Danko Jones did a cover of this as well for a Canadian tribute album...he's been quoted as saying that he hadn't heard it at the time, but he's sure Tom's was better.
hey now... lets all calm down now. green day's written plenty of catchy songs that some of us look back on fondly.
and you can't compare green day to tom waits, i mean talk about two different worlds. green day coming from a pop top 40 world and tom comes from a world where talent is endless and nothing is off limits. i believe don van vliet is the prime minister there.
@k4f3rdrum I give you thumbs up for this response. Not because you made a valid point, but because it was written in like broken english and only made you out to be a fool. So bravo sir/madame!
For the record, I could give two shits about who Marky listened to. According to a recent Facebook ad Tom Waits likes Van Helan, that doesn't make them good. I like the Ramones, but they weren't the greatest band on the planet, save your worship for an artist who deserves the praise. Like Mr. Tom Waits.
@BulletForJoey First of all, not everyone is native-english-speaker, so you can't pretend in a global site everyone can write like in a encyclopedia.
second, When did I said Ramones were the greatest band on the planet? oh And I don't like Tom Waits, yeah, I respect him but I still think Ramones are better.
@k4f3rdrum Also about the broken english. It's hard to know who's a native speaker and who speaks english as a 2nd/3rd languages. Lots of dumbasses in the arpaweb.
@DubyaDubyaE people who hate green day piss me off AND I KNOW GREEN DAY ISN'T PUNK!!! maybe their old stuff is but don't hate Green Day becasue you think they´re WANNABE PUNKS, THEY HAVE EYELINER, uhhh They're GAY and other SHIT . American Idiot ISN´T PUNK BUT ITS A AMAZING RECORD.Green Day isn't about being PUNK. They're about making AWESOME MUSIC.
I Love the Ramones,Sex Pistols,the Clash but i LOVE GREEN DAY ALSO !!
And if u don't agree with it. It's your Fuckin Problem. BITHEZZ
This is one of my most favourite recordings of all time. Wild, earthy and absolutely pure rock and roll. It sends me to another place everytime I hear it. Amazing.
This is a pretty good cover, you need to listen to it threw and then listen to it again to enjoy it really... but really good, but not the best of the album, I prefered Rob zombie's cover of blitzkrieg bop, but I love this cover too.
Hey fellas this is supposed to be a tribute not a friggen mass takeover,He was just trying to repay them for their cover of his song...At least have the common decency to click "Dislike" if you don't like it...I mean more power to you if you don't and to those who do welcome to the club,because I for one like this!
this is off there were a happy family album. which is a bunch of bands covering the ramones. this is the only good cover on the cd. its so bad. i even saw one of the ramones marky i think say on tv that the record company made it to make money and that it was bad and not to buy it. yeah. its bad
@scattnasty , I really don't believe you heard any of the Ramones "down" the quality of this album... Full participation of all parties, complete control of the album in the hands of the members of the Ramones and the fact that they did this as a fund raiser for the NY Lymphoma Society. One of the last musical projects Johnny worked on before he died of Lymphoma in 2001 (album was released in 2002) Let's get our story strait!!
@ashkonnicholas Clearly, you have no Idea what punk is really about if you think bashing on things and hollaring is not punk. Go buy some Dead Kennedy's and school yourself

the bit when he sings, 'they both came up to new york just to see the ramones' gets me everytime, i get shivers. This is one of the best tracks ever laid down. Robert Johnson himself would think it was hellishly powerful. Listen to it on good headphones, as loud as you can stand.
