come on hyman its not his real name

Indeed, Jeffry Hyman was Joey's birth name. Hyman is a somewhat common Jewish surname, as it's the Americanized version of Heiman. Air.dance 00:46, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

could i please ask what happened to the picture of joey ramone?- this article seems to be getting a lot smaller by day(or maybe its the missing picture that has made me believe so!)

also, in the imbd website, it says joey ramone is actually 6ft3in and not 6ft6in,despite famous belief!imbd isnt usually wrong on these things,or they shouldnt have written what his height was in the first place (the fact that they have written a different height to that famously given by amateur websites,shows they must have done good research,or have asked him personally)

Joey was indeed well over 6'3". And yes, what happened to the pix on this page?!Willerror 18:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Joey Ramone was 6'6" it says so in the Ramones Anthology Booklet

In the Book 'On the road with the Ramones' written by Monte Melnick(the Ramones tour manager) and Frank Meyer, Joey Ramone's family members (Charlotte Lesher and Mickey Leigh) confirmed that Joey was really 6' 8" but claimed to shorter because he was uncomfortable about being percieved as different. One resaon he was so tall and long limbed was because he had Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder.

Um, i read 'On the road with the Ramones" through and through, and never came over that particular thing. it says over and over that he was 6'6, and nothing was said about having "marfan sydnrome".his brother has long limbs and is tall, but maybe has a slower matabolism, which makes him look bigger. but i wouldnt say Joey had any disorder...

[edit] Discography

Since all Ramones releases feature Joey, shouldn't we refer people to the Ramones discography instead of duplicating it here? Nareek 12:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
