With just three chords and bold lyrics, the RAMONES revolutionized the increasingly bombastic rock scene with the raw energy of punk in 1976 with their self-titled debut album “Ramones”. Over the decades, the New Yorkers influenced some of the most famous rock, punk and metal bands such as BLACK FLAG, NIRVANA, METALLICA, CIRCLE JERKS, WHITE ZOMBIE, PEARL JAM and GUNS N' ROSES - to name but a few. MOTÖRHEAD even dedicated a song to the RAMONES. The band embodied the punk underground, which they had helped to bring to life in 1974. The Americans remained true to their sound and style for several decades, inspiring generations of musicians and gaining eternal cultural significance, although they were hardly able to celebrate any great commercial success themselves. Magnetic Eye's Redux series was created as a tribute to classic albums from music history. Together with “Ramones Redux”, we also present the companion album “Best of Ramones Redux”, which contains further classics and rarities from the US punk legend's extensive and unique catalog. The Magnetic Eye Redux series allows selected artists to completely reinterpret hand-picked classic albums from the history of rock and metal and respectfully transfer them into the new millennium. So far, the label has released such milestones as PINK FLOYD's “The Wall”, HELMET's “Meantime”, BLACK SABBATH's “Vol. 4”, JIMI HENDRIX's “Electric Ladyland”, “Dirt” by ALICE IN CHAINS, AC/DC's “Back in Black”, SOUNDGARDEN's ‘Superunknown’ and the JETHRO TULL classic “Aqualung” in Redux versions. Among many others, such outstanding artists as MATT PIKE, PALLBEARER, THE MELVINS, ALL THEM WITCHES, KHEMMIS, ASG, ZAKK WYLDE, MARK LANEGAN, SCOTT REEDER have participated in various Redux projects. Buckle up and get on board for Magnetic Eye's ninth expedition into the Redux adventure, paying tribute to the legendary US punk pioneers RAMONES!
