JOHNNY RAMONE COMMANDO - KEYRING
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. Listed in Time
Magazine's "10 greatest electric guitar players" and named #16 in
Rolling Stone Magazine's top 100 guitarists of all-time, 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. Johnny Ramone died of prostate cancer on
September 15, 2004. Following his death, an 8-ft tall, bronze memorial
statue in his image was instated at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in
Los Angeles, CA. The base of the statue includes inscriptions from some
of Johnny's closest friends (many of whom are quite famous in their own
rite, yet cite inspiration from Johnny). The aforementioned include
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Lisa-Marie Presley (daughter of Johnny's
hero, Elvis Presley) and Johnny's wife and companion of over two
decades, Linda Ramone. 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, which continues to grow annually, becoming
increasingly successful as each year passes. 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 (whos credits include
Cartoon Network, Lucasfilm, SNL and Disney
among others), and even
an animated
Johnny Ramone Army short, world famous pop culture artist Shepard Fairey
(Obey Giant) recently designed a photo realistic illustration of Johnny
as well as several variant JRA logos under commission by Johnnys
Estate.
