The Ramones : Ramones Mania
The Ramones
were an
American
Punk Rock band
that formed in
the
New York City
neighborhood
of Forest Hills,
Queens,
in 1974.
They are often cited
as the first band to
define the
punk-rock sound.
Despite achieving
only limited
commercial success,
the band was a
major influence
on the 1970s
punk movement
in both
the United States
and United Kingdom.
All of the band members
adopted pseudonyms
ending with the surname
"Ramone",
although none of them
were related.
They performed 2,263 concerts,
touring virtually nonstop
for 22 years.
In 1996,
after a tour with
the Lollapalooza music festival,
the band played a
farewell concert
and disbanded.
By 2014,
all four of the band's
original members,
lead singer
Joey Ramone
(1951–2001),
bass guitarist
Dee Dee Ramone
(1951–2002),
lead guitarist
Johnny Ramone
(1948–2004)
and drummer
Tommy Ramone
(1949–2014),
had died
