William Shatner (The SHAT, as I like to call him) and Zakk Wylde collaborated on a cover of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." It is set to be released on The Shat's upcoming album, Seeking Major Tom. The album is a concept cover album featuring additional covers by David Bowie, Queen, Deep Purple, Elton John and Pink Floyd. This cover came out last week, but I just tracked it down during my regular RSS perusals. It is, uh, interesting:

Ultimately, I am of the school of thought that my life wouldn't feel incomplete if I had never heard this. But, to be honest, the track isn't half bad. With that said, had he never recorded this track, he would have never gone to this year's Revolver Golden Gods Awards, and we would've never met, thus he would never know my awesome nickname for him, The SHAT!
