Genres

I cannot believe pop punk hasn't been added to their genres, most of their music is in fact pop punk. http://www.avclub.com/article/beginners-guide-bouncy-buzz-pop-punk-201853 http://www.rhapsody.com/blog/post/rhapsody-university-pop-punk-101 http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/endofthecentury/legacy.html ~~

Origin of "Ramone" as a surname

According to all the Ramones biographies I've ever read (Pressman, Melnick, True) and indeed even Dee Dee's Wikipedia page, the origin of Ramone as a surname was that it was suggested by Dee Dee who himself got it from Paul McCartney who used 'Paul Ramon" as a pseudonym for hotel check-ins and such. This article states that he got the idea from a 60s gangster movie. Not saying that's untrue, but it is at odds with the unanimity of all the other sources.108.0.209.15 (talk) 05:47, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article was vandalized several months ago which went unnoticed. It's restored to its previous version now. Piriczki (talk) 12:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Band members section

Should the band members section include a list of the band members, touring musicians (including one-time appearances) and every session musician, plus a timeline and a table for lineups? The same question was posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians#Band members sections but additional comments are welcome here. Piriczki (talk) 14:05, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't read this, but I just invoked WP:BOLD and removed the overly long list of one-time appearance touring musicians, session musicians ("handclaps"? Really?) and restored the lineups table to an older, less lengthy version. Album credits are (or should be) in the album articles, not here, and these people weren't "members" of the band. I'd have removed the timeline, too, as I find those all but useless and have argued in the past that a lineups table is of far greater utility to a reader (since it communicates the lineup at any given time in fewer steps than the timeline takes to interpret, and it communicates what releases those lineups played on which the timeline doesn't), but I've encountered too much resistance to that in the past to attempt arguing it again (IMO most editors prefer timelines just because they're colorful). --IllaZilla (talk) 16:44, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Spector and guns

As it reads now, the rumour that Spector pulled a gun on members of the Ramones is presented as a fact: "During the recording sessions in Los Angeles, Spector held Johnny at gunpoint, forcing him to repeatedly play a riff."

This rumour is denied by Marky Ramone himself quite strongly (see http://www.nme.com/news/ramones/41403 and http://www.miaminewtimes.com/music/marky-ramone-talks-phil-spector-and-his-first-book-he-never-pointed-a-gun-at-us-7564148). I'm suggest the line be changed to reflect it was a rumour and that band member Marky Ramone has denied any such incident took place. Tigerman2005 (talk) 03:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marc Bolan invited onstage at the Roundhouse, London in 1976

I was at the Roundhouse gig, and and I don't remember Marc Bolan being invited on stage. Maybe it was at the later Dingwalls gig that this happened. Dingwalls was a smaller club venue, which was often frequented by musicians and music industry people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.49.23 (talk) 17:57, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
