Marc Bell grew up in Queens, NYC, and had already made a name for himself playing for bands like Dust, but when he accepted the invitation from Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee, his ferocious rhythms were instrumental in pounding out a new, rough-edged era for rock and roll. From then on Marc became known as the infamous Marky Ramone, famed for his 'Blitzkrieg' style of drumming and his distinctive punk style.
