IN A METAL MOOD features Pat Boone's renditions of 12 hard-rock and heavy-metal classics, including Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven," Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water" and Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City."
From the man who sanitized Fats Domino and Little Richard for your listening pleasure, here's a little not-so-heavy metal. Really. On IN A METAL MOOD, Pat Boone covers devil's-rock hits by Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Judas Priest and more. More Barney Bigard and Benny Goodman than Beavis & Butthead, Boone gives this material the big-band treatment.
Some of the cover-ees even drop in to help reconstruct their pasts. Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple plays guitar on a bossa nova version of "Smoke On The Water"--really--while Ronnie James Dio can be heard singing backup on a rendition of his own "Holy Diver" that wouldn't be out of place on a '60s Sinatra album. After "fastening his seatbelt" on a salsa-like "Panama" (originally by Van Halen), Boone ends things with a swinging "Stairway To Heaven." Really.

In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy Music Review
Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)    List All 6 Reviews Competition for worst ever
William Shatner and Mac Davis have some competition now for the worst record ever made.
The premise isn't so bad but the execution is. You really have to hear it to believe it, to hear how bad it really is.
Pat's singing is horrible, varying from amateurishly casual to pretentiously inappropriately sentimental, the arrangements are cloyingly sweet or brassingly brassy all at once and make no sense. But the good news it's worth a good laugh if you're into collecting worst efforts of all time and laughing at them.

 No Moor Mr Nice Guy
Pat's beautiful voice is very apparent in this CD. It is not the heavy metal type of song with lots of noise and screaming. Excellent beat, good lyrics ...I have enjoyed this CD and would recommend it to Pat Boone fans who have tired of hearing "love letters in the sand" and would like to hear Pat sing something else.

 Music is music!
Pat Boone has demonstrated that music can move from one side to another (even if it's from metal to jazz/swing/big band format!) and still be cool. Besides, his voices is really great. This is an excellent cover album (with a lot of work in the traslation of the aesthetics), not a boring one that just repeats the same elements of the original songs. Cool surprise!

 What on earth
This is not the Pat Boone I know and
the songs are flat. What was he thinking.

A great one off cover album!!
Pat Boone finally did what no one else would. Instead of doing the metal songs in another form of metal or strings, he did big band and the orchestration is GREAT!! Boone flew into the face of music and got crucified for it, but there's no denying the pure magic that came through on this album. Its worth every nickel
