Ramones, on Subway, NYC, 1975 – Bob Gruen

Starting with Blitzkreig Bop, and spending the rest of the weekend wanting to be sedated. I think we’ve all been there, or at least know someone who has.

With their signature short three acord songs, Ramones are one of the pioneers of the punk rock sound. Formed in 1974, in Queens, NY, Ramones were mostly considered an underground band, but got their popularity increase after touring England in 1977. They went on to be one of the most influential punk rock bands ever playing over 2263 concerts over the span of 22 years.

The picture was taken by photographer Bob Gruen, who had the opportunity to accompany The Ramones at concerts and festivals and bring the fans closer to the band's backstage through his photographs.

This is a unique oportunity to get their print signed by Bob Gruen himself. We have only 30pcs so HEY HO, Let’S GO! The frame is not included.
