从业经历从74年组成到96年解散,经历了二十二年的长路远征,毋庸置疑的RAMONES事实上最历史悠久,最长寿的PUNK ROCK乐队,但不要忘记,RAMONES也是最早出现在乐坛上的PUNK ROCK队伍,在这个双重意义下,才是他们最难能可贵之处。
姑且无论早年曾有过THE STOOGES或THEWHO这些获誉为PROTO PUNK的乐队存在,但RAMONES才是摇滚式上第一队开宗明义的PUNK ROCK乐队;三个CHORD的简约摇滚曲式,短小精悍的平均不超过两分钟的歌曲长度,急激快板的节奏,嘈噪的吉他声,口号似的歌唱,YOBBISH的态度,简单的黑白唱片封套设计,只花掉了六千二百美元的唱片制作成本,在他们与76年发表的首张同名专辑里已标志着这种PUNK ROCK之蓝本. 而他们永远是皮褛加窄身牛仔裤加冬菇式长发的打扮,亦俨如成为乐队别树一帜的标记。
成立背景RAMONES的出现促使了纽约市的PUNK SCENE的形成,被公认为纽约崩坛头号乐队的他们,那仿佛是继THE VELVET UNDERGROUD后埋藏在地下音乐圈的另一颗炸弹.早年发迹且活跃于纽约市曼克顿区BOWERY STREET之表演场地CBGB的RAMONES (他们曾是CBGB的驻场乐队),便在当年联同TELEVISION,PATTI SMITH GROUP,BLONDIE,THE DEAD BOYS,TALKING HEADS等队缔造了这块传奇性纽约崩乐胜地.甚至笔者所收集到的一套摄制与78年的CBGB纪录片,便更实行以RAMONES的成名作BLITZKRIEG BOP为标题,可见他们之代表性.然而RAMONES之影响力不独在于美国本土上,他们的启蒙性甚至被视为英国PUNK MOVEMENT之源头----乐队在76年7月首次登陆英伦,于伦敦ROUNDHOUSE之演出,正式触发起英伦PUNK MOVEMENT衍生的历史性时刻,随即冒起的SEX PISTOLS,THE CLASH,BUZZCOCKS等乐队身
上都不难找到源自RAMONES的熏陶.在近期于UNCUT杂志的访问中,JOEY RAMONE便不讳言的说:"RAMONES触发了PUNK的开始,当我出道时我想我们是世上最积极的乐队,是PUNK MOVEMENT的蓝本,是MALCOLM MCLAREN取材的源头,我犹记得我听闻达一个说法是SEX POSTOLE表示过:'我们希望做出犹如RAMONES的声音.'即使JOE STRUMMER也说过THE CLASH是听着RAMONESDE唱片下学习弹奏音乐的".RAMONES影响着英国PUNK SCENE的爆发,然后英国则令PUNK变成一股一发不可收拾的音乐文化革命。
PUNK ROCK的出现是因为一种年轻乐队认为那些是七十年代的恐龙级/大使级摇滚乐太高不可攀,从而锐意重拾回ROCK 'N' ROLL最原始基本的音乐精神,RAMONES亦是如此.本身热衷于六十年代摇滚乐的他们,RAMONES的音乐风格其实是改良自早在六十年代初期的ROCK 'N' ROLL根源曲式,只是他们透过粗犷,吵杂,急激而不修饰的手法演奏出来.同时亦带出了犹如60'S-POP于SURF-POP般的快板节奏,JOEY的主唱曲调往往是以调子流畅押韵见称,加上他们在歌词见透过虚无主义的笔触下所流露出的黑色幽默题材,RAMONES的音乐所予人是绝对愉快的聆听经验,亦开启了所谓PUNK-POP的门户.乐队在76年至78年间所发表的四张专辑:RAMONES,LEAVES HOME,ROCKET TO RUSSIA和ROAD TO RUIN,都是他们最典范的作品,像BLITZKRIEG BOP,JUDY IS A PUNK,PINHEAD,SHEENA IS A PUNK
RICKER,ROCKAWAY BEACH,I WANNA BE SEDATED,SUZY IS A HEADBANGER等RAMONES的"国歌",便是这个时期的作品,到了九十年代,像GREEN DAY,RANCID,THE OFFAPRING等西岸PUNK POP巨星,便显然是承袭了与仿效着RAMONES的乐风而来.此外,在日本大阪市,有"女版REAMONES"之称的SHONEN KNIFE;在北京,也有大唱《你是我的雷蒙斯》的新裤子。
