Beatles + Metallica = Beatallica

I forbid myself to do this. It seems that my hands have minds of their own. Waaah! This should be stopped. I should be finishing my Statistical Data Report. But still I will. :)

This was inspired by ATE DINS' BEATALLICA entry. If you haven't seen it yet, then go go go!

Beatallica is actually a band. They make, or recreate Beatles' songs with the Metallica sound but, of course, with The Beatles' music.

"The Milwaukee band Beatallica simultaneously pays tribute to both groups, mashing up the Fab Four's cerebral melodies and Metallica's monstrous thrash riffs to create a fresh take on both."

"Beatallica singer-lyricist Jaymz Lennfield (woah) sees the band as "a kind of educational tool." He intertwines his own lyrics with the works of Lennon, McCartney, and Metallica's James Hetfield (what a combination you got there!), delivering them as they might have sounded if they'd been written by a hoarse young headbanger..."

HEY DUDE
Hey, dude-it'z true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Remembah! That metal iz in your heart
Then you can start to be a fretter
Hey, dude-don't be f***in' 'fraid
You were made to go be a shreader
The minute you let us under your skin
Then you'll begin to be a fretter

So crank your amp and deal the pain
Hey, dude-you're f***in' insane!
The riverz run red with blood of poseurs
And don't you know that he'z the fool
Who playz it cool
But needz for hiz beer to be much colder

Hey, dude-nevah turn it down!
You must pound her, I mean Kip Winger
New wave of British heavy metal iz in your heart
And you can start with Diamond Headerz

So let it out! Let it in!
Hey, dude, begin
Don't wait for the Eye of the Beholder
You'll never know when bellz toll for you
Hey, dude, you'll do
Just sling that flying-V 'cross your shoulder

Hey, dude-it'z true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Admit it! Beatallica'z under your skin!
So now begin to be a shreader

*notice the s-es have been replaced with z-s, just like James Hetfield changed his name to Jaymz

I recommend their site. Look at the fan art section while listening to their music. It'll make you smile, I swear. Pati yung "waahh" ni Jaymz sa dulo ng mga lines e kuhang kuha nga.

Nakakaloka ang bandang to. Pag pumunta kaya sila dito sa Pilipinas, babatuhin din sila ng kamatis tulad ng nangyari sa Beatles noon? O mag-a-ala-Slapshock-to-the-nth-unimaginable-level ang energy ng mga noypis?
