Présentation de l'éditeur
From their 1974 debut at New York's premier punk dive, through the classic albums and blistering live sets, The Ramones cut an unforgettable swathe through two decades of pop, setting the scene for punk and hardcore with honed-down songs and ferocious 20 minute sets, but always putting the music first.
Seen through the eyes of the people who were there at the time, including musicians, managers, producers, publicists and New York punk scenesters, this book shows the heroic Ramones staying faithful to their own unique musical vision right to the bitter end. This updated edition now climaxes with the sad death of guitarist Johnny Ramone.
Book Description
The story of the band from Queens is the paradigm rock saga- a litany of drugs, fallings-out, financial catastrophes, inter-band rivalries, bad management, and death. A sad, exhilarating rock biography.
