Production discography
He co-wrote the popular Ramones single Pet Sematary with Dee Dee Ramone. Rey did all of the guitar work for 9 of the 11 songs on Joey Ramone's 2002 solo album Don't Worry About Me. Rey also co-wrote the song 'Everglade' with Jennifer Finch of L7, which became the second-highest selling single in the band's history. Rey was also the guitarist for the band Manitoba's Wild Kingdom, which he formed in 1986 with Handsome Dick Manitoba and Andy Shernoff of The Dictators. Wild Kingdom released a version of "New York New York" on the 1988 soundtrack to Mondo New York, before Rey left the band and was replaced by Ross "The Boss" Friedman. He was also the guitarist/producer for Ronnie Spector since the mid 1990s. Among dozens of other production credits, Rey produced both albums that the reunited Misfits did with replacement vocalist Michale Graves. Rey recorded the theme song to Todd Solondz's cult comedy Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995), as well as a number of other tracks on the soundtrack. In the movie, Rey's recording of the theme song is the one that is heard while a young actor's character plays the song with his garage band. In the 2010s, he played with The Martinets.
