Synopsis

Product Description
In an unforgettable year that saw the Ramones suffer ultimate losses with the passing of Joey and Dee Dee, they also gained the highest respect and legendary status that they so much deserve as a true American original.

The new century turned out to be a handful of expected and unexpected events. First, the passing of Joey Ramone, then the Ramones receiving the lifetime achievement award from MTV, along with the band being inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Then my best friend Dee Dee Ramone passing away three weeks after the Rock & Roll ceremony...
To pick myself up out of this onslaught of good and bad, the Speedkings asked me if I would record the CD with them.
-Marky Ramone

It is in this tradition that Marky Ramone continues on with The Speedkings releasing "Legends Bleed" on October 22, 2002. His best work since the Ramones, features the same balls to the wall style that made them the inspiration for countless followers. The disc includes 17 new studio tracks as well as 4 Ramones covers performed from their New Year's Eve concert live in Berlin, Germany.

Marky Ramone about the Speedkings:
I knew them as friends, I liked what I heard and had fun doing it. It s different and the song structures allow me to play differently than what I played with the Ramones - a fast, frantic and tight band. Enjoy your life..

More than I had expected

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I saw this CD at a store, and snatched it up as fast as I could, even though I hadn't heard any of the tracks before at all. The songs on the CD are all obviously (as you can tell by the track listing) more mature than The Ramones' stuff, and to be honest, had Marky's name not been on the front cover I probably never would have given the CD a chance. But hell, it's Marky! And to my surprise the songs aren't even all that bad, some of them are really great and the rest are good (but I've got to admit that this CD is better than just about every new "rock" band out there put together), and the four Ramones cover songs that come as a bonus are really good. Of course Marky delivers an awesome sound on the drums, and Nick Cooper's (the lead singer) voice doesn't have that damn whiney sound that a lot of other bands do! Halleluja! Overall if you hate most of the new music you've been hearing on the radio, and if you like the Ramones, you should get this album - you'll enjoy it."
