I personally like metal versions of Christmas songs and I am looking for versions. If you know any metal or hardrock Christmas song versions you may post them here. Let me begin with three examples:
Here is the song Mary's Boy Child by the X-Mas Project which was a project in the 80s with members from Rage, Mekong Delta, Living Death, Axel Rudi Pell's Steeler, Tankard, and Holy Moses:
Mary's Boy Child - X-Mas Project (singer Peavy Wagener from Rage)
This is Jingle Bells from the same project but with Toto from Living Death singing:
This is Ronnie James Dio with God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

This is the earliest one I know of (discounting Slade's effort, which isn't metal in my book!);
The Greedies (AKA, The Greedy Bastards) - spot the familiar faces!

I've always found this one pretty funny. It stands well as its own song too! ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Yes I love Red Water too. Type O perfectly capture the depressive mood that are also a part of Christmas for some people. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I'll revisit this thread when it gets closer to Christmas. For now, I want the snow to melt.

Here�s one from Danish metal act Red Warszawa. It�s called "Julemandens Selvmordsbrev" ("Santa�s Suicide note") . The pressure has become too much for Santa and he hangs himself. During the song we�re also told that he used to have sex with the leprechauns. Bizarre and totally "out there" lyrics as usual from these Danish madmen.

| I have a compilation disc of metal Christmas songs; my favourite is "Silent Night" with Chuck Billy, Scott Ian, Jon Doins, Chris Wyse and John Tempesta. I also quite like Lemmy, BIlly Gibbons and Dave Grohl playing "Run Run Rudolph" |

Did anyone hear that Corey Taylor one last year ? It was pretty obnoxious. ...but then that was the point, so maybe I'm just being judgemental. -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |
