Johnny Ramone Death Report 2004

[Nordfelt]

I was on the way up to go fishing with my dad when we heard. We had a battle of the bands planned that weekend, and my friend's guitar was destroyed in an accident. Everything that went on that week was so fucked up!

[Hi5Gymnast]

Joey died on my birthday :(

[Greendayfan1258]

tommy being the only surviving ramone? wtf about marky?

[cormac71]

@Greendayfan1258 marky isnt an original member

[MJItalyKid91]

All good punk rockers went to heaven... but they wanna ROCK some more!!!

[270385666]

RAMONES VOCÊS FORAM OS MELHORES!!!!

FICOU UM VAZIO NA MUSICA DEPOIS QUE VOCÊS SE FORAM.

Rafael - Brasil

[topdat18]

God plz bring back the RAMONES

[87JuliR]

This guy made playing guitar the most exciting thing on earth... My hand is about to explode when i finish playing ramones songs!

[greyshark100]

he was a little stupid because he was fascinated by the nazis and adolf hitler

[marcuz5419]

@greyshark100 I  have never heard about that and ive been listening to the ramones for 10 years. And even if he was fascinated by Nazis doesnt meen he liked them.

[Oipunk74]

@marcuz5419 As a teenager Johnny was obsessed with Manson and Hitler, but when he was in the Ramones he was well over it. He looked at them more as a joke than a god.

[0mgwtfbbq21]

They just wanted to RIP (Rock in Peace)

[RICKOSIKO321]

RAMONES WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS

[Poppinphenobarbitol]

why a horrible person? just because it was right winger ? nonsense

live and let live

[PattiSioux]

@Poppinphenobarbitol

No no. He actually physically and mentally absued the Ramones. He made them do this and that which drove them nuts. He was a huge racist. When Bonzo went to Bitbrug and really upset Jewish Joey Ramone, Johnny just laughed at him and supported Reagan. He still a godess?

[Oipunk74]

@PattiSioux PUNK IS THINKING FOR YOURSELF. You don't have to be a liberal to be a punk. It's about thinking for yourself, which Johnny did. I'm somewhat of a republican and I hate Reagan and saw him as the moneypinching Grinch he was. Johnny and Joey were brothers. If someone went after Joey then their asses would be beat in a second by Johnny. Yes, they had major political and possibly racial views. But don't we all?

[Night94Wolf]

@MissRobertRamone all that hate on him just because he was a right winger.. :(

[jiboy79]

Ramones Never Die!

[desasterz]

I agree so much with BrickUnit

[CookiesxRawrx]

R.I.P Johnny!

[grua77]

horrible person, great guitarist in a fantastic band!

[IWAN3259]

This is sad :( 

[evilspike13]

Actually one original band member is still alive: Tommy.

[evilspike13]

Actually one original band member is still alive: Tommy.

[zeus5490]

Forget justin bieber, this guy was the king of sexy hair flips. Long live the dude who pretty much invented the sound of punk <3

[billparadise1]

I saw the Ramones in 1979. They rocked.

[xamakoification]

@billparadise1

WTF?? they still ROCK!

[thejakeyl88]

Its the tragedy of life, simply played out in their music, their lives... Just like the tragic lives we all tend to find ourselves wrapped up in as we grow older.... Tragic, but graceful and beautiful all at the same time.

[elysbons]

did Johnny finally talk to Joey in the end?

[cano2007]

@elysbons no, he didn´t

[RansakedBassist]

My friend thought it was dumb that he was on Time Magazines top ten greatest guitarists of all time. My rebuttle. How about you try inventing an entirely new style and genre on an instrument, and more so, try and play that fast the way he did.

[ilovetogofast88]

Hard to believe almost all of them are gone

[pipsqueek14]

johnny deedee and joey never die if they are in our hearts.

we miss you guys, but your music is still alive.

R.I.P.

Joey

Deedee

Johnny ramone

[sufkiller]

That guitar looks so beat up. I bet it loved every single chord it played.... I know I sure as hell did.

[Nicholsable]

R.I.P. Johnny 

[chicagocaam]

RAMONES FOREVER

[awesome1761]

):

[4dsemola]

@MuguRamone they spent all their life fighting...

kkk take my baby away was written by joey against johnny...

but we still discuss on them, and we listen their music...

hey ho!

