John Madansky, known as Johnny Blitz,〔Strong, Martin C. ''The Great Rock Discography, 7th Edition.'' Edinburgh: Canongate, 2004. 1159.〕 is a punk rock drummer from Cleveland, Ohio, best known as being a member of the bands The Dead Boys and Rocket From The Tombs.〔Strong, Martin C. ''The Great Indie Discography, 2nd Edition.'' Edinburgh: Canongate, 2003. 82.〕 With the Dead Boys he helped pioneer the punk rock sound, look and attitude of the mid to late 1970s. He is not to be confused with Bryan Adams 1983-84 tour keyboarder Johnny 'Blitz' Hannah. ==Early career== Johnny Blitz met Cheetah Chrome though a classified ad, and together went on to play small gigs in short-lived bands.〔http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/a-dead-boy-lives/Content?oid=2226671〕 In early 1975, Blitz and Chrome were recruited to Rocket From the Tombs. The band broke up within the year. After the break up, Blitz and Chrome teamed up with singer Stiv Bators, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Zero, and bassist Jeff Magnum to form a band called Frankenstein. Eventually, the band renamed themselves Dead Boys and recruited James Sliman to be their manager. A Boston Globe retrospective described a Dead Boys concert with Blitz on drums: During his time with the Dead Boys, Blitz and a group of friends were in New York's Lower East Side when they became involved in an altercation with a separate group. During the altercation, Blitz was stabbed 5 times. The injury caused him to be hospitalized for months. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnny Blitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
