"Reading Carl Cafarelli's Gabba Gabba Hey, I'm reminded of the excitement and uniqueness of this band that saved rock 'n' roll. There was never anyone else like them, and all of the joy and bedlam and fire and dedication that fueled the Ramones can be found in these pages. All that's missing is a Dee Dee-shouted "1-2-3-4" intro."

"Ramones books? I've just about read them all. If there's one I've been waiting for, it's Carl Cafarelli's ode to the band he calls 'the American Beatles'." These four 1994 interviews with Joey, Johnny, Marky and C.J. were conducted separately, but Cafarelli pieces them together as only a lifelong fan could to create an intimate oral history of the legendary Queens quartet up to that point. Gabba Gabba Hey! is as short and sharp as any of the band's best songs. A must read for Ramones fans." –S.W. Lauden, Forbidden Beat: Perspectives on Punk Drumming
"A veritable treasure trove of valuable information and first-person reminiscences from America's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band, Carl Cafarelli's Gabba Gabba Hey is an engaging, fascinating and often humorous look at what made the Ramones tick, as recalled by the ones who made the magic happen." –John M. Borack, Contributing Editor, Goldmine Magazine
