Oh boy, are you guys ready for this? 🤯 William Shatner, the 95-year-old “Star Trek” legend, is making a heavy metal album! 🤘 I mean, who wouldn’t want to hear Captain Kirk screaming about the meaning of life and the importance of wearing pants? 🤣
In a recent interview with Michael Moynihan of The Moynihan Report, Shatner confirmed that he’s working on a heavy metal album, because, you know, that’s exactly what the world was missing. The project is being driven by a production team that includes Adam Hamilton (L.A. GUNS, BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE) and Brian Perera, president of Cleopatra Records, because who better to produce a heavy metal album than a guy who’s worked with L.A. GUNS? 🤷♂️
Shatner will also be taking the stage with his newly formed heavy metal band, THE *UCKERS, at the Riot Fest on Sunday, September 20 at Chicago’s Douglass Park, because what could possibly go wrong with a 95-year-old man screaming in front of a crowd of rowdy metalheads? 🤯 The band will feature guest appearances by several dozen hard rock and heavy metal musicians, including Brian May (QUEEN), Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST), John Moyer (DISTURBED), and Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), because who wouldn’t want to be part of a project that’s guaranteed to be a trainwreck? 🚂
The Album: A Descent into Madness
Shatner has said that the album, titled “What The F Is Heavy Metal?”, will feature five songs with meaning to him, including “The Black Sky”, “Impatience”, and “Rage”, because who doesn’t love a good rage-filled song about being tired of old age and losing hair? 🤣 He’s also stated that he knows “nothing” about heavy metal, but that’s not stopping him from making an album that’s sure to be a masterpiece of chaos. 🎨
In a quote that’s sure to become a classic, Shatner said, “I am in a fervor of creativity. I am writing books. I’m doing albums. This heavy metal album is like… They want me to do… I’m gonna do a concert. I’m gonna do 30-minute concert — 30 minutes of heavy metal, with a band. 30 minutes on stage.” 🤯 Because, you know, that’s exactly what the world needs: a 30-minute concert of William Shatner screaming in front of a crowd of bewildered onlookers.
A Career of Eclectic Excellence
Shatner has had a long and illustrious career in film, television, and music, with notable roles in “Star Trek”, “T.J. Hooker”, and “Boston Legal”, as well as a critically acclaimed album titled “Has Been”. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want to listen to an album by a guy who’s primarily known for his acting work? 🤷♂️ He’s also written numerous books, including “Up Till Now” and “Shatner Rules”, because who doesn’t love a good book about the rules of being William Shatner? 📚
In conclusion, William Shatner’s heavy metal album is shaping up to be a masterpiece of chaos, a trainwreck that you won’t want to look away from. 🚂 So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride, because this is going to be a wild and entertaining journey into the depths of madness. 🎢🎸🤘
