6' 5" and a 1/2. Met him in '79 & '82 and in both cases I was taller than him in same style sneakers by an inch. Glenn said 6' 7" to benefit the 10" difference between he & Joey. Joey wears Converse, Glenn wears Portman's. sam says on 28/Feb/08
he's really really SUPER TALL like 6'8-6'9. Looks kind of petrifying too, lol

In their 50th ANN. edition( for October) in america, GQ profiled the ramones and said they were fronted by gangly, 6'3!!!! joey Ramone. It is on page 377-79. 6'3.....that makes everyone 3.5-4 in smaller now. Anthony says on 23/Sep/07
I have a friend with Marfans Syndrome. He had to have heart surgery becuase the speed of his growth put strain on his heart. He's 17 now and stands 6'8. He's about 150 pounds tops, too. Very sad condition. glenn says on 16/Aug/07
his mother was average.his brother was 6-1 or under.i posted it below i think. S.J says on 15/Aug/07
i read somewhere that he had Marfans Syndrome which could have made him tall
unless he has a tall family and its just geneticly
does anyone know how tall his family is??? croat says on 19/Jul/07
I think he's just a bit shorter than 6'7'', Krist Novoselic. Croat says on 18/Jul/07
He could very well be in between 6'6'' and 6'7''. I think he's over 6'6'', for sure, but not sure if it's 6'7''. Probably closer to 8 than to 6, perhaps in the middle. Alex says on 13/Jun/07
Looking at the height difference from Glenn who is 5'8'' right? He seems to be at his neck. It looks like he has a good 10 inces over Glenn so i guess 6'6'' - 6'8'' maybe more sam says on 15/May/07
More than likely, Joey is seated and the guy is leaning. Anonymous says on 14/May/07
This guy's got to be 6'10, he towers over Joey.
Click Here Viper says on 30/Apr/07
I just read a couple of 6-5 estimates for him in person. Kev says on 29/Apr/07
at the very least looks 6'6 but could get away with anything up to 6'8 or 9 because of his extremely slight build Anthony says on 26/Jan/07
Styxfan, maybe you don't know this, or at least it seems that way from your post, but Joey Ramone died about 4 years ago. Gonzalo says on 26/Jan/07
Syxfan, there are things I don`t understand about your comments. Why you talk about Michael Jordan, Hulk Hogan and Charlton Heston? Are there pic of them next to Ramone? Or you say that because you are comparing hte heights of these four tall guys? Styxfan says on 26/Jan/07
yeah before I knew Joey's an inch taller than Michael Jordan, since he was always slouching or doing things to make him look shorter so he could fit in the pictures, I used to guess he was 6'2". But now when I see him in other pictures, he definitely looks 6'7". If he still is 6'7" and even rake thin in 50s now, then that's pretty amazing compared to Charlton Heston and Hulk Hoagen! sam says on 25/Jan/07
Most pictures with the other Ramones are deceptive, because he often had bad posture and was made to lean on things or stand at a height disadvantage so as not to tower as much over them. You can see this on the cover to their first album. I think the rest of the Ramones ranged from 5'7" to 5'10". Styxfan says on 25/Jan/07
wow! He's huge! Johnny must be 6', Dee Dee 5'8" and their drummer 5'10"? S.J says on 29/Dec/06
Well it look like a Ramones Pic from in the 90s or 80s becuz joey had more long hair than in the 1970 pics but in 1970 he wore tennis shoes and in the later days he wore these big boots so that may put about 2 inches on him (is that CJ ramone cuz if it is that pic was takin around 1990s i think) Anonymous says on 8/Dec/06
Yeah, he does look like 6'8 (2.03), he's like 30 cm taller than Glenn, though maybe, since he has the shape of a palm tree, that makes him look taller, so 6'6 could well be right, plus, he's closer to the camera, and we don't know if the floor was flat, he's hiding half of his body behind a wall (or whatever it is), he could have been using big boots....From 6'6 to 6'8. Viper652 says on 30/Nov/06
How could they think he was 2 inches shorter with how skinny and tall he was in the first place? You would think they would overestimate. Glenn says on 30/Nov/06
I agree.he looked 6-7 in the flesh.but his brother said 6-5.5 and my friends said 6-5.I say there all wrong. Anonymous says on 29/Nov/06
I believe him to be 6'6, was he using boots in that picture? it would make him 6'7-6'8 perhaps lillo thomas says on 15/Nov/06
the 6'5 claims are ridiculous . he looks like a legit 6'7 Anthony says on 5/Aug/06
Yes, Joey was definitley a very larger than life presence on stage. Even if his weight added to the illusion of him being so tall, I'd still he was at least 6'7 even. Viper652 says on 4/Aug/06
That is exactly what I see Anthony. Also If you have seen old videoclips of the guy he looks 6-7. Anthony says on 3/Aug/06
I can't see Joey really being anything under 6'6.5, the lowest. I'm sure if Glenn was standing a little closer to him (you can tell he's standing behind Joey) and Joey were standing straight, he'd hit a minimum of 6'7. Danimal says on 3/Aug/06
I would believe 6'8". I see over a foot difference actually there. Glenn, you're at the bottom of his neck and the average head is 9". His brother could have stated his height when they were yonger, before he stopped growing. That man is no 6'5.5". My step bro is 6'5.5" and when I was 5'8", there was a difference in height, but not that extreme as you and him. Just my opinion. Glenn says on 3/Aug/06
I always saw 6-7.my friends would argue he was 6-5. Viper652 says on 3/Aug/06
