# Talk:Animal Boy

Someone can tell me why Animal Boy was classfied as Crossover Thrash? Truly, I didn't see any trace of the style on this album. Based in what someone can classify this album as Crossover Thrash? Yes, it's more heavy than other Ramone's albums, but not at this point. I want see sources to validate this argument.

Someone threatened to block my IP from editing because I felt the citations needed for Love Kills and My Brain is Hanging Upside Down were not necessary. Since it is clear in the lyrics that Love Kills is about what the Wikipedia article says it is about, I took out requests to cite references. My Brain is Hanging Upside Down is very commonly known to be about Ronald Reagan going to Germany. 
I'm not sure why this person threatened my IP with action, as I have never had trouble on this site before. I also don't know how valid the threat to block me was since I went to the user's page, and this user was on a list of blocked or suspended users.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.65.103 (talk) 00:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC) 

I remember reading in a book written by one of the Ramones that Johnny played the bass for Love Kills. It was either in Poison Heart or Commando, I can come back in a couple days with verification of that because I have both books  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.89.217.201 (talk) 17:45, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

despite Animal Boy's predecessor Too Tough Too Die being acclaimed for the band returning to their roots. suggest you change this to despite the predecessor to Animal Boy, Too Tough Too Die, being acclaimed as the Ramones' return to their roots.
@CrowzRSA: That is all of my suggestions, passing now. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 13:26, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

"[...] "Animal Boy" and "Apeman Hop" were compositionally similar to "Cretin Hop" from 1977's Rocket to Russia, but were described by True to be "a thousandth as good." "
That makes no sense to me. Animal Boy was their 2nd song with a "thrash" beat, and Apeman Hop has the same main riff as Commando. Cretin Hop is nothing like either of them.
Does someone know an accessable source? The source quoted here seems to be some kind of magazine. I`d like to know if theres some sense behind this review. or if it`s garbage from someone who doesn`t know the material and should be deleted. 13Drumsticks (talk) 22:25, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
