@@petermarsden4727 It's hardly fair to blame Marky. Dee Dee battled with drugs for years, he started well before the Ramones. It's hard work trying to function when an addict is part of the process, everyone who was involved with him was on his case to clean up and from time to time he did do.

This video is a time capsule from the time the Ramones still walked among us.

Joey was hillarious in this one and Dee Dee he is so fucking hot and talented, so is Joey. RIP to them both and Johnny and Tommy as well, hey ho lets go !

I was born in 87 but this made me feel like I was living in 77. It really put me there. Never seen anything like it. Live TV show while smoking, drinking and cutting calls off? A guy who brings beers in a briefcase? All casually siting in regular chairs without following almost any protocol? Loved it all. Everything's so "take it or leave it" kinda of a deal. It is what it is. The Ramones, as everything that came to change the game and direction of things, did bother people a lot as happened with The Stones, The Beatles, and the early rock n roll movement in general. I feel that Dee Dee and Joey would always give a better interview than Johnny. They're more fun and relaxed. Loved the girl that called at 40:33. She was really into music. She knew about producers, labels, tours and record releases. This video is a gem. Thanks for uploading.

Wow, Aliece was spot on in calling the band to come and play Brazil. This is a little piece of RnR history!!

I am glad that you appreciated this video on the Ramones come back soon to see more video's from this time that we will be posting

It was a great show they were brilliant and I had a great time every time I was with Joey thanks for the comment

This might just be the best video on KZread! Dee Dee seemed to really want to answer everyone's questions, no matter how weird - very attentive guy. Putting all the effects on Joey when he was just awkwardly sipping on a beer was hilarious too.

holy shit, I was 14, god how I wish I had a time machine and could turn back time and know what I know now..love the Ramones

And, it was their Johnny Blitz for whom they were doing the benefit. Pretty cool.

Man, Arturo looks crazy awesome.

Just goes to show that even before the Internet, people would go out of their way to call someone gay. Nothing changed except for technology. Bravo to the Ramones for taking it in stride.

Damn, Joey's such a stud. 😍

How funny that they had Brazilian fans back then who didn't even need to hear the music

Man I wish I could give them a hug. However looks like they get a nice buzz on so it's ok.

Bless you for preserving and sharing this clip. What a fabulous time capsule.

PS I wish you could reupload your clip with Debbie and Chris of Blondie, from around the same period. Thank you!
