Joey Ramone and mother Charlotte Lesher on Geraldo - Heavy Metal Moms episode

[stargazerlily86]

Ok the only band I recognized on this show is the Ramones, I guess the other popular bands were too busy?

[Nordfelt]

@stargazerlily86 Are you kidding me? I'm only 20 and I know who Jethro Tull and PBF are.

[138psychoskunk]

haha i love Joey and his mum was so supportive! i think that that is great :)

[aseism0]

2:24 =O

[Dropz4u]

Ramones Rule! Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock & Roll High School...Rock & Rock & Roll Radio Let's Go! Rock & Rock & Roll Radio Let's Go!

[Dropz4u]

yeah Ramones were not heavy metal, but Joey was into Motorhead & some other metal bands. Ramones Rule! Rock Rock Rock Rock Rock & Roll High School...Rock & Rock & Roll Radio Let's Go! Rock & Rock & Roll Radio Let's Go!

[bionorica09]

@Dropz4u Motörhead isn't metal either!They're FUCKING MOTÖRHEAD!!!!!!!!!!And Ramones ARE FUCKING RAMONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!YYYEEEAAAH­HHH RAMONES!!

[metaller8]

What a lovely guy Joey was!

[youseetoo]

historic!

[spastic017]

this is so, completely idiotic.

[Jotun0]

Noooooooo! I wanted to hear what the black guy was gonna say! ;(

[Joeyland]

Tull, heavy metal? How about musicians

[CambridgeHeights]

Everything was more toned-down back then.

[sseasons]

Geraldo is a piece of shit!

[supershqipa]

Who noticed a bald Monte Melnick clapping. If your a ramones fan you know what IM talking about.

[jwatson626]

Mama Volume, huh? They got a few Grammies, right? Right?

[Poppinphenobarbitol]

God, this show is shit and stupid

[GSTcheque]

Funny - Joey Ramone's Mom looks more related to Johnny Ramone.

[rtsoccerplayer]

that's one heavy metal moustache

[brokowska420]

6:44

[iwantwatermellon]

For years, my little brother thought that "Geraldo At Large" was about a criminal named Geraldo who hadn't been caught.

[campeau29]

why would Joey submit to this?

[pmgruhn]

@campeau29 Maybe the record company put him to it for publicity. Maybe he thought it might be a laugh. Maybe his mom asked him. Maybe it was a poke in the eye at the PMRC.

[RecordsAdNauseam666]

Ramones and Tull are the only bands of substance on this show

[detective166]

why does joey always wear sunglasses?

[jonathan401]

Yeah Geraldo suck a tailpipe you yuppie-ballsweat-swilling douchebag. Condescending prick, I bet you secretly like being peed on by grown men, you closet poof.

[sam1vitesse]

I FUCKING HATE GERALDO

[freekicking85]

what a condescending, stereotyping twat. 

[Terrance2786]

Geraldo's mustache is fucking epic!

[Metallicghost81]

All the other bands here and Geraldo blow hard except for the Ramones.

[R1METAL]

Damed, joey's mother is Jonnhy Ramone! hehehe...

[bignastyphilly]

back then if you had long hair, dumbasses like Geraldo thought you were heavy metal. that was  really cool footage though, i honestly didnt think ramones had mothers, i wonder whatever became of Mickey Lee?

[DancesWithCats55]

May 19, 2011... on what would have been Joey's 60th birthday, I just want to say "Happy heavenly birthday, Joey! R. I. P. <3 you always!!"

[colonicgerbil]

@DancesWithCats55 im glad i shared a birthday w one of my fav member of the band

[Capz541]

damn...i really wanted to hear what that black guy in bracers had to say...

also Ramones aren't heavy metal! They're their own genre. A genre called AWESOME!

[msnikish11]

this is great minus all the other crappy bands up there...RIP Joey!!!!

[Tessmage]

Jesus... Geraldo is such a flaky, pretentious self-promoting douchebag.

[94Cioppa]

The Ramones are not Heavy Metal.

[Hister333]

@94Cioppa Geraldos from the '60s. Heavy Metal meant anything cool back then.

[SCBianchi]

@94Cioppa 1:57 "...premiere punk-rock band."

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

@94Cioppa neither was jethro tull (also on this show), yet they won the first heavy metal grammy award. most of the actual heavy metal bands on this show were terrible! but geraldo introduced joey correctly as punk rock, and even claimed to have seen them @ c.b.g.b. The themes of the show apply equally to the ramones as the metal bands there, so its not that importnt... its a better title than just "rock moms".

