Tommy, o últimos dos Ramones, nasceu há 72 anos

   
Tommy Ramone, nome artístico de Tom Erdélyi, depois anglinizado para Thomas Erdelyi (Budapeste, 29 de janeiro de 1949 - Nova Iorque, 11 de julho de 2014) foi um produtor e baterista. Foi o último integrante original da banda Ramones a morrer. Ele era portador de estrabismo de médio grau.

Tudo começou a 30 de janeiro de 1974. No estúdio dele, apareceu um trio (futuramente os Ramones) com o Dee Dee cantando, Joey na bateria, e Johnny na guitarra. Eram uma banda horrível, mas com um ótimo gosto, segundo Tommy Ramone. O mesmo sugeriu que Joey ficava bem entre Johnny e Dee Dee, a partir de então, fizeram testes para bateristas. Após dezenas de testes, Tommy adaptou-se a um estilo de bateria inspirado nos Beatles e assumiu o cargo.

Tommy Ramone compôs importantes músicas dos Ramones, como I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend e Blitzkrieg Bop.

Em 8 de outubro de 2004 voltou a tocar com o pseudónimo Ramone no "Ramones Beat Down On Cancer"

Tommy Ramone foi integrante de uma banda de Country & Folk chamada Uncle Monk, que faz turnês americanas e europeias. Tommy tocava bandolim e concertina.

Faleceu a 11 de julho de 2014, aos 65 anos de idade, vítima de cancro do ducto colédoco.
