I met Dee Dee Ramone and the Chinese Dragons at the Milk Bar in Jacksonville, FL, he was polite and he was just amazing to talk to. He was the reason I picked up the bass.
@@mondoshredder5783 The two of you are pieces of shit. The *Ramones* liked the show and wanted to be on the show. Johnny was like that to everybody and anybody. 174 dorks liked your comment.

Frank Atchison actually no, marky did an interview and debunked that theory. the song is actually about when joey was institutionalized, there was a black girl he was friends with who suddenly disappeared
Its funny bc he looks like howards stern, or the other way around, and they both have this same quick wit. Both tall, skinny, weird looking, smart asses. Pretty much the same person. Well except of course joey is dead and howard isnt.
Man, all of the discontent they had for the music business and mainstream music back then...if Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee could see how far it's sunken now.
And at least in this recorded example he's the only one to look directly in the eye of the interviewer when speaking to that person, with no fumbling around or disconnect.
absolutely. sure they're punks and dont take things too seriously. theyre sarcastic and joke a lot but they're overall polite. not like the ignorant drug fueled "fuck off" punk rock of the sex pistols.

What a wonderful interview. Johnny looked hella nervous, took him some time to not be so Serious-Johnny, haha. Joey used his comedy to make up for his self esteem; he seemed pretty comfortable - just wish that woman would stop trying to tease Joey by parting his hair or touching him; you can tell Joey really didn’t like that. Dee-dee...the intellect. What?? He only came in to say something when he felt like he needed to make a point for the band’s true credibility. None of the other members did that as well as Deedee. Marky was perfect. He’s not an Original Ramone, so he wisely chose to not say much-but he makes faces and pokes fun (the shaking shoe) throughout the whole interview. With Johnny trying to stop hai shakes, marky didn’t stop. That was their relationship-marky wasn’t going to bow to Serious Johnny. They were non-conformists, and never bowed to mediocrity. They didn’t need radio/tv to be successful either. A legendary band of artists. We need more artists like them today. It’s really sad where we’ve gone now. Wonderful footage, a gem of an interview. Thank you for uploading.
The thing I love about watching interviews with the Ramones, is that unlike Springsteen and Bono and Sting, they aren’t measuring out their words to give the impression that everything they say is the most profound thing anyone has ever heard. Springsteen lost me 15 years ago with his condescending pontificating.
When it comes to being "punk" everyone thinks that you have to cause trouble, break shit, spike and color your hair or "spread anarchy" but the ramones seem like they never really did anyone of that. They have a cool, calm, and collective manner. I like to call them "class punks." They go about their way and don't acknowledge anybody and to me, that is more punk than "spreading anarchy."
chilibro - see Joey's reply at the beginning; all the Ramones considered themselves to be stripped down, straight ahead prole rockers. My cousin once saw Johnny on the subway with his guitar in a paper shopping bag, on his way to a gig.

Who could blame Johnny for hating interviews when they're mostly conducted by dumb, condescending broads like this one?! And what's with all the treat-Joey-like-he's-a naughty-14-year-old nephew? Joey shows remarkable self control not to tell her where to go. This interview belies the common misconception that they were a dumb band. Dysfunctional, yes, but smart too, in their own unique way. Which is why we loved 'em then, love 'em now, and for always. Thanks, guys!
pretty much all the interviews back in the 80s and most of the 90s were like this, especially with similar bands.... stupid and not very substantive...
Great interview. Great band. Glad I was able to see them a dozen times in the 80s and early 90s. I feel for the kids who won't be able to experience this band live.
The Ramones are such decent people! I never really would've guessed without watching interviews of theirs. They are the magnified heart and soul of why anyone does music in the first place. Youcan have all sorts of agendas and aspirations and genres, but in the end its just good fun that gets you into it. I love the dynamic too. Johnny is the clear-thinking spokesman, DeeDee is quiet but insightful and intelligent when he pipes up, joey is the self-deprecating joker and marky is virtually mute!
I saw The Ramones in one of their last 10 shows in '96. I think it's funny here how Johny stops Marky's twitch. The Ramones were really cool in their story and how every member had their own personality and story. Of all the concerts I've ever seen in my life, theirs was the one I'm the most thankful for. Those guys are all dead and gone now, so I'm really glad I got to see 'em before it was all said and done. The Ramones rule!
J Mason Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone. It fucking sucks dude!!! I envy people who aren’t bothered by touching other people and door handles and what not...
KNBC news anchor, Kelly Lange was filling in for Tomorrow Show host, Tom Snyder. Say what you will about the quality of the interviews, the Tomorrow Show was the only network show in America to devote full-hour interviews to Punk Rock and New Wave bands - which they featured fairly often. This was before MTV caught on, and much of America was in the dark on the underground music scene in American and the UK. Beside The Ramones, some of Tom's guests were Elvis Costello, Kiss, The Clash, John Lydon & PiL, The Plasmatics, Paul Weller from The Jam, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett of The Runaways, and U2. Gotta give 'em kudos for that.
Thank--you for posting that . (So that I didn't have to) True historical context is almost completely lost with later generations , it seems . They don't seem to realize how things evolve culturally or politically . This aspect is potentially very dangerous . p.s. Back then , I was always very pleased that anyone , including the media was paying attention to what was going on and at least had the motivation to understand it . I think it gave us the sense that we were onto something and not being marginalized while still being on the margin . Do kids today appreciate what prior generations supported before it was popular so that it would be preserved and that they could have it as a gift ? I don't think that people today realize what groundbreakers really went through to evoke change. Early punks were frowned and spit upon . I haven't seen anything innovative or new for quite some time . I didn't wear a Zoot Suit in the 70's . But , look at these people now who think that they are Punks . Sorry , but they have the fashion , a bit of the sound BUT they aren't Punks because they dont have the attitude .
I got to see them live in '77 at the Liberty Hall in Texas. I remember my dad took me and my buddies to go see them, my dad was that hip. He still listens to the Ramones, I fell in love with a legendary band ever since.
So funny how this straight-laced bimbo who shall remain nameless (because no one knows who she is) went from disparaging comments to a near-motherly attitude toward Joey. Just goes to show, the most charming person is an honest and talented person in the face of unwarranted criticism.
ah... "radio is like TV, they just wanna push mediocrity on the people." probably the best thing Johnny said. and this was 1981... compare that to now... its laughable. do you remember rock n roll radio?
How can these guys all be gone? Too damn young to die! Rock is dead without bands like the Ramones! We need bands with guitars, amps, mics, and a kit, minus the samplers, loopers, and auto tune found in today’s crap.
of course he rolled his eyes. She's another one of those conservative interviewers who were all conservative and hung up on hair and eyes and wardrobe and how "wild" we and the music were. To the viewer, it's funny and that gets ratings, but i tend to feel sorry for the bands. They wanna talk about the music, not have to keep defending or answering questions about your personal style. The Ramones weren't trying to be weird. They were just themselves, and needed to be interviewed by someone who could ask intelligent questions. The Beatles were the first to really deal with this, and they did it with a sense of humor, and they played it up. But after that, it just was annoying. She was clueless, but sweet. It was pretty telling seeing how each guy dealt with it. The audience sounded like a bunch of giddy high school kids. Pretty cute.
In Mississippi, I've never heard a single Ramones song on F.M radio and I used to be an avid listener till I switched to Satellite. Literally not a single one though, not even Blitzkrieg Bop. I had to do my own research to discover this great band. - I'm livin' on a Chinese Rock, all my best things are in hawk.
I'm from Coimbra, a city in the center of Portugal, the country Americans say it's a province of Spain. There was this "Psycho-billy" band in the 80's, the "Tedio Boys". They went to play at Joey's birthday, he liked them so much he became their godfather, and they made a success in the US university radios.
Love Johnny's eye roll at 4:04. This band was too intelligent for the questions they were subjected to. The interviewer clearly knew very little about punk rock (claiming that the Sex Pistols and Clash had safety pins through their cheeks and such).
He was eye rolling about something Joey said too....which should tell you A LOT about his views on Joey, if you didn't already know. Johnny never understood Joey, and always felt he was crazy (see 'End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones'). They had a tumultuous relationship. It prob helped them write songs, but it must have made their lives hellish. They were so good yet could hardly stand each other. Sad.
Miska Arpa - You wouldn't remember that when punk started out, in 1970s UK, the economy really sucked, and the safety pins holding their (deliberately ripped/or cut) clothing was a statement. In the newspapers, editorial cartoons would show safety pins through their skin - or an arm or leg - to show their appreciation.
No, but their fans put safety pins in their ears and clothes...and spiked and Mohawked their hair pretty early on...1977 was just the starting off point...the punk bands formed a few years before...Like the "RAMONES" who formed in Queens,NYC in 1974...In England, the punk bands and fans, were quintessentially more politically and socially motivated, by what was going on around them...The socio-economic climate was abysmal at this point in the mid-seventies....
