Musical career

Bell started playing drums in 1971 with a hard rock band, Dust, which included Kenny Aaronson on bass and Richie Wise on guitar, and was produced by Kenny Kerner. Bell recorded two albums with the band, before getting into the punk scene. In late 1972, following the death of New York Dolls original drummer Billy Murcia, Bell auditioned as a replacement and was the only seriously considered alternative to the eventually chosen candidate, Jerry Nolan. In 1973, Marky joined Estus and recorded an album named the same. Produced by the first Rolling Stones producer Andrew Loog Oldham. Bandmates for Estus included Harry Rumpf and Tom and John Nicholas. In the mid-1970s, Bell joined Richard Hell and the Voidoids. He played on the Voidoid's first album, Blank Generation. In May 1978, Tommy Ramone asked Bell if he would join the Ramones; he accepted and was renamed, Marky Ramone.
Marky Ramone was with the Ramones for the next five years. He starred in the movie Rock 'n' Roll High School and recorded the Ramones' anthem, "I Wanna be Sedated." He also worked with legendary producer Phil Spector. After recording five albums with Dee Dee, Joey, and Johnny Ramone, Marky was asked to leave the band in February 1983 because of a drinking problem. He returned clean and sober in August 1987, and played 1700 shows and recorded 10 studio albums with the band up until their retirement in August 1996.
In 1996, Marky Ramone joined Dee Dee Ramone to form the Ramainz, performing Ramones songs.
In 2000, Marky Ramone joined Joey to record Joey's solo album, entitled Don't Worry About Me. Joey Ramone told talk show host Joe Franklin that Marky was his favorite drummer along with Keith Moon.
In 1997 and 1999 Marky recorded two albums with his solo band Marky Ramone & the Intruders. In 2001, he was presented with a lifetime achievement award from MTV by U2 singer Bono. In September 2004, Ramone served as Executive Producer and released a Ramones DVD entitled Ramones: Raw on Image Entertainment, which featured footage of the band while on tour all over the world along with other various rare, vintage footage. Much of the candid footage is courtesy of Marky Ramone's personal video library. Ramones: Raw is the only certified Gold selling Ramones DVD and one of only two US gold selling releases in the Ramone entire catalog, the other being the greatest hits double LP Ramones Mania, released in 1988.
