SINCE I LOVE STEPHEN KING'S MOVIES I WOULD SAY MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE RAMONES WOULD HAVE TO BE PET SEMETARY FROM PARAMOUNT PICTURES GOOD THING I GOT THE CD, IF ONLY MATTEL WOULD MAKE RAMONES DOLLS (THE BLACK LABEL) NRFB NEVER REMOVE FROM BOX.
Went to highschool in the 70s, still listening to the Ramones whenever I'm driving anywhere. It's impossible to choose a favourite song, I love them all. R I P to THIS Fab Four.
@@FactsVerse Thank you so much for asking. Love to see videos on the Beatles, Yardbirds, Def Leppard, Queen, Gary Neuman, David Bowie, more on the Ramones!
I saw them live once in the early 90's. I had never listened to them before but I have to say, these boys blew the doors off the venue! High energy and passion.
Saw the great Ramones 17 times in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego over the years, knew them and hung out backstage a few times as well ✌️🤖🇺🇲🏖️
@@FactsVerse I also know all of the band X, as well as Billy Idol, John Lydon, Los Lobos, DOA, and Sublime... I live here in La Jolla..seen thousands of Gigs and Bands,of all kinds of bands backstage at the Belly Up Tavern, and elsewhere,in San Diego and LA over the years . Also know the Marley family... People need to get out more and meet people...get off the internet nowadays 🏖️✌️🤖..oh and Marky Ramone is still alive and touring, and still my Comrade
Tommy is my favorite band member, maybe because I'm hungarian. He gave the kick start to the band! I listen their live shows every day I go to work, and it gives me a kind of power to survive the day, and to survive the "hungarian reality"! Thanks for the video! Hey, ho! Let's go!
I love everything off their first album but my favorite song is Bonzo goes to Bitburg. Also any of their "mental health" songs: Teenage Lobotomy, Psychotherapy, Sedated, Shock Treatment -- great stuff 😍
I've been listening to The Ramones... since the days of 8 tracks. My friend freaked out on me when I stuck an 8 track in my trucks stereo back in '76? "You listen to punk music!!??!!?" Yep. I listen to all kinds of music! My wife of 46 years still likes them too. My same truck likes them too! If I ever need to get going... all I need is a Ramones song. My favorite song by them? Tough pick. Probably "Danny Says".
Once my counselor showed me the E chord during one of our sessions, when I was about 11-12yrs. old, I realized I could play along with many Ramones songs and eventually played in a couple bands. I always felt that the band died like a real family, one by one as though it was just time.
Tommy didn't produce Brain Drain, and Johnny wasn't known for his songwriting skills - the primary writers for the Ramones were Joey and Dee Dee. You should have done your homework on this one. Dee Dee was their bass player - not their guitar player.
The Ramones have been my favourite band since I was about 14. I was fortunate enough to see them live 3 times in the 90s & they absolutely blew me away. It may sound corny, but their music has got me through so many tough times & I don't know what I would have done without them. Fave song? Something to Believe In. It never fails to make me happy.
We're very happy to know that you're a fan of The Ramones! Also, thank you so much for sharing your favorite song. What other types of video would you like to see?
The Ramones were the pioneers of Punk Rock. And like many real pioneers, The Ramones opened up the way, but never got the true recognition that they deserved. Today, The Ramones are mostly known for their cult following,. just like rock bands Rush and the Grateful Dead.
Been a fan since 70s first time saw them was if my memory right was 78 Paramount theatre on Bay St SINY seen them about 25 more times throughout the years
Those guys were great. I saw them a few times in NYC and always a memorable show. 1-2-3-4 and they wouldn’t stop. I’ve visited Joey’s grave a few times here in NJ. I beat the same cancer he had. I sadly miss them as there will never be another band like the Ramones. They influenced so many other bands in every way possible.
Think Johnny said Tommy produced some of their stuff. Those stressful road trips with the other 3 dysfunctional AF Ramones nearly drove Tommy to a nervous breakdown! He had to quit the band to salvage his sanity.
Having seen them there was only one other band that produced such massive energy on stage.Motorhead. Thats what you paid for and thats what they gave you in return.
