THE song that hooked me. Gotta be top 5?

On the Road was a fucking great book. I liked DeeDees book but On the Road was probably better. I'm just biased when it comes to DeeDee. Speaking DeeDee, I've got a little while before you talk about my favorite song which will be in the Ws. Lol. Monty was an underrated piece of the Ramones however

Great video, sir. Great Tribute. We might quibble about this later, but no "biker movies"? C'mon. And I recall my first Corman picture being "Five Guns West" (1955). Directorial debut. With the luscious Dorothy Malone and Johnathan Haze! So, he had a few Westerns. Quite an impact on cinema and what fun movies!

That was fascinating and very well done. Bravo, Tom!

That's fucking cool, Tom. I booked 27 Devils Joking when I worked at the Axiom in Houston when it first opened its doors. I only stayed for about a year, but we put on quite a few great shows back then. It was in 1988. I left Stark Raving Mad and returned to NYC. JR Delgado was the owner and force behind the Axiom. I met JR when SRM left NYC on tour and hung out in Houston during the winter before continuing the tour headed west. SRM was originally Pissed Youth! and I met them when they played a CBGB's hardcore matinee. The singer (Sponge) turned me onto a skinhead crash pad in the lower eastside because I was sleeping on the street. I was invited to join the band as the bass player when their guitar abandoned ship in mid-tour. I went to the Sin Club following the CBGB's gig where they were supposed to be playing with MDC and I found them sullen, moping and seething outside. I just hung around and they eventually invited me to the band. They decided to grow up and go from Pissed Youth to Stark Raving Mad. Anyway, JR and I hit it off when I arrived in Houston. He was Sam's (SRM's guitar) buddy. Basically, JR flew to NYC to invite me to join him in his effort to launch the club. I was working at a Restaurant in a trendy novelle cuisine restaurant in NOHO just blocks away from CBGB's. Punk rock Jane from Wisconsin and friend of a band called "Demo Moe" that hung out in the East Village turned me on to the job which was also blocks away from Lee Strasburg Acting Academy. Wild days! Crazy times! Rock on!!! It's a coincidence that I saw this today. I had just sent a text to my sister that lives in Red Rock, AZ that Santa Fe would be a cool place to move to. I'm fucking done with Florida! Lol

My thoughts about PJ Soles from seeing Rock & Roll High School and Stripes were certainly not PG. I was so glad that Bill Murray got there with a spatula. Thanks for expanding my knowledge and ideas about Corman. Time for a film fest!

Hey Tom, as someone who was there for the CD boom, I have to say that The Nice Price series was just a sales gimmick. The real budget series that CBS did at the time was the “Collector’s Choice” series - $9.99 at the time.

I was at this concert with Tiger. It was a badass concert and yes it was rowdy.

This is wonderful dude!! Make a biopic about that night!

I made Facebook friends with Sex Pistols US tour Manager Noel Monk before he died. He loved Sid very much. He told me before he died that they remained friends after the tour, and he was really sad about Sids death until the day Noel himself died. John didn't play anything. Sid was meant to be up front I believe. This gentleman account is badass! Thank you!!!!!!!

These are treasures! Thanks for sharing with us.!

One of the very greatest records of all time. Agree with you re New Day Rising.

Tom Trusnovic great job! I was late to the party on the Minutemen, not discovering them until taking a flier on What Makes a Man Start Fires? In the summer of 89 while staying at my grandparents house after graduation. It was shocking and so good but so damn challenging and my uncle Jim, who introduced me to rock n roll via BOC and Ted Nugent, absolutely fucking hated it.

👌🏻❤

What instrument(s) you play? I never stumbled into a cool scene til I moved to Denver in '01. There was a gnarly band Didjits in central IL but I didn't know back then

I like Sorry Guero, Pothole, Black Maria, Blue Heron. Also trying to check out more grind, crust and especially anarchist hc 💥🏴‍☠️

Hey from Albuquerque. Originally IL, then CO, then NM. Awesome history. Not familiar with Monkeyshines. What other NM or TX acts you recommend? I like Hi-Watts, Laughing Dog, Spectral Decay, Tenderizor and I recommend Longhair Records! 💥🤘

Excellant stuff pal. I had a ticket to see them in '94 in Dublin but of course that gig got canceled. This is realy intresting.

This is great Tom! Thanks for the shout outs! Dang, 35yrs...aye! 🖤🎵🖤🎶

Great memory to document.. thanks for doing that…

This story is quite a gem! Thank you for sharing..

Great video & background story!! 3:23 Did Nirvana sign your gig poster?

Wow dude this is so cool

wow cool stuff, how was your interaction with the band?

Awesome Tom! Yes we're getting older but in my mind I'm still 19, until I catch a reflection and then, F#@K!

