at this point i would say, ramones, the punks, death and jack ruby and maybe the bratts, were some bands that were doing "punk rock" and some noise, even som hc by 1974
Listen to "Blitzkrieg '77" if you can... (I belive the same show was released on some of the later re-masters.) To the point... When the played it... the second album wasent out yet... so the played alot of songs that wasen't out there yet. Pretty cool... soo... the original recordings of some songs are actually live...

Horace Chit Seriously what the fuck is your problem? This dude never said a word to you, and you just throw him on the grill like that? You sir are a parasite.
“I Can’t Be” is like surfing and being sucked into, fighting with a giant wave of electricity, slamming wall of snapping liquorice lace electrical cables. I’ve never heard anything quite so summative of the forces of rock ’n’ roll in the U.S.A. So sounding of New York. The next few tracks pummel and break your heart
ahhh I just love finding ramones clips I never seen! This video is like rediscovering the band all over again. What an incredible set of demo's. "I can't be" is my favorite of the list. If only there was video of them playing that song hehe i bet they were having so much fun! 12:22
The Ramones, hoping to aid the securing of a record deal, made many demo recordings of their early material. Mostly recorded in the first part of 1975 (some sources even state late 1974) with a second, shorter attempt in September, these offer the best glimpses of the band in its formative stages.
I've heard ppl talk in interviews about Marty Thau demos, which Johnny said he preferred to the actual final mix of Ramones. It would be cool if anyone could sort these demos by time and place and recording details. This batch sounds great.
Pretty sure the Marty Thau demos were only two songs: "Judy Is A Punk" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend". They are produced fairly well and Judy even has piano in it. Norton Records did a 7" release of those songs in the '90s. They were recorded on September 19th, '75. The above demo was recorded by Tommy at Dick Charles Studios. In Johnny's bio, he states that these demos were recorded February 2nd and 10th, 1975. The above demo is actually missing "I Don't Care", which can be heard here: ua-cam.com/video/8z8Omu8aCmI/v-deo.html
Thanks, John. I know there's been some friction between respective family/friends at times, but it's great that the legacy was and is a priority for those still involved. 22 years since they quit and these demos and such still generate real interest and accent the story of the band in so many ways.
Only 5 years after Woodstock, 4 years after Beatles broke up, and these guys were already 20 years in the future, rock and roll in his purest and most innovative form at the same time…not at the time you’d have expected it
The 3 most important artists in Rock ‘n roll history- The Beatles, Elvis and The Ramones. In my opinion. I was huge Stones fan up until the time I heard Leave Home. Once I heard that record the stones sounded less dangerous, very stale and average
@@leahflower9924 Herman’s Hermits ‘Henry the Eighth’ , if that helps . Yes , it does help . Probably one of my favorites when I was three …. So that would make it ‘64 or so …. Also check out The Dave Clark Five and The Kinks. Be sure to listen to ‘Dandy’ (Kinks orig , then Hermits) … also ‘Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter’ …. Good Luck !!! p.s. also !! Please checkout Amyl & The Sniffers. Pub/Punk from Melbourne , Australia ….. about to take over !!
These demos are the most powerful evidence of what Ramones were. First time I listened to them was back in 1996. They were at the end of "Unreleased tracks" bootleg CD. Not all of them but 4 or 5 songs. I don't quite remember it well.
Yeaaahhhh!!! I remember part of this stuff was included in the All the stuff and more album. The demo quality is what defines this music. Rock on, guys!!!
@@philipvandenberk wrote the first verse and chorus and the riiffs ,gave it to richard hell and he wrote the rest of the lyrics but dee dee did 75% of it.
So true.! It's been said many times by others but this music helped save my life. I was a 15 year old outcast, fuck up in 1977 when I first picked the Leave Home from the library. My life changed forever 10 seconds in to Shock Treatment. I felt a joy no one could take from me,...(not like there was really anyone who wanted too) The Ramones gave me life, I'm not overstating this.
I’ve been a UK Ramones fan since I was a 14 year old school kid, back in 78’, lucky to have seen them live 11 times, 78 and 80’ were the best before the “silly speed” crept in. Autographs and Soundcheck 1980. As rough and raw as this sounds I prefer these early masterpieces to the “stereo Beatleest”recording of the first album. Just my opinion like.
Damn I wanna be your boyfriend sounds way better here, joeys vocals are killer here and way more fun. Wish they would kept some of the melodic ad libs on this demo cause they're catchy as hell and sound brattier on here than studio version. Oh well both rock that's just how good the Ramones are ..even their demos blow most bands away
Because this amazing recording is sorely lacking a reliable track list, I fixed this up in two minutes. Hey Ho Let's Go! Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones! Gabba Gabba Hey! 00:00 - I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement 02:24 - 53rd & 3rd 04:50 - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend 06:38 - Judy Is A Punk 8:13 - Loudmouth 10:36 - Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue 12:21 - I Can't Be 14:15 - Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World 16:22 - I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You 18:19 - I Don't Wanna Be Learned 19:24 - You're Gonna Kill That Girl 22:08 - What's Your Game 24:56 - Chainsaw 26:53 - You Should Have Never Opened That Door
Es que, ahora lo tenemos tan interiorizado, pero imaginar estar escuchando esto entonces, cuando NADIE sonaba así. Ha de haber sido como una patada en el cerebro. Pensar: ¿Qué estoy oyendo? ¿Quiénes son? ¡¿Qué está pasando?!
I would like to see the second part with a Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat On The Brat, Havana Affair, Listen To My Heart, Glad To See You Go, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, I Remember You, Oh Oh I Love You So, Carbona Not Glue, Suzy Is A Headbanger, Pinhead, Now I Wanna Be A Good Boy, Swallow My Pride and Commando. It was another half-hour record with 14 low-fi hits like this demo
I can't find any info on this full demo anywhere on the internet for some reason. I wonder if this is the correct order sequence of the songs. The first five were certainly released in this order on a number of bootlegs over the years. Other than I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement and Judy is a Punk, these demos have all been released officially on cd and cleaned up, for some reason the demo of I Don't Care is missing here. I wonder if we will EVER get an official, decent release of this entire session, maybe even with some info on when in 1975 it was recorded.
These are the "Radio City Music Hall Demos" and to my understanding were originally intended to be the first album. I believe they returned to R.C.M.H. to record what would become what we know as their first album.
My grandad said exactly the same thing in 1977, but the "shit" he was referring to was the Ramones. I did not agree, of course, but he thought the Ramones wasn't music. He said "but it's so aggressive". I never discovered what, if any music, he liked to listen to.
What is great about the demos is it shows how original the Ramones were, as their demo sounds nothing like anything else going on in 1974/ 75.
Bruh this shits older than my mom but im still here
@@milly0243 your mom loves it too dude
How bout David Bowie Hang on to Yourself?
at this point i would say, ramones, the punks, death and jack ruby and maybe the bratts, were some bands that were doing "punk rock" and some noise, even som hc by 1974
@@zeitok8 definitely not HC. Too much 50s Rock n Roll influence here for that.
best band forever and ever
Along with the Buzzcocks and the Clash.
Gotta love how the tape compression sounds through all of this. Continually breaking up and raw as fk
THIS DEMO IS LIKE A GREATEST HITS ALBUM....
exactly right!
Listen to "Blitzkrieg '77" if you can... (I belive the same show was released on some of the later re-masters.)
To the point... When the played it... the second album wasent out yet... so the played alot of songs that wasen't out there yet.

