Queen is a great band... No debate... For some reason, I just never got into them (back in the day, a lot of people used to say that you couldn't be a fan of both Aerosmith and Queen - Not sure how this started, but I apparently bought into it)... In tribute to the amazing influence they had on the world of rock...
Favorite 5 Queen covers
- We Will Rock You by Warrant
- Tie Your Mother Down by Lynch Mob
- Get Down Make Love by Nine Inch Nails
- Stone Cold Crazy by Metallica
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Dwight Yoakam
* Honorable mention goes to Elton John and Axl Rose for their live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Do You Remember Rock 'N Roll Radio honorable mention: Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, The Return of Jackie and Judy, Howling at the Moon, Outsider My favorite band as well, not easy to pick just 5, but here goes: 1. Chinese Rock 2. Carbona Not Glue 3. Commando 4. Danger Zone 5. Wart Hog (Had to pick a Dee Dee song) Vegas, I was able to meet the Ramones in 1995, courtesy of a backstage pass my friend stole for me. Had an awesome time comparing tats with C.J. and listening to Joey's mom tell me how difficult of a time she had delivering him! Still upsets me that my heroes are now gone, but heaven truly did inherit one hell of a band! Here's hoping that Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy are arguing in between songs as we speak! |

Lucifer, That is really cool! I never met any of the original members but I have met Richie Ramone a couple of times at wrestling shows (at PWG I sat a couple of seats away from him in the front row at DDT4 2013- El Generico's final PWG appearance- I did not recognize hi and first and I asked him to watch my seat while I went to the bar lol.) Also, a couple of years ago I met Marky Ramone at a book signing for his book Punk Rock Blitzkrieg: My Life as a Ramone. |
