I am re-releasing it in April with a Toten Hosen Rockaway Beach bonus track:
In May 2004 the Ramones song "I Wanna Live" for the planned Album "Raw Can Roll" and the Argentina Ramones Sampler "TODOS SOMOS RAMONES" are recorded. The sampler will include some tracks from ex-members and friends from The Ramones as DeeDee, Joey, CJ, Barbara Ramone. Stiv Bators, Johnny Thunders and a couple more. The cover will have 60 pages yer lot of the pictures are made by Lothar Felkel. Edd Stasium have made the digital mastering work. The sampler is out in Argentina since mid of January 2005
Here the lyrcis which are used for the booklet of the sampler about Generation N and "I Wanna Live": Dear kings and queens, what a damn ratfucking thing, to cover songs like a beerfest coverband (Hey what´s wrong with your fucking humpa humpa tätärä feeling?) But to honor those great inventors of 1-2-3-4 sound, we´ve gaved the folk always one or two Ramones songs as livebonus since n-years. I heard some time peoples talking what unhipp sound and style this is what we had represented. But now I woundering how much of them honor that old crap?!? To take out one song for a recording from so yer lot off good songs they´ve made was crazy havey for me. So I asked, DeeDee and Joey what they would telling me and they say in myself “I Wanna Live”. I used to hear that song often when I feelt me pissed off or sad. That’s a cool song for us ´couse in the band we used two guitars. As I sung the ironic lyrics into the studio I felt also sad about live, life and death. But it remembers me also which great sense of ironic homor and fun they had. Two times into the studio I tried to sing like Joey but this sounds like a man who lost his heard and soul would sing. Than the third time I sung the song as I am able to included my sad and ironical humor feeling and that was it. Oh, I forgot to telling you: PLAY IT LOUD!
(Song is taken from the album “n-Years / Raw Can Roll Generation” from Generation N)
