SynopsisThe Ramones gave birth to punk rock. Their progeny fertilised every significant punk band, from the Sex Pistols to Nirvana and Green Day. Ramones: The Complete Twisted History tells their story at the breakneck pace of their own blitzkrieg bop . From their early career to Joey Ramone s untimely death in 2001, it tells the tale of life taken to extremes, too soon, plus the story of their music. The Ramones, trashy and all-American, are depicted here in all their jaded glory., In this biography of the Ramones, Dick Porter tells the story of one of the most important bands ever, fashioning a punk rock history in the process. The book covers the Ramones residency at CBGBs and the New York punk scene, and relates all the subsequent high drama, from turbulent recording sessions with Phil Spector to Johnnys near fatal beating and the climatic 1996 Lollapalooza tour, right through to Joeys untimely death in 2001, Formed in 1974, the Ramones fashioned their style from a love of 1960s pop music, proto-punk bands, trash culture, and horror movies. Here is their entire story, from CBGB and Rock 'n' Roll High School to turbulent recording sessions, the climactic 1996 Lollapalooza tour, Dee Dee's change to horror author, and Joey's death in 2001. 50 black-and-white photographs are included in this story of the band that was as trashy as last week's garbage and as all-American as the eagle on their logo. "If there were a Punk Rock Hall of Fame ... the Ramones would be the first inducted." -- Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam
