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. Not the Pistols. Sorry London YOU didn't invent punk rock or the movement. It started in the bowls of New York city. Motorhead did invent thrash or gave birth to it. Either way both bands got it right the first time. God Bless them both. R.I.P.
I don’t think Motörhead invented trash but they hade more then a little influence on it, they more or less laid the ground work and weren’t fast enough to be counted at “thrash” but that’s just my opinion Motörhead slays 🤘

I got to see The Ramones during the 1996 Lollapalooza tour, close to one of their final performances. Even at the end, they were a force of fucking nature. As the last note of each song was still sustaining, CJ would count off the next song, and then BOOM! They were the real deal.
I went as well. 17 years old, Pownal VT. My pants came off while "surfing " during the Ramones. A great time. But... the tye dyed Metallica shirt I bought in the parking lot kind of somes up some of the "confused and corrupted" vibes of the head liner.
I don’t care as much about tommy not being in the band as dee dee. I really liked Richie playing drums. Without dee dee though, it just wasn’t the ramones
I saw the same tour at Rockingham, also saw the Ramones about a month earlier in Myrtle Beach in a club.The club was a better show but a helluva lot louder😂All in all a fun show from a band I wanted to see since a kid in the 70's
The funny thing is that after leaving the ramones Dee Dee joined GG Allin's band just long enough to sober up for a few hours and realize that GG was a total psychopath then run away as fast as his feet could carry him.
I like this guy. "The Black Sabbath of punk." Sabbath created metal and Ramones created punk. I've seen both bands live and I've played CBGBs. He speaks the truth.
And sadly when the Ramones opened up for Black Sabbath in Long Beach CA. They were boo'd and had bottles thrown at them. After the 2nd song Joey said thank you and they left.
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.
That whole myth about punk born in England reminded me of a story about The Ramones going to UK for the first time and Johnny threatening to beat The Clash for stealing their style 😂
Punk was born in the US but the look of punk became influenced by UK Not saying Ramones didn’t influence punk style tho, in fact I prefer the punk look of the Ramones over the UK
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".
"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." EXACTLY! great comment.
The Ramones were very Zappa like. Everyone has heard of them, but few people know much from them, and only their fans know how brilliant, and diverse their music was. Both seem to almost seem like they had a secret joke that only a few understood.
Even now, with all the newfound press that they seem to get, people still misunderstand them and their importance to rock n roll and all of music for that matter. As he said, “ThEy aLl SoUnD tHe SaMe” - every person who doesn’t get them ever
The Ramones were rock Gods in Spain and South America, in Argentina specially. Ramonesmania! They filled football stadiums, a crowd waited for them outside the hotel, they appeared in the news, the last concert in River Plate was aired on TV. Dee Dee even lived a couple of years in Banfield, Buenos Aires, because he got a young Argentinian girlfriend, when he came as a solo artist.
I think I might be the only communist Ramones fan. I'm fully aware that Johnny and Dee Dee would've wanted to kick my ass, but that somehow doesn't make me enjoy their music any less.
@@eliasmullins9217 Actually not at all uncommon in the British punk scene (like Joe Strummer and Gang of Four). Pretty damn hard to find in America tho, especially in the Ramones' heyday.
Ironically that's probably one of his more lucid quotes cause Dee Dee in interviews always comes across as lacking in intelligence either because he's simply not very smart or articulate or his brain is completely fried on whatever drugs he's high on at the time.
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.
Man, I started watching it, thinking: I will watch this for some minutes and that’s it’s, but I ended up seeing and enjoying every minute, what a great job! Thanks!
❤ I lived in Philly for 6 years in the 1990's I saw them in Philly and NYC 43 times, every show was awesome, I am a guitar player for 50 years and I consider them the 2nd greatest rock band EVER!!! INCREDIBLE BAND !!!!
I grew up and had my impressional music years in the early and mid 90s. I started with ska and worked my way backwards to punk and reggae. you dont have to be a punk to love the ramones and the clash, it is just good fucking music.
Hey Razorfist, had to give you a genuine Thank You for this one. I'd known they were legends, but never managed to get my ticket punched for their hype train no matter what track I listened to or which of my own musical lodestars listed them as inspiration or influence. After this though, I can finally feel a proper respect for them. Like a brick to the head in their profundity. Much appreciated.
Without a doubt this the best thing I have seen in a while, And no Ramones collection is complete without the great double live album It's Alive. That Album shows the power they had live
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!
