Motorhead and the Ramones are soooooooo iconic that they are the roots of thrash. The ORIGINALS. All punk bands OWE the Ramones, a huge debt of gratitude. They started the modern punk movement.

[@michaelr.4878]

Amazing video. You are a great speaker and a smart dude. As far as the Ramones go, I will confidently say that next to the Beatles, they are the most influential band in rock history. No exaggeration. Next to the Beatles (and maybe even more so), they are responsible for more youngsters picking up musical instruments. They proved that you didn't need to be a virtuoso in order to play in a band. They showed everyone that it was all about the songs. In my opinion, the two most important pieces of the Ramones puzzle were the songs and Johnny Ramone's guitar style. For nearly 50 years, countless players have been trying to recreate his style and sound, yet his playing is still easily identifiable. Based on what he did, you'd think that it would be easy to recreate. No, it isn't. The dude was a machine. Even more than the crazy level of endurance and great tone he presented was his absolutely perfect timing and consistency. The dude must have had an eternally running, internal metronome in his head. Every downstroke was perfectly in time. Like a lot of people like to refer to him, his consistency was truly like that of a machine gun. I could go on and on about how good that dude was. A lot of ppl say, 'well he didn't play many leads'. Well, he didn't have to. He didn't want to. He served the song. Just think about this....a ton of super crazy good, virtuoso level players declare Johnny as one of their biggest influences. .These guys regard him as a crazy good player, so he is! If Paul Gilbert says that Johnny was 'that' good, he was THAT good. In closing, just because they are one of my favorite bands, it doesn't mean that I think they are the best band of all time. I don't think you can really call a band, 'the best band of all time'. It is too subjective and there are too many variables. But as far as being influential, I'd say that they are the most influential bands of all time. The inspired and showed more people than any other band of what was possible. It just sucks that they didn't get to fully see the impact they made on musicians around the world with their music.

I will never understand why people complain about an artist's work being consistent. I totally understand if the work is genuinely lazy or uninspired, but if it's just a big block of music that sounds similar, with plenty of effort and merit in every song, then that's one of the best things ever to me. Especially when it's, as you pointed out, a big block that was all produced at roughly the same time. The ability to consistently create that much awesome music with such a distinct sound in such a short span of time is nothing short of admirable. Pfffffffhahahahahahaha, "Walking STD", oh man, those sleazy musician jokes never get tired. My personal favorite that I've ever seen is "Human Petri Dish." Runner up is "Soggy Cotton Swab".

[@michaelr.4878]

Based on everything I have read (and the sound of the album), the Phil Spector album (End of Century), was essentially a Joey Ramone solo album. Spector loved Joey. He had little interest in the band. He just wanted to work with Joey. Other than Joey, the band members bailed one by one on that project and it was mostly recorded by session musicians (which is obvious..just listen to it). Btw, this video is absolutely amazing. I salute you for taking the time and putting in the effort to craft such an amazing video. This is a fantastic tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. They (and especially Johnny) are responsible for more young people picking up instruments and starting bands. They proved that as long as the good quality songs are there, you don't have to be virtuosos in order to be a good band. One of, if not the most influential bands (second only to the Beatles) of all time, imo.

[@ltraina3353]

One thing I miss about LP’s is that moment you open it for the first time and feel that joy when you see the lyrics or some cool artwork or crazy manifesto as you drop the needle onto the vinyl for the very first time. I got to see the Ramones live in 1987 at fender’s ballroom, a couple feet from the stage, I’ll never forget hearing those rapid-fire drumsticks and how Joey grabbed the mic and took that iconic stance at the edge of the stage. My ears rang for an entire day, but it was worth it. When I was in college only a few years later, my heart broke when I got the news that Joey was dead. They truly changed my world, and that of countless bands who came after, who credited them as inspiration for their own music. Great video and a nice start to my day...thanks!

I completely agree with your point about Judas Priest's twin guitar attack being integral to heavy metal but I'd say the way Iron Maiden approached drums, both playing and recording, was equally important. They were the ones who discovered the odd fact that mixing your drums very loud also makes the guitars sound louder. Very important element of heavy metal production. Black Sabbath albums are, from a mixing/recording standpoint, rock albums from the ground up.

[@questionitall3053]

Spot on Razor, I'm from the UK, but the Ramones INVENTED punk rock. Deal with it fellow Brit's. That Sex Pistols album kicked fuckin ass though!

[@Flannelsurfer]

The thing I am most grateful for in my 40+ years of life is that the RAMONES were my first rock concert. I saw them opening for White Zombie in Lewiston, Maine in fall ‘95, and at 16 years old had no f’n idea at the time just how unbelievably lucky I was to be there. RAMONES will forever be the best rock and roll band ever in my book, and this is my favorite Metal Mythos episode naturally.

