Sylvain Sylvain, guitarist for glam rock pioneers New York Dolls, dies at 69 Variety © Provided by NBC News Sylvain Sylvain, cofounder and rhythm guitarist of legendary early 1970s proto-punk quintet the New York Dolls, died Wednesday after a battle with cancer, according to a social media post by his wife and multiple media reports. He was 69. While often lambasted in their era either as Rolling Stones knock-offs or for their shocking-at-the-time androgynous look the Dolls were one of the greatest influences on punk rock, on both sides of the Atlantic. Their vast influence can be heard in fellow New Yorkers the Ramones, who followed them by just a couple of years, as well as the Sex Pistols and the entire punk movement. While undercut by drug addiction, infighting and general unruly behavior, the Dolls cast a long shadow in the classic lineup s four years of existence.