Ive always read 6-7 for him too. He looks bare minimum 6-6 1/2 in the picture but he is slouching. Standing up straight would be over 6-7 it looks like. Glenn says on 3/Aug/06
Im with you Viper,but why would his brother say that? he could be wrong. Anthony says on 2/Aug/06
Yeah, I'd find it quite strange for someone of Joey's height to wear footwear that would almost another 2 inches to your already towering physique. 6'7 seems right. Viper652 says on 2/Aug/06
6-5 1/2 is hard to beleive. Maybe he wore enhanced footware? You wouldnt think so for a guy that tall to begin with. Glenn says on 1/Aug/06
His brother told me 6-5.5.I agree he looked 6-7. Anonymous says on 1/Aug/06
According to his brother and Mother joey was 6'8" tall. he might look shorter because of poor posture. Also he had Lymphoma for the last 7 years of his life. Anthony says on 7/Jul/06
Sorry, Dan, Joey was that gaunt in real life. Maybe normally not that pale, but he was a very skinny man, and was in poor health for quite some time. I'm unsure of when the picture was taken, but I highly doubt it's a cutout. Glenn says on 5/Jul/06
Your right,its a cutout,just like the other 700 pics on the site. Dan says on 1/Jul/06
Well whatever the case, Joey Ramone was certainly one TALL larger than life rocker on stage, for whoever was priveledged to see the Ramones in concert back in the day, no KISSesque platform boots needed. He, Johnny and Dee Dee (RIP), have certainly been missed by many since their final show in 96. I also think its a cutout of Joey in the picture, aside from looking completely aloof to everything around him, he looks awfully gaunt to be a real person. However by most accounts he was quit sickly the last few years of his life, which he was, very sad...:-( Anthony says on 31/May/06
Ramone to me looks a solid 6'7 in that pic. For some reason, even though his brother said so, he looks more than 6'5 1/2. I saw the picture of Glenn with 6'5 Tim Robbins. In that pic, Robbins did not quite have a full head on him (Glenn still was up to his chin), meaning there would be little to no ddifference if the difference was half an inch). In that pic, he is slouching, so he might look a little shorter. If he stood up, I'm sure he'd look a full 6'7. Also, being that he was quite thin, he could possibly pass for a little taller. Ramone77 says on 30/May/06
It is noted in Most places that Joey was 6-5 or 6-6, so if his Brother says he was 6-5and a half, it speaks for itself. LC says on 26/May/06
I'm 6-4 and when I met him in 1979 he was about 2 inches taller than me, both of us in tennis shoes. He had poor posture so it was hard to tell, but 6-5.5 or 6-6 sounds correct. Viper652 says on 22/May/06
looks 6-6 1/2 in the picture to me. Glenn says on 21/May/06
6-7 in boots.though there is a 10% chance his brother was wrong. Jason says on 21/May/06
I thought he looked tall for even 6'6'', but if his brother said 6'5 1/2'' then 6'5 1/2'' it must have been. Glenn got the scoop, Rob. Glenn says on 21/May/06
I always thought 6-6,6-7.my friends say 6-4.coincedently,I ran into his brother friday night at the annual RAMONES tribute party and had turn the grill.his brother,who is 6-2.5,said Joey was 6-5.5.there you have it folks. J-Dog says on 20/May/06
I told you I wasn't having a Dream Joey Ramone looks right at 6'7" Look at that sheer height difference, you can see Joey has at least two inches on the photos that Glenn has taken with guys in the 6'4"-6'5" range like Tim Robbins, Steven Seagal and the list goes on. Looks 200cm Anthony says on 19/May/06
Wow! Ramone is certainly taller than I thought he was. He looks spot on 6'7 in that pic, if not that a solid 6'6 1/4 - 3/4. Mikex says on 25/Mar/06
He looked extremely tall in that pic, plus he is the palest man I've ever seen outside of vampire movies. Gonzalo says on 10/Mar/06
He looks huge in this picture, on the verge of 6-7. And he is slouching a bit. Just compare this picture with others with Glenn and 6-4ers, such as Robbins, Goldblum o Selleck. Joey looks far taller. The only one who looks bigger than Joey is Chris Novoselic of Nirvana.
I saw the Ramones back in 93 supporting U2. Pretty good concert Glenn says on 4/Mar/06
yeah I faked joey.and the other 250 photos up.DUH. CoolJ says on 8/Feb/06
Wiki has him at 6'6.. Glenn is standing somewhat behind the guy in the pic too. making him seem even larger.
[Editor Rob: yes, I agree the stance can make Ramone look a little taller] Glenn says on 7/Feb/06
he looked 6-6. Danimal says on 28/Jan/06
Jone, Joey wasn't an old guy? Why would he have lost 2 inches? Jone do you only see 10 inches between Glenn and Joey? You are the same guy who gives Arnold 6'4", so your credibility is shot anyways. Rocky says on 23/Jan/06
I thought it was a mannequin??? J-Dog says on 22/Jan/06
Looks like Joey Ramone should be knocked up to at least 6'7" if not hitting 6'8". Marc says on 22/Jan/06
Joey Ramone was a man of poor health: He was, for example, sterile, had lymphoma for a good protion of his life, and was known to be extremely thin, only enhancing his towering height of over 6'6".I am quite sure that he is about 6'7", and he usually wore Converse Sneakers. The other guy in the picture, who could be Marky Ramone, I estimate to be 6'1"( since he has about 5 inches on 5'8" Glenn). He comes up roughly under Joey's nose; therefore Joey is at least 6 inches taller. Danimal says on 22/Jan/06
I see over a foot there in height difference between Joey and Glenn. Glenn is WELL below Joey's chin. 6'7" MINIMUM, and probably closer to 6'8". |
