The Ramones’ legendary drummer Marky Ramone will perform classic songs of The Ramones on Thursday, Sept. 18 in Cleveland, Ohio at Beachland Ballroom.
Marky joined The Ramones in Spring 1978 after Dee Dee Ramone (bass, vocals) asked him to join the band while the two were together at CBGB in New York City.
In a matter of weeks, Marky was in the studio recording his first album with The Ramones entitled, Road To Ruin, which features one of the biggest Ramones’ songs “I Wanna Be Sedated.”
The following year, The Ramones filmed the cult classic Rock 'n' Roll High School. Later that year, they joined forces with producer legend, Phil Spector to record End Of The Century.
After several tours and two more studio albums, Marky was asked to leave the band 1983, only to rejoin his bandmates in 1987 until they decided to call it quits in 1996.
His tenure with The Ramones spanned a total of 15 years; performing over 1700 shows and more than 15 releases, including songwriting credits on both Mondo Bizarro and Adios Amigos, the bands farewell release.
In 2001, Marky, along with his former bandmates (Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy), were inducted into The Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, U2’s Bono presented The Ramones with MTV’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
In Feb. 2010, The Ramones received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; it was the first Grammy Award for the punk-rock pioneers.
At the age of 73, Marky shows no signs of slowing down; continuing to tour the world, including a stop in Cleveland on Thursday, Sept. 18 at Beachland Ballroom.