@@harbl99 haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Queens Mythos was *HEARTWARMING, AUTISTIC AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL RHAPSODIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how it took me so long to find your channel (hey UA-cam algorithm... get your shit together) but I'm thankful I finally have. Great shit brotha, can't wait to check out the rest of your content, I immediately subbed. Thanks for puttin in the work to make really great videos about really great bands!
This is the best videography of the Ramones. Lol! It's funny, honest, and has way more facts than most content out there. I laughed and smiled during the entire video. thanks rager...I needed a blast of Punk rock realism. I'm still laughing 5 years later after watching this again!
Its crazy the ramones are one of the top 3 greatest american rock n roll bands ever.. they are 100% pure rock n roll and maybe the only rock band that never compromised for fame
God Despite the fact they have left this world Thank you for the time you gave us with these wonderful guys. Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy, Rest In Peace guys, keep on rocking in paradise
Just finished up the video. Had no idea The Ramones were that varied in their stuff. Outside of the "big" tunes, I had never really paid attention. Straight up, I failed as a rock fan here. Excellent video.
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.
I feel like a lot of heavy metal drummers would agree, but we’re never asked, that the drumming on a Love Supreme by Coltrane was MaSiVeLy influential… maybe subconsciously so ( skip to Pt IV for Loud Drums, but also spoil one of the few concept albums that transcends the aforementioned’s highest expectations, where Meditation, Spirituality, perhaps Religiosity, and street smart Urban Rancour gelled and obsolesced in one 32 minute listen. Could be just me taking shots in the dark (only shot for shot parallel is the drumming on Mastodon’s Leviathan, and even that is Unsaid in relation)
Came for the politics, stayed for the music. Good video, The Ramones are one of my all time favourite bands. Only things I would add is The Danzig era Misfits are awesome.
I'm glad you touched on the Dee Dee King releases. I bought the "Standing In the Spotlight" album years ago, and holy fuck it's like an acid trip to think how one of the best punk bassists could make it. A critic of the album said it the best, it's a kitsch collectors item mainly because it's one of the worst albums ever made. I recommend listening to it just out of morbid curiosity. Especially considering it's got an early Dee Dee version of an Adios Amigos song, "The Crusher".
I used to think William Shatner's "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" was the worst song ever recorded....I now stand corrected - Dee Dee, I'm glad I missed this shit.
I remember reading a Johnny Ramone interview in a German Guitar Magazine several years ago saying how he cringed during the production of End Of The Century, how he HATED parts of it. Violins, and Spector's spin on the production. I agree, in part, but Chinese Rock is such a killer of a song that I tend to forget about it :D Thanks for doing a piece on the Ramones. Proud to have original autographs hanging on the wall. Legends.
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'
For what it's worth, "The KKK Took My Baby Away" isn't about Johnny Ramone's wife. It's a about a black girl Joey was dating in a mental institution that went missing.
Thank you for covering one of the bands that introduced me to good music. Because My dad gave me a stack of cassettes including "Leave Home", "Pleasant Dreams", "Too Tough to Die", the Queen album "Hot Space", the Who compilation "Who's Better Who's Best The Very Very Best of The Who", and Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell", all I was listening to was whatever crap I could get on the *AM radio* tuner in my walkman.
Old Green Day(aka Actual Punk Rock Green Day) was boss as hell. Ever since American Idiot, though, Armstrong's disappeared up his own ass and it shows in their music.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
First video by you I ever watched! +Richard Michael Egan showed me this and I absolutely ENJOY they way you articulate your words and the many reference you make! Laughed my ass off!
I love how their records are really fast, and then their live show is impossibly fucking faster, and MORESO as they get older!!! I would say they are one of the most impressive bands of all time. I'd recommend everyone watch their version of Blitzkrieg Bop from their very last show. It's almost triple the album speed!
Like many great punk bands, their live performances were often better and more energetic than the studio recordings. Also, Johnny had a self-imposed rule where the Ramones tried not to have a show lasting longer than an hour because he deliberately wanted to leave the fans wanting more. I guess he figured if the show went on too long, the fans would start to get bored and would not leave the show with such a great impression of the band. Leaving the fans craving for more was a great way to get them to come back the next time the Rates came to town. Johnny used to time the shows and try to beat his previous record for finishing a show, lol.
Really great video dude. And also, good take on Stern. I remember hearing those interviews and felt bad for those guys. But seriously, this is an awesome punk doc.
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!

