Title: RIP, Tommy Ramone Post by: Cadaverine on July 12, 2014, 03:53:46 AM The last remaining member of the Ramones died last night. They were my introduction to the punk scene back when I was a kid, and now they're gone. I feel old.

Only saw them once, back in the 90's they toured with Lolapalooza. That tour actually came to a blistering corn field in Newport, TN. It was 94 degrees and 100% humidity. On come the Ramones...in full leather gear. They play their whole set and didn't undo a fucking button. Legendary band. RIP.

A bag, t-shirts, promo stuff from the clubs I worked at, all sorts of junk. I was definitely a loyal fan. Having said that, I'm not surprised that most of them died relatively young. :heartbreak:

Title: Re: RIP, Tommy Ramone Post by: Signe on July 14, 2014, 06:54:37 PM Yet Keith Richards is still going strong. So unfair. It's the pickling process. Also, he can afford to go to Switzerland every week for secret virgin monkey piss injections.
