dalsh327 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 This is pretty rare for just the two of them (the main songwriters) to be interviewed like this, and pretty coherent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the later interviews, where joey is more out of his shell and outspoken, he was actually a really funny guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) My favorite Ramone has always been Dee Dee, at once silly, childish, playful, irrational, irritable, engaging, senseless, immensely talented, just wonderful in all senses. The man wrote songs, books, played bass, was kinda like a counter-culture icon, gave The Ramones a lot of their hard street edge and darkness, he was mates with Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan and that whole fuckin' scum under-class of the New York Scene. There was something so...unrehearsed about him, about the things he said and felt and did, like there was not a lot of forethought involved and it was kinda led by some kinda weird instinct.

DR DOOM Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Joey was an interesting guy too, I remember an interview he did with metal hammer or mag like that where he said Roxy Music's Country Life is the best album cover.But I just saw a pic of Ashba in a Ramones shirt, so they are now officially ruined for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yeah, I saw that shirt too. First time without Monster/AshbaSwag ? Last week BBF wore a shirt with the Ramones logo, but the Beatles' names on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Dee would get a smack in the mouth for fucking up, he drilled them on their presentation, he's a really really straight talking guy, pulls absolutely no punches, don't care if a thing to say is the 'right' thing to say, really a...i wouldn't say cold exactly but a very...things just were what they were to Johnny Ramone and there was no bullshit, no grey area, everything was just straightforward.
