Tribute to Tommy Ramone - R.I.P. - "The Ramones"
The Bible (Wikipedia) reports the following facts:
Thomas Erdelyi (born Erdélyi Tamás; January 29, 1952 -- July 11, 2014), also known by his stage name Tommy Ramone, was a Hungarian American record producer and musician.[1][2] He was the drummer of the influential punk rock band the Ramones. He had been diagnosed with bile duct cancer and was in a hospice receiving treatment when he died on July 11, 2014.
Erdélyi was Jewish,[3] and was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1952,[4] to Jewish parents who had survived the Holocaust by being hidden by neighbors, though many of his relatives were victims of the Nazis.[5] He grew up in Forest Hills, New York. [6] Tommy and guitarist John Cummings (later to be dubbed "Johnny Ramone") performed together in a mid-60's four-piece garage band called the Tangerine Puppets while in high school.[7] In 1970, Erdelyi was an assistant engineer for the production of the Jimi Hendrix album Band of Gypsys.
When the Ramones first came together, with Johnny Ramone on guitar, Dee Dee Ramone on bass and Joey Ramone on drums, Erdelyi was supposed to be the manager, but was drafted as the band's drummer when Joey became the lead singer and found that he couldn't keep up with the Ramones' increasingly fast tempos. "Tommy Ramone, who was managing us, finally had to sit down behind the drums, because nobody else wanted to," Dee Dee later recalled.[8]

He remained as drummer from 1974 to 1978, playing on and co-producing their first three albums, Ramones, Leave Home, and Rocket to Russia, as well as the live album It's Alive.[9]
