"Don't Come Close" sounds better here, live with the distorted electric guitar rather than the cheesy non-distorted one on the album. It makes it sound like some adult contemporary, easy listening or something, haha
@itsalex320 yeah i know it was there thing but drumming is a very energetic instrument and i know i would sweat my balls off if i were drumming with a jacket
"WOW! Hell yeah!! Love The Ramones. Been listening to a lot of The Ramones, Rancid, No Doubt, The Offspring, and Hey You! 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.
They did not talk to each other the last 8 years. Talk about hating the people you work with. Something like 2014 live shows total. That's a lot of times to play
@Queenrocks2020 i used to think that too but when you look at it not really i mean blitzkrieg bop is played at the NYC Yankees home games in between innings and tons of people wear the shirts and listen to em i mean who doesnt know blitzkrieg bop or i wanna be sedated?and theres some more evidence...but i dont feel like thinkin about it, it doesnt even matter what matters is the fact that the ramones kick ass!
Johnny got his ass beat because he liked to beat women in public, and it finally came back to him, when he beat her up in front of the wrong guys, who stomped on his head, and nearly killed him.
The sinciere camaraderie you would assume from a good band wasnt there.
Dee Dee was a addict, Joey had OCD, Johnny Ramone was a violent woman beater, who ended up in the hospital, for beating his girlfriend in from of other guys who put him in his place.
Joey then followed in Johnny's steps and hit a few himself, sending girls to the hospital, to fix thier nose.
Don't believe me? Read the book Mickey wrote, Joey's brother.
Look at DeeDee bringing the subtle bass stylings! All their later tunes sounded so much better live. I saw them on the End of the Century tour, it was hard to believe how much better that stuff sounded live and up tempo.
@fistchips 3 chord guitar rock okay not to hard but i know its about the signature of the way the artist plays, he had his thing going . dee dee wrote all the catchy songs , no one could sing those songs like joey .the key here is DEE DEE wrote the songs he deserves the credit so give it when its due.
The song"I've gone mental" on this clip has it all: Their energy,their hard ass sound,the look,the feel !!The Ramones kicked you in the balls and that all she wrote baby!!!
First time i listened to Judy is a Punk and Blitzkrieg Bop (first songs i heard of The Ramones) was when me and my mates were taking acid for the first time in the woods in Holland's summer. Everytime the next tab would hit we would play Blitzkrieg Bop as an opening, and then some. Can't believe i never listened to them before but I fucking love this band ever since.
The Ramones... what else? Everything else doesn't matter. They have all of the best R&R bands. The Who's powerfull on stage, The Stooges' simplicity in their songs , their own Phil Spector's wall of sound and the Beatle- Beach Boys' magnific - catchi- supreme melodies that make The Ramones one of the world's most influential institution . They changed the fashion, they broke fashion, a new culture era began with The Ramones. Films, bands, pictures, comics, clothes... Acces all Areas. WR Ramones
Marky was always my favorite Ramones drummer, honestly because I used to listen to a band called Dust, and they were just a hard rock band from the early 70s, and Marky was the drummer, back when he was a teenager and his name was still Marc Bell. Not exactly the same kind of music but I liked it all the same. You should check it out, great drumming
@SunnBurn i wouldn't say they were "bubble gum 60's" when u have people like the carpenters, the beatles, beach boys. so i think they r far from bubble gum!
@spudvader86..Not just bubble gum, but bubble gum with distortion. It is not an original thought on my part, but an assessment that was made by a record producer who went to check them out.
They had an act yes - but it was their ideas their act they decided - they ere original - unlike many the puppet bands of today that fleece the old skool for ideas on u tube etc and then come up with their re-hashed gimmick in starbucks
All the way through "She's The One", I had goose bumps up and down my arms! (even though I've heard the song 1,000 times) I love Marky, but I've gotta say that he always had the worst Ramones haircut. When it comes to their image, Johnny & Dee Dee had the coolest looking hair. People say that Marky wears a wig. Anybody know if that's true?
To me Joey Ramone is The Greatest Rock n Roll hero. He grows up not in the in crowd and not really attractive and his family is worried about what is going to become of him. He winds up fronting the greatest punk band in history and the greatest band all around to come out of New York City.
saw them live at the newcastle city hall 1978, they where total shit.......... came on late only played for 20 minutes and got a total canning from the crowd. toal rubbish.
@ilovetheramones I would say that Johnny probably thought it was more theatrical—like a motown group—if he and Dee Dee moved in a choreographed way . He thought that about their uniforms—I heard. Very serious. Genius. the genuine article right here.
@337mastershake Kind of late, but they Most definitely choreographed moves, like jumping at the 'Ohh Ohh' on Sheena was a punk rocker, and the moving foward and backwards in relation to the stage..A lot of times you'll see Johnny or DeeDee look over to see where the other is at..Maybe not so much in this clip, but in others yes..Check out Ramones 1980 in France..pretty Kick ass..
Joey, Dee Dee, and Johnny were the 3 biggest misfits around and they were so different. you never would have expected a conservative, a hippie, and a heroin addict to join together and start a hard rock band. they all hated each other but they played together for over 20 years. they had so much dedication and love for the music...RIP Ramones, you are sorely missed
I remember watching this at the time and bouncing round my parents house at 15, loved it. why dont any one mention Tommy , Richie , n marky its always joey ! We love em all .
u idiot its music for youth what the fuk do u think youth is the only people that didnt like it where bands that felt threatened by it at the time and older people that couldnt understand it. so if yur youthful and dont get it then theres sumtin wrong with u
This sound is easily imitated, that's why it was so popular. I'm not downing them, though. I think Ramones are fantastic. But bands influenced by them are usually horrible, and, again, interchangeable.
completely agree...I think Joey summed it up really well, that there's always the originators who do something that's good, and then someone'll come along and condense it down to what's easy (read: commercial) and make a lotta money, while the original people are still struggling...it's always like that it seems, whether with the Ramones, Thunders, the Dolls, or the hundreds of other people this has happened to...oh, well, great performance though..
I believe this is the whole show. I never saw anything else, and never heard anyone about it. And I have alot of Ramones footage. I am to young to see The Old Grey Whistle Test, I don't know if this set was of average length?
I think they also do Warthog look up Ramones - Warthog, It's the black n white one with Richie on drums, I think the did The old Gray whistle test a couple of times because I remember seeing a whole different set, It started in color and went black 'n white for Warthog but I can't find it anymore
@ilovetheramones Yeah, this is how fast the played all the time. A show would last an hour but you'd get two hours of songs crammed into it. They were a hell of a band to see live. Video doesn't do them justice. Joey was giant.
@usuario994 I've had the Old Grey Whistle Test DVD the BBC put out in the States for a while now, and there was a live performance of Rock and Roll High School on it, but that might've been a different show than this one. Bit hard to say.
This performance starts out a little slow, but when they hit Go Mental all hell breaks loose and they're like four bronco riders astride the same electricbuzzsaw beast...completely awesome.
No DIY culture is everywhere to me (Internet MYSPACE MUSIC, digital SAMPLING KITS, bootleg DVD ECT) the only thing that is not Punk Rock is Punk Rock.
Weird seeing 15yr olds IN 2009 dressing like a 15yr old PUNK of the 70s or the 80s.
I used to set the pa up for them,when they played Leeds.I remember Johnny shouting at to me to go further back during the sound checks and joey saying thats fine T'
The consensus these days is that Johnny was a bully and a control freak. There was also alot of agro after he stole Joey's girlfriend, later marrying her. But Joey had mental health problems and Dee Dee was an out and out junkie. There was probably no 'nice' way to hold a band together in those circumstances
Johnny wasn't the trouble maker. He gets a bad rap because he was a staunch Republican. DeeDee was the trouble maker (drugs), which was too bad because he wrote so many of their best songs.
i saw em four times including dee dee's 3rd to last show ....i miss these guys so much...even my athiest beliefs want me to wish theyre stil rockin out somewhere...with keith moon on drums...gabba gabba 1234
So good. I wish they were still about, i used to get so excited when they came to town, their gigs used to happen in a flash, i always promised myself "next time i will pay closer attention" but when they came on i was gone, such a good band.
yeah, but Forest Hills doesn't really strike me as a tennis-crazy part of Queens. I seem to think of it as that place where they have the "derelict" 1939 world's fair grounds. Ah the promise of the utopian future...
Oh right!!! I wouldn't know. Its all legendary to me The Ramones, Queens, NYC, CBGB'S in Manhattan..... I can't imagine The Ramones at The U.S. Tennis Open.
Pure punk rock I love it