Goddamnit, you have such a great taste in music that i cant realy hate you.
I've seen both bands, no CBGB'S.
And sadly when the Ramones opened up for Black Sabbath in Long Beach CA. They were boo'd and had bottles thrown at them. After the 2nd song Joey said thank you and they left.
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.
YOU SAID IT MAN RIP RAMONES RIP
"You don't hold a grudge against your band mate for 18 yrs"
Joey- hold my glue
That whole myth about punk born in England reminded me of a story about The Ramones going to UK for the first time and Johnny threatening to beat The Clash for stealing their style 😂
Punk was born in the US but the look of punk became influenced by UK
Not saying Ramones didn’t influence punk style tho, in fact I prefer the punk look of the Ramones over the UK
The Saints & Radio Birdman formed in 1973. it wasn’t born in the USA
@@coldacre Yeah and The Stooges and The MC5 were kicking ass in the sixties before that. It was born here deal with it.
That's funny. I didn't know about it
@@coldacre*laughs in Stooges*
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".
"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." EXACTLY! great comment.
After watching this search "Ramones live at the Rainbow" on youtube, one of the best live performances ever!
Fattest of the fat guitar walls ever. Just amazing.
Their neste performances are in the early 90's
Awesome performance, would have killed to be at that show!
The Ramones were very Zappa like. Everyone has heard of them, but few people know much from them, and only their fans know how brilliant, and diverse their music was.
Both seem to almost seem like they had a secret joke that only a few understood.
Even now, with all the newfound press that they seem to get, people still misunderstand them and their importance to rock n roll and all of music for that matter.
As he said, “ThEy aLl SoUnD tHe SaMe” - every person who doesn’t get them ever
Do ya think Zappa was a Ramones fan ?
The Ramones were rock Gods in Spain and South America, in Argentina specially. Ramonesmania! They filled football stadiums, a crowd waited for them outside the hotel, they appeared in the news, the last concert in River Plate was aired on TV. Dee Dee even lived a couple of years in Banfield, Buenos Aires, because he got a young Argentinian girlfriend, when he came as a solo artist.
@@J0EYbagaDONUTS He didn’t like punk, so probably not.

I think I might be the only communist Ramones fan. I'm fully aware that Johnny and Dee Dee would've wanted to kick my ass, but that somehow doesn't make me enjoy their music any less.

Ironically that's probably one of his more lucid quotes cause Dee Dee in interviews always comes across as lacking in intelligence either because he's simply not very smart or articulate or his brain is completely fried on whatever drugs he's high on at the time.
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.
Man, I started watching it, thinking: I will watch this for some minutes and that’s it’s, but I ended up seeing and enjoying every minute, what a great job! Thanks!
❤ I lived in Philly for 6 years in the 1990's I saw them in Philly and NYC 43 times, every show was awesome, I am a guitar player for 50 years and I consider them the 2nd greatest rock band EVER!!! INCREDIBLE BAND !!!!
I grew up and had my impressional music years in the early and mid 90s. I started with ska and worked my way backwards to punk and reggae. you dont have to be a punk to love the ramones and the clash, it is just good fucking music.
The Police
Hey Razorfist, had to give you a genuine Thank You for this one.
I'd known they were legends, but never managed to get my ticket punched for their hype train no matter what track I listened to or which of my own musical lodestars listed them as inspiration or influence.
After this though, I can finally feel a proper respect for them. Like a brick to the head in their profundity. Much appreciated.
As a big Ramones fan I can say this documentary is just perfect. Well done!
Without a doubt this the best thing I have seen in a while, And no Ramones collection is complete without the great double live album It's Alive. That Album shows the power they had live
I don't want the Ramones to be buried in a pet cemetary
But if you did they will come back to life