They were truly a band with great pop sensibilities. Their music was like Ronnie Spector with distorted guitars. My favorite song has to be "Daytime Dilemma." It really shows their great songwriting abilities.
Tommy was a legit studio engineer and had connections in the NY studio scene, probably why the Ramones were able to cut demos (Dick Charles Studios in February 1975, and 914 Studios in September 1975).
First Joey was doing really well with his treatment but he fell on the ice outside his NY apartment and broke his hip. Had to stop his treatments to have surgery. Being weak he couldn’t heal right and his cancer came back harder. Also he many health problems including metal health with OCD and some said schizophrenia at 14
He also was born with a teratoma which saw him need surgery just after being born, which contributed to his tendency to infections and poor blood circulation. As a child, his eyesight was poor due to acute myopia. His ill-tempered father once picked him up and threw him over a bed and into the wall. He was severely bullied throughout school, sometimes coming home with footprints on his chest. He suffered from severe OCD, which was a constant torment for him. While in his late teens, he checked himself into a psychiatric facility for evaluation. One of his doctors told Joey’s mother that Joey would never function in society, would need care his entire life, and that he’d likely end up a vegetable. It was suggested by a doctor that Joey was a paranoid schizophrenic. As an adult, his OCD was near-debilitating. He suffered from frequent infections, especially in his foot. His mental health was always precarious.
Tommy got the band started. With idea of managing only. Johnny turned down the idea for years because he had a job already. First delivery for dry cleaning company and then construction work. Joey was already in a band. Dee Dee was all in ready to go first. Johnny agreed to join and start the band after losing the construction job due to Affirmative Action policy.
Ramones music is unique and timeless and always happy energy ❤️ they were and are never out of style...... Never ! Hey ho Lets gooooooooo. Greetings everyone from the Netherlands ❤️🙏
Saw them with CJ Ramone on bass in 92. I was so happy to see them live. I love the Ramones and it’s hard to pick one favourite song. Hard enough to pick one favourite off every album. I’m 53 and I’m still watching Rock ‘n’ roll high school.
Ramones had it tough in the early years, the radio still barely plays them today. The only two songs you'll probably hear are Blitzkreig and Sedated, which is a shame because they have many great tracks.
Saw the Ramones in Milwaukee promoting their 3rd album Rocket to Russia. Tommy beat the crap out of his drums, while Johnny & DeDe jumped up & down the whole time the music was going , Joey rocked the mic & stand back & forth. The Runaways opened promo their 1st album. Both acts were great!!! My friends had opened for the Ramones in Madison while they were promoting their 1st album. June 23, 1977 El Tejon. They told me every band member was running around back stage with pizza & beer, except Joey. Every one offered the same to him, but he just slouched in a big overstuffed chair saying "No".
I love to watch their early live videos because it shows them as they were. In particular, "Live At Arturo's Loft" and "Live at the Rainbow". It makes me want to play guitar.
Loved the Ramones from the beginning! What an impact they left on the world! I realized this while grocery shopping and “I wanna be sedated “ was playing on the intercom! So that’s my favorite but so many others too. Thanks bros. You live on!!
My favorite concert of all time. They played a gig back in '87 in New Orleans while I was still only 16 in an awesome club called Tipitina's. I was so paranoid that I'd be carded and asked to leave, but when the guy came up to me all he asked for was my ticket. I proceeded to the bar and asked the girl for a Budweiser and she also didn't card me! About a half an hour later the lights dimmed, the dry ice plumes flowed and Joey thanked the Big Easy for hosting them and then came Dee Dee's trademark 1,2,3,4! Their set flew by faster than an SR-71 Blackbird! Saw them six times after that throughout the years. Rocket to Russia still sits as my #2 all time favorite album. Damn, I miss 'em!
@@FactsVerse Gosh! There are so many gems to choose from, but if I had to pick one it'd be "We're a Happy Family" with "Teenage Lobotomy" at a close second.
Teenage Lobotomy is my favorite Ramones song. I use to blast it at full volume through my Marantz in the dormitory at the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1978 especially during finals. They kept me sane and motivated.
