TO CJ
CJ Ramone had a band called Bad Chopper together with Mark Sheehan (RIP
2010) and Brian Costanza. The band was first called Warm Jets and with that
name they did release
She Says/ Diabla 7' single.
Bad Chopper released Real Bad Time 7' single by Finnish record
label Woimasointu Records on February 19, 2003. Read more of single

limited edition in red/blue/white splattered vinyl and rest in black
vinyl.
Bad Chopper finished recording their debut full length album in January
2007. Original USA version of it was released in CD format in December
2007 and in vinyl version in February, 2008 by Acme Records. Acme
Records was John Evicci's label. Album was re-issued by Mosrite

pressing of the album in August, 2008.
