Deep Purple Tribute Features Metallica, Iron Maiden

"Re-Machined: A Tribute To Machine Head" is a compilation CD featuring re-interpretations of songs by Metallica, Iron Maiden, Chickenfoot, Black Label Society and more.

The disc will be made available with Classic Rock magazine's upcoming Deep Purple fanpack.

Due on September 4, the fanpack also comes with an in-depth, official, band-endorsed 124-page magazine featuring exclusive interviews with Metallica, Maiden, Chickenfoot, Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai.

Deep Purple discuss the making of the album, and provide access to exclusive and unpublished photos and artefacts from their archive.

The magazine also includes one of the last-ever interviews with keyboard icon Jon Lord, who died earlier this month.

Last week, Glenn Hughes assembled some friends to record "Highway Star" for this release as a tribute to the music legend.

Deep Purple’s most successful record, "Machine Head" reached number 1 in the UK and stayed in the top 40 for 20 weeks; it reached number 7 in the United States, remaining on the Billboard 200 for 118 weeks.

Joe Bonamassa playing Deep Purple... I think my ears got a boner, and I didn't even listened to it yet.

Really looking forward to this. A truly amazing album with (for the most parts) great bands.

Oh..and Chad Smith grooving on Maybe I'm a Leo...daaamn.

I am actually disappointed that Machine Head are not doing the entire album, simply because "Re-Machined: A Tribute To Machine Head - Machine Head" would make me laugh.

That Santana cover seems familiar, where have I seen that before? ....

The Santana ultimate guitar collection, the cover has already been done, just re-released.

Iron Maiden doing Space Truckin' is just awesome! That alone is a good enough reason to get this cd.

[Dr Funkenstein]

Jimmy Barnes? Seriously?

[ShockHazard]

Wow, can you guys imagine Vai playing Highway Star solo.. :O Also, Maiden!!

[DaniArrow]

BLS ... this is gonna sound interesting.

[OneTimeReview]

The ****?!

Make Maiden and Metallica switch songs. Space Truckin is a riff song, Maiden can't do riffs.

[perko1]

I cant wait to hear Space Truckin!
