What a wonderful interview. Johnny looked hella nervous, took him some time to not be so Serious-Johnny, haha. Joey used his comedy to make up for his self esteem; he seemed pretty comfortable - just wish that woman would stop trying to tease Joey by parting his hair or touching him; you can tell Joey really didn’t like that. Dee-dee...the intellect. What?? He only came in to say something when he felt like he needed to make a point for the band’s true credibility. None of the other members did that as well as Deedee. Marky was perfect. He’s not an Original Ramone, so he wisely chose to not say much-but he makes faces and pokes fun (the shaking shoe) throughout the whole interview. With Johnny trying to stop hai shakes, marky didn’t stop. That was their relationship-marky wasn’t going to bow to Serious Johnny. They were non-conformists, and never bowed to mediocrity. They didn’t need radio/tv to be successful either. A legendary band of artists. We need more artists like them today. It’s really sad where we’ve gone now. Wonderful footage, a gem of an interview.

Joey is a "goof" and Johnny's aloof and pissy particularly with interviewers who did not do their homework (No we're not brothers). Dee Dee on the other hands is like it is not about how we look, the punk is in the music. Kids are kids in NY and Detroit. There is no difference.

[@omagine]

of course he rolled his eyes. She's another one of those conservative interviewers who were all conservative and hung up on hair and eyes and wardrobe and how "wild" we and the music were. To the viewer, it's funny and that gets ratings, but i tend to feel sorry for the bands. They wanna talk about the music, not have to keep defending or answering questions about your personal style. The Ramones weren't trying to be weird. They were just themselves, and needed to be interviewed by someone who could ask intelligent questions. The Beatles were the first to really deal with this, and they did it with a sense of humor, and they played it up. But after that, it just was annoying. She was clueless, but sweet. It was pretty telling seeing how each guy dealt with it. The audience sounded like a bunch of giddy high school kids. Pretty cute.

KNBC news anchor, Kelly Lange was filling in for Tomorrow Show host, Tom Snyder. Say what you will about the quality of the interviews, the Tomorrow Show was the only network show in America to devote full-hour interviews to Punk Rock and New Wave bands - which they featured fairly often. This was before MTV caught on, and much of America was in the dark on the underground music scene in American and the UK. Beside The Ramones, some of Tom's guests were Elvis Costello, Kiss, The Clash, John Lydon & PiL, The Plasmatics, Paul Weller from The Jam, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett of The Runaways, and U2. Gotta give 'em kudos for that.

[@evanwolf6618]

Thank--you for posting that . (So that I didn't have to) True historical context is almost completely lost with later generations , it seems . They don't seem to realize how things evolve culturally or politically . This aspect is potentially very dangerous . p.s. Back then , I was always very pleased that anyone , including the media was paying attention to what was going on and at least had the motivation to understand it . I think it gave us the sense that we were onto something and not being marginalized while still being on the margin . Do kids today appreciate what prior generations supported before it was popular so that it would be preserved and that they could have it as a gift ? I don't think that people today realize what groundbreakers really went through to evoke change. Early punks were frowned and spit upon . I haven't seen anything innovative or new for quite some time . I didn't wear a Zoot Suit in the 70's . But , look at these people now who think that they are Punks . Sorry , but they have the fashion , a bit of the sound BUT they aren't Punks because they dont have the attitude .

Blink-182 brought me here.

[@jessvolina6007]

So awesome..I could watch them 24/7 Thank you for posting this! Made my day!

[@nosense58]

the funny thing is you never heard the Ramones on the radio in the 70's and you still don't

[@8Dgman]

Nah here in Philly they play ramones on radio.

[@wilhelmw3455]

8Dgman John Peel played them often on his show in England back in the late 70s

[@atomicrae2097]

They play them here in Alabama. Their music is also in at least one commercial every year, lol.

[@rubengarcia8251]

nosense58 yeah, and tha cuestion is why???

[@Smooth0vibrations]

In Mississippi, I've never heard a single Ramones song on F.M radio and I used to be an avid listener till I switched to Satellite. Literally not a single one though, not even Blitzkrieg Bop. I had to do my own research to discover this great band. - I'm livin' on a Chinese Rock, all my best things are in hawk.

[@marnieesjolander1831]

You gotta love these guys!

[@sidlivesproductions2263]

Gabba Gabba Hey

[@johnnypotenza7466]

Great inteview, best Ramone lineup! Best From Late Night With Johnny P Show.

[@WinslowLeach1974]

Rare case on film of Joey and Johnny seemingly having a slight bit of camaraderie together. And Joey was very sharp here. "You know, we feel cheated that Tom ain't here" was the best line. Interviewer was a dunce.

[@JohnnyRamone1974]

They had it throughout their whole career and after. When Joey and Marky Ramone were fighting on the Howard Stern show, Joey would ask Johnny to back him up against Marky.

[@shubhamlele5395]

This interview just shows what kind of visionaries they were.

[@georgiethumbs2438]

Greatest band in the history of humanity and let me say I saw them 4 times live, once on LSD at the actual CBGBs

[@Lengsel7]

Meh, give the interviewer a break, she's clearly out of her element.

[@johnnybeasley3675]

@Fangalatic coming from the one who replied 2 years later?

[@LochNessy13]

She's an interviewer. Its part of her JOB DESCRIPTION to adapt.

