For the first time, you can read the Ramones' comments about their
own history in this intimate series of interviews with the
legendary band. The Ramones were arguably the single most
influential rock 'n' roll act to emerge from that curious muddle of
magic and mediocrity called the 1970s. Two of the group's founding
members-singer Joey Ramone and bassist Dee Dee Ramone-didn't live
to see the Ramones become icons of popular culture, hear their
music in TV commercials, or experience the unlikely adoption of
"Blitzkrieg Bop" as a sports anthem. Guitarist Johnny Ramone barely
lived long enough to see it begin, and drummer Tommy Ramone's death
in 2014 wrote finis to the mortal part of the Ramones' story. The
legend endured. In 1994, as the Ramones celebrated their 20th
anniversary, then-current members Joey, Johnny, drummer Marky, and
bassist C. J. knew the group's Road To Ruin would soon approach its
end. Given an opportunity to assess where they'd been and what was
left to do, they agreed to a series of interviews discussing the
entirety of the Ramones' story. This is that story: a
career-spanning discussion of the Ramones' career, an intimate
glimpse at how the Ramones viewed their work, their experiences,
their impact, their legacy, their fans, and each other. It's a
unique and fascinating peek into what it was like to be one of the
few, the proud, the Ramones. For the first time, you can read the
Ramones' published comments about their own history, and much, much
more than ever could have fit into a single magazine issue.
