R.I.P., Tommy Ramone: The Last Original Ramone Has Died
It's a sad day for rock 'n' roll fans in New York and beyond: Tommy Ramone, the last living original member of The Ramones, has passed away at the age of 65 on Friday at home in Ridgewood, Queens.
Originally intended to be the band's manager, Tommy, born Erdélyi Tamás, was one of the founding members of The Ramones, joining Johnny, Dee Dee and Joey Ramone to form one of the gnarliest rock quartets the Eastern Seaboard had ever encountered in 1974. Coming up in the CBGB and Max's Kansas City scene of New York in the '70s, The Ramones shouldered up alongside The New York Dolls, The Velvet Underground, Blondie, Patti Smith and other musical icons in the making, plowing into rock history with with their black leather jackets, blunt bangs and body-shaking sound that would go on to inspire countless other acts.
