The four founding members of the band were Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone, and Tommy Ramone. These were four friends with unique personalities who all happened to meet each other at Forest Hills High Schools in New York.
Sadly, we now have to live with the Ramones members’ deaths - all who died rather early and from tragic circumstances. But in addition to learning about the Ramones members’ deaths, we must understand their early lives and their incredible achievements.
Joey Ramone grew up loving rock music as a young man - especially The Beatles and The Stooges. He was influenced by these British and American bands and dreamt of one day becoming a rock star himself. He was a drummer and vocalist.
Johnny Ramone struggled at first to make it as a musician, having to focus on his day job as a plumber until he made it with The Ramones. However, today he is remembered as the band’s vocalist and one of the greatest rock performers of all time.
Dee Dee Ramone had a troubled childhood growing up in Germany. After his parents separated, he moved with his mother and siblings to Forest Hills, New York. When he met his friends in school, his life took a turn for the better. He’s still remembered as one of the most influential punk rock artists of all time - overshadowing his personal struggles.
Tommy Ramone exemplifies the American Dream. He and his parents were immigrants from Hungary. Little did he know that he’d grow up to become an icon of American culture. He was a talented artist and entrepreneur.

Tommy got the band started. With idea of managing only. Johnny turned down the idea for years because he had a job already. First delivery for dry cleaning company and then construction work. Joey was already in a band. Dee Dee was all in ready to go first. Johnny agreed to join and start the band after losing the construction job due to Affirmative Action policy.

[@robinpigeon2070]

[@mikeneudorf4678]

Saw them with CJ Ramone on bass in 92. I was so happy to see them live. I love the Ramones and it’s hard to pick one favourite song. Hard enough to pick one favourite off every album. I’m 53 and I’m still watching Rock ‘n’ roll high school.

[@Cosmotype]

Tommy was a legit studio engineer and had connections in the NY studio scene, probably why the Ramones were able to cut demos (Dick Charles Studios in February 1975, and 914 Studios in September 1975).

Johnny Ramone did not receive much acclaim for his guitar performing. He received acclaim despite his rudimentary skills on the guitar.

[@jancalipo490]

First Joey was doing really well with his treatment but he fell on the ice outside his NY apartment and broke his hip. Had to stop his treatments to have surgery. Being weak he couldn’t heal right and his cancer came back harder. Also he many health problems including metal health with OCD and some said schizophrenia at 14

[@lettoreentusiasta9374]

He also was born with a teratoma which saw him need surgery just after being born, which contributed to his tendency to infections and poor blood circulation. As a child, his eyesight was poor due to acute myopia. His ill-tempered father once picked him up and threw him over a bed and into the wall. He was severely bullied throughout school, sometimes coming home with footprints on his chest. He suffered from severe OCD, which was a constant torment for him. While in his late teens, he checked himself into a psychiatric facility for evaluation. One of his doctors told Joey’s mother that Joey would never function in society, would need care his entire life, and that he’d likely end up a vegetable. It was suggested by a doctor that Joey was a paranoid schizophrenic. As an adult, his OCD was near-debilitating. He suffered from frequent infections, especially in his foot. His mental health was always precarious.

They were truly a band with great pop sensibilities. Their music was like Ronnie Spector with distorted guitars. My favorite song has to be "Daytime Dilemma." It really shows their great songwriting abilities.

I proceeded to the bar and asked the girl for a Budweiser and she also didn't card me! About a half an hour later the lights dimmed, the dry ice plumes flowed and Joey thanked the Big Easy for hosting them and then came Dee Dee's trademark 1,2,3,4!

Commando, Warthog, We're a Happy Family, just to name a few. I was lucky to see them several times in the 80's. Johnny always said that they weren't the best band in the world but they were the most copied. These guys changed the world. I miss them.

[@punkrockcentral1812]

no he definitely said many times he thought they were the best.. he always said the reason they kept going was because they felt they were the best at there jobs and the day they thought someone was better was the end..

[@pamelamalfettano6249]

i wanna be sedated- to this day (now in my 60's) still cant help but start dancing when I hear it

[@anthonyleighton4754]

Wow this is cheerful...... celebrate their music and life......

[@patrickryan5570]

I seen the Ramones and the Damned do a double header at Brixton Academy in 1991 - I was really there to see the Damned however the Ramones were really good - all in all a very memorable night - I liked Sheena is a Punk Rocker and Judy is a Punk... All songs started with 1- 2 - 3 - 4

I’ve heard of the Ramone’s and their music, but had no idea they died so young, almost one year after each other in succession.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

without question one of the most passionate and original (if not very commercially successful) bands in music history.

