Interview: C. J. Ramone - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes 2023 Tour

Interview: C. J. Ramone - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes 2023 Tour

We're officially back in the UTR office and what better way to get 2023 kicking than a chat with the one and only C. J. Ramone ? Bassist and sometimes singer for one of the greatest bands of all time The Ramones (inheriting the role from Dee Dee Ramone for their final three albums), and creator of five long players under his own moniker, the legendary US punk rocker returns to Aotearoa in mid-February as part of the rolling party that is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes . The gold suit wearing, all-star World's Greatest Cover Band are bringing the good times back to Auckland and Wellington in mid February , plus guitarist Joey Cape (frontman of Lagwagon) is squeezing in a concluding solo gig at Whammy Bar before they set sail abroad once more. C. J. Ramone spilled the beans to Chris Cudby about touring the world as a key member of the Gimmes' ever-changing lineup, his own rock 'n' roll "retirement" and lots more...

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?! 2023 Tour Friday 17th February - San Fran, Wellington [sold out] Saturday 18th February - Studio, Auckland Tickets available HERE via UTR

Joey Cape (Lagwagon) Solo Sunday 19th February - Whammy Bar, Auckland Tickets available HERE via UTR

C. J. Ramone: My job now is strictly to be the bass player in the Gimmes. I don't carry gear, I don't have to do the books at the end of the tour. I don't have to deal with clubs and industry people, I don't have to do anything. I'm back to where I started with the Ramones. I walk in, I pick up my bass, I play the songs and I'm done. So it's a good retirement job.

Chris Cudby: I have heard there's a thing that happens at Gimme Gimmes shows, where fans throw money on stage. Is that a real thing? What's going on there?

That's a real thing, oh boy. Spike [Slawson] is a really good entertainer. I mean, he's a really great frontman. He knows how to entertain the crowd. It's interesting to watch people listen to what he's saying and then try to figure out if they should be insulted or if they should be laughing, or if he's including them in the joke, or making a joke of them. He does one little skit in the set and people just feel inspired to throw money up on stage. I'm not talking about dollar bills — twenties, tens.

How long's that been going on for?

It's been going on for a little while. I keep waiting to get my cut, but it doesn't seem to turn up ever.

What year did you become a regular member of the Gimmes? Were you guesting with them previously?

I did a couple of little things with them in 2018 and then 2019 I actually did a bunch of shows with them. And then of course 2020 and 2021 is a big zero for everybody. Then this year, we started going at it pretty heavy.

The lineup for the Gimme Gimmes that can change around a little bit depending on who's available. Do you know who's going to be traveling our way in February?

We do tours sometimes where guitar players will come and go multiple times, over the course of the tour. Pinch plays drums, formerly of the Damned, English Dogs. Pinch and I are kind of the two mainstays at this point. Which is nice because you want to have a solid rhythm section. You want the rhythm section to to be consistent. But guitar players... since I've been in the band I've probably played with six or seven guitar players. Including Jonny 2 Bags from Social Distortion and Stacey Dee from Good Cop, Bad Cop and Scott Shiflett from Face to Face. Of course Joey Cape who is an original member from Lagwagon. John Reese plays with us now, on this next run of dates we're doing out here... John's from Rocket From The Crypt. And then Jake Kiley from Strung Out, Dan Root from The Adolescents.

I've played with so many guitar players since I've been in the band. Sometimes we'll have the rhythm guitar player for five shows and then a replacement comes in, and the lead guitar player who started the tour leaves and a different lead guy comes in. We've done tours with multiple lineup changes, but it's kind of fun. Each guitar player of course plays their own style, so stylistically you get a little bit something different when other guys come in. Australia and New Zealand — I know Joey Cape is coming out and I'm not really sure who's playing my side of the stage [this interview was conducted in late November '22].

When you were learning all those songs for the Gimme Gimmes, was that quite a challenge? It's in a specific style, but there's quite a broad range of music.

