The band that started a revolution, and hey, there guitarist is probably the only rock guitarist who cannot ever be accused of ripping black music becuase he merged his influences to his own unique style of playing.
The Ramones are a great band.

One of the first and best punk bands of all time. Origionally consisting of 4 members named Joey(Vocals), Johnny(Guitarist), Ritchie(Bassist), and Tommy(Drummer). Ritchie got kicked out because he sucked at bass and couldn't pick up, and was replaced with Dee Dee.Tommy soon left the band to become the manager/producer and Marky took his place. Them Marky got kicked out for being to much of a drunk, then Richie took his place. Richie left the band and Marky Returned. Soon after, Dee Dee left the band to take a life in rap under the name Dee Dee King, and was replaced with C.J. All of the Ramones took the last name of Ramone. Johnny, Joey, and Dee Dee are all now dead.
NOTE:RITCHIE RAMONE AND RICHIE RAMONE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE!!!

An honest definition
Common Misconception 1: They didnt start punk.
The First punk band, despite what some FOOLS say. Yes, folks, I am talking about certain people who think that punk started in the UK with artists who came after (but are still awesome) like the Sex Pistols or The Clash. True, some genres began to form punk like glitter rock, and artists that came just before them like Iggy and the Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls influenced them, but it's not like that was pure punk; it was developing punk, pre-punk if you like. The Ramones all liked the New York Dolls, and Joey Ramone was in a glitter rock band called Snyper before the Ramones even formed.
Common Misconception 2: They only knew 3 chords.
True, their songs were sometimes 3 chords, but not always. This doesn't mean they only 'knew' 3 chords; they were trying to strip rock back to its basics was the reason they formed. No, Johnny wasn't a bad player; check out his guitar technique! Totally revolutionary. But anyway, even if they did 'only know 3 chords', WHAT DOES THAT MATTER? The music is still good, the lyrics arent bad. It's not like they were D-U-M-B or something.
I am sick of everyone criticizing these legends! They were truly a great band with some awesome riffs and hooks. And I don't care that Dee Dee, Joey and Johnny are dead, I'm defending their music! So FUCK OFF haters!

Ramon is obviously the coolest person you’ll ever meet but also kind to others. Ramon likes to get a good kick out of things and will always try to cheer people up. He is also a very good lover ;) and loves short walked on the beach. But overall he’s mean at kapa haka and awesome with all weapons. If you meet a Ramon definitely hug him.
