Done and done.

Seriously Ace, you should make "The Thing that Would Not Let it Be" the quasi-official AOSHQ theme song.

I'd die laughing if every time I linked on your side I got a 30 second blast of Chthulu.

Fogarx/Marhat--You could be on to something here!
"Fool for the Endless Summer Nights"

MarxHat - take a Slow Ride with Angelia and get a Touch of Heaven. Just might work...

How ' bout Spongebob Squirepants - The Shinns meet Billy Squire in a WWF-santioned cage match?

Not a lawyer, again, but...

Another provision of copyright law is the parody provision. You could argue that Beatallica is making a parody of the Beatles and Metallica through their music and lyrics, so it would be allowed.

You can't just change the lyrics of a song; that's not parody. You have to actually be making fun of the creator of the original song for it to count. So most of what Weird Al does isn't technically parody; he just changes the lyrics to be funny. (If you look at the liner notes of his albums, and really, how would I know because I'm not that big of a nerd... um... yeah, so anyway, if you look at his liner notes, you'll see that he has to get permission from BMI/ASCAP/RecordCompanyDuJour to clear his work.)

But if I understand it right (and this area of the law is pretty subjective), these guys are, arguably, making fun of the Beatles and Metallica, so they're using the song to make fun of the creator of the song. Which is parody. And they're doing it in a more or less original way.

And, incidentally, lawyers are dicks.

When you're doing a fusion thing, try not to pick the two most litigious bands in rock history.

Wise words, but let it be known that Lars Ulrich is on the side of the angels in this one.

Ace, I struck gold again!

Not only did I find that Beatallica has a functioning message board, but I also found the official logo for the group!

It's the first entry on my page. The logo is at the bottom. You can't miss it.

Never would have figured allah for a roadrunner records fan - but google doesn't discriminate.... kind of

Personally, I think I'll start "Blue Astley Cult" with such songs as "Never Gonna to Fear The Reaper" and "Burnin' Together, Forever."

A little comic nugget you might have missed the first time around: At the very end of "Hey Dude," as the song is fading out, "Jaymz" sings, "Dudey dudey dude, I hope we don't get sued...."

As someone who is particularly fond of parodies, I pledge to fight this to the death.

Or until I'm winded. Actually, I didn't get much sleep last night, so maybe I'll start fighting later. Unless there's something good on TV.

BTW, fat kid, Google does discriminate.
