It would have obviously been a lot easier to get up on stage in jeans and T-shirts and go, ‘Okay, here we are–we’re the Ramones!’ And that would have been just as valid, but it would not have been honest.”Īccording to Simmons, there was nobody involved in the creating of the four iconic makeup looks as he was the one who sat in front of a mirror in a loft in downtown New York and drew on himself. That’s where the makeup and dressing up came in. Getting up on stage was almost a holy place for us, like church, so being on stage looking like a bum wasn’t my idea of respect. This doesn’t negate what the Dead and other bands were doing it just wasn’t us. We weren’t a Grateful Dead kind of band that would get onstage and look worse than the roadie delivering our stuff.

The MountainClan and Valle圜lan war was enough to set all cats on edge, and just mentioning the opposing clan would send every cat into a defensive panic. Though the tension in the air of MountainClan's camp began to subside, and cats finally felt comfortable being able to just step out of their dens and talk about something other than plans. As the sun began to rise upon Mountainclan's camp, there was a silence in the air, but the cats of the Clan welcomed it wholeheartedly. Wilson claims he concealed them for 30 years.
