Ramones, 1980.

Here‘s Marky, Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee in Oslo, August 30, 1980.

Later that evening, the fans would storm the stage at Chateau Neuf, forcing the band to stop the show. When this photo was taken in the afternoon, they were still smiling, not yet knowing what was ahead of them.

Johnny Ramone, 1992.

Here‘s Johnny with his trademark photo face, captured by Danny Clinch in 1992.

In Monte A. Melnick‘s great book „On The Road With The Ramones“, Tommy Ramone - amongst others - shares his memories about his Highschool pal from Forest Hills, and what it was like to be around him.

„Once I was taking to Johnny in the dressing room and looked into his eyes. His pupils were the tiniest I’ve ever seen in my life, which signals aggression. I don’t think he was angry with me, but that’s what he carried around (…) He can be very likeable. When a person first meets him and he’s in a good mood, he’ll charm. the pants off ya, genuinely. He has that. It’s part of him. Hes a nice guy. Johnny is very funny when he wants to be. He is very witty, highly intelligent, very quick and can be fun to be with. You can’t forget him. But if he turns on you, watch out.“

Here‘s CJ in August 1989, shortly after the Ramones had officially welcomed him to the family.

Johnny, CJ & Joey Ramone, 1991.

Here‘s Johnny, CJ and Joey on stage in Melgar de Fernamental, March 18, 1991. It was the last night of a two week tour of Spain and Catalunya, with two nights at Barcelona‘s Zeleste - both recorded for the live album „Loco Live“, released in two different versions (US & Europe) later that year.

„Loco Live“ was the first Ramones release with CJ as full band member. His first studio album was „Mondo Bizarro“, released in 1992.

Joey Ramone, 1995.

Here‘s Joey on stage at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, August 12, 1995.

This is him listening to Johnny, Marky and CJ blitzing through the opener „Durango 95“, before Joey would join them on vocals for „Teenage Lobotomy“.

After the third song „Psycho Therapy“ the band paused for Joey to welcome the local fans to the show and dedicate the next tune to a fellow artist, a friend, the promoter or a fan. And then CJ launched the countdown to „Blitzkrieg Bop“.

Who do you remember Joey to dedicate a song to?

Ramones & fans, 1976.

Here‘s Johnny, Tommy, Joey and Dee Dee meeting two of their fans in Central Park, in spring 1976.

The band and photographer David Gahr roamed the streets of New York, looking for good spots to snap some pictures. Here they are near Playmates Arch in Central Park, close to the Central Park Zoo and the Central Park Carousel.

Eight years later, photographer George DuBose invited the band to the exact same location, for the cover shoot of „Too Tough To Die“ - this time in the tunnel you can see in the back of this photo.

Dee Dee Ramone, 1983.

Here‘s Dee Dee at the EMU Ballroom in Eugene, Oregon, May 2, 1983. Opening band was D.O.A.

Not sure what it was like in the United States, but bringing cameras to a show in Europe in the 80s was dangerous.

The back of any concert ticket reminded their holder that photos, filming and/or recording the show was not allowed! And in case you get caught, the security would kick you out the door.

So thanks to Richard La Rosa for not giving a f*ck and bringing his camera to the show - great shot from the pit.

Johnny Ramone, 1979.

Here‘s Johnny on stage at the „Dr. Pepper Summer Music Festival“, New York, August 6, 1979.

This was the first appearance of the Ramones at this event. They played here at the Wallman Rink in Central Park a second time, on August 11, 1980.

In this photo, it seems Johnny prays to heaven for the rain to stop pouring down on him and the fans.

Ramones & Exploding White Mice, 1989.

Here‘s Joey, Marky, Johnny and CJ with Exploding White Mice from Adelaide, Australia, November 6, 1989.

Exploding White Mice took their name from a scene in the 1979 film „Rock’n’Roll High School“, where a laboratory mouse spontaneously explodes upon exposure to music by The Ramones.

Things came full circle for the band when they were asked to open for the Ramones at the Old Lion Hotel in their hometown Adelaide.

The Australia/New Zealand 1989 trip of the Ramones was only the second tour for new bassist CJ Ramone, who had played his first live show September 30, in Leicester, England.

For most of the Australian shows the opening band was Hard-Ons.
