"I Don't Care" (Ramones, 1976)
|
|
The first song I learned to play, "I Don't Care" was a big part of every Wijambu set. This version is from Down By the Riverside (2000). It was recorded through two Shure SM-57s set up to capture the entire band playing live, so the mix is not great. (That's Armand on solo and fills.)

Here's the version from my Ramones tribute CD, Gabba Gabba Hey (2012). (I record my solo stuff as Agog.) I play this one straight.

"Sheena Is a Punk Rocker"(Rocket to Russia, 1977)

Here's my Agog version done with a Carribean feel.

I played this straight because it's so fun to play.
