Taking readers on a wild rollercoaster ride from his crazy childhood in Berlin and Munich to his lonely methadone-soaked stay at a cheap hotel in Earl's Court and newfound peace on the straight and narrow, Dee Dee Ramone catapults readers into the raw world of sex, addiction, and two-minute songs. It isn't pretty. With the velocity of a Ramones song, Lobotomy rockets from nights at CBGB's to the breakup of the Ramones' happy family with an unrelenting backbeat of hate and squalor: his girlfriend ODs; drug buddy Johnny Thunders steals his ode to heroin, "Chinese Rock"; Sid Vicious shoots up using toilet water; and a pistol-wielding Phil Spector holds the band hostage in Beverly Hills. Hey! Ho! Let's go! Review: perfect. - perfect. Review: Slip into the shoes of Dee Dee Ramone - I liked the book for it was - an honest and straight from the horses mouth telling of how it was being Dee Dee Ramone. You get a great sense of who he is and how he works, he holds nothing back in regards to the things he's done in his life that he is not proud of. The book's got a ton of personality behind it and it reads as if Dee Dee is talking right to you directly. What I didn't like was that there were very few stories regarding THE RAMONES themselves. I know, then don't read a Dee Dee book, read a RAMONES tell all! But the book lost points for lacking more and by more - most of the book is just Dee Dee talking about running around for drugs and feeling bad for himself. I loved the honesty, just hungered for more. Still a needed read for a Ramones fan. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,959,796 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #413 in Punk Musician Biographies #682 in Punk Music (Books) #4,093 in Rock Band Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 71 Reviews | ## Images ![Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71squF1fp6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slip into the shoes of Dee Dee Ramone *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2011* I liked the book for it was - an honest and straight from the horses mouth telling of how it was being Dee Dee Ramone. You get a great sense of who he is and how he works, he holds nothing back in regards to the things he's done in his life that he is not proud of. The book's got a ton of personality behind it and it reads as if Dee Dee is talking right to you directly. What I didn't like was that there were very few stories regarding THE RAMONES themselves.

I loved the honesty, just hungered for more. Still a needed read for a Ramones fan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Irony, of Course, is What Makes This So Sad *by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2014* First of all, don't read this if you're looking for literature.Second, don't read this if you're looking for gossip about the band.Finally, do read this if you want insight into a very sad story about an enormous talent who suffered from completely unwarranted low self esteem, and the addictions he used as a coping mechanism. Dee Dee Ramone was the poet of a generation.The saddest part of this story, of course, is that Dee Dee did not survive the Ramones; he was dead 5 years after the first edition of this book was published. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting... *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014* I read and have read loads of "rockstar" biographies and auto-biographies and this is not among the best of them. BUT...being from NY, and from the same generation, I loved the punk references and felt like I was having a flashback. Like most junkies, Dee Dee is full of excuses and S, but his stories are interesting, If you want to know a bit of what that NY punk scene was like, this is a pretty good place to find out. But don't expect anything too literate. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/11462133-lobotomy-surviving-the-ramones](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/11462133-lobotomy-surviving-the-ramones) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