Yeah and there's also the added thing of the conversion of the songs, from what they were originally — in their pop form to punk rock style. The guys who recorded the [songs] were all high end players, so it wasn't real easy for me. What made it easier was that it was really fun. First of all, I had to learn to alternate pick. I never alternate picked before in my life, I've only down strummed ala Ramones style. I had to learn how to alternate pick, and then that meant I had to position my bass a little bit higher and get used to a new playing position as well as a playing style. I went from playing mostly root note basslines, just pounding out those root notes with a fast down strumming, to suddenly riffing and playing stuff that was not familiar to me. So as much as it was work, I really, really enjoyed it. I really had a good time with it. It was the most bass playing I had done without standing on a stage in years. I hadn't sat down and played bass that much in years.

We're about to do we do a Christmas run, every year of the California coast. We usually start out in Southern California and work our way up north. This year we're doing one in Arizona, and then the rest up the coast. Of course for the Christmas show, Spike transcribed some Christmas songs into punk rock songs. Spike has a really nice gift of taking something simple and making it complicated. So a Christmas song that should be three or four chords suddenly turns into a pretty intense arrangement. But it's fun, I really do enjoy it. Especially because I can't read or write music, I play my ear. Anytime something new comes along, the way I learn things is: if I can hum it, I can play it... I never took lessons so I taught myself how to play and that was something I worked out when I was young. If I can hum that baseline I can play it.

That's a good handy tip for everyone.

I still use that little trick now and it still serves me well.

Will there be any Ramones or C. J. Ramone songs as part of your set?

No, there is not. There are a couple of nods to the Ramones, where there's one song that we do in this set that starts out with a Ramones riff... the Ramones riff is used as an intro to a Beach Boys song. You know the Ramones were very influenced by the Beach Boys right. There's that little cool connection. I've had friends say "they're a covers band and they're not doing any any Ramones songs?" And I'm like... look at the catalogue of the band, they're not doing covers of punk rock classics. They're not about that at all.

It'd be a bit too close to home right?

They're mostly guilty pleasure songs. Songs that people of a certain age enjoyed when they were young, but are loath to admit that they liked them now in their cool punk rock crowd [ laughs ]. Nobody in the punk rock crowd goes "I really liked that Elton John song when I was young". Punk rock crowd, metal kids, they're like, "I've only been into punk rock. I've only been into metal I never liked anything else".

When you joined the band, did they give you a custom gold shirt? And how many outfits do you have for the tour? Because you'd get pretty sweaty on stage, right?

We have so many outfits that we actually have somebody in charge of wardrobe. We have a big road case full of all the different outfits that we wear from night to night. When I first got into the band I inherited Jay Bentley's stuff, but Jay's on the thin side and I'm a little more spread out, so I eventually had to get my own stuff. I was just busting out of Jay's stuff. But it's funny to see the guitar players having to move into other people's wardrobes. It's one of the aspects of this band that has a lot in common with being in the Ramones. I get the hardcore Ramones fans who are like, "C. J. what the heck you're on stage wearing those stupid looking shoes and shiny shirts and blah blah blah and this and that." I'm like — so you liked my uniform when I was in the Ramones, the high tops and jeans and leather jacket, but you don't like the uniform of the Gimmes? To me it's just another uniform, just another way to kind of climb into a persona, so to speak.

I really enjoy it. Not that I have anything to prove to anybody or anything like that... I've toured the world, I've done everything I ever wanted to do when I was a kid, from being in the military to children and marriages and played in a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band. I've done everything and I realised, I just don't take anything seriously anymore, I just want to have fun, I just want to enjoy myself. Kind of get back to where I was in the very beginning, when I first started playing bass it was just for fun. Meet girls, play parties, have fun y'know. I guess I've gone full circle.

Interviewing c.j. ramone: bassist carries on punk founders’ legacy while creating his own.

Author

When punk rock’s founding fathers The Ramones retired the band in 1996, its bassist C.J. Ramone ending up largely leaving music within three years.

Ramone (nee Christopher Joseph Ward), who joined the group in 1989 to replace founding bassist Dee Dee Ramone, briefly played in The Ramones legacy band The Remainz with Dee Dee and drummer Marky Ramone. Then he formed Los Gusanos, with whom he recorded three EPs and an album.

He also started a family, and in 1999, Ramone’s young son was diagnosed with autism. Ramone says his priority suddenly changed to caring for the boy, largely putting his music career to an end.

Fifteen years later, Ramone is back.

