Beatles + Metallica = Beatallica

Just a few years back, Beatles mash-ups were all the rage (The Grey Album, anyone?), but the trend died down — until now. Enter Beatallica, a band that creates original tunes in the vein of Weird Al by melding melodic Beatles’ tracks with Metallica’s raw power. Their third album, appropriately titled Sgt. Hetfield’s Motorbreath Pub Band, comes out today and features tracks like “Blackended the U.S.S.R.” and “Helvester of Skelter.” Intrigued? Download “Revol-Ooh-Tion” for yourself to hear what James Hetfield might sound like fronting the Fab Four. Download “Revol-Ooh-Tion”

Rage Against the Machine Schedule Show Near Republican Convention

Following their near-riot-inducing performance at this weekend’s Lollapalooza, Rage Against the Machine have scheduled another concert they probably hope has similar results. The band announced that they’ll perform in Minneapolis’ Target Center on September 3rd, which is significant because that’s the same week the Republican National Convention rolls into the Twin City of St. Paul. In 2000, the band played an outdoor show in Los Angeles during the Democratic National Convention, and that show ended with police using tear gas and pepper spray. In the announcement of the Minneapolis show, Rage made no mention of the political overtones their show will carry, but Tom Morello has already revealed he will play a union rally with Steve Earle in St. Paul on September 1st, the first day of the RNC. Protest isn’t free, though: tickets for Rage’s show in Prince’s hometown are $60 and go on sale Saturday. [Photo: Getty]

Zach de la Rocha’s One Day As A Lion Unveil First Song

The first song from One Day As A Lion, the side project of Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de le Rocha, has been posted on the band’s MySpace page. As “Wild International” proves, the years of recording dormancy hasn’t slowed de la Rocha’s flow, as the rapper comes roaring out of the gate and never loses speed. The song sounds like it could’ve been on RATM’s Evil Empire if not for de la Rocha’s keyboards replacing Tom Morello’s guitar wizardry. One Day As A Lion, who get their name from the quote “It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb,” will release their self-titled debut EP on July 22nd. [Photo: Getty]

Steve Earle on Townes Van Zandt and Turning Up the Volume: “I’m Too Loud for My Own Audience”

Photo: Arnold/Wireimage When Steve Earle was just 16 years old he struck up a relationship with songwriter Townes Van Zandt that would change the direction of the budding musician’s life: Van Zandt became a mentor to Earle, and now Earle is repaying the favor by recording a tribute album to his troubled late friend, who died in 1997. Brian Braiker rang up the rabble-rouser in Nashville to chat about the record, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, and Earle’s favorite new band: the Kings of Leon. • Q&A: The Music That Moves Steve Earle