I saw comment from the kid in high school who "is the only one" listening to the ramones. Cool man,I first got into them when I was in high school(in the nineties) you have very good taste in music.
Man Dee Dee does not get the credit he is due. Best punk bass/song writer. Without Dee Dee there would have been no Ramones. He seems to be the only one a lot of times that gets it. Joey is a "goof" and Johnny's aloof and pissy particularly with interviewers who did not do their homework (No we're not brothers). Dee Dee on the other hands is like it is not about how we look, the punk is in the music. Kids are kids in NY and Detroit. There is no difference.
69zenos1 Without ALL of The Ramones there would never have been The Ramones. Each one added and subtracted at different times. But when they played....Gabba Gabba Hey!
69zenos1 Agreed he was the businessman, and in that respect, very important. But they are the sum of all the parts. All strong personalities that butted heads over time. Played together and were magic to the end.
John Householder +I'm a little late commenting on your post however, I agree! Dee Dee was/is the Ramones & for them to go and sing "Poison Heart" (HIS SONG) without him is a DISGRACE! I would have LOVED to hear it sung by DEE DEE instead.
Not true, Sky Flowers. They are SO NEW YORK (Joey was Jewish tho). New Yorkers have a great sense of humor, dry and sarcastic. If you want to see some great (funny) interviews by a NY band, ck out Type O Negative, from Brooklyn. They perfected the art of self-deprecating, sarcasm in interviews. I've never seen/heard a band be so funny before. YT has some great examples....ck it out.
@HitokiriBattosai76 Johnny held the band together, but he was overly strict and conservative. And he also married Joey's girlfriend, which is a dickish thing to do.
Every adult that was around when I played my Ramones records loved the Ramones. It was the melody and the lyrics. They should have got tons of airplay.
“There’s room for everybody....there’s no reason to shut out one kind of music.”
Joey has got to be the most polite rockstar, such a wholesome thing to say. RIP
Joey was as cool as Johnny was a cock .

Say what you will about the quality of the interviews, the Tomorrow Show was the only network show in America to devote full-hour interviews to Punk Rock and New Wave bands - which they featured fairly often. This was before MTV caught on, and much of America was in the dark on the underground music scene in American and the UK.
Beside The Ramones, some of Tom's guests were Elvis Costello, Kiss, The Clash, John Lydon & PiL, The Plasmatics, Paul Weller from The Jam, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett of The Runaways, and U2. Gotta give 'em kudos for that.
Thank--you for posting that . (So that I didn't have to)
True historical context is almost completely lost with later generations , it seems . They don't seem to realize how things evolve culturally or politically . This aspect is potentially very dangerous .
p.s. Back then , I was always very pleased that anyone , including the media was paying attention to what was going on and at least had the motivation to understand it . I think it gave us the sense that we were onto something and not being marginalized while still being on the margin .
Do kids today appreciate what prior generations supported before it was popular so that it would be preserved and that they could have it as a gift ?
I don't think that people today realize what groundbreakers really went through to evoke change.
Early punks were frowned and spit upon .
I haven't seen anything innovative or new for quite some time .
I didn't wear a Zoot Suit in the 70's . But , look at these people now who think that they are Punks . Sorry , but they have the fashion , a bit of the sound BUT they aren't Punks because they dont have the attitude .
The Bings I remember
I wish Tom Snyder would have done this interview instead
U2 ON SNYDER-CLASSIC! they never got better than this night.
I was lucky to see them twice in the same week back in 1988. This was when they were all still alive. Best week ever!!
joey has a great sense of humor.
I got to see them live in '77 at the Liberty Hall in Texas. I remember my dad took me and my buddies to go see them, my dad was that hip. He still listens to the Ramones, I fell in love with a legendary band ever since.
Joey is one of the best singers and frontmen
This group!!! I’m in the Midwest I’m considered Mexican the ramones saved my life thanks guys
So funny how this straight-laced bimbo who shall remain nameless (because no one knows who she is) went from disparaging comments to a near-motherly attitude toward Joey. Just goes to show, the most charming person is an honest and talented person in the face of unwarranted criticism.
Nick Danger : it’s Kelly Lange - try to stay positive
Johnny's eye roll at 4:07 is priceless
Greatest band in the history of humanity and let me say I saw them 4 times live, once on LSD at the actual CBGBs
I wish there could be a resurgence of musicians like this, such a great punk band
Their humor is the best! I wish I could’ve met these guys.
