Paul McCartney made an appearance. Bruce Springsteen serenaded the 3,000 people who attended. Alicia Keys sang. The Jonas Brothers ended the night - the event at the Javits Center in New York on Wednesday night raised $77.5 million for the charity that focuses on reducing poverty. Rollin. stone reports about the event.

Ninety-nine metal artists have banded together to sing '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall', a 23-minute song aimed to help dog charity. The collaboration was the brainchild of Scour guitarist Derek Engemann and bassist John Jarvis, as well as Gruesome bassist Robin Mazen, all under the moniker The Boozehoundz. They recruited the likes of their Scour bandmate Philip Anselmo (Pantera, Down), Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down), Bill Kelliher (Mastodon), Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus), Brendon Small (Dethklok, Galaktikon), Derrick Green (Sepultura), Mark “Barney” Greenway (Napalm Death), Mike “XCIX” Williams (EyeHateGod), Chuck Billy (Testament), and dozens more to each sing a line from the traditional drinking song. Proceeds benefit Old Dog Haven, which helps provide foster care for older dogs.
