VOIVOD machen gemeinsame Sache mit dem australischen Sänger, Komponisten und Produzenten JG Thirlwell aka Foetus, bei ihrem RAMONES Cover `Zero Zero UFO`, das heute erschienen ist. Veröffentlicht wird der Song auch als Teil von Marc Ursellis “Best Of Ramones Redux“, der selbst Produzent ist.
VOIVOD Drummer und RAMONES Fan Michel „Away“ Langevin schreibt:
„One of the proudest moments of my life was when Joey Ramone gave a shout-out to Voïvod on stage in Montreal in 1994. I’ve been a fan of the Ramones since their first LP, so you can imagine my excitement when Marc Urselli approached us to cover a song for this album. When he mentioned that collaborations were part of the concept, I immediately thought of JG Thirlwell, a good friend since the ’80s. While we could have recorded any of their songs, I’ve always dreamed of playing Zero Zero UFO. I was so excited about the opportunity that I might have played it a bit fast, making it challenging for Snake and Jim to fit every word in. Fortunately, Marc’s production really makes the track shine, and we’re thrilled with the final result. Enjoy!“
VOIVOD sind im kleinen Rahmen ihrer Mini Europatour im Juli auch wieder bei zwei Gigs in Deutschland zu sehen.

Lyrics:
It landed in a field in Idaho
Where it came from, I don’t know
It did not look like it came from Japan
And out of the dark walked a strange man
If you think it’s a pack of lies,
I saw it happen with my own eyes
A million miles from the milky way
A hundred years, a month and a day
Zero Zero UFO
Zero Zero UFO
When meteorites hit the neon lights
Spaceships travel at the speed of light
A million stars in the sky
I here the Queen’s on the alien’s side
If you think it’s a pack of lies,
I saw it happen with my own eyes
A million miles from the milky way
A hundred years, a month, and a day
Zero Zero UFO Zero Zero UFO
Zero Zero UFO Zero Zero UFO Hey
