This is a very hard to find RAMONES gym trunks, gym shorts, swim suit,. This has 2 pockets that are deep there is some stretch left in the elastic waistband. So some where in the size 34 This is how I got this pair of shorts. The band The Ramones where playing at the Eagles club on Wisconsin ave. in the eighties I had the Presidential seal shirt like everybody else and the shirt I wanted was sold out of my size so I went with the short, not like I'm going to try them on I'm drunk and the shows over & every body get out. I had a beer gut at the time and I've been drinking nightly for over ten years already) so medium should be fine, don't forget I was drinking! They where tight !! there's no chance I could wear them, so they sat in my dresser for years. I quit drinking over 15 years ago so no beer gut and the shorts fit OK so I wore them for awhile and then thought these are to cool to wear and should be treated with some respect so I put them in storage till now. I don't have a ticket stub from the show I was on the guest list so I always felt obligated to get a shirt if I got in for free some times you would get comp tickets from the local radio stations or the guest list I have over 700 ticket stubs from other shows but nothing for the Ramones just ABOUT dozen t-shirts and this pair of short. I wear size 34 Relaxed fit Wrangler Jeans and Dickies size 34 if that helps- Wide Ribbed Knit Waist with interior Drawstring

Original Band Members

The four original Ramones deserve full and complete credit for formulating the concept, sound, and fashion that had a tremendous impact on not only rock ‘n roll, but, the world in general. Together, the four former next door neighbors blazed a trail, from 1974 until 1978, by which time the RAMONES were fully established. Though the path had already been cut, these alternate musicians were brought in to help Johnny and Joey continue on, until they chose to retire in 1996:
Marky Ramone (Marc Bell) – drums (1978–1983, 1987–1996)
Marc, hired when Tommy left the band in 1978, was replaced by Richie Ramone in 1983 and rehired in August of 1987. He was the only substitute musician inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the original four members.
Richie Ramone (Richard Reinhardt) – drums, vocals (1983–1987)
Richard joined the band after the release of
Subterranean Jungle
and is the only Ramones drummer, other than Tommy, to be the sole composer and writer of Ramones songs – the classic “Somebody Put Something In My Drink” being among them.
C. J. Ramone (Christopher Joseph Ward) – bass guitar, vocals (1989–1996)
Christopher stepped into Dee Dee’s King-sized sneakers in 1989. His first show was September 30, 1989 and played with the band until they retired on August 6, 1996. He performed on three studio albums, and also contributed several original songs.
Elvis Ramone (Clem Burke) – drums (two gigs in 1987)
Elvis is better known as Clem Burke, the drummer for Blondie. He stood in with the Ramones for two shows in 1987 – August 28 in Rhode Island and August 29 in New Jersey.
