Sometimes being a wanna-be amateur metal journalist has its perks... a promo copy of this baby was waiting in my mailbox when I got home from this weekend's camping trip. The album will be released on August 4th. I haven't given the new one a spin yet but I loved their previous album, SGT HETFIELD'S MOTORBREATH PUB BAND, so I'm sure I'll love this one too
Track listing: THE BATTERY OF JAMYZ AND YOKO
MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR
FUEL ON THE HILL
AND I'M EVIL
EVERYBODY'S GOT A TICKET TO RIDE (EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY LIGHTNING)
RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE
THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT LET IT BE
HERO OF THE DAY TRIPPER
GOT TO GET YOU TRAPPED UNDER ICE
I'LL JUST BLEED YOUR FACE
I WANT TO CHOKE YOUR BAND
TOMORROW NEVER COMES
You can hear a snippet of the first single, "Hero of the Day Tripper," at their record label site, here: http://www.oglio.com/webs/pages/artists/Beatallica.shtml

There is also a band called Dread Zeppelin that has been around for awhile.
It's an Elvis impersonator singing for a LZ cover band with reggae.

Gave this disc a spin in the car this morning, and in a nutshell, if you liked the last album (SGT HETFIELD'S MOTORBREATH PUB BAND) then you're gonna like this one just as much, if not more. Again, some of the songs are re-recorded versions of the "oldies" that used to be available on their web site as free downloads, but there are some new ones mixed in (my fave of these is "Fuel on the Hill," a mash up of Metallica's "Fuel" and the Beatles' "Fool on the Hill"). The title track is hilarious ("The masterful mystery tour is dying to make you obey..." hahaha) and you gotta love "The Thing That Should Not Let it Be" as well. A Danzig impersonator makes an appearance in the middle of "And I'm Evil?" that cracked me up so hard I damn near drove off the road.
The thing I really like about these guys is unlike some "joke" bands, they don't half-ass it... they obviously have deep knowledge and respect for both sides of the equation (Beatles and Metallica) and they can play like muthafuggas. Great stuff!

Beatallica's new video for "Hero of the Day Tripper"
You gotta give these guys credit for one thing, they're not afraid to look ridiculous.

Beatallica's MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR placed @ number 3 on my top 10 of 2009 ... and the band were so tickled by my Detritus column about it that they pimped it and thanked me by name at the top of their Facebook page today.
Yeah, I know, it's totally un-important, but it's a nice ego stroke for me anyway.

That's awesome Freddy. I haven't listened to these guys in a long time. I remember them from their first E.P, which one used to be able to download from their website. I always wanted to see them live, but never got to a show. They're quite the folk heroes in the Milwaukee area.

Coo'man. I had a feeling you'd dig'em, being all Metal and Beatle-ific at the same time. It's the best of both worlds for you.

Wow, I guess I'm a real "journalist" now, people. Beatallica have mentioned me by name and quoted me in their latest official press release (third paragraph). I'll try not to let my head get too big. Haha.
-Beatallica Support MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR With Tour Dates And New Single/Video For "Fuel On The Hill"
Everyone's favorite Metallica/Beatles bash-up, Beatallica, are continuing to support their latest "you have to hear it to believe it" release, MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR, with a set of east coast tour dates throughout April. Also hitting the airwaves is the group's latest single/video, "Fuel On The Hill" (directed by Mike VVeber and assisted by Tim "Murph Dawg" Murphy), which is the group's follow-up to their last clip, "Hero Of The Day Tripper." See the YouTube link for "Fuel On The Hill" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Z9ndZojUeaQ
Recorded and engineered by "Flemball Rasmartin," MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR is Beatallica's second full-length album overall, and features such exceptional song titles as "The Battery Of Jaymz And Yoko," "Everybody's Got A Ticket To Ride Except For Me And My Lightning," and "I Want To Choke Your Band," among countless other clever part- psychedelic/ part-headbanging masterpieces.
And the accolades continue to pile up for the band, including such raves from journalist Keith Abt ("I've been jammin' it (MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR) all day and I'm lovin' it! All you loyal Beatallibangers are in for a treat...") and Chris Dahlberg from Cosmos Gaming ("The instrumentals and vocals on (MASTERFUL MYSTERY TOUR) are certainly impressive") .

Cool. I dig these guys, just hope the "joke" isn't starting to wear a little thin. Know what I mean?

I'm wondering how long they can keep it going before they run out of Metallica and Beatles songs to combine. Haha.
Seriously though, these guys have always impressed the hell out of me, "joke" aside they are really good players.
I get the feeling if they ever put their minds to it, they could probably do a pretty bad-ass all original MeTaL album if they really wanted to, but they'd rather drink beer, dress up in funny costumes and play goofy songs. I can respect that.
