What a shame...what a loss. He should still be around. He'd only be in his early 70's if he was still alive. While it is tragic that he died the way he did, it would most definitely be the most pleasant way to die...
El Pinche Hombre I bought and read the book written by Mickey Leigh about his brother Joey. Heard a radio interview of Vera (one of Dee Dee's eives). She was very interesting, sweet and positive. I think I will also buy and read the book about poor Dee Dee even if I feel heartbroken in advance 🥺🎸🎼🌺🎤🎧❤️
I'm almost done with his book, it's on sale for 2.99 on kindle right now. I'd rather have a real copy, but for 2.99 I'm fine with reading my phone. Lol
he wrote 75-80% of the songs, and he was the most influential punk bassist of all time, johnny is also the most influential guitarist of all time, but he couldn't write songs like Dee Dee. I love all the ramones though, the real ramones joey, johnny, and dee dee RIP!!
@Jawknee That has nothing to do with what Juan said. Dee himself said he just didn't know what he was doing in rap. They're two completely different styles and genres of music and two different types of musical cultures.
He didn't write all of the Ramones songs now, just a shit ton of them. The KKK took my Baby Away was a Joey song and I Don't Want to Grow up is a Tom Waits cover. But he was pretty great.
@@AStri-zg5xc yes but without johnny it would have been a completely mess ! Here dee dee is really Great even if his addicction made him seems older and sick
Saw the Ramones in Sydney 1983 there abouts. Sixty minutes of ear drum busting, blistering rock. Stand out moment, Dee Dee biting off a flap of skin on his right plucking thumb spraying blood over the Fender. Rock'n'Roll in bliss.
My favorite video on UA-cam, I watch a few times a week! Wish I could see the entire concert. Dee Dee looked so good here, and he is 50. I miss you - rest in peace, you are the KIng!
I met Dee Dee a few times before he died, he was so fragile and charming, you just wanted to hug him and protect him from the world and himself. He came back to my work one day and gave me his last copy of The Ramainz CD.
It's all my fault! I've been listening to this for months. Now I know exactly what it looked like. This is great! Such a great writer and performer. No comparison to Sid Vicious. He produced so many good songs & really hung in there. Dee Dee Ramone Forever!!!
Rest in peace Dee Dee & rest in peace all Ramones Family... [*][*][*][*] Wat a huge and sad lost for the world of Truly Music... Hopefully Ya jam upstairs togheter again... ♡ ♡ ♡.
under appreciated artist when he was alive. he wrote the bulk of the ramones best songs. his legacy lives on- i see kids still wear ramones t-shirts more today than back when he was around. he influenced fashion too - main stream kids they dress like him and have his hairstyle-they just don't know it.
Sure wish I saw Dee Dee and the Ramones live! Why did God not keep the Ramones young and alive? Such a terrible lost. But good thing is they gave us all of this great music. Thanks Ramones.
I used to book bands at what is now First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN. My career wasn't very long or great. But I did get to rub shoulders with the Ramones in 1978,1980,IN NYC 1981,1986,HOLLYWOOD 1988. Dee Dee always struck me as such a good guy.
Very cool. Thanks 1-2-3-4 posting. Dee Dee did a few Johnny Thunders' songs , besides "Chinese Rocks" and "Born To Lose". He released "Chatterbox" as the flipside to "What About Me". I don't know if there's any clips up here , but I saw Dee Dee twice with The Chinese Dragons in the 90's , and both shows were great.
Thanx for video. 3 great songs all Thunders related. Good cover of Thunders classic, Born To Lose. Thunders/Lure and Heartbreakers always did Chinese Rocks and Dolls Pill.
@@jcripp7974 Thanks for the info; can't believe I wrote that post 7 years ago. I found video on UA-cam of Bo Diddley and Pills. Very cool ua-cam.com/video/sWbB_vStX_8/v-deo.html
We all wish he stayed with Ramones, but when you watch Dee Dee in the last concerts he looked so bored and fed up. Look at him in this video, he looks great, happy, and has a glow about him.
This was a real hip spot in the East Village for a year or two in the early 2000s. I saw Old Dirty Bastard and many others perform on the same small stage; it could have been the day ODB was released from prison. It was one of a handful of spots in the city where you could get in and drink for free if you had an interesting look. I think Spa was the Wednesday night spot.
Thank you, for posting the other two players in this video. Yes.... I am so greatful i was able to see The Ramones play live in Los Angeles, Ca. AT THESE VENUES... 1-The Whisky a Go Go 2-The Olympic Aud. 3-The Place in Hollywood 4-The Hollywood Paladium
As a fan of the The Ramones this is sadl to watch as well as his ignorance to when JOHNNY THUNDERS passed...I read his book about the times he spent at the Chelsea, he was great (if not so stoned) when they received their introduction into The Rock Roll Hall of Fame..I remember taping it when it was on VH1. Johnny as always was a class act. So sad that the original and the only are gone.
because Johnny is not there to yell at him. but it sounds perfect even if he's not playing always downstroke (and if he doesn't play this way the whole set, he does it most of the time)
one, two, three, four... forever
One Chew free far he said😉
Por siempre 1,2,3,4 y el mejor compositor de punk y en bajo. The best dee dee
Qpd dee Ramone uno de los padres del punk
What a shame...what a loss. He should still be around. He'd only be in his early 70's if he was still alive. While it is tragic that he died the way he did, it would most definitely be the most pleasant way to die...
Thanks for handing me that pic back in 83! Rip Dee Dee
There'd be no Ramones without Dee Dee! Thank you, Dee Dee! May you rest in peace.
Just read his book. What a beautiful, and disturbed soul. Love you Dee Dee. Rest in Power.
+Christian Reject I have to read it, I see!
El Pinche Hombre I bought and read the book written by Mickey Leigh about his brother Joey. Heard a radio interview of Vera (one of Dee Dee's eives). She was very interesting, sweet and positive. I think I will also buy and read the book about poor Dee Dee even if I feel heartbroken in advance 🥺🎸🎼🌺🎤🎧❤️
Wonderful book.. Reading “Lobotomy” made me feel less alone when I was a geeky high school kid. R.I.P. DEE DEE !
I'm almost done with his book, it's on sale for 2.99 on kindle right now. I'd rather have a real copy, but for 2.99 I'm fine with reading my phone. Lol
Lo siento 😮

