There's also a bootleg article in this month's Spin (page 119). Their last
item is Beatallica, a group I have some personal interest in, since I host
their home page. Beatallica = Beatles + Metallica, naturally, but it's
actually really good, with not only hybridized music arrangements but
hybridized lyrics as well... and the Hetfield impersonation is dead on.
So far I haven't gotten a cease-and-desist from either the Beatles or
Metallica's interests. It's pretty cut-and-dried "fair use" as far as I can
see, but, well, judge for yourself.
