What a great reaction and sum up! Thank you from a pre-teen '70s punk! The Ramones were sneered at and jeered by our parents, but we loved them anyway.
I miss the Ramones. They played music like they didn't care what people thought or liked. I guess you can say that about a lot of music but punk was the epitome of that.
Oh yeah! He was really good. My friends played a gig with him a few years ago. What do you think of Subterranean Jungle? I love it, since about 83 when I was 11. Also love the ones you listed. Pretty much all Ramones LP's but SJ was the first. Along with Talking Heads- Speaking In Tongues also in '83🤓👽🎸
@@mattjohn4731 if it's me you're asking I think there are a lot of goodies on that album too. There are always at least one or two good tracks on every Ramones album, but I love the ones Ritchie was on.
I wasn't the world's biggest Ramones fan, but songs like "Blitzkrieg Bop", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Sheena Was a Punk Rocker" were kind of ubiquitous during my high school years. Because of this, for nostalgic purposes, I find myself smiling when I hear them. Nothing wrong with like The Ramones. They were kind of like the answer to the corporate rock "problem" that so many saw as taking the individuality and uniqueness out of rock music. Were they actual punk? Who knows and who cares. They made some great three minute songs.
The Ramones were an original punk band from the CBGB's days in the Bowery in NYC. They were from Forest Hills, Queens NYC, and were surprisingly heavily influenced, according to the band members themselves, by The Beatles and Elvis Presley, just speeded up. Got to see them three times in their prime and it was always a fast, heavy, energetic show. They are also a major part of the movie "Rock and Roll High School", which is also the title of one of their songs. Along with: "Blitzkrieg Bop", "I'm A Teenage Lobotomy", "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker", "The KKK Took My Baby Away", "Pinhead", "Do Ya Wanna Dance", "We're A Happy Family", "California Sun", "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio?", "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Pet Semetary". Hey Ho Let's Go!
@@g.garcia7151 I have a great book on bubblegum music and the author clearly makes the connection between that genre and punk. A simple evolution, really, with the volume turned up and a little anger and rebellion mixed in.
@@g.garcia7151 you got it! "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth: The Dark History of Prepubescent Pop, from the Banana Splits to Britney Spears" by Kim Cooper.
@@g.garcia7151 you're welcome! Also check out an 18mn dissection of bubblegum music here on YT. I think it's called The Golden Age of Bubblegum Music and it's very well put together.
The Ramones, though good, were not the earliest punk band by a long shot. For an earlier and more representative sound of American Punk, I highly recommend listen to an early 70s band called The Dolls of New York, or also referred to as the New York Dolls. David Johannsen, the lead vocalist, really was an iconic punk figure, one who later had a major pop hit in the 80s in a re-invention of himself under the name Buster Poindexter. Also, a band called MC5 out of Detroit in the late 60s, were kind of pre-punk, and would be a good listen. I think you'd actually like both a lot more than you might expect.

@@medb8882on the 40th anniversary of WW2 ending, Ronald Reagan visited a German cemetery which had nazi’s buried there. It was a terrible look for the country and Reagan. This song is directly about that incident
I appreciate you because I never knew what tge lyrics were about. As a die hard musician and Ramones fan I appreciate your input and I was glad you explained that they are not all biologically connected. I've been trying to tell people that for decades
The much simpler arrangement heard on live performances of this song gives it a straightforward punk sound and I actually prefer them to the studio version. Yeah maybe the studio version with all the backing vocals and keyboards and layers of guitars make it an objectively musically superior version, but it lacks the aggression of live performances whick IMO convey the rage of the lyrics better.
Actually was originally Bonzo Goes to Bitburg and it was out on a 2 song EP. This was prior to the album Animal Boy being released. I think it was an import. Side 2 was day time dilemma. I remember because I owned it. Been a while since I listened to that version. Memory serves me right it the keyboard or dinging bell
Phil Specter produced this Yeah, I know. Ronnie Specter told us over thirty years ago what a pos he is. But it does have that "wall of sound" thing he was so famous for.
Phil Spector didn't Produce this album. He did produce the End of the Century album. If I remember correctly I believe Animal Boy was produced by Jean Beauvier of the Plasmatics.
This was surprising. Not a Ramones song anyone usually reacts to. Usually, it's I Want to be Sedated or Blitzkrieg Bop. Kudos
This is my favorite Ramones song. I loved the reaction, cause thats the same face that I put everytime I listen the song! RAMONES FOREVER
Oh hell yeah! This song is a total hidden gem.
I discovered this song when I was 7 years old watching School of Rock and I instantly fell in love with this band! This one is such a gem!

My favorite song of theirs.
Ritchie was the drummer here, the three albums he plays on are my favourite Ramones albums (Too Tough To Die, Animal Boy, Halfway To Sanity).

I saw them live on all three of those tours. They were great ones.
Totally agree dude ❤

We need this song NOW!
The Ramones took their name from the last name Paul McCartney used as an alias back in the day- Paul Ramone :)
So many catchy sounding songs to choose from...They were even faster Live. Saw them at the Hollywood Palladium & the US Festival.

Great reaction 👏👏👏
Great song great pop song great live band music sounds great live
This was a huge controversy, I was 15 when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday.
Hey, as a 25 yo raised on this music, what was the controversy if you could tell me?
@@medb8882It’s an anti-fascism song.
@@medb8882on the 40th anniversary of WW2 ending, Ronald Reagan visited a German cemetery which had nazi’s buried there. It was a terrible look for the country and Reagan. This song is directly about that incident
One of the Ramones greatest hits.
Howling at the Moon and Joey Ramones' cover of It's a Wonderful World are 2 more songs you could check out.
There's no law anymore. Gonna steal from the rich and give to the poor 🏴☠️🔪⚖️✊
This song is used in an ICONIC movie montage - School of Rock
That’s how I discovered the band when I was the ripe young age of 7 and I never looked back!
❤
I appreciate you because I never knew what tge lyrics were about. As a die hard musician and Ramones fan I appreciate your input and I was glad you explained that they are not all biologically connected. I've been trying to tell people that for decades
Also, this flavor of punk is really just 60’s girl group pop on speed and overdrive. Lots of fun music if you take the dive in.
Bonzo is a rip on Ronald Reagan
It was an insult for the President to lay flowers 💐 on German Soldiers graves at the time
He “visited” the Nazi’s but neglected to visit any concentration camp museums.

Didn’t have the dings and keyboard
Try rock and roll high school or blitzkrieg bop

No, he produced THIS SONG.
