Great short film which reflexes the Ramones' hughe influence on their fans...

After I watched this short, I felt sorry that it wasn't any longer, 'cause I enjoyed the way Rusty Nails describes the band, while giving the viewers a quick picture of life in NY during the 70s, and also how the Ramones changed his life forever through music and by helping him survive during those difficult teenage years, full of rebellion, society's rejection and just growing up in the suburbs, holding on to the music genre that many say saved rock 'n roll in some way over 30 years ago (punk rock).

It's also quite interesting watching the rare footage from some early Ramones' show in color and good enough quality, which is not something common at all to find nowadays, not even on bootlegs, documentaries or official releases of the band.

The edition was pretty well done and Rusty Nails made it certainly short and fast, just like the classic Ramones' songs.

So, in my opinion it's a really worth-watching film, plus it's only 6 mins. long so there's no good reason to avoid it. If you're a ramoniac person or even just a punk rock fan or feel indentified with teenage rebellion, you can easily find this video, entertaining.
