Goddamn. Ellefson is a big nerd, but that list of artists he’s covering is really exciting for me. W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Motorhead, Judas Priest, and Dead Kennedys are like my 5 favorite bands ever. Bring it!
Shoulda guessed Holiday in cambodia
People never stray from the well known Kennedys songs.
Too Drunk
Cambodia
Police Truck
Kill the Poor
California Ubr alles.
NoMeansNO’s cover of Forward to Death is ABsolute genius. Same With Les Thugs Moon over marin from the Virus 100 CD. Seems like nobody can cover anything good from the Kennedys unless it was on Virus 100

That entire comp is brilliant!
Not a bad track in the whole set, and each interpretation is great because the artist/band puts their own spin on it and makes it uniquely theirs while still retaining the basic identity of the original. To me it’s really the template of what a tribute album should be like. I get so fucking bored when a punk/metal tribute album comes out and it’s just a bunch of fast loud punks or metal bands doing fast loud covers of fast loud originals and trying to be faster and louder. ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz. Next.
Yeah, Gunnars right, the whole CD is amazing. I really suggest you pick it up some how… maybe go on you tube and see if you can listen to it there. it’s really good
