I was working at the front desk at The Chateau Marmont in 2000 and they were having a private party for Sofia Coppola releasing a new wine. Tons of celebs in the lobby as usual there. Very surreal moment when Nic Cage, Marilyn Manson, and Johnny walked in together. He was a fish out of water. He sat in a chair 10 feet away from me by the magazine rack by himself. We talked a bit. So fucking sweet. Very humble and kind. I hated working there because of all of the ridiculous egos. He was such a gem. Love the dude. Rest in peace.

Totally. To steal a term from those disgusting rappers, Johnny Ramone was 'the realest' rock legend to ever live. He was as real and authentic as they get. Knew what he believed in and stood by it. Dude was a real 'working musician'. The guy, along with this bandmates', took a childhood dream and made it happen. I have nothing but respect for the man. On top of that, the most important thing he did was inspire countless of young people to pick up a guitar. He proved that you don't have to be a virtuoso to be a great player or write good songs. Build your skills, but don't forget to serve the song. Respect.

well he must have gotten tough after he attained fame. I knew John in addition to the rest of the Ramones prior to them becoming the Ramones. We were just a bunch of friends from Queens NY who all had the same love for British Rock ... 60's and 70's. One summer night We ( John, Tommy, Dee and Jeff Salen - Tuff Darts) drove out to Long Island to a club called Zero's in Glen Cove. Jeff and I had gone out there a few times because of the "Long Island Girls". Anyway, there was always a long line to get in but the club never pulled the bullshit that the NYC clubs did by picking and choosing who they would let in on a particular night. Anyway .. there were a bunch of typical "Long Island" guys who were getting a little loud and raucous and John said "hey those guys look like trouble and I don't want to get my ass beaten ... Dee and Tommy nodded in agreement but Jeff and I called them pussies .. Since it was John's car that we went in, we didn't have much of a choice but to leave ... real tough guys the Ramones were back then ... but still loved them none the less. They're all gone now ( including Jeff).

Loved when he was asked if the younger punk bands that came out way after their time, getting more recognized and more successful than the Ramones, if that pissed off Johnny, Johnny's response was "I'm happy to see rock n roll still alive" What a class act man. He's a true musician at heart through and through, never about the money or fame.

Johnny was no nonsense, all business and perhaps that’s why the band never fell apart. Like Iggy said, “We got no V for victory, cuz we know things are tougher.” Johnny knew.

It definitely is. Of all of the musicians we have lost over the years, he is the one that I miss the most. It is heartbreaking that he didn't get to live to see what kind of legacy he and the band left and how truly love they are. Even worst is that he worked his ass off for so many years, saving his money to buy his dream home, retired...and then died shortly after. It is heartbreaking. Dude was the man. Coolest dude to ever live, imo. He stood by what he believed in and made no apologies. Everyone could learn about how to be a man from Johnny Ramone.

It was excellent in such desperate times and places -- really what art and rock 'n' roll are all about. xo

First, let’s be clear: no single member of the band WAS the band. This is evidenced by the fact that none of their individual endeavors surpassed the success or recognition of the Ramones. Second, I am amused by the left vs right comment war. It’s ironic cause I view art as being un-political. Last, this was a pretty interesting piece of material. It’s a rare glimpse into the mind of someone totally unique who took an unlikely situation and made it work, and I’m ever thankful that KZbin allows for little moments like this to be shared and enjoyed.

ohfoolishworkerbee Ah, well, he wouldn't be very sad if at all, they were considered friends but, Johnny had a strong dislike of Joey. He teased him, bullied him, beat him up, so talking about his death would only really semi-sound sad. Not to mention that he was sick during this time and I'm quite sure that he's more concerned about doing things before his inevitable death and settling the dust between things. A death in business sucks quite frankly, and ya know, dealing with an estate is no easy task.

The first and one of the most important bands I ever saw. 14 years after his death and I'm still learning from the Ramones. Guitar, musical attitudes... I'm no Republican or right wing leaning person but I agree with him that it's not right that 99% of the entertainment industry leans towards the left. I can relate to them politically and it's good to have representatives speak up for things actual politicians won't but there needs to be more of a balance. Why? Because people like Trump happen when it becomes an overly sensitive, secular, insular and elite portion of society who think that simply appearing beside a presidential candidate is enough to secure the vote. There's no balance and it has ramifications for the public who also think that their favorite singer or actor can influence the vote and become violently disappointed when they realize this is not always the case.
