Ramones

Musical Group

Formed in New York in 1974, the Ramones are one of the foundational punk rock groups. Core members included Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone and Tommy Ramone; later lineups featured Marky Ramone and C.J. Ramone. They toured and recorded from 1974 until their final concert in 1996 and are celebrated for short, fast songs, a distinctive aesthetic and huge influence on punk and rock.

First public show March 30, 1974; last show August 6, 1996. Reviews on DeBaser cite a total of 2,263 concerts. Iconic elements frequently noted in reviews: CBGB origins, live intensity (It’s Alive), slogan "Gabba Gabba Hey", collaborations/productions (Phil Spector on End Of The Century) and later-era highlights like Pet Sematary and Brain Drain.

DeBaser reviews celebrate the Ramones' role as punk pioneers, their brutal live energy and a handful of canonical albums. Reviewers highlight early classics (Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket To Russia), iconic live documents (It’s Alive) and later revitalizations (Brain Drain). The site's reviewers mix fandom, nostalgia and concert reportage across 35 pieces.
