It's not really their fault, that their parents are sorta connected to the music biz.
And hey, all Ramones songs have the same beat, but in my view 'it's alive' is still a classic.

That was 1975.

excuse me for nitpicking, but it was '77

The Ramones formed in '74. They signed to Sire in '75.

This band with the stupid name is not the Ramones.

Not even close.

The more shocking it seems, that two years later they still had only one beat at their disposal. And that's with Joey moving away from the drumkit.
I'm sure BYOP will be able to manage at least two kinda rhythms in a couple of years, now that Jamine has quit.

Do you honestly think that Ramones is actually a clever name? Well, that would have been the only clever thing about them then, wouldn't it?
Just curious.

For some strange reason I have yet to hear this band, even though I'm *groan* cyber-friends with the bass player Nathan. He has great taste in music, and, being such a young kid, has a nice grasp of music history. It wouldn't be fair for me to vote at this point. I just wanted to stick-up for my boy.

Go Nathan.

that's the spirit

Im beginning to understand why music from Germany sucks.
