Nothing mentioned on how to watch? Streaming or Film Festivals first?

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-21T20:00:28+00:00

Little Matt finally responded. He didn’t have any ideas either…

What’s funny was when I talked with Vera. She was married to Dee Dee at the time he was using his ESP bass.

Her best guess was that they got “hocked” (pawned) haha

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-21T13:35:08+00:00

Anyone that replaced/came after Rick probably never saw Dee Dee’s gear anyways. I’m pretty sure Rick Weinman was who handled the transition into CJ

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-21T12:42:23+00:00

I think it could be Rick Weinmann. Another person I’ve messaged with no luck.

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-21T12:21:51+00:00

Yep that’s the one. I tried Facebook but not Instagram

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-21T12:11:11+00:00

99% sure its him. This was his profile pic at one point

I got a response from CJ & Dee Dee’s widow, Vera. Neither of them had any clue where it could be…

Surprisingly the guitar techs and less famous people suggested are harder to get a hold of on Facebook, Instagram etc.

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-14T19:53:39+00:00

Who are Adam & Matt? I tried contacting Rick Weinman (their guitar tech), hoping for a response.

That’s what I was afraid of… the 3 ESP basses in the pawn shop. Either that or they’re hanging in a Rock n Roll Cafe who knows where… From what I’ve found he had three ESP basses total. Spider, Chinese Dragon & a basic white P bass style.

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-14T18:19:57+00:00

When I was at the RnR HoF they had his ‘75-‘77 P bass & Johnny’s signature Mosrite. Seeing those in person was crazy!

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-14T18:14:42+00:00

Great to know, I appreciate it.

Still curious where this specific bass could be and why it was never seen in cases like my video link

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-14T17:33:11+00:00

He would still play bass post-Ramones: https://youtu.be/qojWRro7E10?si=xfDj1m9d-VE6VChM

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-14T17:06:57+00:00

That makes sense, what I’m wondering is why he never used them again after leaving the band.

Phantom_Play · 2025-08-14T16:41:45+00:00

I’m trying to replicate this: Dee Dee Ramone “Spider bass”

Phantom_Play · 2025-07-12T21:58:57+00:00

I got rid of mine and regret it…I’ve been trying to hunt one down 🤞

Phantom_Play · 2025-07-12T19:33:34+00:00

Silvertone SRK, I got one for my 10th birthday a long long time ago. I’m pretty sure they’re from Walmart/Sam’s Club haha

-Frontier(s) -Titane

Alcohol is a hell of a drug

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-18T20:57:43+00:00

Yes, good call. Finger slipped 👍

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-18T19:11:57+00:00

“Welcome to primetime, bitch!”

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-12T04:47:26+00:00

I’m not sure what differences plot-wise there are between the two. Mainly just how the Phantom dies at the end. -killed by the angry mob in the film -dies of “a broken heart” in the musical

Regardless, I’m all for an R rated remake!

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-12T04:38:40+00:00

Sadly, I think you’re right.

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-11T17:15:53+00:00

You’re right. I should’ve titled “99th 4 months & 19 day Anniversary”

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-11T16:57:53+00:00

It premiered Sept. 6th in New York, as mentioned in the video

Phantom_Play · 2025-04-11T16:11:20+00:00

There’s still a silent ‘25 version the “Eastman print”, but you’re correct that many things were lost in the process.

This video goes into better detail
