@RamonesFreak566 Right. The MTV music videos are actually just a fashion show.

@RamonesFreak566 There is a reason they are in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

It's so interesting to see Johnny always looking at Tommy to tell them what they should do. Even if they should sit down on the bed or not it's all up to Tommy. I had heard that Tommy was in charge till he left and that's when Johnny took over and I always had trouble picturing that, but this video shows that Tommy really was in charge.

@TheLostIdea I suppose they were just famous enough to make the evening news. However this is probably the Timbers Inn which I'd put at maybe 2 and 1/2 stars. So this shows a slice of what life was like before they hit the big time.

@Bureyeanne - In the video Johnny says that they've been together for 3 1/2 years, so that would make this 1977 and Tommy left the band in 1978. They never hit the big time as much as they should have. They didn't usually stay in expensive places when they toured the US because a lot of times they were playing clubs and small places. The reason they were always touring was because their records didn't sell really well and Johnny wanted to make sure they would have money when it was all over.
