The concept is pretty simple...take one half mega-sellout metal band Metallica and one half legendary God's of classic rock, The Beatles, put them in a blender on puree and voila! You have the new entity known as Beatallica. Formed by 4 devotees of both bands who lovingly go as the pseudonyms Jaymz Lennifield, Kirk Hammetson, Ringo Larz and Kliff McBurtney. Of course, this is a piece of brilliance layered with such hilarity that it is truly hard to convey in text alone. Yes, this is a band that must be heard.
The only thing better than the band members names are the song titles, "Fuel On The Hill", "Tomorrow Never Comes", "I Want To Choke Your Band", and my personal favorite title "Got To get You Trapped Under Ice". Even with the obvious humor in tow, one cannot escape the fact that this band is definitely talented as well as irreverent in their reverence to each band and the combination of songs and lyrical themes. Just for example let's look at the lyrics from album title song..."the masterful mystery tour is waiting to pull all your strings"...that is nothing short of brilliant.
As I said before, the music is so tight and complete in its structures that it is only complimented by the uncanny impersonation of Hetfield that Jaymz is able to convey in his vocals..even down to the several instances of the obligatory "YEAH YEAH" trademark of Metallica.
These guys only prove that by taking the Beatles and Metallica they can sell out and be bigger than Jesus....evey single copy of the album they will produce. (Didja see what I did there?)