Thunders wrote equally great songs. Of course they werent the same. DeeDee just played one.
tommy too?
@@wyrd7545 Yes
Dee Dee was the creator mind of all the Ramones' Songs, you were Rock & Roll Man... Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Juan Orcial
Ha! Listen to Dee's solo rap album and then read your statement again! Hee~Hee.
@Jawknee That has nothing to do with what Juan said. Dee himself said he just didn't know what he was doing in rap. They're two completely different styles and genres of music and two different types of musical cultures.
He didn't write all of the Ramones songs now, just a shit ton of them. The KKK took my Baby Away was a Joey song and I Don't Want to Grow up is a Tom Waits cover. But he was pretty great.
@@OthO67 i cant stop listening to it. mashed potato time might be my all time favorite song.
he almost single-handedly invented punk rock alomg with johnny mostly
Dee Dee was a fine man, so talented and hot, may that man rest in peace :/ you rock !
Marry me pls
Naw marry me!
I visited his grave sight last month.
He is resting peacefully.
fine man? p.o.s,,,lol,,,
Fine, not. Hot? Nope. Nut. Yup. Loveable yes.
dee dee looks so comfortable singing and playing bass at the same time more so than he ever did with the ramones
That's because Johnny wasn't there to beat his ass if he F'd up. Working with someone who would assault you might be stressful.
@@AStri-zg5xc yes but without johnny it would have been a completely mess !
Here dee dee is really Great even if his addicction made him seems older and sick
The music is great
@@rougesrouges7833 assault isn’t a way to run a band
@@AStri-zg5xc lol, you think johnny could fuck w Dougie?
Dee Dee and his band rock. Damn good performance.
I think this was an odd pick up band, some random show because the Ramainz consisted of Dee Dee, His wife Barbara, and Marky.
Saw the Ramones in Sydney 1983 there abouts. Sixty minutes of ear drum busting, blistering rock. Stand out moment, Dee Dee biting off a flap of skin on his right plucking thumb spraying blood over the Fender.

