I'm from Rockaway Beach The recently released "NYC 78" is better. No overdubs in a studio, no fake crowd noise like on "It's Alive", and it has a harder sound. The only complaint is that the bastards edited out 'Judy is a punk' probably just to make it "different" to It's Alive. Like Phast Phreddie said back in '76 regarding the debut LP, "RAMONES" - "Anyone who hates this record is an asshole". The best live album ever! I dont know if anyone else noticed but some guy just said he has never heard of the Ramones. Who hasnt heard of the fucking Ramones.Hate em or Like em you still should have heard of them. What the hell are you doing on this freakin site if you cant even identify the band that started the whole scene. YOu will burn in hell for this. Yeah, I mean they should've conformed to the scene they created and gotten nice neat spikes... fucker. Horrible, horrible band. What the hell? I need an education? obviously you do, they werent the first band to play with distortion and play uptempo, retard. They were the first 'punk' band to make it big. God youre retarded. the ramones first album was the first real punk album. there were tons of proto-punk bands out there that touched on what was to become punk, but that one record was the first to really nail it. why do people keep reviewing bands that no one has heard of? I bet this band sucks bad! There would have been no Clash without the Ramones, idiot. Quit advertising your favorite washed up crappy band, Rancid... The Ramones were an OK band but I would have to say The Clash was alot better and without the clash there wouldnt be the best band around. ~~RANCID~~!!! The Ramones totally rip off AFI!! "They didnt start punk as most you would like to belive" 501, you really need an education... First band to play uptempo and use distortion? The Ramones. Were they musicians? No. Could they play a tight set, with no pauses between songs? Yes. Are their songs excellent to this day? Of course. Ask any member of a punk band if they think the Ramones "suck a good amount of balls" and I don't think their response would be "yeah, I totally hate the people that created the genr of music I play!" God your taste in music is disgusting... Everyone on this webpage quotes ' Blood Brothers are over-rated, FATA sucks... blah blah blah RAMONES ROCK ' im not a fan of either band, but the ramones are... how can you say the ramones are classic? They didnt start punk as most you would like to belive, they sucked balls fairly well, and my god wheres the talent you all speak of??? This band was horrible. The very first Pop Punk band if you want to say they were a first at something. Please, stop it with this band. the greatest band band. ever. Why don't you guys grow up and admit this was the most influencial band ever. Why are you reading it? You can't tell me you never heard of them before this. "That's bullshit, greatly influential, yes. Greatest ever? Hell no." That's bullshit, greatly influential, yes. Greatest ever? Hell no. the ramones are the greatest band of all time. nothing more, nothing less Oh no, an internet beatdown, what are you going to do, have me download a video clip of you throwing a punch and have me send you one back of me acting hurt? Yes. Yes you are. Im the only person in the world who doesn't like this band. "Because AC/DC are a crappy hard rock/metal band that were never original or any good... How about that?" "Oh and why was that one dude pissed of about mentioning ACDC in a Ramones review?" Great album...I dunno if you could call any of the Ramone's songs hits, since they never had a top 40 song in the US...Why the fuck does everyone hate loco live? That album is fuckin awesome. True Joey's voice may not be the same but it shows the alcohol grated chords of one of the greatest singers ever...Oh and why was that one dude pissed of about mentioning ACDC in a Ramones review? of the 5 live ramones albums i have, this is the best. Well, you definitely got that right - this record is much better than Loco Live. Oddly enough, it was released in England in '79, but not in America cos the record company wanted a studio album instead...corporate bastards. The sound is about as strong as it gets for live albums... i had this record for about a day and i let my friend borrow it and i never saw it again. bastard. the only thing i remember about this record was that the sound quality was really weak, that was kind of disappointing. i'll stick with the regular albums. I didn't give this a 10 because the review basically sucked and I can't believe he mentioned AC/DC in a review of a Ramones' album. must-have. essential. classic. nuff said Essential. Classic. |
