Butchering The Beatles 2006-08-23 by El_Goodo | 29 Comments | NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 22, 2006 -- On October 24, 2006 Restless Records will release "Butchering The Beatles" -- featuring the BIGGEST, the BADDEST, the HEAVIEST all-star line-up ever assembled to honor what is arguably the greatest band ever -- THE BEATLES. All-in-all, over 50 internationally known recording artists bring their unique bone-crushing slant to these remarkable songs. Produced by Grammy award-winning producer/guitarist Bob Kulick and ace engineer Brett Chassen, "Butchering The Beatles" features 12 new, ass-kicking versions of The Beatles' chart-topping hits including "Hey Jude," "I Feel Fine," and "Day Tripper," plus the more esoteric "Hey Bulldog," barked out by the legendary Alice Cooper and "Tomorrow Never Knows," uniquely interpreted by the iconic Billy Idol, alongside classic concept songs like "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Magical Mystery Tour."
When asked by Guitar Player magazine what possessed him to go all metal on The Beatles, Bob Kulick stated that, "Beatles songs are the Holy Grail. They're the best rock songs ever written. These new recordings are totally faithful, yet completely different. Billy Gibbons singing 'Revolution' or (Motorhead bassist) Lemmy singing'Back In The USSR' are not exactly Paul McCartney or John Lennon. And of course, the guitar solo sections were lengthened to accommodate all the artists' solo styles."

"Back in the USSR" will be the best track on here. I'm calling it. Cause Lemmy is doing it.
| | |
This sounds terrible and great at the same time.
| | |
i may just get this,
| | |
This seems pretty interesting. Bill Idol singing Tomomorow Never Knows? wow.
| | |
this sounds cool. i'll probably get it.
| | |
whoa, thats crazy. a lotta familiar people. should be pretty sweet.
| | |
maybe im a bit boring but i kind of have a "just leave it alone" attitude when it comes to covering the beatles, but its cool heavy musicians appreciate them..
| | |
Ripper is doing Hey, Jude? Haha, I've got to hear that.
| | |
I'd listen to it.
| | |
I'm afraid to see what Yngwie Malmsteen does to Magical Mystery Tour...
| | |
The real question: will this be an upgrade from Beatallica?
| | |
C.C. DEVILLE
M/M/
| | |
Sounds pretty interesting, I am looking foward to this. It probably won't be any good though.
| | |
It won't be better than the Gray Album
| | |
The only one Im really interested in hearing is Hey Bulldog with Alice Cooper.
| | |
So many rather annoying singers. The Queensryche one should be intresting.
| | |
Yes. Yes. I might just have to listen to this. Hilarious is must be.
| | |
i just realized cc deville was going to play on this. i hate his guitar playing. he was a cool guy on the surreal life though.
| | |
Looks interesting indeed.
| | |
Looks more stupidely interesting than snakes on a plane.
Or kangaroo's in a sedan.
Or catepillars in a submarine.
Or Joey Ramone naked.....mmm, naked.....
| | |
what in God's name?
I'll wind up getting it. I think.. o_OThis Message Edited On 08.24.06
| | |
while this may be a bad idea, it's also a good idea at the same time.
| | |
interesting could be really bad or really entertaining.
| | |
Obviously a record company's knee-jerk reaction to Beatallica's cult success. I'll listen though. Sounds pretty nifty.

youzza
| | |
this sounds like a cool and different twist on the original recordings and coming from such a heavier genre it should be entertaing, maybe bad but probably good, i think im going to buy this
| | |
Somehow I don't think Winger was metal.
How in hell did Tony Levin get a part?! That's amazing.
| | |
Paraphrasing Bart Simpson " I never thought it could be possible but this will suck and blow at the same time!"
| | |
Lemmy is on it, so I guess i'll have to check it out.
