Sylvain Sylvain’s explanation is simple – the New York Dolls was historically, and remains today, an attitude, not a discrete personnel.
It’s difficult to discern Sylvain’s attitude to McLaren (though there’s certainly none of the bile occasionally generated by John Lydon), although it’s clear that in the Dolls’ minds at least, McLaren came on board with the Dolls, and McLaren’s artistic influence was secondary to the band’s own artistic intentions.
I ask Sylvain whether he was ever frustrated that bands so obviously influenced by the Dolls – for example, Kiss and Motley Crue – became so successful commercially, while the Dolls were confined to the status of a cult band.
