He came into the Ramones LATER on after Tommy Ramone said he didnt wanna tour, only produce. He did tour with them extensively and learned and maintained Tommy Ramones playing style. He was kicked out of the Ramones due to missing gigs because of alcohol but was let back in after. He is an important part of the Ramones and punk rock history.
Marky was the best drummer and in the band more than any other drummer. He has very fast hands most pro drummers cant keep a hihat pattern as fast as he can .
Marky's the real thing. Watch their live shows from Road to Ruin to Pleasant Dreams. 1978 to 1982 they were on fire thanks to Marky and the guys, mostly Marky being the monster on drums to keep up that hard thing going on there.
Not really. Joey was the first drummer, he was better as a singer, or so tommy thought, so joey took the singing role, tommy did the drums temporarily until they could find a drummer, who came to be marky. SO he is an original ramone
your a jerkwad, wtf has Sting or the Police got to do with this ? Two completely different kinds of music you fkn moron. Do you think they slag of the Ramones ? I doubt it. Police were a fkn good band as were the Ramones. Pull it out your butt and put it back in your dads handbag, you know diddley squat and you've exposed your IQ to most.
3 or 4 days a week I put on my Ramones tracks and play along to a dozen songs. It's amazing how many young people hear me and want to talk and listen to the Ramones. Ramones tunes never go out of style.
I witnessed Joey's OCD once at The Ritz where he repeatedly touched a banister before he would go down the stairs to use the bathroom. I thought he was just too drunk.
Something people today are simply not capable of. When he talks about having completely different political beliefs than Johnny. They couldn't stand each other's beliefs, but yet they both were able to respect each other's differences and get over it. If only most people could do this life for everyone would improve without a doubt.
Typical job environment. You dont have to like your coworker or agree with them, but you do have to treat them with respect and get along for the sake of the job
Marky is a great dude, met him almost 20 years ago, hung out maybe a half hour to an hour. Awesome experience, he encourage me and the other guitarist in our band to follow our dreams of playing punk music and told some great stories.
I remember in 1981 Rock,n,Roll High School was on TV . what a time of harmless rebellion it was , now I am in my f!@#$%^& fifties . I miss those days , where the f!@# have they gone ! What a crazy life ! As I got to my middle ages , I see more and more of my fave band members passing away , my parents are gone , Lemmy from Motorhead a fellow Capricorn passed away on my birthday 28th Dec . Three Ramones members passed away years before . Like what the ? Other musicians I grew up with listening , my friends and my parents passing away . I wanna go back in the seventies , my mom went to her boyfriends place for the weekend and I would raid the liquor cabinet , steal a couple of smokes and blast music , I hated school , especially Mondays , haha ! Graffiti in the bathroom stalls , Don,t waste toilet paper , waste Khomeini , Kilroy was here , FTW and the like . Smokin in the boys room , breaking school rules , sick home from school and still got a shitload of homework delivered to me via student from my area , could not escape it ! Still ! I wanna go back !!! Arrrgh !
I did lights for him once at CBGBs (and Joey Ramone separately too). It's a shame that era of NYC is so long gone now. RIP LES * RIP East Village * RIP Punk Rock
Alright..to everybody saying C.J. and Richie are still around, that is true. But the interviewer at the beginning said 'last surviving Ramone inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame..
Thank you marky ramone for the joy of Ramones.I started a 3 man ramones tribute band called davey ramone and the atomic punks.I play johnny n joey of sorts.We hail from Rockford Il.
Richie and CJ were just additional players. They didn't record any song with The Ramones. In fact they played covers of Ramones' songs is actually a violent of copyrights
ralphsrec Richie and CJ were just additional players. They didn't record any song with The Ramones. In fact they played covers of Ramones' songs is actually a violent of copyrights
yeah, and recorded plenty, Richie..how bout: too tough to die, halfway to sanity, animal boy..and credited with writing 6 songs from those releases? CJ...mondo bizzaro, acid eaters, adios amigos etc?