Late 1990s, I saw 'The Ramainz,' featuring Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone, and Dee Dee's wife Barbara. It was my closest experience to seeing the Ramones Live. I even got to talk to Marky for a bit. Cool guy!
I Believe In Miracles is one of my favorites!! Thank you for sharing this awesome video RIP The Ramones 😇 the one reason I've know anything about the Ramones is because of Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. 😊💓🤘✌️
I saw the Ramones at the Apollo in Glasgow, UK in either 1977 or 1978. They were my favourite punk band although I think they should have called it a day after Road to Ruin.
I've been a RAMONES fan since I first played their self described album on my mothers barclay wooden stereo cabinet back in april of 78. the next day i threw away my other albums and used the as frisbees against our garages brick wall (glad to see you go). My favorite RAMONES song is, all of them! GABBA, GABBA, HEY!
First of all, there will never be another Ramones. Absolutely love that band. As far as what is my favorite song, way to tough to pick. Just put on any one of their albums and enjoy
I actually was fortunate to see& meet Dee Ramone in California at a Book store signing at a mall in Santa Monica, CA &got a selfie photo with him on 4/28/2002&died on 6/5/2002&never thought I would meet a Ramone which I never even diged their music &was a still able to meet a Ramone.R.I.P.Dee Dee&the rest of the original Ramones too,!Rock on Dee Dee 1"2"3 4"&Hall of Famers too!🤑🤠😇😷☠️💥💨🔥👀🤜🤛💪✌️🤘🤟🍸🥃🍾🥂🍻🍺🛫🛬🏟️💺🌐🗺️🛣️🛤️🧳🎲📸🎩🎤🥁🎸🎞️🎥📽️📼📼📻🎙️🎛️🎬🎫💰🔦💡🕯️🧻👖🧣🧤🧦🪒🪥👔👚🧢🎩👓🕶️💊💉🌡️🩺⛏️🗞️📰🚬🪦⚰️🛡️🗡️⚔️🇦🇺🇨🇱🇺🇸
We're a happy family, Judy is a headbanger, Sheena is a punk rocker, Questioningly, Havana affair, Bonzo goes to Bitzburg, I wanna be sedated, too many 2 pick just one: I love them all!
I love many of their songs. Lately its been "she belongs to me" with has an emo punch that puts me right in the mood. Creammy stuff is one more happy to enjoy. Theres several type of songs they do, which have their gems each. Enjoy the discohraphy in time order. Time bomb, rockaway beach, planet earth 1988.. I could be all day
@@flipflopdancer6728 Crummy was used more in the 80s. If you say someone was in a crummy mood, meant they were in a shitty mood. Or saying that song is crummy meant the song sucks.
If you ask me “what is the most unique band ever” I would say The Ramones since they had a sound that not a lot of people had at the time, a great stage presence, and overall made people like punk a lot. Their music is one of the reasons why I enjoy playing my guitar a lot
I was real lucky to see The Ramones in 77 in LA at the whiskey of go go Blondie opened. I wasn't sure what we would witness but it was so funny and great at the same time. When we were walking through the parking lot to the show. A long haired guy was running towards us yelling don't go in there it's the downfall of rock and roll. He reminded me of the guy at the end of attack of the body snatchers warning everybody about the pods
I seen the Ramones and the Damned do a double header at Brixton Academy in 1991 - I was really there to see the Damned however the Ramones were really good - all in all a very memorable night - I liked Sheena is a Punk Rocker and Judy is a Punk... All songs started with 1- 2 - 3 - 4
There used to be an amusement park in my hometown with a venue that they performed at back in the day. It's an empty lot now, but it's still interesting to think that I've stood at a spot where they and a stage they performed on once were.
Facts Verse would have a lot more credibility if the photo they used for the thumbnail of this video featured the four deceased members who are the subjects. The photo they used shows Marky and C.J., both of whom are alive and kicking.
I got to know Tommy in the NYC bluegrass scene. He had fallen in love with the mandolin. He and his wife came to my shows at the Parkside and they opened for us a few times. He was a really nice man!
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing this information about Tommy! We're very happy to learn that he is a nice man. Which Ramones song appealed to you the most?
