10 years later RIP Joey Ramone
 

Still bummed over the loss of one of the most influential, cerebral and unassuming people in punk rock.

RIP - He's probably in a better place.

In 1987, I went out with my ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend, Richie Stotts (Wendy O Williams & The Plasmatics). Joey was along for the ride and was pretty "altered" as was my idiot friend who went crazy and snatched Richie's hat off his head. Almost instantly I felt something cold and sharp on my throat and everybody started screaming at Joey because he was holding a switchblade to my throat.

Ritchie Stotts is the 7 foot guy

thats some crazy shit!

also amazing to think that Sid Vicious died in 1979...32 years ago...some posters here on GFY weren't even born yet;)

After seeing "Rock'n Roll Highschool" i bought my first Ramones Album (Road to Ruin) - it was my 2nd or 3rd album i owned at that time and i bought it used cause i couldn't afford a new one. i still have it.

i fixed that for you... ;)

Im glad to have caught the Ramones in concert. Was one of the better shows that I have been to. RIP Joey

Really? You think most people who post here are under 32? Not disagreeing with you, i just assumed most were between 30 and 50, and well into their 30's at that.

Of course if you are referring to the way they act I would have to drop that number to under 15;)

Yeah I saw them in the 90s... fan since the early 80s when I was in Jr. High. Would have killed to see them at CBGB when it existed...

Seen them, met them, listen to them daily !!

Rest in Peace! :(
