Dave McClain, seines Zeichens Drummer bei Machine Head, hat auf der Bandpage bekanntgegeben, dass sich die Bay-Area Thrasher am Geburtstagsgeschenk des Kerrang! Magazins an Metallica beteiligen.
Auf dem Tribute zu "Master Of Puppets" covern sie den Song "Battery", der 2003 schon einmal im Rahmen eines Forum-Polls aufgenommen wurde. Mal hören, wie die neue Version klingen wird.

Dave scheint jedenfalls eine Menge Freude beim Einspielen der Drumparts gehabt zu haben:

"Me, I have to give it up to Lars (Ulrich, Metallica)... I know he seems to be everyone's whipping boy these days but, learning the tune (not that I didn't respect him before) was not only a lot of fun, but quite a learning experience, too. Some of the shit he does is so off the wall and outside the norms of conventional drumming... think I'll have to be stealing some of that for the new album! Anyway, I think I can speak for the whole band when I say that learning this tune together really sparked a new fire in all of us to continue to challenge ourselves as musicians on this new album. Stay tuned for some exclusive video of the recording session too!!"
