January 13th, 2015

Marky Ramone's autobiography Punk Rock Blitzkrieg: My Life as a Ramone was published. Here's the review from my blog that I wrote in March 2015.

 

With Marky Ramone - October 2014

As previously written about here I'm a Ramones fan. Beyond the music I've become interested in what was going on behind the scenes. Along with the excellent liner notes included in the band's remastered catalog, the documentary End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones, Dee Dee and Johnny's memoirs and tour manager Monte Melnick's On the Road with the Ramones we now have the latest (and possibly final?) word on the Ramones from someone who lived it. Marky Ramone's Punk Rock Blitzkrieg: My Life as a Ramone covers his entire run as drummer for the band and much much more.
