Looking Christmas Songs that \m/

[RequiemX]

It's that time of year again. You can tell from the $@$%^^! MUZAK that's playing in so many stores. Let's buck the trend and list all the rock'n/metal Christmas songs we know so we can make a good playlist!

I'll start with:

Theocracy: Little Drummer Boy

 

[halfdeadhippo]

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra should suit your needs just fine. They have two full albums of Christmas music.

That they do! I own all their albums.

 

[theodyssey]

King Diamond-No Presents for Christmas.

Time to dust off Fatal Portrait and start that shit crankin'

 

[Pastorius]

Yup, it's already been said, Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

 

[snakeey11]

Jumping on the bandwagon here...but TSO is the best I know of. (A great concert to see as well, if you get the chance)

+ Savatage - Dead Winter Dead

the cd that started TSO!

 

[RequiemX]

Yeah, I mean, TSO is the obvious. But I know there are some songs done by other bands. Another example would be DT's live version of Silent Night.

emerson lake and palmer - i believe in father christmas

 

[Soul of Ice]

A few years back Magna Carta released a christmas album with a collaboration prog band members, the album is called Sounds Like Christmas and it is done by the December People who include:

Steve Walsh (Kansas), Jake Livgren (Kerry's nephew), Trent Gardner (Magellan, Explorers Club), Mike Baker and Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery), John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia), Lisa Bouchelle (Leonardo) and Robert Berry.

two??? How about three:

Christmas Eve and Other Stories
The Christmas Attic
The Lost Christmas Eve

And for other cool Xmas discs, you can check into Merry Axemas 1 & 2. Guitar players from the a-list galore like Satriani, Vai, Morse, Johnson, Lifeson, Setzer, Beck, Lukather, Schon, Stevens, Sykes, Wylde...and many more!!

Want to give it a go with some cool acoustic yule tunes, California Guitar Trio - A Christmas Album.

[Nightmare1z]

Stride has a pretty cool X-mas CD

 

[BastrdDrmr]

I enjoy the Gary Hoey Ho Ho Hoey! albums.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

The Merry Axe-mas collection is sweet. Steve Vai does "Christmas Time is Here."

 

[Porksoda]

I am not a fan of TSO myself; I don't like their orchestration.

Gary Hoey's "Ho Ho Hoey!" christmas collection, on the other hand, is awesome. That guy actually does some pretty impressive guitar work on there, in my admittedly uneducated opinion.

two??? How about three:

Christmas Eve and Other Stories
The Christmas Attic

two essential ones

 

[WhoFooldU]

two essential ones

I'll agree with that whole heartedly!!

 

[rockyracoon]

Stride has a pretty cool X-mas CD

They sure do! It's called Bah Humbug, and it kicks ass! Aside from that, like many others already mentioned, I too do a lot of Merry Axemas Vol 1 and 2 this time of year.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra is the 1337357 of the 1377, hands down. They pwn all N00Bs. (sorry, on a N00B beating rampage)
