18.1. I changed comment of Ramones:
Soundtrack Of Our Lives book on my main page:
Comment is by Keith D., USA: "I sometimes feel like I pretty much know
everything about the Ramones (I own all their albums, have read several
books, seen documentaries, etc.) but this book, Ramones: Soundtrack Of
Our Lives reminds me there's always more fun stuff to learn. This
book is like if there was a monthly magazine about the Ramones and
someone put 15 good issues together for one book." (Keith D,
USA).
1.3. Read review
of the Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives from Maximumrocknroll by
Craigums.
"Jari keeps a fair and neutral perspective that is difficult when
exploring a band with such a noteworthy in-house rivalry."
"The fair-weather Ramones fan or even casual rock-biography-reader can
enjoy and appreciate Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives for its detail and
depth, but diehards are definitely the true beneficiaries of this book.
However much you know about the band (and their story is not a secret
one, mind you), this guy and his resources can surely overwhelm you
22.1. I added comment
by Charlie of the Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives.
Here is small part of it: "It is indeed a very good book. I am amazed
how good contact you have with the - inner circle - and other people who
are involved in one or another way to the Ramones. A chapter that really
caught me was about the early interview made by Emilie. This is the
Ramones I remember and grew up with; simpleminded, no fights only great
humour and making fun from each other and on every occasion..."
Order my book/books
here.
