I saw them in their last tour through Cleveland, with CJ on bass. They skipped their whole middle cataloge and just stuck with the first four and last album, plus "Pet Semetary". It was good, they went out in style, and CJ is an awesome Ramone. By then though, their songs were stretching out to 2.5 minutes +..
CJ is like.. they took the greatest Ramones fan ever and, for his prayers, said "Ey, you gonna play da bass and sing a bit." He always had more fun than any one else at any gig. Including fans.
But this is true raw Ramones at their height. Rock bullion, extra concentrated, 1:50 slabs of pure rock energy.
True story: Joey and Johnny couldn't get NY state drivers licenses because by state standards they were mentally retarded. That is so.. fucking.. PUNK.
