The Ramones' Marky Ramone on his life as a rock icon, live at the JCCSF 

One of the best drummmers, honestly.

Him an joey fought constantly yet never threw him under the bus in this interview,,,,respect

His wig isn’t very truthful

@@shamupeterson2874 we all no your in your 40s and live at home with your parents

@@shamupeterson2874 something a karen would say...lol

He's an inflated twat and only morons like you cherish him.

@@ThunderAppeal no way Marky more than paid his dues and he kicks ass

@@ThunderAppeal wtf have you done, try duplicating his drumming. He will live on after his death, you will be unknown. What a miserable lump you are.

As a Southerner, I'm fascinated by Marky's New York accent and demeanor. He seems to be a very smart and laid back guy who would be a great friend to have. RIP Joey, Johnny, Tommy and Dee Dee.

+LessThanSims They did fucking amazing things with CJ, I don't know why they put him down.

@@IggyMontpellierPro nothing against CJ, he's a real RAMONE, but by that time, they were playing the songs way too fast, losing some of their sheer power. gotta let those power chords breathe a bit. which exists on the early records. they were already fast enough.

LessThanSims I love these guys but I don't consider Marky to be an "icon". He played as he was taught to. Richie was a better drummer and contributed in writing lyrics, music and would sing, which Joey encouraged him to. CJ did his best with what he was dealt, knowing the band was on its last leg.

@@swinglow33 I agree about rich's drumming...there's something about his style; mark was on the great end/century & pleasant dreams, tom on the pinnacle rocket/russia & rich on their last 'important' l.p- too tough to die but the ramones notable years were 77-82.

Tony M Very well said bro! I agree 👍

Had they been able to reunite in the 2000’s after a break they would have been Huge !! The biggest boost and success of their careers Guaranteed ... Tragic

Hamsters Rule.

Johnny Rules!!!!!

Just give the man his pizza

You’d also be filthy rich if you played drums as good as Marky and paid your dues in an iconic band

@@kungpao-wp2sq - Thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious.

Me too

That is still going on today as well😁

Richie got the shaft though. Bands gotta pay their guys, even if they’re not original.

Clem Broke (Elvis Ramone) was only a temp Drummer so he wasn't that's his story (SHORT!)

dee dee was the essential songwriter

Yes Dee Dee was the main songwriter and Joey only sang the songs Dee Dee wrote but Joey Wrote one song for some of the albums Johnny played guitar on the songs I know you're gonna Say no dugh so you don't have to say it because I already said it for you, You can thank me Instead

Barbara Jenkins Dee Dee was the ramones

Johnny was equally important to Joey. His attitude/personality, look, and above all else, sound. Take the Joey Ramone solo album... two if you include "Ya Know" as a proper album. I love them, but, are they the same as a Ramones album? No way. By contrast, take a song like "wart hog". There's no Joey on it, but it's Ramones AF. Or Durango 95- that's all Johnny, and it's all Ramones. That said, people under rate Joey as a song writer when they say "Dee Dee wrote most of the songs". Joey wrote the first 2 Ramones songs- "I don't care" and "here today, gone tomorrow". Joey wrote such classics as "Beat on the Brat", "Sheena..", "..Sedated", "...Rock N' Roll Radio", and "KKK...". Meanwhile Tommy wrote "Blitzkrieg". It was hardly all Dee Dee. Bottom line: all the Ramones were important to what made the band sublimely awesome.

Since dee dee, Joey and Johnny died

@@clydekimsey7503 Don't Forget Tommy.

@@leroywatermelon4025 he's dead too

If only they both got along now, would be cool to see them play in a band together doing classic Ramone songs. I feel lucky to have met them both. Saw CJ play about 5 months ago & he kicks ass still!

Give the guy a break he’s a freakin rock icon

we was many more years a drummer of the ramones than tommy. So yeah he is pretty original

Dude he was in the ramones for 15 years he’s an icon and a real Ramone

Lol he joined in 78, what u mean?

That made no sense then and it doesn't now

How early?
