“Hit it C.J.”

Lucky person owning that bass amp now.

Why is the generic shit music so loud?

Great story!

Did not recognize CJ

CJ sounds like a really nice guy,

CJ looks so different!!

I just recently discovered the Ramones: I'm "kinda" young and I'm Italian and the guys were known here until the early nineties. But since I'm always in search of something that makes my heart pound, it was just a matter of time to fall in love with them after accidentally hearing about them (pay attention: I heard OF them... didn't HEARD them playing or talking and I even didn't see them at first). When I heard them it was LOVE. I just got so enamoured of the fist original set with Tommy, that I hardly ever accepted any other "newer" Ramones member.
And, of course, I found Dee Dee just perferfect and irreplaceble.
I still think so. But the same moment I saw C.J. on stage it was like a flash in my mind: the guy was not Dee Dee but he "felt like" Dee Dee and he was also someone with a strong personality of his own. When I got to listen to "Three Angels" and some interviews, I cried rivers: C.J. was SO SWEET and honestly in love with the Ramones... he was so naturally picking up Ramones' legacy. He was like a son, a nephew, a younger brother to them. Really a part of the family.
He was (and IS) so wild, good-hearted, forever young and I'm sure he gave the band the big shake they needed after Dee Dee's quitting.
Thank you for being a vibrant part of this adventure C.J!!!

I didn't realize he was in for seven years he should have been in the hof

I have only ever seen the Ramones with CJ on bass. Never disappointed.

Good things !

CJ never got enough recognition.

Halo, Can i using some of your video clips for my video reproduction for education?

CJ Ramone You ROCK.and all of the Ramones ROCK TO,

I've been to ONE show. .....One. .......I'm a fan. Always have been. Always will be.

I LOVE HIM !!! 😱🎸🎼🤩🔥🌺😊🇨🇭🤟🏼

I have nothing but disrespect and total contempt for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that would not let CJ in being a bass player one of the most fundamental rock and roll changing bands that ever appeared on this planet but allowed Janet Jackson to be in there when she doesn't even play rock and roll Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is bullshit and in the words of Johnny Rotten keep your award you're nothing but a piss stain on the industry thank you and have a nice day

My favourite bass player also best replacement for Dee Dee Ramone! GABBA GABBA HEY!

Go deh CJ!

he looks really old whatever happened to his life...

WHATs the instrumental off ? .....I remember a copy of The Ramones album on cassette: You could switch channels so you had just Bass and Drum or Vocal and Guitar ....By panning left/right..! wouldnt mind an instrumental collection-Any ideas?

Can’t stop looking at this interview, nice very nice.

Wow!!! Great CJ!

Unbelievable!!!
