Marc Bell (a.k.a Marky Ramone) is best known for the 15 years he spent
drumming for the legendary Ramones. Prior to joining the Ramones, Marc
played with an array of influential musicians dating back to his high school
years when he was a member of the Brooklyn based hard rock band, Dust.
Recording two albums with friends, Richie Wise (guitar and vocals) and Kenny
Aaronson (bass) for Neil Bogart’s Karma Sutra/Buddha label
As Dust was disbanding, Marc began hanging out at Max’s Kansas City, where
he met Max’s house D.J. Wayne County. He joined forces with Wayne to form
Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys. Wayne’s outrageous stage performance
and cross-dressing attracted many and help solidify a cult following. After
a year and a half of playing in the New York area and not able to generate
record company interest, they decided it was best to move on.
In 1976, Marc was introduced to Richard Hell. Along with Bob Quine and Ivan
Julian they formed Richard Hell & the Voidoids. The Voidoids released their
groundbreaking debut album in 1977 on Sire Records, entitled “Blank
Generation”. Shortly after the Voidoids historic U.K. tour with The Clash,
Marc found himself at the bar at CBGB with Dee Dee Ramone. Dee Dee asked
Marc if he would be interested in joining The Ramones.
The spring of 1978, Marc Bell became Marky Ramone. In a matter of weeks
Marky was in the studio recording his first album with The Ramones entitled,
“Road to Ruin”, which features one of the biggest Ramones songs “I Wanna Be
Sedated”. The following year the Ramones filmed the cult classic “Rock 'n'
Roll High School”. Later that year, they joined forces with producer legend,
Phil Spector to record “End Of The Century”.
After several tours and a two more studio albums, Marky was asked to leave
the band 1983, only to rejoin his band mates in 1987. His tenure with the
Ramones spanned a total of 15 years and more than 15 releases, including
songwriting credits on both Mondo Bizarro and Adios Amigos, the bands
farewell release.
In 2000, Marky reunited with long time friend Joey Ramone for Joey’s solo
effort “Don't Worry About Me”. In 2001 the Ramones were inducted into the
Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame. The DVD release, “Raw”, a compilation of mostly
home videos filmed predominantly by Marky was release in 2004 and entered
the Billboard video chart at number 5. Certified gold in three countries and
currently the best selling Ramones DVD release to date.
Marky shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to tour the world as
Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg. Along with Hilfiger Denim and Rock Scene, Marky
will be launching his first worldwide clothing line (in stores 2008-2009).
In addition, a documentary covering his entire career and life, titled,
“The Job That Ate My Brian” will be release in 2009. He is currently in his
fourth year as a D.J. on Sirius Satellite Radio, hosting, 'Marky Ramone's
Punk Rock Blitzkrieg".

On Teenage Head with Marky Ramone (Sonic Unyon), Canadian punks Teenage Head recut their best turn-of-the-Eighties songs with guest drummer Marky Ramone. It’s great fun if you know the original wax — “Let’s Shake,” “Picture My Face” and “You’re Tearin’ Me Apart” are among my top fuzz-pop singles of all time.
