As a teenager growing up in Queens New York in the late '70's and early 80's, to my friends and I the Ramones were "our" band. We would see them every time they were back in town, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhatten, Long Island, it didn't matter. What mattered was Joey and the boys were home. I bought this DVD because I wanted to know the whole story behind the band. This DVD gives you the history of the Ramones as well as the personal view point of Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Tommy and Marky. (As well as CJ and Richie). I learned about their interpersonal relationships, as well as their personal deamons. The live concert footage brought back the days of screaming "Hey Ho...Let's Go" until I lost my voice. I would have liked to see a bit more of this footage added to the DVD, as a good majority of it is in a interview format. But overall I still think this DVD is a must have for any true, die-hard Ramones fan. This DVD keeps the can do, invoative spirit alive of Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee who are sadly no longer with us. God bless the RAMONES!Read full review
This DVD is a great introspective of the lives of a bunch who revolutionized the punk scene in America. Those who saw them as many times as I have (over 50), remember the good ole days when Joey had to sit out (or pass out) while 'the band played on'. Sorry they didn't mention the day at Irving Plaza (NYC) when Phil Spector tried to get Joey up the 40 stairs to what was a 'backstage' area, by telling him, "one more step Joey, one more step", for EVERY step there was! When Joey almost made it to the top (balcony area), Phil and security guys asked us to, "give Joey some room folks", but while they let go of him for a few seconds to tell us, Joey had turned around and went 3 steps back down! They had to grab him, turn him around, and start over again. Funny and really revealing. That was during 'End Of The Century' tour. This vid got me excited and also brought back memories of a group I really loved and rocked to in the 70's and 80's. I'm sad tho, that most of the guys have passed on. BUY their CD's and movie (Rock n Roll High School) so they'll ALWAYS BE "Too Tough To Die". written by RichieLovesJesusRead full review
This is a very well made documentary of the legendary Ramones. Lots of revealing interviews (old & new) with all the band members. The extras are all interviews but very lengthy. It has some great live clips of the band from very early ones to modern. I would have liked to see some more complete live footage of the band, especially the early stuff, but what can you do? Still a great film, worth picking up.
this is a story of a group of guys who made music history in the 1970s. I saw this band in 1978 live. So it was good they got the recognition they deserve.

Deep review and commentary of the band that lead a movement. A new genre that they would not compromise.
