Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It was inevitable that a glut of Ramones tribute albums would follow the passing of Joey and Dee Dee Ramone. The 17-song-strong We're a Happy Family thankfully escapes the dubious tribute-album ghetto. It's no surprise that Ramones descendents such as Green Day, Rancid and the Offspring stick close to the tried and true, while headbanger James Hetfield makes "53rd & 3rd" sound like a Metallica song. But the standouts on the disc are the efforts where artists go off the rails. Pete Yorn turns in a yearning version of "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" while Tom Waits goes the ghoulish route on "The Return of Jackie and Judy". Kiss get the best-in-show nod for their anthemic "Do You Remember Rock N' Roll Radio", which is odd given that the Ramones were formed ostensibly as a reaction against arena rockers such as Kiss. Don't miss the final track, a scary gem by the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante. --Jaan Uhelszki

4.0 out of 5 stars Ramones - We're A Happy Family, 18 Feb 2003
Having been in the pipeline for well in excess of a year, the infamous all-star Ramones tribute album is here!! Produced by Rob Zombie and Johnny Ramone, this album collects some of the most powerful and influential bands on planet rock (Metallica, U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and has them batter out ramones tunes of their choice for our listening pleasure.

Standout tracks on the album are:
Eddie Vedder and Zeke - 'I Believe In Miracles' = Eddie Veder sounds almost unrecognisable fronting Zeke for this blistering cover, '... Miracles' has masses of energy and the choruses Eddie sings will stand hairs on the back of your neck

Rooney - 'Here Today, Gone Tommorrow' = A beautiful version of 'Here....' which sounds much more relaxed, in the context of the album, than most of the other tracks.

Kiss - 'Do You Remember Rock And Roll Radio?' = While not being a huge Kiss fan, this is a rousing cover which is bursting with energy and fun

Metallica - '53rd & 3rd' = Metallica pick up 53rd and 3rd, shove it into the metal factory, and it comes out a crunching, hulking behemoth of a song. Hetfield growls his way through, as only he knows how, taking your ears and commanding you listen.

These are by no means the only good tunes on this album (Zombie, Garbage, U2, The Pretenders and Pete Yorn all contribute great songs)

With such a wide berth of artists contributing, each with their own unique styles, we have an album with much more depth than would be a standard tribute album. This is definately a worthwhile purchase for ramones fans, for rock and roll fans, and for fans of good music.
