We're Outta Here Addendum

We're Outta Here Box Set

When the album was first released in 1997, some copies were bundled with a "Ramones Film Crew" VHS. It's reported to be a long documentary about the final concert with interviews and prior concert footage in between. I own it but I haven't seen it due to not owning a reliable VHS player (Mine is older than the documentary). It hasn't been re-released in the US, but it's available in Europe on DVD (It's possibly PAL and Region Coded, so importers beware).


The Final Update?

No, this is not the final update. There's still a ton of Ramones products that I've yet to purchase and there may even be new releases to pick up. I still don't own the You Don't Come Close live CD, Weird Tales of the Ramones, and tons more. I might not get to it all in a weekly or even monthly basis, but I'll still review the stuff as soon as I get it.


"Blitzkrieg Bop"
This is the final Blitzkrieg Bop performed by the four Ramones, and it comes in at one minute, 36 seconds. Compared to the 2:13 original, the band eliminated 37 seconds of slowness! Quality-wise it's subjective, but the impact is amazing. If you are really picky about it, there's a two second intro to this song, making it about 1:34 seconds. Yes, it's that fast!
