Dee Dee Ramone - Hey Is Dee Dee Home (2003)

This program features Lech Kowalski’s 2003 documentary feature about the life and times of Ramones bassist and all-star burn out, Dee Dee Ramone (1952-2002). Dee Dee’s life is a fascinating character study of a punk rock legend who never grew up. Listen

Utterly BORING!!!

Bought this two years ago. Saw it on my shelf at home yesterday, so I though I would write a review now.

Anyway, I didn't even watch the whole thing. Other reviews said "for true Ramones fans only". Why? Dee Dee doesn't even talk about the ramones. He talks about Johnny Thunders mainly. And even if it was filmed for a Johnny Thunders tribute......it's just boring. I think Dee Dee is just a bad interview. Who cares!! I just glad I got a gift cert. from Amazon to buy this. Glad I did not waste my money. I mean, who would produce and release this piece of garbage? Just to make a buck off Dee Dee's name I guess. April 21, 2007

Deedee--live ! If you want it!

This is a typical Lech Kowalski film. It's really cuts from Born to Lose--a film about Johnny Thunders that I cannot find! But for Deedee fans this is a must. It shows Deedee being venerable, jealous, petty and scattered. I love his eager to please performance and the vengettes about Johnny Thunders are priceless. It was kind of funny listening to Deedee talk about others kind of leading him down the tracks (of veins). If you haven't gotten good views of Deedee's tattoos---you will in this. Plus assorted disjointed meanings behind each one. Also, if you get the boxed set you'll get your very own temporary Deedee tattoos. Yipee! March 16, 2007

just a message about the film

the word is that lech did a thunders movie, born to lose, got music to the movie for 6 months and was hoping that some company would buy the movie and pay for the use of the music in the movie to use, since no film company did that lech was stuck with a movie about thunders with no permission to use the music in it, so he re-cut it and made a dee dee movie instead....

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda...Long Live Dee Dee

As many reviewers have stated, this is for Ramones Fans Only. If you are looking for stuff about the BAND, this ain't the place to look. If you are a Johnny Thunders fan, you will definitely wanna check this out.

Personally, I REALLY like Dee Dee and find him to be a very engaging, if sad, character. His place in music history is secure, but to see him near the end of his life, a wreck, and with little to show for his years as a legend, is sorta upsetting for your average Ramones fan to see. You should pick up his autobiog. to read a little bit more about Dee Dee the PERSON as opposed to the RAMONE.

He was a thoughtful and troubled man. Get this to learn more about HIM, not if you are looking for a Rockin' Good Time. May 3, 2005

For only True Ramones' fans, please...

This movie is, like I said, for True Ramones' fans only. It doesn't contain Dee Dee's story of his whole life, mainly, just after he left the band in July 1989- until he did the interview in 1992. I did enjoy this a bit, because of the extra gig video that was included- Johnny Thunders's version of "Chinese Rocks"- whcih, sorry to say, doesn't compare to The Ramones' version. Anyways, Dee Dee goes over classic times; such as him, Johnny Thunders, and Jerry Nolan (N.Y.D.) trying to form the "Whores of Babylon" in Paris, to other memorable moments. I was on the computer while I watched this movie, so I only got a jist of it, but it was still good. But, it's going to be too hard to get for un-devoted fans of The Ramones or Dee Dee.
