METALLICA,
IRON MAIDEN,
CHICKENFOOT and
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY are among the artists who have re-interpreted songs from
DEEP PURPLE's classic
"Machine Head" album for
"Re-Machined: A Tribute To Machine Head", a compilation CD which will be made available with
Classic Rock magazine's upcoming
DEEP PURPLE fanpack. Due on Septemer 4, the fanpack also comes with an in-depth, official, band-endorsed 124-page magazine which includes exclusive new interviews with world-class guitarists
Joe Bonamassa and
Steve Vai and the members of
METALLICA,
IRON MAIDEN and
CHICKENFOOT, among others, talking about recording these classic songs, plus brand new interviews with
DEEP PURPLE — one of the last interviews with the late
Jon Lord — on the making of their most well-loved album and exclusive and previously unpublished photographs and artefacts from the
PURPLE archives.
Hearing of
Jon Lord's sad passing,
Glenn Hughes assembled some friends to cut
"Highway Star" last week as a tribute to his dear friend. The performance is one of the greatest performances
Glenn Hughes has committed to record.
Drummer
Lars Ulrich of
METALLICA, who are also recording a song for the upcoming
Ronnie James Dio tribute album, previously said, "We were asked if we'd contribute to the anniversary of
'Machine Head' — we can't turn that down. We're circling the
Dio and
PURPLE catalogs and hopefully we'll come up with something that is worthy of these wonderful men."
