I saw the Ramones, early on at a country-rock palace in Denver. They were opening for some record-company band, so the local music establishment, and I emphasize the word "establishment," was there in force, and the handful of us who knew the Ramones were up in front. And half the fun was, you know, not only were the Ramones the most powerful band I had ever seen at that point, but they made it look so simple - that anyone could do it, hell, even I could do it. This is what I should be doing. ~ Jello Biafra
Ramones quotes by Jello Biafra
When I got into rap I didn't exactly win any popularity contests. I called myself Dee Dee King, after B.B. King, to the total dismay of my fellow Ramones. ~ Dee Dee Ramone
Ramones quotes by Dee Dee Ramone
I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. The punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. There are a lot of differences among Television, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads. ~ Debbie Harry
Ramones quotes by Debbie Harry
I pop a cassette into the Buick's stereo. It's the Ramones. I turn the volume up high and roll down the windows. The highway air tastes of fumes, but it still feels goddamn good to breathe ~ Hank Moody
Ramones quotes by Hank Moody
We've played with Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Ramones. You name any punk band and we've probably played or toured with them all the way up to and including Soundgarden, who we've toured with three times now. We also toured with Metallica for a year. But yeah, Megadeth was the only one we were a little sketchy about because um, it was a little sketchy. ~ Reed Mullin
Ramones quotes by Reed Mullin
I had a portable 8-track player under all my ramps, cranking one of my four 8-tracks - Cars/'Candy-O,' Ramones/'Road To Ruin,' Cheap Trick/'Heaven Tonight' and the first Devo record. I don't remember skating without music. ~ Jeff Ament
Ramones quotes by Jeff Ament
One of the reasons that the Ramones were so unique and original was that they were four original, unique people. ~ Tommy Ramone
Ramones quotes by Tommy Ramone
Where I grew up, I could be a punk rocker and a jock. But in college, it became apparent that those two worlds didn't mix. When I brought my guitar back to school after Thanksgiving break, a friend handed me his bass and said, 'Listen to the Ramones.' ~ Jeff Ament
Ramones quotes by Jeff Ament
I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol. ~ Dee Dee Ramone
Ramones quotes by Dee Dee Ramone
I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm willing to bet one of my arms right now that as long as there's electricity, Ramones music is going to be relevant. ~ Henry Rollins
Ramones quotes by Henry Rollins
When I was 13, I got my first guitar, and I could sort of play Ted Nugent songs, but I couldn't play the solos. But I could play along with entire Ramones songs. ~ Eddie Vedder
Ramones quotes by Eddie Vedder
We were just a bunch of high school kids who got into the Ramones together. ~ Santiago Durango
Ramones quotes by Santiago Durango
Most frontmen are not born hams like David Lee Roth. We're more like Joey Ramone: awkward geeks who somehow find our place in the world on the stage. ~ Chris Cornell
Ramones quotes by Chris Cornell
I love punk rock, The Clash, The Ramones, The Cramps. I love where it all came from, and music for my ears now, it has to have that same electricity, adrenaline and danger. ~ Imelda May
Ramones quotes by Imelda May
Who's the new Ramones, who's the new Guns 'N Roses, who's the new Motley Crue, who's the new Black Sabbath? They're coming, they're on the street, they're 16, 17 years old. ~ Nikki Sixx
Ramones quotes by Nikki Sixx
I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones. ~ Alan Rickman
Ramones quotes by Alan Rickman
There's nobody as good as the Ramones, never will be. I mean everybody's just emulated us and now everybody just kinda takes our sound as their foundations. ~ Joey Ramone
Ramones quotes by Joey Ramone
The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs. ~ Dee Dee Ramone
Ramones quotes by Dee Dee Ramone
The days are passing so quickly. This is the only time of year when I want to slow time down. I spend the entire year trying to get here as fast as I can, then once I'm here I want to slam on the brakes. I'm beginning to have those moments when the feel of autumn is so strong it drowns out everything else. Lately it's been making me think about the perfect soundtrack for a Halloween party.

