Ramones - Loudmouth (1975 Live in Japanese TV)

[BloodyBrain4]

Fucking amazing. They were never the same once Tommy stopped drumming and producing. I cannot listen to anything past the third album. It is just so rank in comparison to this shit.

[edfeltch]

@PurpleHat1991,if you've played in punk bands you would know that because of the pace and need for stamina,its a lot harder than it looks.I played in a Texas punk band and it would kick my ass.

[TheLuee]

THIS SONG IS TOO LOUD!!!!!.....THATS WHY IS CALLED LOUDMOUTH...RAMONES FOR EVER #1....

[kikeolaza]

LASTIMA KE EL AUDIO ESTE FALLADITO!!!PERO NO IMPORTA RAMONES SON RAMONES!!!!

[TheLuee]

@kikeolaza yo no pienso, ni creeo, ni esucho, que el audio este falladito!!..estas mal asi se escucha porque tocan bien chingonn..bien mazisoo..mucha gente se espanta porque se escucha bien potente!!..mucho ruidoo..pero pues esto si es punk rock..para mi este audio se escucha a toda madres..y luego a todo volumen pues masss..cual falladitoo..arriba los ramones..

[54markl]

If ther is ever a Rock 'n Roll Religion, John Lennon is going to be on the Cross, and The Ramones are going to be inside The Ark of the Covenant!

[54markl]

Two Rock Groups changed my life Forever. One was The Beatles. The other was The Ramones.

[54markl]

HERE ARE THE FOUR CATS WHO ANNIHILATED DISCO AT THE HEIGHTH OF ITS POWER. LOOK AT THEM! They also quite inadvertently destroyed Progressive Rock, Southern Rock and Jazz Fusion, and almost destroyed Heavy Metal. One Group did this. The Beatles only destroyed Jazz.

[54markl]

LEPER MESSIAHS!!! ONLY THE BEATLES ARE GREATER, AND JUST BARELY!!! :)

[serg123ish]

amigo los Ramones no sacaron su primer LP en el 1975... fue en el 1976 y no salieron de gira hasta semanas despues de publicarlo en fin juzguen ustedes o que...

[FunnieBuddy]

i finally figured it out i saw a picture of the ramones playing i saw the cymbals

TOMMY USES PAISTE

[SuperMario16bit]

The Ramones > ELP. *Mark Prindle sent me here*

[cyberpunk33]

btw is not for Japanese tv, this is the rehearsal they did for Seymour Stein from sire records just before they got singed

[Horaciow14]

Hahahaha I love Joey and Dee Dee, I also like Tommy, and Johnny too even though he was an ass.

[angelofdeahTT]

i like the style of deedee :) in all aspects

[lahamttt123]

Tommy Ramone is one of the best technical drummers i've seen.

[circusmoo]

not only did dee dee write it he used to sing it in the first place. there is a vinyl demo testifying to the obvious while leaving the impression -- with the cover photo -- that joey was not yet in the band. perhaps the recording is from earlier than the summer of 74 or perhaps I'll learn in a more timely unfurling of events how to place cassette sounds onto this computer. if it sounds as if I'm soliciting...

[nazznomadbleedinout]

this has nothing to do with japan. this was recorded at performance studios in NYC in '75.

[simonsomatic]

their best ever riff at the end there

[ramonesnicole22]

they're so perfect <3

[mediattackrecords]

horrible musicians nonetheless great A and R strategy

[northlight1908]

@mediattackrecords: Energy and attitude, not technique or overblown "musicianship," are what counts in rock 'n' roll. The Ramones will remain inspirational for decades to come.

[kjaal]

@mediattackrecords

Ummm, yeah, someone learned a new term to use, do you really even know what A and R is?  I also checked out some of the artists on your site and they are amateurish at best, funny you can criticize the Ramones as "horrible" musicians.

[lilnetty2]

@mediattackrecords They wanted to imitate girl doo wop groups and were left with this. Not bad....btw, nobody created this but the band. No strategy no label svengali....its art and its awesome.

