![The band played CBGB often, and drew comparison to the Ramones.[10][3][6] On April 9, 1979, Shrapnel opened for the Ramones in the latter band's last ever concert at CBGB. The concert was a benefit to buy bulletproof vests for NYPD.[12] The concert was attended by Norman Mailer, who was a friend of McNeil. Shrapnel would soon play at parties at Mailer's Brooklyn home, including one that was attended by Kurt Vonnegut, Woody Allen, Glen Buxton and José Torres. The event was covered by Rolling Stone, with that magazine's Kurt Loder writing "It figures that author Norman Mailer would go for Shrapnel, a New York punk band whose act is derived from endless reruns of the old Combat! series."[2] Vonnegut apparently was particularly impressed; Loder reported that while many guests danced, the author "stood transfixed by the spectacle", and later complemented Rey on the song I lost my baby on the Siegfried Line, saying that it was a "damn good song, lots of feeling."[13](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6btcchupuhzfvmhtrwspetbb/bafkreic2jwm4zyxxl6e4mdapdeojj5u3bp2y5ech3hvchkajd5ciwgqule)