In late November, he released a solo album, “Last Chance to Dance,” that catches the fun punk atmosphere of The Ramones. Ramone now is taking the new music on a tour that comes to Underground Arts in Philadelphia on Sunday.

The album makes him the only surviving member of The Ramones to release original music since the group split. Founding members Dee Dee, Joey, Johnny and Tommy all have died. Former drummer Marky tours, but plays only Ramones covers. Another former drummer, Richie, no longer performs.

The album, released on the California-based Fat Wreck Chords label, teems with upbeat, poppy punk that shares a lot sonically with The Ramones, and has the same humorously perverse lyrics touching on politics and romance.

In a recent telephone call from his home in Long Island, N.Y., Ramone talked about the new music, his time with The Ramones and his future. Here’s an edited transcript of the call:

LEHIGH VALLEY MUSIC: Tell me about “Last Chance to Dance.” What were you looking to do with that album and how do you think it turned out?

“Well, you gotta go back a little bit, so you know where I’m coming from. The album before I had put out myself called ‘Reconquista’ [in 2012] it was kind of my comeback record. I had gotten back to getting out on the road in 2008, 2009, doing a couple shows here and there. And by 2012, 2011 , I was really ready to do a new record. And of course anything that I do as CJ Ramone, it’s got to kind of live up to that name. And that’s not a small thing for me.

“So I was really intent on doing it the right way. I actually recorded ‘Reconquista’ three different times and I wasn’t happy with it, and I got in a tight spot. And I got in touch with my buddy Steve Soto from The Adolescents and explained to him what was going on, and he said, ‘Come out to California, we’ll get you hooked up, don’t worry about it.

“So I went out to California with Steve and me, him and a drummer that we had both played with when Steve was in Twenty-two Jacks – I had done some shows with them down in Australia – and so we pulled him in and we jumped into the studio. And Steve had lined up a bunch or really great special guests. Everybody from Billy Zoom from X to Jay Bentley from Bad religion – a whole bunch of really great guitar players and bass players came out and did it.

“So that record, ‘Reconquista,’ I was really super proud of it when we were done with it. I loved the sound – we recorded at the Racket Room out in Santa Ana, California, with Jim Monroe turning the knobs and was really happy with the record.

“We got out on the road and started to do some touring for it … and while I was out on that tour I was already working on the next record. And that’ pretty much how it went. I wrote most of those songs while out on tour for ‘Reconquista.’ And when I was ready to do it, I liked ‘Reconquista’ so much I figured, ‘Why not go ahead and just do it the same way? Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke, that’s always kind of been my thing.

“So that’s what I did and I was just as happy. I really like ‘Reconquista,’ but it was a little dark, a little bit on the dark side. But it was just a reflection of stuff that I had gone through since The Ramones retired and all that stuff – some things I needed to get off my chest and what not.

“So when we got in to do ‘Last Chance to Dance,’ it was a lighter record – it was not quite as serious, I guess. Lyrically it’s not as dark as ‘Reconquista.’ So it was actually a little bit more fun doing that one and I liked it just as much as ‘Reconquista.’ So nothing really – not guiding hand behind it or guiding principle behind it. Just what I usually do, and that’s write songs about what’s on my mind or stuff I’ve been through or stuff that’s influenced me over time.”

You talk about it having that lighter, more fun feel or whatever – and when I listen to the album, it reminds me of The Ramones because of that. It has that same sort of vibe to it or whatever.

“Yeah, and you know , people have asked me, ‘Are you trying to write Ramones-sounding records because your name is CJ Ramone and you’re trying to carry on The Ramones? And that’s really not what it is. But the best way for me to explain it is, you know, I was in the band for seven years. For seven years I lived it to the bone, you know what I mean? And on top of it, I was a huge fan since I was a kid. Dee Dee was probably one of my biggest influences. So anything that sounds familiar in my songs to The Ramones, it’s because I’m like any other Ramones fan. I’m hugely influenced by them, you know what I mean?

“And it’s not just musically. I became influenced by them on a personal level, too, because I got to be really good friends with them. They were my [laughs] peers, so to speak – not really, they were more like my mentors. Joey was really like a good friend to me. It’s like learning a language. You always learn a language best if you get immersed in the culture of the people, right? [Laughs] That’s kind of what happened to me. And I learned a lot about songwriting when I was with them. I sat down with Joey and wrote songs together. Johnny explained to me how they wrote their songs, and I was an eager student. I listened to everything they said and I took everything they said seriously and took it to heart.

