Talk:Tommy Ramone

message: I edited out the "he isn't given as much credit as he deserves." I edited it to make it more neutral.
Shouldn't his original given name be Tamas or Tomasz or something consistent with Hungarian? elpincha 15:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm using Please Kill Me as a reference. People with other sources with conflicting stories should add that material.
According to both Joey and Dee Dee in Please Kill Me, it was Dee Dee's idea to have Joey be the singer.
Dee Dee also says there that "Monte Melnick did us a favor by sneaking us into a rehearsal space called Performance Studios"--indicating that the space was not created specifically for the Ramones.
If we have a source for Tommy being underrated, we should put that back in. Nareek 13:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This article says Tommy & Ed Stasium played guitar solos on several Ramones records. There is a citation to Mojo magazine. I'd recommend this info be copied over to the articles on each album----Design (talk) 12:15, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I believe the surname Erdelyi is the Hungarian name for Transylvania. Transylvania means the land on the other side of the forest. Erdely means the land of seven cities. They are different names for the same place.RichardBond (talk) 10:23, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

text: Thanks, that's quite interesting. But there are quite a few people with the surname Erdélyi, some of whom have wikipedia articles. In the same way there are many people with the surname London. But unless a surname is extremely rare, or unique, it's origin is not generally explained in the article for a particular person with that name. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:53, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Although "Tommy Ramone" is clearly the name he is best known by (and thus the proper title for the article, per WP rules), wouldn't it be more appropriate to refer to him in the article by the name he actually used (especially after leaving the band): Tommy Erdelyi.  Statements such as "Ramone and Claudia Tienan ... performed as a bluegrass-based folk duo" seem wrong, because he wasn't "Tommy Ramone" outside of the Ramones. -Jason A.