Every recorded word that ever came out of Dee Dee's mouth is a blessing. RIP Angel
Is it me? Or was it that the interviewer couldn't keep her hands off of Joey?He, he, Joey that stud. ;)
This is the the first interview I've seen of the Ramones.... I never realised how dry Joey's humour was! Every joke went straight over her head.
ah... "radio is like TV, they just wanna push mediocrity on the people." probably the best thing Johnny said. and this was 1981... compare that to now... its laughable. do you remember rock n roll radio?
pleasant dreams is my favorite RAMONES LP from the 1980s.
I love how you can hear the mics picking up the creaking leather.
I first saw the group on the Uncle Floyd show and became a fanatic ever since 1979.
How can these guys all be gone? Too damn young to die! Rock is dead without bands like the Ramones! We need bands with guitars, amps, mics, and a kit, minus the samplers, loopers, and auto tune found in today’s crap.
love me some Ramones! How could you not love em!
Johnny rolls his eyes at 4:04 for some reason...Must be the interviewer constantly asking Joey about his hair.
Yea, i think he is just fed up with the interviewers shit!
of course he rolled his eyes. She's another one of those conservative interviewers who were all conservative and hung up on hair and eyes and wardrobe and how "wild" we and the music were. To the viewer, it's funny and that gets ratings, but i tend to feel sorry for the bands. They wanna talk about the music, not have to keep defending or answering questions about your personal style. The Ramones weren't trying to be weird. They were just themselves, and needed to be interviewed by someone who could ask intelligent questions. The Beatles were the first to really deal with this, and they did it with a sense of humor, and they played it up. But after that, it just was annoying.
She was clueless, but sweet. It was pretty telling seeing how each guy dealt with it.
The audience sounded like a bunch of giddy high school kids. Pretty cute.
Marcus Olsson That eyeball roll was pretty funny.
How could he tolerate having his hair in his eyes though?
I love these guys so much. My favorite band of all times. The Ramones and the Beatles. Hands down. Changed everything. Hey Ho Lets go!
Most down to Earth band of all time.
Great inteview, best Ramone lineup!
Best From Late Night With Johnny P Show.
the funny thing is you never heard the Ramones on the radio in the 70's and you still don't
Nah here in Philly they play ramones on radio.
8Dgman John Peel played them often on his show in England back in the late 70s
They play them here in Alabama. Their music is also in at least one commercial every year, lol.
nosense58 yeah, and tha cuestion is why???
In Mississippi, I've never heard a single Ramones song on F.M radio and I used to be an avid listener till I switched to Satellite. Literally not a single one though, not even Blitzkrieg Bop. I had to do my own research to discover this great band. - I'm livin' on a Chinese Rock, all my best things are in hawk.
OMG...
how much I miss them, thay came to Argentina a lot of times and I miseed that shows.
Long live RAMONES.💪
Joey loved making that elevator joke. He’s the best 💕
I'm from Coimbra, a city in the center of Portugal, the country Americans say it's a province of Spain. There was this "Psycho-billy" band in the 80's, the "Tedio Boys". They went to play at Joey's birthday, he liked them so much he became their godfather, and they made a success in the US university radios.
Joey and Johnny are my heartthrobs ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So awesome..I could watch them 24/7 Thank you for posting this! Made my day!
Love Johnny's eye roll at 4:04. This band was too intelligent for the questions they were subjected to. The interviewer clearly knew very little about punk rock (claiming that the Sex Pistols and Clash had safety pins through their cheeks and such).
Well they had it through their ears didnt they?
He was eye rolling about something Joey said too....which should tell you A LOT about his views on Joey, if you didn't already know.
Johnny never understood Joey, and always felt he was crazy (see 'End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones'). They had a tumultuous relationship. It prob helped them write songs, but it must have made their lives hellish. They were so good yet could hardly stand each other. Sad.
Miska Arpa - You wouldn't remember that when punk started out, in 1970s UK, the economy really sucked, and the safety pins holding their (deliberately ripped/or cut) clothing was a statement. In the newspapers, editorial cartoons would show safety pins through their skin - or an arm or leg - to show their appreciation.
