History of Ramones T-Shirts with Monte A. Melnick (Ramones tour manager) & John Holstrom (PUNK Magazine)
The Ramones tour manager Monte A. Melnick and Founder of Punk Magazine John Holstrom sat down with ECC (East Coast Connection) to talk about the history of The Ramones T-Shirt. Tracing back to the beginnings in a loft on 4th street all the way through to the final tour 2,263 shows later. We spoke about how Arturo Vega (The Ramones Artistic Director) came up with the original concept of the eagle and how it changed into the well-known logo of The Ramones. Richard Colligan (Owner of Metropolis Vintage) is the host of the conversation. Richard brought along his extensive collection of Vintage Ramones T-Shirts displayed throughout the entire interview. If you want to see how Rock T-Shirts became a major source of income and developed into a major collectible, watch the video as we revisit the history of The Ramones logo from simple typeface lettering to the Presidential seal logo that is known worldwide.
