Ramone first joined the hard-rock band, Dust. However, he soon changed to Wayne County, and then to The Backstreet Boys. His fame was spreading fast, and with it, money was flowing too. In 1978, he joined the Ramones when he replaced Tommy Ramone, their original drummer. He was given a new name – Marky. However, Marky had to leave soon because of his drinking problem. But he was asked to join the band after just a year. He kept playing for them till 1996 when the band broke up.
In the role of Executive Producer, Marky has produced a DVD titled “Ramones Raw”. Reportedly, he is coming out with another DVD soon. It is going to be titled, “The Job That Ate My Brain – the Marky Ramone Story”. Marky Ramone’s wealth comes from a clothing line too that he launched with Tommy Hilfiger.
