Interview

 

1985, Dee Dee and Joey are in London doing some interviews for the forthcoming album 'Too Tough To Die'

They've got Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics to help produce the single 'Howling At The Moon' and he says it sounds like a hit single, and as the Eurythmics are flavour of the moment, everyone is hoping that he is right

Of course sounding like a hit and being a hit are two very different things

Here's some trivia for you, did you know that the Eurythmics drummer was once a Ramone ?

Yup, he was (very briefly) Elvis Ramone, a.k.a. Clem Burke

Usually when someone leaves a band, its blamed on musical differences, or a change in direction or whatever bullshit excuse, but in this clip from an interview on BBC Radio 1, you'll hear in true honest Ramones style

Why Marky Left The Band

And you'll also hear why my favourite cocktail is now known as a 'Marky', go to your local bar and order one right now !

 

Heres another tip for you, go to www.bbc.co.uk and do a search for RAMONES - you may be impressed
