William Shatner...yes, that's right...WILLIAM SHATNER is planning to release a Heavy Metal concept album, which will be a series of covers (of mostly non-Metal bands, if I may add). Zakk Wylde, Ritchie Blackmore and Mike Indez will provide guest appearances.
MQ: Thoughts, opinions? BQ: Favourite song on the album's tracklist?

You know I kind of feel like the world is starting to embrace Heavy Metal a little bit more now, after watching American Idol the other day it hit me. (Yes, American Idol)
MQ- I'm just wonderin' how it'll turn out, It's pretty crazy that Shatner is doing a project like that. How in the world did he make a concept album with cover songs? I wonder how his vocals will fit. Looks like he picked songs that weren't to heavy, so he didn't have to scream too much...Either it'll be a win or fail, no telling.
He's like 80, so I guess this was on his bucket list lol Too bad it's going to be covers, I'd like to see some original work, I guess if they're not metal songs but covered as metal it could be interesting.
BQ There are a lot of songs I like lol, I'll go with Elton John.
