I'm usually down for a good tribute album, but not being a Michael Jackson fan, I'd really want to hear some samples of this before I plunked down any cash for this. It's gonna be either really cool or a complete train-wreck, not feeling any "middle ground" on this. Leaning towards train-wreck though.

Paul Di'Anno doing "Bad"?
This is pretty damn comical, it reads more like a fake advertisement from The Onion than an actual press release.

It can't possibly be any worse than his contributions to 1994's "METAL Christmas" album... can it? CAN IT??

I do enjoy Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean (not included) but I have absolutely no desire to hear 90% of this. I'm guessing Glover and Pinnick's versions won't suck completely.

Won't they revoke your Up The Irons Maiden Metal Union #666 membership if you skip this one?

I'd rather hear a Metal tribute to Weird Al Yankovic's Michael Jackson parodies. Come on, wouldn't you rather hear Paul Di'Anno belting out the lyrics to "Fat" instead of "Bad?"

Alien Ant Farm is such a great band. It's a shame leading off with that song as their debut major-label single fooled people into thinking they were some goofy band. =(

Not. People are just content with being ignorant and thinking that. =)
