Have you seen Beatallica? I believe I was first linked to them through a thread here on the dope. They are a mix ( a \*hybrid \*if you will…) of The Beatles, Metallica, and a healthy dose of H.P. Lovecraft. Here is The Thing That Should Not Let It Be: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lz1PtyYCrZQ/hqdefault.jpg "Beatallica - Thing That Should not LET IT BE") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz1PtyYCrZQ) ---

I couldn’t watch an evening of that, but have watched Tragedy as much as possible - awesome! The number one heavy metal tribute to the Bee Gees and beyond. You're welcome! MiM ---

I’d say it’s [Mini Kiss](http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/rywo7c/honey-i-shrunk-the-kiss), as seen on the Daily Show. I newly pissed myself when Jason Jones asked them, a midget Kiss tribute band, “So what’s your gimmick?” ---

Because I saw one of these in Budapest, Hungary, in 2002. So I either saw them, or a knock-off. Or original. Or something. And they were frickin’ good. ---

It’s from a few years ago, so who knows how many there are now? One wonders what the market will bear. ---

I have the whole set on my computer, including some funny in-between song banter. If I had any idea it was going to blow up as much as it has, I would’ve shot it on more than just my camera + a stationary GoPro. ---

It works surprisingly well, IMO. I have that album. Before making it they actually did a demo and got Roger Water’s blessing on it. I don’t know that they wouldn’t have gone forward without it, but it’s nice to know that he liked it (or at least approved of it). It would have sucked for them if he hated it and took legal measures to try to stop production of it. ---
