Personal Quotes

[from Tommy Ramone] We are not competing with Bruce Springsteen. What we are doing is in a different vein; we are going in a different direction. We're trying to do rock 'n' roll, trying to bring back the spirit of rock 'n' roll, the spirit of Little Richard and [Elvis Presley]--the thunder of rock 'n' roll!

[from Joey Ramone] We decided to decided to start our own group because we were bored with everything we heard in 1974, there was nothing to listen to anymore. Everything was tenth-generation Led Zeppelin, tenth-generation Elton John, or overproduced, or just junk. Everything was long jams, long guitar solos. We missed music like it used to be before it got "progressive". We missed hearing songs that were short, and exciting and . . . good! We wanted to bring the energy back into rock n' roll.
