1:27 "They....met us." Best response ever by Joey, answering that dim-witted host's comment about how The Ramones "met" The Pistols. Anyone who thinks Joey wasn't sharp just needs to see this.

[@anumpreto]

@Dion St. Michael Joey always answered kinda acid when the subject was the Pistols. See Conan interview and many others.

coolest band ever.

[@NoirL.A.]

in the late 70's in my pre teen years i discovered THE RAMONES, SEX PISTOLS and DEVO at all roughly the same time. it changed my life. id' say IGGY was probably the godfather of punk but THE RAMONES truly overall had the biggest influence on the genre. they never made a bad album. i also got to see them live in 1990 it was incredible. very grateful i got to see them before the 3 members died. i also think they had a huge influence on alot of non hair metal bands in the 80's (METALLICA, ANTHRAX, SLAYER, EXODUS, etc.). especially with JOHNNY's furious down picking style. very innovative for its time.

[@sabbracadabra8367]

"They met us" hahaha :) I love Joey!!!!!!!!

[@YesOkayButWhy]

Not many bands have "best of" compilations that are as legendary as Ramones Mania, but it truly has stood the test of time and is iconic. Great to see them promote it here. Like Type O Negative's "The Least Worst Of", it is legitimately essential and of interest because it too has some cool extra stuff and mixes (and cool artwork!). God bless two of New York's greatest bands... Type O Negative and Ramones.

[@YesOkayButWhy]

I also love how our Ramones were never afraid to take credit. They'll never know how loved they were (are) but they knew they were important to ("rock") music they were.

Dee Dee and his pathologycally lying punchlines is one of the most brilliant part of the Ramones in the interviews

[@opaljk4835]

MIADO ROUCO RECORDS he’s fucking hysterical

[@anumpreto]

@@opaljk4835 hysteria refers to a hypothetical neurotic and psychopathological condition. Considering that he having a pathological liar is a mere assumption of mine, given my own observations and knowledge in the Ramones' biography (and as far as I know he never publicly shown this diagnosis) so yes, technically your placement is more accurate.

[@opaljk4835]

MIADO ROUCO RECORDS I was just saying he was funny! Lol, sorry. I just think he’s a really really funny dude. He obviously had a lot of problems and darkness he was battling

[@anumpreto]

@@opaljk4835 He was indeed! And my comment had no irony, I really meant it! Calling him hysterical is more accurate, psychologically talking.

My Dad says to me "Brendan, can you not give a straight answer?" Dee Dee loved being silly for his own entertainment (just turns out, it entertained us too).

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Fun interview! Love the "weaselface" story (kickass song!) 1988 CBGB film? THink that project must have fallen through.

[@RockandrollNegro]

Yeah, Hilly Kristal sold the rights to the movie around that time, and all of the original bands were supposed to play themselves in the movie, then the studio went out of business. (I think it was with Hemdale.) So the project sat in development hell for 25 years until 2013. By then all of the original acts were either too old or too dead to play themselves.

[@artis1969]

And then they foisted some slop upon the world that probably left most ppl with a lesser image of the whole scene. Movies on music and scenes certainly aren't easy to pull off, but CBGB the movie may actually go down as visceral damage to the human race.

This is like the only interview where Joey talks!! No but he really doesn't talk much, it's adorable !

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

+Cara Cavota You must have watched a lot of early Ramones interviews! In the 70's, Johnny and Tommy tried to do all of the talking. They didn't like Joey and Dee Dee representing the band b/c they thought they fit into some negative stereotypes about the band. This was easy enough to enforce b/c Joey had shyness issues. But this is '88. Joey was a fairly big star, and had become a fairly confidant interview subject. He was way more chatty than Johnny or Marky in the second half of the band's career. It's not like he took orders from Johnny anymore, as the two really disliked each other by this point.

Aline Ramone I’m a diehard Ramones fan but the pistols were better. They were more punk and their only album was flawless. The Ramones were more influential because of their music and look but the pistols music was dope and they completely embodied the punk persona. Dee Dee was the only true punk.
