The guitar sound alone was so much thicker and harder than the proto-punk acts that influenced them: MC5, Stooges, Dolls. I don't care what anyone says: the guitar sound that Johnny Ramone first put on tape is the true starting point of punk rock.

[@Punk93Metal]

Agree with you 100%

[@misterslats]

@@christianlewis6252 Fear??? Fear formed 3 bloody years AFTER the Ramones. Fear formed AFTER the Damned, the Dead Boys, The Clash, the Sex Pistols so how can Fear be the initial spark igniting punk rock? Also, you do realize that Lee Ving was a blues and country musician who started Fear as a SATIRE of punk rock right? Do you know what a satire is? He formed Fear to make fun of punk rock and cash in on it's popularity. And as long as he can make cash from it he's kept it going.

I’ve had a rough cassette of some of this since ‘75. I was a radio DJ and my then-GF went to hand out at the Sire Sudios for the weekend, to watch our friends, the Stanky Brown Band, recording their second Sire LP. They were in one studio and the Ramones were in the other down the hall. She came back Monday with a cassette she recorded of “the band down the hall, that all looked the same in leather biker jackets and torn jeans and they all had the same name.”

Completely agree on their conciseness. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend makes every other teenage boy in love song completely redundant by stripping out everything superfluous. It can't be topped. Another one I love is this bit in I Can't Be - 12:25 - literally told my life story in a handful of words!

[@richardarnold5279]

To some people complaining about the speed: Tommy has stated in the past that a lot of these tracks (most of them) were purposedly mixed/mastered half a key step down (which also slightly took down the tempo) cause they didn't think record companies would bite if the songs were too fast.

[@RaymondGinn1978]

I think you have it a little backwards. Tuning a half step down adds heaviness and also allows them to speed the tape slightly to sound tighter. Vocals have to be added later, otherwise they will sound artificially high pitched.

[@richardarnold5279]

​@@RaymondGinn1978 Apologies.... I just didn't explain it correctly. lol. I'm referring to the final tape. The band would've played in the same key and at the same tempo as they always did. But they sound slower (and in another key) cause the final tapes were slowed down. Example: 53rd and 3rd (a song played in open E), sounds here like it's in D#. Or Loudmouth (played in the fret of A), now sounds like it's played in the fret of G#. EDIT: Wait a second.... i think i'm wrong about the half-key. Listening closer now: the slowed down tape led inn many cases to the songs brought down an ENTIRE key. Here, 53rd and 3rd is D (instead of E) and Loudmouth is in G (instead of A). Etc etc. But yeah - point being, Tommy stated in the past; the demo was slowed down on purpose before they were mailed out to labels.

Ciertamente eran 'pop' y es una pena que la mayoría de la gente solo escuche un sonido monótono, aburrido y repetitivo.

Was it a tad bit higher pitched than here? People are complaining that it sounds slower than they remember. I figured they all listened to a bootleg cassette back in the day.
