Ready for some nitpicking? Here we go....
I spotted the photo above in a random search and let out a gasp. No, I'm not going to try to name the location (I'm sure someone can, though, can you?) No, I was intrigued in that it's a rare shot by one Chalkie Davies for a very specific reason. Here's how Getty describes it....
American punk group The Ramones in New York, April 1977, with graphic designer Arturo Vega, who designed the band's logo. Left to right: Arturo Vega (1947 - 2013), singer Joey Ramone (1951 - 2001, drummer Tommy Ramone, bassist Dee Dee Ramone (1951 - 2002) and guitarist Johnny Ramone (1948 - 2004).
Nice, right?
Only, there's one problem. That's not Arturo Vega on the far left. That's Marc Bell, shortly to be re-christend Marky Ramone.
Here is Arturo Vega in `77 (courtesy of the great Godlis)
And here, once again, is Marc Bell a.k.a. Marky Ramone
Get it right, Getty.
