One night, my mother came into my room while "Big Balls" was on, and I sang right to her "I've got big balls, (pointed at her), YOU'VE got big balls". I had to return the album to Caldor's the next morning. Lol, my high school basement band was playing that song over and over (because it was easy and hilarious) until my friend’s mom came down the stairs waving her arms going, “Enough, enough! What if I ran around singing, ‘I’ve got big tits!?!’” Suffice to say, literally, very close to wetting myself there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, vinyl is making a big comeback with audiophiles. Bands are re-releasing their past (and new)recordings on vinyl. Problem is that the records are really expensive.

munchmemory Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Somewhere in the afterlife, I'm sure Joey is still thinking about HTF he wound up in bed with Debbie Harry. There are worse places you could find yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Closest Joey ever got to being a crooner. One of my favorite vocals by the Birthday Boy. Nice that Johnny is toning down the chord onslaught for this quieter offering. lol Yeah, right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waka Flocka Flacco Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Only on JetNation does a thread about Joey Ramone turn into a thread about AC/DC. How many personal friends of Weeb Ewbank can even still be alive at this point? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he does also spend a decent amount time yelling "OUT GO THE LIGHTS!" during Pat Travers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClashFan Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Not sure if this thread has any more legs, but I'm so jealous of you guys that lived in an area where lots of alternative music shows were held. We moved to Cumberland County, Tennessee in 1977, and I had only vaguely heard of "punk rock" and "new wave" until I went to college at the University of Tennessee starting in 1980. All the local radio was top 40 or 70's era arena rock. It wasn't until 1982 that the school's radio station, WUTK FM, started playing alternative stuff, first on Sunday nights for a couple of hours, then eventually it became standard fare with the rise of bands like REM (who I saw in 1982) and U2. There were a few bands I got to see locally in Knoxville from time to time, but it was certainly not a regular stop for any of the major indy bands of the 80's. Nashville and Atlanta probably were to some extent, but we wouldn't hear about shows there much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Iroc Z or guido chains in my school. I was listening to underground music by 6th grade, tbh. One of the things about adolescence I’m most grateful for. It doesn’t matter when you come to it though, it matters how it affects you. I never liked gutter punk or negative rap. Both forms of underground music - and I learned a lot about my self by how I gravitated towards to positive, reflective, proactive and strong musicians/messages the most. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us growing up around New York were really lucky when it came to live music and the variety of styles we were exposed to. It was a bit of a shock to the system moving away from the area and finding that a lot of the musical acts I liked weren't coming to my area on tour. I'm in New Mexico now, and I mentioned earlier in this thread that Bob Mould (my favorite all-time musician) is on tour. The closest he's coming to where I live is Palm Springs - a 13-hour drive away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the one you are thinking of - San Bernadino. Just watched it the other day. I probably thought about it after a conversation with my sister, but that is a topic for another thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Saw the Ramones in early 80s when I was in college and they were on campus. Unforutnatelythe acoustics in the venue were so bad, that every song sounded the same. Only way you knew one song ended and another began was the sound of Joey yelling "1,2,3, go" or something similar at the beginning of each song. I remember arguing with my friends about what songs they did. What a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, I went all in on digital. Problem for me was with the inherent excessive compression. The listener lost all the low end and warmth of vinyl, skips and scratches and all. Plus, the best part of records was holding it while listening. Reading all the liner notes & lyrics, looking at the artwork and/or photos, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked in to him pogo-ing on the bed and singing. Mamma told me Yes she told me I'd meet girls like you She also told me Stay away you never know what you'll catch. He turns six in December. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
