Has anyone heard of Beatallica. They are a band from Milwaukee that has combined Beatles melodys with Metallica music and mixed the lyrics of both bands. It's absolutely genious!! I guess they are in a legal battle with Sony music who owns the rights to the Beatles stuff. Metallica has sided with the band and are trying to help them fight Sony. Here's a link where you can download the Beatallica stuff one song at a time, just right click the title and choose "save as.."

We Can Hit The Lightz
..and Justice For All My Loving
Sgt. Hetfields Motorbreath Pub Band
ENJOY!!!!

Interesting. Doesn't Michael Jackson own the rights to the Beatles songs?

I thought I remember a story that Paul McCartney told in an interview about MJ backstabbing him by outbidding him for the rights.

Maybe with all the legal bills, Jackson needed some quick cash and sold the rights to the evil empire that is Sony.
