I saw and met the Ramones in Philadelphia in 1977. They were four of the coolest guys I ever met. I was just disappointed that they didn't play this one.
Ah that classic David Bowie sound, you mean. Listen to Bowie's "Hang On To Yourself" from the Ziggy Stardust LP. I still love this tune, and it's my favorite Ramones song.
@@NachtSchreck13 ive always maintained that that bowie song was the first punk song however, other than the one instrumental part this song isnt similar to it
I ain't been a punk rocker in a long time. I'm a 90s kid but I fell in love with the Ramones. Took a while but I did it. When I got that two CD set I'd play them over and over. First recording I ever had of them was a recording of their live album on a tape made by a high school acquaintance.
One of the greatest songs ever done! A classic burst of Punk rock energy that doesn’t let up! The first time I heard it I thought WTF is this? I was shocked because of the relentless pace! Now I know this is greatness! Thanks Ramones! RIP Ramones
Love this., the way Joey sings it. Sounds like he’s down the hall , yelling back about something he’s afraid to do ., the switch from Daddy-O to ., Romeo-AHH ., like he’s stylishly buying time to maybe not go down there has me laughing through the whole song ., it’s freakin great :) We’ve all been spooked by basements :) RIP Joey., that perfectly odd guy that made that band world famous 👍
Hey, daddy-o I don't wanna go down to the basement There's somethin' down there I don't wanna go Hey, Romeo There's somethin' down there I don't wanna go down to the basement
Great song for Speed Freaks! If I play this in my car my foot is going to press the pedal to the metal and this songs relentless pace will make me go faster and faster! Until I crash!
The late Steve Albini (Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac and multi times producer) included this in his top 20 ( actually 27) all time favorite songs. Here's the playlist for anybody intrested: th-cam.com/play/PLNINWcxxj9hHJy_jbypnlYKcEnyO25GHa.html&si=PibFfJsgwoiiuoo8 RIP Big Steve (22.07.1962 - 07.05.2024)
I was around at the time he would pronounce it base menntttt.. like he used to sing teenage oh yeah yeah yeah.. early 90's.. what a band.. and we did not realize we were watching legends..
"I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement"; A) This song is about turning down the advances of the older gay men that cruised the area around CBGB’s (where young boypunx gather chickenhawx will descend)... OR B) This song shows the love that the Ramones had for B-horror films and were afraid of what's down there if they dared go?... C) A & B... As it was so shall it ever be...simply keeping it real with the truth...

The hairs on your arms have legs? 😀
That bassline is badass
The magic of Dee Dee!

It's catchy as fuck...this is my favorite Ramones song.

The first punk song I ever heard. April 1976 BBC Radio 1, Alan "Fluff" Freeman's Saturday Rock Show. My life changed from that point.

Thanks Ramones!
RIP Ramones
yeah, its about horror movies
Lol not insulting The Ramones, this song kicks ass but if u think this is fast then listen to Minor Threat
@@glenndanzigsemployeeplease7638 Ramones play faster than Minor Treath, around 270 bpm in the live shows
@@sensacionsombria5125 1977 Ramones It’s Alive. ‘Nuff Said.
The Ramones are like a blast in the face.
Goes excellent with bourbon

He was a bit confused with PIL.
I love listening to this on headset
IMO their most Ramones song
My favorite Ramones track to play bass. Great warm up jam. I blast this on the way home from work at least twice a week. The whole album is amazing.
I love,love,love The Ramones....and this track is one of my favourites!
One of their beauties. A Ramones classic
DeeDee in the left ear, Johnny in the right ear, Joey and Tommy in both
Os Ramones são eternos!!! Viva Ramones!!!!

Until I crash!
Nuff said
You'll be going down to the basement after the crash
@@adderon
In a Box maybe. I’d make a nice snack for the Creature living down there. Most Animals like Pork. 🤣😂
Riff kinda sounds like Hang Onto Yourself!
Epic song!
Essa música é algo extraordinário!
I love how Joey says basement.
He says base.
Com certeza uma das melhores músicas do Ramones
Ramones 👍🏼🫀

GREAT BAND LOVE JOEY
Feliz cumpleaños Joey Ramone donde quiera que estes!!

Somethin' down there.
I don’t wanna go down to the base
Me & my brother still call the basement the “base”
based
Yeah, the bass... it's all the way to the left, stay right, you'll be fine
We play this as the first song of our set
makes me think of the goosebumps books where they go to the basement, great chase music for that in my head
Maybe the best punk song ever made
Agree
Love it!
Classic man
Quién no se mueve escuchando esto! A mover el cuerpo y la cabeza che,aguante ese bajo :3

Top 10 punk rock World
This is really rough
Va re bien esto.
10 people went down to the base, tripped, hit their heads, and injured their cerebellums. lol
They might need a teenage lobotomy
@@DrLearyUSA I was going to say "THUS TEENAGE LABOTOMY WAS BORN" LOL
Prefrontal cortex
real deal.
Punk in its element
I can literally flashback to when I was a kid, running upstairs from my parents' basement lol
before something grabs your ankle lol
Binary rock ! 👍👍👍 🎸🎸🎸
Undeniable proof that rap isn't music 🤘🍺🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Rappers die every day the RAMONES never die
Funny that you say that because almost every member of the Ramones is dead
Chuck Berry. Little Richard. Howlin Wolf. Buddy Guy. The Isley Brothers. Jimi Hendrix. Billy Cobham. Thin Lizzy. Death.
I don't wanna go down to the bias
Just american rock and roll
I don't wanna go- down to base.
"I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement";
A) This song is about turning down the advances of the older gay men that cruised the area around CBGB’s (where young boypunx gather chickenhawx will descend)...
OR
B) This song shows the love that the Ramones had for B-horror films and were afraid of what's down there if they dared go?...
C) A & B...
As it was so shall it ever be...simply keeping it real with the truth...
My favorite song off the debut.
Somthn’ down there
😍
I don't wanna go...
this is the worst mix I ever heard in my life and it's great
Mono mix 2016 Remaster is Sexy
I just got down to the basemnt. So many neat spiders. No mosquitos. Cest la vie
The second part of the first riff sounds like hang on to yourself by david bowie
Sid Vicious play the bass brought me here.
daaaan to the baiiiiissmennn

Puta que pariu.
Os cara são muito massa mesmo.
