    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.

    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.

    the same with some the Who shirt's I've seen. lol.

    and when you're trying to help these chicks out with saying something like, "you know, hey ho, let's go." they just freak out and give you the loser-finger.

    :rolleyes: lol.

    the only place I see Ramones CDs is our library!
    except for those shitty hit collections, they're everywhere!

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