Dee Dee Ramone vs. Johnny Thunders | Punk Rock Music History | Frumess
from FRUMESS · host Jeff Frumess
Dee Dee Ramone and Johnny Thunders were not just musical contemporaries, but also good friends and using buddies during the New York City Lower East Side punk rock musical heyday of the late 1970s. At one point, Dee Dee gave Richard Hell of The Heartbreakers and later Voidoids his blessing to use a song he wrote that was meant to rival Lou Reed's Velvet Underground song "Heroin." Dee Dee's version was known as "Chinese Rocks." This song would go on to be the spark that would blow up a powderkeg between Thunders and Dee Dee. Frumess explains.
