Member Rating:  
Filmmaker Michael Gramaglia's years-in-the-making biography of the legendary punk band the Ramones entitled End of the Century traces nearly all the various and sundry peaks and valleys which the seminal rockers experienced over the course of its 20-plus year career before disbanding in 1995. Beginning with the band's first concert performances in the mid-'70s, Gramaglia explores the eccentric and highly volatile band members -- in all the various line-ups that were presented over the years -- as the Ramones slowly gained fame for their high energy and high-tempo style of music that would later influence generations of punk rockers around the world. Mixing archival interviews with new interviews of the various surviving bandmembers, as well as interviews with a number of the Ramones' contemporaries, End of the Century encapsulates the East Coast underground music atmosphere of the 1970s and '80s that the band inadvertently shocked into existence. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

The dynamics of the music personalities are well captured on this film. To see some of the best history of rock-- the trip to England and guys like Joe Strummer dying to see the Ramones. Oh for that Teenage Lobotomy. Meanwhile without Rock and Roll High School-- they may have never made it into a mainstream. The era of Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello-- Clash, Sex Pistols and so-on was certainly filled with extra-ordinary music!!

i've always loved the ramones and to see what happened backstage with them was a first. i really liked johnny even more. its too bad about joey and dee dee but the ramones, and everyone they influenced to get started, will make the go down in rock n roll history.
