so now there is truly an all star punk band in the land of the dead

is Joe Strummer singing or is Joey Ramone?
Who is playing bass and who is playing drums?
will it be a dual guitar thing?

DeadDiscoDildo · 01.07.2009, 07:05 PM

Joey on lead, Joe on back ups of course!

RIP. hangin out with some friends last night and were talking about this, slapped on some stooges vinyl and got wasted

GeneticKiss · 01.07.2009, 08:27 PM

Naw, they would switch off between Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone on lead vocals.

Johnny on rhythm guitar, Ron on lead, Dee Dee on bass...hmm, drums...

I know! John Bonham!!!!

That actually might sound pretty cool...

I'd rather have keith moon than john bonham...that's just me though.
