We've already spoken at length about the Dictators in Les Monstres Sacrés. We even devoted an entire week of publication to them! So we didn't want to miss the opportunity to talk about them again, following the release of a new digital title. Andy Shernoff was kind enough to answer a few more of our questions. Looking through your discography, we were surprised to find quite a few things we wouldn't expect to find in it. Were you always happy with your work ? Generally, yeah… Hindsight is 20/20. You learn along the way. The satisfaction is in the process. How and why did you become a producer after your career with the Dictators?

The last RAMONES Interview (The following comments are from conversations recorded in New York City and Buffalo in '76, 77, and '78.

But of groups around now, there's nothing a...

Une chanson de Noël écrite par les Ramones ? Beaucoup de fans ont dû se demander ce qu’il se passait avec eux quand "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" sortit en 1987. Le morceau datait de bien plus longtemps. On n’en connait pas vraiment son origine. Certains pensent que derrière ce morceau se cache une offre de paix du chanteur à Johnny Ramone qui était parti en 1981 avec Linda, la copine de Joey. Peut-être était-ce aussi adressé à Linda elle-même. Une autre théorie est qu’elle est un message pour Angela, le deuxième grand amour de Joey.
