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.
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.
there was also a tinge of misogyny which i failed to recount in the BIG BOYS incident.. patriarchal expectation would certainly fall in line easily with other strictly fundamentalist scripture adherence.
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!!!
