Rock And Roll Confidential
This September, record buyers will be treated to We’re A Happy Family, a superstar tribute to The Ramones. The tribute, which is being co-produced by Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone and horror-rocker Rob Zombie will feature Ramones classics recorded by such acts as Garbage, KISS, U2 and Metallica.
“Originally, we were going to call the album “Rob Zombie Presents: The Most Ironic Album Ever!” but we didn’t think most fans would get it, so we stuck with the name we’ve got now.” Zombie elaborated “Sure, The Ramones were a seminal act who influenced countless millions of musicians and were not a huge selling band and not terribly wealthy but we thought an album of Ramones songs recorded by multimillionaires could really make us some more money. Especially now that Dee-Dee’s dead, too.”
“KISS were the last band to sign on to the project.” said Zombie “Well, actually, it’s Tommy Thayer as Ace, Eric Singer as Peter, Spiro Papadatos as Gene and the real Paul Stanley, so I guess it’s technically KISS.”
The bands participating plan to celebrate the album’s release by sucking the marrow out of the decayed bones of Joey Ramone.