Favourite song is : 'Bonzo Goes To Bitburg'. It was a masterful, and thoroughly wonderful, truly genius piece of Music Supervisor Work ,( and i never use the word 'Genius' liberally, or, easily, by the way,), by the person or persons who thought of this song, selected this song, and subsequently chose to actually use it ,to parallel the filmic scene showing a compilation of Music- Teaching scenarios, taught by Jack Black's Film Character, in the uplifting and fantastic Feature-Film called : 'School Of Rock'. I had not known that all of the members of 'The Ramones' had passed away, which is shocking as it is extremely sad. They will always be remembered, because their Music is the gift that keeps on giving, as it will be discovered and enjoyed by a never-ending series of generations of young people, not yet even born.
As a punk music enthusiast in my latter years,I can say that DEATH (the 1st unofficial punk band) The Cramps and the RAMONES are my favorite punk bands without a doubt.
I remember seeing their first album cover when I was only approximately four years old, in the early 70s. I, of course, assumed that they were all related! Rest in peace, boys!
I actually met Dee Dee Ramone at his book 📖 signing back in California on April 4th 2002 .He signed a Rock guitar magazine &I was even enough to take a selfie (photo)with him just two months before he found dead I believe from his girlfriend in Hollywood.Its sad&glad he's already in the hall of Fame with his other deceased members of the Ramones "'Punk Rockers for life&long live the Ramones!🤔😢😥😩🤓😎🤑🤠😷🎲📸🎚️🎧🎤🥁🎸🎞️🎥📼📺📻🎙️🎛️🎬🎫💰🕯️🧢👟👠👓💊💉🧬🌡️🚬🪦⚰️💣🏆👏🤟👍🤛✌️🙏🇨🇱🇺🇸
Saw them live twice, got my copy of " Too Tough To Die" signed by Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee the first time, worked a horror con years later, Marky was 4 tables down, talked briefly, nice guy, got the record signed, no Tommy or CJ though, still, it's a treasured piece of vinyl.
Those 4 put out the best 3 albums. Road to Ruin was excellent, too, with Marky on drums. After that , their music was very hit and miss. Glad to see you Go is probably my favorite Ramones song.
Glad to see you go is my favorite song too. Leave home has been one of my all time favorite albums. It's music perfection. I don't know how that album wasn't a huge hit.
Early April 2001 I was flying to Germany from the US. My sister gave me a cd called Romones Mania to listen to. I had never heard of them. Put the cd in my Sony disc man at the airport. WTF! Didn't like it. Tried a 2nd and a 3rd listen. Finally wow this is great!! Then 2 weeks later heard Joey had just passed away. I couldn't believe it. After that I got every album I could find on cd and those first 4 albums when I found them reissued years later on vinyl including of course Ramones Mania!! My favorite would be I Wanna Be Sedated. I Wanna Live. We Want the Airwaves. But there are just sooooo many choices. Plus they did alot of great covers like Needles and Pins, California Sun, and Surfer Bird to name a few. My favorite solo song by Joey is Don't Worry About Me. Sad these guys didn't get the radio play they deserved back then. There catalog speaks for itself!! Gabba Gabba Hey!! 🎸🎸🎸
I remember when I started listening to The Ramones I was 19 years of age after my father died of heart complications and I bought The Ramones Greatest Hits album which was released in 2006 and I remember that I just wanted something that wasn't Heavy Metal because even though I've been a fan of Metal for years it wasn't what I needed at the time but I also remember that I had already started enjoying the music of The Ramones before buying their Greatest Hits album because Rock And Roll High School is my all time favorite Ramones song
Johnny is not buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. He was cremated and his wife kept the ashes.There is a cenotaph monument to Johnny at the cemetery. RIP Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee ,Tommy...and Arturo.
I just wanna have something to do, We want the Airwaves, Beat on the brat, Chinese rock, Pinhead, Rockaway beach, Gimmie, gimmie shock treatment, Sheena is a punk rocker, Commando, so many great songs, impossible to nail down a favorite!

Love to see videos on the Beatles, Yardbirds, Def Leppard, Queen, Gary Neuman, David Bowie, more on the Ramones!
