  • Rhino Reissues the Ramones' First Four Albums
    2011-07-11 09:13 CEST Rhino Reissues The Ramones’ First Four Albums NOW I WANNA SNIFF SOME WAX Rhino Reissues The Ramones’ First Four Albums Both Versions Available July 19 Hey, ho, let’s go. Rhino celebrates the Ramones’ indelible musical legacy with reissues of the pioneering group’s first four albums on 180-gram vinyl. Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket To Russia and Road To Ruin look amazing and come in accurate reproductions of the original packaging. More importantly, the records sound magnificent and were made using lacquers cut from the original analog masters by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. For these releases, Rhino will – for the first time ever on vinyl – reissue the first pressing of Leave Home, which includes “Carbona Not Glue,” a track that was replaced with “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker” on all subsequent pressings. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy Ramone. The original line-up – along with Marky Ramone who joined in 1978 – helped blaze a trail more than 30 years ago with this classic four-album run. It’s hard to overstate how influential the group’s signature sound – minimalist rock played at maximum volume – was at the time, and still is today. These four landmark albums – Ramones (1976), Leave Home (1977), Rocket To Russia (1977) and Road to Ruin (1978) – contain such unforgettable songs as: “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “Sheena Is Punk Rocker,” “Beat On The Brat,” “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue,” “Pinhead,” “Rockaway Beach” and “I Wanna Be Sedated.” RAMONES Side One Side Two 1. “Blitzkrieg Bop” 1. “Loudmouth” 2. “Beat On The Brat” 2.

  • RAMONES the Sire Years 1976-1981 Die Ersten Sechs Alben Der Punkrock-Pioniere in Einer Box!
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] RAMONES The Sire Years 1976-1981 Die ersten sechs Alben der Punkrock-Pioniere in einer Box! „Hey ho, let’s go!” Mit diesem Schlachtruf begann eine Epoche. Bei allen Diskussionen, wer nun wo den Punkrock erfunden habe, steht eine Tatsache außer Zweifel: Die RAMONES haben ihn auf den Punkt gebracht wie keine andere Band. Sie nahmen den dahinsiechenden Rock’n’Roll unter ihre Mähnen, erfanden ihn neu und gaben ihm die Kraft und Innovation zurück, die irgendwo zwischen Woodstock und Progrock verlorengegangen war. 1974 in Forest Hill, Queens, NYC, gegründet, waren die RAMONES neu, authentisch und kreierten einen aufwühlenden Sound, der zur Hebamme einer der lebhaftesten Musikstile aller Zeiten wurde: Punkrock. Mit der 6-CD-Box RAMONES: The Sire Years (1976-1981) präsentieren Rhino Records das Erbe einer der innovativsten Bands in einer umfassenden Box, die die bedeutendsten Alben des Quartetts in einer längst fälligen Sammlung vereint: Ramones (1976), Leave Home (1977), Rocket To Russia (1977), Road To Ruin(1978), End Of The Century (1980) bis Pleasant Dreams (1981) – sämtlich mit ursprünglichen Tracklistings und Original- Artwork. Das Debüt der RAMONES aus dem Jahr 1976 war zugleich ein Manifest und eine Aufforderung zum musikalischen Aufstand, der zahllose Fans anspornte, selbst die Gitarre in die Hand zu nehmen. 14 Songs brauchten gerade mal eine Gesamtlänge von 32 Minuten. Reduziert auf das Nötigste, erreichte keine der Nummern die 3-Minuten Marke – die meisten blieben sogar unter zwei Minuten. Und es waren Klassiker, die da über die Musikwelt hereinbrachen: „Blitzkrieg Bop“, „Beat On The Brat“, „Judy Is A Punk“ und „I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend“.

  • Az Archetipikus Csövigyerek-Banda: Ramones
    Koko Kommandó Az archetipikus csövigyerek-banda: Ramones Többé-kevésbé mindenkinek megvan az egy vagy több életre szóló esete. Az én LEG-eim között a legeslegesebb a RAMONES. Amikor 1976 végén az Újvidéki Rádióba megérkeztek az első punk lemezek (Sex Pistols, Patti Smith Group, The Clash, Dr. Feelgood, The Stranglers, Ramones), mindjárt lecsaptam rájuk - megéreztem, tudtam, hogy ez az, ami nekem kell, ez az én zeném. A Judy Is A Punk szédületes tempója egyből kiakasztott. Igen, „szerelem első pillantásra" volt, vagy operettmagyarul: szerelem első vérig. A Ramones számaival való találkozás alapélmény volt. Reménytelen, boldog szerelem, hiszen csak metafizikai viszonzásról beszélhettünk. Ez a zene soha nem hagyott cserben, soha nem volt hozzám hűtlen, soha nem okozott fájdalmat. A legnehezebb pillanatokon segített, lendített át. Szilárd pont az életemben. A nők jöttek-mentek, s mára az otthonomból és a munkahelyemről is elüldöztek. Azon az 1991-es novemberi napon, amikor még katonai engedély nélkül távozhattam a szerb birodalomból, a Ramones-kazetták ott lapultak a poggyászomban. Egy ilyen elfogult vallomás után illene valamit mondani a zenekarról, s nem utolsósorban a zenéről, amit játszanak _ hisz errefelé nem sok szó esett róluk. A legjelentősebb magyar rock- kritikusok ugyan számon tartják őket, de a tömérdek lapban s a rádiókban szinte semmit sem találni róluk. Egyszóval: siralmas állapot. Mintha depressziós lenne ez az ország zeneileg. We're A Happy Family A Ramones 1974-ben alakult. Kezdetben három queens-i fiú, John Cummings, Douglas Colman és Jeffry Hyman alkotta. Johnny és Dee Dee gitáron játszott, míg Joey dobolt. Thomas Erdélyi menedzserként szorgoskodott, de aztán átvette a dobokat Joey-tól, aki előrement énekesnek.

  • The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Not All Killed by John Wayne: The Long History of Indigenous Rock, Metal, and Punk 1940s to the Present A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in American Indian Studies by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 © Copyright by Kristen Le Amber Martinez 2019 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Not All Killed by John Wayne: Indigenous Rock ‘n’ Roll, Metal, and Punk History 1940s to the Present by Kristen Le Amber Martinez Master of Arts in American Indian Studies University of California Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Maylei Blackwell, Chair In looking at the contribution of Indigenous punk and hard rock bands, there has been a long history of punk that started in Northern Arizona, as well as a current diverse scene in the Southwest ranging from punk, ska, metal, doom, sludge, blues, and black metal. Diné, Apache, Hopi, Pueblo, Gila, Yaqui, and O’odham bands are currently creating vast punk and metal music scenes. In this thesis, I argue that Native punk is not just a cultural movement, but a form of survivance. Bands utilize punk and their stories as a conduit to counteract issues of victimhood as well as challenge imposed mechanisms of settler colonialism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, notions of being fixed in the past, as well as bringing awareness to genocide and missing and murdered Indigenous women. Through D.I.Y. and space making, bands are writing music which ii resonates with them, and are utilizing their own venues, promotions, zines, unique fashion, and lyrics to tell their stories.

The two phenomena fed into each other and spiraled out of control. In a matter of months, a veritable revolution changed the way music was produced, played and heard. The old rock stars were forgotten and new rock stars began setting new trends. As far as white popular music goes, it was a sort of Renaissance after a few years of burgeoisie icons (think: Bowie), conservative sounds (country-rock, southern boogie) and exploitation of minorities (funk, reggae). During the 1970s alternative rock had survived in niches that were highly intellectual, namely German rock and progressive-rock (particularly the Canterbury school). They were all but invisible to the masses. 1976 was the year when most of those barriers (between "low" and "high" rock, between "intellectual" and "populist", between "conservative" and "progressive", between "star" and "anti-star") became not only obsolete but meaningless.

    http//dx.doi.org/10.15448/21778-3748.2019.1.32926 Trajetórias de vida em perspectiva histórica: Joey Ramone e Marky Ramone Life trajectories in historical perspective: Joey Ramone and Marky Ramone Fernando Mendes Coelho1 Resumo: este artigo tem como objetivo discutir alguns elementos que marcaram a geração de jovens norte-ame- ricanos dos anos 1960 e do início dos anos 1970, a qual, após o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, experimentou um período de insatisfação política e social, que levou a inúmeras contestações frente aos comportamentos conservadores estabelecidos até então. Desta forma procuraremos, a partir da análise de alguns trechos de obras autobiográfica e biográfica dos músicos Marky Ramone e Joey Ramone, identificar como os jovens, an- tes de se tornarem astros do rock mundial, enfrentavam os dilemas políticos e culturais dos Estados Unidos, como a repulsa à Guerra do Vietnã, os atritos com a geração dos seus pais e a negação ao movimento hippie. Discutiremos que o surgimento da contracultura apresentou diversas vertentes e, que em contradição aos que apenas queriam paz e amor, havia nos subúrbios urbanos algo mais agressivo, que veio posteriormente a se estruturar como o movimento punk. Todos esses elementos perpassam as incertezas dos anos de juventude dos nossos personagens, que são o centro do objeto da pesquisa, e com a utilização de análises biográficas como fontes de pesquisa histórica, procuraremos explorar as possibilidades metodológicas deste campo teórico para consolidar a argumentação desta pesquisa. Palavras-chave: Contracultura. Punk rock. Juventude. Estados Unidos. Abstract: this article aims to discuss some elements that marked the generation of American youth of the 1960s and early 1970s, which, after the end of World War II, experienced a period of political and social discontent that led to numerous conservative behaviors ​​established so far.
