My Take
Johnny Ramone is, to me, the sound of pure defiance. As founding guitarist of the Ramones, his relentless downstroke attack stripped rock to its raw nerve and helped invent punk itself. Forget virtuosity; his genius was speed, conviction, and refusing to add a single note that did not need to be there. That buzzsaw wall of guitar changed everything, earning the band a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2002. He died in 2004, but the leather jacket, the wide stance, and that ferocious rhythm remain timeless. Put on a Ramones record and I still feel my pulse jump.
