His birth name 71 years ago today was John William Cummings but he is better known by his stage name Johnny Ramone. He was the guitarist for and a founding member of The Ramones and remained a member throughout the band's entire career. He died from prostate cancer on September 15, 2004.
In 2003, Johnny appeared on Time's "10 Greatest Electric-Guitar Players". That same year, he was number 16 on the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list in Rolling Stone.
Would place him on that list?
Happy Birthday Johnny, we wish you were still with us.
