Ramones Ex-Wife Talks Curse

[HankCherry]

what a bunch off crap

[iorioriorio]

Bullshit!...the devil done got to them, thats all...no curse...the trenchcoat preacher was just being himself- tryin to "evangelise'.......not the right way tho, to "save" the ramones!!......I used to street preach, and have also been a ramones fan since the 70's, saw them many times...new haven, cbgb's...maxies, bottom line ...oreo from ct.

[cosmo100670]

Oklahoma, mid 70's, preacher with a long overcoat.

Sam Kinison?

[Hi5Gymnast]

I'm gonna go find that guy stab a knife threw his back grab the bible out of his hand pull it back threw his stomach then beat him with it till he says the curse backwards and all the Ramones come back to life

[Bietel]

Yeah. And Tommy now had grown a beard and plays bluegrass. Definitely a curse, then... come on!

[MegaHumanfly]

@mperrotti76 prostate cancer isnt VD u dick !

[acadx]

i saw some guy do the same thing to the members of black sabbath 1978 in jacksonville florida after a show, and they are all still alive,

[golftrailsucks]

BULLSHIT!

[DeeDirntDeeDirnt]

Idiot. The ramones just sniffed way too much glue. Thats all.

[mperrotti76]

@DeeDirntDeeDirnt They all died of drugs, booze and VD (prostate cancer). I mean c'mon they were all involved in the sex and drugs of the 70's culture.

[juliano66]

It's easy to dismiss a story like this, but people have been cursed--Iggy was by a dude in Haiti--it lasted for a couple of weeks and it was weird and scary according to his biography.

[MusicFreak575]

If Someond did put a curse on the Ramones, i hate them and hope they suffer.

[scumgod13]

@MusicFreak575 No doubt. I curse the person who cursed the Ramones. I love those guys!

[Boganvillar]

if he was clutching a cross and a bible he was probably some kind of christian extremist nutbag, fact is Christians aren't supposed to use any kind of magic, Christian priests don't curse people and all of this would've happened regardless of you running into that crazy guy. Joey was a smoker, Dee Dee was a heroin addict etc etc.. some of these things were inevitable.

[juliano66]

@Boganvillar Some of those Christian nutbags are actually Satanists--they use the cover as a disguise--

[Bietel]

@juliano66 Wouldn't surprise me.

[flescum]

This curse guy most have been really busy, cursing everyone from Hank Williams to Amy Whinehouse. This woman is full of it.

[sofakingvile]

Oh please... give me a break. So did Sid Vicious, Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan and Sitv Bators also meet up with this guy? Maybe he and his magic bible hit Upstairs at Max's.

It's a hard life - drugs, booze and rock'n'roll. It's a miracle we had them for so long and thank God we did. Rest in Peace.

[888kabe]

years of drugs did nothing though.

[southamericanrocker]

YOU were the curse!

[muziktrkr]

If there's any coincidences, it's that they became ill after the breakup. But they had an insane itinerary as a touring band, and while they saw bands they influenced playing arenas, they played the same places in the mid 90s that they did in the 70s and 80s... except CBGB..

[211FairyTale]

THE RAMONES WERE NOT CURSED. No way, no how. They were blessed to produce the coolest and baddest music of the 20th century. They lived fast, played fast, made their point and got out exactly when they were supposed to (kinda like their shows!) Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny, luv u 4 ever, Rock In Peace

[nataslovesyou]

Half of the comments here have mistaken Vera for Linda, despite how it clearly says at the beginning "VERA RAMONE KING".

[edfeltch]

She was the Ramones curse.

[okchata52]

It was probably The Westboro Church

[leaoaugusto]

I refuse to believe that she is actually affirming that all the bad things happened to the Ramones because they were supposedly cursed by a christian!! Camon Lady, gimme a break!!! 

[houseofgogo]

If there was a curse involved with the Ramones, clearly it was this bitch who started out with Joey and ends up marring Johnny without any consideration for the already deteriorating morale of our greatest natural resource since the Stooges. Fuck you, Linda.

[hanctho12]

wat song is this? its awesome dudes!!!

[choconibletbeans]

lol a christian cursing someone? obviously hes not a christian. its probibly a cult based on those followers 

[MsRayan01]

shes an ass!!

[StacyDarc]

It's no curse. CBGB'S bathroom was so filthy, I'm convinced it caused cancer. Dee Dee was a junkie. The end.

[ermac59]

I Love The Ramones but this woman sucks!

[tcapulett]

Thankyou for such a factually relevant and eloquent piece of garbage story.

[DrumGuitarDude]

i fucking hate these Jesus freaks. The ULTRA religious people.

[GreenmanXIV]

Anyone who watched this clip is cursed, and their cats too.....

Some f*ckwits will believe anything.

Send me $50.00, and I'll lift the curse. Send me $100.00, and I'll clear the cat too.

[oemfx1965]

NONSENSE!!!.