[skatersportshop]

All angels go 2 heven and the ramones are angles and they are teaching jesus 2 rock

[DarkBoyKnight]

Dont worry johnny you completed your dream, Ramones one of the greatest band ever

[bowiemars]

he never visits his brother joey when he was with cancer , fuck johny

[punkadelicfuzz]

i remember the first time i listened to the ramones it was the blitzkrieg bop .... little did i know it was gonna change my life forever they have been my favorite band for 5 years now and forever will be rest in peace johnny your legacy will live forever in the spirit of rock n roll

[lorluis]

Happy 62nd birthday Johnny!

[cheezkid]

FUCK MTV! MTV SUCKS DICK!!!!! R.I.P. JOHNNY!!

[ozymay]

@cheezkid your so punk dude lol

[TheSleathable]

@MuguRamone spent the entire ramones history fighting..

still thats a band.

[beacondude]

makes me wanna cry

[antirotten430]

rip joey, dee dee, and johnny

[pollyjayne]

It will be 6yrs next week that Johnny passed but not forgotton DEAR JOHNNY YOU WHERE RIGHT ABOUT FLORIDA & I KNOW YOUR HANGING WITH The BABINO #2 in the sky R.I.P. & say hi to my MOM

[ceabrus]

he says the ramones will never die... thats true but that doesnt stop mtv from trying to kill it.

[KonChul]

Not the biggest band in the world but the most influential band of all time bar none!

[KRS1LEGEND]

You were the second biggest band in the world number one was milli vanilli XD jk

[SmokinMo11]

You were the 2nd biggest band in the world.Proven fact!!! Good enough.Love you 4 ever!!!

[marcuz5419]

Shitty mtv they didnt play a single ramones video scince the 1980s and then when someone from the band dies they are legends.

why the hell didnt they play theyre videos if they are legendary???

[BluntObject1234]

If I were the grim reaper and had the duty to kill Johnny (I wouldn't have a choice cause i'd be the grim reaper and I would HAVE to) I'd put him in a speeding Cadillac with Elvis cranked up. Die in a rock n roll way quick and painless. Not let him slowly die from prostate cancer :( I heard he wnt through the whole issue without pain killers. Becuase he wa afraid of losing control of his mind. He wanted to die with dignity I guess. He knew he was dying. I read about it.

[oldschoolpunkchris1]

@BluntObject1234 thats the saddest thing ive ever heard and ill just bow my head in honer

[HoosierMF]

Jonny was a money-obsessed prick. There are a whole load of tracks by Richie that never got released because Jonny wanted as much money as possible. I'm glad he's dead

[crybabywithoutacause]

@MuguRamone I agree its sad, was because johnny stole joeys girlfriend and I dont think joey ever got over it

If you look at most famous bands though, they werent exactly best friends. Guns n roses, the who, the smiths, the list goes on

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

The music may NEVER die.

[r0b90]

who is hoarding the video at 0.40 ????

[cheezkid]

LONG LIVE THE RAMONES! RIP Johnny, Joey and DeeDee!!! Johnny is the best guitarist to ever live.

[lamons71]

Johnny's trademark guitar riffs are legendary and changed music forever,Way underrated for what he influenced generations

[lily0313]

why are all the greatest muscians dead? fuck music today.

[longhairedpunk1]

none of em' ever died, they just went to heaven to practice some more

[BandDRotting92]

@longhairedpunk1 This comment just made me smile :)

[TheAwsomeStation]

@longhairedpunk1 they're just waiting for markey and tommy

[HimbeerSab]

@longhairedpunk1 there will be a great comeback someday <3

[FelipeRabelloMarinho]

@longhairedpunk1 They don't need practice

[weirdguy014]

When did Tommy died

[raymondlang]

@weirdguy014

Tommy Ramone is the only one left this side.

All 3 Ramones drummers are still with us.

[shanelizard]

@raymondlang You forgot to mention the short-lived career of a fourth drummer(between Richie and Marky):Elvis Ramone(Clive Burke,ex-drummer for Blondje).They kicked him out because he couldn't keep up.True story!

