Who fkin care's..there's plenty of video/audio..thru teeShirts..doco's..Thats straight Ramone's..plus they will always keep showing up..thru;'Doco's like 'GIMME DANGER/&-'DANNY SAY'S..EtAl..'facts'!!-like state of the fart'..

[@myke113]

Joey Ramone started out on drums...! Dee Dee was the original vocalist!

[@vmcampos]

Correct and correct!

[@abelaraujo6186]

Only The Ramones can do such great song's for life!

[@vmcampos]

I know! 40 years later, I'm still listening! 400 years later I'll still be listening! 😆

[@rutaamela802]

I think their first line up was Dee Dee on vocals and bass, Johnny on guitar and Joey on drums.

[@vmcampos]

Whatever the lineup: it rocked! 🤘

[@greymajickjedi]

Fact 102: People always call them "The Ramones" Despite the fact the albums list the band name as "Ramones" Why no mention that "Elvis Ramone (most consider him to NOT be an official member) was the drummer for Blondie? And why quote a few songs but not their Simpson's appearance? "We'd just like to say THIS GIG SUCKS!" "Yeah! Up yours, Springfield!" Another fact: Every time a listener of The Dungeon on wlvr announces a birthday, Shecky plays the Ramones "Happy Birthday" song which concludes with C. Jay saying: "Go to hell, you old bastard". There were also two episodes where Simpson's characters said: "Gabba Gabba Hey". One was that awesome one where Homer tripped balls by eating all those hot peppers and started hallucinating. That one also had Johnny Cash as the spirit guide space coyote. No mention of Ramones being one of Stephen King's two favorite bands (The other is Ac/Dc) And him not only getting them to be on the movie soundtrack, But he also used Ramones lyrics and song titles as dialogue in the movie script? Great band. Fun video. Deserves a sequel.

[@greymajickjedi]

Additional facts: How many Ramones songs had medical themes? ("Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment", Teenage Labotomy", "Phsycho Therapy", etc.) "Every Time I Eat Vegetables I Think Of You" is about a quadriplegic. "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg" is based on a true story! When President Reagan visited a German cemetery with infamous Nazi officers buried there. "Pinhead" was inspired by the 1931 Tod Browning movie "Freaks" (original Dracula director) In 1996 Diana Fenstermacher and Nancy Schroeder did a fanzine called Notes From The Apiary which had oodles of Ramones articles, references and pictures. i saw them in Stars on their ¡Adios Amigos! tour (i spent a lot of that time making out with Marissa Eggert. Yeah, i was the guy in the tux with tails) C. Jay had numerous tattoos, was featured in tattoo magazines and after Ramones split up, he started a band called Los Gusanos (The Worms or The Maggots) On motörhead's album 1916 there is a tribute song to Ramones with awesome Lemmy lyrics like: "Black leather Knee-hole pants Can't play no High school dance". Green Day would sell their soul to Satan to be 1/1,000,000,000th as relevant as Ramones. Billy Joe has sucked Satan's cock so many times for fifteen more minutes of fake fame, he has been hospitalized for scaly pecker throat injuries. (They claimed he was in rehab) God, i fucking miss these guys. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lengsel7]

The Ramones is correct.

[@vmcampos]

If you're a fan, you're correct! 😁

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

no band had more attitude or more passion. They really deserved more success than they got.

[@vmcampos]

So true!! At least Nirvana and other '90s Grunge bands were promoting them. I'm sure many '90s kids learned of the Ramones from Nirvana and the like. What's your fave Ramones track??

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

@@vmcampos well let's be honest, many of the Ramones songs sound similar. But "I Just Want To Have Something To Do" always stood out a little bit to me and has always been my favorite.

[@scazermazz]

I feel like Mr Rodgers is doing the narrative

[@vmcampos]

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood of Queens.

[@scazermazz]

I like the way you say that

[@Felipe_Ramone]

The last song released by the band wasn't "Born to Die in Berlin". They recorded 3 songs after "Adios Amigos" and released officialy: "California Sun" (re-recorded for "Music of Our Mother Ocean" album), "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." and "Any Way You Want It" for "Greatest Hits Live" (1996). Those were studio releases.

I need to add "Any Way You Want It" as fact #102!

[@eugeneeasthon5906]

He also forgot Durango 95

[@vmcampos]

I'm not sure why I missed it the first time. Obviously, I have all songs memorized, but I think this job ate my brain and I forgot one! 😁

[@trouttrout3553]

Fact number 101 is totally true!

