Dont remember what song is what, or who does it though, lol.
This is fucking craaaaaazy. I thought metal covers of my favorite christmas music would be great, but they’re terrible. Oh well. I’ll let you be the judge.
I’m partial to the Blind Guardian version of Mr Sandman but mainly because it isn’t rooted in the idea of “let’s add distortion and play hard”. It’s feelgood.
On a related note, I always loved the Siberian transatlantic(is that its name?) orchestra’s rendition of some-famous-Christmas-song-youve-heard-but-dont-know-the-name-of. I’m sure you guys have heard this song - its played on the radio every Christmas.
The Trans Siberian Orchestra (pretty much some guys from Savatage and an orchestra) has had two Christmas albums: Christmas Eve and Other Stories and The Christmas Attic. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is awesome. I can’t say much for the other.
Actually, I think they might have a third, but I’m not sure.
I honestly have no idea, because the radio stations around here aren’t cool enough to play Trans Siberian Orchestra songs. The last classic rock/hard rock/new rock station that we had in the area has just been replaced by a fucking pop and new age station. Yeah. They’d be the only ones likely to play it.
3 christmas albums, and a non christmas album. The last Xmas album is the best of the holiday ones, but I like the non christmas one the best. The song they play on the radio… I dont remember what it’s called, but it’s a redone version of Savatage’s Christmas Eve Sarevjo (Sp?) 12/24.
…did anyone even download any of those? The Angels we Have Heard on High cover is actually really good.
