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!

Get the The Ramones mug.The most manliest man ever to exist came before adam and eve. He was the first to have godly sex. He is much better than Evan. When the gods chose to bestow ramone onto the earth, the romans trembled and ramone lived on and passed his name on to others. Ramone can also be called dark chocolate or blackness. When a ramone is spotted much like in the wild ramones should be taken pictures. Ramones are talented in the field of music and literature. Ramones are best as pisces and are invincible cause they are black. Like blackness . You can refer to the word EVAN and mulitiply it by x10 to get a ramone
"I wish I was as awsome as ramone"
"Dam bitch. Respect the ramone"
Verb

"Dam bitch. Respect the ramone"

Get the ramon mug.The foundation of punk music. When the Ramones first came to Britain, they inspired the Sex Pistols and therefore created a base for punk music to develop. The Ramones are the best punk band that ever lived and always will be, regardless of all these shitty bands that come onto the scene and claim to be punk, like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte, both of which are nowhere near as talented songwriters/musicians as the Ramones. the Ramones released many rock classics including Blitzkreig Bop, I Wanna Be Sedated, Judy Is A Punk, Beat On The Brat and many more.
All in all, the Ramones are one of the best rock bands that ever made their name on the scene. Even though they are not all still alive, they are proper legends! <3 The Ramones!

Get the Ramones mug.A TV sitcom on CBS that's ending with its 9th season. Can be very funny, but each show seems to have the same plot.

Get the Raymond mug.One of the least known members of the Ramones. He is also the drummer of Blondie (the band). In the revolving door of the drummers for the Ramones -- Tommy, Marky, Richie -- Elvis came in at a time when Marky was too much of an alcoholic and before they got the uberquick drumming of Richie. He played for a few gigs before they kicked him out for better punk drumming talent.
