@@HardlyRamone In 53rd and 3rd and in cretin hop, how do you play the open D chord? Do you play an F# on the high E string, do you play it open, or you mute it? Also, when you play the open A, you play also both the low e string and the high e string, right?
@@riccardopaolocci1497 Just the standard F# on the high E with the D chord. I don’t play the low E in the A chord there, but Johnny did do that in some songs. I do get the high E though
If you consider the fact that the number one song in the nation at the time was "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band, then you understand just how radical this stuff was.
I was not aware of that....wow. But one thing I always had a problem with...the Ramones or the Sex Pistols getting most, if not all the credit as in some cases, for the type of music when it was already a thing before either band started. (I do love the Ramones though.)
maybe so, but this is not Prog rock or anything close to being difficult to play.. Now if they sounded like s**t, then you really know they were bad. hahah
Elsewhere on this website is an 18 year-old video of this version of "Loudmouth," which was the first Ramones clip I ever saw on RU-vid. Now, all the men in this clip are gone. The rest is rock 'n' roll.
A belated thank you. This just came up on my whatevers and it's amazing. I hate comparisons, but they were (one of) the greatest and certainly (one of) the purest, most authentic rock'n'roll bands ever.
Having seen this several times before, this actually is a huge improvement on previously available audio. Video even looks a tad bit sharper. Great upload!
Yup I tweaked the footage a little bit, too! Hopefully we'll get a real clean copy of this some day, but at least this one is improved. If you directly compare the audio here to other uploads, it's pretty different indeed
@@BobWas Correct.But just another pop band more than anything else,unoriginal.Rock and Roll hall of fame attendees dont signfy what the punk scene was all about.
I had a bootleg copy of this from @ScottishTeeVee and i gave it to Joey Ramone in Manchester 1989. The band had lost their copies and hadnt seen it for years. Eventually they tracked down a good enough copy to put on their own video release. Perhaps John can explain more of the story?
In the doc, John mentions a recording of, I believe, the third ever show, and speaks of the contrast between that and a few months later. Does anyone have any knowledge as to what exists to be their earliest footage? This upload is priceless, btw.
Late reply, but this is the footage you’re thinking of. It’s from August 1974, one month before the more well known CBGB footage. It’s from a movie called Night Lunch. Im not sure if more footage exists. It’s about 37 seconds of I don’t Care. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tx0kb9WYGHg.htmlsi=X24WRS9Wo348car2
Sex Pistols.They were the first punk band and they released I wanna be me same year.Punk was more about anti establishment and fashion.These lot represented neither.
Johnny said a new song every practice. That's one reason they stayed fresh over the years. THE RAMONES never sold out but would have loved to headline MSG!
I’ve seen your remastering of the Swallow My Pride music video and it’s very great. I was wondering if you’d ever end up doing the Pinhead music video. And speaking of that, I wonder if there were any other “music videos” made for Leave Home songs
According to the biography, they started with some really crappy Mike Matthews amps. Then after the record company kicked in with some money, Johnny used Marshall and Dee Dee bought an Ampeg.
Johnny is playing through a Mike Matthew’s “Freedom Quad Amp” its a 4x10” solid state combo amp, 1 of only 2 made. The other one is actually off camera used for Joey’s lead vocals. So the Ramones had the only 2 of those amps ever made. Mike Matthew’s produce smaller versions of those amp. Many are still around. Dee Dee is playing through a Kustom K-250-1 solid state amp head with a matching 2x15” cabinet. Wonder what happened with this amp. We may never know. :(
@@SouthernVersion Mike Mathews, the same EHX guy? Cool! Funny how, even using a complete different setup, with solid state amps and different sized speakers, they still keep that signature sound.
It sounds even worse, ha! There supposedly is a master copy out there, this is just a bad VHS tape. The master copy has never been released, though. They probably all have tons of mic distortion, but some extra clarity and lack of tape warble would be nice.
@@HardlyRamone si la hay, hace muchos años...creo que estuvo en RU-vid siempre la colocaba para disfrutarlo, de un día para otro la bloquearon o la bajaron y nunca más la encontré no me hice una copia...creyendo que estaría por siempre....pero si se escuchaba mejor sin tanta saturación...creo que fue por allá por el 2008 que la vi 🤔🤔creo.
Much as I love this why the hell Johnny didnt just tell Joey to stop making that bonkers knee move is anyones guess. looks like the poor guys having a fit.
First song just blows the doors off the place...they were totally c.k blocked for years by music industry scum...imo.....this is what a threat looks like...
Loved the Ramones,not Johnny though for his politics,but Joey is so awkward and uncomfortable on stage it's often hard to watch...a geek trying to be cool ...still proud to say though I made his guest list once,and he stroked my mohawk.....
@@sensacionsombria5125 Not saying you did, Johnny did though...punk and pro government in any form don't sit well with me,it's an oxymoron....still love most of their music either way...✌️
@@graemesmith8068 There are no rules for being a punk. If you're a punk you're a punk. Doesn't matter what they preach in their songs. Johnny Ramone was the definition of a punk. And the Ramones are pretty tame when it comes to government. They weren't anti-government, but they were highly critical of it (for example, Bonzo Goes to Bitburg). If you're thinking of anti-government punk you should be thinking of people like GG Allin. If you consider yourself a punk, but then continue to make rules for who can or can't be a punk, you aren't a punk. You're a gatekeeper.
