Shatner makes a new album

As it sounds. Apparaently it's metal covers....

[Salted Grump]

Still better than Bieber.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

This promises to be awesome on so many levels! However, these are not metal covers.

[Bella_Vixen]

The actor's latest musical project, Searching For Major Tom, will include covers of songs by Deep Purple, U2, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, David Bowie, Queen, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran and The Police.

When did Frank Sinatra and Elton John ever do Metal? I might have to rethink my favorite musical genre.

that can NOT be as bad as this one:

about 15 years ago Pat Boone put out an album of Metal covers called "In A Metal Mood". NO I am NOT kidding.

Here is the album cover

just the cover photo made me run (or gave me the runs )

Amazon's page for this "music"

the brief Wiki Page

some of it is not THAT bad BUT.......

and if you really want, just search on YouTube for "Pat Boone A Metal Mood"
Pat Boone Does Ozzys Crazy Train

Smoke on the Water is not that bad.
and Judas Priest's Got Another Thing Coming is almost acceptable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxJhDlz4jxM

Ohh, yeah, I remember when that came out. The Phoenix New Times did a review on it, and my favorite quote from it is, "I don't know which is more odious, Boone making good black music bad, or making bad white music worse!"

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Y'know, I think that the Shat can pull it off. He understands that everyone is going to have low expectations on it, so he'll have fun.

And his version of "Common People" is pretty damn good (with Joe Jackson doing the actual singing, that is...).
