Awesome to see Daniel Rey in Guitar teaming up with CJ!!! Ramones for Life !!

[@frenchabortion]

CJ’s vocals are in perfect harmony. He’s the man.

[@tommeredith7462]

CJ really is a good Ramone. He sings with clarity, you can understand every word he’s singing. While the Ramones were still active, Joey was all too happy to let CJ sing all of the songs during warm up etc. Joey never held him back and didn’t feel threatened or insecure. It’s a little strange Marky Ramone doesn’t embrace CJ Ramone in any way. I don’t understand Marky’s reasoning, but they both have their own gigs where their respective bands perform the catalog of the Ramone classics. If I had to guess, Marky doesn’t want to share the limelight with CJ and it could be more lucrative for Marky not to be associated with CJ. Just speculating on my part,

[@TheDukeOfPannekoeken]

Marky acts like he invented punk rock

[@titanfox4881]

I'm so happy that C.J. has given us more years of Ramones music. Although he is no original member at all, he IS a Ramone. I love his solo albums.

[@steveshattah]

Marky doesn't like cj's politics.

[@lks_d_u_b_83]

And also, CJ had divorced in bad terms from Mark's niece and that's a big issue for the wig-drummer too

[@tonym994]

@@titanfox4881 damn right he is a RAMONE. not every CELTIC went in the Hall of Fame, but they all took pride in wearing the uniform.

[@stardumbspots]

Brant Bjork on drums is a bonus, but Daniel Rey is the cherry on the cake. In case you didn't know he wrote some of the best Ramones songs, including Poison Heart. Respect man!

[@mottosierra1372]

He wrote some songs but cant even sound close to Johnny poor daniel just playing 3 finger power chords but Johnny play all the strings

[@bossmann6358]

stardumbspots He co-wrote Poison Heart w/DeeDee

[@barnadeak2181]

@@mottosierra1372 yeah, being a good song writer doesn't mean he can play anywhere close to the Ramones style. Imho even the instrument (Les Paul) is not applicable for this. On the other hand you can say that it's the freedom of artistic expression - and it's true :)

[@couchslouch13]

didn't Daniel Rey play some lead guitar parts on Ramones albums too?

[@matthewgierula5674]

@@couchslouch13 He did, Daniel was the Ramones second guitarist in the studio and played most of the solos because Johnny didn't really care to do that on the later period albums.

[@BrentHood]

Honestly enjoyed this too much. Probably because I’ve listened to the Ramones since 2000 when I was 12 and knew I could never see them live. I know CJ only played with them for 7 years but knowing I could one day see him live playing these tunes makes me really happy.

Arturo was considered the 5th Ramone.

[@DeeckyRizzo]

@@pinheadjohnny5190 Well, Daniel has more importance, musically. To me Daniel is the 5th Ramone too. He co-wrote songs like Pet Sematary, or Poison Heart, also he played a lot of studio guitars (solos, riffs, acoustics) for The Ramones. And he played live with Joey and Dee Dee and co-wrote songs and played on their solo albums. Etc.

[@steventessier2145]

for real CJ did an amazing job filling dee dee's spot ,even tho the ramones songs arent too complicated on paper ,playing really fast with only downstrokes like they do ,takes alot of stamina and consistency ,i remember when i first started playing their songs on bass ,it was painful ,hurted my wrist a few times before ive found the right way to do it ,and even after took me a little while to be able to play that fast with only downstrokes ,takes alot of practice and discipline ,lot of respect for CJ and the guys \m/

Wow, I saw the Ramones when I was 16, I'm 42 now, I think it was the best show I'd ever been to. I didn't even know what these guys looked like.when Joey walked out, I was like omfg, what the funky is that. I'm my head I was not thinking that was the lead singer, they did something right because I love them anyway.

[@Didymus-vz6uy]

Great concert, just wish Daniel Rey had been able to play with downstrokes. Still very good though.

[@bossmann6358]

Didymus 1999 Not many guitarist can do that at that speed for that long. That’s why Johnny was the best ever.

[@Didymus-vz6uy]

@@bossmann6358 agreed. I can play for about an hour a day, but that's with up to a minute between songs at times as I search for another one to play.

[@michaelr.4878]

He mostly did use only downstrokes throughout the entire set. Sure, he 'cheated' a few times.... Probably because he was tired..or because he wanted a certain sound when trying to include parts from the albums...parts that Johnny didn't play live. In multiple interviews, CJ has said that he tries to include the extra guitars and vocal harmonies from the albums when playing some of the songs live. That is why he always uses 2 guitars players now...guitar players that can sing. Besides, if there is anyone on the planet that is qualified for this job, it is Daniel Rey. Great musician, super-fan and producer of the actual band. Frig, he bought Johnny's #1 Mosrite from him (along with other guitars).

[@Didymus-vz6uy]

@John T the whole point of the ramones was to be fast, loud, and simple. If you wanna go watch some primary Donna do a 2 minute long "look at me" solo in a 5 minute song, go listen to hair metal or some other music.

[@Nick992]

@@Didymus-vz6uy took me years to master the downstrokes but I can play for hours now without skipping notes or making mistakes. This is the hardest part, as the more fatigued you get, the more prone your wrist is to playing a "ghost" chord without actually hitting the strings, to let it recover. The key is to alternate between strumming positions and make use of each part of your arm for that, starting from fingers/thumb all the way to the triceps. This is why you see Johnny moving around so much, change stances and bring guitar up on impact chords. One of the best examples of straight up power downstroking is Marky from ZEKE, he does a good job of staying absolutely still and "recovering" unnoticeably.

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

Cj, ima come c u bub.

[@Bananekopp]

It's a pity that he plays almost nuthin' from his own superb albums.

[@symptomsofdecay]

Keep in mind that this gig is from 2009. Back then there were no CJ solo records, I think. "Reconquista", his first one, came out in 2012.

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

Man,

[@marcburger8458]

Fuck hell, he has an ampeg bass Amp, like dee dee

[@alexjuidici]

Is it just me, or does CJ Ramone and actor Dash Mihok look ridiculously alike 😳

[@tonym994]

this kid does it right! the RAMONES later in their career played the songs way too fast, losing some of their power in the process. this is closer to the SIRE records they started w/.gotta give that chainsaw guitar sound time, to saw your head off. rock on, CJ.

[@leahflower9924]

johnny liked to play fast i don't think he ever played slow everyone had to keep up with him

[@frenchabortion]

(23:15) Probably THE BEST live performance of “Swallow My Pride” EVER.

[@marcburger8458]

I think, he is the only one, specially with Rey on git, who is allowed to do this, cos he sang a lot sonx in his ramonesyears

[@jpodi]

Guitar dowenstrokes ??

[@melchizedekful]

This is so sad 🙁🙁

[@DadPlaysBass]

CJ came very late, but I'm glad he still playing for us. Although they gotta get rid of that guitarist. He is strumming the power chords wrongly. Has he ever seen johnny playing? Always for top to bottom!

[@matte8218]

He produced 3 of the Ramones albums, co-write many songs, played uncredited leads on albums, and did most the guitar work on Joey’s solo album.

[@JohnnyTheMechanic]

Good show, Daniel is a good guitarist but I think the songs loose a bit without the stronger all downstroke guitar ! But that doesn't stop me from enjoying the video :)
