Actually 2 drummers Tommy & Marky and Dee-Dee's bass replacement CJ!!!Originally Posted by BJ_M
But if you're talking original lineup, yeah only Tommy remains. I hear he's a recording engineer...
Back in Perth, Western Australia, in about '86 or so there was a CLASSIC Ramones cover band called "The Remains" who played Ramones songs twice as fast...!!! (Members of the legendary "Greenhouse Effect" and "Swamp Monsters"...!!!) -

Tommy Ramone was replaced on drums by Marc Bell (under the name Marky Ramone) as Tommy was exhausted after 2 years on the road. Tommy continued working with the band, working with Marky to ensure that his drumming was appropriate for the Ramones style, producing the Ramones fourth studio album Road to Ruin and their eighth Too Tough To Die. It was the Marky lineup which played a central role in Roger Corman's Rock 'n' Roll High School, released in 1979.
Marky Ramone was eventually replaced by Richard Beau (under the name Richie Ramone) and then by Clem Burke before rejoining the band in 1990. Due to ongoing personality clashes and frustration at not achieving success commensurate with their influence, they disbanded in 1996.
tommy is a very good engineer and works on a lot of projects as well as writes a lot of articles for recording engineer mag."Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems." - Rene Descartes (1596-1650) -

Again, my apologies...In the theater of the mind...

I stand corrected. I forgot about Richie Ramone & Clem Burke (Blondie's drummer)...tho' they were pretty much fill-in drummers.
I saw Ramones in '88 (?) in Fremantle...with CJ on bass & Marky on drums. X supported them.
FANTASTIC GIG!!!!!! Absolutely no gaps between songs, it was instant count-ins!!! Loud as f#$k!!!!!! Packed crowds, & lots of mindless drunken mayhem!!!
I remember seeing people out in the alleyway with blood noses & black eyes, and great silly grins on their faces... At least they were enjoying themselves!

They have a pretty big cult following in the USOriginally Posted by BJ_M
It started with CBGB's in lowerside Manhattan...where many of the early punks got their start.
The movie, Rock & Roll High School, is considered a cult classic.
They were a novelty act in the early MTV days - where their videos were played on heavy rotation.
I'd say they became icons for some.
Not exactly what most would consider the greatest band, but they sparked something that many teens could relate to.
They were a lot a fun...especially in the early punk and new wave era. -
So tell me? Does this mean my original vinyl pressings of the Road to Ruin & Rocket to Russia albums are to be worth a fortune some day?
Like a flea circus at a dog show!