[shit311]

how could they get an offer and perform on japanese tv when they werent famous? they said they had nowhere to work at that period. im curious

[RamonesFreak566]

@shit311 it was probably aired when they got big in the 90s over at japan even though it was like a decade out of date

[wasdanah]

@RamonesFreak566 90s? 75? a decade out of date?

[RamonesFreak566]

@wasdanah i didnt feel like doing the math but its gotta be close to two decades out of date

[shmutzman]

2 people are loudmouth babies.

[az09vv]

CHILE SIEMPRE SERA RAMONEROOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

HEY HO LET´S GO!

[unclesam12345678910]

THE RAMONES! you cant beat them, a technicly talentless group of poor newyorkers that formed a band that mead it to international superstardome. probably the best band of all time!

[Chuckjagermeister]

This isn't Japanese TV. From what I've seen before it's "Arturo's Loft" in NYC. The Electro Harmonix reference is proof enough. I dunno. I'm old. Maybe I need to be sedated.

[GuerreroLoco1889]

q grande loco!!! aguante ROSARIO CENTRAL Y RAMONES FOR EVER

[Evinruderascal]

Regardless these characters were the best band of all time...eins swei drei fier!!

[ale999999]

japan? i don't think so...

[nogamiyuusuke]

かっこよすぎるだろ。

[jonanjello]

Johnny's guitar cord - seriously, they made them white back then?

[latitudetwenty]

Not gonna read all 150 comments so although it has probably already been said this is a video shot from Arturo Vega's loft in New York. There used to be a lot more from this performance on youtube then it disappeared and now I see some bits and pieces on here. And yes the is The Ramones at their best!

[yootesa1515]

my speakers are distorting XD YEAAAAAAAA!!!!

[diskochimp]

@yootesa1515 Sounds good though, eh?

[motherfuckerblack]

Esta raro el video

[MissEgasMoniz]

More proof that in no way did any British or European band invent Punk Rock Music. This is the pure essence of punk, and by the way.....kudos to all those great British (indeed anywhere) and European punk bands that followed. You were great too.

[jackbutt123456]

these guys suck SOO GOOD!!!!! They are truly Gods.

[BluntObject1234]

I likw how Johnny moves his mouth and breaths and how Dee Dee lifts his glasses at the end.

[6prereq]

@BluntObject1234 That's exactly what I was thinking and going to post and you beat me to it!!! Good job!!

[leocarlisi]

ametrallante

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

"Leave Home" remains their best album.

[munkyfied]

Best band ever!!!

[cody4556743]

pure

[BloodyBrain4]

FUCKING GENIUS SHIT

[dchs11]

you're a loudmouth baby. don't make me blitzkrieg bop you. or maybe get ya with me chainsaw. matter of fact, i know a good job for a mouth like yours on 53rd and 3rd.

[CENSOREDandEDITED]

Baby don't make me pop you in the mouth

[sexypsuedonym]

and that's AFTER the sound check!!!! LOL

[godalful]

The Ramones are a massive influence to me as a musician

[moLeOnPoT]

Damn, 1975. They were influenced by a lot of (great) bands before them, like the Dolls, Stooges and MC5, but let's be honest, they weren't remotely close to what the Ramones did.

[nblumer]

@moLeOnPoT

Right, the bands you mention were as talented and potentially as great but they were not as consistent as the Ramones. A lot of credit has to go to Johnny. He may have been a bit of a fascist in his thinking but he kept the band in line, disicpline wise, which was hard to do in Heroin, night clubbing New York. Joey had the heart but Johnny had the steely determination to keep the band orderly and, besides Dee towards the end, none of them really fucked up.

[mikeinoakland]

yes they re-invented guitar rock. i was there from 1964 to 1975... there was nothing like this on the face of the earth in the entire history of rock and roll. (the speed and TYPE of guitar playing).