Thank you 👍
Ramones still relevant and appreciated in 2019. And oh so greatly missed.
carolk9s yes
Missed big time !! 😪
like how they always said... "we aint the rolling stones"
their lyrics speak to us misfits losers outcasts etc. that's why
The current year is completely irrelevant.
"I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement" is terrific!
This is my new favorite Ramones album.
The best band of the fuckin history of Rock and Roll!
Better than the Who, The Kinks, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Blink 182?....I think not
@@thomasandersen6719 all of those except perhaps on par with AC/DC. I don't know where the fuck you're looking bringing Blink 182 into it.

GB Mistake,,,you got the joke, yes?
I agree
Dee Dee's voice here is actually prettier/softer than on the records. This is a treasure.
Blame the production and his substance abuse for it
Its all joey singing

This needs a proper release its amazingly good
EXACTLY
Sucks they never made a full album of songs like these
I think the demo had a remaster in 1989
first album, 40th anniversary box set has most if not all of this stuff. a lot of it sounds better there too
@@kaydgaming They did. An album called "Ramones".
Deceptively simple in composition, yet so incredibly effective. The mark of any great artist.
dee dee was killing it on bass in this demo. best ive ever heard them.
Joey and Dee Dee’s harmonies are to die for here, especially on Judy Is a Punk
ugh, so, so good. Instantly my favorite version here
yes,for real!
I think there is Mickey on backin vocals also, at least he did some on the record. But Judy is A Punk demo indeed is MUCH better than version on the album
TOTAL balls to the wall rock & roll. R.A.M.O.N.E.S.
BEST BAND EVER !!!!!
No
Pure wall of epic sound.
Like Phil Spector turned up to 11 on a blown out amp
I just love the Ramones demos! Joey's perfect voice, he singing on the demos is sweet, in love, perfect❤❤❤
Tommy was the brain, Johnny was the muscle, Dee Dee and Joey were the heart and soul.
Damn right
Horace Chit Seriously what the fuck is your problem? This dude never said a word to you, and you just throw him on the grill like that? You sir are a parasite.

Raw, Electrifying, Powerful! I used to blast these demos through my headphones everyday. Immensely inspiring.
Thanks for sharing ( never heard these early demo's)!
I had to pause simply because I was trying to imagine myself doing a demo and I couldn't believe what I was listening to, so powerful.
