I even caught them on their final tour, and they still had the volume and tempo cranked up, with the only thing resembling a rest being the counts to start the next song. Well, almost the only thing (about 98%), since they did take some moments here and there to do a little banter, acknowledging the audience, and thanking everyone for joining them for their last big blast. Like I said, though, “moments”. They never lingered on it for long, and would go right back into another string of several songs in a row.
Nice! The first time I heard that album I was twelve or thereabouts. I rode my bike over to a buddy's house to go swimming in his pool and his older brother was blasting it from the stereo along with the Blue Öyster Cult Secret Treaties album. My buddy lived in a slightly run down two story house built in the 30's or 40's and the upstairs room had a big window that opened onto the roof of the patio next to the pool. We would climb through the window onto the roof and from there jump into the pool. Then we would get out and run through the house dripping wet and do it again. It was super dangerous but we did it anyway, at least until his older sister got home and told us to chill on the stunt work. You're right, the Ramones were not widely popular back then. Their sound was quite different from the hard rock bands that ruled the radio. But they were popular enough to drive the 1979 teen exploitation film Rock 'n' Roll High School. What happened was that teeny boppers turn into teenagers right quick, and Ramones kept dropping albums and gaining popularity into the eighties. Some of the other highlights from that album include "Rockaway Beach", "We're a Happy Family", "Teenage Lobotomy", "Do You Wanna Dance?", and "Surfin' Bird", a cover of the surf rock classic by the Trashmen.
Blitz(Lightning)-Krieg(War) Bop. "1-2-3-4" Go. Ramones were HEAVILY influenced by Surf Rock, The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Got to see the three times, they were awesome.
It's pronounced "Blits - kreeg bop" ('Blitzkrieg bop') ... 'Blitzkrieg' is a German word used to name an effective attack by Hitler's German military using air, missile and tank offenses that overwhelmed most of Europe's armies during World War II... The word itself was not sympathetic to German nazis but was used by the Ramones to describe the crazy reaction to music in clubs and bars. Blitzkrieg was also the name of a British heavy metal band... Metallica covered their song 'Blitzkrieg'.
One of the best bands to see live. No rest between songs.

Love the Ramones. Try Teenage Lobotomy, The KKK Took My Baby Away, I Wanna Live, or California Sun.
Another classic!

OMG! I forgot about that song - I loved it back in the day....
⚡️💀⚡️
Hell yeah
1989. My college roommate was ready to kick me out because i played the Ramones tape constantly which she bought me for Christmas 😂
You mentioned movies. See the movie ROCK N ROLL HIGH SCHOOL? RAMONES are the main story of the film.
No I have not
Its a 1978 film. About some kids in high school trying desperately to get to see a Ramones performance. Their teachers stand in the way.
Saw them in 1977. Was a fun show.
Beach Boys' melodies over buzzing guitars.
Band is. Best live much higher fast paced energy .. There rec sessions sound of the beach boys sorta feel
I always dug the song beat on the brat
best band ever, most underrated and missunderstood.
While The Ramones created their distinctive sound, don't you find this has a Beach Boys vibe?
Oh, you know it! That’s a big part of the sound they grew up on.
Yep. The melody at "Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go" is very similar to "Fun, Fun, Fun." And the tempos are pretty close as well.
I don’t hear it, I haven’t really heard too much beach boys, you are probably right
Queens! Nyc
Maybe you could review COMMANDO for another Ramones track.
Check out Teenage Kicks from The Undertones!!
Great song. The youngsters will have a st*t fit over the lyrics. 😂
Nice
Punk is fun🤘❤️ now give ska music a listen
I dont wanna go to the basement
The Ramones have some good shlyrics to their songs.
The Ramones didn’t make punk rock popular they invented it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
