Description

CJ Ramone is the artistic name of Christopher Joseph Ward, born October 8th 1965, known as the famous and latest Bass Player of the most legendary American punk rock band The Ramones. CJ joined the band in 1989 filling the most difficult shoes to be filled, Dee Dee Ramone's, one of the founders and main composer of the band. Since the band retired, he has played in The Ramainz, which was formed by Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone and Dee Dee's wife, Barbara Zampini. He also played with Axe Attack, Los Gusanos, and his last group effort was with Bad Chopper.


He then devoted himself to family life but in 2008 CJ proved his will to rock hard again by launching Bad Chopper's first CD. As lead singer and composer of all the songs, CJ put forth an album written during critical and dark moments of his personal life, in which CJ still makes room for visions of a better future. Comparisons to Ramones are inevitable, but not unique. CJ reveals his deepest personal influences: from classic bands like The Ramones, Stooges, Sex Pistols, Dead Boys and The Damned to more modern bands like Zeke, Speedealer, Fu Manchu and Queens of The Stone Age. The music is simple, but it glows by itself. It is still being acclaimed by the fans and the press as the best work ever recorded by any of the Ramones after the bands' breakup. Just listening to this CD once will be enough to understand the reasons why CJ saved the biggest punk rock institution ever: The Ramones.
