Oy! Dunno what happened before the interviewer taped this but he sure could've use a chill pill and some more knowledge. Too much coffee and too little planning. Joey is the consummate professional; under control, at ease, taking it light. Richie's quiet but I don't blame him.
Here's the interviewer talking about the interview lol: "One that I remember, and it turns out that it's not exactly the way I tell it because someone found a videotape of it. It's all kind of mangled up, but it’s the spirit of it. How I remember it. It was with Joey Ramone, and I don’t know who else. One of the other Ramones. Joey had the sunglasses on all the time, and he had the bangs sometimes over his head like a sheepdog. I think I was dressed in army fatigues or something. I must have turned him off right away. The first thing we do when we come on is me saying, “you’re were late because you were spending so much time in goddamn makeup, right?” They go, “yeah sure.” You know, put down these hardcore punkers that took so long. They weren't very giving. I would ask questions and I thought they were pretty well-thought-out questions, and I would get these horrible almost monosyllabic answers. It’s getting tedious because they're doing the Ramones thing. We play a video, and then I get a pair of hair scissors, and when we come back I warn him; “if I get any more monosyllabic answers, I'm going to cut your bangs.” And he says, “I will take those scissors from you, and I'll slash your throat.” I went, “wow, that's rock n’ roll.”

Ugh just had to emphasize how bad this interviewer is, I cringe at everything he says, Ramones rule but this interview guy is the absolute worst how did he get hired wtf terrible terrible terrible
