Ramones Double World Premiere!

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']RAMONES DOUBLE WORLD PREMIERE:
TOO TOUGH TO DIE (THE DOCUMENTARY) & LIVE AT THE 'US' FESTIVAL 1982[/font][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']

On Friday June 29th at 6 pm, The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles will again celebrate the legacy of THE RAMONES with a double header world premier.

TOO TOUGH TO DIE, the documentary produced and directed by Mandy Stein, consists of 2 highly exciting yet emotional parts. The 1st captures highlights of THE RAMONES 3OTH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT, which took place at the Palace in LA on Sept 12, 2004. The event was meticulously produced by career spanning Ramones creative director Arturo Vega and Joe Sib, and included Tommy, Marky & CJ Ramone; as well as performances from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dickies, X, Eddie Vedder, Steve Jones, Rob Zombie, Daniel Rey, Henry Rollins, Pete Yorn, Tim Armstrong, and Dicky Barrette. In addition, there are commentaries from Lisa Marie Presley, Sonic Youth & Seymour Stein, as well as many of the musicians.

Ironically, the event took place just 3 days prior to Johnny's passing, and thus the 2nd part of the film covers the bittersweet tribute ceremony unveiling the Johnny Ramone monument at Hollywood Forever, also the resting place of DeeDee Ramone. The beautiful bronze statue captures Johnny, larger than life, clad in his signature Ramones outfit and playing guitar. Sculptor Wayne Toth applied incredible detail to the work, giving it life like results. It premiers September 15 on Starz, but why wait?

Then there's the recently discovered 1982 performance of THE RAMONES at the 'Us' Festival. The event took place in Southern California and was an exciting 3 day extravaganza with many of the top bands from the time. The performance was professionally captured via a 4 camera shoot and recorded onto 24 tracks. Honorary Ramones producer Ed Stasium has mixed the sound for the film. The footage is amazing. The average temperature was 110, it was midday, and bets were being taken as to whether they would wear their leather jackets...come and find out.

In addition, Arturo Vega will be presenting an amazing display of band memorabilia from his personal collection, as well as from those close to the band. Longstanding tour manager, Monte Melnick will also be on hand autographing his book 'On The Road With The Ramones'.

As always, the proceedings will be hosted by Linda Ramone; and both Marky Ramone & Henry Rollins will be on hand to introduce the evening.

If you have never been to one of the events at the cemetery, please know you are allowed to bring food and drink. It's a proper nocturnal picnic so bring a blanket, spread the goodies and prepare for a lot of fun. A 10 .00 donation is requested to benefit Prostate Cancer Research.

This sounds really... cheesy. Someone seems to be milking the Ramones for every possible last penny.

End of the Century is one of the best band documentaries ever in my opinion...I'm not even the biggest fan...I dig 'em though.

Never been all that big of a Ramones fan. They got some cool tunes but a lot just sounds the same. I guess it's great for what they were going for.