[yoqse486]

@94Cioppa thats why the guy said the punk rock band he ramones

[existenceisrelative]

@94Cioppa It's all the same to a cop mustache like that.

[SongHooks1993]

@94Cioppa this was before people thought playing fast meant their music sounds better..

[TheRamonesOwns]

@94Cioppa hey retard. He said "the punk rock band"

[RicardoFollowill]

@TheRamonesOwns hey retard, look at the title of the video, bye.

[gabbagabbahey37]

5:38 I may have been one of those people...

[VDRP]

Hold it, since when were The Ramones a Heavy Metal band?

[miniraptorX]

Anyone else notice most of these bands suck ass?

[monsterjamnascar]

Where are all the comments about what an awful, condescending, square dickhead Geraldo is?

[GivepeaceachanceJL]

@monsterjamnascar THANK YOU!!

[Terrance2786]

@monsterjamnascar

His mustache makes up for all that...

[orvillepdonger]

@monsterjamnascar Geraldo is an awful, condescending, square dickhead.

[tonybalonymac]

They cut off the black guy :(

[TheEvilelvis89]

heavy metal ?? I mean, I love me some metal but I'm pretty sure joey ramone isn't metal lol

[MrHardrockfan666]

Joey Ramone, Jethro Tull? METAL?

[DrugStabbingTime]

What did the guy ask at the end when the video gets cut off? Is there any more of it available?

[goldeneye007662]

Heavy metal?- That is VERY arguable.

Screeching sound linked with drugs?- No, just no.

[CH4RLIEonUtube]

R.I.P. Joey We Love U!

[ummerrahh]

Geraldo's mom has an epic stash

[MrNonoz]

Feh

Anybody that had any clue about the Ramones knew they were pretty decent guys,

Except maybe Johnny

[theswatter]

@MrNonoz Johnny was a bit of a dick, true, but I don't think the band would have survived without his dictatorial rule. Dee Dee was the Ying and Johnny the Yang. The other two just kind of cruised along. Until Johnny swiped Joey's GF....

[dirtynuke]

Fuck Geraldo

[shadowplay71293]

Joey Ramone as ever so humble

[Mark5610]

Geraldo is a nerd

[CarMoves]

Joey's mom was great

[iowafilmdude22]

*Black dude stands up* *Video ends*

I love the Ramones so much.

[grimward]

Geraldo is satan

[ioriorioriorio]

Used to love joey, they played ct. alot.....not a big punker, but I liked the ramones...the mom is a typical queenns n.y. middle age lady( at the time o f this show)

[rustykeys178]

joey ramone was a punk not this metal ballshit

[mega1metalhead]

@rustykeys178 metal and punk are both great music

[croby]

Is it just me or does Joyes mom look alot like Johnny Ramone around the eyes and such?

[JacobBlackLova]

I love Joey's mom lol she looks like if Geraldo would have said anything mean to Joey, she would've cussed him out.

[chaineeznoodsss]

dude wheres the rest?

[wisesatyr72]

Mom  Rules !!

[dlather]

Just moved down the street from CBGB's. I really miss seeing The Ramones. True Originals!! Joey's mom made so much sense when she talked about drums & music being therapy!! Embracing Art!!! Only if all parents could be like that!! I also think that having Joey there really set him apart more than anyone else! That's why they had him there with all those "nobodies"!

[BRANDY82375]

Joey's mom was great!

[mohammedLfire]

Geraldo? seriously? Joey was far too good for this. The real threat to freedom in america was never music. It's horrendous daytime talk shows like this, Geraldo, Jerry, Sally, Maury. If there's a hell below they're all gonna go

God bless Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy

[dontleademsomuch]

joey's mother looks like johnny ramone

[fromthepittothegrave]

@dontleademsomuch she really does look like johnny!!!! she knows the songstoo so cool!!! these other people are nobodies and probably working at gas stations now.

[dontleademsomuch]

faggot hair metal guys, meet an original punk!

[chonyc77]

I think all those other band members where just there to meet Joey. Hehe...

[frediablo]

Great moment.RIP Joey!

[IngialV]

Who the hell are all those people? (I know who Joey Ramone is, obviously)

[posthastey]

Every time I see these cookie cutter hair band stereotypes, I think of bad gigs in strip mall bars with Nascar decor. Joey seems like he is wishing he could fall through a hole in the floor.