[beautifulsarah100]

Too bad we can't outlaw religion. 

[allmightymouse]

i never knew Dee Dee was married to anybody else but Barbara... in one of his books, he kept going on and on and on about Connie. learn sumthin' new everyday. R.I.P. Joey, Johnny & Dee Dee. God Bless you.

[cky2chris]

Was tommy taking a shit or something?

[hotaruramone]

@kidcalabria She was married to Dee Dee. They were married in 1978, he left her the same day he quit the Ramones. Barbara was his second wife.

[kidcalabria]

To which Ramone was this woman married? Johnny's widow is called Linda, Dee Dee's is called Barbara, I never heard of Joey being married, and Tommy is still around... was she married to Marky Ramone? His last name is Bell, not King... I'd be grateful if anybody could let me know... I'm kinda curious about it now... thanks

[AgentCyanid]

Tommy ramone

[zzzrr8rrzzz]

Ho Hum...

[ChuckHipolitho]

Curse, yes. They were the Ramones, and they died because of a curse. Ok. Got it.

[1967PONTIACGTO]

some clown puts a curse on you, and 30 years later you die!....give me a break.

[joxter74]

Iwant her Dr:s number...!!!....!!! (Now!)

[DerRexMeister]

lol.

welcome to the midwest.

[ChrisM1234]

A guy walking in a leather trench coat while carrying a bible and cross will approach the Ramones, based on appearance.

REALITY:

* Dee Dee injected an 8 ball and died

* Johnny didn't get examined for prostate cancer in time

* Joey got lymphoma, which he was controlling before falling in icy snow and breaking his hip

* Linda Stein supposedly abused someone who lost it and attacked her

ALIVE: Tommy, Mark, CJ, Monte, Arturo, the wives, etc.

* Not a curse. Just a crazy life with bad luck *

[xxxDABADDESTxxx]

@ChrisM1234 yeah, but all right before their 50th birthday? Its strangely coincidental......

[ChrisM1234]

@xxxDABADDESTxxx

Absolutely strange, but it was a bunch of reckless guys. Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny were in suspended youth. 'High risk insurance' guys.

* Most guys with cancer would be safer than Joey

* Most guys at Dee Dee's age would have lost the angst

* Most guys with Johnny's lifestyle would have gotten checked out

They all had the inability to 'grow up.'

I miss them a lot. They were great.

[xYum1x]

I don't believe in curses but what a douchebag to put a curse over them! But it was only a coincidence that they died in a short time after that. Joey was sick for a long time! R.I.P Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny <3

[DrugWhore1]

Fuck whoever the creep with the bible was!!!!! XD

[idontwantohurtnobody]

STINKING BACKSTABBING KUNT, DEE DEE FUCKED UP FOR NOT CAVEING IN HER SKULL.

[GabrielDhalaman2]

stupid lady...i want a curse like that,to become one of the greatest musicians ever with a succesfull 30 years career

[shumpie63]

Drummers are always amune from curses!

[Niech37]

@shumpie63 expect when they played with Spinal Tap

[NEWGUY562]

@shumpie63 it's immune and all i have to say to that is keith moon & John Bonham :/ R.I.P.

[CCRockit]

Uh...

or it could've been health problems, drugs and alcohol do that to you, it doesn't have to be related to a curse, there could be a much simpler solution, but NO we have to be schizophrenic.

[toddy1968]

That's what a hot rock n roll chick looks like when she stays on the party. If she was a guy she'd look like Iggy, or David Johansen.

[TheUltimateGC]

This is fucking retarded.

[k77jones]

dam christian extemist took down the greatest rock band in history?!!!!!!!!!!!!

[videorage]

I DONT WANNA GO DOWN TO THE BASEMENT!

[agnostoatomo]

Joey wants to Reunite the Ramones in Hell to show the Devil,what a real hot show lookslike...You'll see..the world will become a better place,becuz the Demons will be too busy with Punkrock instead of bothering all those ohsogooood christians,Muslims&Jews out there....oooouuuuuaaaaahahahah­a...

[ArmyMo]

oh fuckin' please....

[UtopianSeeker]

@ArmyMo DITTO!

[GaryG660]

I will check out the book. I hope Vera is doing okay.

[PanekPL]

I wanna fuck her hard. Nice MILF

[psychkoala]

@PanekPL

She's ugly and masculine.

[SmokinMo11]

ILL check out her book but dont believe The Ramones were cursed.Vera-It says in the bible "Those that are blessed CANNOT be cursed"! And The Ramones WERE Blessed Dont cha think? We all have problems..Thats just what we humans have,,But cursed?? NAH! Those guys had it good! Haiti cursed? I think so.The list goes on & on,The Ramones? NAH. Stop shopping & start doing some research instead of playing guessing games.I used to be like u but no more thank god! I miss em too!God bless!!

[mydevilcat]

OH PLEEEASE>>>>>GIVE ME A BREAK  !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xpensivewhino]

I Call Complete Bull Shit! cmon, life happens..people die.. She cashed in on her 15 minutes!

