About this listen
Rolling Stone ranked the Ramones at #26 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". They received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Marky Ramone played a major part in this success - his "blitzkrieg" style of drumming drove the sound the Ramones pioneered. Now fans can get the inside story.
Having outlived his bandmates, Marky is the only person who can share the secrets and stories of the Ramones' improbable rise from obtuse beginnings to induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But it wasn't all good times and hit songs, and Marky doesn't shy away from discussing his own struggles.
From the cult film Rock 'n' Roll High School through "I Wanna Be Sedated" through his own struggle with alcoholism, Marky Ramone sets the record straight, painting an unflinching picture of the dysfunction behind the band that changed a generation.
Punk Rock Blitzkrieg is both a cultural history of punk and a stirring story that millions of fans have been waiting for.

Great Book....
I really enjoyed this book. I don't know why they didn't have Marky narrate the book himself as he definitely would have been up to the task.

The stories were worth the listen !
I loved the book . Seriously such a cool life . Very interesting character . I’ve met him he puts it on in this book a bit more then how he actually is in real life but maybe I caught him on a bad day 🤷🏼♂️. Also narrator might have been the dude from the wonder years he grew on me by the end if you like the ramones you will like this book .

Incredible life lived
I didn’t know all of his backstory before the Ramones and was so interested in the different bands he played in including Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Wayne County and Dust. I appreciate that he came through the experience thankful and positive rather than bitter and worn down.