[AssassinJoyful]

Johnny with his first Mosrite

[Jeffion75]

It's very funny! Joey has the appearance of foolish child but when he sings, is amazing, rock pracaraio.

[fraancostone79]

Loudmouth ♥

[WoodRatGirl]

Great performance but shame about the sound.

[rustinpieces]

@WoodRatGirl

That's the whole attraction of this take! Ramones should be digested strictly unfiltered and with lots of rough edges.

[WoodRatGirl]

@rustinpieces

Rusty, I'm not saying that I dislike it or anything. I just prefer the song done differently, that's all.

[jamesmeenan]

What they achieved in their first 2 years, as far as sound goes, has not been matched by any band before or since, regarding the complete and utter influence they had on 'rock'...................It's like you start a band and your first album is 'Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band'....... no band in rock history has ever done that.

Thanks for posting this piece of truly amazing rock history.

[0kipetchi0]

It's a fake : Ramones didn't travel to japan in 1975 !

But it's cool ...

[fraancostone79]

The Ramones ♥

[DieiPodTouchProfis]

simply the best band ever!!!

[TeenageHeadcase]

it probably aired on Japanese TV... I think that's what the (Live In Japan) means. When the Ramones just formed the band, they made this promotional video in Arturo Vega's loft (Arturo was the bands designer, he designed the logo among other things and also worked as a lightning technician at every Ramones show, he only missed 2 shows, ever!)

[tdmorrissey]

One of the greatest bands ever!!!

[earlhickey2009]

Best Band ever!

[michelbeatle]

epic

[3291GREG]

The chorus sounds like its from 'Teenage Lobotomy'

[sonicsteev]

kinda the chords might be aranged different and lobotomy it a little faster with only 2 main parts which are repeated, you could learn both of these songs on guitar really eaesyaly

[MattHatter]

They took such simplicity and without knowing it, made it difficult. The Ramones had such a cohesive power and drive that no "accomplished" or "professional" band could replicate it if they tried. That's the glory of The Ramones' musical legacy and that's why I love them.

[GraeCabbage]

I agree, everyone thinks Ramones music is easy to play, but it isn't.

Look at Blitzkrieg Bop on drums, such a simple 4/4 beat but it's hard as ah ha ha.

[unclemort1960]

@GraeCabbage they were `specialists`in the type of music they played/invented .

[PurpleHat1991]

@GraeCabbage well the guitar parts are super easy to play

[Hollandia777]

Once being asked a question: "D'ya realize ur music contents just 3 chords?" Johnny Ramone responsed: "Ya! But those R the proper ones!..."

[MrKimbolovesthelimbo]

@MattHatter Rabiolas

[23266334]

@MattHatter yeaahhh they just make his own , you defining them as they were

[robert101455]

This may have been shown on and taped from Japanese TV, but it was filmed in a studio in NYC. I remember seeing photos from this film shoot in ROCK SCENE magazine at the time. The Ramones hadn't even toured anywhere in 1975, much less gone abroad. I didn't live in NYC at the time, but I did see them on their first national tour in Atlanta in fall 1976...after the first album had been released but before their second one had been. Fun times!

[bramme123456]

indeed man, ramones were never in japan at that age..

[posthc]

Epic the Ramones are one of the 10 Rock band of History

[karlsalz]

it´s absolutely oldskool ;) Ramones for ever!!!!!!

[KMJKAlfa]

Hmm I wonder what that combo amp johnny is using is... It sounds killer.

[KMJKAlfa]

It's a Electro-Harmonix Mike Matthews Dirt Road, 1x12 75 watts.

[creepystranger007]

can i get one of those in Europe? =O

[KMJKAlfa]

They havent been in production for like 30 years. Check ebay there was a few there for like 300 USD tops not long ago.

[creepystranger007]

thanks Man!!! goint to check it out right now!

ill need to get a Mosrite too, but those babies cost a fortune..

