Metal Greats Team Up For Vegas Star

(antiMusic) The Las Vegas Sun was on hand for a rather different recording session that involved Pantera great Vinnie Paul, Rough Cutt frontman Paul Shortino and Lizzy Borden guitarist Ira Black. Before you say, "oh no, not another super group!" It's not quite that. We'll let the Sun introduce you to the project and what it's all about:

Black, Paul and Shortino are friends of Carrot Top's who are recording a new opening for C.T.'s stage show at the Luxor. The song is a muscled-up version of the Stephen Sondheim classic "Send in the Clowns."

The Topper heard this song randomly (how else?) when surfing his car stereo a few months ago while stopped at a traffic light on Spring Mountain Road and Jones Boulevard. He thought of the moment in his show where he refers to himself as a "mean clown" and imagined that song in the hands of some of his heavy-metal buddies. He first asked Shortino to take part, and the project quickly came together as Shortino summoned Black, Paul and 18-year-old session player Tyler Burgess on bass. - Now go behind the scenes of the recording of this soon to be classic here
