IRON MAIDEN Singer Comments On DEEP PURPLE Cover For 'Re-Machined' Tribute - Aug. 16, 2012
Eagle Records has announced the release of "Re-Machined - A Tribute To Deep Purple's Machine Head" album on September 25.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of this landmark album and in recognition of the influence of the band, and of "Machine Head" in particular. Some of rock music's biggest names have each contributed a version of their favorite track on the album to create "Re-Machined - A Tribute To Deep Purple's Machine Head".

There are two wildly differing versions of the album's most famous track "Smoke On The Water", one from guitar hero Carlos Santana with vocals by Jacoby Shaddix and one from alternative rockers FLAMING LIPS, and METALLICA have contributed their own special take on "When A Blind Man Cries", a track recorded at the "Machine Head" sessions but originally released as the B-side to "Never Before".

IRON MAIDEN's "Space Truckin'" cover was actually recorded back in 2006. Lead singer Bruce Dickinson explains, "Initially we didn't think we'd be able to contribute anything due to our touring commitments. Then we remembered 'Space Truckin'' which we'd recorded as a single B-side during our 'A Matter Of Life And Death' album session, but never used. However now, thanks to Kevin Shirley's remixing skills, we're able to include it on 'Re-Machined'."

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."

Initially released as a limited edition Classic Rock "fanpack" on September 3, this is a truly unique release that will appeal to rock fans everywhere.

"Re-Machined: A Tribute To Machine Head" track listing:

01. Smoke On The Water - CARLOS SANTANA
02. Highway Star - CHICKENFOOT
03. Maybe I'm A Leo - GLENN HUGHES, CHAD SMITH, LUIS MALDONADO
04. Pictures Of Home - BLACK LABEL SOCIETY
05. Never Before - KINGS OF CHAOS (Joe Elliott, Steve Stevens, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum, Arlan Schierbaum)
06. Smoke On The Water - THE FLAMING LIPS
07. Lazy - JIMMY BARNES, JOE BONAMASSA
08. Space Truckin' - IRON MAIDEN
09. When A Blind Man Cries – METALLICA
10. Highway Star - GLENN HUGHES, STEVE VAI, CHAD SMITH, LACHLAN DOLEY (exclusive track)

album.

No Deep Purple, no Heavy Metal.

Black Sabbath takes most of the credit (or blame) but Deep Purple deserves a slice of the pie.

Good stuff.

I am all for a tribute to Deep Purple but it seems a lot of this material was recorded already and it takes away from the whole 'let's pay tribute to these guys now' thing.

I kind of agree with you, but all these bands have been digging Deep Purple for many many years so from that perspective I don't care when they were recorded.

Awesome.

I see David Letterman's drummer, Anton Fig, was playing drums on Lazy in the video above.

So I heard this album not thinking much of it, but I really am blown away by Metallica's cover of When a Blind Man Cries. I mean Lars could've used less snare rolls and Kirk could've laid of the wah a little towards the climax of the song, but James sounds amazing and you can actually clearly hear the bass doing some cool stuff in the background. First half of the song also ruled production wise but even the clipping towards the end was much more subtle than Death Magnetic. Still I'd give it 5/5 just because they nailed the overall sound/atmosphere

I will definitely pick up this CD on the street date but hope a tribute to the Burn album will be next. Perfect Strangers album would be awesome, too.

The only act that doesn't belong is BLS, but the rest looks sick. Can't wait to get it off PirateBay.

Dammit. I thought the clip was going to be Maiden doing Space Trucking. That is going to roar - can't wait to hear it.
