Hey Ho, Let's go- see this movie

[Quinoa1984 · 9/10 · 23 September 2001]

Never released in theaters, this documentary on the Ramones in they're final days (the final tour in 1996) is remarkably insightful into how the Ramones rose into the three cord punk sensation which came about more than a dozen albums, 2263 shows, and a whole lot of other stuff. Another thing is the fans, which we see as being obscure ones and famous ones (we don't even need to mention Lemmy). Also included are often hilarious and rockin TV appearances (Uncle Floyd, The Simpsons, Swedish TV) and of course interviews with the original members of the band. Everything is set together very finely, and even though it ever was released it should've been, even as a indie pic. Only flaws are sometimes shambled cinematography and a un-needed interview with Jello Biafra (well, they don't look like the stooges). Otherwise, must see and must listen; CD is included. Highlight songs include the classics and lesser known ones: Blitzkrieg Bop, Pet Semetary, Teenage Lobotomy, Beat on the Brat. A

The last hurrah on a great band...

Some people may not like the Ramones. That's fine. But if you do, this video is for you. The band records their final show live and performs with several guest stars, including Jello Biafra, Debbie Harry (of Blondie fame), Richard Hell and Eddie Vedder. Everyone was pumped and eager to make this the best night possible. Tragically, the Ramones would never really get credit for their works in their time. Only after Joey died were they elected to the rock and roll hall of fame.

Still, this video's worth a look if you can find it...

It's so great I almost cried

Let me begin by saying I love the Ramones - so I am perhaps overdoing my review, but I don't think so.

This film covers everything you could ever want and leaves you wanting more. Unfortunately it is the last concert they ever did and probably ever will do (show number 2,263 - August 6, 1996).

There are some FANTASTIC interviews with folks like Richard Hell, Jello Biafra, Debbie Harry - I could go on forever here. They mix in the last concert along with interviews of the guys, old video footage from 1974 at CBGBs, and they even have a small segment from Uncle Floyd, Sha-Na-Na, and some other shows. Then they throw in some home videos and 8mm from their world wide travels.

I loved Lifestyles of the Ramones greatly - but this one takes the cake. 100% recommended!
