Another typo, on punknews. Imagine that!

you mean joe Sirois?

raded6 (May 7, 2008)

He's been a busy boy recently.

Aubin (May 7, 2008)

The Youtube page just says "Joe from the Bosstones" so I made an (incorrect) assumption... it's fixed now... it certainly makes more sense for Sirois to be drumming since he's a drummer.

I blame violent video games.

MattRamone (May 7, 2008)

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

One of the worst songs ever.

MattRamone (May 7, 2008)

Agreed. It ws a good joke, but that song is pure hippy drivel.

I wrote something years ago that touches on why i think this is such a shit song: http://thekidsarealldead.blogspot.com/2006/08/touch-my-balls-and- ass-tribute-to-john.html

I like it. I'm not a Hives fanatic, but the lead guitar riff in the chorus reminds me of them. Good news.

signaldistress (May 7, 2008)

that's a rockin' song. i dig it. It's funny cause it kinda sounds like avoid one thing meets face to face meets limp meets nufan. And is that Gittleman playing the drums...wierd.

what sucks is this band is really good and i'll probably never get to see them play a smaller size show, this is a band that i'd love to see in a basement somewhere.

jeffrichey (May 7, 2008)

nope. gittleman is not playing drums, but that drummer is playing with the bosstones.

signaldistress (May 7, 2008)

crazy

MilkyJoe (May 7, 2008)

Wait... new album? When will this be out?

Mammoth (May 7, 2008)

Why did these guys ever change their name anyway? Did they get tired of the Michael Jackson jokes?

Xine (May 7, 2008)

Always great.
