"Someones gonna call you punk even if you're not." I like that attitude.

Its great to see Dee Dee lucid and intelligent, nothing like the moronic way he's usually portrayed. A great little piece of history.

You've got to admire the interviewer, people forget how only a tiny proportion of people didn't hate anything 'punk', he's well ahead of the time.

The person between Joey and De De is Michael Mckenzie artist / photographer who introduced me to the Ramones and co-hosted several of my shows

Man, Joey is such a stud! 💕✨😍

This is a classic! All the mistakes, the bad audio with the callers... drinking beer....etc

clearly Arturo comes from the future

We posted this show which we thought would be an interesting part of the history of rock n roll from that period. We will be posting many more shows from that time period in the near future, so keep checking the site for more great stuff . Efrom Allen

The Question about Brazil is pretty amazing. They became 10 times more popular in South America than they were in the US,

I was lucky enough to catch the Ramones about this time and after the show me and Joey shot a couple of games of pool. It is still one of my favorite memories. He was just a regular guy.

Love this early Ramones interview. Classic DeeDee comment at 2:45, "we never tried to get into definitions, we always tried to get out of them." Joey at 4:35, "I don't see how kids can grow up on Leif Garrett and feel that are getting a fair deal."

14:06 She knows what she is talking about. "They should play in Brazil."

Even the interviewer Ephrom is dead. RIP everyone on this show.

pistols were manufactured like the monkees put together like a boy band . ramones grew with each other as a band

This is a very beautiful piece of american history and culture. You oughtta be real proud of it Efrom. 👌top drawer for sure.

"Punk rock isnt melodious, the Ramones are melodious."

really like seeing deedee this way too. you can tell he's intelligent, and really loves the scene. RIP

Joey was hillarious in this one and Dee Dee he is so fucking hot and talented, so is Joey. RIP to them both and Johnny and Tommy as well, hey ho lets go !

This is pure gold from the 70's . Smoking and drinking live call in. Total classic Punk.

johnny probably was unhappy, these are the 2 guys he didn't want giving the interviews. but most of what he and tommy said seemed rehearsed, not to mention kinda short. r.i.p. joey, dee dee, arturo, johnny, tommy. cool show, smokin, drinkin, and chillin w/ joey and dee dee! woulda loved to have been able to call in!

Dang Joey is silly giggly drunk!! LOL……Classic!! Man this is a piece of rock history!!!

It was a great show they were brilliant and I had a great time every time I was with Joey thanks for the comment

Efrom: And this is the new album? Joey: yi

Wow, Aliece was spot on in calling the band to come and play Brazil. This is a little piece of RnR history!!

No one's ever offered me beer from a briefcase... Guess I haven't really lived

I am glad that you appreciated this video on the Ramones come back soon to see more video's from this time that we will be posting

This video is a time capsule from the time the Ramones still walked among us.

thanks for appreciating the show

I was born in 87 but this made me feel like I was living in 77. It really put me there. Never seen anything like it. Live TV show while smoking, drinking and cutting calls off? A guy who brings beers in a briefcase? All casually siting in regular chairs without following almost any protocol? Loved it all. Everything's so "take it or leave it" kinda of a deal. It is what it is. The Ramones, as everything that came to change the game and direction of things, did bother people a lot as happened with The Stones, The Beatles, and the early rock n roll movement in general. I feel that Dee Dee and Joey would always give a better interview than Johnny. They're more fun and relaxed. Loved the girl that called at 40:33. She was really into music. She knew about producers, labels, tours and record releases. This video is a gem. Thanks for uploading.

Damn, Joey's such a stud. 😍

Dee Dee is spot on. Get OUT of definition, don’t be defined……Just be you.

This might just be the best video on KZfaq! Dee Dee seemed to really want to answer everyone's questions, no matter how weird - very attentive guy. Putting all the effects on Joey when he was just awkwardly sipping on a beer was hilarious too.

holy shit, I was 14, god how I wish I had a time machine and could turn back time and know what I know now..love the Ramones

Just goes to show that even before the Internet, people would go out of their way to call someone gay. Nothing changed except for technology. Bravo to the Ramones for taking it in stride.

12:09 oh maaannnnn Joey's face...boy I'd like to slug that kid who called. Or give Joey a pat on the shoulder. I love the Ramones cos their music wasn't all sweet and cheery, but it was never hateful or negative. Just tough and good humored. Had to be if people were treating them like that. Man I wish I could give them a hug. However looks like they get a nice buzz on so it's ok.

How funny that they had Brazilian fans back then who didn't even need to hear the music

"Let's click him off." lmao No wonder the world needed the Ramones. Thanks for the upload!

Love this. Its like the Ramones just hangin out smoking and drinking.

I watched the whole thing and it was amazing

Every one on here is dead. Arturo Vega just recently passed away. RIP.

This is awesome! I've never seen any Dee Dee footage from the 70's!!! I was never old enough to go to their shows when Dee Dee was still in the band but I did see them 3 times with CJ. I was at their 2259th show at the Gorge in Washington.

That's Arturo on the right! Their art director friend. That is in fact the belt buckle on the back of the 1st Ramones album Arturo is wearing!

Man, Arturo looks crazy awesome.

16:45: Punk rock is keeping beer in a suitcase and politely passing them so everyone can enjoy.

Wow. This is so amazing. I wish I had been able to meet these guys, or even have a chance to have called them on this show at the time. It really sucks being in this era sometimes. Joey Ramone is probably one of my only biggest idles in music. I don't play music. But, I would have loved to meet him just based on his mellow and funny personality. :)

"The sex pistols were just a hype band."

Wow! This interview is as raw and rough as the Ramones themselves were! It’s a trip to not only hear them talk but also interact with regular people from the era. Ah, the 70s!

I feel out of this world while watching such an old interview

49:47 Hahaha Joey is like so mellow but still quite intense in the way he stares at that interviewer xD Hahaha

Rocket To Russia is my favorite Ramones Album. Cretin Hop is my favorite song. That album should of been triple gold man.

Good for you, Efrom, you are really a good host and you let your guests speak for themselves.

i fucking love you joey ♡

I dont think ive ever seen a video of Dee Dee when he's this high. damn guy

Look all those little girls calling for the Ramones. RIP Arturo

I love how they're all smoking cigs without a hassle...just part of rock and roll.

the girl who said they should play in Brazil was exactly right because they had their greatest success in Brazil and Argentina! how did she know?

a Piece of History History History The Ramones!

A lifelong heroin addict saying he wanted stability. Oh, Dee Dee, you're breaking my heart. RIP, boys.

thanks for your checking out my show please tell others

I think is incredible a girl in 1977 talking about ramones play in brazil,thats incredible previous the future!!!

I love the Ramones. Sucks that I keep calling and can’t get through though.

Interesting how the woman that called in keyed in that Brazilians would love them, before they even played there.

If Johnny had been there he just would have told everyone to shut up.

Nice, genuine interview, you don't see it a lot today, or any time!!

So fucking cool! Vega, Bators, no Johnny, talking about the Blitz benefit! The Rick Moranis-looking guy with the Larry from Three's Company style is fucking awesome! Thanks for sharing, man!!!

yeah, i know he fell on hard times. I met him through a friend in the late 80's and actually hung out at his house in Pompano once. good guy. very generous. anyway, thanks for getting back to me. This interview with the Ramones is classic stuff.

Amazing inlook ,DeeDee's definitely the brightest.Joey 's cool for not smoking,even while he's so nervous.

Ramones are without a doubt one of the most important bands in Rock Music History Elvis Costello & The Attractions’ This Years Model current new here was and is a fantastic album

Beer in a briefcase, cooooooooool.

what a great truth said Arturo....the Ramones was the start of something so important, real, pure and raw rock&roll, somthing so differente from disco or traditional rock.....and really, if you heard the Ramones and you liked it, just cant´t hear anything else.....thanks for upload this episode, greetings from Chile!

Dude they got a fuckin' beer assistant.. Awesome!

What a gem! Thanks for uploading and sharing! :)

This is amazing thanks for posting!!!

This is an incredible vid. Thanks for the upload Efrom.

amazing, thank you for this. my favorite band/people. just like time traveling

This is great stuff! Thanks for uploading! My favourite band of all time!

Hey - thanks for uploading this - it is brilliant TV!

At 14:27 a casual heroin joke. NYC was such a zoo in the late 70s/early 80s

What a great clip. Thank you.

Dude actually has beers in a suit case. Everyone is just chain smoking and drinking on TV. Must have been a whole other world back then. lol

This must of been right after the new years eve show in London. Thank you for uploading this man! My favorite American rock band.

wow! thanks so much for this!!!

Brilliant stuff Efrom Allen....Thanks for posting....Greetings from Mexico City

Priceless.

Brilliant! Thanks alot for putting this up!!!

great interview , Dee Dee, Joey and Arturo, damn great m thanks Efrom!

Bless you for preserving and sharing this clip. What a fabulous time capsule. And what struck me watching, was how great the interactions were between you and the band, and the callers, especially the teens and young adults. It shows how essential radio and public tv/cable access were for local kids--especially those in the outer boroughs--connecting them with their fellow freaks. PS I wish you could reupload your clip with Debbie and Chris of Blondie, from around the same period. Thank you!

Thank you so much for uploading this!!

Love this. Very raw!!!! Thanks!!

This was soooooooooo cool. Thanx!

Beer , beer ,smoke ,beer,smoke,the life of Rockstar, Viva los Ramones!!!GabbaGabbaHey✊👍

Great upload.. This is awesome ! I had a cableTV show very much like this in Toronto 1979 (Radioactive) as Buster Palmer ... Again great upload thanks Efrom Allen !

i like their voices

Left a comment but thanks for this Efrom brings back a lot of memories.

Great T.V document! Thank you firstly for doing it, and secondly for posting it here. Wish the U.K had something like this growing up.. And now i'm in Spain, wish we had something here now. It stands the test of time, have all these years really gone by.. ? Regards Efrom. You should be proud.

55:35 - Ahhh Stiv Bators as the last min guest is sooooooo rad!!!

What a great show. I wish i could have seen this back in the day, but in south Florida all i had was the albums, and waiting for Creem or New Wave Rock to arrive at the Majic Market every month. And the rare punk or no wave concert. Thanks for this post!

Thanks have not seen this in years.

Alize at 14:00 was right they should play in Brazil ....prophetic

Legends. They created a musical movement and never got the fame and rewards they should have.
