Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero, Johnny Blitz and Jeff Magnum were still on the road as Frankenstein when the band from Cleveland got a gig at the famous punk rock club CBGB in Manhattan through their friend Joey Ramone. There they performed for the first time as the Dead Boys and immediately found a place in the New York punk scene with an enthusiastic fan base. With the support of the owner of CBGB, Hilly Kristal, as band manager, the Dead Boys managed to get their hard three-chord punk under contract with the record label Sire Records. The debut album Young, Loud & Snotty was released in 1977 and in the same year the boys played as support acts for Iggy Pop and The Damned on their UK tours.
The Dead Boys' music was celebrated and praised in the music press, but a positive response in the US rock scene and the associated sales revenue from the debut album largely failed to materialize. A second album was produced, but it was too "hard" according to the label's expectations. After a few changes, We Have Come For Your Children was finally released in 1978 with the song Ain't It Fun, which later became a classic, but even this could not prevent the band from breaking up in 1979.
In addition, lead singer Stiv Bators died in 1990 as a result of a car accident. These were not easy times for this talented and impressive band. Despite everything, the Dead Boys left a clear mark and shaped the path of American punk. Today, the remaining members of the Dead Boys are still on stage and have remained true to themselves and their music. After more than 40 years of existence, they are now veterans of the genre, delighting fans of heavy metal and punk rock and inspiring big rock bands such as Guns N' Roses, who released a cover of Ain't It Fun, for example.
