I watched this movie with my wife to settle an argument that there were no American bands that didn't rip off English bands. I said look at the New York Dolls, they are out from a 1973 left field. I had no idea of the true story behind this movie. Towards the end we were both switching between laughing and crying. Such an amazing story. - @Monday, April 15, 2013 5:22 AM

I actually looked for Artie for years. We were friends at Pratt. I had always wondered what happened to him after the Dolls. I thought he had died. Somehow, thanks to the web, I finally got hold of him. The Dolls reunion was not in his future at that point. He was an extremely gentle person and I was always amazed that his stage persona was so at odds with the person I had remembered. The documentary captures that. Thank you for posting! - @Monday, January 28, 2013 6:34 PM

This was a great film. And the story of Arthur was lifted, respectfully, into an episode of Phineas and Ferb where they boys try to get a band together that had broken up years ago. The drummer is working in a library... - @Friday, March 25, 2011 12:07 AM

I'm not a huge Dolls fan but this is one of the best docos I've ever seen. All about the power of music. The ending will stay with you for ever. - @Friday, February 4, 2011 1:04 AM

well.. from what I've seen and heard of woody allen in some movies..this is what I've thought....cool movie though never see so much of focus on the bassist in movie's so much...he had a wild drag make up..I also thought ace from kizz had a cool clumpy thing about him in his high boot's. - @Saturday, September 25, 2010 4:11 PM
