Marky Ramone’s owned and stage-used jacket. Black leather jacket by Real Leather, New York–London, was used on stage between 1978–1983, features two US pins on the lapels, a single star pin to each shoulder, zip-up cuffs and a buckle at the waist. Jacket is signed on the back in gold ink “Marky Ramone.” In fine condition, with expected wear from stage use. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, dated August 8, 2001, from a Ramones’ auction at Officialramones.com, bearing the printed signature of Marky Ramone.
Instantly recognizable as 'mandatory' attire to legions of followers of the founding fathers of punk in the US, was the leather jacket; this iconic relic right off Marky Ramone's back! Worn by Marky (Marc Steven Bell) from the time he took over as the Ramones drummer in 1978 until 1983, his leather jacket was an integral part of both his onstage and offstage persona. Coming on to replace Tommy Ramone in Spring 1978, he was in the studio within a matter of weeks recording Road to Ruin, the album from which ‘I Wanna Be Sedated’ is featured. The following yea,r Marky was on board for the Ramones filmed cult classic, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School and the Phil Spector-produced album, End Of The Century. The newest Ramone was on quite a roll until he was asked to leave the band in 1983, as his alcohol abuse was becoming increasingly disruptive. Johnny Ramone demanded the jacket back, citing that soldiers in the service had to return their uniforms when they were dishonorably discharged, and this situation was no different. Cast away, Marky returned the jacket that had become his second skin for five years.
Reuniting with the group in 1987, Marky resumed his drumming duties until the band’s demise in 1996. With 1700 concert performances spanning 15 years, Marky is the only living member of the longest-running Ramones line-up which included Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone.
