RockerMike and Rob presents: Monte A. Melnick
RockerMike and Rob presents: Monte A. Melnick \n\nRamones Tour Manager Monte A. Melnick on the fights, the insanity, and the passions!\nThe Ramones formed in March of 1974 and broke up in August of 1996 and Monte A. Melnick was a witness to almost every moment of their groundbreaking and influential career. But his connection to the band goes back even further\u2014to junior high school and their Forest Hills neighborhood in Queens. In his wonderful book On The Road With The Ramones (Sanctuary), he details his time with the band, which included traveling with them for most of their 2,263 live shows.\nSome people have called him \u201cThe Fifth Ramone,\u201d which is fitting (though he is uncomfortable with the designation), because there is no one who spent more time or had closer physical proximity to the band then Monte, especially since his job was not limited to days when the band was on tour; it was a fifty-two-week-a-year gig of solving problems and negotiating the oversized and increasingly at odds personalities of the band members, while keeping the Ramones machine moving forward through 22 years of highs and lows, personnel changes, and music business baloney.\nAfter speaking with him, I can understand how he was able to last so long in such a challenging position. He\u2019s unflappable and modest, with a dedication to the band that is still strong 22 plus years after they played their last show.\n\nhttps://m.facebook.com/monte.a.melnick\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/montea.melnick/?hl=en\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Road-Ramones-Monte-Melnick/dp/1847721036\n\nhttp://www.classicbands.com/MonteAMelnickInterview.html\n\nhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/redvelvetmedia/2019/08/02/monte-a-melnick-on-the-road-with-the-ramones-bonus-edition\n\n https://g.co/kgs/wxEXBU\n\nhttps://www.sflmusic.com/memory-road-with-monte-a-melnick/\n\n\n#musicvideo #musicstudio #musiclover #musiclife #musicindustry #musiclovers #musiccover #musician #ramones #musicproducer #musicproduction #musicians #musicislife #musicartist #musicphotography #musicvideos #Music\n\nPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossi\n\nGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup\nAnd \nhttps://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/\n\nhttps://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80\n\nhttps://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net\n\nhttps://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb\n\n\nSubscribe to the channel and hit the like button \n\n--- This episode is sponsored by \xb7 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support \n\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708\n\nhttps://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a\n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup
