John Lydon Beats Marky Ramone with Sock Full of Quarters!

The great Punk Rock War hit it’s peak early this morning! John Lydon allegedly snuck into Marky Ramone’s hotel room in the wee hours and beat the Ramone with a sock full of quarters. 

During a recent panel discussion on Punk, Lydon and Marky Ramone almost came to blows. Thus, reviving a rivalry that has lasted decades. 

After the drummer stated that the Ramones blazed a trail for punk in New York and took that to London, Lydon said that Marky was “not even an original Ramone.” “But I did the Blank Generation album with Richard Hell, and you took his image,” Ramone replied. “All you guys took Richard Hell’s image. That’s all you did.”

“And Sid Vicious was the star,” Ramone continued, prompting Lydon to smile and stick his tongue out. “That’s right, he was,” Lydon replied. “He was the star for arsehole fake idiots like you. Enjoy your drugs and fuckin’ have a happy death.”  Lydon looked at him and said, “Look at you, you look like a heavy-metal fucking reject. Your Father smelled of elderberries and your Mother was a Hamster! You are a stale Ham sandwich of a person.”

Well apparently the interaction did not sit well with Lydon, who simmered and planned his attack on Marky Ramone! Lydon found his opportunity when intel reports told him that Ramone was staying in his hotel. 

Agent Lydon

At Approximately 4AM, Lydon scaled the exterior of the Hotel to the 6th floor and pried open the window to Marky’s room. Lydon is skilled in espionage and has had extensive military training. Once inside Lydon unleashed ‘Filth and Fury’ upon Ramone as he lie in his bed. 

Lydon beat Ramone with a sock full of quarters for 3 full minutes. He then dropped the sock and quarters and leisurely strolled out of the room, took the elevator to the lobby and got into a waiting car. Marky Ramone was left bruised, battered and weeping, but vowed Revenge!