[ale999999]

al final ni siquiera sabia tocar la guitarra, no escribio casi ninguna cancion, tocando era malo porque decir que era el mejor del mundo porque toco los mismos 3 acordes x 30 años era por ineptitud y aparte era un fascista amigo de bush!!!! DEE DEE Y JOEY ERAN LOS VERDADEROS RAMONES

[criao]

John was the best and will be the best guitar player of all the world!!! nobody will make he makes with the same simplicity!! Johnny God Bless You!! I'll gonna see you on the otherside!! R,I.P.

[criao]

John was the best and will be the best guitar player of all the world!!! nobody will make he makes with the same simplicity!! Johnny God Bless You!! I'll gonna see you on the otherside!! R,I.P.

[WardleVonAwesome]

Anyone find it ironic that MTV basically shit on The Ramones for their entire career, refused to play their videos etc... And when one of them dies they're selling the story like a hooker selling blowjobs... They are pathetic...

RIP. Johnny, Dee Dee, Joey

[ledzeprocks21]

2004 was a shitty year for guitarists deaths... both johnny ramone and dimebag darrell RIP

[SuzzyStohelit]

I didn't realize he died of prostrate cancer, that one got Frank Zappa and my Dad too, of course the agent Orange my father got sprayed with while doing two tours of Nam didn't help his health but I digress...

These were not old guys either so listen up you guys, and get it checked by that cute little PA ( or what have you) before you become legend before your time...

[jramone333]

first of all fuck mtv fags they never supported ramones music, second of all i love johnny ramone and his guitar style, i cried the day he and joey died, he will never die in all ramones fans thou, the music , the lyrics , the guitar s sound will always live

rest in peace johnny

[defleppardfan69]

Yeah, if MTV cared so much, then that must explain why they refused to play Ramones videos after 1982.

[ColombianDude96]

GO RAMONES! Johny is my idol man!

[TheFaaqq]

era el mejor del mundo en su momento

[BrickUnit]

Fuck you MTV, you fucking pieces of shit!, johnny would fuck you up soo bad if he found out that your pop slut television that hasnt paid any respect to his band was covering his death

[lucho5192]

yeah!!

[ojaldra182]

a really punk rocker, really good guy

[iosulechuga]

viva los ramones!!!! john, joey and dee dee. QEPD

[alex77827]

RIP!

[RicanKing7]

we miss u johnny rip keep rocking in heaven

[joxter74]

Best music ever. I play The Ramones and old great music all day, and i've stoped listen to the radio now days. I can live without todays shit music! Gabba Gabba!

[sigotcha]

It's "Sheena is a Punkrocker"

[BrickUnit]

When i die i want to have sex with joey johnny and dee dee in heaven

[grubang]

that's fucked up, but i understand

[RossM3838]

The band's three drummers Tommy., Mark Bell and Richie are all alive and well and continue to play and tour.

[DylansVideoWorld]

tommy doesn't play he's a record producer

[RossM3838]

@DylansVideoWorld While Tommy has produced many successful albums he also tours in a bluegrass based group called Uncle Monk.

[SignoreDeiSogni]

johnny un saluto dall'italia da dei tuoi fan sfegatati. w i ramones e w i ramirez

[lucifer984]

they were indeed, the greatest band in the world....

everytime i hear rock and roll i can only think on 2 things leather jackets, and johnny ramone playing.

[NeilFraudstrong]

I have always found it to be absolutely hilarious that Johnny was a conservative because The Ramones are considered to be so anti-establishment. It made me laugh.

I also used to think Johnny was overrated as a guitarist "All he does is play power chords" I'd say, but he was an innovator in other ways. As they said in the video, The Ramones created that sound. Others merely imitate it. RIP Johnny.

[MegaSpringXZ]

hey guys dont feel sad

atleast tommy is still alive ^_^

[GymFloozie]

I guess they're waiting for Tommy up there, and when he gets there, there's going to be some serious fucking rock and roll happening in heaven.

[Daneil63]

without johnny ramone..

theres no punk

[shashwati]

RIP Johnny...can't ever repay you for everything your music has given me (& millions of other people)...

[AllRamonesMusic]

johnny was too busy to age, he toured non stop for 22 years

[jakkenton]

Bless him, he was a great character and part of an even greater band.

The Ramones as a group should still be looked up to- full stop.

[Phenomenalhardy]

The Wicker Man in Memory of Johnny Ramone.

[UseYourlllusion]

i want hair like his!

[1EyEDarkDemon]

Just a heads up...YOU POSTED THIS 4 YEARS TOO LATE!

