Music reviews of In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy
Music Review: Metallica & Pat Boone? Does It Get Any Better?
Rating: 5 Stars
Pat Boone's lounge version of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" is my personal fave (go ahead, crank up that stereo to '11' and rock it!), but I also particularly enjoy the Boone covers of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train", Guns & Roses "Paradise City", and Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary". But I really, really can't get enough of cranking it up for the Metal Mood version of "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple.
Got this as one of my birthday presents yesterday from my wife-- who fortunately appreciates my, ahem, 'diverse', musical interests. Thank heaven for Amazon's "wish lists"!
Maybe for this Father's Day I'll hint to my college-age son that I want the Japanese metal tribute to ABBA :D :D :D

Title: IN A METAL MOOD-NO MORE MR. N
Street Release Date: 01/21/1997
Genre: VOCAL
Monty Python have got nothing on Pat Boone. You want absurd, this is the pinnacle. No comedy writer in his/her dreams could have dreamt up anything even half as stupid. The mere idea of Pat Boone, Mr. Squeaky Clean himself, (ahem) crooning heavy metal tunes is bad enough, but it gets so much worse. Big name arrangers were brought in to take crunchy power chords and squealing guitar solos and turn them into jazzy riffs and big band horn blasts. Even a few of the artists whose material is covered make guest appearances. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore plugs in on "Smoke on the Water," while vocalist Ronnie James Dio gives a shout out on his band's "Holy Diver." This musical "idiodyssey" actually works a few times. I'm not immune to the kitsch value that the swingin' versions of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary," or Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" provide. These songs almost sound like they were written for this kind of overblown, slick swing. Very scary. As for the rest, well, let's just say that aside from the fact that they don't really work too well in this format, Boone just ends up sort of speaking the lyrics and sounding completely goofy. If that's not comedy enough for you, surely the extensive liner notes explaining (rationalizing?) why Boone felt the need to make this record are the topper. I liked this guy a lot better when he was pals with the Parents' Music Resource Center. Can't wait for In a Grunge Mood--sometime in the 21st century. --Adem Tepedelen
