This one is pretty good, but the best ones I’ve seen in a long time are by Bill McClintock on YouTube. One that is particularly delightful is his Slayer/ B-52’s mashup, “Slay-52’s Raining Lobsters”. The guy is a genius.

The translated comment made me think of Bad Brains Live at CBGB 1982. The mash ups are 80% Ramones and not enough Marley. Not that 100% Ramones are bad just that there is not enough reggae in the mix.

That is a fave of mine. His Danzig/Chic mashup is also sublime

Yeah, I agree. It’s certainly interesting, but I would have liked to have seen a little more of the original Reggae influence in the punk music. Now let’s see him take some Ramones tunes and make them Reggae.

Doesn’t do it for me.

Pretty sure I’ve heard some punk covers of Bob Marley that sounded pretty close to “Three Little Birds” at least. I think that Ramones song became a sort of generic set of punk chords to be applied to random covers.