THE SIMPSONS
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!
Thank you for making this video. Ramones have been my favorite band since I was a kid. I really enjoyed this!
The Ramones are the greatest band ever...they will never be beaten
Ramones are the best punk band of all time.
that would be the stalin
I like Sum 41. Don't get me wrong. But Sum 41, didn't inspired all of Europe.
H1987 sum 41 is worse than aids and cancer

There not that bad. It's just that Ramones are the greatest.
I was lucky enough to see the Ramones 3 times and each time was just amazing. It's a crying shame they never had the success they deserved.
This was a good video to get mildly drunk to.

I don't know how it took me so long to find your channel (hey UA-cam algorithm... get your shit together) but I'm thankful I finally have. Great shit brotha, can't wait to check out the rest of your content, I immediately subbed. Thanks for puttin in the work to make really great videos about really great bands!
Loving these videos. I have no clue how I haven’t found this channel and these video until now. Amazing and awesome video.
Thank you Razor for this video.
And thank you Tony Hawk Pro Skater for introducing me to the Ramones.
Never clicked on a video faster in my life
Same. Good work.
Only Facts Amen brotha
I was listening to The Ramones yesterday in my car. I was ready for this video.
Redfeild RE I've never disliked a video faster in my life than the text at 10:03
Only Facts Damn Straight
Saw Ramones 5 times. Now I feel like I took it for granted. Just couldn’t get enough.
I agree Marky Ramone is a damn good drummer. His previous band Dust rocked hard.
Love Dust, it’s a shame they only had two records.
Marky is one of the greatest drummers overall.
This is the best videography of the Ramones. Lol! It's funny, honest, and has way more facts than most content out there. I laughed and smiled during the entire video. thanks rager...I needed a blast of Punk rock realism. I'm still laughing 5 years later after watching this again!

Another well researched, entertaining piece. Love this series. Keep up the great work.
This is how every documentary host should be! This guy's great

Been up all night listening to old and new metal thanks in part to you. Nice way to top off before crashing.
Just finished up the video.
Had no idea The Ramones were that varied in their stuff. Outside of the "big" tunes, I had never really paid attention. Straight up, I failed as a rock fan here.
Excellent video.
Your mythos series is humbling. Fucking awesome stuff. Thank you!
I know this has been said a million times but this is absolutely the band that change my life
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.
In the Ozzy days anyway.
Iron Maiden are imitators, not originators, you're making a big deal out of nothing, listen to Unleashed in the East and see pounding drums
I feel like a lot of heavy metal drummers would agree, but we’re never asked, that the drumming on a Love Supreme by Coltrane was MaSiVeLy influential… maybe subconsciously so ( skip to Pt IV for Loud Drums, but also spoil one of the few concept albums that transcends the aforementioned’s highest expectations, where Meditation, Spirituality, perhaps Religiosity, and street smart Urban Rancour gelled and obsolesced in one 32 minute listen.
Could be just me taking shots in the dark (only shot for shot parallel is the drumming on Mastodon’s Leviathan, and even that is Unsaid in relation)
Dude your the ultimate guy on UA-cam about music and everything. Every review is comprehensive and it's always a great band.
The first, and most important band I ever saw. I fkn love this video, and subsequently, your channel. Great videos btw.
This was awesome - you should cover punk bands more often!
As a life long Ramones fan, having seen them live in ‘92. I want to thank you for this absolutely amazing video.
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!
Came for the politics, stayed for the music. Good video, The Ramones are one of my all time favourite bands. Only things I would add is The Danzig era Misfits are awesome.
I'm glad you touched on the Dee Dee King releases. I bought the "Standing In the Spotlight" album years ago, and holy fuck it's like an acid trip to think how one of the best punk bassists could make it. A critic of the album said it the best, it's a kitsch collectors item mainly because it's one of the worst albums ever made. I recommend listening to it just out of morbid curiosity. Especially considering it's got an early Dee Dee version of an Adios Amigos song, "The Crusher".
I used to think William Shatner's "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" was the worst song ever recorded....I now stand corrected - Dee Dee, I'm glad I missed this shit.
Thanks so much for the presentation, analysis and explanation of probly the most original band of all time !
I remember reading a Johnny Ramone interview in a German Guitar Magazine several years ago saying how he cringed during the production of End Of The Century, how he HATED parts of it. Violins, and Spector's spin on the production. I agree, in part, but Chinese Rock is such a killer of a song that I tend to forget about it :D Thanks for doing a piece on the Ramones. Proud to have original autographs hanging on the wall. Legends.
Please do Black Sabbath. I'm sure there would be a rant about Ozzy vs Dio amongst others
Anyone with braincells to carry a static charge would side with Dio on that, Ozzy was an insufferable cunt to Dio.
DIO would defeat Ozzy because of the power of The World
Well then you'll be a happy camper today.

