Words matter. These are the best Johnny Ramone Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
For all my success with the Ramones, I carried around fury and intensity during my career. I had an image, and that image was anger. I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.
As far as film goes, I enjoy all Hollywood films and all Horror films like The Bride of Frankenstein, which also might be my favorite. I like 60’s and 70’s Italian and Spanish Horror films.
I think most bands probably peak on their first album. We peaked on our third album. On the first album, I feel like I wish the production was a little better. I’ll always hear a song I don’t like. I look for what I could have done to make it better. It’s always difficult for me to listen.
Republicans let this happen over and over, and there is never anyone to stick up for them. They spend too much time defending themselves.
My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It’s crucial not to blow it. It sets the tempo of the show; it affects everyone’s perception of the band.
‘Rocket to Russia’ is, I think, my favorite Ramones record. We reached our peak at that point.
I had a good career. I’ve been very fortunate.
I’m just honored that people still like us and people are still nice to me.
I try to make a dent in people when I can. I figure people drift toward liberalism at a young age, and I always hope that they change when they see how the world really is.
I don’t need much more money, and I thought that when I retired that nobody would want to talk to me anymore. Then I did, and people still want to talk to me.
If I didn’t like someone, I wouldn’t want him calling me up when I was dying. I wouldn’t want them having regrets that they didn’t talk to me.
Cancer softened me up. I like the old me better. I liked being angry. It made me feel strong.
I never liked blues and I really didn’t like jazz. I liked Chuck Berry.
Europe was a horrible place. There was nothing on TV. The food was terrible. And they don’t even have ice. Who doesn’t have ice?
