Ramones Have Stupid Haircuts ... and other (musical) things that need to be said


Recommended Posts

Bonzo Goes To Bitburg. It's probably my favourite song ever. 

 

I know a story about their haircuts. I heard an interview with their manager years ago and he was talking about how he hated their haircut too and said that one night he was with the band, they pulled into a gas station, and all four Ramones and him went into the store to bought some stuffs. Then the Ramones went back to the van but the manager was still in the store and an old woman approached him and said something like "sir, it's so kind of you to take these people out of the mental institution and watch over them" - all because of the haircut.

Teenage Lobotomy for me. Force of nature that song. I fucking love it. 

I also love their cover of needles and pins. The original was one of my grandads fave songs and I love Joeys voice

I wondered that, but apparently not true as it was written prior to that happening. gatorshrug.gif

Dammit. Everything I know is a lie.

weird band drama.]I can understand why Janet left as this is the biggest turn SK has had in their music. also I'm not sure why Carrie made it a gender issue..unless she meant Janet is a male or something...so odd

They released a song ... I can see why the drummer quit. It's a turd.

I have a real soft spot for My My kind of a Girl (the demo version), What's Your Game and Swallow My Bride too.

Oh, I'm sure she's getting paid for it.

nah, she quit a tour right before. why not just do it and get your sweet, sweet SK money?

She'll still get money from album sales though and I'm sure she gets royalty checks and money from streams. I don't know how big this band is so I'm not sure how alluring a tour would be financially if you don't want to be a part of the band.

well they sell out theatres. eh, if your only a drummer and you can get a good 40-50k (my guess) from a single year worth of touring, I'd do it. even if I hated the album and wanted no part of it, why not?

To each their own, I guess. I'm pretty cynical when it comes to performing and music in general so I can't say I wouldn't do what she did, I guess.
