Qué tendrán los Ramones que ha todo el mundo le gustan. Pasa el tiempo, y siguen en primera línea. Los 4 chicos de Queens, en Nueva York, formarían una de las bandas con más impacto en el mundo de la música. Estas fotos sirvan de homenaje a una de las bandas favoritas de Vinilos Blank Generation.

“The Ramones weren’t the first band to do damage with a distorted power chord, but no one did it quite as raw or fast. That unholy union of speed and power made them the godfathers of punk and the seed that spawned everyone from the Sex Pistols and The Clash to Black Flag and Nirvana.” –Premier Guitar Photo by Lars Tunbjork

«Creatively, the Ramones were more inspired auto mechanics than careful artisans, hammering, grinding and drilling down the sleek vehicles of pop to suit their utilitarian purpose. Stripping away excess is no less a challenge than building up intricacy, and the Ramones — after locating rock ‘n’ roll’s essence — clung to their discovery like Captain Ahab to the white whale.” –Salon, July 1999 Photo by David Godlis

“They did so many encores I lost count. It was five if it was one, and it was probably twice that, I have never seen a band work so hard, push themselves so hard and still stand up ready for more. By the end of course they were a rabble, a travesty of their own simple glory.” –Sounds, May 1977 Ramones at Eric’s in Liverpool May 19th, 1977. Photo by Ian Dickson/Redferns.

“What impressed me about the band was the way they would get ready before the show. Every time before they would go onstage they would warm up like athletes. I’d never seen any band before or since do that.” – Punk (magazine) founder and editor, John Holmstrom. Photo from Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images.

“I was forming some opinions about needing some peace in the world. I could feel a lot of violence and hostility in the air and I needed to try and say something about it.” – Dee Dee Ramone on lyrics for «Too Tough To Die» Photo by Denis O’Regan.