“So by the time I was able to sit down and write my own songs, of course I was going to be influenced by them.”

Yeah, and I totally get that and that’s my reaction to it, too. I can feel that Ramones – the sense of The Ramones in there, but it doesn’t sound like you’re trying to copy them or trying to be them. I totally get that.

“I appreciate that.”

Let me fill in a little more of the story there. So you leave The Ramones, you play briefly with The Remainz [a splinter Ramones show with Marky and Dee-Dee Ramone] and then you have other bands, too, right? Los Gusanos [with which he released three EPs and an album in the 1990s], Warm Jets, Bad Chopper. What was that period like? What was happening then?

“Pretty much right after The Ramones retired I started a family. So my personal life got a little bit more complicated. It became tough to tour – my boy, who was born in ’97, by ’99, was diagnosed with autism. You know, I tried to continue touring with Los Gusanos at the time but it was juts too much on my son’s mom and it was just too stressful of a situation at home. So I pretty much put music off, I pretty much packed it in. I dissolved Los Gusanos and that was it. And believe me, I didn’t do it with a heavy heart or anything like that. I had played in The Ramones, I had traveled the world. As far as being a musician, the only thing I never did was make a lot of money, which didn’t really matter to me, considering the experiences that I get from it.

“But I bowed out and I got to work on taking care of my son, and then my daughter came along and eventually me and my kids’ mom split up, I ended up with custody, so I was a single dad for a while. In that time period I did the Bad Chopper record; I had a group of songs I had written and a few newer ones. Because I never could, of course, totally put it down. To this day, I still sit around every night with my acoustic guitar and mess around a little bit.

“And so I went into the studio with a friend of mine, Mark, and we did that record, we did the bad Chopper record. And we played a couple of shows, goofing around. Not much, you know – went over to Japan and South America, but nothing real serious.

“And [laughs] in that time period, I was offered the position to play bass for Metallica, but I was not able to do it because of my boy. Johnny [Ramone] was good friend with Kirk Hammet and when Jason Newstead left, Johnny got in touch. We had done Lollapalooza with them in ’96 and so they had already seen me play and heard me play, and he said they want you. And I told him, ‘There’s no way I could do it, John. I can’t, there’s no way. He was real upset, but I told him, ‘Let me tell you what – let me talk to my son’s doctor and see what he says. I talked to my son’s doctor and he said exactly what I knew he’d say: My son needs to wake up in the same place every day, eat his meals at the same time, need to go to school and put on and off the bus by you and you got to be there for him.

“So I passed it up and then [laughs] he called me back a couple months later when they still hadn’t found anybody and he asked me again and I told him, ‘John, I really appreciate it, but I can’t do it.’ This was actually when I was still with my two older kids’ mom.

“But yeah, there was some musical stuff going on there. But pretty much I was really just trying to make sure my son was taken care of and that was in a stable environment and all that stuff. And of course take care of my daughter, too, who was like my little helper there for a long time.”

Well God bless you for being that type of father.

“That’s one thing I can honestly say for myself. [Laughs] Not to pat myself on the back, but when you make a commitment, in my opinion, you make a commitment. You know what I mean? It’s not something that I ever take lightly, but especially with kids. If you’re a sh-tbird of a parent, your kid ain’t got much of a chance in life to be much. It would have been really nice for me to just take off and join Metallica. Can you imagine how that would read – my life’s history: I played with The Ramones and then I played with Metallica. One of the biggest bands of all time and the biggest underground band of all times.”

” So it would looked nice on my resume. But for the most part, my son, I don’t think, really would have had as good a shot as he did. And the little footnote on it all is if you met my son now, you wouldn’t even know he was autistic. He’s high honor roll at school, No. 2 runner on the cross-country team. He’s on his way to college. He’s got one more year of high school and he’s going to college for culinary arts. He’s amazing.

“And I’m not saying this because I didn’t join Metallica and I’m such a great dad. I just think if I was not home to insure that he got everything he needed and got the services and worked with him every day, I think he wouldn’t have had as good a shot as being where he is right now.”

