ROCK IN PEACE

When Joey died Jari-Pekka Laito-Ramone organised a book called "Heaven needed a lead singer"

After Dee Dee died, he had to do another one, its called "Rock in Peace" and it's a great read

Its got interviews with Tommy Ramone, Marky Ramone, Arturo Vega and Daniel Rey and many others such as Leonard Phillips of the Dickies and Howlin' Pelle from the Hives

Buy the book direct from Jari-Pekka here

Larry from AMP records http://www.amprecords.com/ had the good idea to record a tribute CD to go with the book where all the songs are about Joey or Dee Dee or the Ramones, so I got my band together "Shock and Awe" and wrote a tune for them and sent the rough demo off to Larry - luckily he liked it and I set about re-recording the vocals and mixing it to sound more professional

Unfortunately there was some mix up during the mastering of the CD and the rough demo version made it on to the album and it doesn't sound that great, especially when compared to other tracks on it such as Jesus H. Presley - Have You Seen Dee Dee Ramone - an instant classic

So here is the correctly mixed song for you to hear and download for free

Shock and Awe - Ain't No Friend Of Mine

Listen to me baby I can tell you this one time

If you don't like the Ramones then you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't no friend of mine

If you don't like the Ramones then you ain't no friend of mine

Listen to me baby I can tell you its no lie

If you didn't cry when Joey and Dee Dee died

You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't no friend of mine

If you didn't cry when Joey and Dee Dee died

Well, I know it's all over

I'll never see them again

But if I make it to heaven...

Who knows ? Maybe someday !

Listen to me baby I can tell you this one time

If you don't like the Ramones then you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't no friend of mine

If you don't like the Ramones then you ain't no friend

If you don't like the Ramones then you ain't no friend

If you don't like the Ramones then you ain't no friend

You ain't no friend of mine
