The beginning of this clip is absolutely astonishing! Tommy explains how and why HE created the band. Why this clip wound up as an extra is beyond comprehension. Tommy is the Ramones.
Tommy was a local friend who gave his pals a rehearsal space and a few pointers due to having experience in the music business...that's it. Implying that he IS the Ramones, or that he "created" the Ramones is simply false. Johnny and Dee Dee mentioned to Tommy that they wanted to put together a band, Dee Dee and Joey wrote almost everything, and Dee Dee was allready calling himself "dee dee ramone". Tommy was just a friend who also just happened to be a great advisor.
i dunno, in a way, Tommy was the essential catalyst, 'cause he'd been telling Johnny to start a band and Johnny would just dismiss this (this is from the movie)....so of course, when he did want to, who does he go to - Tommy of course, 'cause he was the guy that planted the idea's seed...plus he clearly had a lotta insight about the kinda drums the band would need, which I think was essential...so I think Tommy was almost as important as the others..
I totally agree with you on all parts. Tommy rules! But he's definitely not "the band". Sure, Tommy had a good eye that his friends were colourful people who easily could put a great band together. but it was nothing more than "advice of a good friend". There's lots of bands in the world that had the advice of a good friend...but that doesn't make them responsible for the groups legacy and sound.
@shashwati: Excellent point, shashwati. I don't claim to be an expert on them but I thought I read somewhere that Tommy had is foot in the door working in some of the top studios in the city for alot of top producers. He had excellent contacts as well as engineering and producing ambitions. Those qualities alone made him indespensible.

a legendary icon? ha thats pretty funny. maybe to some odd number of queers like you. the fact that shes famous doesnt change that shes still just a stupid woman. shes no different than any other old cracked out slut, she just played in a band. idiots like you always praise a singer instead of the band for about 5-10% of the workload. next time do a little reading before you come out and make yourself look like a retard.
ha ha what a knobhead. y r u even leaving comments about somethng that you hate so much. i think ur quite ignorant really she co wrote all the blondie songs and shes a highly intelligent woman. she may not be the best at what she does but she does it fuckin well. go leave comments about something that u care about.

i do care about the ramones, its titled ramones retard. just because i have a differing opinion on someone whos not talented im ignorant? go suck a dick you ignorant cow. anyone can write stupid, ambigious lyrics, she only got famous cause shes good looking and had a good backing back. obviously shes not intelligent if you had bothered to watch. your just bitter because youre an ugly bitter old cunt and you wish you looked like her. writing lyrics is easy especially if they suck.
thanks for the offer slut but its probably too dried up and dusty inside your ancient old cunt. i dont fuck stupid old retarded yankees anyways. you should get someone to knock the dust off you nasty pussy everyonce in a while thats prolly why your husband has so many affairs cause your dried up like a prune.
knobhead. yeah thats a real good one remind me to write that down you sad old bag. i would probably stop commenting on things i didnt know anything about if i were you, like music for example or being sexually desirable. go fuck yourself you stupid cunt. come back when you learn something about music and shut that gaping semen depository you call a mouth. dirty old cunt.
wow how sad it is that you hate someone so much just for liking a band. music is supposed to be enjoyable sorry if im guilty for liking blondie theres so much shit that happens in the world and im getting told to die just for liking a band. wow thats sad
you mother fucking dad cock sucking pile of fucking crap. everyone hates u bet u have a fucking lonely world. ive read other peoples comments about you seems like you use ur wide range of filthy language on everyone i think u like to b a dick just for the sake of it,
and you're an idiot for your ignorant unacceptance of censure over your stupid over-paid idols who don't give a fuck about you you fucking worm smelly little shit.
stop picking arguements over the internet you're not a prankster you're not tough you're not smart at all, its pointless and really stupid, do you get a pathetic satisfaction over abusing your keyboard little fella?
Love the candidness of this stuff! If I had a time machine, never mind righting all the wrongs in history. All I would want to do is go back to the days of CBGBs and hang out with all those artists! That is my idea of Heaven.
Debby's a character. She would have sex with Chris on the toilet in the filthy bowels of CBGB. The stench down there was stunning. That's true love, I guess.
Dee Dee and the nun! hahahaa stab holes!
