What a magical career Tom and the guys have had.to work with all of the rock gods and goddesses and have them in return say how much they admire his work ethic and determination was really great. My son gave this to me a few years ago for Christmas and I had forgotten it on my book shelf, well now it will be plainly visible so that anyone who comes over can look at it! What a great gift!!

Over furious riffs and speed-metal drums, frontman Mike Paparo growls and roars over songs by Neil Young, Hüsker Dü, and, on the album’s penultimate track, Petty. Over the summer, Richmond black metal band Inter Arma released a covers album called Garbers Days Revisited. Inter Arma – Runnin’ Down a Dream (Tom Petty cover) The most metal part is easily the Cookie Monster-growled title line. For “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” they got musicians from Coheed and Cambria, Cave In, and Piebald to riff along. They rope in members of various metal bands to cover everyone from Rush to Robyn.
One of the joys of our live-from-home era have been the wonderful videos from heavy-metal online late night show Two Minutes to Late Night (the host goes by Gwarsenio Hall, which tells you everything you need to know).
