So, a while ago… I stated in “print” on Facebook that I’d like to start a band that covered Misfits and Ramones songs… as well as some from the various related bands. If this were something that I actually had the time to do, these are the songs I’d want to play:

Ramones vs. Misfits
I’d obviously like to play guitar, probably like to sing some. Maybe it can be a project that plays once or twice a year around Halloween or something. Maybe it’ll never happen. I’m sure there are some glaring omissions in my list. What songs do you like? What would you add to the list? What would you skip? Would you come see this? Would you want to be in the band?
