I'm into it! All ramones songs are good pinball songs.
Super LE with leather cab
Marky doing callouts.
People whining about how "unpunk" $9,000 pinball machines are.
A bunch of dead Ramones wives reaping the spoils.
Pretty much every bar in NYC would get one.
Quoted from rosh:So make one!!, You already have a great designer on staff, you certainly have access to parts, you know a few guys who can code it, you have mechanical and electrical guys at your disposal, and you already built one machine, under the Day One Pinball banner. You certainly know a few companies would could do assembly for you, but most most important, who else besides you could bring this game to life with the appropriate love and dedication?
Enough talk, time to take control and make your dream theme happen!!! -- just don' take pre-orders.
Yeah I think Terry should certainly ruin his successful business and in fact his entire life by deciding to get into the pinball machine manufacturing game!
Quoted from Gryszzz:Jesus H Christ 50 posts in and no love for Commando?
I am partial to Kosher salami.

OK it's time to lay out the amazing history my family has with the boys from queens
My Uncle Mark was in a high school band with Johnny and Tommy, called the Tangerine Puppets. He said Johnny was a royal asshole! He really liked Tommy though. He was like 15 at the time, rock stardom was not in his future.
My Aunt, on the other side of the family (dad) dated Joey Ramone! She has some bizarre story about how she met him, I think it was through a band members wanted ad. She was like 13 and he was graduated from high school. Her friends were making fun of her because he was so ugly, but she didn't break up with him until he demanded to come over to my grandmother's for Passover. Aunt Mo realized what a horror show that was going to be so she pulled the rip cord.
He was in a band called Sniper at the time and they played the local community center a few days after the breakup and called her a bitch from the stage!
I got nothing that good but I did shake Joey's sweaty meat paw during one of his last shows. When I moved to NYC in 1998 there was basically a Ramones-related club show every other weekend and I always did my best to attend, always great shows.
This thread has taken a sad and predictable turn as all threads about junkies do but let me just say it again...
Ramones: Greatest American rock band!

Quoted from pinballlife:Saw them play at a college kegger in Grinnell Iowa back in 78 or 79. I wasn't supoosed to get in (show was for the college students only) so I had to stand outside and keep asking girls to get me in as their little brother until someone finally said yes.
Crazy days
Any more to this story? Did you party with the college babes?
