On October 24, 2006 Restless Records will release "Butchering The Beatles," featuring guitar greats such as Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tommy Shaw, Billy Gibbons, Michael Wilton, Steve Stevens, Steve Lukather, and more. Over fifty top recording artists will participate by bringing their unique flavor to twelve legendary songs by the Beatles. The album, produced by Grammy award-winning producer/guitarist Bob Kulick and ace engineer Brett Chassen, offers hard core versions of The Beatles' chart-topping hits including "Hey Jude," "I Feel Fine," and "Day Tripper," plus the more esoteric "Hey Bulldog,"
According to Bob Kulick, "Beatles songs are the Holy Grail. They're the best rock songs ever written. These new recordings are totally faithful, yet completely different. Billy Gibbons singing 'Revolution' or Lemmy singing 'Back In The USSR' are not exactly Paul McCartney or John Lennon. And of course, the guitar solo sections were lengthened to accommodate all the artists' solo styles."
