Imagine cutting your lead singer just for him to go on to be one of the most historical punk rock singers

My dad’s friend always comes to my music preformances, once it was a tribute to the clash vs the ramones. My dad’s friend is named Bruce. He told stories how he grew up being great friends with Joey Ramone, Bruce was around 13. The stories he told me about how kind Joey really was really touched me, and I think everyone should know how sweet and shy he really was.

On their last album, the last song is a cover of the old Spider-Man theme song. This is not only fitting because The Ramones were huge comic book nerds but also because The Ramones and Peter Parker are from the same neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens.

Joey is one of my great heroes.

Here's a feller who was saddled with so many hardships & misfortunes, yet he took all the drawbacks he lived with & made them work FOR him. Every disadvantage he ever faced fed into his brilliant Joey Ramone persona.

I wish they was still around playin shows, because say what ya want about their later LPs, as a live act, they was a rock n' roll locomotive right to the end-- I saw em from 1990 thru 1993, & count the '91 show as amongst the greatest rock n' roll shows I've ever been blessed to attend. R.I.P. Jeffrey Hyman AKA Joey Ramone. 🦃😥🙏🦃😥🙏🦃

My idols. I look up to Joey so much because he had so many struggles and over came them to become a legend. I once had a dream where I was their producer for their first album, before they hit it big, and they told me I was going with them when they got their contract. We were living in a old Victorian house in New York and had nothing in the house but music equipment, beds, clothes and lots of pot. I got to spend an entire 12 hour dream talking to Joey about music and watched DeeDee and Johnny mess with our neighbors because they were bitching about the noise and weed smell, hehe! I can't remember which drummer was there, but he was on the porch laughing his ass off. It might have been Markey, I'm not sure though. In my dream, Joey told me I would make it in music, but I had to do it my way and to not give up. I will cherish it always as him answering me when I was torn between going on with music or giving up. I like to think if we had ever met in life, we might have been friends and confidants because I have mental health problems, have immense stage fright, and am a punk performer as well. Maybe he knew I needed the boost and came back to help a fan. Idk, that's what I like to think and it did help me immensely with my decision to keep going with music. Thank you Joey and to the other members for lighting that punk fire under my ass and giving me the boost to keep going. RIP🤘🖤❤😈🍭🦄🌈⚘🌹🌷🖕

It's not that Dee Dee couldn't handle singing, he just couldn't play his instrument while also being lead singer. Nothing wrong with that

[cawa]

My brother and I saw them in Georgetown, D.C. bar back in the day. They almost kicked us out for mashing so hard. One of the greatest experiences and memories ❤️ 😊
