Ramones drummer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Ramone>Tommy Ramone: "In its initial form, a lot of [1960s] stuff was innovative and exciting. Unfortunately, what happens is that people who could not hold a candle to the likes of Hendrix started noodling away. Soon you had endless solos that went nowhere.