Yeah, as a father, I guarantee you that it shows you that you did the right thing.

“Realistically, the story about Metallica, I don’t put it out there to be like, ‘Yeah, Metallica wanted me.’ But I hope that somewhere there’s a dad with an autistic kid that will hear that and get a little bit of something out of it. To be like, ‘I understand what it’s gonna take.’ “Cause it really is not an easy road by any stretch of the imagination but the fact is, your kid’s only got as good a shot as you give him.”

Looking back on your time in The Ramones, is there any sort of fondest moments or most profound moments that stand out to you? That you would really may you say “Light My Fire”?

“Um, there’s always the obvious ones of my first show, the Lollapalooza tour or even my first audition, stuff like that. That’s all the real obvious stuff. But I think probably the ones that are most important to me are definitely the more personal kind of moments. Because I was a fan before I got into the band. So it’s more or less the stuff that I did with Johnny and Joey outside of touring and outside of music that really are my most fond memories. Going to a baseball game with Johnny or going to a show with Joey. Stuff like that – those are really the most important moments for me.

“If you’re asking my best moments on stage – absolutely my first show, and probably the last show, when Lemmy [of Motorhead] came up and me and Lemmy stood next to each other and did [the Motorhead song] ‘Ramones’ and singing harmonies together and all that stuff. That moment right there is a tough one to beat – being on stage with The Ramones and Lemmy, playing a song that Lemmy wrote and mentioned my name in [Laughs]. That’s a tough one to beat.”

Looking back, are there any bad memories?

“Uh, yeah, of course. Being in a band is just like being in a family. There’s a lot of fun, but there’s a lot of sh-tty times, too. So I almost got into a fight with Johnny at one point. There was a point between the set and the first encore I walked over to say something to Joey and he had had bad night and he turned around and took a swing at me.

“There’s always, always, bad moments. Living together for weeks at a time, not really being able to get away from each other, it’s always tough on you when you’re on the road. But nothing that I regret. No moments where I was like, ‘Oh, I wish I hadn’t have said that’ or ‘I wish I wouldn’t have done that.’ Nothing like that.”

It’s interesting to hear you say anything that’s not great about John because I just read Marky’s book and in it, he sort of paints you like a follower of John. Like John was your champion.”

“I mean, I spent a lot of time with Johnny, but I spent a lot of time with Joey, too. Johnny was more like my teacher or my mentor in the band. Johnny was the guy who ran the band. He was the smartest guy in the band. He was the brains. And he was the guy who hired me. So of course I’m going to favor him. Of course I’m going to listen to him.”

You mentioned the fact that The Ramones were such a big underground band. I was a Ramones fan back in 1980, and it kills me to walk into a Gap or something and see Ramones shirts.

“[Laughs]”

What do you think is behind the longevity, the popularity that still remains with The Ramones? Why do you think that is?

“Uh, The Ramones had a really, really interesting combination of things. They really were like the evil Bay City Rollers.”

“You know what I mean? They had this really poppy, bubble-gum part to their music that was, like, unbelievably catchy and undeniable, and then they had that heavy guitar sound and Dee Dee’s maniacal, really quick-tempoed bass playing. So it was like a really odd arrangement of things, but it just worked. It really, really worked well.

“And if you go a little bit further – ’cause that’s what their early career was. If you think about it [sings By City Rollers’ ‘Saturday Night’] S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night’ from the Bay City Rollers, it’s just ‘Rock and rock and roll radio, Let’s Go’ [from ‘Rock and Roll Radio]. You know what I mean? They were like the evil boy band. I mean, who would ever have picked Joey Ramone to be a front man?

“There were so many odd, quirky things about them but it was something that worked. And they just had that thing – that thing that all great bands like The Beatles and The Stones and all those types of band have. They just had a very odd mix of things that worked really well together.

“And I think the reason why, after all these years, their music is still popular is because, like those bands, their music is timeless. It’s classic music. And no matter what happens, no matter what changes go on in music and how much they fuse different styles and everything, that real roots style of music will always be popular. It will always be popular.”

C.J. RAMONE, with Schonen Knife and Quintron and Miss Pussycat, 8 p.m. Sunday June 21, Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., Philadelphia. Tickets: $15 general admission. Info: www.undergroundarts.org
