Twilo Beauty Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 He died of cancer, lymphonic or something like that. It's so eerie hearing about his death. You sorta expect legends like him to physically live forever. God Bless Your Soul Joey.-iliana------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roby Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 A true genius is lost .. sure, the band only played 3 chords and only wrote songs about sex and partying and high school life, but that was the whole point of The Ramones existence ... after years of 24 minute opuses from Pink Floyd and Yes, someone finally got pissed off enough to go back to the simple rock themes of the 1950s and early 60s. And there's no one who will disagree that the punk movement in the late 70s - and the post-punk revival in the early 90s - was bad for the history of rock. Now if we can only banish 1980s hair-band rock from our collective memories ....Godspeed, Joey ..... now let's get back to talking about DJs------------------AIM name: noserotoninleftCRACKHEADS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!

theorynyc Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Joey was one of those people whom whenever you were driving in your car or whatever and he'd come on you'd just start moving. The Ramones music always put a smile on somebody's face and always kept you happy. He was without a doubt a legend and will surely be missed.------------------"Anybody that says money is the root of all evil...doesn't fucking have it"AOL: TheorysNYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
