Get the joey ramone mug.Guitarist for the Ramones, from their formation in 1974 to their demise in 1996. Though not the inventor of the downstroke 8th note technique, he was well-known for using this aggresive picking style that created a wall of sound. Also known for playing almost strictly Mosrite ventures II slab-body guitars, more notably his white Ventures II, and using strictly Marshall JMP100 Super Lead amps, until the amps were stolen and the band bought JCM800's in the early 80's. A conservative republican, he is known as citing president Ronald Reagan as the greatest president of his time, and at the Ramones inauguration into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he said "God bless President Bush, and God bless America" at the end of his speech. Johnny had a very strict, no-bullshit approach to guitar playing and stage presence, which infuenced the Ramones' militaristic live approach. Johnny's guitar-style influenced many guitarists after him, including James Hetfield of Metallica. Great guitarist, and a great man who died tragically from prostate cancer at the age of 55, in 2004. RIP Johnny.
"My father would get on these tangents about how he never missed a day's work. I broke my big toe the day I had to go pitch a Little League game and he's going, 'What are you - a baby? What did I do, raise a baby? You go play.' -Johnny Ramone
"People drift towards liberalism at a young age, and I always hope they change when they see how the world really is." -Johnny Ramone
Go Johnny, go go go!

Get the Richard Ramirez mug.The act of a man grinding his penis back and forth on a woman's pelvis, stomach or buttcrack. This is a method of gratification used when penetration is not allowed for any number of reasons.
I'm so tired of the French Ravine! I've got to find someone more appropriately . . . I don't know, kinda dirty or something.

Get the French Ravine mug.People named Raine normally don’t think much of themselves, but to other they are perfect. They are so selfless and so empathetic. They put others before themselves in all situations, even when they shouldn’t. They have ocean eyes that sparkle when they talk about things they’re passionate about. They are the most unique type of beauty that seems to always take your breath away. They seem to often lack confidence even if it should be radiating off of them. They share their love and happiness to everyone they encounter. They have a tendancy to go for people not worthy of them. They go for people who need to be fixed, which often leads them to heartbreak. But eventually they find the perfect person for them and they never let go. If you meet someone like Raine you should never let go.

Get the Ramonecore mug.Jeffrey Hyman (May 19, 1951 – April 15, 2001), better known as Joey Ramone, was the vocalist for the legendary punk rock group The Ramones. He and fellow band-mate Johnny Ramone were the only two members who stayed with the band until their retirement in 1996.
Joey RamoneJoey grew up in Forest Hills, Queens. His mother, Charlotte, encouraged an interest in music in both Joey and his brother Mitchell Hyman a/k/a Mickey Leigh. Joey was a fan of The Who, among other bands (particularly "oldies"). He took up drums at 13, playing throughout his teen years, and was originally the drummer for the Ramones. Upon Tommy Ramone's suggestion that some particular parts of the band didn't work, he became the vocalist. Joey and his bandmates attended Forest Hills High School.
He was said to be the "heart and soul" of The Ramones, and his favorite songs they had performed were often the ballads and love songs. C.J. Ramone called Joey the "hippie of the group".
After the heyday of the Ramones in the mid-70s, they remained only an underground act throughout the 80s and 90s.
Joey was distinctive due to his towering height of 6 feet 6 inches, unbelievable skinniness, and long shock of black hair that almost completely obscured his face. Joey was known to have suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Joey was born sterile, so he never fathered any children. He also never married.
Joey did not speak to guitarist Johnny Ramone for many years. The two fell out when Johnny "stole" Joey's girlfriend Linda, whom Johnny later married. They were also strongly averse to each other's politics as well, Joey being a left-leaning liberal while Johnny was a staunch conservative. The pair never made up with each other.
Joey died of lymphoma on April 15, 2001. He apparently had had the disease for a long time; he was sighted at a New York City cancer clinic that specializes in lymphoma in the mid 1990s.
Joey was the first mainstream-acknowledged punk star to die whose death was not due to a drug overdose or suicide, though his addiction issues were much publicised in various books on the Ramones. His passing was a sad shock to many, and seemed to signal the end of a generation. Countless memorials, both by fans and the rockers he influenced, followed.
His solo album Don't Worry About Me was released in 2002 and features the single "What a Wonderful World", his cover of the Louis Armstrong classic. In addition, this album featured a song entitled "Maria Bartiromo" in tribute to the popular CNBC anchor.
On November 30, 2003, Joey Ramone Place was officially named a new street in New York City. It is located alongside the block where The Ramones got their start at CBGB. His birthday is annually celebrated by rock and roll nightclubs, hosted in New York City by his mother and brother.
