Ramone Family acceptance speech at Special Merit Awards

[renc2002]

This should have fucking aired. This pisses me off like you wouldn't believe. I didn't find out about this Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award until much later because it didn't get the spotlight like it deserved (once again, Ramones being blackballed and silenced in some fashion) ....Bieber's gay ass should have been bumped to the last 5 minutes of the grammys and the Ramones should have had his spot.

I wonder who the fuck Justin Bieber will inspire besides queer porn stars?

Larga vida a los RAMONES!!!

[videmais]

[MrRexham]

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things

Ramones were a musical supernova outshining the known universe and creating a new one.

[StephenFiorentini]

Mickey you legend!

[DazeyMay]

Touching *and* humorous. Lovely tributes to keep the memory and music alive. Great job, Mickey.

[Headbanger142]

Ha ha, I agree with Mickey Leigh. Fuck Justin Bieber. It's the Ramones who need the recognition!

[BrickUnit]

Mickey is living off joeys talent

[ironmancwb]

@BrickUnit go fuck yourself mf

[ADTNMusic]

@BrickUnit No, Mickey is keeping the legend alive.

[BrickUnit]

@ADTNMusic no, mickey should get a job, its the fans keeping the legacy alive

[ADTNMusic]

@BrickUnit The man is working to put out another Joey solo album..cmon dude show some respect.

[goonie961]

Thank you MickeyLeigh for doing such a wonderful job of sharing your brother's talent, legacy, and above all else, your love for your Joey. Even in grief you are one of the funniest musicians, songwriters and authors I've ever been friends with. You certainly did your bro right tonight. "What could be next, a hit record?" I think so FUNNY FELLA. For you, too! Big Matt

WHY was this the first time all Ramones drummers (Tommy, Richie & Marky) were under the same roof???

[GodKill123]

@theonlyharleyquinn I guess they never really met up.

[theonlyharleyquinn]

Great video. The speeches of Joey Ramone's brother Mickey Leigh and Richie Ramone were really great!

[andrewritter1]

In this day and age i am glad to see The Ramones receive this long overdue Grammy, great speech MIckey, hey you got the laugh, ha, ha

[TheLuee]

ramones best band ever....#1

[DestroyTVNYC]

Beautiful Speech by Mickey and Richie! Yay!!!!!

[GoodNoteDJ]

Surprised to see Richie rather than Tommy or Marky as the on-stage drummer. But whatever. I listened to the Ramones a lot in the 70s, and I'm still listening to them a lot four decades later. A great rock'n'roll band.

[calvin799]

Yah justin bieber sucks.. ramones rock !! 

[AndresAlmonacid35]

Lo más grande, The Ramones!

[ThePlatano16]

the ramones deserve all the respect in the world theyre the best punk rock band out there and if it wasnt for them a lot of bands would have never been influenced right now,, long live the ramones!!

[MrsButterflyTattoo]

According to a reliable source, CJ had shows in South America. That's why he wasn't there. I wish he woulda been there too.

[GuilleGoony]

@MrsButterflyTattoo CJ came to Paraguay and then went to Argentina at the time. He said in a radio interview in Paraguay that he didn't need an award to get recognition, that he has all the recognition he needs from Joey and Johnny.

[MrsButterflyTattoo]

@GuilleGoony Thanks for letting me know. I'll let my friend know.

[Hdpyou]

The most complete band of Rock and Roll ? THE RAMONES!!!

[WarmCuddles]

They should have given the Ramones the respect they deserved and airing more then the 3 seconds they were alotted on TV! Tommy should have been on stage for the acceptance and sorry bro, but the Ramones WERE on MTV back in the day!

[sinnvollproductions]

@WarmCuddles Tommy and Marky ware on stage for the acceptance. They're in a different video, it's online too.

[barnihemorragianasal]

mas ke merecido!vamos los ramones!

[RoboDope]

This was long overdue...

[sinnvollproductions]

Yeah, I miss CJ too. But great speeches here anyway

[BurningtunaDC]

Where's CJ?

[takeovermdp]

aguanten los RAMONES y ARGENTINA!!

[chacotevidz]

Richie Ramone rules!!!
