The Ramones were an American rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens in 1974. They are often cited as the first punk rock group. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and the United Kingdom.

All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", though none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded. By a little more than eight years after the breakup, the band's three founding members - lead singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone - had died.

Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania. However, recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now cited in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the 50 Greatest Artists of All Time and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only The Beatles. On March 18, 2002, the Ramones - including the three founders and drummers Marky and Tommy Ramone - were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

"I Wanna Be Sedated" is one of the band's best known songs. It was originally released on their fourth album, Road to Ruin, in September 1978 and was the b-side of the UK single "She's the One" released on January 10, 1979. The song was later released as a single in the Netherlands in 1979, then in the U.S. in 1980 by RSO Records from the Times Square soundtrack album. (Wikipedia, July 2011)

Thanks for viewing and commenting - Ron

this guitar doesnt have that raw punk rock sound :/

[iamRottenRon]

@drapesmatchrug

You may be right. To my ear I thought this gear configuration was well suited for this genre, but that's the thing about tone, it can be quite subjective. Thanks for the feedback - Ron

man i love your guitar i have 2 , a les paul copy and a gibson les paul slash AFD , but i like yours, looks pretty cool

@MAUROSTUFF

Thanks for checking out the vid. The guitar I'm using on this one is a "Godin" and the model is "Detour". Godin is a Canadian company - the guitar parts are made in Canada and the guitar is assembled in the U.S. It's an entry level guitar and it seems perfectly suited to get that late seventies and early eighties new wave / punk sound - Ron

sounds perfect Ron!

@prowlman

Thanks man and good advice. I just purchased this guitar used a few months ago and the finish on it seems surprisingly resistant and durable. I also bought a hardshell case for it. Thanks for viewing and commenting - Ron

wow, nice playing but save the guitar and signature. They are both are worth a ton in sound and what your children will get later. Maybe play the crap out of it like you show but save the finish. Just saying from a 49 year old that has done it and wish it was original.
