Johnny Ramone Monument

A bronze statue of Johnny Ramone stands six feet tall at the entrance of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, clutching his Mosrite guitar with a stiff, down-stroke posture. His wife, Linda Ramone, commissioned the monument after his death in two thousand four. It sits directly above his grave, a final resting place for the guitarist of a band that rarely played songs longer than two minutes. The statue captures him in mid-performance, a permanent fixture for fans visiting the man who defined the punk sound.
