Music Mash-ups That Should Not Be
 
#3
I couldn't even get through one song. I like the concept of mashups, and Beatles/Metallica peeks my interest.
But I think that we get the worst of both worlds when you combine the two.
The singer obviously doesn't have the vocal training of the Beatles (and some would argue of Metallica).
The songs have been striped of a lot of their complexity in order to get them to mesh.
And as a result I'm are not left with anything about the song to like, besides some meta-humor about the mashup itself.

It takes a lot of talent to successfully merge two such diametrically opposed music styles. The best execution of such a mashup I know of is Metallica's S&M, where the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra worked with Metallica.
