Beatallica

Tired of the time it takes to listen to both your old Beatles LPs and Metallica records? Before now, people had to play the music in two separate headphones and try to enjoy the resulting cacophony, often with headache-inducing results. But today, I offer you a chance to get both bands in one convenient serving size: Beatallica.

Featuring the talents of Jaymz Lennfield, Grg Hammetson, Kliff McBurtney, and Ringo Larz (it's funnier if you're aware of the real names), Beatallica has been rocking out since 2001 with a unique blend of heavy metal and classic rock. Their titles include such bizarre mashups as: The Thing That Should Not Let It Be ("Let It Be" & "The Thing That Should Not Be"), For Horsemen ("For No One" & "Four Horsemen"), Got To Get You Trapped Under Ice ("Got To Get You Into My Life" & "Trapped Under Ice"), and Hey Dude (just a metal cover of "Hey Jude" with some Metallica references thrown in).

As of July 2007, their first two albums, previously free on their site, became protected under their new label, "Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band" (heh heh). Not to worry, I still managed to find the CDs elsewhere online. Their first CD, A Garage Dayz Night, and their second, Beatallica. I'd recommend the songs "Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band", "For Horsemen", "Hey Dude", and "I Want To Choke Your Band". Enjoy.
