“We wanted to save rock and roll. We weren’t against anybody....I thought the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and the Clash were all going to become the major groups, like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and it would be a better world.” - Johnny Ramone in his autobiography Commando.

“In the studio, they stuck me in a little room to play by myself with headphones. I thought it was strange, but what did I know? [...] Tommy knew more about what we should do in the studio.” - Johnny Ramone on recording the first @RamonesOfficial album, from his autobiography Commando.

“Tommy, Dee Dee, and I would go out to the clubs, which is really how the band got started. We were all friends. We had the same musical tastes, and we liked to get dressed up. Those were in the glitter days.” Johnny Ramone in his autobiography COMMANDO.
