Marky Ramone

“I listened to Buddy Rich a lot, and also to guys like Clive Bunker, the original drummer from Jethro Tull. All these guys had a jazz influence, and they didn't want to be called rock drummers. They'd get offended. It's funny.”

“A fan once gave me an oil painting of myself. I couldn't believe he had taken that much effort and time to do that. It was very cool.”

“Me and Johnny Thunders had the same birthday. We would always celebrate in a club called Max's Kansas City. We were very close friends at Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, where we all hung out.”

“I loved 'Pleasant Dreams.'”
