Strange Collaborations

Nightwish

heres another one for you. what are the strangest metal/rock collaborations. be they good or truly awful. the strangest one for me is definately Rammstein+tATu on the Reise Reise album

Doctor J

Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne, we all saw it coming though what little specs of respect which lingered for Ozzy tried to convice us otherwise

The whole Judgement Night album. Cypress Hill and Sonic Youth par example?

Cactus Col

How about Sparks and Faith No More, that was a bit out there. (something for the girl with everything, and this town ain't big enough for the both of us)

Nightwish

"this town aint big enough for the both of us" is such a brilliantly cheesy song. weird collab. tho

Cactus Col

totally class song, was just listening to it the other night.

John

Nick Cave, Shane MacGowan, PJ Harvey, Anita Lane and that other stalwart of independent music, Kylie Minogue.

Bowie and Reznor on "I'm Afraid of Americans" is a strange mix but it works

I don't think that's strange at all. They used to perform live together an awful lot, have a few bootlegs and videos of them. I think they're very much a likely combination.

Matthewthebig

Well I'm sorry!

John

don't be sorry, I just don't think it's strange, you might.

Seaneh

Jay-z and The Beatles on the Grey album.

My sister was tellin me that on Bjork's new album,she has an icelandic(dunno if thats right) choir behind her, Rahzel as the beat and Mike Patton. I found this kinda intruiging,but she keeps forgetting the cd....Dont hate me if it just somehow popped into my head in a dream one night,and isnt actually true!! (But it could be)

It's true. I think the choir is a group of Innuit throat singers. I haven't heard the album yet but it sounds very interesting.

Miles

Have to be the whole "Velvet revolver" fiasco.

what was this?

smackbunnybaby

nirvana and destinys child - i didnt see that one coming at all!
seriously thou , id have to agree on the whole judgement night thing,it was also very influential for a lot of future projects and collaborations

Kersh

I think the Spawn soundtrack has some interesting pairings...Slayer and iceT, or is that Judgement Night??

Mr. CooL ICE

Soulfly and Tom Araya. Strange, since the seps did steal slayer's sound...


As sad as it sounds, I love that song with Nick Cave and Kylie

cournioni

Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul, Rex Brown and David Allen Coe.

Doctor J

Brian May, Rodger Taylor & Paul Rodgers

Are they the strange sounding vocals on that "Moskau" track?

I quite like that one actually

Nightwish

yeah thats them on the chorus. the strange thing is it works

They're all on the Bad Seeds album Murder Ballads on the track "Death Is Not The End", a Dylan cover. Kylie and PJ Harvey are on other tracks on the album but the last track is a star studded sing-a-long sunshine song.

Doctor J

That Kylie one is quite good, especially when he smashes her head in with a rock IIRC

Ancient1

Well....Dave Mustaine and Vinnie Colaiuta (sp?) is a strange but obviously great collaboration!

Robbo

I'm still waiting for Crosby, Stills and Slash...

The Fitz

linkin park ruined my love for them when they teamed up with jay-z
gone are the days of Hybrid Theory

Sarky

Who would have thought Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra would be so... effective?

superconor

On the nativity in black album, Bruce Dickinson does Sabbath Bloody Sabbath with...i think its Godsmack? It sounds class, but only because of Brucie!

Creamy Goodness

a lot of jay-z there so i'll add two more

these are mixes not actual collabs

biffy clyro and jay-z - there's no such thing as a jay-z snake.

weezer and jay-z there's a whole mix album out there.