[@vmcampos]

You know it!

[@drooljr]

This video is awesome. Ramones are my life, and great job using "Born To Die In Berlin" for finishing the video. I found that really cool

[@vmcampos]

Thank you! I had their first album song at the beginning, and their last album song at the end. Glad you picked up on it!

[@nedleymeyers4389]

Dee Dee was 49 when he died. He was born in 1952, not 1951 as widely reported. I knew him and actually saw his birth certificate. I was a part time roadie/set up schmuck with the Ramones in early 80s.

[@vmcampos]

Interesting. On deedeeramone.com/about.html it states September 18, 1951...

[@tinahutton4032]

His book and his ex wife's book both say 1952, which seems correct. His grave marker has 1951.

This is the 2nd video I saw about the Ramones, after 2 years it’s still my favorite band

[@vmcampos]

Welcome to the Ramones Family! What's your favorite album and song? 😁

[@Musicube.]

vmcampos Song: Teenage Lobotomy Album: Rocket to Russia

[@vmcampos]

Excellent responses. I love Jonny's guitar on Rocket to Russia.

[@superstarquins]

According to Marky Ramone’s book, DeeDee would take 4 or 5 baths or showers a day. I guess he was a clean freak. You should read that book, quite a lot of interesting random facts.

[@vmcampos]

I've been meaning to pick up each of their biographies. Great stuff, I bet. Thanks for the reminder!

[@sdh8286]

Clement Bozewski may have only lasted a couple of gigs - slightly better known as Clem Burke lol

[@electricleg207]

He did one tour ,but could`nt hack it ,not able to maintain the tempo .Johnny was not amused.

[@anguswalsh2387]

Also Tommy Ramone died on July 11th 2014.

[@jennimadden1061]

Johnny and CJ's birthdays; isn't it cool they have the same one! I'm thinking CJ would have loved that fact when he joined the band and throughout his work with Johnny.

[@vmcampos]

I know, right? It must have been amazing to welcomed into the best punk band in the world!

[@AStri-zg5xc]

Even cooler to me - oct 8th was my dad's birthday. He was 25 the day Johnny was born 🙂

[@jennimadden1061]

Thanks for this!

[@vmcampos]

You're welcome! Happy to share a video with fellow Ramones fans!

[@catjudo1]

Russia was a part of the Soviet Union rather than a separate country as it is today when Rocket To Russia was released. Just a technicality.

[@vmcampos]

Thanks for the info!

[@anguswalsh2387]

Marky Ramone was born on July 15th 1952 not 1956. He's 66 that would make him 62. Just correcting you.

[@vmcampos]

No worries. Hmm, I wonder how I made that mistake! Anyway, what's your favorite Ramones song and/or album? Hard to choose, I know!

[@anguswalsh2387]

Ramones album, properly Rocket To Russia (1977) just better catchy songs. I have all 14 studio albums. Even some live alums and compilations! HEY HO LETS GO GABB GABBA HEY!

[@vmcampos]

Great choice! So much energy in that album, for sure. I have all the albums, too, so it really helped in making my video. What other Ramones related video would you like me to create?

[@anguswalsh2387]

Do the live albums, compilations. Show your entire collection.

[@vmcampos]

Alright, I'll look through my collection and see what I can do. 👍

[@petercrowley41]

The last RAMONES shows could have been at CBGB if Hilly hadn't insisted on collecting the 'Hilly Tax' from ticket sales.

[@vmcampos]

I didn't know that! Could you explain more?

[@petercrowley41]

@@vmcampos When planning their farewell tour, the Ramones offered to play their NYC show(s) at CBGB. They asked fo 100% of the door. Hilly offered less. They went elsewhere.

[@anthonymartino2425]

vmcampos thank you so much

[@dambaek.]

Great video, but Fact No.3 is incorrect, DeeDee was the original vocalist and Joey was on Drums, with friend Richie Stern on bass; -- Tommy only joined "only a few rehearsals" as they quickly realised their original lineup did not hold up, but they had already started calling themselves Ramones at this point.

[@vmcampos]

I think we're both right: They weren't The Ramones that signed on to the Sire Records, no, but they were a version of The Ramones, yes. 👍

[@randysine752]

G.O.A.T

[@vmcampos]

I know right. Did you know there was a song called R.A.M.O.N.E.S.?

[@rpk7330]

Joey, jhonny and dee dee died in days that finish in 5. If im not wrong joey and jhonny died in 15th day and dee dee on a 5th day. Weird
