Mesmerizing, exquisite & simply great Metallicas Big Band version. Underestimated Pat Boone. Specially due to his reactionary social-political convictions. What a waste, birthers preacher Charles Eugene Patrick Boone! What a pity! Aint that a shame? This is also the soundtrack of a 1996 music documentary co-starring Deep Purple, Lemmy, and Dweezil Zappa. In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy is a 1997 album by Pat Boone in which Boone covers hard rock and heavy metal songs in a jazz/big band style. Boone promoted the album by appearing in leather clothing (and, at that years American Music Awards, wearing a dog collar). He succeeded in propelling Metal Mood onto the Billboard record charts (making it Boones first hit album in 35 years), but it did not please some of his longtime supporters who consider the heavy metal genre in bad taste, or worse. In October of the same year, and in a similar vein, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé covered Soundgardens Black Hole Sun in a lounge-jazz style on the 1997 compilation album release, Lounge-A-Palooza. This idea of giving rock hits a standards treatment was imitated later by Boones contemporary Paul Anka in the 2005 album Rock Swings, which also featured Anka doing a cover of Black Hole Sun.(source: Wikipedia) Personnel: Pat Boone, Ronnie James Dio, Clydene Jackson Edwards, Merry Clayton, Carmen Twillie - vocals Ritchie Blackmore, Mitch Holder, Dawayne Bailey, Dweezil Zappa, Dan Ferguson, Michael Thompson - electric guitar Doug Cameron, Bruce Dukov, Michelle Richards - violin Evan Wilson - viola Larry Corbett - cello Tom Scott, Gary Herbig, Don Menza, Pete Christlieb, Terry Harrington, Plas Johnson, Jeol Peskin - woodwinds Frank Szabo, Chuck Findley, Wayne Bergeron, Rick Baptist, Chris Tedesco - trumpet Dick Slide Hyde, Lew McCreary, Alan Kaplan, Bruce Otto, Dana Hughes - trombone Dave Siebels - organ, keyboards Andy Simpkins - acoustic bass Marco Mendoza - electric bass Gregg Bissonette - drums Lenny Castro - percussion Sheila E. - timbales.