I'm jealous!!!
17 times????
I saw them in small clubs, and at large amphitheaters. To see the Ramones live gives you bragging rights for the rest of your life.
Well I saw them at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in 1978.
I envy you!
Idem..come vorrei averli visti dal vivo.
Then my brag is seeing the Ramones in 1980-81 at The Agora Ballroom in Houston, TX.
Unforgettable.
I saw them in Santa Cruz CA in front of 400 people
Those gentlemen are sadly missed.May their legacy and how they changed music always carry on.Pioneers and a darn great rock band.They rocked!!!!
Punk band. Not Rock. Get it right
Best live band ever!
@@joeminton105 they weren’t punk, they were American rock. They were only associated with punk because Sid vicious liked them.

I can't believe that you didn't mention the fact that Tommy worked as a recording engineer for people like Jimi Hendrix before he got into bands!
Yes, indeed. He was a sound engineer at Electric Ladyland Studios in the late sixties and early seventies before hooking up with the boys!
Think Johnny said Tommy produced some of their stuff. Those stressful road trips with the other 3 dysfunctional AF Ramones nearly drove Tommy to a nervous breakdown! He had to quit the band to salvage his sanity.
This video has more pics of Johnny smiling than I've ever seen in one place!
Seen them about 30 times my favorite band of all times

Little known fact, he also introduced people such as members of Blondie to the works of Aleister Crowley in the early-mid 70s
I had a hard break up when I was 18 The Ramones first album took care of all the hurt
First Joey was doing really well with his treatment but he fell on the ice outside his NY apartment and broke his hip. Had to stop his treatments to have surgery. Being weak he couldn’t heal right and his cancer came back harder. Also he many health problems including metal health with OCD and some said schizophrenia at 14
He also was born with a teratoma which saw him need surgery just after being born, which contributed to his tendency to infections and poor blood circulation.

It was suggested by a doctor that Joey was a paranoid schizophrenic. As an adult, his OCD was near-debilitating. He suffered from frequent infections, especially in his foot. His mental health was always precarious.
He slipped on the ice going back to his apartment because of his OCD
Tommy got the band started. With idea of managing only. Johnny turned down the idea for years because he had a job already. First delivery for dry cleaning company and then construction work. Joey was already in a band. Dee Dee was all in ready to go first.
Johnny agreed to join and start the band after losing the construction job due to Affirmative Action policy.

Getting Johnny fired was the best thing that happened to punk

At every of the many Ramones gigs we went, we were always waiting for COMMANDO and PINHEAD. That moments were always the boiling point. Unforgetable!

The Ramones had success in the UK for a while, during the Punk era. Never saw them live, but always liked their records.
@cricketbat09 You dont describe a true punk band as successful. You describe a true punk band as infamous.
I see quite a lot of people in the U.K. wearing Ramones shirts. They seem quite popular over here. The Ramones fans always seem very friendly.
Learned a lot about them. Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
I love to watch their early live videos because it shows them as they were.
In particular, "Live At Arturo's Loft" and "Live at the Rainbow". It makes me want to play guitar.
'GIMME GIMME SHOCK TREATMENT' is my favorite RAMONES tune.
Johnny Ramone did not receive much acclaim for his guitar performing. He received acclaim despite his rudimentary skills on the guitar.
Loved the Ramones from the beginning! What an impact they left on the world! I realized this while grocery shopping and “I wanna be sedated “ was playing on the intercom! So that’s my favorite but so many others too. Thanks bros. You live on!!
Glad to know that you're a fan of The Ramones, thank you for sharing. Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
My favorite concert of all time. They played a gig back in '87 in New Orleans while I was still only 16 in an awesome club called Tipitina's. I was so paranoid that I'd be carded and asked to leave, but when the guy came up to me all he asked for was my ticket. I proceeded to the bar and asked the girl for a Budweiser and she also didn't card me! About a half an hour later the lights dimmed, the dry ice plumes flowed and Joey thanked the Big Easy for hosting them and then came Dee Dee's trademark 1,2,3,4! Their set flew by faster than an SR-71 Blackbird! Saw them six times after that throughout the years. Rocket to Russia still sits as my #2 all time favorite album. Damn, I miss 'em!
