From [https://www.nme.com/news/music/new-york-dolls-18-1342703 New York Dolls pay tribute to Morrissey - NME] (November 23, 2006): | |||
<pre> | |||
Speaking exclusively to NME.COM, reclusive guitarist and founder member Sylvain Sylvain took the time to give props to former Smiths frontman Morrissey for reuniting the band for the 2004 Meltdown festival in London. | |||
He said: “I think David Johansen (singer) thought that those shows would just be a one-off but deep down, I knew that once we got back together the fans wouldn’t let us go.” | |||
As a youngster, Morrissey bombarded the offices of NME with letters declaring his love for the New York Dolls and at one point was even the head of the UK fan club. | |||
Sylvian added: “If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have got back together and thankfully we managed to do it before Arthur Kane (original bassist) died. We’ll always be grateful to Morrissey for that and he’s a great guy too… and so are his cousins!” | |||
</pre> | |||
Morrissey picked the New York Doll's song "Jet Boy" in [[Morrissey's favourite 13 singles of all time (2010)]]. | |||
The "Jet Boy" and "Looking For A Kiss" videos have also been used in pre-concert intermissions. | |||
