The Unheard Stories Of The Ramones Will Leave You Bewildered

If you know anything about The Ramones, then you are aware they defined garage-rock-based punk of the ’70s. With hits like “Sheena is a Punk Rocker,” they were influenced by classic bands including The Who, and cultures like the greasers. Their high energy was a huge part of their movement. The band’s impact is undeniable, but what’s even more intriguing are the behind the scenes moments of their lives. The Ramones played off many of the wild scenarios they were involved in, to the point where even die-hard fans weren’t aware of all that happened with the group.

The two bandmates hardly spoke for 15 out of 22 years the group was together. Marky told Johnny to make peace with Joey when he was dying to which he replied, “He’s not my friend.”
