Hard to believe the originals, they're all gone. :bluesad: Title: Re: Tommy Ramone, Founding Member of Influential Punk Band, Dies at 62 Post by: The Burgomaster on July 31, 2014, 08:08:42 PM Wow. 3 of the 4 original Ramones died of some form of cancer. What are the odds of that? I saw them live 3 times, but all 3 shows were after Tommy left the band.
