The clash were cliché, terrible song writers who only caught on due to their lame political posturing, the sex pistols were a boy band, THE RAMONES WERE THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERED IN THE 70'S.
The whole punk new wave scene was a conspiracy. The Ramones are the answer to Devo's concept of devolution, both bands of which whose members met and formed a band between 73 and 74. Is it such a coincidence that both bands dabbled in the debauchery of the Andy Warhol scene? The whole thing was just the CIA trying another tactic to get enough kids into the slacker lifestyle, just like the greaser era, the beatniks and, of course, the fucking hippies. The metal and grunge scenes are no exception, and don't forget rap. Country's no exception either. Realize this people, these categories of entertainment are meant to group people into herds of pre planned personas by those who fabricated it. You know when you see someone dressed a certain way and you might think "I bet that kid likes rap" or whatever stereotype it is; leather jacket ripped jeans (punk), or long hair flannel and skinny jeans. They probably skate right? Hey dipshits, the government planned most of the stereotypes we know today, including racial.
The pitch on this audio sounds between 60 and 80 cents too high. The chords don't sound like A D E, they sound like A# D# E#. Maybe I'm crazy, but Joey's voice doesn't even sound deep enough. All that aside, this is an awesome performance =)
I went to their concerts 26 times. Goddamit Ramones, why did you have to Die? You ruined my entire life by dying. Goddammit to hell! I know you saved Rock 'n Roll, some day these other people will know it too. There are no words in the English language to describe how much I love The Ramones! Da Bruddaz! ;(