经典阵容来自纽约市皇后区的RAMONES,也由歌手RAMONE(原名JEFFEY HYMAN),吉他手JONNY RAMONE(原名JOHN RCUMMINGS)和鼓手TOMMY ROMONE,低音吉他手DEE DEE RAMONE(原名DOUGLAS COLVIN)作构成的阵容最为原装.其实原先他们是一队只有JOEY,JOHHY和DEE DEE三人的乐队, 而TOMMY则是其经理人,后来经过执位后才变成这个RAMONES的经典阵容.但像每一队历史悠久的乐队般,RAMONES亦饱尝成员进进出出的经历,尤以鼓手的位置最不稳定.在77年的ROCKET TO RUSSIA后,TOMMY便离队变成乐队的间歇性唱片监制,鼓手空缺由来自VOIDOIDS的MARKY RAMONE补上;在乐队于83年发表过第七张大碟SUBTERRNEAN JUNGLE后,MARKY一度退出,鼓手位置便由RICHIE RAMONE取代;但合作了三张专辑后,RICHIE有为之告辞,虽然空缺曾由BLONDIE的CLEM BURKE取代;但最后还是由MARKY归队补上,而低音吉他的DEE DEE亦在89年的BRAIN DRAIN专辑后离队,并化名为DEE DEE KING作个人发展(曾出版过一张声名狼藉的RAP MUSIC唱片),由CJ RAMONE(原名CHRISTOPHER JOHN WARD)取代他的位置,直至最后因JOEY亦有意离队,乐队便做出了解散的决定。
在乐坛上屹立了二十多载,纵使RAMONES仍一直把持着鲜明的PUNK ROCK的旗帜,但却不代表他们是一队一成不变的乐队.队员的替换跟不同的唱片监制合作,仍往往令RAMONES的每张专辑能出现或多或少的不同.MARKY加入后所发表的ROAD TO RUIN不但在音乐质感上有所提升,连歌曲长度也相对地增加,成为他们首张超过半小时长度的专辑;由PHIL SPECTOR监制的第五张专辑END OF THE CENTURY让他们重拾回60'S POP的根源,也是他们最富装饰性的一张唱片;1981年PLEASANT DREAMS由英国乐队10CC成员GRAHAM监制下,令他们的手法倾向重型,唯独一曲WE WANT THE AIRWAVES却流露了多少NEW WAVE式倾向.83年的SUBTERRANEAN JUNGLE时的两位监制RITCHIE CORDELL和GLEN KOKOTKIN是生产P0WER POP的美国独立唱片品牌BESERKLEY之创办人,故此也令他们重投PUNK的原始张力;在84年TOO TOUGH TO DIE里既可看到他们对西岸的HARDCORE SCENE作回想(ENDLESS VACATION),也显示了一种POST-PUNK的低调趋向(I'M NOT AFRAID OF LIFE),而碟内由EURYTHMICS成员DAVE STEWART监制的HOWING AT THE MOON则是他们向电气化NEW WAVE曲式作探讨之意图;甚至乎连前卫乐手BILL LASWELL,也曾为他们在BRIAN DARAIN(89年)是时期为乐队监制过I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES这首平平无奇之作.当然,RAMONES所为人津津乐道的典故还有他们在80年代带来过ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL这套B级电影,而他们另一次跟电影扯上关系,便是89年为STEPHEN KING的电影PET SEMATARY撰写主题曲。
HEY HO LET'S GO!(名字取自BLITZKRIEG BOP内的一句口号)这张ANTHOLOGY专辑是对ROAMONES二十多年来的音乐历程做出的总结.八十多页厚的书册正记载了乐队的历史故事与珍贵照片,而双CD内所选辑的五十八首作品,那几乎集齐所有RAMONES的代表作,然而也倒有一些漏网之鱼,像欠缺了SUZY IS HEADBANGER和用作炮轰里根总统的BONZO GOES TO BITBERG,便总有多少美中不足。