In hi book, he DOES discuss an encounter with Sting,when the Ramones opened for them in Atlanta. This is the gig where Sting was rude to Marky...and Johnny as well
Marc says he never got into intravenous drugs, but what about cocaine? Marc says he's the only link to the original members? Marc reports Joey's problems with OCD, but Joey kinda wanted to keep it private.
Markie I love you the DIYs we opened for you in Hollywood and you came up to listen to my songs I was so honored you came out of the backstage and started bopping around and then when my songs were done playing you went back down that pissed off our drummer though God Rest his soul he he died of cancer to Dave Drive he's a super big fan of your guys when he loved you so much God bless you I love you you're the best
Lee S hahaha it was a Hired Hand give me a fucking break the Ramones were basically done when he joined the band no iconic songs were written with him please
"Hired hand"? He was in the band for 7 years. Ramones were given a new lease of life when CJ joined. Johnny said that CJ was "more important than Marky because he was a frontman".
ThreeShitsToTheWind. he was a Hired Hand he was paid like $500 a week and barely any shirt money if any he's way younger than the Ramones and did not write or was with the Ramones when they wrote their Kick-Ass shit I'm 50 I was there during the best Punk and metal and hardcore you get one point for having a Dickies video up but it's all their lamest record I am you're punk rock Elder
CJ kept the band going for another 7 years. He not only played bass, but he also wrote songs and sang as well. He should have been included in the HOF. Marky has some animosity because CJ's first wife was Marky's niece, whom CJ divorced.
@@Bb-yg3rq - CJ did a lot for the band. They sold more albums and made more money during the 7 years that CJ was in the band than any other period in their 22 year history. Dee Dee continued writing for them after he left the band..so he was still kind of there. Go back and listen to the CJ albums. He sang some of the best songs on all of the albums he appeared on. In fact, if it wasn't for him, the band probably would have retired a couple of years earlier than they did. He lightened the load on an already diagnosed and sick Joey by singing 4, 5, 6 songs every show.
Seamark he's acting like he was there when the Ramones was conceptualized and in the early days of cbgb's and he was not. Tommy Ramone was the one that was there not Marquis. And Mark he's talking like he was there and it was partially his idea to have 2 minute songs because they were tired of the format that the 70s radio stations were putting out. No it was Dee Dee, Joey, Tommy, and Johnny. Richard Hell & the voidoids we're not at cbgb's in the early days. They weren't playing until the 80s
I like it when Jhonny rotten put this dude in his place lol!Alex Harvey was hr grandfather of punk they called him glam but far from it!I only liked a few Ramones pieces!Some of it was good!Pistols better even though one album!No sting remarks at all !
I have one slight nitpick. Tommy Ramone was the original drummer and producer and only stopped performing because Johnny Ramone was a nasty piece of work. Nothing against Marky but he joined the band on their 4th album after Beat the brat, Judy is a punk and of course Blitzkrieg Bop. While he was around the scene he not in the band as they exploded the first time around. Like I said nitpick that the interview was twisting what actually happened
@@atphotos Marky wrote one of my favorite Ramones songs "Anxiety". He also wrote songs like "The Job That Ate My Brain" and "Have A Nice Day" which are great songs!
It is not Mark's "responsibility" to keep the Ramones alive. It was Tommy's sound. Somehow he glossed over him getting kicked out. Mark is a great drummer, my only issue is no is there to refute anything he says.
CJ wasn't a member that was inducted in the hall of fame. Richie wasn't either and is still touring. CJ, Richie and Marky were not original members of the band. R.I.P. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy.
CJ should have been inducted and is one of the surviving Ramones period. Metallica's bass player was only in that band one year before he was inducted with that band and it is yet another reason why I think the so called Rock Hall of Fame is a joke.
Thanks for the various warnings from commenters that there is no mention of Sting in this and that the title is click-bait; It's saved me from watching more than a minute and a half and I'm giving the vid a THUMBS DOWN!
Marky is cool. He’s the only classic surviving member ( I don’t mean original. There are other Ramones roaming around like Richie, CJ and Elvis. So this interviewer needs to do his research.