[@RodneyReviewsThings]

I'm glad I came across this video, I've been a Ramones fan for years and this was well done and enjoyable to watch. I've heard other people say this but maybe End Of The Century should have been Joey's first solo record. I think he's the one that enjoyed working with Phil the most. Or the only one who enjoyed working with Phil. Again, Great video!

[@SidMisfit]

I just wanna say Im glad the ramones were added to your rant videos this is awesome!!!

[@l2jnichol1986]

Developed a real appreciation for the Ramones. Got their self-titled debut, Leave Home, Rocket to Russia, Road to Ruin, Pleasant Dreams, Subterranean Jungle, Too Tough to Die, Halfway to Sanity, Brain Drain, Mondo Bizarro, Acid Eaters and ¡Adios Amigos! Looked everywhere for the album Animal Boy but all copies I've looked at are at stupid prices such as just over 200 quid! End of the Century though is easy to find.

Thank you Razorfist, the Ramons are my favorite band of all time.

[@ohhellyeehborther2686]

Yes great band, I love the Mifsits as well.

absolutely excellent retrospective, razor. you mentioned the tom waits cover and that really got me thinking that a tom waits mythos would be the best thing you've ever done. think about it, my dude. love you.

I like how I asked you on Twitter a couple months ago if you'd ever do Ramones and it turns out to be the next, no wonder I got no response :D

[@grandetaco4416]

Thanks for this video. I grew up during the era of the Ramones, and I was not a big metal or punk fan, but the Ramones are legend. I've always wanted to know more about them and just never took the time to read about them. You stated on your stream you had done this video and I had to see it. If I had to do it all over again I would be more into metal. Seems my tastes of changed dramatically over 50 years.

[@BookmarksAndHeadlock]

Ahh, the Ramones - the band that Green Day wouldn't know who to copy from and make millions of dollars off of. Great review Razorfist.

[@whoknowswhocares885]

I believe that would be difficult. Quorthon was very secretive and theres limited information about the guy and his production.

[@smolqnbg]

Not only that, but he loved to troll the press as well. I have personally read so many quorthon interviews over the years containing so many self-contradictions and denial that they sound more like several band member in a band were everyone hates each other(lol). Like when Nordland 2 was released he said in an interview that the next Bathory album will be a return to black metal and that he's already recorded most of the demos for it. I think that was a lie, but if it wasn't, i'd love to hear those demos if anyone has em'

[@dont_follow5777]

Discovering this review several years late. Thank you for this.

[@DiamorphineDeath]

End of the Century is a beautifully crafted pop album. That's where the Ramones always hit their perfect stride in my opinion, that joining of the almost kitsch like pop sensibilities in between their blistering punk outputs. Had to put any one album ahead of another for what amounted to a fucking killer career; even looking at the live footage of them playing "Warthog" later on and contrasting that with "Danny Says" off End of the Century is amazing considering the eclectic nature the band was able to operate within. Out of every band out there minus maybe The Stooges, this is the one I have the most admiration for in terms of sheer creativity and accomplishment.

[@giom8039]

Man this series are amazing source of information entretainment, and man journalism, comedy I'm watching all of the series My favorite so far Black Sabbath that was Amazon. This channel is good AF

[@Isle0fRed]

Please do Black Sabbath. I'm sure there would be a rant about Ozzy vs Dio amongst others

[@GreatCosmicWebs]

Anyone with braincells to carry a static charge would side with Dio on that, Ozzy was an insufferable cunt to Dio.

what a perfect ending. CJ ,the youngest, understood what his band stood for. they all had a long standing disrespect for 'pap'.when Johnny, on the tomorrow show said "STYX,KANSAS ,this is music for your parents". joey retorted "my mother doesn't even like those bands." y' know, while they didn't taste huge success, they are in the Hall of Fame. that, my friends is like a miracle.they had pounded stages for 30 yrs. by that time. some bands w/ million sellers don't get in.

[@derekwilliams1660]

Thanks for the profile of one of my favorite punk bands.

[@jeffsims8270]

37:57 - "Animal Boy" is currently my favorite RAMONES album! Aside from the over produced trax 'Bonzo Goes To Bitburg', 'Crummy Stuff' and 'Something to Believe In' (all of which I dig), it's their punkest album IMO!!! 'Love Kills', Freak Of Nature', 'Mental Hell', 'Apeman Hop', 'Hair Of The Dog' 'Somebody Put Something In My Drink' and the title track are undeniably some of the punkiest trax (punkiest prolly being 'Eat That Rat') they've ever made with an offbeat production quality to boot! The slow track 'She Belongs To Me' ain't bad either, style's just a bit dated maybe. Overall, I truly dig this record!! Don't rule this one out!
