The video clip is awesome with Lemmy playing with the Ramones.
Some people sleepwalk. I guess I "sleep type"!
What I started to say before I passed out was...
I saw the original line-up of the Ramones 14 times!
Dee Dee even opened AND held the front door for my ex-lead guitarist and myself when we went to see 'em at The Bayou in Georgetown (D.C.) in like '84 or something. First time I saw 'em was '78 and just to give you an idea of how huge The Runaways were, the first time my ex-lead guitarist saw The Ramones was '76 OPENING for The Runaways!!!
He was 16, walking down the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland when he heard a crazy high octane buzzsaw guitar sound emanating from a bar. He walked in and was met head on with a sound that changed the arc of our musical listening pleasure forever!
