Joey Ramone Interview on Videowave -- April 1997

Part of a longer interview. Jimmy Martino interviews Joey Ramone in the loft of Arturo Vega; just around the corner from CBGB's. Included is a taped tribute to Oedipus; for showing at a roast. Not here but in the same interview he expresses his heart-warmed thanks to the Matt Groening for the Ramones appearing on the Simpsons. I would've had more footage but the second interview tape was stolen along with the camera. Videography by Robert Barry Francos. Videowave is a TV program featuring music ignored by the mass media.

Now that they are gone all of these random videos pop up occasionally I'm happy for that but I've been looking for anything I could get my hands on involving Ramones and now the interviews and video clips roll in. ,,,,, Still Awesome !!!

Wow what a gem, I didnt know that Videowave interviewed Joey Ramone.
The Ramones and Videowave are both from back home, but I didnt think that they ever did an interview.
If theres any other Ramones members interviews, please upload them.
I miss the days of MNN public access.

[@VideowaveMusic]

Thanks...this is quite a horrible copy and an incomplete version...hopefully a new version will be uploaded within the next year!

[@RichardDickGrayson]

Videowave Music
That would be great, I would enjoy to see any Ramones-related videos, interviews, etc. that Videowave may have in their archive (I saw that you have Richard Hell stuff too).
Your show is great, its one of my favorite cable access shows along with Concrete TV.
Sadly where I am now, there is no MNN.
At least Im able to view your show on youtube, as a fix for my childhood nostalgia.
Thank you again.

[@VideowaveMusic]

Thanks, yes there are good MNN programs, but I would not be too despondent--public access isn't what it used to be. We were going to upload the VJ segments, but thought that wouldn't interest people. Archiving takes awhile and is also a challenge against time and tape degradation!

​@@VideowaveMusic how was it to interview Joey Ramone? his hair covering his face and red glasses made him look kinda scary XD

[@VideowaveMusic]

@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625 He was actually quite nice!

[@Stinkydo0d]

That's why the Ramones were, the Ramones. They just didn't care what people thought back then. Nobody cared what people thought back then. Now everyone's insecure and wonders what the person next to him will think if he does something.
