CJ Ramone talks about auditioning for The Ramones - gearing up for auction

[@TeenageManiaMusic]

CJ never got enough recognition.

[@dankmansalley417]

Ayy bro I love your channel

[@TeenageManiaMusic]

@@dankmansalley417 thx man

[@tonym994]

hey, CJ, Johnny may not have told you, but Marines are on his AOK list.

[@Denis-pj6zg]

Saw CJ with the band Detroit - in small venue back in ‘91 - he totally fit in and was great. Sure, wish I could have seen DeeDee but the band is what it is at the time you see it and that was one great show.

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

I feel the same about Richie the more I learn about him and his situation.

[@natepadilla6326]

I met CJ one time. He's really down to earth, really cool dude.

[@chris_mic]

I have only ever seen the Ramones with CJ on bass. Never disappointed.

[@tonym994]

he played the RAMONES' last stand.

[@fredrikstadwhite]

Same here. I saw them seven times with CJ, always fantastic. My first time was his first show.

[@Fg1970s]

CJ sounds like a really nice guy,

[@RottingtotheCore]

Can’t stop looking at this interview, nice very nice.

[@macininomagico2951]

I just recently discovered the Ramones: I'm "kinda" young and I'm Italian and the guys were known here until the early nineties. But since I'm always in search of something that makes my heart pound, it was just a matter of time to fall in love with them after accidentally hearing about them (pay attention: I heard OF them... didn't HEARD them playing or talking and I even didn't see them at first). When I heard them it was LOVE. I just got so enamoured of the fist original set with Tommy, that I hardly ever accepted any other "newer" Ramones member. And, of course, I found Dee Dee just perferfect and irreplaceble. I still think so. But the same moment I saw C.J. on stage it was like a flash in my mind: the guy was not Dee Dee but he "felt like" Dee Dee and he was also someone with a strong personality of his own. When I got to listen to "Three Angels" and some interviews, I cried rivers: C.J. was SO SWEET and honestly in love with the Ramones... he was so naturally picking up Ramones' legacy. He was like a son, a nephew, a younger brother to them. Really a part of the family. He was (and IS) so wild, good-hearted, forever young and I'm sure he gave the band the big shake they needed after Dee Dee's quitting. Thank you for being a vibrant part of this adventure C.J!!!

[@anguswalsh2387]

[@joshd2597]

[@Lengsel7]

I've been to ONE show. .....One. .......I'm a fan. Always have been. Always will be.

[@Share-zv5uw]

[@ruthlessreid9172]

Great story!

[@vamboroolz1612]

“Hit it C.J.”

[@pompom7x728]

I LOVE HIM !!! 😱🎸🎼🤩🔥🌺😊🇨🇭🤟🏼

[@Three_Sevens]

I didn't realize he was in for seven years he should have been in the hof

[@erictausch6198]

Yeah that sucked. I wonder if Joey was alive would he have made sure CJ was there with them. It's not like there was any bad blood with CJ and DeeDee that I know of. To me it has the feel of a Johnny thing.

[@Bietel]

@@erictausch6198 Yes. Most things that raise eyebrows here and there turn out to be "a Johnny thing" somehow, I think. I read his book, Commando, and... in my opinion... let's say it's full of 'Johnny things'. Very insightful, in particular if you have also read the memoirs of Dee Dee (unreliable but very Dee Dee), Marky (pretty down to earth - relatively), and a book with the clever title "I slept with Joey Ramone" which is a punk rock family memoir by Joey's brother, Mickey Leigh. One of my bands opened for the Ramones once, I did not meet Johnny (who kept to himself, well fair enough) but Marky was videoing our soundcheck, CJ wasenthusiastically talking to everyone, and Joey was quite shy but a nice guy...

[@carromacumba]

Unbelievable!!!

[@Muppio]

Lucky person owning that bass amp now.

[@ianbarnett4511]

CJ RAMONE IS THE BEST. REALLY COOL 😎 GREAT GUY. BARNEY GLASGOW. 🤩

[@badbasstrilogy]

WHATs the instrumental off ? .....I remember a copy of The Ramones album on cassette: You could switch channels so you had just Bass and Drum or Vocal and Guitar ....By panning left/right..! wouldnt mind an instrumental collection-Any ideas?

[@felixdeschambault5648]

The first album was recorded like that

[@Palace-of-Madness]

"What We Gonna Do Now" Track 1 off the amazing debut album from CJ Ramone aka 2013 - Reconquista

[@pauljackson6296]

Go deh CJ!

[@hyperdog67]

Wow..

[@opaljk4835]

I remember reading (maybe it was On The Road With The Ramones) and in that he said he smoked a bag of angel dust before going to the audition lol

[@NBM3]

Good things !

[@docnasty74]

I thought CJ was in the brig at Pendleton.

[@redrubberfreekick]

Halo, Can i using some of your video clips for my video reproduction for education?

[@karlfarrartist]

Destiny

[@suggoz]

Who edied this vid? Clearly someone that dont know that the BACKGROUND music is to be played in the BACKGROUND!

[@elsolitario1741]

he looks really old whatever happened to his life...

[@jennimadden1061]

Nah! He's fine. He just grew a beard. He's ready to do what he's always wanted to do but was too busy touring!

[@jackaction7077]

Yeah he aged pretty fast😂😂😂

[@chris_mic]

Don't forget, Joey died almost 20 years ago and the Ramones last played in 1996. People get older.

[@Squiggles95]

CJ looks so different!!

[@AlmostReady504]

Did not recognize CJ
