VELVET REVOLVER, DEFTONES, ALICE IN CHAINS Members Featured On BEATLES Compilation - Aug. 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 (MOTÖRHEAD frontman) 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."

Actually theyre all more suited for Helter Skelter but gotta pick something...but a softie like Hey Jude...just odd. But youve gotta include it I guess. 'Come Together' should have been on here too. Ditto 'I am the Walrus'.

I think these cd are meant to do things different fro the original, I bet that is why Tim is doing it, I think it is a great song for him, High notes at the end and the song builds through it, Pretty cool

Some of you fail to grasp that this band was the very beginnings of what you all adore - no matter who or what you listen to. Without the Beatles breaking the ground, music would be vastly different than what we have today, much less what transpired earlier to influence some of the artists you all listen to now. Not that I would expect many here to understand this concept.

Then why do I post, you ask? Because somebody needed to say it, so bash as you will but you all know I'm right in some way or another no matter what the backlash consists of.

The Beatles own all of us somehow. They were the masters, like their music or not.

Let It Be

Im glad somebody here actualy understands the evollution of music. (Or Rock & Roll, to be more specific)

All you punks that say the Beatles are an "Overrated boy band" have no clue what you are talking about.
Sure, thier early stuff sounded a bit more like "Pop", but thier best work came later in thier career. (Right around the time they got into drugs....)

Go listen to Abbey Road, Magical mystery tour, Sgt.Peppers, or the White Album.
If you cannot apreciate any of those masterpieces, then give up on music NOW! Because there is no hope for you... you'll never get it...

Come together
I me mine
I've got a feeling (kill guitar break)
Paperback writer (scorching riff)
Rain
Continuing story of bungalow bill
The end
Sgt peppers reprise

tony levin was the (incredible and moustached) bassist for 80s-90s king crimson. note how that was left out of his credentials.
