Ramones: An American Band by Jim Bessman Soft cover, 202 pages. ISBN 0-312-09369-1 This is the best book on the Ramones that I have seen. Published in 1993 by St. Martins Press, it vividly documents the history of the Ramones. It includes many rare pictures and a listing of all their performances. Any true Ramones fan absolutely must have this book. You should be able to order it from your local bookstore, or you can purchase it from Amazon.com and they will ship it to you.
This book, published in 1997 by Firefly Publishing, is a detailed account of Dee Dee Ramone's life, from his childhood in Germany to his struggle with heroin and his departure from the Ramones. It contains many rarely seen photographs. Available from any bookstore, or you can order via the internet from Amazon.com.

Ramones Lyrics and Chords Ever wonder what Joey is singing in "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg"? I did, until I visited The Complete Ramones Guitar Tab Compilation. It has lyrics (not all of them correct, however) to almost every song they ever recorded, and the guitar chords that go with them. |