No DIY culture is everywhere to me (Internet MYSPACE MUSIC, digital SAMPLING KITS, bootleg DVD ECT) the only thing that is not Punk Rock is Punk Rock.
Weird seeing 15yr olds IN 2009 dressing like a 15yr old PUNK of the 70s or the 80s.

Love the band but if there was a trouble maker in the band it was Johnny, just aggressive and disgruntled. Joey was a gent.

I heard many different places Johnny had a bad attitude, but I never heard any examples of his bad attitude. What he do that gave him a bad rap?
taylerjmontague 2 years ago
The consensus these days is that Johnny was a bully and a control freak. There was also alot of agro after he stole Joey's girlfriend, later marrying her. But Joey had mental health problems and Dee Dee was an out and out junkie. There was probably no 'nice' way to hold a band together in those circumstances

Johnny wasn't the trouble maker. He gets a bad rap because he was a staunch Republican. DeeDee was the trouble maker (drugs), which was too bad because he wrote so many of their best songs.

So good. I wish they were still about, i used to get so excited when they came to town, their gigs used to happen in a flash, i always promised myself "next time i will pay closer attention" but when they came on i was gone, such a good band.

Nice one, couldn't put it better myself. No need to pay attention, just enjoy the moment. I did when the played Plymouth UK in '77. Unforgetable gig.

The Ramones were one of the best bands to come out of Wales in the 70`s
We are very proud of them in Swansea.

The ramones are from Queens, NEW YORK dipshit, what are you proud about?
butlerbulldogs05 2 years ago
That old urban myth. Yeeah right. They are from Swansea , same as Bruce Springsteen. Stop reading Wikipedia fellah
ilikezappa 2 years ago
I think ilikezappa is having a joke mate. I read that they were from Forest Hills (where the tennis is), is that part of Queens?
FIFTY2WEEKS 2 years ago
ya forest hills is a part of queens and what do you mean where the tennis is?
butlerbulldogs05 2 years ago
Isn't Forest Hills where the U.S. Tennis Open is played ? is what I meant.
Thanks for answering
FIFTY2WEEKS 2 years ago
no problem im not much of tennis fan so i wouldnt know lol
butlerbulldogs05 2 years ago
yeah, but Forest Hills doesn't really strike me as a tennis-crazy part of Queens. I seem to think of it as that place where they have the "derelict" 1939 world's fair grounds. Ah the promise of the utopian future...
onnomon 2 years ago
Oh right!!! I wouldn't know. Its all legendary to me The Ramones, Queens, NYC, CBGB'S in Manhattan..... I can't imagine The Ramones at The U.S. Tennis Open.

and those tight skinny jeans don't help in playing tennis let alone sitting in the bleachers.
