Marky Ramone
Keeping the beat for the Ramones for 15 years could tire anyone out. Which is why it’s surprising that Marky Ramone is not only still active, but active as hell. Post-Ramones, Marky recorded and supported a number of albums of new music as Marky Ramone & the Intruders, then Speedkings, rocked out on a nearly four-year tour with the Misfits, and compiled and produced a Ramones documentary (Raw). Unstoppable and unfatigable, Marky is now busier than ever. He’s still touring with a band, covering Ramones tunes, only now he’s also the host of a weekly punk radio show on Sirius, and is finishing a comprehensive book about the Ramones and his life in the punk scene. His excellent solo collection – Start of the Century – just came out on Fuel 2000, compiling both Intruders albums and a bonus disc of live Ramones covers. And this interview took place two days before the release of yet another project – Osaka Popstar – a punk supergroup featuring Jerry Only (Misfits), Dez Cadena (Black Flag), Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & the Voidoids) and of course, Marky.
