Did your ever see his younger picture!? He was fucking lovable!(no gay) I mean, i love to have him as pet in a big, man-sized cage, you know. but only that young DD, not 20+dd

@Ciaran Moran213 you need proof? wanna test with your daughter if you have one, or sister huh? What?, do you usually around on the internet and excuse stranger like that huh? Shame you need to judge random strangers you will never know in life or have never known And as for your so call "proof of gay", there's no solid/logical (or psychologically hinted/sign or behavioral science proven) envident of me being gay anywhere in my previous comment. You know we human beings as the most intelligent species on the planet interact events differently each with their is style right? You should also noted that I'm not a native speaker (this is on public YT comment section afterall) Indeed I quoted *no gay* in my comment just becuz cunts like you who love judging strangers online lmao But you peoples could anyway find loopholes in strangers and bash on them. It's really shame

[@qramone9909]

that's because he was high on heroin. whenever he wasn't, he was super upbeat and super hyper.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

My dad grew up next door to Joey's aunt and uncle and he knew all the guys really well. I can promise you all that there is NOTHING scripted. Especially Joey. He hated to see people down and sad. The thing is though, he did random stuff to make you laugh. God I miss those guys.

In the mid '80's to early '90's a use to see Joey Ramone practically every weekend at baseball card and sports collectible shows in New York. I only really spoke to him once in an extended way, but he was really cool to me always.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

pajasa62 sure it wasn't Johnny...he was the collector

There's a dude in the movie 'Summer School' from 1987 that wears that shirt too.

I noticed that too, though it was a motörhead shirt at first, but there's a picture of a skull. The text font is even similar. Maybe motörhead stole the idea.

Eve Nam Johnny and Joey hated each other for a long time towards the end of their careers. When Joey was in the hospital before he died, Johnny didn't go visit him, even when Marky told him the window was closing. Johnny told Marky "he's not my friend" and never went.

"They were sooo fucking great. There will never be another era or band like the Ramones again and it is so fucking sad."

Its weird but when they were still together as a band, it seemed like they would always be around. I still cant get over the fact that the original lineup has passed away. I'm sure glad Marky, CJ, and Richie are still with us.

[@SpiritusMundi4EVER]

I feel the exact same way. Thought they would outlive freaking roaches and play forever. Such a tragic shock when Joey died and then Dee Dee, Johnny and more recently, Tommy. When they died, a part of rock n' roll died. No band will ever touch these guys.