[KMJKAlfa]

Google hallmark guitars.

[boneypart]

thanks i saw Johnny use that amp many times in the early days and never thought to ask what it was. mystery solved! that amp sounded great, and i'll bet the early albums were recorded with it.

[KMJKAlfa]

It sounds ok. Basic solid state, very hot rodish. No albums were recorded, 1975 radio city demos were tho. Debut album is blue ventures II + Super Lead + 4x12 cab. He had to carry the cab to the 6th floor to performance studios. Alone.

[boneypart]

having seen the Ramones many times with small amps as an unsigned New York band, i always thought the appearance of Marshall stacks was very un-Ramonesy, but that in the 70s you had to have them to look like a "real" band out in middle America.

[KMJKAlfa]

I cant believe you just said that. Marshall = the essence of rock n roll sound. Ramones = rock n roll. I mean, its fucking marshall. There is no beating it. Perioid. Marshall and Ampeg were a huge part of ramones sound and thank god john went for mosrite and marshall. Incredible combo. Trust me.

[boneypart]

yes, marshalls are great amps. im a player, and ive used them all. what i mean is, looks-wise, marshall stacks have an arena-rock look, which doesnt seem like the Ramones, a great band i first saw in 1975 in little bars, before the stacks.

[KMJKAlfa]

I dont care about what someones amps look like, that dont mean shit.

[boneypart]

alright, neverfuckingmind

[KMJKAlfa]

No need to say twice.

[boneypart]

marshall-schmarshall!

[KMJKAlfa]

Nothing beats a vintage 100W Super Lead, full stack of 4x12s and a wall of noise of massive ear damage.

[boneypart]

I bought a used Super Lead in 1971. certainly nothing louder, but it has great tone. chords sound amazing with those cabs, no wonder Johnny liked them.

[KMJKAlfa]

I prefer 60s super leads, tho 70s models are great too, of course. Practically the same as 2203 but 2203 has master volume so it makes it handier. (I have a 2203 and a 60s 1959 100W Suoer Lead) No fuzzing about with attenuators. 2959 is a hybrid of both with 4 inputs, master volume and reverb. John used 60s super leads (76-83), 70s super leads (83-late 80s, not perfectly sure), 2203 (no idea when got them and when they were stolen, i've seen them in his arsenal tho.) and JCM 800 (late 80s-96).

[creepystranger007]

KMJ you're the man, when it comes to Ramones spec things.!

[KMJKAlfa]

Yup. I even know Johnny Ramone's amp settings.

[rockerguitarman]

10 10 10 i think

[KMJKAlfa]

10 10 10?

[rockerguitarman]

every knob set to ten including volume.

[KMJKAlfa]

Well in that case you're are wrong wrong wrong. That setting is close to what he used with JCM 800 (P10 B5 M10 T10 MV10 PRE10). Settings for original 70s to mid 80s sound goes as follows. P3 B10 M7 T6 V10 (with 2203 MV 10 and PRE10). P stands for Presence in case you didnt know marshalls have a presence control.

[rockerguitarman]

dude why do you wanna copy his tone so much instead of getting your own?

[KMJKAlfa]

Cause its a great tone. I have my own aswell, but for playing ramones theres no better tone than ramones, obviously.

[tatethompson1234]

ii think that guy arguing with you is a dick,and hes bull shitting dude ive read tons of times that johnny has said himself everything is cranked up,he also he only used mosrites because they were cheap and to him all guitar sound the same when your amp is cranked all the way,thats also why he use to blow through speakers alot

[RamonePinhead]

@KMJKAlfa

Cool! How do you know? Source?

[BitternessBarbie94]

My favorite performance of this song. Thanks for posting this shit!

[kiks1234567]

I love Ramoness.

[zoat77]

way way way way ahead of their time!!!!!

[plenty2say]

They still are...

[oiyabastard]

i love this one hear that cool hi hat open and close , real smooth , mush mouth vocals , loud and nicely distorted fuckin great

[ZRN959]

Joey's birthday today. 58.

