Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: mrlee on August 28, 2006, 05:48:55 AM why do people like them so much?
Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Steve McKagan on August 28, 2006, 05:49:45 AM Because they are unique.
Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: mrlee on August 28, 2006, 05:52:49 AM Because they are unique. they sounded like a typical punk band to me? Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Steve McKagan on August 28, 2006, 07:36:13 AM Because they are unique. they sounded like a typical punk band to me? Not to me... Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: mrlee on August 28, 2006, 08:30:39 AM Because they are unique. they sounded like a typical punk band to me? Not to me... but still, id still like to understand why they are more popular now than when they came out? Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Booker Floyd on August 28, 2006, 08:57:48 AM Because they are unique. they sounded like a typical punk band to me? :confused: There was no "typical punk band" when they helped create the genre. Theyre popular because their musics good, they were cool and theyve influenced countless bands. Hopefully youll give them another shot and come around...if not, oh well. Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Evolution on August 28, 2006, 09:51:07 AM I bought The Crysalis Years 3 CD boxset a while back, and I can't listen to it in one sitting. So many similar songs. That said some of my favourite songs were by them so they're great in small doses. Blitzkrieg Bop and Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World were warm up songs at my old band's jams for ages.
Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: R4tfink on August 28, 2006, 10:06:30 AM They fucking rule and their sound can be attributed to loads of Rock and Punk bands too this very day. Timeless excellence.
Long live The Ramones. Hey Ho, Lets Go! :smoking: Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Niko on August 28, 2006, 02:04:18 PM (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/Ramones_Bonzogoestobitburg12inchcover.jpg) what an awesome song, i choose 53rd & 3rd but really its too hard to pick only one Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Gunner80 on August 29, 2006, 12:05:47 AM An amazing american punk band. Favorite song is "I wanna be your boyfriend."
Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Steve McKagan on August 29, 2006, 05:57:20 AM Dee Dee Ramone was a rock god if you ask me. He had it all...
Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Shirell on August 29, 2006, 06:54:38 AM I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ramones.... Franz F**kin Ferdinand should remember that they should do something original and not rip the Ramones off.... it has been noticed >:(
Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Kujo on August 29, 2006, 07:00:28 AM but still, id still like to understand why they are more popular now than when they came out? Because their shirts are sold at Hot Topic. Thanks to that, there are a whole bunch of brand new longtime fans ::) My favorite song is "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Steve McKagan on August 30, 2006, 05:31:20 AM but still, id still like to understand why they are more popular now than when they came out? One reason is that the radio in USA didn't play their music. Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Niko on September 12, 2006, 05:37:45 PM but still, id still like to understand why they are more popular now than when they came out? Because their shirts are sold at Hot Topic. Thanks to that, there are a whole bunch of brand new longtime fans ::) My favorite song is "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" they were popular at the end =). just to give some info and dont let this thread die, the ramones in his last show in argentina sold out river plate stadium, the same one that GNR played in 92 and 93 Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Bad Cover Version on October 10, 2006, 10:27:12 PM I just watched 'The Story of The Ramones' DVD again yesterday, so I had to chime in.
They had their moments of greatness and their moments of shame, but they kept at it and they did it their way (albeit Johnny's way). I'm a fan of latter-era albums like Brain Drain and Mondo Bizarro, but the classic albums grandfathered entire musical genres like speed and thrash metal using the melodies of the 50's, so you have to give props. And it's good, plain fun. How many bands are truly fun anymore? Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: lennonisgod on October 11, 2006, 01:14:57 PM Because they are unique. they sounded like a typical punk band to me? "The Ramones are the first punk rock band. Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls came before them and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, such as the Sex Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre." From Allmusic.com and I couldn't agree more. Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Fspen on October 12, 2006, 11:03:53 PM Favorite songs?
Rockaway Beach Cretin Hop Blitzkrieg Bop Definitely the coolest band ever. Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Bad Cover Version on October 12, 2006, 11:13:49 PM It's Gonna Be OK
Commando Bonzo Goes To BitBurg Pet Cemetary : ok: Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Six Strings on October 13, 2006, 03:42:56 AM I like the Needles and Pins cover. This is my favorite punk band...maybe together with the Sex Pistols. Ramones are so fuckin' great. Aaah and I believe in Miricles is CLASSIC!

alb. - brain drain Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: Wheres Izzy on July 07, 2007, 09:00:54 PM My second favorite band ever. If anyone asks me my 5 favorite bands I have trouble rounding out the last 3 cause so many come to mind like Pantera, Alice In Chains, Bad Religion, Misfits. But the top two are a lock. I have already informed my girlfriend if I ever get her pregnant with a son his name will be Joseph Ramone Buckalew. The man had one of the greatest voices in the history of music. Dee Dee was like their Izzy Stradlin in the songwriting sense. I think there is only 1 MAYBE 2 bands EVER that could challenge starting off their careers with 4 albums as amazing as the first four Ramones albums. Zepplin did and then maybe you could say Aerosmith or Sabbath or Bad Religion but then go back and listen to RAMONES, LEAVE HOME, ROCKET TO RUSSIA, AND ROAD TO RUIN. I think your mind might be changed when you're done. I remember getting into The Ramones when I was about 10 and finding out they had just called it quits. I just instantly fell in love with the music tho. It lead me into a love of punk rock I still have. Theres alot of bands like NOFX and Pennywise I probably would never have given the time to listen to. I am not jaded to the fact that they did have some duds. Not everything that they put out was great and no album ever matched the 1st 4 but they were never bad and never got the recognition they deserved. Great summer time music too. I love when it first starts getting warmer out and you can roll down your windows and let something blast. Usually for me it's some ramones or appetite.

Title: Re: THE RAMONES thread Post by: CheapJon on April 15, 2010, 05:31:15 PM so, tonight I listened to Ramones (really listened) for the first time in years, and I was like "why did I ever stop listen to them, this is brilliant punk rock" bopping my head and just wished for summer to come.. went on to wikipedia to see when Joey died, and it appearantly was 9 years ago today, quite a coincidence
so rest in peace Joey and thanks for the music :) |
