Marky and Tommy are left. Tommy was one of the original four. Marky came in to replace him on the drums when T decided to focus soley on producing.
Whether you're fan of the Ramones, punk rock, rock and roll or just a good documentary flick, I strongly recommend END OF THE CENTURY, recently released. Awesome doc with sensational footage, intriguing interviews. Johnny said of the flick: "It's accurate. It left me disturbed."

Johnny Ramone -- guitarist and co-founder of "The Ramones" -- has died. He was 55. His publicist said he died in his sleep Wednesday afternoon at his Los Angeles home surrounded by friends and family. He had battled prostate cancer for five years.
He co-founded "The Ramones" in 1974 with Joey Ramone, DeeDee Ramone and Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band.
A tribute concert and cancer research fundraiser was held Sunday in Los Angeles to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary. It featured performances by Los Angeles punk band X, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Henry Rollins and others.

awww man, what a shame!
Even Bruce Springsteen was moved. After seeing the Ramones in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Springsteen wrote "Hungry Heart" for the band. His manager, however, swayed him to keep the song for himself and it became a hit single.
That song probably woulda been good done by the Ramones...

ugh...one of the prime examples/motivators of the punk scene and that can only inspire an insipid song like "hungry heart"? 
Man they all fall like dominoes....
i never was a big fan of the Ramones, Punk always reminded me of surf music when i was a youngin, but as i grew up i either got lame or more sophisticated and grew fond of them. For a small sack of weed and some agility to hop a fence i got to see them live twice in the early 90's. i'm really glad i did.

Saw them twice at CBGB in NYC when I lived there.
Found out the secret to CBGB. When there is nothing on the marquis you NEED to be there because something cool is about to happen.

Well if anyone could do anything to make that song somewhat tolerable it would have been the Ramones. I never understood the Springsteen thing...I mean, I hate to say anyones music sucks because I'm sure it's not easy to write music, play music, whatever...but still...what is it that people saw in Springsteen...
Anyway, I'm glad I got to see the Ramones 3 times back in the day...

Sweet...so you just happened upon the Ramones! What an awesome thing to happen upon!
Yup just cruisin around in the city one night and a buddy says, "Hey lets see who is at CBGB." We got there and the marquis was blank and decided to go in for a drink anyway. The bartender told us it'd be a good idea to hang out for a while that night.dh girlie said:Sweet...so you just happened upon the Ramones! What an awesome thing to happen upon!
When I saw Joey walk in the front door I about had a heart attack!
Saw a few really big bands that way when I lived there, and got to see The Ramones one other time. The second time I think it was Dee Dee's B-day or something.

Awesome...I saw em two nights in a row at One Step Beyond...remember that place!
Saw them live in NYC. Very cool. But the best show I saw them do was in a Bull Fighting arena in Sevilla Spain. 25,000 screaming, drunk on Sangria, high on hashish Spainards. Had to truly be one of the greatest rock and roll moments in my life. Great, great show. Just blew me away. I'll never forget that ****. The crowd was singing louder then the band. Just amazing.......jdcambDamn True said:

Ya know something just occured to me. Joey, Dee Dee, and Jonny are dead. But somehow nothing has changed.
They are still looking for a drummer.

Same setlist but no it is not. It may have been a warm up date for the Loco Live show. They did have TV cameras there. And it was huge concert. It was sureal is all I can say......jdcambMikeD said:
