And she's absolutely right. The Ramones did started punk rock music in America not The Sex Pistols. As a matter of fact Iggy Pop and The Stooges started punk rock in America not The Sex Pistols not The Damned. Which is one of the reasons why I love The Ramones, Iggy Pop and The Stooges and I totally love The Damned.

@@Molotovjack The tape is VHS, it's not in perfect condition, so I was a little reluctant to upload it, but it's such a rare recording, what you see here is basically all that I have. Don't bother with a convertor if you are thinking of digitising videotapes, get a Pioneer standalone DVD recorder, Pioneers have a form of TBC, hook up to a VHS player, record at XP speed, 60mins per DVD, convertors are a pain in the butt.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Surprised Joey hated the Cure. Ramones and the Cure 2 of my all time absolute favorites, and some of Joey's tunes, the ones he wrote, have a melancholy that is slightly Cure-like... I'm thinking: "here today, gone tomorrow", "I can't get you outta my mind", "7-11", "bye bye baby", "she talks to rainbows", "slug", "life's a gas", etc. Definitely not the same musical textures, but can evoke a similar mood. And early cure numbers like "object" and "10:15 Saturday Night" were pretty damn punk!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a good comment

[@leahflower9924]

the cure and depeche mode always bothered me especially the Smiths...i liked echo and bunnymen and mary chain otherwise 70s punk was the best the less pretentious the better

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

@@leahflower9924 The Cure are different from those others you mentioned IMO. First of all, they go back to the original punk movement. Their early hit "jumping someone else's train" is about not following a trend someone else started, which explains why they don't sound like the punk bands. That said, if you like first wave punk, check out this early Cure song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWqxkomNfreHZqM

[@aurorajellycrissramones9466]

This was how it was done. If you had a band and you wanted to be known or go on tour you made a lot of phone calls. Same with anything: job, apartment, equipment, look for car parts. The yellow books were really important because if you went far out the yellow was your Google maps. You don't know until you ask. You had to plan where you were going to be, how to get there, how much, how to get your stuff their, where you were going to eat if you were able, hotels. That's what the labels were there for that's what they did. But when your starting this is what you have to do. This is also why The Ramones didn't live together, they needed the phone lines open they needed to make their own phone calls, and call the local radios for publicity "hey I'm coming to your town at this place and this time be there!!! :)". Oh and top of it all learn your instruments, practice, write songs, makes new songs, come up with a image.

I freaking hate it when some idiot says one band "ripped off" another! There is such a thing as being 'inspired by' another band or musician.

[@elduuude]

Yeah, that intro was not very good. Yes, the Ramones were first. Although, of course, they were inspired as well (by Rock'n'Roll, garage rock, girl groups etc). But, also, it's a very different style of punk than the Sex Pistols (or The Clash or even Oi! and such). The Sex Pistols were not a rip-off. It's not just about sound or clothes (even there it's not a copy), it's also about attitude and lyrics. The Pistols were very offensive towards the establishment, the royals, the system. That's not things the Ramones were concerned with. 'Inspired' is indeed the right word here. And, also, the Ramones were by far not the only influence on the Sex Pistols (neither on the other British punk bands). But hey, that was just some ignorant host. The video itself is quite interesting, seeing Joey :-)

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Who really knows for sure, and musical preferences are always subjective, but given the fact that this was 1991, I can kind of understand why it would be a knee-jerk reaction to say “I hate the Cure”. At that particular time the Cure had become so oversaturated in pop culture that it was almost impossible to escape them. I’m not saying that they “sucked” at the time, just saying that a lot of people were getting really burnt out on them (by the early 90’s). I know I certainly felt that way in ‘91, and ten years prior I had been heavily into them (17 Seconds, Faith era). So much so that I can easily claim them as one of my top 10 favorite bands. Still, there was a point in time when I got completely burnt out on them. I kind of quit listening to them for a while there. Almost an entire decade actually. Even now, I still mainly just listen to their early stuff. Nothing later than Disintegration.
