(antiMusic) MVD has set a March 10th release for Dee Dee Ramone: History On My Arms DVD, which includes a bonus CD called Dee Dee Blues. Here is the info they sent over: This is Lech Kowalski's 2003 documentary Hey Is Dee Dee Home - about the life and times of Ramones bassist and all-star burn out, Dee Dee Ramone (1952-2002) - with new bonus short films History on My Arms and Vom In Paris (each clocking in at just under half an hour) plus a bonus CD. History On My Arms captures Dee Dee's extraordinary personality in a way that has never been done before. Kowalski was struck by how playful and direct he was with the camera. How he wanted to connect with something inside of himself and expose his true nature.
Vom In Paris - In Hey Is Dee Dee Home, Dee Dee recounts the now infamous story about what happened between him, Johnny Thunders and Stiv Bators when they got together in Paris in 1989 to form a super punk group. But what really did happen?
Kowalski invited Vom Ritchie, currently drummer for Die Toten Hosen, to come to Paris to explain the story as he remembers it. He was the drummer on those sessions and affectionately and vividly differs with what Dee Dee said, but somehow you get the impression that both of them are right.
The bonus CD entitled Dee Dee Blues is a re-mastered collection of guitar recordings Dee Dee made in the early 90's, just for the fun of it with one microphone.
