The Ramones

One of the greatest bands ever. Just shows you don't have to be all prog to write great songs. Those sings simply haven't aged a day.

The only song of this band I could listen entirely(with some effort though) is Merry Christmas:

But the vocalist had a nice timbre on voice.
The clip remember me my second wife. :deadhorse:

I am a beginner guitar player and I just learned my favorite song "I don't wanna go down to the basement" in five minutes, the whole damn song. And it's a riot to play along with my stereo cranked.

Now to learn Blitzkrieg Bop and I can sleep happy  :thumb:

He did have an awesome voice for that band, it couldn't  have been any more perfect. I always liked this one

I keep hitting that one album but it's the one I know best.

This song also good. Singing screaming ruin the throat vocal cords.
Adele screamed a lot and had surgery the cords.

Some friends and I are going to begin practicing music together, I think Ramones is actually the perfect way to start, nice and easy. It's easy to play but it's also quite a workout, lots of double stops and chords and relentless fast strumming. If we can bang out a cover of that album front to back we'll have accomplished something.

Play a instrument is a great thing to learn, unfortunately it not at my reach. :duh:
This other song also good too:

not your reach? Why?  :lol:

Hey I hadn't heard that one, that's a good one too. See proof that simple music can be good too, it doesn't always have to sound like musical spaghetti to be worthy.

oh, that is too bad Gustavo.

... You know something, you might appreciate this here:

It's not expensive, and can mimick any sound really, and you don't have to press down hard (there's no strings on the fretboard)

If you watch the whole thing, you will see it's capable of sounding very nice too.

Thanks for the tip.
I even had a Telecaster, a Hartke HA3500 and a 4x10 cabinet I do myself.
But the whole thing is in the hands, the guitar sound great even without amplification.
The prob Iam too lazy... the Tele is 8 years in the case. :green:

Ramones goes Jazz:

I just finished watching Rock and Roll High School on Netflix. It kicked Zappa's "200 Motels" right in the nuts, both films rock band based shlock from the 70's. Again proving simpler can be better. Both suck, but the Ramones flick is watchable and the musical performance is awesome.

When my friends and I play I want us to do like the Ramones and not stop playing, just blast right into the next song, freaking awesome. 1 2 3 4!

The Ramones, IMHO, are the most overrated band of all time. Well, maybe second most overrated behind the Sex Pistols.