[slimv29]

i dont believe that shit

[WollHoden]

TEST

[godsizedhole]

Marky must have been in the bathroom...

[jaydenshea]

@godsizedhole ahahahah

[scorsese86]

@godsizedhole LOL

[toddy1968]

@godsizedhole Marky was a Ramone in name only. He was always filling in for Tommy and since Tommy wasn't present, there ya go.

[mperrotti76]

@godsizedhole LOL!!!

[viccokabezone]

CJ is a real ramone

[oiyabastard]

bimbo ramone

[fdlc1711]

She came out on rock n roll high school video as on of the chicks

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

Geez all you skeptics, chill out. "Curses" in popular culture are fun, like the "Curse of the Bambino" that "prevented" the Red Sox from winning for 8 decades. The shit that happened to the Ramones depresses us fans, and Vera's story puts an appropriately romantic spin on it, consistent with a band that sung about pet cematarys, pinheads, cretins, lobotomys, zero zero ufos and the texas chainsaw massacre.

[bradv77]

I love how she says "WE played Tulsa, OK."

[skroatz]

What a ditz

[GilbertSyndrome]

Mi God, how fucking moronic can you get, even if they'd have all lived til today they'd have still died at some point.... Curse? No. Life? Yes.

[1967PONTIACGTO]

No, there's nothing to it. There's no such things as curses. This is low brow garbage.

[waynealarsen]

I'd say so. it did seem like a curse. and the weird part is only Marky , Tommy and Ritchie are alive.... the drummers. Dee Dee was King.... I feel honoured to have spent a little time with him

[GilbertSyndrome]

Yeah, curses are real, Bigfoot can cast spells on unsuspecting people who wander through the woods at night..... One word..... BOLLOCKS!

[ElBastardo]

@waynealarsen CJ is alive. He played bass.

[waynealarsen]

this is Dee Dee's wife, not CJ's

[ElBastardo]

I didn't say it was. You said "the weird part is only Marky, Tommy and Ritchie are alive...the drummers." CJ is also alive and he played bass.

[moby406]

@ElBastardo

I have met them all, my friend Daniel produced them for many years. I've never considered CJ an original

member of the Ramones. just my opinion ( and CJ's from what he says)

[ElBastardo]

Dude, that's awesome! Hopefully I meet Marky some day

[stabtheimage]

CJ's a bassist!

[DeeDeeVerlaine]

That's pretty creepy, but I love creepy stuff and I love the Ramones so this is awesome! Not that they died but, y'know!

[MRafiMISFIT]

sickness is satans curse for sin

[ironbuttermilk]

Your head has been sinning then.

[davegangrena]

who is that girl??

was tha girl that all the ramones fucked him??

xD

i dont know she say!

:S

[Haarpunzel]

@metalstoner666:

Don't worry you were probably just stoned.

;-)

[metalstoner666]

theres alot of creepy spirtual shit out there i remember when i was young i think about 14 years old i met a man who clamed to be a roadie for motley crue in the 80's and this guy bought me a pack of cigs and i remeber him talking alot about angels and he gave me a phone number it was his wifes and i called the next day and asked to talk to him and she cryed and said he had been dead for 6 years it freaked me the fuck out

[gabeoi]

really?

[metalstoner666]

yeah no shit dude it scared the fuck out of me

[slimv29]

@metalstoner666 holy fuck, thats mad, you met a ghost!!

[deedeecapone]

I read vera's book,

She also mentions it in that book.(Poisoned Heart)

There's never any proof for such things but it gets you to think...

Nevertheless she wrote a great book a true ramones-story at last!

One thing is certain though;I really miss their shows and will allways love them.

This woman deserves an induction in the "Rock-wives Hall of Fame" !

Respect!

[slimstersquad]

oh no. Watch out tommy!

[maidenrocks98]

or ritchy,or cj

[GunzOfJustice]

@maidenrocks98 no, the curse was the original ramones, tommy is the last one, but this proves there is no god, otherwise the ramones would be alive performing today

[bengativo6]

repent

? repent

? from what ?

from being the best punk rock band in the world?.bullshit we are all cursed we are cursed since we are born .and our death its the cure.we all are going to die somehow!!!

[dwkline]

Why did it 30 years for it to happen? If only Dee Dee hadn't abused heroin, and Johnny and Joey hadn't died of cancer, then maybe the "curse" wouldn't have come to pass. It's amazing. I suppose Robert Palmer, Rick James, John Ritter, Bernie Mac, Billy Mays, and Michael Jackson were all "cursed" by the same man as well?

[samuelmorris17]

fucken religon

[ADTNMusic]

if thats true that guy needs to die for doing that to the ramones

[BigBishop1]

we all reap what we sow. so they say

[ChloePuffz]

CREEPY

[woodyamsterdam]

Both fascinating and scary... Too many died untimely indeed.
