On the Gramophone

Beatallica are a group of Milwaukee lads who combine Metallica and Beatles songs. For instance, they took "Got To Get You Into My Life", added "Trapped Under Ice", and came up with "Got To Get You Trapped Under Ice". Their singer, Jaymz Lennfield, does a killer James Hetfield imitation. They opened up for Dream Theater when they were at the Barrymore here in Madison last fall and survived a legal brouhaha with Sony who said that they were horrible people because they parody Beatles tunes. So, without further adieu, let me urge you to check out "Sandman", a mix of The Beatles' "Taxman" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman".
