METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY & More To Be Part Of "Re-Machined: A Tribute To Machine Head (The DEEP PURPLE Hit Album)"


Last week, Jon Lord of Deep Purple died earlier at the age of 71. The co-founder and keyboard player with the Heavy Metal pioneers passed after suffering a pulmonary embolism. Earlier this year, Lord was diagnosed as suffering from pancreatic cancer, a normally swiftly developing and deadly form of cancer. Lord was was surrounded by his family at the London Clinic. Jon Lord is survived by his wife Vickie and two daughters — Amy and Sara (please keep them in your thoughts and prayers).


As we all know, the album that "broke" DEEP PURPLE into the international music spectrum is 'Machine Head'. This is why Classic Rock Magazine are putting together a compilation CD that will be available as part of the magazine's "DEEP PURPLEfanpack" (available on September 4). Entitled "Re-Machined: A Tribute To Machine Head", the CD will feature re-interpreted songs from their classic hit album 'Machine Head'. The songs will be re-interpreted by some of Heavy Music's finest:

- METALLICA
- IRON MAIDEN
- BLACK LABEL SOCIETY
- STEVE VAI
- CHICKEN FOOT

The fanpack also features an in-depth, official, band-endorsed 124-page magazine which includes exclusive NEW interviews with world-class guitar masters Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai and members of METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN and CHICKENFOOT, and more. During the interview segments, the artists will talk 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the last interviews with the late Jon Lord — on the making of their most well-loved album and exclusive and previously unpublished photographs and artefacts from thePURPLE archives.