[earinsound]

buncha no names...except for joey

[madball2600]

amazing they lumped Joey with all those nobodies.

[jumpcrew123]

song is 4 45 i believe in miracles-the ramones

[KonChul]

When i was 14 back in 1993 and the Offspring was at their peak. I got so tired of the main shit... My friend said "Well listen to this" and he plugged a cassette into an old player... And it was the Ramones album "Road To Ruin". And it was so different and raw from anything i had ever heard, i loved it, still love it, and i am going to love it until i kick the bucket! My respect to the Ramones! Love you and always will!

[DeadJ0ker27]

what's the song at 4:45?

[allah211]

@DeadJ0ker27 "i believe in micacles"

obviously by the ramones

[DeadJ0ker27]

@allah211

THANK YOU! so much!

[allah211]

@DeadJ0ker27 no problem dude

[annienickjenks3]

awe..that was cool, some insight into Mr Joey Ramone , of my most favorite band ever! neato.Rip

[americanaccents]

Wow. A few useless losers from the 80's LA scene, and Joey Ramone. What's the connection?

[moxie96]

I remember coming home from school when this episode aired... my dad wouldn't let me near the VCR to record it the first time and erased it when I caught the repeat with "Lonesome Dove". I had the wrong Joey in my life...

[MrWer1138]

Im smiling and crying at the same time.And if someone has a problem with that Ill beat yer face in!hahahaha

[Tcassa89]

this makes me sad that Joey died at such a young age

R.I.P. Joey

[moxie96]

@Tcassa89 One month shy of his 50th birthday.

[BonzoGoesToMexico]

Rest In Peace Joey Ramone & Charlotte Lesher.

[A2Z83]

3:28 wtf is that? 5:58 I found this funny.

Oh yea Geraldo is a douche. Why did they go on this show? Anyway this is awesome. I love it.

[A2Z83]

When he said "deep dark secret". Joey's mom was like what?! why am I here again?

[lily0313]

ohh godd i love that queens accent :-D

[MikeOKeefecomedy]

OH NO, NOT JETHRO TULL

[SweetRamona77]

This is so cute! hahaha...

R.I.P. Joey and Charlotte.

[stolenpicassos]

Charlotte Lescher best mom ever rockarolla mum

[Primetimeparent]

I never followed Joey Ramone until I read his brother's book, "I Slept with Joey Ramone: A Family Memoir". I am so glad that Joey finally got the success and recognition he deserved...what a talent he was. RI.P.

[gastonave]

The real threat to America was ridiculous 80's hairstyles.

[Sokker001]

aww it got cut off...i wanted to hear what that black guy had to say :(

[Sokker001]

@chanceramone no it was more like 49 or 50

[DancesWithCats55]

May 19, 2010... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOEY RAMONE!!! Love you forever!! R. I. P.

[classicrockhead1969]

jOEY WAS THE MOST KICK ASS OUT OF ALL OF THEM!

LoL THE VIDEO ENDS WHEN THE BLACK GUY'S ABOUT TO SPEAK!

[saantinoo]

He was ugly as shit, but damn i love that man...

[jungleman68]

pop scene?

[Antnj81]

Geraldo is such a dildo kisser.

[DancesWithCats55]

April 15... R. I. P. Joey... Thinking 'bout ya always.

[HardAsARock222]

joey rules!!!

[rainybluesdebm]

That was an awesome interview; I enjoyed it thoroughly. Debbie

[eissacaylward]

haha, that was adorable. :)

rip joey, the world wants you back.

[napalmdeathfan13591]

LOL Joey and a bunch of glam rock fuckheads. wow.

[anygirlJ]

@napalmdeathfan13591 LOL Ain't that the truth. They were unworthy.

[DrugStabbingTime]

@napalmdeathfan13591 Glam rock? Glam rock is less "dark" looking, also Joey liked glam rock. I think you mean glam metal/hair metal. And no, not even that. Try cheesy heavy metal bozos. The audience are also pretty corny and scummy.

[sonicsteev]

what year?

[PoireauMan68]

FUCK me THE presenter is TON SELLECK !!!

[chanbkny]

This happens after every time that I watch this clip. My face hurts from smiling the whole time watching Joey and his mom. Joey will always be one of the most revered and loved frontmen of rock 'n' roll, maybe of any musical genre.

