WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY - A TRIBUTE TO THE RAMONES

[Secret Agent Vomit]

I bought this album today and I really like it. :)

But Marilyn Manson covers "The KKK Took My Baby Away" and he made it into a depressing, sad song. >:

That album proved that the only people that can play the Ramones the best is the Ramones.

[Black Flag]

What a profound statement.

[Paul138]

Umm... Thanks.

[Secret Agent Vomit]

Yeah, but I knew that before I bought the album.

I though it would be cool to see how other bands cover their songs, and to be honest, I thought the album was going to suck really hard and fast. But it surprised me. :)

Don't think I've stated this before, but people in my circle know the Ramones and here's a story on "KKK.":

Supposedly Johnny is IN the KKK(he is famously racist and nobody that knows him debates that,) hence "KKK" being his nickname. Johnny stole Joey's girl, hence the song title.

Now, there's a reason to not like the Ramones.

[Queefer Sutherland]

I have no problem with them as a band. Dee Dee was supposedly really cool, and Tommy/Marky as well. Joey was a stuck up prick from what I hear but was by no means racist. Not really my style but I gotta give props to many of their tunes/albums.
