the ramones do "street fighting man" - this i gotta hear - although i can almost hear it now and i think it sounds pretty good...but you never can tell
I thought RAM's take was ok ... the music was good tho the vocals got a bit "shouty" but it was cool, i mean, at least they played it
they ripped "the ghost of old tom joad" - that stuff moved -the genuine article (imo) - it almost made me lose my mind
with a hell hound on my trail
thanx for the tip voodoochile
"too tough to die" hey?! ha ha ha

No discernable Stones content? When you talk rawk, you always have some discernable Stones content! Hey SIA, I am AS WE SPEAK listening to the awesome brutality of the New Race - members of Radio Birdman touring with Stooges guitar player and MC5 drummer in the summer of, what was it, '82 or something? Whenever Birdman broke. Australian punk roars. Have you ever heard the Fun Things or X? Too much.
Street Fighting Man by the Ramones from the Too Tough to Die period! How wonderful! Thanks for the tip, Voodoo. I will order it today when I stock Stones remasters! Too Tough To Die is the Ramones' best post Road to Ruin LP! No Go! Wart Hog! Durango '95. Genius!
There's no law anymore! I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor!

As a side note:
"Oops I didn't mention the album. it's Too Tough Too Die "
Turns out these guys overestimated themselves slightly since at least two of them are now dead ahed of their time.
Never really listened to them and this pathetic cover won't make me change my mind ! Sounds like theb singer's chewing some cardboard or something ?! |

hey there nasty h my friend - do you mean the u.s. "X" or the aus. one - i saw the aus. version a couple of times... brutal and uncompromising with total chaos just a beat away
i saw new race in '82 not bad but nothing like seeing birdman three nights running back in '77 in a relatively small pub - i was never the same again after that first night - i still haven't, to this day, really shaken off the effect it had on me - for good or ill - and i'm not really sure i want to (again, for good or ill)...
cheers

I speak of the Australian X, who for Stones content purposes recorded a live version of Not Fade Away on their recently reissued live album that Morphius records just put out. I had never heard these guys until last year, when their Aspirations album finally became available on vinyl again. What an amazing band. They are completely brutal and have a real "we don't give a fahk" swagger about them that reminds me of our Stones. Cross pollinated with Gang of Four, natch. Am now completely enamored with them, as their At Home with X album just came out here again. Great, wild, and very ambitious record. Not in the same total rock and roll league with Aspirations, but very fine music nonetheless.
As far as seeing Birdman back in the day in a small pub, I know a number of folks over here who would give entire patches of flesh from their bodies to have done that. They were a very exciting live band, if you believe what you hear on the bootlegs. Studio recordings don't quite match up.
I've been selling a great double Australian rock and roll comp called Do the Pop to my rabid rock audiences over here. The first CD, especially, is something else.
Did you ever catch the Saints?

.....I used to go and see Radio Birdman every time they played in Morwell, which was quite often.....Great fucking band!........"book 'im Danno!" |

nasty, unfortunately, no i never caught the saints - "i'm stranded" (particularly the single) sure has it all doesn't it and it more than holds it own when seen in the same light as anything off "never mind the bollocks", "the ramones" or any other so-called seminal "punk" record don't you think? |

Stonedinaustralia, there was a 4 hour special last night on the birth of British Punk, did you catch it? |
|
|
| stonedinaustralia |

.....It was on that Optus channel ABC/FLY..Alot of it appeared to be Julien Temple stuff, along with various other directors; kind of a montage, d'ya know what I mean? |

On the topic of cover versions- are there any that stand out?....I quite like GNRS Sympathy. I've got that 'Jagger, Richard Song book CD, whatya think of it? |
|
|
| stonedinaustralia |
well that's a whole other topic which has been aired not a few times previously...there are tons of them - UNCUT magazine had an edition not so long ago with all these people doing stones covers e.g.
the ramones - out of tome
the mc5 - empty heart
johnny thunders - as tears go by!!
lambchop - backstreet girl
and a whole bunch of other's (and most of it not that good for mine) but the pick of the lot(imo) was the cowboy junkies "dead flowers" - slowed down to half the pace of the original, a nice touch of zydeco style accordian and slide/steelguitar - sad & sweet!! and i really like the sound of the singer's voice and being female she adds a nice change of perspective to the lyric
i liked the take they did of "sweet jane" too
