A brutally honest, photo-packed memoir from the guitarist who helped invent punk rock.
Raised in Queens with a blue-collar edge, Johnny Ramone co-founded the Ramones and drove them with military precision--earning a reputation as the band's drill sergeant and its backbone.
In Commando, Johnny tells his story in his own words: from rebellious youth to global icon, from the birth of punk to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This photo-packed volume is more than a life story--it's a time capsule of punk history. Inside you'll find:
- Candid reflections on fame, discipline, and the Ramones' rise.
- Johnny's personal rankings of every Ramones album.
- Eccentric Top Ten lists--from favorite horror films to Elvis classics.
- Pages from his legendary "black books" filled with notes, anecdotes, and inspirations.
- Rare photos and memorabilia, many published for the first time.
Praised by fans as "honest, fast, and straight to the point," Commando feels like a conversation with Johnny himself--gritty, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
Whether you're a lifelong Ramones fan or discovering punk's roots, this is the ultimate insider's account of a band that changed music forever.
The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002--and two years later, Johnny died of cancer, having outlived two other founding members.
