Only music related item is Keith Richards book 'Life', which is very cool

Nothing for me as I'm done buying for at least 3-4 months to recup from my heart surgery.

Wargod51

Yep exactly like I thought nothing metal or music related, probably put a gift card towards something eventually

Got some good cds from my family today!

Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East (thus completing my Priest collection!)
Exciter - Unveiling the Wicked
Possession - The Unnameable Suffering
Possession - Eternally Haunt

I got Halford's MADE OF METAL from my brother, and "Iron Man 2" on DVD (which has a bunch of AC/DC songs on the soundtrack, therefore it counts as part of a "Metal Christmas Haul" IMO)

Well my brother got me two cds:

Shadows Fall - Of One Blood
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery

Pretty happy about those. I also have a lot of cash that I will partially use to buy cds; I'm also pondering buying a new iPod as the lock button on my old nano is going haywire

My music related haul:

King's X - Live Love In London CD/DVD
John Lennon - Signature box
U2 - 360 @ The Rosebowl box
Paul McCartney - Band On The Run CD/DVD

Beatles wall art (all album covers)
Bose iPod dock/speakers
Beatles hoodie

Plus a Best Buy gift card and Visa gift card that will buy Metal...

Also, next week I take delivery of 3 custom made CD/media shelves (7'x4' each)

Foghat - Fool for the City (CD)
Mustaine (Autobiography)
Megadeth - Rust in Peace 1990 - 2010 Anniversary shirt
Motorhead shirt

Hirax-violent assault t shirt from my ol lady
a couple of gama bomb cds from my oldest offspring
not really metal but I got an 8 gig portable hard drive filled with old blues and 60's bands

So far with a little bit of the cash I got for Christmas, I've ordered:

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Rainbow - Stranger in Us All

I'm probably also going to snatch up the copy of Deep Purple - Burn that I saw at the used cd store, and I'm guessing some more Rainbow albums are imminent.

Only actual music gift I received was LA Guns' Cocked & Loaded from my brother. However, I got a fair amount of cash and bought a couple of CDs already from it (need to save the rest for general living expenses, unfortunately). So, on their way are;

The Wildhearts - Must Be Destroyed
The Dogs D'Amour - Heart Shaped Skulls (I'm not usually one for best-of collections, but the Dogs' stuff is so hard to find and I've completely overplayed my Errol Flynn CD)
The Mission - God's Own Medicine
The Cult - Dreamtime
Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia

Looking at it, not particularly metal at all. Just a bunch of glam, goth and rock.

A few more today:
Megadeth - Rust In Peace Live
Testament - Live At Eindhoven
Gama Bomb - Tales from the Grave in Space

thats what some of my cash is going to - Rainbow cds...

I got just two music items for Christmas:

Beth Hart - My California (w/Bonus Track)
Sword, The - (The Night The Sky Cried) Tears Of Fire (Hexagonal 12" Picture Disc Single w/Non-LP Track)

No one buys me music stuff because I have so much. But my girlfriend is so awesome at buying good gifts. She knew I wanted that Sword LP, but I didn't want to pay $19.99 for it. So she saw that Newbury Comics was having a 30% off vinyl sale, and she went and bought it. So awesome.

And her sister actually bought be me Beth Hart CD, but Sarah told her about it. And she remembered that album because I briefly mentioned it one day when someone posted the album cover here. She was like, "Who's that?" So I told her, and she remembered. Wicked!

But yeah, nothing else. I just get gift cards to music shops.

stopped in a couple used cd stores to use some Christmas money on these:

Bride - Snakes in the Playground
Megadeth - So Far, So Good... So What!
Megadeth - Hidden Treasures
In Flames - Lunar Strain / Subterranean
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Zao - Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest

a couple more:

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (Deluxe Edition)
Motorhead - Ace of Spades (Deluxe Edition)

I have heard good things about these deluxe editions, now I get to hear for myself

Yep two more!

Deep Purple - Burn
Atrophy - Violent By Nature

Got a book on The Clash written by the surviving band members

Not gifts per se (except to me, from me ), but I found a Dio-fest in one of the used CD stores I go to.
Elf - S/T
Rainbow - Rising
Dio - Dream Evil
I've been listening to them back to back and its very interesting that even though the style ranges from blues rock to power metal, Dio's voice is suited to all. He doesn't sound out of place on the Elf album, even though I first heard him as the front man of Dio (the band). Gonna have to add the other Elf stuff to the want list! I also picked up the remaster of KISS' Creatures of the Night at the same store.

Grand Magus - Hammer of the North
White Wizzard - High Speed GTO

Nice! Fool For The City is my favorite Foghat album, and I read Dave's autobiography earlier this year. Great book, I think you'll really enjoy it.

My daughter surprized me with some very unexpected gifts this year for Christmas:

The Official Heavy Metal Book Of Lists by Eric Danville
I Am Ozzy (Autobiography)
Alice Cooper - Theatre Of Death-Live At Hammersmith 2009 DVD
Metalocalypse - Season Three (DVD)
