Johnny Ramone invented the relentless down stroke guitar sound that defined not only the groundbreaking sound of the legendary Ramones, but the guitar voice of the punk rock movement in general. Johnny was the driving force behind the Ramones sometimes referred to as a drill sergeant, bringing order and regiment to the band. This is evident in the speed, accuracy and intensity of their music. Johnny kept the Ramones focused and moving forward, ultimately securing their place in rock history. The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 18, 2002. Following Johnnny's death in 2004, an 8-ft tall, bronze memorial statue in his image was instated at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA. The statue has become a place for fans to gather and remember the rock icon and the birthplace of the yearly "Johnny Ramone Tribute" event. Johnny's strength endures and his popularity with young and old alike remains timeless and immortal along with the music and aesthetic he created with the Ramones.

In addition to some incredible cartoon renderings of Johnny by Sam Fout and an animated Johnny Ramone Army short, world famous pop culture artist Shepard Fairey designed a photo realistic illustration of Johnny as well as several variant JRA logos under commission by Johnnys Estate.
