-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Synopsis
This is a new updated edition of "On The Road With The Ramones", with new pages, photos and info on what's been happening to the legacy of the Ramones. This is a must-have book for all Ramones fans. It is based around the story of Monte A. Melnick who was the Ramones tour manager (and much more) throughout their entire career (1974-1996, and 2,263 live shows). It's an insider's look from the people who were actually there witnessing and experiencing all the extreme highs and lows of one of rock's greatest bands. The book is packed with interviews from the Ramones and many many more people who where very close to the band. There is over 250 photographs and pictures of memorabilia Monte collected along the way. Buy it, read it and then revisit their albums. You'll never look at the Ramones in the same light.

Format:Taschenbuch
ich habe bewusst beim titel freaks, nicht fans, geschrieben, da dieses buch wirklich für ramones-freaks ist. es kommen teilweise geschichten vor die nicht jedermann wirklich interessieren (z.b. dass joey niemals unterhosen gewechselt hat, oder dass dee dee mit seiner katze (!) einen joint geraucht hat). der text ist nicht wie ein roman geschrieben, sondern in form von zitaten von noch lebenden band mitgliedern und von der tour-crew. außerdem gibt es auf jeder seite qualitativ gute farbfotos (u.a. seltene fotos von joey ohne brille), was dem buch eine gewisse lebendigkeit verleiht.
ich empfehle dieses buch also nur für ramones-freaks, für andere ist das buch eher langweilig

Monte Melnick's Flying Rock and Roll Circus
10. Juni 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
For all the years that The Ramones weaved their strange tales of Commandos, Pin Heads, Vegetables, and students of the Rock and Roll High School, there were very few constants in their lives. One of them was Monte A Melnick. He became the band's road warrior first class and managed the band through their lives. When reading his history of the band, told in both first person and a gathering of quotes and comments from other notables over time, you discover that the band that sang "We're A Happy Family" was anything but.
In fact, along with the telling it like it really was documentary, "End Of The Century," "On The Road With The Ramones" shines an often uncomplimentary light on the principles. Reading through quote after recount of Johnny's almost sadistic militarist disciplines, Joey's obsessive/compulsive disorder (he once distressed himself in a European airport that he absolutely had to return to New York and touch a door he'd missed) and as Dee Dee's addictive personality become increasingly unstable, you marvel that The Ramones carved out a 22 year career that yielded only marginal success.
Yet that is what Melnick lays out in this book. You watch as the three core band members take the job of being the Ramones and affect all they come into contact with. All who do, come out changed. Band members splinter off, sometimes only nominally damaged (Tommy) or severely (Ritchie Ramone cut himself off so completely his royalties lay uncollected for three years). There was no way a tornado of rock like these men could strike you and not throw you.
What ultimately mattered to everyone involved was the music. You can gather through the book that, even at their most acrimonious, Johnny and Joey were blood brothers at the level of rock and roll as savior to what would have otherwise been anonymous lives. In the case of Joey or Dee Dee, you may even wonder what other life they would have had if not as musicians. It makes "On The Road With The Ramones" as much a confirmation of these legends of Punk Rock as it does a destroyer of their mythology. Absolutely essential.

"It's Monte, Not Monty!"
5. Juni 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Monte's book, "On The Road With The Ramones" tells it like it is and was.
Frank Meyer knows his punk rock.
This book is a MUST HAVE for any Ramones fan, and offers insight not only into rock 'n' roll and punk rock, but into the concept of bands themselves.
Monte is honest, sincere, and an all around nice guy. As much as I'd like to say this is my FAVORITE Ramones book, with all the infighting that goes on among these guys (and still does to this day), it's best I don't.
The pictures in here are priceless and I think Monte's pal, Shira, deserves lots of credit for helping him and Frank out with what is one of the best rock books ever written.
Buy this right away. No matter if you are a Ramones fan, or just heard of them. This book truely talks about the heart of rock n' roll. And sometimes that ain't pretty. But it sure is interesting.

Hey ho, let's go!

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
What a fascinating read! Monte Melnick, the indefatigable road warrior who was at once dad, babysitter, peacekeeper, chauffeur, and tour manager extraordinaire for the entire ride, lets us into his memory bank and shares the mindblowing experience with us. The story is told by Monte and all those who were there, and reads like "Please Kill Me", with several voices sharing anecdotes.
The Ramones' story is unique, harrowing, thrilling, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant. This book shows us the long, hard road they traveled and how tough it really was for so long. They set the standard that everyone else is still trying to measure up to, more than a quarter century on. They were the first and will always be the best. This book shows us the whys and hows of their genius. Thanks, Monte!
