Tommy Ramone, the original drummer for The Ramones, passed away at 62 on July 11. The announcement was made on The Ramones' official Facebook page. They included a quote by Tommy, "It wasn't just music in The Ramones: it was an idea. It was bringing back a whole feel that was missing in rock music - it was a whole push outwards to say something new and different. Originally it was just an artistic type of thing; finally I felt it was something that was good enough for everybody."
