Ramones - Don't Come Close 1978

[m0dsar3us]

The Ramones aren't necessarily a "punk rock" band - they played fucking rock & roll.

[foolscrow666]

Nobody comes close to the Ramones. All due respect to Iggy, The Clash, etc... but Joey and the boys defined a generation...

[randallcrash]

Somebody have the original video???

[manickp]

so i am just now starting to get into older punk. can anyone recommend good PUNK bands from like the Ramone's era to mid 90's?

[YouthEnergy]

@manickp Black Flag, Bad Religion, The Adolescents, Minor Threat, The Stooges (godfathers of punk).

[manickp]

@YouthEnergy Thanks!

[fatskin1]

@manickp Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, The Saints, The Ruts, Eater, Buzzcocks, The Adverts.

[lbsmrbrb1]

@manickp don't forget about the stooges. they were around before the ramones and weren't exactly "punk rock" but they played a huge role in the development of the genre

[bones1959]

RIP Joey

[kirkpimp]

Greatest American Band EVER!!!

[giggie]

nobody comes close !!

[czarniole]

[kietlennon]

This song makes me happy when I got trouble....

[Krosstika1]

i love the live versions better since theres no solos

[02Minibeasts]

Oh! This was on some channel recently. I got up at 6am to watch it, I watched this song, and everyone else on the show was shit so I went back to bed.

[seanboyspurs]

greatest band ever to walk planet earth !! 

[28if]

Search on Ramones San Francisco for their 1979 civic center free concert. I was there and the band was playing at their peak. Some of the best Ramones footage I have seen

[TheTrainRex]

@28if I know a bunch of people that were there

[28if]

@TheTrainRex And I can't believe it was a free concert. Thanks to BGP and the Ramones

[lollerz16]

This is one of my top 5 faves of the Ramones. Such imaginative bass guitar work.

[TheBillfer]

great stuff

[AnteBalboa]

32 years...32 million years in front of today music, simply genious

[pedro1agora]

ramones é a oitava maravilha do mundo

[ericnwren]

I like BOTH versions of this....Studio and Live!

Long Live The Ramones!!

[sonicsteev]

first couple of chords sound like shenna or anthor

[andrewlewis963]

just love it

[AmericanDragonfan]

groovy!

[MBOYA22]

Im not sure if it was because they call it Punk but I feel like The Ramones deserve to be so much more recognize than they are. They are the best band to come out of New York clearly and the best best punk band of all time.

[MBOYA22]

I fucking love them

[MuhammedTheDog]

I would love to see them at X factor/US Idol. What would Simmon say?

[moxie96]

I never saw them play like either but had found Johnny Ramone in San francisco three times. The third time we talked a bit. two years later he was gone.

[MBOYA22]

I WISH

[dogssteve]

succinct

[XshadowintruthzX]

Damn even though i never got to see them play live or know them up and personal, all it takes is listening to their great 'swings' and learning about them and im in love with them!

ultimately my favorite band of all time, great musicians at heart <3

[MatobecerrO]

im with ya

[MBOYA22]

My sentiments exactly

[Horaciow14]

0:02 - 0:05  joey rules

[Headbanger142]

A lot of bands today Don't Come Close to the Ramones

[pascual92]

haha good one

[markbray69]

aye lad

[slimv29]

@Headbanger142 music nowadays dont come close to good anymore

[101Volts]

@slimv29 Comments like this make me sad because there is good music these days. Sure, It may not be as groundbreaking as the Ramones were but its there.

[slimv29]

@101Volts you wish

[101Volts]

@slimv29 Yeah, I do. I wish you'd get your head out of the sand.

[slimv29]

@101Volts piss off alternative fanatic, your music is shit!

[101Volts]

@slimv29 I didn't say that you'd like my taste in music nor did I ask you to look in my favorites. (My music taste isn't shit to me, BTW - Its fantastic because its what I enjoy. Obviously its not what you like so its shit to you) There are enough bands out there and enough ways to find out about them that you *can* find a new band you like if you look.

[ruellerz]

@Headbanger142

Agreed

[brulldozer]

All you neo-crap "musicians" paying attention?!! You don't come close to The Ramones!!!! VIVA LOS RAMONES

[TonyyRamone]

The Ramones Conflict'

[sleakitweasel]

This really swings!

Listen to it closely - it's not simplistic at ALL!

There are multiple grooves going on: Johnny's guitar playing straight against Dee Dee's more loose and samba-like bass runs and the drummer keeping some krautrock insistency throughout.

Actually, Dee Dee makes this. He was one superb bassist!

[AmyLouiseFrench]

i love the bass in this. it makes it!

[H057IL3]

Wow, I didn't realize all that! Cool. Well put.

[AmyLouiseFrench]

Ramones are ace! :D

Especially this one mmmhmmm. Always cheers me up.

[BobWatching]

Fucking rock 'n' roll as it should be! Loud and loose!

[duke17charlie]

ramones have a place in my heart for ever

[TonyyRamone]

"zatzal' Joey-Jeff xxx.

[gl0omygl0om]

[Eneko77]

[fredannett]