[@slimtimslide]

@Fangalatic Anyone who uses the word 'retarded' is a moron, end of conversation, fuck off wanker.

[@slimtimslide]

I agree she is irritating and often wrong, but you are even worse- thus I repeat, fuck off. wanker.

[@bh8365]

@Fangalatic .Good reply.

[@joegates4051]

It would’ve been so much better with Tom Snyder

[@tarulogonzales9374]

Ramones aunque nacieron en eeuu ,los sentimos que son argentinos !!!!los amamos y nunca nos vamos a olvidar de ustedes A!!!!!💪👏👏👏👋⚽

[@talinecaetano3653]

Oh god, Joey was so cute *u*

[@heathharrison6983]

Joey is very insightful about the music industry.

[@joelawson33]

I saw The Ramones in one of their last 10 shows in '96. I think it's funny here how Johny stops Marky's twitch. The Ramones were really cool in their story and how every member had their own personality and story. Of all the concerts I've ever seen in my life, theirs was the one I'm the most thankful for. Those guys are all dead and gone now, so I'm really glad I got to see 'em before it was all said and done. The Ramones rule!

[@whatsmyname5202]

RIP I was born in the wrong time I missed the who and the Ramones and so many others

[@DaringNote62]

Johnny was complaining about the radio back then, if only he lived to be alive today he'd see it's getting worse by the year.

[@grabisoft]

i think if he was alive. and hear despacito playing every 2 minutes he would just kill himself

[@monmixer]

I have always respected this band. not my cup of tea but I like to watch their concerts in retrospect. I have never seen the Ramones live surprisingly. I have worked in the entertainment industry my entire adult life starting at 18 in 1976. In particular music and live production. I would have liked to seen them but it never happened.

[@marcmistermarc]

Condescending attitude from the interviewer typical of the era. The band look exhausted and understandably awkward but are very graceful, polite and engaging considering how they are being treated.

[@gleisonferres]

Marky-Ramone with the shaky foot 🎤🎵 huehuehuehue'BR

[@blaidddrwg5614]

johnny with the eyeroll..outstanding!!

[@mammooification2]

yeah he didn't look impressed. the interviewer made some crass remarks.

[@miskaarpa3248]

Love Johnny's eye roll at 4:04. This band was too intelligent for the questions they were subjected to. The interviewer clearly knew very little about punk rock (claiming that the Sex Pistols and Clash had safety pins through their cheeks and such).

[@outis439-A]

Well they had it through their ears didnt they?

[@arthurbishop3173]

He was eye rolling about something Joey said too....which should tell you A LOT about his views on Joey, if you didn't already know. Johnny never understood Joey, and always felt he was crazy (see 'End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones'). They had a tumultuous relationship. It prob helped them write songs, but it must have made their lives hellish. They were so good yet could hardly stand each other. Sad.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

Miska Arpa - You wouldn't remember that when punk started out, in 1970s UK, the economy really sucked, and the safety pins holding their (deliberately ripped/or cut) clothing was a statement. In the newspapers, editorial cartoons would show safety pins through their skin - or an arm or leg - to show their appreciation.

[@yournamehere1886]

No, but their fans put safety pins in their ears and clothes...and spiked and Mohawked their hair pretty early on...1977 was just the starting off point...the punk bands formed a few years before...Like the "RAMONES" who formed in Queens,NYC in 1974...In England, the punk bands and fans, were quintessentially more politically and socially motivated, by what was going on around them...The socio-economic climate was abysmal at this point in the mid-seventies....

[@destroyernoah]

There had to have been a band that did that; I want to find their discography.

[@loreespeedy7256]

2:27. Styx, Kansas, Foreigner....My mother doesn't even listen to that.

[@Mystixspiral]

Joey is literally the shy meme 👉🏾👈🏾

[@jsbyable]

Me encantaría que esta entrevista alguien la pudiera traducir al español \m/

[@paulonery8541]

E também pro português

[@fabianalizarraga4449]

Siii

[@lesward76]

5.54 the man is speaking the truth.. Even more important what they are saying to today's time. I'm floored. Just WoW. I really mean that.

[@ganktuh]

deedee looked like bruce lee

[@zephyrsteele1696]

True. He did kind of look like Bruce Lee. That's crazy

[@evanwolf6618]

Sometimes Bruce Lee would sit in for him .

[@MM-rr1kp]

bruce lee AND howard stern in the Ramones

[@Svgarcanna]

Joey loved making that elevator joke. He’s the best 💕

[@anaparada7548]

2:28 shows how lovely Dee Dee was. He really didn't want them to name anyone...like he felt bad. Such a sweetheart.

[@RavnerRavner]

pleasant dreams is my favorite RAMONES LP from the 1980s.

[@samyoung9079]

When she mentioned the sex pistols and the clash going further than them you can just tell that Johnny wants to flip shit.

[@neotheone2792]

so sad i dont born in this era im 20 yrs old so far from the truth they are my inspiration for today just be yourself and fight for your rights The Ramones are Legend to me Punk is not Dead until Today they are still alive not only in my head but everywhere who use to listen punk and be free spirit if i could born in late 40's it would be awesome to me in my whole life salute to Ramones they music is very Infuentinal in my life and usually i dont hear on radios and televisions about their life,songs,vision thats why i hate medias,radios,any kind of establishment fvck! long live ''PUNK ERA''

[@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

I love it when dee dee says mediocrisy.

[@danmaltby3271]
