(May 7, 1946 - January 14, 1992)

Being a close friend of Johnny Thunders, he joined the New York Dolls after their first drummer died, and later co-founded The Heartbreakers with him.

After leaving the Heartbreakers, he played with Sid Vicious' band, the short-lived The Idols (with Arthur Kane), and worked again with Thunders, mostly on live shows.
