RIP Ramones! Dee Dee is actually a very cool, chill, down to earth, and even kind of a bit shy guy, beneath that surly demeanor, if you can believe it or not. Was lucky enough to hang out with him in 2001 after a performance by The Remains (aka The Ramainz), which was a tribute band to The Ramones, with Marky Ramone and Dee Dee's wife Barbara Zampini.
unclemort1960 Right!! I've said the same thing many times. Even as a little kid when I first heard them, they have always had that bubblegum surf Punk pop sound to them. That's what I think makes them so extraordinary amazing! The pistols, The Clash, none of them can hold a candle to The Ramones
At 1:02, you can see someone playing chords but there`s no music coming out. The guy missed the break! It`s proof they played at least that guitar from a recorded track. That means they faked it on stage.
there are different "It's Alive" releases. The CD version has been recorded in London. In the video/DVD version there are different live Pinhead versions, including the one from the CD. One should ask first which Pinhead version is this one.
@@lukeofboredom3534 - The truth is that "It's Alive" isn't really live but re-done in studio... Everbody knows it... Some videos from that evening have the same sound of the CD but only because the audio has been eventually overdubbed... That's the truth about most of those live records... Check what CJ Ramones said about Loco Live: "... But to do the amount of overdubs that were done, including drums! I have never heard of anybody doing drum overdubs. Never heard of that! Overdubbing hi-hats, cymbals and snare - I had never heard of that before. And the record just sounded so unbelievably not live and oversaturated that it lost its entire live feel. It lost its entire live feel. It was such a bad idea. What did the tapes sound like before they did the overdubs? The live tracks themselves didn't sound -- it never really sounded like a super-exciting Ramones show. It just never sounded like a really, really exciting Ramones show. I think everyone was too conscious of the fact that we were being recorded, and it sounded a little bit on the stiff side from the get-go."
@@pit2ryan3 Cleaned up, yes. Here is an original footage from that concert and honestly they sound the same. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uD4xbgYja7s.html
@@saharatul - Not only "cleaned up"... All the vocals are re-done in studio, all the original mistakes (especially by Dee Dee) have been corrected and so on... Not a real "live album", as it happens most of the cases with live albums... From the web: "Not long ago I read an interview with Marky Ramone where he revealed that "It's Alive" actually has a lot of studio overdubs! According to him, they kept the live drum track and did just about everything else in studio."
