Matthew Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's unbelievable to me that now all the original Ramones are gone. Thanks for all the great music guys, you gave me great joy through the years with those first three albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 saw them once in the mid eighties , the audience was mindless and drunk. not a memorable (good) experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 All geared up to see them headline Reading Festival in 1979 and they cancelled (replaced by Nils Lofgren of all people). Never saw them live and the records faded pretty quickly from my attention but for a while they soundtracked some teenage angst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pusey Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I remember the first UK single, somthing about Sheena being a drunk docker if my memory serves me well, saw them at the Roundhouse supporting the Groovies,blink and they were gone, cartoon music, never felt the need to dig any deeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Talk about a band with band luck... even though Tommy did make it to 65, that's still pretty young. RIP to The Ramones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 They made a lot of people very happy - sure, I never really got that into them, but they were pretty major in bringing macabre, weird bubblegum pop to a few generations of energized and pissed-off kids. They did right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 When the first album came out, Sire ran a full-page ad in Rolling Stone quoting from reviews the album got. Most were positive, but one from a French paper was "Merde...je detest ce disque." The first album was classic; later ones were echoes of the first. I saw them at Brooklyn College around 1979, and was convinced that the "one-two-three-four" countdown before each song was independent of the beat the song actually started at. RIP.

Hardbopjazz Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Wow they're all gone now. I saw them in 78 at CBGBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
