August 22: Press
release :
Restless Records to Release "Butchering The Beatles"
From:
Restless Records
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."