Thank you for sharing your life story. We're happy to know that you got the chance to watch them live! What is your favorite song of the Ramones?
@@FactsVerse Gosh! There are so many gems to choose from, but if I had to pick one it'd be "We're a Happy Family" with "Teenage Lobotomy" at a close second.
they always did great live show
First saw the Ramones live in the mid-80s when I was only 11-12 years old. Saw them a number of times between then and their final tour in 96.
Whoa, we're happy to know that you had the chance to see them live! Thank you for sharing this. What song is your favorite?
O saw them the first time at the Whiskey a go go with a fake ID in 1978
Teenage Lobotomy is my favorite Ramones song. I use to blast it at full volume through my Marantz in the dormitory at the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1978 especially during finals. They kept me sane and motivated.
Thank you for sharing your favorite song of The Ramones and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Kkk took my baby away is my favorite song
i wanna be sedated- to this day (now in my 60's) still cant help but start dancing when I hear it
I love all the Ramones. Joey is my favorite. Probably cuz he was skinny & geeky-& that's how I was as a kid/,teenager.
We're happy to know that you love the Ramones! Also, thank you for sharing your favorite member. How about the song which appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerseSong would be questioningly
I think it was awesome how they would appear once in a while on The Uncle Floyd Show.
I never get tired of listening to Commando.
Us too! Thanks for sharing your favorite song of the Ramones! Which song comes in at second place?
Late 1990s, I saw 'The Ramainz,' featuring Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone, and Dee Dee's wife Barbara. It was my closest experience to seeing the Ramones Live. I even got to talk to Marky for a bit. Cool guy!
Ramones fan since 77! Thanks you!!!
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
I Believe In Miracles is one of my favorites!! Thank you for sharing this awesome video RIP The Ramones 😇 the one reason I've know anything about the Ramones is because of Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. 😊💓🤘✌️
Thank You So MUCH, Great memories of my high-school days and awesome music
Rockaway Beach is amazing . Great song by a great band .
I’ve heard of the Ramone’s and their music, but had no idea they died so young, almost one year after each other in succession.
I saw the Ramones at the Apollo in Glasgow, UK in either 1977 or 1978. They were my favourite punk band although I think they should have called it a day after Road to Ruin.
We're glad to know that you're a fan! Thanks for sharing. What other types of videos would you like to see?
I saw the Ramones first time at the Whiskey a go go in Hollywood 1978
I’m glad they didn’t. If they had I would’ve never got to see them. Also, I love Too Tough to Die.
"Beat On The Brat" would be up there for me
The Ramones! Yes! I'm so into them at the moment, great call, Facts Verse!
Long live The Ramones!
🤟🖤

Aw come on! Dee Dee played BASS!
I've been a RAMONES fan since I first played their self described album on my mothers barclay wooden stereo cabinet back in april of 78. the next day i threw away my other albums and used the as frisbees against our garages brick wall (glad to see you go). My favorite RAMONES song is, all of them! GABBA, GABBA, HEY!
First of all, there will never be another Ramones. Absolutely love that band. As far as what is my favorite song, way to tough to pick. Just put on any one of their albums and enjoy
BEAT ON THE BRAT is my favorite for now!
He was so cool regular guys not stuck up at all wish I could’ve seen them live
I actually was fortunate to see& meet Dee Ramone in California at a Book store signing at a mall in Santa Monica, CA &got a selfie photo with him on 4/28/2002&died on 6/5/2002&never thought I would meet a Ramone which I never even diged their music &was a still able to meet a Ramone.R.I.P.Dee Dee&the rest of the original Ramones too,!Rock on Dee Dee 1"2"3 4"&Hall of Famers too!🤑🤠😇😷☠️💥💨🔥👀🤜🤛💪✌️🤘🤟🍸🥃🍾🥂🍻🍺🛫🛬🏟️💺🌐🗺️🛣️🛤️🧳🎲📸🎩🎤🥁🎸🎞️🎥📽️📼📼📻🎙️🎛️🎬🎫💰🔦💡🕯️🧻👖🧣🧤🧦🪒🪥👔👚🧢🎩👓🕶️💊💉🌡️🩺⛏️🗞️📰🚬🪦⚰️🛡️🗡️⚔️🇦🇺🇨🇱🇺🇸
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What is your favorite Ramones song?
