In Memoriam (1951–2001) • Ramones Founding Lead Vocalist & CBGB Punk Icon • Forest Hills, Queens / East Village, NYC • Since 1974
The 6-foot-6 heart and soul of the Ramones. Standing center stage at CBGB in his black leather jacket, rose-tinted sunglasses, and Converse sneakers with a wide-stanced grip on his microphone stand, Joey's yearning melodic tenor turned three-chord buzzsaw punk into timeless rock and roll.
“Punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am.'”

Dee Dee counts off '1-2-3-4!' at breakneck speed as Joey, Johnny, and Tommy tear through 'Blitzkrieg Bop' in front of a pogoing sea of leather jackets.
