The Ramones At The Tropicana Motel 1977
This photo was taken during a real infancy period for Buzz Foto. We had been photographing Pop Culture for a couple of years already in 1976 when we were introduced to The Ramones. This photo session was done at the classic Tropicana Motel which was located on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. EVERYONE stayed and messed around at The Trop. Some idiot permitted the motel to be torn down and there is a Best Western sitting there today. It should have been declared a national landmark. It would have brought into the City Of West Hollywood more money than Graceland!

Buzzfoto Owns a Piece of Rock History
You might know them from a t-shirt worn by a hip 17 year-old walking down the street listening to an I-Pod and texting on a cell phone. We know them as one of the most influential American rock and punk bands of the 1970’s and since. The Ramones, now a trendy name to sport, were Kings of their time. They played 2,263 concerts, and toured for 22 years. The band broke up in 1996 and eight years after the break up, the band’s three founding members â€â€lead singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone, were dead. In the height of their innovative punk era, our photographer Brad Elterman took this classic foto of the group titled “The Ramones 1977.†The foto shows a time when the band was at its finest and when punk was in its infancy. The foto is beautiful and a true work of art and it is a rare thing indeed to capture such an important piece of history.