We're a happy family, Judy is a headbanger, Sheena is a punk rocker, Questioningly, Havana affair, Bonzo goes to Bitzburg, I wanna be sedated, too many 2 pick just one: I love them all!
The thumbnail shows only 2 original members. The other 2 are CJ (bass) and Markey (drums) and both are still very much alive.
I love many of their songs. Lately its been "she belongs to me" with has an emo punch that puts me right in the mood. Creammy stuff is one more happy to enjoy. Theres several type of songs they do, which have their gems each. Enjoy the discohraphy in time order. Time bomb, rockaway beach, planet earth 1988.. I could be all day
*Crummy Stuff*
@@thebrandolorian9037 oh sorry yep.. what does that mean instead? Sure is some joke?
@@flipflopdancer6728
Crummy was used more in the 80s. If you say someone was in a crummy mood, meant they were in a shitty mood. Or saying that song is crummy meant the song sucks.
Dee Dee was the bassist
"What's your favorite Ramones song?"
What isn't my favorite Ramones song?
R. I. P. JOEY RAMONE 15/4/2001
Never forgotten
Here in Brazil. They were rock stars. The United States only realized this after the band broke up.
They were rock gods in Argentina, too.
Cretin Hop, Blitzkrieg Bob, and Teenage Lobotomy are my top 3 Ramones songs
All of them...❤ RIP best band in the world...and the sole reason that I became a musician...all hail the mighty RAMONES 😢
If you ask me “what is the most unique band ever” I would say The Ramones since they had a sound that not a lot of people had at the time, a great stage presence, and overall made people like punk a lot. Their music is one of the reasons why I enjoy playing my guitar a lot
I was real lucky to see The Ramones in 77 in LA at the whiskey of go go Blondie opened. I wasn't sure what we would witness but it was so funny and great at the same time. When we were walking through the parking lot to the show. A long haired guy was running towards us yelling don't go in there it's the downfall of rock and roll. He reminded me of the guy at the end of attack of the body snatchers warning everybody about the pods
I seen the Ramones and the Damned do a double header at Brixton Academy in 1991 - I was really there to see the Damned however the Ramones were really good - all in all a very memorable night - I liked Sheena is a Punk Rocker and Judy is a Punk... All songs started with 1- 2 - 3 - 4
There used to be an amusement park in my hometown with a venue that they performed at back in the day. It's an empty lot now, but it's still interesting to think that I've stood at a spot where they and a stage they performed on once were.
Facts Verse would have a lot more credibility if the photo they used for the thumbnail of this video featured the four deceased members who are the subjects. The photo they used shows Marky and C.J., both of whom are alive and kicking.
I got to know Tommy in the NYC bluegrass scene. He had fallen in love with the mandolin. He and his wife came to my shows
at the Parkside and they opened for us a few times. He was a really nice man!
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing this information about Tommy! We're very happy to learn that he is a nice man. Which Ramones song appealed to you the most?
Favourite song is :
'Bonzo Goes To Bitburg'.
It was a masterful, and thoroughly wonderful,
truly genius piece of Music Supervisor Work ,( and i never use the word 'Genius' liberally, or, easily, by the way,), by the person or persons who thought of this song, selected this song, and subsequently chose to actually use it ,to parallel the filmic scene showing a compilation of Music-
Teaching scenarios, taught by Jack Black's Film Character, in the uplifting and fantastic Feature-Film called :
'School Of Rock'.
I had not known that all of the members of 'The Ramones' had passed away, which is
shocking as it is extremely sad.
They will always be remembered, because their Music is the gift that keeps on giving, as it will be discovered and enjoyed by a never-ending series of generations of young people, not yet even born.
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! Which song comes in at second place?
Bop til You Drop, always gets me in an upbeat mood. I saw them at the Cameo Theater on Miami Beach, in the late 1980's.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Best live show I ever seen
1986 Animal Boy tour Club Casino Hampton Beach New Hampshire.
No other band comes close.