The top of any Halloween music list as to be the theme song from the movie Halloween; right on its heels is "Pet Sematary" by the Ramones. For some reason I've always equated the old Van Morrison song "Moondance" with Halloween, too. I love that song. "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus is an October classic, as well as anything by Type O Negative. And Midnight Syndicate. If you've never heard anything by Midnight Syndicate, look them up right this moment. If you distilled the raw essence of every spooky story you ever heard, you would have Midnight Syndicate. I have a friend who swears by them, believing them to be a vital element of any Halloween party. To finish off the list you must have "The Lyre of Orpheus" by Nick Cave and "I Feel Alright" by Steve Earle. ~ Damien Echols
Ramones quotes by Damien Echols
No part of Manhattan these days really has the same vibe I get from a Ramones song or a Velvet Underground song. ~ Ezra Koenig
Ramones quotes by Ezra Koenig
There was this one show in Green Bay when this kid was booing us loud and aggressively. Then The Ramones came on and he was booing them too. We went over to White Zombie's tour manager and said, 'This guy was booing us and that's one thing, but now he's booing The Ramones, and if you boo The Ramones you're booing rock 'n' roll.' So the tour manager went and plucked this kid out of the audience and kicked him out of the show for booing The Ramones. The poor kid had to wait in the cold without his jacket on and wait for his mommy to come and get him, all because he didn't realize what he was doing. Monte: ~ Monte A. Melnick
Ramones quotes by Monte A. Melnick
After the Ramones, it was more about new wave for me than punk. ~ Eddie Vedder
Ramones quotes by Eddie Vedder
I always think the Sex Pistols and the Ramones as very, very important because they stripped things down. ~ Jim Jarmusch
Ramones quotes by Jim Jarmusch
Television sounded really different than the Ramones sounded really different than us sounded really different than Blondie sounded really different than the Sex Pistols. ~ David Byrne
Ramones quotes by David Byrne
It's worked! Our marriage has outlasted all of the world leaders, except for Castro. And if we keep talking, arguing, making love and dancing to the Ramones- it'll probably keep working. ~ Stephen King
Ramones quotes by Stephen King
And some people have less star appeal than others, but sometimes they shine far brighter than those with more. ~ Mickey Leigh
Ramones quotes by Mickey Leigh
It's not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody. ~ Glenn Danzig
Ramones quotes by Glenn Danzig
We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite. ~ Jerry Only
Ramones quotes by Jerry Only
When punk began to be a genre, people were going to go out and try to mine it. Some of the better groups, like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, were very artificial. ~ Iggy Pop
Ramones quotes by Iggy Pop
Punk rock wasn't a career choice. It was a hobby that we did for fun. We never thought we'd get as big as our idols in T.S.O.L. or certainly not the Ramones. ~ Dexter Holland
Ramones quotes by Dexter Holland
The Ramones own the fountain of youth. Experiencing us is like having the fountain of youth. ~ Joey Ramone
Ramones quotes by Joey Ramone
I will absolutely say that Johnny Ramone was a huge influence on me. I'm a giant Ramones fan. ~ Scott Ian
Ramones quotes by Scott Ian
Soundgarden and Metallica, The Ramones, Everclear ... I think they all wanted to see if we still knew how to play. ~ Rick Nielsen
Ramones quotes by Rick Nielsen
I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands, like Bad Religion, cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again. ~ Dee Dee Ramone
Ramones quotes by Dee Dee Ramone
I come from a very musical family. My dad taught me to play guitar. I play violin and drums as well. Violin, I started in elementary school. Drums actually came when I was in a program called 'Rock Star,' which was really awesome. We were doing a song by the Ramones, so I thought, 'Why not play the drums?' ~ Amandla Stenberg
Ramones quotes by Amandla Stenberg
My first Ramones show was at a small club in Columbus, Ohio, in 1978. It was a transformative experience, even though my memories are a little blurry, since someone kicked me in the head halfway through the show, probably during 'Beat on the Brat.' ~ Derf
Ramones quotes by Derf
Ramones or AC/DC are two bands that have managed to keep their signature sound and their signature formula for years and years and album after album after album, without it seeming like a dead-end street. ~ Dave Grohl
Ramones quotes by Dave Grohl
Ramones music has a Pavlovian effect on me - the song starts, and the world blurs around the sound. ~ Henry Rollins
