Ramones Raw DVD

To mark the arrival of Ramones Raw, the pioneering group’s first-ever DVD, Marky Ramone and producer director John Cafiero will be meeting fans and signing autographs at the Virgin Megastore-Times Square on 9/29 at 6:30 PM. More info about the release below.

The DVD marks the final contribution Johnny Ramone leaves behind in the Ramones legacy, as he, Marky, and Cafiero offer a hysterical audio commentary of the main feature.

With over five hours of rare material spanning the RAMONES’ history-making career (circa 1979-1996), RAMONES RAW offers fans an unprecedented look at the inner-workings of JOHNNY, JOEY, DEE DEE, MARKY and CJ. In his recent feature for Billboard.com, writer Barry Jeckell hailed, “The DVD’s main feature plays like a lighthearted scrapbook of the Ramones…the prize bonus is I Ramone, a half-hour of concert footage captured in Rome in 1980, just after the release of the band's Phil Spector-produced album, End of the Century. Shot on film, it laid forgotten in the vaults of an Italian television station for two decades after its one-time broadcast.”

Described by writer James Moreland in the LA Weekly (8/6/04) as “relentlessly satiating,” RAMONES RAW offers a glimpse into the madness and mayhem of one of the world’s most legendary punk rock bands. Packed with 20 vintage live performances including “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “I Wanna Be Sedated” “Judy Is A Punk” and “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker.”

From their humble beginnings in NYC’s East Village at CBGB’s to their 2002 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the RAMONES have stood the test of time with their immortal brand of music which continues to influence generations around the world today.
