00:00This is Rock and Roll Radio. Come on, let's rock and roll with the Ramones.

00:09This is where we used to hang out a lot.

00:12Any girls in Forest Hills would leave there to find a man somewhere else.

00:17It wasn't cool to be from Queens.

00:19In the early 1970s, New York was empty.

00:22The reason we played CBGBs was there was no place to play.

00:25I mean, these guys were not hippies.

00:26You know, this was something completely new.

00:28And the noise of it was just, it just hit me.

00:39Like white heat, you know, you couldn't put a cigarette paper between one tune ending and the next beginning.

00:47Like, couldn't have got tighter, you know, if you'd been in New Orleans all your life.

00:51The Ramones were all crazy.

00:53I mean, can you imagine being in a van with TD and Johnny and Joey for the rest of your life?

00:57Johnny was troubled.

00:59He punched Dee Dee in the head after the show of the Mr. Fim.

01:03And Joey was troubled.

01:04He was so frail.

01:05He was always getting sick.

01:07They were all troubled.

01:11Come on, let me.

01:13Come on, let me.

01:14We play so loud and all the amps couldn't take it.

01:18But now we got these amps that they, they can, they're really, they, they work.

01:29I mean, those songs are classic American pop songs.

01:33Why weren't they played on the radio?

01:35Ah, there was other things going on, but I can't talk about it.

01:40Joey was seeing this girl and John stole her away from him.

01:43They came, they came, they took my baby away.

01:46They took her away, away from me.

01:49That was the weird thing about it.

01:50They'd stay together, but they'd hate each other.

01:53Well, I guess it's like it was an ugly life somehow.

01:57It's not easy being in a rock and roll band.

02:00It's not easy being in a rock and roll band.
