Did you ever receive any metal memorabilia at Christmas?

[Wolves83]

Did you ever receive any metal memorabilia at Christmas? Any metal shirts? Cds? tickets? any corpsepaint? any spikes? any weapons? any guitars? any instruments? any amps? any posters? any satanic bibles? anything metal at christmas?

If not, are you hoping you will get some metal at christmas from someone in the family or friends? OR ARE YOU planning to give someone you know some metal cd or something?

For me, I'm looking to get a Fear Factory t-shirt for my pal come Christmas and plus, a Fear Factory cd. Since it seems like he digs that band quite a bit. Also, I have yet to receive anything metal from previous Christmas's. I'm hoping so though; it would be quite nice if I got a left handed Max Cavalera guitar but as we all know, that doesnt exist!

I went CD shopping for myself on my mom's money one year.

I got Death - Symbolic, a Blind Guardian T-Shirt, and a Celtic Frost hoodie last Christmas.

I'm sorry (that you don't like them anymore).

All the metal related things I've gotten in the past couple christmases that I can remember include:
Ozzy tshirt
pyramid stud bracelet from hot topic
Dimmu Borgir- rerelease of Stormblast
Opeth- Orchid
Opeth- Morningrise
Opeth poster
Rob Zombie poster
There could be more but thats all I can really recall right now.

No, thankfully. I don't trust anyone to buy me music.

My parents don't know anything about the music I like, which is probably for the better.

 

[Hatebreeder]

My dad usually buys me metal stuff all year-round because he pretty much vicariously checking out the genre through me.

My dad likes metal too, so there's no need to get any cd's at Christmas. Last year I got a Bal-Sagoth shirt (which I asked for).

 

[A8]

I'm sorry (that you don't like them anymore).

yea me too because they were the first metal band i heard
and its not that i dont like them because i dislike their music, but they never really seemed to change or add something new to their songs...maybe im just missing it idk

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I got a motorhead t-shirt, black sabbath poster, motorhead patch, overkill shirt and a death shirt for my birthday once.

I, of course ordered them with someone elses money though.

I guess I'm surprised some of you guys ask for presents. Doesn't that totally kill the surprise. I've never asked for a gift in my life.

Nothing more fun than getting a pop cd for christmas. Sur-fucking-prise.

No fucking way.

My parents always upheld the "Santa" tradition to give a little meaning to the holidays in my youth so they knew what I wanted, and they still do to this day merely for the sake of tradition. I don't mind, though. I still enjoy waking up early on Christmas morning and opening presents with the family.

I'm too old already for this gift receiving stuff although I did get two metal-themed t-shirts from my parents in recent years without me asking. One had a Linkin Park logo and the other had Heavy Metal printed on its back and an electric guitar with many skulls strewn all over it. I never wear them. I gave the Linkin Park shirt back to my dad.
Not on New Year, but on one of my birthdays, I think three years ago my mother insisted on buying me an album from "one of those noise bands you like so much". I told her that there's only one specialized store in Tel-Aviv that has what I like on retail but she insisted on searching throughout all the Tower Records stores in the city. Apparently, they've never heard of Summoning.

 

[Crapples]

Got a Satyricon hoodie and a Gorgoroth Antichrist shirt last Christmas. My Mum actually asked me if I wanted some band shirts and then had me look through various websites and pick them.

Apart from that, anything else is a complete surprise to me.

 

[Captain]

None of my relatives know what I listen unless I put it on a list. I don't even bother getting any metal "memorbilia" from anybody, I just wait for my paycheck to come in and then I go on a full fledged metal haul.

 

[A1a23]

Never really got much metal stuff for christmas but last christmas i got Hypocrisy - S/t

 

[audiophileguy]

i always get a fat christmas haul for myself around the holidays. there's a ton of good deals going on
