La rats i ve been everywhere

On Friday (May 21), the recently unveiled rock supergroup L.A. Rats made good on their promise to release a cover of the classic Geoff Mack country ditty "I've Been Everywhere," a song repopularized by Johnny Cash in the 1990s. The Rats' version makes it a hard-edged rock 'n' roll number.

L.A. Rats — Rob Zombie, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, John 5 and Tommy Clufetos (Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne) — announced their existence the day before, when its members simultaneously shared an image of the band's wordmark across social media. Their cover of "I've Been Everywhere" will appear on the soundtrack to Netflix's upcoming Liam Neeson vehicle, The Ice Road.

Listen to the song near the bottom of this post.

"We wanted to bring that fire that's Johnny Cash," Sixx explains in a quote shared by Blabbermouth. "But it's also, how do we flip it? So John 5 and I brought in this Zeppelin-y half-time thing from the beginning with Rob talking on the outro. But I also did some stuff that suggested the original like those big walks through the guitar parts upright player style, which is something I don't do in Motley or Sixx: A.M. We all had that freedom to go other places, and we did.

"Isn't it ironic?" the Motley Crue bassist continues. "This song that's so rock and roll, that's so country, that's so all of it — it's the traveling circus, city to city, riff to riff, greasy cheeseburger, rinse and repeat. It's poetry based on reality — and it's something every one of us has lived."

The Ice Road comes to Netflix on June 25. Joining L.A. Rats on the movie's official soundtrack, per ThePRP, are country music stars Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Jason Isbell and more.

Rob Zombie and Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx have teamed up in the new supergroup L.A. Rats to record a track for the upcoming Liam Neeson movie The Ice Road. The all-star band, which also features Zombie guitarist John 5 and Ozzy Osbourne drummer Tommy Clufetos, have covered the song “I’ve Been Everywhere” for the soundtrack to the Netflix film.

“I’ve Been Everywhere” was originally written  by Geoff Mack in 1959 and was made popular in 1962 by Australian singer Lucky Starr. A version by Hank Snow in 1962 became a No. 1 hit in the United States, and the song was also famously covered by Johnny Cash many years later in 1996.

L.A. Rats turn the country classic into a hard-rocking number, with Zombie’s signature vocals giving the song a sense of danger not heard in the original. Meanwhile, John 5 offers up some nifty guitar playing to go along with the driving rhythm section of Sixx and Clufetos.

The Ice Road, which premieres June 25th on Netflix, features Neeson doing what he does best: saving the day. As the official description reads, “To save a team of miners trapped underground, a down-on-his-luck ice road trucker joins a mission across treacherous terrain to deliver rescue equipment.”

The film’s accompanying soundtrack, due July 30th, also features tracks from country stars like Jason Isbell, Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw, and Carly Pearce, in addition to a collaboration between Johnny Cash’s son, John Carter Cash, and Cheap Trick singer Robin Zander.