R. I. P. JOEY RAMONE 15/4/2001 Never forgotten

[@catsclaw6648]

Best live show I ever seen 1986 Animal Boy tour Club Casino Hampton Beach New Hampshire. No other band comes close. Ramones Rock!!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@garyskadra5236]

"Beat On The Brat" would be up there for me

[@ricardoacosta5938]

I actually met Dee Dee Ramone at his book 📖 signing back in California on April 4th 2002 .He signed a Rock guitar magazine &I was even enough to take a selfie (photo)with him just two months before he found dead I believe from his girlfriend in Hollywood.Its sad&glad he's already in the hall of Fame with his other deceased members of the Ramones "'Punk Rockers for life&long live the Ramones!🤔😢😥😩🤓😎🤑🤠😷🎲📸🎚️🎧🎤🥁🎸🎞️🎥📼📺📻🎙️🎛️🎬🎫💰🕯️🧢👟👠👓💊💉🧬🌡️🚬🪦⚰️💣🏆👏🤟👍🤛✌️🙏🇨🇱🇺🇸

Interesting, thank you for sharing your life story. May Dee Dee and the others who passed away find peace 🙏

[@hudentdw2]

Basically, all the Ramones songs are bitching great! Ramones Forever!

[@everlastinggobstopper4569]

I got to know Tommy in the NYC bluegrass scene. He had fallen in love with the mandolin. He and his wife came to my shows at the Parkside and they opened for us a few times. He was a really nice man!

[@FactsVerse]

Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing this information about Tommy! We're very happy to learn that he is a nice man. Which Ramones song appealed to you the most?

[@BENNY55]

If you ask me “what is the most unique band ever” I would say The Ramones since they had a sound that not a lot of people had at the time, a great stage presence, and overall made people like punk a lot. Their music is one of the reasons why I enjoy playing my guitar a lot

Early April 2001 I was flying to Germany from the US. My sister gave me a cd called Romones Mania to listen to. I had never heard of them. Put the cd in my Sony disc man at the airport. WTF! Didn't like it. Tried a 2nd and a 3rd listen. Finally wow this is great!! Then 2 weeks later heard Joey had just passed away. I couldn't believe it. After that I got every album I could find on cd and those first 4 albums when I found them reissued years later on vinyl including of course Ramones Mania!! My favorite would be I Wanna Be Sedated. I Wanna Live. We Want the Airwaves. But there are just sooooo many choices. Plus they did alot of great covers like Needles and Pins, California Sun, and Surfer Bird to name a few. My favorite solo song by Joey is Don't Worry About Me. Sad these guys didn't get the radio play they deserved back then. There catalog speaks for itself!! Gabba Gabba Hey!! 🎸🎸🎸

I was blessed to see the Ramones in Ocean City Md a couple times. First time in a little club out on like 130th st. Maybe 200 people there. My best friend and I were front row. He made a dumb mistake and tried to grab Johnny's guitar. Got kicked for his trouble by Johnny, but not too hard as I'm sure he knew he was a fan. A couple years before Tommy died I saw him perform with Uncle Monk in Charlottesville. Lucky enough to have an opportunity to talk to him for maybe five minutes. Told him Teenage Lobotomy was my favorite song and he kind of lit up a bit and said he wrote most of it.Uncle Monk album is excellent. He told me punk and old country have many similarities.

[@michaelsix9684]

raw, rough, full of energy, and they are missed

[@FactsVerse]

Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What is your favorite Ramones song?

[@Journey-of-1000-Miles]

I remember seeing their first album cover when I was only approximately four years old, in the early 70s. I, of course, assumed that they were all related! Rest in peace, boys!

[@4forMeGlennCoCo]

was only made into a demo but "Stares in this Town" is my fave track

[@d-2793]

‘Here today, gone tomorrow’. love Joey!!!

[@SteeleyGTi]

I love Danny Says, mind you I love all their songs!

[@sirkazm]

Legendary band! Many of their tunes are favorites but if I had to choose MY personal favorite it is COMMANDO

[@FactsVerse]

Thank you for sharing your favorite Ramones song! Which comes in at second place?

[@goldenagenut]

Saw them live twice, got my copy of " Too Tough To Die" signed by Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee the first time, worked a horror con years later, Marky was 4 tables down, talked briefly, nice guy, got the record signed, no Tommy or CJ though, still, it's a treasured piece of vinyl.

[@kevingiven3463]

My favorite Ramones song: "I Wanna be Sedated."
