Ramones is the grafitti you will read on every wall in Argentina. They've been hugely popular here for ages.

I was working at the front desk at The Chateau Marmont in 2000 and they were having a private party for Sofia Coppola releasing a new wine. Tons of celebs in the lobby as usual there. Very surreal moment when Nic Cage, Marilyn Manson, and Johnny walked in together. He was a fish out of water. He sat in a chair 10 feet away from me by the magazine rack by himself. We talked a bit. So fucking sweet. Very humble and kind. I hated working there because of all of the ridiculous egos. He was such a gem. Love the dude. Rest in peace.

kenny bennett Good to know.
Really sad, he even sounds different but you can tell he's still got the drive.
He knew he was dying at this point. He was very very tough. I never met him. But he brought me so much joy and I will love him until I die myself.

Totally. To steal a term from those disgusting rappers, Johnny Ramone was 'the realest' rock legend to ever live. He was as real and authentic as they get. Knew what he believed in and stood by it. Dude was a real 'working musician'. The guy, along with this bandmates', took a childhood dream and made it happen. I have nothing but respect for the man. On top of that, the most important thing he did was inspire countless of young people to pick up a guitar. He proved that you don't have to be a virtuoso to be a great player or write good songs. Build your skills, but don't forget to serve the song. Respect.

well he must have gotten tough after he attained fame. I knew John in addition to the rest of the Ramones prior to them becoming the Ramones. We were just a bunch of friends from Queens NY who all had the same love for British Rock ... 60's and 70's. One summer night We ( John, Tommy, Dee and Jeff Salen - Tuff Darts) drove out to Long Island to a club called Zero's in Glen Cove. Jeff and I had gone out there a few times because of the "Long Island Girls". Anyway, there was always a long line to get in but the club never pulled the bullshit that the NYC clubs did by picking and choosing who they would let in on a particular night. Anyway .. there were a bunch of typical "Long Island" guys who were getting a little loud and raucous and John said "hey those guys look like trouble and I don't want to get my ass beaten ... Dee and Tommy nodded in agreement but Jeff and I called them pussies .. Since it was John's car that we went in, we didn't have much of a choice but to leave ... real tough guys the Ramones were back then ... but still loved them none the less. They're all gone now ( including Jeff).

The words and tone of his voice said it all.
These people are so irreplaceable. We'll never see their likes again. The Ramones may not have been commercially successful but they left quite a legacy behind them.

100% and influenced popular culture. There are two bands in my opinion that made western culture travel the courses that it did. Iggy and the Stooges and The Ramones. Research the history and look how it became. There is no question about it.
Johnny had the best stance on stage
Soldier till the end. Thank you Ramones.
I'm 47 now, I've been a fan of the RAMONES since about age 13. As a kid, not so much, but as an adult, not a single day goes by that I don't listen to a RAMONES song. (If not an album or two.) They have always been a huge part of my life.

Too Tough To Quit, love Johnny. Love The Ramones. Legends and indeed bigger than ever
Loved when he was asked if the younger punk bands that came out way after their time, getting more recognized and more successful than the Ramones, if that pissed off Johnny, Johnny's response was "I'm happy to see rock n roll still alive" What a class act man. He's a true musician at heart through and through, never about the money or fame.
I met him a few times, so friendly and welcoming.
Hi absolutely loved Johnny
R.I.P. Johnny.
Its so sad that he's gone.

It definitely is. Of all of the musicians we have lost over the years, he is the one that I miss the most. It is heartbreaking that he didn't get to live to see what kind of legacy he and the band left and how truly love they are. Even worst is that he worked his ass off for so many years, saving his money to buy his dream home, retired...and then died shortly after. It is heartbreaking. Dude was the man. Coolest dude to ever live, imo. He stood by what he believed in and made no apologies. Everyone could learn about how to be a man from Johnny Ramone.
Fire until the end. Loved what he did and gave to the world. Thank you Johnny!
Johnny Ramone was a badass, RIP
Thanks for your humanity Love the Ramones always ❤
Had both a great baseball card collection and a great "cheesecake" collection. A musician with good sense. Miss ya, dude.
Johnny, tough New York dude. Under that cool facade was probably a sweet human being. The thing is, I believe living in New York you harden up or just get stomped. Johnny was no nonsense, all business and perhaps that’s why the band never fell apart. Like Iggy said, “We got no V for victory, cuz we know things are tougher.” Johnny knew.
Johnny had a great smile. When he smiled he looked very handsome

I never saw Johnny smile except for this one photo. Can't hardly believe they are all dead, with exception to Markey. VIVE LOS RAMONES!!
I love these interviews but hate that you can feel the pain in Johnny’s voice. As you get older and you have more experiences with cancer patients, you start to understand more where they’re coming from. Certainly more than I did the first time I heard this interview many years ago as a teenager.
I lived in Jersey City in my youth and I worked in Manhattan and I would very occasionally see Joey or Johnny walking down the street never approached them because you don't do that there. Grateful for that at least.
My favorite band after the Beatles. They busted their balls touring / recording constantly but were ignored by radio and much of the general public. I'll never forget those CBGB shows, great memories.
died 16 years ago today! RIP Johnny!
Yeahhh I was bummed out when I heard Johnny was gone..."sigh"
Still love the Ramones! Miss those guys
This was great, thanks!
Long live the ramones for ever..rip🙏🙏never forget them..he talks the truth..i stared listen the ramones when I was 8 yrs old in Mexico city..every one listen to them. When I came to the USA..nobody here know them I brought a shirt of the ramones and they think it was a Mexican band lol..
A Republican that rocked! Thanks for that Johnny. Proud I grew up and live in the home of The Ramones!

It's nice to hear how people from so many other countries loved and love them, as you hear mentioned in this clip, somewhat to his bemusement. I was lucky in a way, I was there in NY, I saw them at Toad's Place once, wow was that loud, and I even had a date, one date, with Joey Ramone, in the Bowery no less one winter's day. It was excellent in such desperate times and places -- really what art and rock 'n' roll are all about. xo
This documentary changed my life.
Hey! Ho!-Let's go! Thankyou for the post.
Rest in peace joey johnny+dee Dee,I hope your in a happy place God bless you amen 💙✌

This was the final interview Johnny Ramone did and it was on the KFOG morning show in San Francisco.
This man epitomized the aspects of being a republican that I loved. It's something I don't see in a lot of republicans today sadly. Both sides are more content with blaming each other than getting anything done. I'm glad the Ramones never got into political bullshit. RIP, Johnny.

Hard to believe he was just days away from passing on....
A true punk rock hero,the seventies made some great bands
Beautiful pic at 2:30, he's poised, powerful and ready to pounce! I wanted to have Joey's lovechild but Mightn't intensity was palpable even when we was just sitting there.
If had to immediately pick one Ramones Song to crank up through the airwaves I'd love it be Poison Heart - Mondo Bizarro might very well their best album .
rip boys
🎸✝🎼🎤💉 the best band 🎸🎼 old school 🎸🎼
ohfoolishworkerbee Ah, well, he wouldn't be very sad if at all, they were considered friends but, Johnny had a strong dislike of Joey. He teased him, bullied him, beat him up, so talking about his death would only really semi-sound sad. Not to mention that he was sick during this time and I'm quite sure that he's more concerned about doing things before his inevitable death and settling the dust between things. A death in business sucks quite frankly, and ya know, dealing with an estate is no easy task.
Especially in this day , I Love and Respect Conservatives' Simple Truth & Logic
RIP taken 9yrs ago today
It was posted to youtube oct 2011.
If had to immediately pick one Ramones Song to crank up through the airwaves I'd love it be Poison Heart - Mondo Bizarro , as a whole , might very well be their best album and the First & Road to Ruin ... so many great songs , some average ones too but the good ones are exceptionally Great Indeed
First, let’s be clear: no single member of the band WAS the band. This is evidenced by the fact that none of their individual endeavors surpassed the success or recognition of the Ramones. Second, I am amused by the left vs right comment war. It’s ironic cause I view art as being un-political. Last, this was a pretty interesting piece of material. It’s a rare glimpse into the mind of someone totally unique who took an unlikely situation and made it work, and I’m ever thankful that KZread allows for little moments like this to be shared and enjoyed.

He was the "bad guy",you know,but the bad guys are always the best,i mean,he was a punk,he had to be tough,too tough to die!
He says, (when asked if he was actively involved) "I always left it to the director"...which means to my ear, he actually ha editorial control...Perhaps he was a producer, or executive producer? i.e. he put bucks in. Anyway, that's fine if it were so.
Very interesting to hear him say that if anything bothers him, it's their peers becoming bigger than them when there's a famous clip used in the EOTC docu-film (the bit with the Blondie clip) where johnny says it doesn't at all bother him.

True but that clip is from 81 so they probably thought down the road they be more successful sooner. But then the fact that there peers continued to outsell them in the late 80s and early 90s probably botherd him
