    I'll have to work on it.

    it sounds really great! I love how all of the band members are so clearly different.
    I think one of the funniest things about them is that Joey "had to" become the singer cause Dee Dee couldn't play the bass and sing at the same time. :rolleyes: (if that of course is true though..)

    yeh thats true!
    theres a very funny comic in their latest boxset "Weird Tales of the Ramones" aboot the band line up changes haha..hilarious.
    yep..its amazing how the band members hated each other yet they toured for like 22 years together..amazing what they do for music.
    all thanks to Monte i would say..he kept the band alive despite the very difficult and different personalities especially after Johnny(the kkk) took Joey's baby away lol.

    yeah, Johnny was something, so I've read.
    no disrespect but didn't he slap the other guys (Joey once I think and Dee Dee more often) around?
    I would've loved to see them live! :D

    what they did and achieved is too much for me to write down, such an amazing band! :D:D:D:D

    love Johnny...but he was an asshole at times.
    he loved to pick on the roadies too and at times would tell the tour bus driver to bang down "niggers" though he was joking im sure...

    Dee Dee is my favorite..hes got such a huge personality!
    clips of him on the Ramones Raw dvd was abit sad though...clips of him being high in the morning n stuff.

    I know.

    what the Ramones did and what they lived with..
    it's amazing to think all that could happen to anyone in real life. it's a total life-bigger-than-a-movie -case, the Ramones..

    why is it gone?

    yep that was the cool thing aboot the Ramones.
    they never really did live a rock n roll lifestyle cept for Dee Dee.
    they were mostly touring or had no money to enjoy.
    it still amazes me to this day that such a huge,influencial band doesn't even a gold or platinum album to their name.

    Hall of Fame was an alright time..cos i think you gotta be in the business for 25 years to be illegible(i might be wrong)

    this is from Everett True's book Hey Ho Let's Go, The Story of the Ramones:
    "Then there was the choice of the person to give the keynote speech. Johnny wanted, and got, Eddie Vedder - but Pearl Jam's music has nothing in common with the Ramones. There were far better candidates for the job. More famous ones, even - if that's what mattered. Even Bono would've been preferable: Vedder made reference to Mohawks in his speech, when it was common knowledge that the Ramones never sported a Mohawk haircut in their entire career."

    :eek:

    hmm. never heard anything like that.

    I don't have a Ramones-shirt. (I don't also have a PJ shirt. :( ) :D
    they might.. lol. :D

    one of my friends is a fan of Rammstein and just a few days ago she said that she also likes the Ramones.. but she said she was disappointed that the original Sheena Is a Punk Rocker had slower tempo than the version made by some German punksomething band. :D

    haha..gotta agree with some of that.
    but i thought it was cool Eddie made the speech...just to proof you don't have to make punk music to appreciate it..Ramones music was for everyone.

    yup. it's a really cool speech, Eddie's good with the words. :)

    but mr. True really got me wondering if he's ever read/heard the speech..

    most likely.

    why are nowadays like this?
    no appreciation for the Ramones.
    ass kissing writers.
    too cold in the winter.
    teenage chicks wearing Ramones t-shirts and when you ask them for their favourite song they go: favourite song of who?

    :rolleyes:

    oh and please note I'm really.. generalizing.

    and yeah, I'd buy whatever crossed my path too. :D
