Combining the thunderous metal violation of Metallica with the unrivalled melodies of the Beatles, Beatallica ar a band of musical humorists from Milwaukee, WI, wHO have gained an outside audience for their guitar-fueled mash-up of two of the world's well-nigh popular groups. The Beatallica story begins in 2001, when isaac Merrit Singer and guitar player Michael Tierney was putting together the lineup for "Pasquinade Fest," an yearbook Milwaukee case in which local bikers play mini-sets satirizing well-known musical acts of the Apostles. With the help of gent guitar player Michael Brandenburg, Tierney worked up a few songs in which they took tunes by the Beatles, played them with the velocity and thrash-metal guitar sound of Metallica, and retooled the lyrics so they would quotation both acts at once (for representative, "For No One" became "For Horsemen" and "Tax collector" evolved into "Sandman"). The Beatles-Metallica unification went over heavy with the audience that night, and Tierney, Brandenburg, bassist Lee Bruso, and drummer Ryan Charles decided to re-create their mark in the studio. The little Joe recorded a seven-song EP called A Garage Dayz Nite and burned 50 CD copies, giving them away to friends and colleagues to avoid the legal complications that would uprise from selling the music; the members besides used pretended name calling for the stick out, with Tierney becoming Jaymz Lennfield, Brandenburg taking the name Krk Hammettson, Bruso identified as Kliff McBurtney, and Charles vocation himself Ringo Larz.
The story power make terminated there, merely Dave Dixon, the legion of an Internet wireless demonstrate, got withstand of a copy of A Garage Dayz Nite and began airing the songs online; Dixon got so many requests for the Beatallica tracks that he created a fan website for them, posting MP3s from the EP, which was unnamed to Tierney and his friends until the web sir Frederick Handley Page had already received over hundred,000 hits. As Beatallica's reputation spread, they released a minute EP in 2004, simply called Beatallica (known to some fans as The Grey Album), merely a year later the group's jocularity didn't seem so comic to Sony/ATV Music Publishing, wHO possess the rights to many of the Beatles' songs and filed a cease-and-desist order of magnitude against Beatallica's webmaster and demanded defrayment of redress from the band. However, Beatallica establish support from an unbelievable source -- Lars Ulrich, Metallica's drummer, wHO had first heard the Beatles-centric parodies of his chemical group when a journalist played some Beatallica tracks for him and singer/guitarist James Hetfield. Ulrich and Hetfield became fans of Beatallica, and Ulrich volunteered the services of Metallica's attorney to reparation fences 'tween Beatallica and Sony/ATV. In the summer of 2007, Beatallica emerged from the metro with their number 1 commercial-grade exit, Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band, which introduced a novel Beatallica batting order Michael Brandenburg left field the group and Jeff Salzman came aboard as guitarist Grg Hammettson, while bassist Lee Bruso was replaced by Paul Terrien, world Health Organization adopted the same degree name as his harbinger, Kliff McBurtney.
