RIP, three out of FOUR of the GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND EVER are now GONE!!! ;-(

Clemenza's going to put on Rocket to Russiaright now while he sulks in his leather jacket and sulks about old times at CBGB in "Noo Yawk City where dey haz it all" (pace Joey).

RIP Johnny. We hardly knew ye.

PT Boat on the way to Havana, you can make a livin' man pickin' the banana ~ Ramones

I don't know what their political sentiments were for certain, but I do mourn, this is the same band that sung "now I wanna sniff some glue" ... always had that eagle symbol too.

If I am not mistaken, throughout the course of their career, at one point, one bandmember left and another took his place, if I am correct, I am not sure. Thought they got a baldheaded drummer.

I pray for all.

Greatest rock band ever. Oh, Lord not even close. A good band but way below the stratosphere.

Saw them a number of times in their heyday. Got their autographs on a blank inner sleeve of the Rock and Roll High School album at a record store signing. Still have it. I got one of them to add "We've seen Freaks too" I would rank their shows at the very top of my concert going experiences. RIP Johnny. Thanks for the memories!!!

NYC old-school GOP-punk-rock sadness here. A shame Johnny can't get to see Bush re-elected... he bravely fought the good fight for our side! RIP!!!! A true legend.

Think I'll blast "Loudmouth" on the headphones...

I was a slammer at City Gardens (aka Seedy Gardens) in Tren'on New Joisey back in the 80's. Saw many good bands there. Even saw Iggy Pop in the early 90's when he was trying a comeback and was actually polite. The time before that when he played there he got arrested for exposing himself on stage.
Saw The Cramps there, too, and many, many others. But I NEVER saw Sinbad O'Connor there, thankfully (though millions claim they did).
The Ramones were one of the best blasts. Sad to see these bands breaking apart. And too bad the current generation of alternative music has let their forebears down so badly. No where to dance anymore, especially in Seattle.

RIP Johnny. We hardly knew ye.

I guess so, hell, I never heard of him.
