years earlier. They came strutting out of the Laplands draped in scarves, leather and crushed velvet, seemingly bearing controlling stock in Max Factor. Singer Michael Monroe had more than a little Johansen DNA in his thro...
Hanoi Rocks’ biggest effect, aside from what got called “trash” bands in England, was on L.A.’s Sunset Strip glam-metal scene. Hanoi and the Dolls were essentially the twin North stars for that entire generation of Aqua Net abusers. Odd, considering the influence seemed purely cosmetic. The one band who seemingly got it right was Guns N’ Roses, rig...
Considering the Smiths’ penchant for precious, overly literate pop, the Dolls may seem an odd influence. But Morrisseywas obsessed with them. He was the teenage president of their British fan club, eventually penning an independently published fan biography full of fawning prose and seemingly every press clipping the band generated in their lifetim...
This one’s dead easy to see, especially on Manic Street Preachers’ early glam-punk phase. The Welsh upstarts burst from the valleys a seeming genetic cross between the Dolls and the Clash, as filtered through Hanoi Rocks. Spray paint-stenciled thrift store blouses, homemade Johnny Thunders haircuts, gobs of eyeliner, bombastic rockers with titles l...

15 years later, hair metal came out with a look and sound that was very similar to the New York Dolls. If you look at publicity photos of the band, they have the teased up hair, the lipstick, the leather pants, etc.
May 21, 2015 · According to the Encyclopedia of Popular Music (1995), the New York Dolls predated the punk and glam metal movements, and were "one of the most influential rock bands of the last 20 years". They influenced rock groups such as the Sex Pistols, Kiss, the Ramones, Guns N' Roses, the Damned, and The Smiths.
Oct 1, 2008 · Aerosmith, Kiss and Twisted Sister adopted the Dolls’ cross-dressing concept and made it acceptable for heavy metal, while Malcolm McLaren (who managed the Dolls for a short period in 1975 before the band broke up) created the Sex Pistols in the Dolls’ image, albeit a younger and snottier version.