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

@@samuelwetz8378Razor has said that he loves Sodom tho
For what it's worth, "The KKK Took My Baby Away" isn't about Johnny Ramone's wife. It's a about a black girl Joey was dating in a mental institution that went missing.
dating..lol. He just knew her.

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.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Old Green Day(aka Actual Punk Rock Green Day) was boss as hell. Ever since American Idiot, though, Armstrong's disappeared up his own ass and it shows in their music.

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.
Comprehensive like nothing before it and unsentimental but touching tribute to my favorite band of all time. Wonderful video.
Was not expecting this! I did a personal trek through their entire discog a few months back, so I'm excited to see your opinions!
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.
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.
One of my top 3 all time fave bands. Got to see them twice, and it's a f'n shame their gone... great video👌
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!
Another great "Mythos". Enjoyed this episode a lot. Keep up the good work.
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.
YOU SAED IT ALL RIP RAMONES RIP
56:39 - 58:45
The best laughs I've had in a long time. Thank you, Razor.
Thank you Razorfist, the Ramons are my favorite band of all time.
Yes great band, I love the Mifsits as well.
This guy gets the Ramones and very few punk rockers actually do. Subscribing.
i watched this today, after 3 years from original upload. ITS STILL SO GREAT. LOVE THE RAMONES! 2020
Awesome video as always. Was a bit surprised that you didn't mention 'Bonzo Goes To Bitburg' though, what a great song that is.
Spot on nice job. Hung around Joey for 15 years Ramones are the best.
This video made my day dude. Great work!
I’ve always loved Too Tough To Die. My fave Ramones record by far, and I feel the best thing they ever did.
back again. AWESOME VID man. appreciate what you do.
I didn't know Bruce Lee played bass for the Ramones.
He was also a rapper in the 80s
Ha.
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.
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.
First video by you I ever watched! +Richard Michael Egan showed me this and I absolutely ENJOY they way you articulate your words and the many reference you make! Laughed my ass off!
I think Johnny Ramone is officially my new hero.
He's always been my hero.
Johnny go's against the "accepted and expexted" grain. Badass.
Yeah...and what a sweetheart...going up to Dee Dee and hitting him and bullying everyone in the Band.

I can’t believe I just found these? Righteous work 🤘
I love how their records are really fast, and then their live show is impossibly fucking faster, and MORESO as they get older!!! I would say they are one of the most impressive bands of all time.
I'd recommend everyone watch their version of Blitzkrieg Bop from their very last show. It's almost triple the album speed!
Mat Turner it’s like they perfected themselves! What a great band! It’s so hard to turn ppl on to the Ramones!
Like many great punk bands, their live performances were often better and more energetic than the studio recordings. Also, Johnny had a self-imposed rule where the Ramones tried not to have a show lasting longer than an hour because he deliberately wanted to leave the fans wanting more. I guess he figured if the show went on too long, the fans would start to get bored and would not leave the show with such a great impression of the band. Leaving the fans craving for more was a great way to get them to come back the next time the Rates came to town. Johnny used to time the shows and try to beat his previous record for finishing a show, lol.
Really great video dude. And also, good take on Stern. I remember hearing those interviews and felt bad for those guys. But seriously, this is an awesome punk doc.
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!
