unregistered guest 1 Posted June 16, 2004 Johnny .. It sounds like he doesn't have much time left: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5218974/ (And speaking of guitarists, I'm surprised- and pleased- to find that this website is smart enough not to bet against Keith Richards. That expression about nuclear war and cockroaches was invented for keith, I think.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Night 4 Posted June 16, 2004 It's my belief that Mr. Richards entered the shadowy world of the undead years before Goth became trendy. Good catch on Mr. Ramone. Will he qualify in terms of fame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 16, 2004 Johnny Ramone comfortably passes the fame test in my book - too bad he selected that trusty "secret cancer" route - I reckon there's a spot reserved for him on DeathList 2005 if he's interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted June 17, 2004 Re Keef. Apparently, Keef Richards has given up smoking ON THE ADVICE OF HIS DOCTOR! Christ, if Keef has given up, what hope is there for the rest of us 40 a day black-lungs. At least we used to be able to justify our habit by believing we were living a facsimile of the rock and roll lifestyle as personified by Mr. R. Now, we truly are the unloved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted June 17, 2004 Conflicting stories are now emerging as to Johnnies condition. See the link below telling us he's not knocking at deaths door at this moment in time. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1488468/2...?headlines=true Let's hope not... yet. It's a long way to go until the next list is drawn-up, and I for one think Johnny is an excellent nomination. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoid Harry 23 Posted September 16, 2004 http://kevxml2adsl.verizon.net/_1_2...ed=ap&top=1 Johnny Ramone, of 'The Ramones,' Dies at 55 LOS ANGELES - Johnny Ramone, guitarist and co-founder of the seminal punk band "The Ramones," has died. He was 55. Ramone died in his sleep Wednesday afternoon at his Los Angeles home surrounded by friends and family, his publicist said. He had battled prostate cancer for five years, and was hospitalized in June at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Ramone, born John Cummings, was one of the original members of the Ramones, whose hit songs "I Wanna be sedated" and "Blitzkrieg Bop," among others, earned the band induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. The band's singer, Joey Ramone, whose real name was Jeff Hyman, died in 2001 of lymphatic cancer. Bassist Dee Dee Ramone, who was born Douglas Colvin, died from a drug overdose in 2002. Johnny Ramone founded "The Ramones" in 1974 with Joey Ramone, DeeDee Ramone and Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band. A tribute concert and cancer research fund-raiser was held Sunday in Los Angeles to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary. It featured performances by Los Angeles punk band X, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Henry Rollins and others. Along with his wife, Linda Cummings, Johnny Ramone was surrounded at his death by friends Eddie and Jill Vedder, and Rob and Sherrie Zombie. Other friends who gathered at his Los Angeles home included Lisa Marie Presley, Pete Yorn, Vincent Gallo and Talia Shire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted September 16, 2004 All day, ALL DAY! I sat at work trying to think of an amusing Ramones inspired, death headline, and all I could think of was the Hey Ho! Lets Go! attempt ... and then Ronnie comes up with I wanna be cremated. Bugger. I was still thinking of some kind of flat-lining "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" type thing, and it never really got any better than rubbish. Well done Ronnie. Git.
