You replaced Tommy Ramone in 1978 and was asked to leave in 1983. You were with them during Rock n Roll High School. How was this?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You played in the movie too? Filming RnR High School was a blast, I am a big fan of producer Roger Corman who produced so many of my favorite B movies in the 1950s and 60s. Joe Dante was working on the movie too, he just came from the now classic Jaws rip off Piranhas which is a trash classic now. And yes, I am in there.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: You came back to The Ramones in 1987 replacing Clem Burke who only played 2 shows and stayed with the band till the end. Why did you accept to come back? Are you still in touch with CJ and Richie?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The band asked me back as it seems their sit in drummers didn\u00b4t work out. I got my act together while I was out of the band and was happy to get a 2nd chance with the people I loved, the originals, DeeDee, Joey and Johnny. And no, I am not in contact with CJ and Richie.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: Since 2005 you are hosting your own radio show on Sirius XM called Punk Rock Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg is a German word translated fast war or quick war. Why this name? Your band is called Blitzkrieg too?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The radio show is 100% punk rock as is my band. The word Blitzkrieg stands for the power and speed of the music.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: In 2011 you won the lifetime achievement award at The Grammys. This must have been a big honor?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it was a big honor. I was hanging out with Tommy, Clem\u2026.We got to meet Julie Andrews which was great too.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: I heard you collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger in 2009 to have your own clothing line with leather jackets, jeans and t-shirts, and your own beer line. Do you still have this? You also have your own line of pasta sauce called Marky Ramone&#8217;s Brooklyn&#8217;s Own Pasta Sauce?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>All those projects you mentioned were one-time limited-edition deals. I also had limited-edition high-end sunglasses fabricated in Italy, Ice cream and so on.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: You recently toured South America with your band. How did that go?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>South America has been great to me. I have been going there at least once a year since the Ramones broke up, sometimes I went down there three times a year. I played Lollapalooza, Rock in Rio etc. All the major festivals in South America, we did around 500+ shows in South America so far since 1997. We played with Guns n Roses, supported the Who\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KB: The world is coming out of a 2-year pandemic with several lock downs where all you could do was stay at home: How did you spend your time?