Why did God not keep the Ramones young and alive?
Such a terrible lost.
But good thing is they gave us all of this great music.
Thanks Ramones.
I dunno, I believe in miracles.
They were my first concert in 1981, at a roller rink in Detroit
Traci H Same here. 92 at sneakers roller rink in Martinsburg WV.
The greatest rock and roll band of all time
One of the best songwriters of all time
plaster's falling off the wall, my girlfriend is crying in the shower stall, all my best things are in hock, I'm living for a chinese rock
Just to be able to play one song with Dee Dee would be fucking beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this is great, I admire Dee Dee's courage and perseverance he was a true survivor
really enjoyed watching this. thanks. RIP Dee Dee.....
I used to book bands at what is now First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN.
My career wasn't very long or great.
But I did get to rub shoulders with the Ramones in 1978,1980,IN NYC 1981,1986,HOLLYWOOD 1988.
Dee Dee always struck me as such a good guy.
Great! Saw Dee Dee a couple times around then. Sounded fab!

Man i miss Dee Dee, he really brought out the best in so many people.
His art mattered.
He looks so good for 50, he also looks really happy performing.
Great cover of the Bo Didley song Pills.
The NY Dolls did that too.
0:13 - Born to lose
2:33 - Chinese rock
5:04 - Pills
Man i love dee dee. got in love in 77 with them. Sheena is a punk rocker / glad to see you go 45rpm. i was 14 :D fuckin hell im too old :D
That's amazing performance... he is a true artist.
RIP genius band missed always.
Dee Dee forever and ever!
Till kingdom come amen!

RIP Dee Dee, will always live with us!
We all wish he stayed with Ramones, but when you watch Dee Dee in the last concerts he looked so bored and fed up. Look at him in this video, he looks great, happy, and has a glow about him.

I playes all these songs in bands a hundred times :-)
Commendations to Mic Solis on guitar (no longer with us) and Paul "Ena" Kostabi on drums.

1,2,3,4!!! Ramones for ever! Argentina!
LEGENDS NEVER DIE
dee dee we miss you so much...do they enjoy your 1234 where you are now ?
As a fan of the The Ramones this is sadl to watch as well as his ignorance to when JOHNNY THUNDERS passed...I read his book about the times he spent at the Chelsea, he was great (if not so stoned) when they received their introduction into The Rock Roll Hall of Fame..I remember taping it when it was on VH1. Johnny as always was a class act. So sad that the original and the only are gone.
Hey, look! It's Dee Dee Ramone himself, and he's not always playing downstroke! That's good to know.
because Johnny is not there to yell at him. but it sounds perfect even if he's not playing always downstroke (and if he doesn't play this way the whole set, he does it most of the time)
Dee Dee always so wonderful....and look to his The Clash's t-shirt....so awesome. =)
Thanks for posting this on Twitter, @realnickgriffin!!!! xoxoxox.
Thank you for letting me see Dee Dee straight.
Look at grandpa rockin out with those youngsters. No but he was one of the greatest musicians of all time

We miss you Dee Dee. R.I.P
Very nice...and, yes, Dee Dee looks really healthy here. Tragedy that we lost him...and Joey and Johnny.
Great version of the tune. However, he should never have left the Ramones.

I never heard him do "Pills" before. That was freakin sweet!!!!
Dee dee sempre vive
Eres Italiano?
I see to Dee Dee Ramone in Mexico City, he was a monster of punk.
