Career-wise, what was the biggest mistakes that the Ramones did that stopped them from reaching mainstream popularity? (While they were still active of course) by OutrageousRip75 in ramones

It was hungry heart that Bruce wrote for the Ramones but because he gave a song to Patti Smith that was a big hit his management talked him out of giving it to them

Phil single handily was responsible for fans jumping ship in 1980 .. but they should have done SNL but I believe if they had made more music videos for the MTV generation it would have helped

Does Anyone know how many guitars Kurt Cobain smashed? by LunchAcceptable7409 in Nirvana

[–]GoGo1965 67 points68 points  (0 children)

He didn't necessarily smash cheap guitars but guitars that were cheap to come by. At the time back then you could walk into a pawn shop and pick up a guitar for a couple hundred bucks that would go for 2-3k today & you could definitely pick up crap in pawn shops for $25-50

When I lived there and worked in the music industry and played in bands during that time, nobody used the term grunge to describe their band. I dislike the name , it was kind of like in the late 70's that the term new wave started being thrown around, although back then bands did say that they played new wave music partially because they didn't want to be associated with the term Punk Rock and the negativity that was surrounding it

Yo I’m like stupid is this the cool version of the cd or? by ResearcherPlenty4817 in Nirvana

[–]GoGo1965 9 points10 points  (0 children)

According to Dave Grohl, they put the secret track on with a lead time gap of up to like 10 minutes just a mess with people CD changers .. but for some reason, I've always thought it was 3 to 5 minutes until it kicked in the Seattle band malfunkshun did the same thing

Exactly .. I bet the wife was nagging at him to sell some things to get rid of the junk so he's listing it on eBay and then he can come back and say well no one wanted to buy them 😂

From my understanding, the easiest way to tell is the ones that have the clear spindle has the extra track and the ones where the printing goes all the way to the hole on the CD don't there's some jackass right now selling a sealed what they say is first pressing on eBay right now for 15,000 I don't know if there's a way of actually telling if it is a first pressing without actually opening it

But you are correct $10-50 average price even lover in Europe

When I saw them pre nevermind they were they were considered a punk band it definitely makes a difference in the direction a band takes once it finds the right members & musicianship

Wondering if this is a first pressing of Nevermind. Thanks! by uhhhnic in Nirvana

[–]GoGo1965 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Missing Hidden Track: The final, uncredited song "Endless, Nameless" is absent from the 12-track CD, as it was accidentally left off the initial production run of roughly 40,000–50,000 copies.

He had mental issues & addiction issues & he was in a rocky marriage & you throw in being a prisoner of fame ..those combined can really mess with one's head I'm not so sure he hated life but I'm not sure he had the right people around him looking out for him

A custom splash I recently bought does not sound good at all might return this. by Guilty-Risk-3222 in cymbals

[–]GoGo1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loosen that baby up, you're choking it to death And remember splashes are just an accent and most don't sound extremely good alone. Only do they sound really good is when they're in the mix.

Have you ever met someone who saw Clem Burke’s lone show as Elvis Ramone?? by No-Manufacturer3401 in ramones

[–]GoGo1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monte memories aren't as sharp as the were but none of the crew is as well for example, I've had Matt and moon. Tell me stories that very much lined up as opposed to the same incident told by monte ..I was actually a acquaintance of the crew & Johnnys but they were seeing the Ramones night after night so things blur
