TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The classic line up at CBGBs famously went into reverse in terms of the band's record sales. Headliners Television had one album which just scraped the Billboard 100 then disappeared, and their sequel Adventure sold poorly. The Ramones had hits and solid album sales, but less than the band below them on the bill, Talking Heads. Bottom of the bill were a band described by the New York Times as a gimmick band who would never sell, despite their moderately 'applealing" lead singer. They were called Blondie, one of the biggest selling bands in pop history.

The real Cheetah Chrome (Rupert Grint role) plays an extra as a taxi cab driver.

Lou Reed is featured; he died of liver disease sixteen days after the release of this film.

Alan Rickman was in his mid to late sixties when playing a man in his mid to late thirties.

The scene where Debbie Harry flirts with the audience is disingenuous. Harry was careful to never use her sex appeal, and would never says things like "do you like my shorts" as she does here.

Popular Dialogues

"Hilly Kristal: [Being introduced to the Ramones] What do you guys have for me? Joey Ramone: We got four songs. I don't wanna walk around with you, I don't wanna be learned, I don't wanna be tamed and I don't wanna go down to the basement. Hilly Kristal: Lot of things you don't wanna do."

"Genya Ravan: What the fuck it's that? Cheetah Chrome: What? Genya Ravan: Get rid of those fucking things. Stiv Bators: They just stickers. Genya Ravan: Hilly, your manager, the guy who is footing the bill for this, is Jewish. Me, your producer, I'm Jewish. And the guy who owns this studio, who is doing us a favor by letting us recording at this ridiculous prices, he's got numbers tattooed in his arm. Do you know what that means? Cheetah Chrome: Not really. Genya Ravan: Auschwitz. Hitler. Nazis. Now get rid of those fucking swastikas."
