I just read something that made me super giddy! There is going to be a Ramones BIOPIC! OMG! Wesley Strick , the guy who wrote the crappy remake of Nightmare on Elm Street , has been hired by Fox Searchlight to write the screenplay. I hope he doesn't butcher this like he did with my fave movie villain Freddy Kruger. His apparent source material will be the memoir from deceased singer Joey Ramone 's brother Micky Leigh , entitled; 'I Slept with Joey Ramone' . [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Holy Hell , Book Club , Canada It's been said that they were famous before they ever played a show. With an unpredictable singer and an unbridled sound, legendary Toronto punks the Viletones were just as known for their antics on and off stage as they were for iconic underground songs like 'Screamin' Fist.' Although the history of the Toronto first-wave punk scene fell into relative obscurity after its early start [...]

"History on My Arms" is a reissue of Lech Kowalski's 2003 documentary "Hey Is Dee Dee Home" with two additional video vignettes and a bonus audio CD. I would assume that most readers are familiar with "Hey Is Dee Dee Home" so I won't go into great detail on the main feature. "Hey Is Dee Dee Home" contains interview footage with Dee Dee that was shot in 1992 for the still-unreleased Johnny Thunders bio-pic "Born to Lose". As such, the main subject of the interview is Johnny Thunders, The Heartbreakers and the almost-super group Whores of [...]
Everyone sing happy birthday to MegaDave - the most ginger shredder on Earth turns 48 today. Those chaps over at Roadrunner Records have given him a splendid present by way of releasing Megadeth's return-to-form new album, Endgame, tomorrow. And now we're giving him a birthday gift of our very own - a dedicated Dave Mustaine-themed Thrash Hits Slaylist . While MegaDave's career has mostly been as the lynchpin of Megadeth, he did of course notch up a couple of writing credits on the first two Metallica albums [...]
Walter Lure was with the Heartbreakers during everything that would later become history— L.A.M.F. , the Anarchy tour with the Sex Pistols and Live At Max's and whatever else it says in Please Kill Me , which he hasn't read. He speaks now before performing at the Knitting Factory with his band the Waldos. This interview by Daniel Clodfelter.
Everyone knows and loves the Ramones . Unfortunately, we can only talk about them in the past tense as Tommy Ramone is the only original living member (who ironically fronts a Bluegrass band nowadays). The original punk rockers, the Ramones was an incredible collection of talent. You had the signature voice and cultural icon in Joey . The no-nonsense, rapid-fire Johnny . The raw and eccentric Dee Dee . The boys from Queens took rock and roll back to the basics when it needed it the most. Released in April of 1976 (produced for a whooping [...]

The other new release is [...]
Un libro di R.U. Sirius (Everybody Must Get Stoned) raccoglie le storie più incredibili, divertenti e, naturalmente, anche più drammatiche delle rock star che hanno fatto (e faranno sempre) uso di droghe. Dunque: tutte. In una ipotetica classifica, che Sirius posta sulla sua webzine , al primo posto ci sarebbe senza alcun dubbio Iggy Pop . Insieme al resto degli Stooges, usavano farsi di eroina, nella stessa Fun House (la loro casa di Detroit) che diede il nome al loro album. Dopodiché, facevano schizzare il sangue rimasto nelle siringhe sulle pareti della [...]
Dee Dee Ramone's wife Vera Davie has hit a snag in getting her story of life with a Ramone published. The estate has objected , with executor Ira Herzog claiming Davie had reneged on a pledge to allow him to "review and revise" anything that she wrote about her ex-husband. It's not entirely clear why Herzog would imagine that he has a right of veto over Davie's own life story - if Dee Dee was still alive, he might have an expectation of fair treatment, but that would come after publication. And he's not alive, otherwise he [...]
Cool interview with Dee Dee Ramone about the song Chinese Rocks (which he wrote but was made famous my Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers)
