„but we usually just laugh at the Ramones covers”
To play a Ramones’ song is very easy, but nearly impossible.
Altogether 6 342 328 covers were born until 30.06.2014.
(Blitzkrieg Bop has 123 385 versions alone.)
99% is waste, but so much that if you play one on comb and tissue paper
you are in the 1%.
Metal covers: horror; punk/rock covers: concentrated boredom.
Such over skilled bands as Metallica and Nomeansno also failed unexpectedly.
We must realize, the necessary surplus isn’t in the songs, it was in the band.

Ramones covers on RNR666 Radio Show
„but we usually just laugh at the Ramones covers”
came the response when I asked Zsófi to send some tracks, and also thanks to Ironcopy.
During the editing Tommy Ramone has died, so we dedicate this to his remembrance.

MOVIE STAR JUNKIES started as an organ and drum duo in Torino in 2006.
They played Suicide-like music. The duo involved a quintet.
Since then their music has been showing influences of
the music of Birthday Party and Gun Club, and standing
under strong literary impressions.
Their first album was dedicated to Melville, the second one to William Blake.
Those were released on Voodoo Rhythm Records.
Their name was inspired by a John Waters’ photo.

Dead Elvis Is Everybody
Jeanette the RNR666’s official pin-up girl
has won the 1st prize of international
„Dead Elvis Is Everybody” contest
You have won this international contest. How do you feel now?
I’m really proud that as a member of RNR666 I have won this contest. Mr Dead Elvis is not too well known in Hungary, and when I uploaded the picture many people asked what this crazy stuff was. I sent Mr. Dead’s music to them, and some of them went crazy about it, and wanted to see live how to creep out of the grave and kick a dirty party. So, the Word is spreading…
How did you get acquainted with with the music of Dead Elvis? Have you met the deceased in person by any chance?
I’ve heard, seen and got to know him at a RNR 666 party, of course. Needless to say, I’m a huge fan ever since. They often say that it’s not necessarily good to know your favourite personally, but Mr Elvis is an animal off-stage, too, he’s got RNR in his heart & soul and it was nice to get know him a bit more closely and have a chat. He didn’t disappoint me.
What is your favourite Dead Elvis song?
Shot My Woman!!! Grrrrrrrrrhhhh
What do you plan to do with your prize?
I will wear my prize whenever I can. It will go well with my Dead Elvis T-shirt. All I need now is a pair of Dead Elvis panties, but I haven’t found them yet. Hahaha:))

Amazing heavy psychedelic space rock by White Hills. It has started in New York in the early 2000s, because Dave W. (guitar) was dissatisfied for previous bands and decided to start his own one. In the early recordings he played on every instrument alone, but then has found a fix mate, the bassist Ego Sensation. Dave W. was also discontented with the audience in the US, so they went to tour in Europe, where are roots of their Hawkwind, Pink Faires, PIL, NEU! and Amon Düül II influenced music. The first White Hills album on label released in 2005 by Julian Cope’s Fuck Off & Di Records in England. Since then they have been releasing their works continuously by various labels. And they are a really active band. Their second album (which was self-released on limited edition CD in 2007) will be re-released in August

The Second Best Rock and Roll Band of the World
The Natural Child is one of the best rock’n’roll bands recently. They started as a trio in Nashville, 2009. They are mixing garage rock, blues and punk elements in their music. During the years they have been influenced by the roots of rock and roll, so their blues burns with more power, their rock has a pretty heavy taste and they also add country elements to their music, while they just simply keep the élan of punk.
The Second Best Rock and Roll Band of the World
an interview with Seth (g/v)
Nashville is the capital of country music. How does it influence the average days there?
In Nashville everything is from the country, or from its profits. Many offices and bureaus use the Peace in the Valley (really very famous country song) for when they put you on hold on the phone. Country music also determined my life, because my grandfather was an excellent country guitarist. He played with Red Foley and Hank Williams. Lots of celebrated musicians took part in his famous all night long boozing and playing music in his home, like Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, one or twice Elvis Presley. My father could tell about these parties. I smoked weed for the first time on a morning after a party like this. I was nine or ten. My mother sent me over to grandpa for something. Everybody was sleeping, except Willie Nelson (multiple Grammy winner country legend) . He was sitting in the garden and offered me his cigarette. I asked him: what is this? He said „God’s gift to the suffering people.”
