That's the sound we developed, and that's how we played. It took us a while, but we found it.

Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it. It sets the tempo of the show; it affects everyone's perception of the band.

I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.

As far as film goes, I enjoy all Hollywood films and all Horror films like The Bride of Frankenstein, which also might be my favorite. I like 60's and 70's Italian and Spanish Horror films.

Rocket to Russia' is, I think, my favorite Ramones record. We reached our peak at that point.
