There has been a bit of a lineup change for the upcoming all-star Ramones jam spearheaded by Marky Ramone. They replaced one all-star and added a new one. James LoMenzo (former Megadeth/ Black Label Society) will take the slot of Billy Sheehan. Sheehan regrets that he must pull out due to unforeseen commitments in Europe and sends his apologies to all.
"I'm a real big fan of the Ramones and this was unexpected. Good luck on this amazing concert!"
Todd Morse hails from The Offspring and will be taking on guitar tactics and several Ramones songs. Billy Close is punk-bass extraordinaire and is a founding member of The Freeze (East Coast Punk Band) and also the punk rock band Klover (Mercury Records).
Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead) has confirmed to play along with Michael Graves (The Misfits), Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint), Marko DeSantis (Sugarcult), Andy Hilfiger (bassologist/Fashion Guru) and Marky Ramone himself for a full concert of The Ramones. You will hear the music that defined many generations and inspired many bands. Marky's set list is comprised of 31 historical Ramones songs such as Sedated, K.K.K., Psychotherapy, Blitzkreig Bop, Pinhead and more!
