Later in 2004, the band (including bassist "Kliff McBurtney" and drummer "Ringo Larz") started to perform at live venues nationally and internationally, with a stage show incorporating elements from both Beatles and Metallica performances. They also played as an opening act for Dream Theater; Mike Portnoy even joined the band on stage for drums on one occasion. During 2005 and 2006 the band toured around the world, playing over 60 shows, including their first London, UK show on April 26th, 2006. Beatallica would go on to perform with likes of Motorhead, Testament, Kreator, Sepultura, LA Guns and play huge summer festivals worldwide, including Milwaukee's Summerfest, Germany's Earthshaker Festival, The Netherlands' Kings of Metal festival, and Korea's Busan International Rock Festival.
In 2007, the band's current lineup of Jaymz Lennfield (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Grg Hammetson (lead guitar), Kliff McBurtney (lead bass, backing vocals) and Ringo Larz (drums) went into the studio to re-record many of Krk and Jaymz' original songs and write some new compositions for their official debut Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band.

Got To Get You Trapped Under Ice
Beatallica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only ice iz what you'll find there
A frozen core, can't take no more
You'll freeze right out your fuckin' mind there
OOOOOH!! Then I suddenly see you
OOOOOH!! Did I tell you I'll freeze you
Every single day of your life?
What can you do, what can you see?
All they have iz M-TV there
Can't move at all, can't hear your call
Bananarama'z all they play there
OOOOOH!! You were meant to be freezing
OOOOOH!! Crystallized and you're sneezing
No one knowz or hearz what you say
Got to get you trapped under ice!
You cannot run, you cannot hide
Cuz the ice securely holdz you
Wrapped up tight, can't move, break free
Hand of Doom iz so fuckin' cold, ooooooh!
OOOOOH!! Then I suddenly see you
OOOOOH!! Did I tell you I'll freeze you
Every single day in the ice?
Got to get you trapped under ice!
The lyrics of Beatallica's "Got To Get You Trapped Under Ice" depict a scenario where the singer is stuck in a place resembling Hell, characterized by extremely cold temperatures where the only thing that exists is ice. The singer is apparently trapped and unable to move or communicate with anyone outside this hellish terrain. The reference to MTV and Bananarama could be interpreted as a symbol for the shallowness of the entertainment that the singer is subjected to in this kind of inescapable confinement. The lyrics also suggest that the Hand of Doom has a hold on the singer and is making it impossible to break free. The repetitive "OOOOH!!" in the chorus adds a sense of dismay as the singer realises that there is no escape from the excruciating cold and misery in which they find themselves.
The song intermingles elements of Metallica's "Trapped Under Ice" and The Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life." The lyrics playfully riff on James Hetfield's vocals and Kirk Hammett's guitar riffs from Metallica's "Trapped Under Ice" while also reminding us of the structure of The Beatles' love songs through the classic "got to get you" couplet mainly seen in their "Got To Get You Into My Life." Beatallica's hybrid style of Beatles and Metallica mashup attracts a global audience of both Beatles and Metallica fans.

@Noscope-cg9cz
This is the best Beatallica song title
@matthewg666
All I can say is that I'm glad that I discovered Beatallica before they had an official release. To this day, the Gray Album is my favorite one. Both it and A Garage Dayz Nite, though having lower productions to me sound more organic. It's too bad that neither has ever been put out on cd. Try as I might, I just can't get into the reworked versions on the official albums.
@ShadoweFlash
I can appreciate that this version has better artistry, in both the vocals & especially the guitars. The blending (or interpolation- or whatever) of both songs is why i love Beatallica. but i have to say- i got spoiled on the 1st version & although it may be a little rougher, it's a little more fun. As long as you guys keep at it though, I don't really care. Always a phenomenal show !!!!
@JamesHemifield
FEKKIN CLASSIC!!! HELL YEAH!
@Kambreeyah
Original recording with the screwup is classic. Bring it back guys or at least offer it as a B side!
@Martinroque77
xD awesome one.
@monoregio
@Kambreeyah that's what I thought. liked the older version more as well
@FightingJEDI
@maniacmike1114 Trapped under the ice or Got to get you into my life?
@HardcoreKing18
Funnily enough, the original version of Got to get you trapped under ice. Beatallica has remade many of their songs from older albums where the quality and production wasn't very good. Sometimes the originals are funnier or sound more like the real songs they've been forged from.
