5.0 out of 5 stars A "Ramones experience", January 24, 2000

By 

Steve Ramone (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ramones - Around the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I expected to see a slick, professionally produced video, but I was in for a surprise. The whole video is shot on a hand-held store bought camcorder! Complete with the sound quality you'd expect from a tiny camcorder mic! Really! That's the down side. On the up side, you get the feeling that you're actually right there with the band - when they're performing, relaxing backstage, getting mobbed by fans in their van. It's a raw kind of experience. I loved it. Just like their music - raw, in-your-face, kind of dumb, TONS of fun.

What can a die-hard Ramones say? I need shock therapy after watching this video. Or maybe I should sniff some glue... Well, Ramones fans will love this very personal video, shot from a camcorder. Reminds me of meeting the band in person. No hi-fi professional quality video here, but that's what the Ramones are: raw, in your face punk rock. I recommend this video to all pinheads around the world.

Be careful on this one. If you're die hard, you're gonna love anything they did and the hand-held camcorder thing will work for you and you will forgive the thin sound.

If you are looking to understand the Ramones, you would do better picking up the Anthology CD set. They didn't look like this in person and they sure as hell didn't sound like this either.....the real sound was mind numbing, totally engaging, and in your face every second....if you forgot to think for one sec, you were lost. This video let's you quit thinking from the start.....this one would have been better left unreleased.....except that it's about all there is to see them now.....what a shame!