Ramones Rock!!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
As a punk music enthusiast in my latter years,I can say that DEATH (the 1st unofficial punk band) The Cramps and the RAMONES are my favorite punk bands without a doubt.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I remember seeing their first album cover when I was only approximately four years old, in the early 70s.
I, of course, assumed that they were all related!
Rest in peace, boys!
without question one of the most passionate and original (if not very commercially successful) bands in music history.
I actually met Dee Dee Ramone at his book 📖 signing back in California on April 4th 2002 .He signed a Rock guitar magazine &I was even enough to take a selfie (photo)with him just two months before he found dead I believe from his girlfriend in Hollywood.Its sad&glad he's already in the hall of Fame with his other deceased members of the Ramones "'Punk Rockers for life&long live the Ramones!🤔😢😥😩🤓😎🤑🤠😷🎲📸🎚️🎧🎤🥁🎸🎞️🎥📼📺📻🎙️🎛️🎬🎫💰🕯️🧢👟👠👓💊💉🧬🌡️🚬🪦⚰️💣🏆👏🤟👍🤛✌️🙏🇨🇱🇺🇸
Interesting, thank you for sharing your life story. May Dee Dee and the others who passed away find peace 🙏
I've seen many bands., but the Ramones were my best memories live , I saw them live 3 times, my favourites are Commando and Pinhead.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! We're a big fan of Ramones too 🎶
Saw them live twice, got my copy of " Too Tough To Die" signed by Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee the first time, worked a horror con years later, Marky was 4 tables down, talked briefly, nice guy, got the record signed, no Tommy or CJ though, still, it's a treasured piece of vinyl.
"R-A-M-O-N-E-S! R-A-M-O-N-E-S! Ramones!!" -Lemmy
Lemmy knew what he was talking about!
Those 4 put out the best 3 albums. Road to Ruin was excellent, too, with Marky on drums. After that , their music was very hit and miss. Glad to see you Go is probably my favorite Ramones song.
Glad to see you go is my favorite song too. Leave home has been one of my all time favorite albums. It's music perfection. I don't know how that album wasn't a huge hit.
@@thebrandolorian9037 Yes, that whole album is amazing.
Early April 2001 I was flying to Germany from the US. My sister gave me a cd called Romones Mania to listen to. I had never heard of them. Put the cd in my Sony disc man at the airport. WTF! Didn't like it. Tried a 2nd and a 3rd listen. Finally wow this is great!! Then 2 weeks later heard Joey had just passed away. I couldn't believe it. After that I got every album I could find on cd and those first 4 albums when I found them reissued years later on vinyl including of course Ramones Mania!! My favorite would be I Wanna Be Sedated. I Wanna Live. We Want the Airwaves. But there are just sooooo many choices. Plus they did alot of great covers like Needles and Pins, California Sun, and Surfer Bird to name a few. My favorite solo song by Joey is Don't Worry About Me. Sad these guys didn't get the radio play they deserved back then. There catalog speaks for itself!! Gabba Gabba Hey!! 🎸🎸🎸
was only made into a demo but "Stares in this Town" is my fave track
I remember when I started listening to The Ramones I was 19 years of age after my father died of heart complications and I bought The Ramones Greatest Hits album which was released in 2006 and I remember that I just wanted something that wasn't Heavy Metal because even though I've been a fan of Metal for years it wasn't what I needed at the time but I also remember that I had already started enjoying the music of The Ramones before buying their Greatest Hits album because Rock And Roll High School is my all time favorite Ramones song
The most radio neglected tune. Rock and roll radio. Let's go
Johnny is not buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. He was cremated and his wife kept the ashes.There is a cenotaph monument to Johnny at the cemetery. RIP Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee ,Tommy...and Arturo.
I just wanna have something to do, We want the Airwaves, Beat on the brat, Chinese rock, Pinhead, Rockaway beach, Gimmie, gimmie shock treatment, Sheena is a punk rocker, Commando, so many great songs, impossible to nail down a favorite!
RAMONES, A MAIOR BANDA DA HISTÓRIA MUNDIAL!🇧🇷
