| | End of the Century: the Story of the Ramones DVD review |
 | | Music, rock music especially, not only defines each new generation, but ultimately becomes owned by it, something they have that links them to their peers and distances them from their parents, who are just unable to understand or connect with it, or at least that's the theory. |
 | | The Ramones, for those who do not know, were innovators, kicking against the bland pop and ten-minute solos of their mainstream contemporaries, their short tracks, simple but punchy lyrics, belting pace and aggressive guitar work proving one of the key inspirations for the punk rock movement that was shortly to explode. |
 | | As mentioned above, End of the Century has been constructed from material shot on and sourced from a wide variety of media, ranging from what appears to be high-end video for a couple of the interviews to fuzzy sub-VHS fl-and-white for the early performance footage. |
