The big thing to remember about "
The Ramones" is that besides rocking like mad, they were good people. They made a whole ton of friends on the way through, were always willing to help out, just play for the sake of playing and generally stuck together through whatever came (including all the Joey/Johnny clashing). Just take a look at Johnny Ramone's grave marker in the picture we're referencing. That's a pretty cool quote...
Hell Joey Ramone still has an annual
Birthday Bash. As you can see in the flyer at the previous link, it sells out, and fairly quickly. The planning for this years is already under way. People still visit his grave and leave things like mix-tapes and guitar picks. Also, he was totally OCD to a level beyond Dee and would check himself into hospitals when it got too bad.
I know Dave has heard "I Wanna Be Sedated", everyone has, and he got a little "Blitzkrieg Bop" in his plastic guitar gaming. And I know damn well he knows
