[x] Beatallica

I would love to see this band in the database.

[www.discogs.com] http://www.discogs.com/artist/Beatallica says Krk Hammetson is Michael Brandenburg in real life. We have this guitar player in the db: [www.bandtoband.com] http://www.bandtoband.com/artist/michael-brandenburg
But this is also him:
[twittercounter.com] http://twittercounter.com/mikeohfive
And he says his only claim to fame is his stint with End Of A Year so he's not our guy I guess.

One site says that [www.bandtoband.com] http://www.bandtoband.com/artist/takis-kinis was in Beatallica, but I can't get further with it.

Could Kinis be this guy?
"Special Guest: Diablo Mysterioso (real name: unknown)- guitar"

I also think that if he was a full time member, we should be able to find something. I'm pretty sure that if he was really involved, he was a guest or touring member only..

Jaymz Lennfield / Michael Tierney's first band was Necromacy:

Kliff McBurtney / Paul Terrien plays in MJØD:

Found a better connection. Beatallica's now queued up via punk band The Crusties.

The members of MJØD appear to be using fake Scandinavian-sounding names, so it wasn't any use.

There's 2 paths to Beatallica queued up now. Yes, I'm keen to see this band in too!

I stumbled upon a couple more band members behind the known aliases and edited the Wikipedia article accordingly. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Grg Hammettson III is the 3rd Hammettson. His predecessor opened up a connection via some rock & metal bands, leading to Dan Kubinski of Die Kreuzen, a band from the same scene as The Crusties.

Please consider: once they're live it would be easier for Metallica to sue them...

Metallica are fans and helped them reach an agreement with The Beatles' music publisher. If it wasn't for Lars, Beatallica would never have sold any CDs!

OK, just checking ;)

The Crusties launched a website to coincide with the release of Rats Revenge, so if another source for lineup on that entry is needed, this could be it:

I'd like to be able to go back to The Crusties drummer to let him know they've made it onto BandToBand, as I haven't heard back since I replied to his email.

I stumbled onto yet another member behind the Kliff McBurtney alias, so updated the first 2 releases accordingly. Looks like the 2nd Kliff (Lee) joined in time for live rehearsals and didn't perform on any recordings.

They're in, and they're balanced at 7 steps from both Metallica and The Beatles. They couldn't have orchestrated it better if they'd tried!
