I always think the Sex Pistols and the Ramones as very, very important because they stripped things down.
Jim Jarmusch

I discovered the Clash, the Pistols, obviously the Ramones, Blondie.
Jerry Only

I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol.
Dee Dee Ramone

I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands, like Bad Religion, cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.
Dee Dee Ramone

It was awesome because we were doing Ramones songs.
Mike Lowry

It's not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody.
Glenn Danzig

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
Johnny Ramone

Television sounded really different than the Ramones sounded really different than us sounded really different than Blondie sounded really different than the Sex Pistols.
David Byrne

The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs.
Dee Dee Ramone

The Ramones own the fountain of youth. Experiencing us is like having the fountain of youth.
Joey Ramone

The Ramones went through a couple different line-up changes, and Johnny and Joey held through the whole thing. So right now I'm the only one hanging in there.
Jerry Only

Then the early punk rock period with Television and the Ramones. That's what I loved- that's what I was listening to immediately prior to when I started to play.
Arto Lindsay

We were just a bunch of high school kids who got into the Ramones together.
Santiago Durango

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.
Jerry Only

Who's the new Ramones, who's the new Guns 'N Roses, who's the new Motley Crue, who's the new Black Sabbath? They're coming, they're on the street, they're 16, 17 years old.
Nikki Sixx
