He was not. He was a junkie , I have seen his band to perform and that was a shame.

And what have you done?

ROCK EN!!!! ROLL!!

Dee Dee rules, and was a great songwriter. But I think the idea that he wrote most of their songs is overrated. Tommy wrote Blitzkrieg Bop. Joey's songwriting credits include Sedated, Sheena, KKK, Rock N' Roll Radio,and plenty of other good ones, including the first 2 Ramones songs (I dont care, here today gone tomorrow).

drugs are part of rock and especially punk rock and it opens your creativity

Absolutely 💞

😢

All done. All too soon. Too much glue. Too much sedation. Too much carbona. Too many basements. Too many pet cemeteries. But still NOT nearly enough airwaves!!!!

Ramones are dead literally....

@@thetrooper4743 Not true. I just listened to them.

Nah Dee Dee wrote all the songs Joey was just his singer . It was always about Dee Dee.

I agree and love joey as the next person dee dee true MVP he started the ramones name and wrote the majority of the songs even when he wasn't in the band anymore

one of how many?

fuck yeah!

Rad Skanking Skateboarder best comment ever!!!

They will be missed.

Damn, I miss the Ramones!!!

Wouldve loved to hug deedee

Marisa Campbell the valedictorian of my high school took dee dee's speech word for word at graduation. it was pretty awesome.

fo a junkie, addict - it was typical - self-centered BS

Grow up! Let s have a world of junkies and drunks - want to get on a bus Jet? Well the pilots are all strung out, cause they are Dee Dee''s!

Yes--Dee Dee was a problem: very selfish, almost crazy. Fits right in with the band. Joey wrote good stuff; people tend to forget this.

Alex Harvey I want to do that! Too bad I'll never be valedictorian.

@Fryx Ur Reminds me of this dialogue: "I was wondering, what are your thoughts on Sid Vicious?" - enthusiastic radio caller "He's dead." - Joey

Clearly he was not.

How can you be sure? Are you a medium, psychic?

Johnny wasn’t really Joey’s bro but ok

Not next to Johnny

True, they acted very evil, the plan was to honor Joey separately, as the guitarist forbade even Joey's mother or brother to sit next to him, the super long speech was on purpose, not to give time to Joey's family to honor him, was plotted between him and the guitarist. Joey's mother can't even go and receive the award on her behalf, at the end of the ceremony an assistant "threw" the trophy from the top of the stage to Miss Charlotte. (I read this in Joey's biography, written by his brother). I'm talking because I love Joey so much, and people need to know the truth!

But Joey received the most beautiful honor in the year 2003, which was the street with his name "Joey Ramone Place Street"❤ To win a street with his name in Manhattan... Much better than any hall of fame! He is so deserving❤

@@TelmaHyman "was plotted between him and the guitarist" between johnny and johnny?

@@Kyush4 yeah. Especially Johnny.

Johnny's wife, Linda, used to be Joey's girlfriend at first. After she married Johnny, the relationship between the two men was not the best.

Definitive Energy i agree with you ! Richie was a official drummer, he played in 400 concerts! CJ was not included also, but he was official member too. Sad.

@@davidnissim589 What are you talking about, pal? Tommy wrote Blitzkrieg Bop! And Marky in the late era co-wrote amazing songs like Learn to Listen, The Job That Ate My Brain, Have a Nice Day, Anxiety, etc.

@@davidnissim589 Tommy literally wrote Blitzkrieg Bop

Why weren’t they included?

I agree, we love All the 7 Ramones

agreed...he was barely mentioned. not cool...

Funny , I thought the same thing.

At the end when Marky jumped in & mentioned Joey & his family.. he wrote in his book that since nobody mentioned Joey or his family, he gave a shot out to them which was good.. plus he was pissed at Johnny for wanting a table far away from Joey's family, plus was disappointed in John for thanking President Bush

I think Eddie vedder slightly bashed bush and then johnny said god bless the president haha johnny was awesome

Tommy mentioned him

maybe Johnny kept those creative grazies together, so it had to be like this , some order

"Up yours, Springfield!"

Go the hell old bastid😂

Mr. Jack Hey I think they liked us!

I'd just like to say this gig sucks!

darthmaxbox320 We still have CJ, Richie and Marky

Josh Josh RIP all of the original Ramones.

