A quick Heavy Metal Sunday announcement

[gridlore]

I've been spending a lot of time being amazed at some of the quality mash-ups one can find on the net. A lot of them feature fine heavy metal and some really odd mixes. So, in honor of this, November will be Mash Up Month on HMS. If you have a favorite, let me know!

Edit Some good stuff coming up, but a mash-up is the mixing of two or more studio tracks to create a new song. That's the kind of thing I'm going to do.

Not quite a mash-up, but if you're not familiar with Andy Rehfeldt's work....

Smooth Jazz Metallica. Awesome by half.

Since we're talking Metallica covers, go for Beatallica (http://beatallica.com/).

Nine Inch Nails' "The Hand That Feeds" plus Ray Parker, Jr's theme from Ghostbusters equals The Ghost That Feeds-

(Assuming NiN counts as metal...)

Funny you should suggest this, since one of the tracks that got him on this kick was ThunderBusters (Ray Parker Jr. vs. AC/DC)....

You may agree that this mashup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pLj9BoNb1U) is awesome as well.

I can't find a video for it, but "Don't You Give Up Wanting Me Baby" from this collection is disturbingly brilliant, imo.
