Hard Rockers Out To Butcher The Beatles
October 13, 2006

While there have been many Beatles tribute records over the years, there has never been one quite like Butchering The Beatles. The album brings together over 50 musicians from the Hard Rock and Metal worlds to honor the Fab Four.

Discussing the album with Guitar Player magazine, producer/guitarist Bob Kulick said, "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 frontman] 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."

Butchering The Beatles arrives in stores on October 24 via Restless Records.
