I was listening to the Verona, Italy boot today from 9-16-06. Most of what Ed says between songs is his Italian translation of his speeches. Before Come Back he says something I can't translate about Johnny Ramone. He mentions Johnny 2-3 times which tells me that Come Back was written for/about him. Just wondering if anyone has this boot or can get it who speaks Italian and would be kind enough to give a loose translation. I know I'm asking a lot but I am very intrigued to hear what was said. Thanks a lot.

    My first language is Spanish so I'm sure a fellow Italian would be much more accurate, but basically this is what he says:

    "Two years ago on September 15th a man who was my friend and a legend died. His name was Johnny Ramone. I talked to his wife the other night and she asked me to salute the Ramones Italian fans. We play this song for Johnny."

    Hope it helps ;)

    I'm Italian, and I confirm the traslation above.. This version of come back is one of the best, Eddie sings it with real passion

    Thank you so much for this. I wish I spoke Italian because it is a very beautiful language to listen to. I guess maybe he didn't write Come Back about Johnny Ramone but was just dedicating it to him. See, this was a huge help. Peace.
