MLPP29 - Monte A. Melnick (Ramones' Tour Manager)

Hey! Ho! we went. We are joined this week by author, rock n roll logistical master-mind and all round nice chap, Monte A. Melnick. Tour Manager to the Ramones from their inception to the bitter end. Is it possible to write and record an album if two key band members refuse to interact? Could you keep your cool being held hostage by a gun-toting maniac? Have you ever had to navigate through a warzone with a bunch of punk rockers in tow? Probably not, but that’s why Monte was the Ramones’ Tour Manager and you weren’t. We’ve got all this and more as well as Tom’s recollection of being woken up by artillery fire whilst on tour, Niallism’s Friday and Saturday night ritual in the early noughties and additional tunes from Screw 32 and Geoffery OIcott.
