HOMEPAGE OF THE ALBUM

All Good Cretins Go To Heaven - A Tribute To The Ramones contains 28 songs. This is compiled by Oliver Alexander (Germany), who's been in music business for a long time and been working with many famous bands. The release date was on 21 March, 2005.
This CD's artwork is a very nice digipack with great cartoon illustration (by A.J.B. Hangover) and a 12 page colour booklets which gives every single band space for a personal liner-note.
This is featuring version of SLUG I did with line-up I collected (Snails Of Finland). Snails Of Finland contains Apulanta’s drummer Sipe, Ne Luumäet's and Rehtorit's guitarist Heko, Luonteri Surf's bassist Martti and Tommi (ex-Rehtorit). I and Tommi are doing vocals. Here are also other interesting guests, like Treekillaz song is featuring Clawfinger singer.

This following is a quote from George DuBose, the photographer who was responsible for many Ramones promotional photos in 1990's, and several covers too:
"CD is so fuckin' great. Just like Tom Waits, The Ramones songs are often, well not better, but well better... when covered by another band. Hearing another artist's interpretation of the song brings a clearer view of what a classic the song was to begin with. These songs bring out the message in a clearer way only because it is the second version."
