Born John William Cummings, Ramone grew up surrounded by rock musicians in Queens, New York. Naturally, he showed interest in music at an early age. During high school, he even played in a band for a while. The band wasn\u2019t serious about music at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

But luck would have it, his future bandmate, Tommy Ramone played with him in the band. After Johnny finished school, he worked as a plumber for a couple of years. He met Dee Dee Ramone while delivering dry cleaning and the two struck a friendship quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once they realized they shared the same passion for music, they decided to go to a music store nearby. They started jamming and after some time, Johnny called his old band member Tommy to play with them. At the age of 26, Ramone started a band that would change the history of pop music.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