[vslashskateteam]

theyre retarted they said he was the last remaining ramone every one knows tommy is still alive now WOW FUCK MTV THEYRE ALLL DOUCHES!!!

[rissenfb]

haha retarted? its retarded. hahaha

[VSPINKLOVER89]

I just teared up a little....

[ToastedOmond]

I remember hearing this but i did not know who he was then.

[rockerguitarman]

i he doing upstrokes in the end???

[alvask8z2000]

Good old Johnny the hard ass Republican that collected comic books and baseball memorbilia ... stole Joey's girl and controlled the purse strings... hell of a guitar player but a complete asshole to everyone around him

[86thegrouch]

i have to agree with you

he wasnt a good person

but, musically, its one of my heroes

[RockAndRollChuck]

i don't anyone really knows how important the ramones were to rock and roll. they invented punk, influence, new wave, powerpop, hardcore punk, post hardcore, emo, Thrash metal, indie, alternative rock, grunge and pretty much everything rock related today. they influence U2, ,metallica, slayer, guns n roses, poison, iron maidon and so on. Ramones saved rock and roll. Johnny Ramone guitar style is one of the most influencetal styles to be played. Ramones saved rock and roll!

[jimmyp]

"In other news, we only played that segment on the ramones because we felt it would get our ratings up, anyway here is some shitty rap to sooth your shitty souls"

[AllRamonesMusic]

Punk is dead in reality but in spirit it will never die, punk is dead because bands like fall out boy, panic at disco and my chemical romance exisit

[greendaygirl211]

i know. they suck. The Ramones invented punk music and all these modern bands are thying to fake that. Punk is something that can't be reproduced or faked. it's made.

[AllRamonesMusic]

your right, and punk nowadays is being manufactured like fucken boybands,=

[greendaygirl211]

boybands are so fuckin stuipd. they have to be gay. dancing around and singing like girls. Punk Rock will never die. the artist of it can pass but the music won't

[greendaygirl211]

man this bitch on mtv talking thinks that Johnny's fans don't know his brith name is John William Cummings, god

[greendaygirl211]

Johnny's up there still rocking out with Dee Dee and Joey. Rock in Paridise!!!

Miss you Johnny! :'(

[sufkiller]

Johnny didn't die, he just left the stage for a while.

[greendaygirl211]

i can't belive that Johnny pasted 15 days before his 56th birth day

[vslashskateteam]

i accidently did the down thumb to 580JOHn623 but i honestly agree with him (i just clicked the wrong thing

[580JOHN623]

As if anyone who watches mtv gives a shit about The Ramones. Those fuckers don't even know how big of an influence The Ramones were on music.

[garryindahouse]

other then the beatles ramones r thee best band ever R.I.P 3 pioneers of rock music

[spinalCJ]

it's also hard to believe that johnny once threw stones at the beatles at a concert lol, or is it that hard to believe?

[greendaygirl211]

but Johnny loves the Beatles. i read that qoute he said that his favorite artist are the Beatles and Elivs

[spinalCJ]

he probably does, but i think he was only like 10 or 11 when that happened, just he was probably just being a little bastard for the sake of it haha. watch end of the century dvd it's on that

[greendaygirl211]

na i found the quote online from like 1977

[dgker22]

the ramones will live on forever

[henryfan88]

mtv is full of shit they could care less about the ramones and they hate rock n roll all they ever play is shitty rap

R.I.P JOHNNY

[greendaygirl211]

i know. mtv sucks they need to play some better rock 'n' roll music. not every one likes rap. and we all know that Johnny was looking down on the lying bitchs at mtv saying Ya'll don't give a damn about this band

[AllRamonesMusic]

Agreed

[greendaygirl211]

thanks. i hope he's watching us ramones fans in rock 'n' roll heaven along side Dee Dee and Joey.

[randomsunproductions]

hey is the version of rock n roll high school at 0:34 on itunes or on a cd and if anybody knows tell me please

[lewdboy1945]

end of the century

[gravedadzeroo]

fuck mtv,

[shadylurker138]

Johnny Ramone is my biggest influence in music

[hatfield223]

3 of the 4 original Ramones being dead is one of the saddest things in the world.

[awhofan1]

biggest influence ever

[Nezumi6]

col

why did any of them have to die???

i love the ramones

they were the best punk rock band ever!

love how the vid ends w/ sheena

[TheLynch100]

The guys simply awesome!