Officially he was 6'6 but in 1992 he told a man that he was 6'8 maybe 6'9

the negative detail of johnny, he was a republican, and his attitudes reflect it, very good joey dedicating the song kkk to my baby away

this comment is too underrated

@@mauriciobm5534 You know, that wasn't what it was about, really. Marky told the real story behind the song in an interview.

@@mauriciobm5534 Being a Republican doesn't make someone a bad person. Being a modern day Democrat does though. Better just to be nothing!

Awwwwwww...yasssss! I just love him.

Johnny was the motor, brain and mastermind of this band.

holy shit you're really her?

Has that changed at all?

:)

THREE FOUR!

@@greensmurf9623 CRETINS WANNA HOP SOME MORE!

Joey deserved more!! Sorry to his family

Kind of a bummer that Richie wasn’t invited.

@@TheBestComicKing I think that Richie and CJ should have been on stage. They were both Ramones.

marky had a problem with cj, until today they didn't find out, but they left the guy aside

that`s like it was with "mamas and papas" without Cass Elliot RNR hall of fame. look like bygone.

Tenes razón, Si no fuera por Joey nunca hubieran llegado, lastima que se acordaron poco de él en ese momento, pero bueh la historia es historia. Los amo y gracias 4ever

Joey was the best. God bless President Bush is a different way of punk style

Es cierto, el fue el primero en morir en 2001

Stephen Neil it's alright man, I'm sorry too it's just that I m a big fan of the Ramones, but I also respect your opinion too.

@frank grimes wigger please! you got your arse handed to ya by homer simpson! may as well preach to the choir

That said thing is it could have been avoided

3 months or so*

Life sucks.

Hello Marilyn

Truth!! Joey was wonderful❤

True!

Poor Dee Dee, he was so missunderstood, much respect to him and The Ramones :D Gabba Gabba Hey!

yes, i see that . And Dee really was the soul of ramones

+არასოდეს ვიქნებისხვა get your own profile pic

tragic he died only two months later...and the footage of the afterparty at the end of the End of the Century Doc shows how isolated he felt

***** No he doesn't, he was the youngest.

He was the second oldest, Dee Dee was the youngest.

Well Tommy didn't dye his hair, he always had a lazy eye, he put on more weight, and his nose swol up from alcohol, remember he didn't have to preform on stage the last 50yrs like the rest, so why not let yourself go haha

Its called the magic of hair dye

BryanX 64 except for Marky

cazza Australia YES!!! 🎸🎼🤟🏼🤠♠️🤩🇨🇭🇫🇷☘️🌺😊

I agree. RIP

Exactly 😞

That's what Queen did for Freddie Mercury.

She probably didn't have the ten grand for a seat.

brenda Capaldi Tommy was a class act. Marky is a fine drummer but things started going down hill when he left the band.

It's speaks more about how bad the others were

Marky really cared about Joey too he was the only ramone member to visit Joey at the hospital he brought Joey a cd player and CD's

he should have been in a meeting, that was his place

Which is hilarious because there the only one in a suit

You mean Johnny?

Exactly bro

honestly I can't stand the rock and roll fame country club mentality and it's in full view here !.. it just sucks.. it's just as bad as the Oscars..

Tommy did mentioned CJ, It was in the video "for keeping the band young, CJ".

Nobody salutes Richie? not good. Richie reviatlized the Ramones at their nadir.

Who cares about CJ or Richie or Elvis Ramone. They work on any albums that work the Ramones good stuff. CJ played for a couple tours that's it. The other three Ramones we're just fill-ins when the others couldn't perform their job due to sickness or addiction sickness. I don't get mentioned and some of the Bands that were famous because I replaced somebody that couldn't do their job at that particular time and I don't expect those bands to. The only reason why the Ramones mentioned Eddie Vedder and the other people is because they had to d e e d e e and Joey thought Eddie Vedder was a moron. Most musicians don't like Eddie Vedder because they know what what Eddie Vedder is involved in and I'm not talking the music industry I'm talking satanic evil s***. Look how Eddie Vedder supported Memphis Three. Every celebrity and musician that supported these three teens are official satanists. These celebrities pressured judges and evidence was suppressed and these teens were later released with just 10 years suspended sentence.