Miss you, Joey. Hope you and your mom are happy wherever you are.

[draconian45]

What an awesome mom.

[greenday72renaberry]

bwahahahahahahaha go Mama Ramone!!! R.I.P Joe,John,Dee,and Char!!!

[Arkstrikle]

all those bands werent metal they were hardrock

ramones were punk..they stereo typed it all in the 80s

[keeperofthe7keys12]

please put whole episode up please~!!!!

[DrUGXInDUCEdXDeAth]

does anyone know when this episode aired?

[SlashRockes1]

how old was Joey when he died???

[FoOtBaLLBuLL21]

pretty sure that he was 49

[cbarrett34]

@FoOtBaLLBuLL21 he was a month shy of his 50th bday

[IndieWalrus]

49- that's way too young :(

[CrummyRamone]

Disgracelly, the cancer don't respect genres, races, ages or economical and social conditions.

Joey died but he gifted us a great music legacy.

[PoireauMan68]

49 ...maybe...I talk a lot of shit but say he was born in 1950-52 and died 2001...maybe

[HotGeneration100]

Sheeesh. All these other bands are crapola. Long live the Ramones.

[punkrockefeller]

geraldo's american name was "jerry rivers"!

he changed it back 2 geraldo when the multicultural movement came into vogue!

[NeilFraudstrong]

This makes me LOL.

[AnarcoProducciones]

joey ramone heavy metal?

WTF?

[Hughie521324K]

i know what you mean.. talk about painting with broad strokes

[TheFaustianMan]

Rock and Roll will never die.

[MansonFan64]

Jethro Tull sucks monkey balls. Aqualung is the only good song they put out.

[f3rtube]

que bien

hasta la familia era

de nivel...

[RamonesClash]

that woman is amazing...

[americanaccents]

"Do your parents know you're the Ramones?!"

-Ms. Togar, Rock n' Roll High School

[fazelife]

long live punk rock...

Geraldo Rivera is a nob

[crlumberjack]

there are only three good bands being represented there ramones jethro tull and bang tango the rest is crappy poser shit, specially that danger danger its amazingly bad

[Ramonesfan990]

They cheered louder for Joey ( = RIP Joey we fuckin miss you

[890phil890]

shut up

[hellionsentinel]

Um...those are heavy metal artists?

[gnrev]

Geraldo Rivara is such a homo

[fazelife]

he's the type of douche that pretends to be so clean cut for the good of the public....fuck that man...if your a scumbag be a scumbag..pretending makes you look dumber

[redbatz]

3:30! LOL!

[MrJosejura]

lol they cut off the black guy

[trashglamhairvideozz]

Kristy, Joey and Steve are the best guys !

[eric829]

3:38 ... "i encouraged it rather than discouraged it"

thank you Charlotte ... you're truly the First Ramone.

[ChrisKiffmayer]

Oooooooooohhhh awesome!!!!!!!!

[TheThrashMaster]

does anyone else think nikki sixx is in the crowd?

[DancesWithCats55]

I really enjoyed this! What year was it? Glad to see Joey & mama together. When she sang "Beat On The Brat", I knew she was a rockin' cool mama!! So glad to see a mother so supportive of her sons. Thanks for sharing!

R. I. P. Charlotte and Joey.

[beanday2]

none of them are in metal bands...

[kingleonidus12]

i noticed mama ramone right away. rest in peace joey and charlotte.

[037016]

great to see Joey and his mom, a beautiful image together. They are such fun.! (Daniela, from Argentina)

[scumbagcabbie]

REST IN PEACE JOEY.....

[ernie90900]

this vid is awesoma man, thanks

[CrashingThroughMusic]

its soo sad to hear joey say hopefully he will be marred someday

[mozchandeb]

Fucking bullshit. There's some ignorant intimation here that Joey has something to do with heavy metal. Joey and his fellow Ramones made great rock 'n' roll with great harmonious pop melodies. NOTHING TO DO WITH HEAVY METAL WHATSOEVER.

[elgrano]

Cool video for the Joey Ramone part! but Geraldo's staff has to learn what heavy metal is, not one of these bands is heavy metal.

[animalliberation0961]

Charlotte is fuckin' awesome!

[nerualyram]

was D;

[BrickUnit]

freakin awesome! thanks mickey

[ultrapeck]

Great!!!

greetings from Argentina!!!
