Early life

Jeffrey Ross Hyman was born in Queens, New York City, on May 19, 1951, to a Jewish family. Charlotte (née Mandell) and Noel Hyman were his parents. He was born with a parasitic twin growing out of his back, which was incompletely established and surgically deleted. The family lived in Forest Hills, Queens, where Hyman and his future Ramones bandmates attended Forest Hills High School. Mickey Leigh, his brother, grew up with him. Hyman, who was mainly a happy person, was something of an outcast, diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia at 18 years old. Charlotte Lesher, his mother, divorced Noel Hyman, the first husband of her first marriage. She married twice before marrying a second time while on vacation, but was widowed after he died in a car crash.

Hyman, David Bowie, and the Stooges were among other bands, particularly oldies and Phil Spector-produced girl groups, who were devoted to the Beatles, the Who, David Bowie, and the Stooges. Keith Moon of the Who's his favorite. Hyman started playing drums at 13 years and enjoyed them throughout his teen years before deciding on an acoustic guitar at age 17.

Career

Hyman formed the glam punk band Sniper in 1972. Sniper, with the New York Dolls, Suicide, and Queen Elizabeth III, performed at the Mercer Arts Center in Max's Kansas City and the Coventry. Hyman appeared under the name Jeff Starship in Sniper. Hyman continued to play with Sniper until Alan Turner's retirement in early 1974.

Jeffrey Hyman co-founded the Ramones, a punk rock band formed in 1974 with John Cummings and Douglas Colvin. Colvin was already using the pseudonym "Dee Ramone" and others used "Ramone" as their surname; others were also using "Ramone": Colvin became Johnny Ramone and Hyman became Joey Ramone. The name "Ramone" comes from Paul McCartney: during 1960-61, the Beatles, then an unknown five-piece band, went to Scotland and almost forgot pseudonyms; and then again on the 1969 Steve Miller album Brave New World, where he appeared on one song using the word "Ramone": he briefly used the word "Paul Ramon"; and then again on the name "Paul Ramone."

Joey was initially a member of the band, but Dee Dee Ramone was the group's first vocalist. However, Ramones boss Thomas Erdely suggested that Dee Dee's vocal cords be unable to satisfy the demands of regular live performances.

Mickey Leigh:

Erdelyi took over on drums after a string of failed auditions in search of a new drummer, mistaking the name Tommy Ramone.

The Ramones were a major influence on the punk rock movement in the United States, but they had only modest commercial success. The compilation album Ramones Mania was Joey's only record with enough U.S. sales to be rated gold in Joey's lifetime. The band's value has grown over the years, and they are now represented in numerous surveys of all-time great rock music, including Rolling Stone's Top 100 Greatest Live Artists of All Time, and Mojo's 100 Greatest Live Artists of All Time. The Ramones were named second best rock and roll band ever in Spin in 2002, behind the Beatles.

Ramone and 49 other recording artists, including Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, Lou Reed, and Run DMC, all worked on the album "Sun City," which promised never to perform at the resort.
