I ain't been a punk rocker in a long time. I'm a 90s kid but I fell in love with the Ramones. Took a while but I did it. When I got that two CD set I'd play them over and over. First recording I ever had of them was a recording of their live album on a tape made by a high school acquaintance.
Ah that classic David Bowie sound, you mean. Listen to Bowie's "Hang On To Yourself" from the Ziggy Stardust LP. I still love this tune, and it's my favorite Ramones song.
@@NachtSchreck13 ive always maintained that that bowie song was the first punk song however, other than the one instrumental part this song isnt similar to it
One of the greatest songs ever done! A classic burst of Punk rock energy that doesn’t let up! The first time I heard it I thought WTF is this? I was shocked because of the relentless pace! Now I know this is greatness! Thanks Ramones! RIP Ramones
Love this., the way Joey sings it. Sounds like he’s down the hall , yelling back about something he’s afraid to do ., the switch from Daddy-O to ., Romeo-AHH ., like he’s stylishly buying time to maybe not go down there has me laughing through the whole song ., it’s freakin great :) We’ve all been spooked by basements :) RIP Joey., that perfectly odd guy that made that band world famous 👍
I saw and met the Ramones in Philadelphia in 1977. They were four of the coolest guys I ever met. I was just disappointed that they didn't play this one.
Hey, daddy-o I don't wanna go down to the basement There's somethin' down there I don't wanna go Hey, Romeo There's somethin' down there I don't wanna go down to the basement
Great song for Speed Freaks! If I play this in my car my foot is going to press the pedal to the metal and this songs relentless pace will make me go faster and faster! Until I crash!
I was around at the time he would pronounce it base menntttt.. like he used to sing teenage oh yeah yeah yeah.. early 90's.. what a band.. and we did not realize we were watching legends..
They were so good live and they mostly just stood there....sometimes joey would lean on top of the crowd, but i was enthralled. And I've been to some wild ass punk shows (Before MTV ruined it with 'grunge')
"I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement"; A) This song is about turning down the advances of the older gay men that cruised the area around CBGB’s (where young boypunx gather chickenhawx will descend)... OR B) This song shows the love that the Ramones had for B-horror films and were afraid of what's down there if they dared go?... C) A & B... As it was so shall it ever be...simply keeping it real with the truth...
Been listening to this for over 25 years. Still makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Such a great band.
just like me , yeah, The Ramones are the best.
The hairs on your arms have legs? 😀

Lol not insulting The Ramones, this song kicks ass but if u think this is fast then listen to Minor Threat
@@glenndanzigsemployeeplease7638 Ramones play faster than Minor Treath, around 270 bpm in the live shows
@@sensacionsombria5125 1977 Ramones It’s Alive. ‘Nuff Said.
im 68 years old..and playing this..greatness
65 this is major band for me
The first punk song I ever heard. April 1976 BBC Radio 1, Alan "Fluff" Freeman's Saturday Rock Show. My life changed from that point.
Saw them in 1978 in a club in Albany New York.
My first concert and always one of my favorites!!

My favorite Ramones track to play bass. Great warm up jam. I blast this on the way home from work at least twice a week. The whole album is amazing.
The Ramones are like a blast in the face.
Goes excellent with bourbon

Perfect time...😊
DeeDee in the left ear, Johnny in the right ear, Joey and Tommy in both
Maybe the best punk song ever made
Agree
That Beat and Guitar are Relentless! Killer Groove!
Com certeza uma das melhores músicas do Ramones
No one wants to go down to the basement.. But that is exactly where you need to go.
We play this as the first song of our set
Glorious
10 people went down to the base, tripped, hit their heads, and injured their cerebellums. lol
They might need a teenage lobotomy

Rappers die every day the RAMONES never die
Funny that you say that because almost every member of the Ramones is dead
Chuck Berry. Little Richard. Howlin Wolf. Buddy Guy. The Isley Brothers. Jimi Hendrix. Billy Cobham. Thin Lizzy. Death.

They were so good live and they mostly just stood there....sometimes joey would lean on top of the crowd, but i was enthralled.

OR
B) This song shows the love that the Ramones had for B-horror films and were afraid of what's down there if they dared go?...
C) A & B...
As it was so shall it ever be...simply keeping it real with the truth...