[1222u]

i think they are the biggest band in the world

[slaPPyfunk]

gabba gabba

you guys the best!

[1chichimec1]

Neveh Hoid-O-th'Boid!

[RAMONES910]

johnny joey dee-dee R.I.P THE RAMONES LIVE THE BEST PUNK ROCK BAND EVER I LOVE THE RAMONES

GABBA GABBA HEY¡¡

[DancesWithCats55]

... and he could play that guitar and wear those sleeveless shirts like no one else could.

R. I. P. Johnny, Dee Dee, Joey. I love you guys.

[ale999999]

anyway ... he said god bless bush?????

rock and roll and george bush????

mmm ... like the ramones dee dee joey but this ramone.. forget about it

[b1a2r3f4]

I don't give a fuck about politics in this case. He was a Ramone, and one of the band's basics. Everyone knew Jhonny has been a Rebublican all of his life, while Joey has been Democrat, and politically active. God bless them 'cause they never let their poroblems destroy the band, and they had enough money to throw the whole thing away and go home. RAMONES are more important than any president of the united states. Many would think that's crazy, but think about it again.

[DancesWithCats55]

Yeah man!

[ricardo25891263]

he was ironic when he said god bless america and president bush

[SeanyDrums]

no he was for real, he was a big republican if you knew anything about him youd know that.

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

not everybody who loves rock n roll has to be a liberal! johnny ramone is one of the most important people in rock n roll so shut your mouth, your a nobody! he was also the most punk member of the band, joey was the one responsible for the poppy sound that the ramones went through in the 80s! if it were up to johnny they wouldve played their whole career like they did on the first three records! rip joey, johnny, and dee dee! the music most certainly will NEVER die!

[RockyBalboa7777]

I love how people like ale999999 suddenly turn on someone (like Johnny Ramone) after however long being a fan simply because their political views may differ. What a great reason to suddenly hate the man. Idiot.

[ale999999]

he likes bush; bush like to play war games... I dont like people like this. fascism is hate.. anyway is dead. who cares?

[GothGaara92]

So he was a republican-so what?

He was also an amazing guitarist

[rockandmetalarecool]

what song is it at 0:26

the backround

[austinandjoefilms]

Psycho Therapy

And the music will never die.

[MizzRamone]

omg, i cried... R.I.P Johnny, we miss u all. <3 Punk will never agian be the same ! <3

[RsOneMill]

No no no no My brain is hanging upsidedown!

[atombomb324]

dam rite the ramones created punk rock

[karlsalz]

johnny no why must you leave us? I will always miss you!

HEY HO LETS GO! :°(

[peeman213]

Johnny Ramone

GABBA GABBA HEY

[leftoverblake]

Fuck, I wish I could have met Johnny just once.  I have heard that he was a jerk to people, but I don't care. In fact, I'd be disappointed if he wasn't. He is my inspiration as a guitarist. He created a sound that to this day, I have yet to hear ANYONE duplicate, including myself. Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee...man it's too bad. The music will always be here though.

[chadbragg]

Its crazy how Johnny didnt seem to age at all. 3 years before his death he looks pretty much the same as he did in the eighties.

[CeeLord76]

it's the rock and roll in their veins

watch Dio, Lemmy, Joey, Iggy... they age differently from normal people

punk's not dead at all

[rustinpieces]

Check out some of their 70's vids on YT - Johnny looks exactly the same there, too.

[realneji4]

RIP Johnny

you may not have had good politics but you were great with a guitar

[paisabombom2133]

U GUYS ARE THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD! i will c u in heaven dee dee joey and johnny i love u all, so bad that i couldnt have the chane 2 c them alive! i love u ramones! i have so much devotion and respect for the fallen heroes! Phil Lynott hendrinx keith moon jim morrison the ramones john lennon bonzo brian jones freddie mercury bon scott RIP THE LEGENDS!

[tade445]

i think, three of them can be dead now, but his music won't die, it's a shame, but people will forget about the great music with the pass of the time, it's our duty to tell our sons about the REAL music, so they don't get lost in the 'new' music,and they will not be forget.

sorry bad english.

[TVdodal]

Yeah, i think the same. Its hard to watch how people dont know about real music. Lady Gaga thats no music at all