Sweet! Yeah, LOL, I remember when Nirvana started playing many of us took a smoke break outside due to the volume -

awesome tom! great seeing the gig posters too. amazing vid!

so cool tom!

I always look forward to your videos Tom! Great stuff, I was 12 way back in '78! I remember Joe Anthony on KMAC/KISS here in San Antonio, would talk up Rush, Trapeze and so many more great bands of the time.

AMAZING! Thank you!!!

Tiger and I used to hang out with a couple other friends who are no longer with us. We went to some concerts together in the '70s. Namely Rush at Randy's Rodeo, Kiss and Queen in San Antonio to name a few. I would definitely be interested in seeing photos from these concerts in particular. Who knows, maybe he took a picture of me as a teenager. Don't have any. Anyway, we lost touch since I moved away. His dad was a colonel in the Air Force and he had an older brother that served in Vietnam. His older brother was one crazy guy. I think Vietnam helped in that.

"Baby" should be repeated sixty times before it becomes an issue!!!🤣🤘

The "easily the album's low point" jab at Traci's vocal stylings almost made me do a spit take. 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cool spin, Tom! Never would I have made these connections! Dig it. Since the Platters were mentioned I must admit "Smoke Gets in My Eyes" was ironically an early love of a tune that I would spin repeatedly when I first started spinning as a pre-teen. Forgot about "El Topo". Want to watch that again, now!

Fuckin crazy good shit!

Very interesting. I even learned something new.

Road To Ruin had the best production of any Ramones album. Joey's vocal is at its peak and Johnny's guitar on songs like "Bad Brain" are at their peak as well. Great songs. Blazing tempos. Great lyrics. The riffs, especially, never got better than this.

LOVE this song, but I had limited listens to it until later years - - except when I'd spot Attack of the Killer B's at a party or in a friend's collection - - as my version of Leave Home was blessed with Carbona (can't wait for your take on that one!). The middle 8 (really 16, right?) is fantastic and I love the way Joey lands on the word SPY on the welcoming bed of the background vocals. I love the variation of the melody accent on the line "my special one" in the first verse (?) and the last verse (but also feel the tension of it). Lastly, I guess, is how I always felt that the key change, instead of adding tension as is sometimes the case by stretching the singers vocal range, like in maybe a Who song or something similar, gives Babysitter more resolve and the raised key actually sounds like a more natural key for the song for Joey. At least to my ears. Another great job Tom

Sheer brilliance. I love this series. I think I like Road more than you do though Ha

Fucking awesome Tom! Big Boys fan for sure, all the way! Thanks and see you soon!

Quality material as always good sir. I find no fault with this tune, though agree it falls short of their best material. Cool to see all the 8 tracks and badges and shit in the video. I’ve been trying to collect more of their old pins, buttons & badges lately. Deep thoughts and good points in yer discussion. One of us!!!

These videos are excellent! Very well written, and an excellent overview of these classics. Please keep them up!

The ending is brilliant. Just an FYI: could it be debated that Bad Brains were the ones to get the scene-fracture started!?! Seemed they were to the punk scene, what Trump is to the GOP (lol). Their misogyny was on display when we (SRM) were in NYC, and they were spending time (maybe recording). Harley was hanging with them if memory serves me correctly.

It's not to late to be saved bi Jesus, brethren 😕🪴👍🙏

You do know that the Beatles performed and wrote circa 333 songs not just 213 ?! Check out the other tracks on the Anthologies , film recordings , Live At The BBC & Decca recordings as well as Goodbye on the Deluxe Abbey Road. Also they wrote many for others too ! 🤡

I heard Jeff say "careful, this aint Austin" keep this and other shows coming and let's make San Antonio the new weird! Thank you Tom, Dano, Patrice and of course Jeff!

God damn holy shit!! I was not familiar with this one and it’s EVERYTHING. This is why The Ramones are the greatest band ever. You cannot write a better pop ballad. It’s impossible. Unless you’re a Ramone.

in many ways this is my favourite Ramones song.. catchy tune, powerful production, and great lyrics... it has everything, and is relentlessly upbeat and life affirming, which is what really sets the Ramones apart from other punk bands.. beneath all the cynicism and anger and staring down the ugly things in the world, the Ramones are at the end of the day optimists... it took me years to get a copy, and my first copy was on a very warped copy of Do You Wanna Dance

Love Christopher Lee, his movies and music. Just a cool dude. Worthy of note is Paul's girlfriend Jane Asher featured in Masque of the Red Death and supposedly McCartney visited the set and met Vincent Price.. I think maybe Paul attended the premier too but not certain as the Beatles were very busy in 64.

I cant imagine trying to play a gig while people are throwing stuff at you. They band took it well
