Weird Tales of the Ramones
The supreme godfathers of punk-face it, they were on their third album before the Sex Pistols even broke-are true American originals, and their sensational end-of-the-century juggernaut is chronicled as never before in this career-spanning collection. Reducing and scrambling multiple strains of early rock 'n' roll and pop into a signature chainsaw of sound, the Ramones' loud, fast, and hard legacy rocketed out of NYC's CBGB in the early '70s and changed the face of modern music. Johnny Ramone, before his 2004 passing, oversaw the compilation of this first-ever Ramones blitzkrieg box for Rhino.

Okay, am I the only one who thinks they paid too much for this?
If they sold only the comic book for like $20 I would buy it.
Personally if it had been me, I would have slipped RAW in this set for those of us who know what Youtube is instead of the stupid DVD.
For compliations, I would recommend "Hey Ho, Let's Go, the Anthology." However, if possible,
get
"R.A.M.O.N.E.S" from the set off iTunes because (nothing against CJ) sounds much better with Joey singing.
get comic book off ebay lol.

A very complete collection
rating: 5
There's little doubt that if it were not for the Ramones, we'd probably be listening to a very different form of rock music today. The Ramones emerged in the mid-'70's with the force of an atomic-powered freight train; bringing with them short, simple songs that put loud guitars out front and a fast rhythm section to work. They took elements of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and the Beach Boys and defined a new genre of music in their own fashion. Many will argue who was the first punk band, but no one will argue that the Ramones defined the term punk rock.
This set is a 3 cd, 1 dvd compilation of many of the band's greatest pieces. From early tracks like "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" to some of the group's last offerings like "R.A.M.O.N.E.S.", this set provides more than enough material to keep ANY Ramones fan thoroughly satisfied. The dvd is a spectacular collection of the band's videos with interviews from a number of notable personalities tied to the band's long career.
This set is highly worth getting if you are any kind of punk fan!

Excellent Compilation
rating: 5
First off I will let it be known that I am not a die hard Ramones fan, but I am a die hard music fan. Anyone who loves different types of music would love this product. I am very happy with this. Of course if you already have every Ramones album then I would guess that this is not for you. If you are fairly new to the Ramones then this is a great collection to have.

Excellent COllection

Rhino puts out records no one else will, and though other people have put out great Ramones compilations before, not with 85 songs, comic books, CD glasses and a DVD. In other words, this is the best Ramones collection ever put together. And I can't agree with anyone who accused them of being greedy when they offer this much for the price of under 50 cents a song, with tons of freebies.
Great song choice, great remastering. This was a work of love. Johnny made the choices, but Rhino didn't try to cut corners or run up the price. This is the ultimate Ramones collection, no holds barred.
