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. 

“Feels like a conversation with Johnny.” —The Boston Globe

A must read for public executives
Format: Paperback
Concise, focused, and full of real-world point and counterpoints, I found this to be more of an essential piece of oratory combat equipment than a book. As a non-lawyer working in public service, this book provides excellent points on interpretation, form versus substance, and the importance of observation and evidence – all skills needed to protect the public interest. As someone who monitors contracts in the public sector, many of my peers could benefit from this book and better design contracts to the advantage of their public entity. Incidentally, I was also involved in a heated discussion about data interpretation the same week I was reading this book, and was able to calmly defend and dominate the discussion until my opponent acquiesced. More important than dominating your opponent is the theme throughout this book that one’s argument must be genuine, and the logic tight. Additionally, as Prof. Trachtman reminds readers that these skills, like a weapon, should only be used for good. A great read!