No, but their fans put safety pins in their ears and clothes...and spiked and Mohawked their hair pretty early on...1977 was just the starting off point...the punk bands formed a few years before...Like the "RAMONES" who formed in Queens,NYC in 1974...In England, the punk bands and fans, were quintessentially more politically and socially motivated, by what was going on around them...The socio-economic climate was abysmal at this point in the mid-seventies....
There had to have been a band that did that; I want to find their discography.
I saw comment from the kid in high school who "is the only one" listening to the ramones. Cool man,I first got into them when I was in high school(in the nineties) you have very good taste in music.
Sometimes, Joey's hair is what mine looks like when I get out of bed in the morning. No joke
same lol
Zoe Fry Then keep it that way,put on a leather jacket,put on jeans,put on some sunglasses,and BOOM a perfect Joey Ramone Halloween costume!
I've gotten my hair cut shorter, so I'm gonna be Dee Dee
Grew up with them and am honored.
Really the best band
OK thank you Daniel! The Ramones are my favorite American band of all time.
2:28 shows how lovely Dee Dee was. He really didn't want them to name anyone...like he felt bad. Such a sweetheart.
Ramones aunque nacieron en eeuu ,los sentimos que son argentinos !!!!los amamos y nunca nos vamos a olvidar de ustedes A!!!!!💪👏👏👏👋⚽
SUS VERDADEROS FANS ESTÁN EN ARGENTINA,LOS QUE LES DIERON LO QUE NUNCA SE LE DIO EN OTROS LADOS! ETERNA VIDA A LOS RAMONES!
ElSuperRookie "lo que nunca le dieron en otros lados" supongo que te referis a un estadio lleno no? jaja por siempre los ramones!
Pero que dices fumao
Saw these guys in 1980 in Lancaster UK. Fabulous gig.
Man Dee Dee does not get the credit he is due. Best punk bass/song writer. Without Dee Dee there would have been no Ramones. He seems to be the only one a lot of times that gets it. Joey is a "goof" and Johnny's aloof and pissy particularly with interviewers who did not do their homework (No we're not brothers). Dee Dee on the other hands is like it is not about how we look, the punk is in the music. Kids are kids in NY and Detroit. There is no difference.
You mean without TOMMY there would have never been the Ramones. Get your facts straight, dude ski.
69zenos1 Without ALL of The Ramones there would never have been The Ramones. Each one added and subtracted at different times. But when they played....Gabba Gabba Hey!
of course they had the right chemistry but Tommy was the brains and the energy to get them going.
69zenos1 Agreed he was the businessman, and in that respect, very important. But they are the sum of all the parts. All strong personalities that butted heads over time. Played together and were magic to the end.
John Householder +I'm a little late commenting on your post however, I agree! Dee Dee was/is the Ramones & for them to go and sing "Poison Heart" (HIS SONG) without him is a DISGRACE! I would have LOVED to hear it sung by DEE DEE instead.
Saw Marky Ramone Concert july, 5 2023 in Nürnberg, Germany. It was a great concert.
What a band
the ramones were freaking funny I loved when Joey said "we all met in the elevator and has the same last name"
Joey is very insightful about the music industry.
Excellent interview
"I was meanin' ta getta haircut.."
Ramones are such hotties tho:)
Dee Dee had killer cheekbones. Johnny smart & well spoken. Joey cool daddy-o. Marky awesome. Such a great band!
+Elaine Snow these guys are so jewish
+Sky Flowers Umm, no they aren't. Only Joey was Jewish. In fact Johnny Ramone was apparently slightly anti-Semitic. And he collected nazi memorabilia.
+Sky Flowers Joey is actually jewish
Not true, Sky Flowers.
They are SO NEW YORK (Joey was Jewish tho). New Yorkers have a great sense of humor, dry and sarcastic.
If you want to see some great (funny) interviews by a NY band, ck out Type O Negative, from Brooklyn. They perfected the art of self-deprecating, sarcasm in interviews. I've never seen/heard a band be so funny before.
YT has some great examples....ck it out.
Love them !!! Loved Joey sense of humor !!
I love this interview. So many funny parts. When the lady says Joey should cut her hair and Jonny rolls his eyes haha . So good .
@HitokiriBattosai76 Johnny held the band together, but he was overly strict and conservative. And he also married Joey's girlfriend, which is a dickish thing to do.
You gotta love these guys!
Is no one gonna mention how funny it was when Johnny corrects Marky in front of all those people when Marky kept on fidgeting with his foot
Every adult that was around when I played my Ramones records loved the Ramones.
It was the melody and the lyrics.
They should have got tons of airplay.
