Review: ‘Story of The Ramones’

Yesterday while I was sick, I was looking through HBO On Demand and came across this movie. I hadnt seen it and I am a huge fan of The Ramones, so it was a welcome surprise.

First let me say that this movie makes me angry at my parents..maybe not my parents, maybe just the cards life dealt me. Not being around New York and being able to experience the music revolution that The Ramones started back in 1976.

The movie is a documentary that tells the story of how The Ramones came together, and became the inventors of punk rock music. The movie was made in 2003, but they scored archive footage with every band member so the story is told through their voices, friends, and musicians that were heavily influenced by them. I cant say anything bad about the doc, it is very informative, never slow and leaves you very fulfilled. So if you are a true fan of rock music, you will enjoy this movie.

[rating: 5/5]
