Restless Records to Release "Butchering The Beatles"

Features Over 50 of Rock's Most Notorious Stars

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 22, 2006 -- 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."

Is it me or does it look like they assembled these bands by picking names out of a hat?

This album looks like it's going to be a disaster.

a very similar squad with bob Kulick as producer (again), recorded Numbers from the Beast, a tribute album for Iron Maiden. They are all talented musicians, but songs lacked integrity, creativity and soul. I liked only two songs, Fear Of The Dark and Trooper. the rest was rıbbish (and I love Iron Maiden)

Brian Tichy's there too, even if he was only a touring member/replacement in Snakepit & VR.
