We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year

Pretty cheesy at times, but the girls and I have been ejnoying this quite a bit. They particularly like Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer.

I love Chuck Billy & CO's version of Silent Night.

Santa Claus is Back in Town with "Ripper" Owens is pretty good as well.

Dio and band do a nice Killing the Dragon - era God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, all dark and brooding.



Now, if Matt Smith would put all his stuff together into one album, that would really be a Christmas classic.

The Dio track is Dio and Tony Iommi!!!!!!

I forgot I had this album. Need to pull that one out STAT.

The Tim Owens track is easily the best one IMO.

My fav is the DIo/Iommi track

I like this comp. Some really good songs on it.

Listened to it on Monday. On my MP3 player the artist is only listed as the first person in the credit so I had to play a guessing game on some of the vocalists that weren't obviously apparent (i.e. Lemmy). I was able to make out Dough Pinnick, Lips, and Steve Pearcy. Along with TSO, .38 Special, Theocracy, and Twisted Sister; this is now a Christmas regular for me (this being the second year for it).

Have you guys heard the This Time of Year EP, by Project 86? It's pretty sweet. Four original tunes, one classic cover.



It's more like Marilyn Manson than typical Project 86, but it's really good.

I also like some of the songs off 'A Season in Chaos"

Angels We have Heard on High by Archer is good:



and the Kekal's cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen:



and, while not on this comp, what is Christmas without Manowar???

Damn. Brutal must be referring to the production. Haha.

yeah - it isnt the greatest.

I really enjoy this album. I love the Doug Pinnick/Geroge Lynch Little Dummer Boy and Alice Cooper's Santa Claws amongst the others already mentioned.

Fun album.
Dio/Iommi and Chuck Billy`s version of Silent Night are highlights.
Uncle Tom`s take on the classics is another favorite christmas album of mine..

I find this one funny.
