The NDAA Took My Baby Away

[bobdaugherty820]

This is a very "makeshift" video. =p

[germarr93]

JOEY RAMONE had the best moves in the stage

RAMONES FOREVER !!

[xDIStructorx]

it's sad that the grim reaper took 3 of them away

[esplorantes]

The KKK of this song is Johnny Ramone!!

Johnnny was pro-conservative, while Joey Dee Dee were pro-anarchist who married many social struggles.This song was inspired by the fact that Johnny "seduced" Joey 's woman and took she away. Joey never forgave, and he wrote in memory, this song.

Got it kids?

[vampiregirlgbg]

@esplorantes For once sombody got it right. Thanks!

[deadpool759]

They sound better live

[TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, tell the true and I don't want you to comment until you first freeze the video and look at the lead singer. He looks just like he could be a relative of Howard Stern.

[TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, this particular situation happened to 153 people and they didn't like it lol. What I don't understand is why his brother didn't get him for this song. I don' mea hit him with the guitar but at least spike the pizza lol.

[lustforliveable]

[ale999999]

@BlitzkriegDude the first drummer was joey

[p0pel]

Not that what I would call sophisticated music...

[Gnaattori]

You all do know, that this song is about Joeys black girlfriend, whos parents took her away from Joey, not Johnny? :p

(Source: Mickeys book)

[cheriansrule]

@Gnaattori that's sad :`( poor Joey

[TheCrimsonification]

The KKK rapes farm animals!! BWHAHAHA!

[TubeFreakJonas]

Johnny was a piece of shit for saying racist, anti-Jewish things to Joey, but the reason he probably 'stole' Joey's girl was because he was just a lot better with women. Not anyone's fault really.

Still, the event fucked up the best band in rock. Bros before hos.

[DeeDirntDeeDirnt]

RIP Johnny. 7 years today the king of downstrokes was tooken away.

[OWENMEISTER04]

Fuck those lame audience! If I was there, I'd be throwing chairs and bang my head real hard!!!!

PUNKS NEVER DIE!!!!

[Miruulul]

@OWENMEISTER04 Unfortunately, we Swedes tend to be like that. I was one of few who headbanged at a Motorhead concert. I don't know what's wrong with people.

[Stanttuu]

in finland we call that audience words like: lame, gay, swedish.

[spastic017]

unbelievable how drugs made deedee so thin.

[KillBaddBugz]

[stone314687]

[AntonioCarloDiCanio]

The gay gay gays took my virginity, my virginity, away from me.

[wildwest100]

[AntonioCarloDiCanio]

@wildwest100 Lighten up, bumder.

[ShadowNonymous]

In Soviet Russia, the baby takes away the KKK.

[MrPeguin666]

PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Horaciow14]

@MrPeguin666 People weren't ready for this awesomeness!!!! Ramones were way ahead of their time and if the Ramones were to raise from their graves and play a show like this it would be the most out of control show.

[DeadLegaciesUK]

@MrPeguin666 it was a show in germany and they had to sit down it was the rules, the guys said it was one of the strangest atmospheres at a gig theyd ever had lol

[LaichzeitFX]

[VictimofDarkness86]

@elfchef yes,,that's true..but if it wasn't meant to be that way or god didn't wanted to then he could be still alive....but whatever we say now it's over...!!

[robertx6x6x6]

Se la dedico a su amada

[Cjpwnzall]

Why are you talking about a death metal band on a Ramones video..? Just asking.

Punk's not dead.

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

Death rules!!! \m/

[mrbloodytit]

It's songs like these that make me want to spank women.

[Draknor27]

Anyone here ever heard of Death? Punk band out of Detroit in the 70s I believe..hard to find, better luck finding a torrent.

[deathguitrst]

@Draknor27 DEATH is already famous as a death metal band

[Draknor27]

@Draknor27 Ah cause there cant be 2 bands with the same name that are good? Just try and check em out.

[tetrisman1234]

[byrummatt]

151 people never got there they say

[verre009]

Jeffry Ross Hyman -3

[JcKramer1991]

my fave ramones song

[camarogirl32]

I LOVE YOU JOEY!!!!!!!

[mcdermottlaw]

Ramones were very cool. They made Rock n Roll fun again in eighties after the whole art rock thing in the '70's

[themahermax]

IT'S SO FUNNY HOW JOEY SING THIS SONG ABOUT THE GUY WHO IS NEXT TO HIM !!!!!

