Rolling Stone ranked the Ramones at #26 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". They received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Marky Ramone played a major part in this success - his "blitzkrieg" style of drumming drove the sound the Ramones pioneered. Now fans can get the inside story.
Having outlived his bandmates, Marky is the only person who can share the secrets and stories of the Ramones' improbable rise from obtuse beginnings to induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But it wasn't all good times and hit songs, and Marky doesn't shy away from discussing his own struggles.
From the cult film Rock 'n' Roll High School through "I Wanna Be Sedated" through his own struggle with alcoholism, Marky Ramone sets the record straight, painting an unflinching picture of the dysfunction behind the band that changed a generation.
Punk Rock Blitzkrieg is both a cultural history of punk and a stirring story that millions of fans have been waiting for.

Producers should have aided the Narrator with pronouncing a few words (like NYC's Houston street).

Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed Marky's book, I would have listened to it in one sitting if I didn't have to work....or have other distractions in life, one of the things I liked was being turned on to one of Marky's earlier bands called Dust.Great Rock and Roll Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Great book for any fan of the Ramones or of punk rock for that matter. a truly Rock-n-Roll saga of a band of brothers who fought their way to stardom but never really made it. The rest of the rock world was heavily influenced by the Ramones and this book explains how from Marky's perspective.Finally Some Truth

Plus, Marky pulls the curtain back on the Ramones, with a legit "behind the scenes" look into the inner machinations of the band that invented punk and spawned a rock + roll revolution.
A must-read for a Ramones fan or punk rock devotee!
A fun + entertaining read!
