Career

Reinhardt joined the Ramones in February 1983 before the unveiling of Subterranean Jungle, and he appeared in two music videos from the album, but not on the record itself. In his first months with the organization, he defied the Ramones' surname and instead performed under the stage name Richie Beau. However, Richie Ramone had changed to Richie Ramone by the time of his first recordings with the band. He appeared on the Ramones' compilation album Too Tough to Die, Animal Boy, and Halfway to Sanity, as well as the Ramones' Live DVD. "Somebody Put Something in My Drink," Ramones' first Ramones album to go gold, is included on the Ramones Mania album, as well as "I'm Not Jesus," "I Know Better Now," and "You Can't Say Anything Nice." Richie's songs "I'm Not Jesus" and "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" have been covered by new generations of bands around the world, particularly by metal bands Children of Bodom and Behemoth.

Richie was the only drummer on a Ramones album "You Can't Say Anything Nice" and Joey Ramone's unreleased 1985 demo "Elevator Operator," which also featured Joey's brother Mickey Leigh on guitar and Dave U. Both The Rattlers and a slew of Ramones demos will be included in the hall on bass. Richie: "Richie is very talented and he's very diverse," Joey said of him. . . He actually improved the band by singing backing tracks, singing lead, and performing Dee Dee's music. For the most part, it was still me singing." Richie appeared at over 500 shows around the world, including South America, where rabid Richie fans held up signs expressing "Richie" and "Drink" in Richie's book "Somebody Put Something in My Drink."

The Ramones' relationship was often difficult, as illustrated in Monte Melnick's book On the Road with the Ramones and Mickey Leigh's book, I Slept with Joey Ramone. Richie reveals that he had artistic differences with Johnny Ramone that grew in the recording studio, while Richie was remixing Halfway to Sanity at Joey Ramone's late night request. Johnny would also refuse to praise Richie on the album, and he would not be allowed to write more than two songs per album. Richie, on the other hand, had close friendships with composer/bassist Dee Ramone and Joey Ramone, who wrote, "[Richie] saved the band as far as I'm concerned." He's the best thing to ever happen to the Ramones. He brought the energy back to the band.

Richie left the band abruptly in August 1987 due to financial problems with Johnny Ramone. Richie said he had applied for a small part of the merchandise money based on his time with the band and their use of his name and image, but Johnny declined. Richie said he never felt entitled to a large share because he was not a founding member, but that it was more about being part of the band rather than a paid hand, and he expressed concern on tours when other members' checks were to be paid. Richie remained a fan with Dee Dee and worked on some of his solo albums after leaving the Ramones. He was briefly replaced by Clem Burke of Blondie and The Romantics' fame, who took the name Elvis Ramone. Marky Ramone, Elvis's predecessor, returned to the band and remained until the band split up in 1996. Richie was one of the only Ramones to attend Joey's funeral after Joey's passing in 2001. Richie would later regret that he did not have a chance to reconnect with Joey before his death due to their close friendship when in the band.

Richie filed a federal lawsuit titled Reinhardt v. Wal-mart Stores, Inc. et al. in September 2007. In New York's Southern District, you can find a number of restaurants. He argued that the copyright on the six tunes he wrote for the Ramones had been infringed on the band's recordings when the band's leadership permitted them to be sold as digital downloads. Wal-mart Stores, Inc., Apple, Inc., RealNetworks, Inc., Taco Tunes, Inc., Estate of John Cummings, Herzog & Strauss, and Ira Herzog, Inc. (i.e.) vs. the defendants were Wal-mart Stores, Inc., Inc., and three leading digital download providers.) Even though she admitted that there might be other unresolved questions between Richie Ramone and his former band, Judge Shira Scheindlin dismissed the case in May 2008 on the grounds that no copyright infringement had occurred. These problems were subsequently addressed, resulting in Richie Ramone's complete writing and publishing rights to the songs.

Richie is still active in music as a guitarist and keyboardist. He performed "Suite for Drums and Orchestra," a classical composition based on West Side Story "Suite for Drums and Orchestra" with the Pasadena Pops in August 2007. Richie Ramone was both the featured soloist and the concerto's co-composer, a feat no other punk rock drummer had achieved before. Pops music director Rachael Worby's commissioning of Richie "brought the audience to its feet" following his faster-than-human-eye-can-follow drumming. Richie has performed at Joey Leigh's annual "Joey Ramone Birthday Bash" every year, as well as songs with Tommy Ramone before his passing in 2014. The Ramones were given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Richie was invited by Leigh to speak at the awards ceremony, where Richie said it was the first time in history that all three Ramones drummers were present and mused that Joey would be proud of the Achievement Award. Richie will be the only living Ramone on the long-anticipated second Joey Ramone solo album...Ya Know?, which was released in 2012.

Richie Ramone, a 13-year-old musician, signed to DC-Jam Records and released Entitled, his first solo album. "Back to holding the songwriting reins, Ramone's 12 latest cuts will please fans of both rock and metal with its mix of barre chord-chugging simplicity and guitar hero virtuosity," Billboard announced on Friday. Richie's second solo album Cellophane debuted in 2016. Backbeat Books published I Know Better Now, Ritchie's autobiography, "I Know Better Now: My life Before, During, and After The Ramones." Peter Aaron wrote the book. Richie continues to tour with his solo band, as well as occasionally performing with former Ramones bassist C. J. Ramone.