[saiAhikaru]

@themahermax i dont get it.

[forrestfire1012]

@themahermax Good for you...

[mitefiend]

@themahermax Eh? read the book his brother wrote, about who this is sung about? It was about a earlier love, and she was african-american.

[TasteForDisaster]

@themahermax next to him? who do you mean? what do you mean?

[leftystrat76]

@TasteForDisaster Johnny basically stole Joey's gf Linda (who liked Joey a lot, but not head-over-heels lke Joey was with her). Joey & Johnny never really got along anyway, and that did it for Joey. So he wrote this song, because Johnny was extremely right-wing and was always making "jokes" about blacks and Jews.

Read Monte Melnick's "On the Road With The Ramones"-- he was their road manager for their entire 22-year career. The story is in there (with dozens of others). It's a great read.

[TasteForDisaster]

@leftystrat76 wait so, the band didn't even break up after that happened?

[leftystrat76]

@TasteForDisaster Ha, nope-- Joey fucking HATED Johnny after that, but the band stayed together for another 15 years! 

There were a LOT of things that should have killed the band-- DeeDee's raging non-stop drug abuse (and oh yeah he was also bipolar), Marky's raging alcoholism (till he got sober), Johnny being an unbending 24-7 hyper-critical asshole, and the overall lack of ANY radio play or critical recognition at all. But goddam, they hung in there,,, and I for one am glad they did :)

[ryuVSbison]

@leftystrat76 I have heard the legend that this is about Conservative, slightly bigoted Johnny Ramone stealing away Joey's girlfriend. But I was reading "I Slept With Joey Ramone" and according to his brother, Joey first makes the reference to the "KKK" phrase when a girl he met in a mental institution parents took her away. He had referred to her parents as the "KKK" because of their disapproval of their interracial relationship. Then again, I guess only Joey can say for sure.

[kimmiramone]

@leftystrat76 Johnny did more than make jokes. He ACTUALLY had a KKK card that a fan gave him, that he proudly kept in his wallet. You are totally right about the "unbending 24-7 hyper-critical asshole"

[leftystrat76]

@kimmiramone Yeah, kinghell guitar player, but equally kinghell control-freak insensitive asshole right up there. Hey it was prob his bulldozer "never quit" drive that kept the R's going long as they did. But damn-- Joey was (by all accounts) a nice sweet friendly guy, always met with fans, and would do anything for ya. Yeah his OCD prob drove Johnny nuts, but stealing Linda was goddam COLD. Lesser guys wouldve just said "fuck it" and left the band. Joey stayed-- for the fans! Righteous guy.

[kimmiramone]

@leftystrat76 True dat! One of the many reasons I run a charity in his honor....separate from the one his brother runs.

[PaulBriden]

@leftystrat76 Linda did have a brain of her own you know, you cannot just steal women like cars, they do have a choice, none of us were there to understand there inter band politics, even those in a band sometimes do not understand what is going on. Joey stayed i am sure for many reasons, but for the fans is a bit naive, lovely thinking though.

[LennonMcCartney12393]

@themahermax Yeah Thats Exactly what im thinking :A

[ale999999]

@themahermax funny? I think that's it's really sick. pour guys anyway it's a crazy world

[deadchefbill]

@themahermax how much ya wanna bet johnny never knew what the song was about...

[TheMidnightBell07]

@themahermax Hey, you sound lie him. That's his real life brother lol.

[stbreal]

@themahermax joeys brother said he wrote the song before he found out about the affair

[themahermax]

@stbreal NO !!! i know he said that in his book BUT he is a liar.......everyone knows the real story and they know that johnny & joey do not talk to each other since many years

[stbreal]

@themahermax your right don't trust the people who were there

[HAsmatarian]

"WOW! Hell yeah!! Love The Ramones. Been listening to a lot of The Ramones, Rancid, Hey You!, The Offspring, and No Doubt lately....We need more punk in 2011!!!!

Hey You! is still pretty new but they're really dope. cute singer girl too :-) check em out.

type in "hey you band taking over"

[TheNirvanafan95]

@HAsmatarian check out stiff little fingers brilliant punk band

[mondosacro]

[MrPeguin666]

Poor Johnny and Dee Dee, no one ever told them guitar straps were adjustable.

[PBANDSNOW]

@MrPeguin666 They played low out of personal preference.

[MrPeguin666]

@PBANDSNOW i was kidding lol

[PBANDSNOW]

@MrPeguin666 O...it was a good joke none the less!
