After the posing and posturing of my Life in Tokyo, here's a real balls out thrash from the Ramones.
I just finished recording this 5 minutes ago, the whole thing took about 90 minutes from when I started programming the drums to finishing the Master. Even quicker than my Ziggy Stardust, which was about 2 hours.
I taught myself to play using the It's Alive double album, back in the late 70's. It's great to do a cover of one of the songs from it.
I have it on good authority that Havana is a City...

OH HELL YEAH!! :) :) :)
This is one of the best Ramones covers I've ever heard - you've caught and delivered their essence. Top notch, man!

Thanks all. Sometimes you get one of those sessions where everything just goes right. I'm really happy with the result

Tommy RIP bump.
The remastered version above was done not long after the first version, not sure why I never posted it.

Good to hear this one again. I really like the fuller overall sound on this remastered version - it jumps right out at you.
Great cover, both versions!

I'm back for another listen, as I didn't get to listen to both versions last time. Both are great but I favour the raw energy of the first version I think, it has more of a DIY punk feel to it, which is very cool. Love the Dee Dee style count in, wish we had thought to do that as well!