[wendellgee1985]

He's dead. Body-wise, anyway. This guy's spirit will never dies.

[ZRN959]

you know what I mean, but yes. Always.

[BuskruitOfficial]

Most brutal Punk, Ramones the best!

[petethebastard]

True Ramones... it sounds TOO LOUD at any setting!

[CoudyRamone]

yep LOUD AND FAST

[pingsdk]

this was not from japanese tv - it was recorded on arturo`s loft!

[dkinsight138]

[dudebearpig05]

[sjofarthotellet3]

[crazyandlazy999]

[jimmypitstop]

its fablous

[jimmypitstop]

i just can feel the spirit

[DeeDonner]

The Ramones nailed 'it'. No band has come close since..Am I wrong?

[dudebearpig05]

your absolutely right

[noahsan]

@DeeDonner Nope. I agree 100%

[tkoxratedx]

@DeeDonner No sir.

[vaspers]

congratulations. today this video was selected by the NYC Punk Rock Evolution Foundation.

[kaylah927]

Punch up DEE DEE TIME BOMB on youtube, so good!

[bronxbomber13x]

"You're a loudmouth baby, and you better shut it up." ha i love that

[philaboston]

you cannot any rawer or any richer than this video. awesome!

[coutiano]

hola perdon eso no es la televisión japonesa, ese es un show que realizaron en la casa de Arturo, se lo llamó "Arturo´s Loft" y era una serie de videos para promocionarse. de todas maneras, saludos, vivan los ramones!

[SagaSudaka]

they got that "awesomeness",

...fuckin love it

[henryfan88]

this is to jamesgarvey12345 ramones are punk not pop get it straight!

[BakerbakerPD]

Rip Ramones

[bengativo6]

you are loudmouth baby.fuck yea

[benkissinger]

Jesus Christ! Having only heard their studio recordings, I'd always dismissed the Ramones as sorta goofy, tepid, and only related to Punk stylistically. The Arturo's Loft recordings have violently enlightened me. Just amazing. Hopefully someone will legitimately release this soundtrack sometime soon.

[khattamshud]

so much better than all the british bands, better than the dead kennedys and new york dolls. they had the sound of early hardcore before anyone knew a thing

[BertiBee]

this is in arturo's loft... so i doubt it was on japanese TV ???

[aaarrrggghhhh]

It was. The writing at the beginning is Japanese. It says ''We're the Ramones, you shut up''. The Ramones are massive here. The year Joey died, the Fuji Rock Festival was dedicated to him.

[magacha]

Thas amazing. XD

[aaarrrggghhhh]

Just to clarify that, they never actually came to Japan until 1980, then 1988. This was a promo video shown on TV in Japan.

[vandaale]

und auch als ich mich endlich in einen käfer verwandelt hatte: musste ich doch wieder bei den ramones singen.

[STfatality]

now i can see who howard stern got his punk look from

[Peiper]

lmfao hahahahahaha

[ANARCHYRAMONE]

okay the ramones are punk rock not pop not emo im pretty sure emo wasnt even around in 1975

[dcramer76]

holy fuck!!!

[beatclub911]

Loudmouth does indeed works on your aggressive teachers in both middle and high schools.

[Goron593]

um... this isn't emo...

[camaroz28fatbuttgabe]

i know, but i hate emo music.

[deaddreadpunk]

camaroz i really hope you didn't call the ramones emo. only a complete dipshit doesn't know the difference between emo and punk.

[camaroz28fatbuttgabe]

ramones are pop, but yeah, i totally hate emo and i love punk.

[jamesgarvey12345]

pop?

[camaroz28fatbuttgabe]

like soda.

[jamesgarvey12345]

no i was asking why the guy comment "like pop?"

not that i thought the ramones were pop lol

You're a loudmouth baby you better shut it up! Works on your girlfriends everytime! Thanks Ramones!