@@thomas-rs1vb Eddie sang with Joey on the last song of the last show The Ramones ever did, Any Way You Want It. I'd find it strange if they didn't like Eddie because he was the person they decided to finish the whole 30 year run with. Plus I disagree that the others didn't matter, Marky's style was very good, I'd say Ritchie's was better. CJ was a good vocalist and bassist, the song Main Man is probably the best example of his voice. I do think that everything after End of the Century was hit or miss though, after that album they tried to mix Spector sounds with classic radio rock, and occasionally really hard punk. Instead of just doing punk like they revolutionized. Although I think if they kept doing the same thing after that it would've gotten stale, so either way they would've gotten complaints. Idk why I typed all that, none of it really went anywhere.

@@destroyernoah I agree with most of what you're saying. But let me tell you something about Eddie Vedder most people in the music scene especially the Olympia Seattle scene where I came from where Eddie Vedder claims that he's from. The Seattle scene was ending because of the popularity on MTV. When Eddie Vedder move to Seattle after playing in a severely crappy band called Mookie Blaylock. Eddie Vedder was a total idiot disrespectful to women and a real weirdo around children. Then Pearl Jam was born after Green River broke up and Eddie jump to the chance to be the new singer. Or actually the labels jumps to put him in that position. Because Eddie was already one of their minions. After the song Jeremy came out that was total b*******, and the way Eddie Vedder ego exploded and the way he treated people people in the industry began to hate him. People like Eddie Vedder as bout as much as they like Courtney Love in the music scene. Eddie would make himself be a part of projects when he was not invited by anybody else involved in the project. He would make the labels do as he wished because at the time he was one of their biggest selling Stars.. as far as a Ramones Eddie Vedder being a fan of the Ramones pushed his way and used his power to get to do certain things with the Ramones. When he introduced them, DD and Johnny both were livid. but they know being in the music industry as long as they have been in the music business there was nothing they can do about it. Johnny wanted someone like Wayne Kramer from the MC5 or Iggy Pop from the Stooges to induct them or even Ray from The Doors. these people were all in attendance but Eddie pushed his power and got the position. Joey was the only one that like Eddie Vedder or let's say could stand him. if you are in the music scene especially in a 90s pretty much the two people that could not be standed the most like I said earlier were Eddie Vedder and Courtney Love. I m buddies with most of the people in Pearl Jam except for pretty much Eddie. Stone and Jeff don't really even like Eddie Vedder and they play in Pearl Jam with him. But those two are now industry ponds who have sold their souls to the industry and have to do what they're told. and I mean that when I say that that they have to do what they are told or else.

Hal R. But yet if anyone deserved it they did

The way I see it the people who really deserve it are the Ramones Elvis The Beatles Iggy and the Stooges when it comes to keeping Rock Alive anyways

They were first official punk band but they become significant very late, which is ridicule, they were true and rare real punk band, but they didn't achieve much in my opinion, best thing about them is that they didn't change their style at all, all songs are basically the same...

"trivial" Because it's the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, yes. They're embarrassing in general.

Actually according to what Mickey Leigh said, that was dee dee’s. Dee dee accidentally grabbed Joey’s.

Anne TheeHuman I heard from Marky ramone’s book punk rock blitzkrieg that it was Johnny’s award that was left. Johnny apparently took Joey’s. It’s kind of heartwarming

Grace Milstein aww. 😭❤

A true Punker

Yes, I think that some of the other members of the band managed to take the wrong award statuette...and it is hard to see now (beacause the film ended just there) if someone took Joeyes award with them...but surely his family got the reward later on.

Faltaba el numero1 Yoie

Chris J you would hope they had respect for each as the band cause they are so amazing!

Tommy is the only one in the band who truly cared about Joey!

Tommy.

So have the Pistols tho 🤘🤘

i was just saying that your picture says that the clash are better than the sex pistols and i dont agree

Thats right...i also love the clash...but my favorites are the pistols

There was such resistance to the New York Dolls and no doubt a lot of that resistance is the RnRHoF itself.

No, the Hall of Lame is unworthy of the Dolls.

Must've been annoying for him to realize when he came home lol
