Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I'm looking forward to downloading some tracks that are Christmas-oriented, and are from rock groups or even metal. They can be covers, hymns, carols, live, etc. For example, I have Chris Cornell singing "Ave Maria." If you can think of any others, it'd be appreciated.

My favourite is Hanoi Rocks - Dead By X-mas

Pearl Jam "Don't Believe In Christmas" from their 2002 fan club single.

or maybe "Let Me Sleep" from Lost Dogs.

Run DMC - Christmas In Hollis - not rock but great!

Oh, and Wildhearts version of White Christmas.

That's a brilliant track, one of Hanoi's best.

Another good one is 'Red Water (Christmas Mourning)' by Type O Negative. Great lyrics.

Stiff Little Fingers - White Christmas.

Shut up Aava.

Wha? You shut up!
I?m sorry, if i?m faster than you are.

The SLF version is better, They're from Belfast you see. BELFAST!

And does that make them somehow special.

That makes them better.

Hey Santa- Bowser and Blue

Merry Christmas (I don't wanna fight tonite) by the ramones

My favorite Christmas song is AC/DC's Mistress for Christmas

I've gotta hear that Hanoi song...

The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)
Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
The Kinks - Father Christmas
Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
The Smashing Pumpkins - Christmastime

Do check it out. Here's a snippet from an interview where Axl mentions the song:

RIP: Remember when you actually moved into The Record Plant and set up camp?

AXL: There was no heat in that room. It was a cold, lonely place, but it was the only place I could stay to keep myself in the work. It was cool looking, but it was dark, cold and weird. It got to the point that certain people could tell just by the way I was talking, the tone of my voice, that l wasn't right. A friend brought by some Christmas presents. Another flew out unannounced and stayed with me Christmas Day, because they were very worried that I wasn't going to make it through. I couldn't leave the studio, but I couldn't go back to my condo because of my neighbor. That was a nightmare. It was also wild, because these people didn't know anything about the Christmas before, when was driving to your house, trying to find someone with dope on the way because l wanted to OD. I could always relate to the Hanoi Rocks song "Dead by Christmas." It's been two Christmases since then, though, and this past one was probably the nicest I've had in 29 years

'Thank god it's Christmas' - Queen
'Another Lonely Christmas' - Prince

George Thorogood - Rock N' Roll christmas.

a christmas song, Thorogood style

White Christmas - Axl Rose/Hollywood Rose

not sure witch one but im pretty sure it's Hollywood Rose.  : ok:

no, its not :p its someone else....

those fuckers uses fake names on their songs.... !  :peace:

Savatage - Christmas Eve from Dead Winter Dead album (it was an unexpected radio hit)
In fact, you can listen to the Transiberian Orchestra's albums.
I wonder if this rock opera style has something to with Chinese Democracy  :yes:.
Although it's something that has been done again and used in the past unsuccesfully.

It's the Wildhearts.

It sounds so much like Axl though.

The versions of "White Christmas" supposedly by GN'R and The Wildhearts are both fakes.

The GN'R one has been disputed for a while..it's just some piss-poor Axl impersonator. The Wildhearts never covered it either - I believe I read it on their official site at one time.

They're both cool versions, but neither one is by who the supposed artist is.

Yea this song is awesome, video is funny as hell too.

Billy Squier "Christmas is a time to say I love you" is awesome too.

You beat me to it...

Gilby Clarke - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) - The Darkness
Lonely This Christmas - Mud

Decided to drag this thread up from a year ago because Xmas is coming and I wanted to make a album of rock Christmas songs.......

Yelling At the Christmas Tree- Billy Idol

xmas time (dont let the bell end)- the Darkness
So here it is (Merry xmas)- Slade

Adam Sandler - The Chanukah Song

Trans Siberian Orchestra

Warrant - Father Christmas       
Enuff Z'Nuff - Happy Holiday       
L.A. Guns - Run Run Rudolph

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (war is over)

Does anyone know a good rock rendition of "Little Drummer Boy"?

Elvis Presley - Winter Wonderland  ;D

i was looking for the title of the pearl jam christmas song..  i figure its time to revisit this topic.. anyone have any new suggestions of rock christmas songs?

within temptation - gothic christmas
it's a pretty funny song made for a laugh. it's quite nice

Bon Jovi's "I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas" and "Please Come Home For Christmas" (yes, the video featuring Cindy Crawford :yes:)

I think both songs are from the early 90's.

The guys in the band have also done renditions of a lot of Christmas songs.

Just getting ready to post that but u beat me too it.


Elvis' "Blue Christmas" is so fuckin sad. I was a lone one christmas and listened to that and cried for like an hour.

these has prolly already been said but if not, listen to these:
the darkness - christmas time (don't let the bells end)
ramones - merry christmas
cowboy timmy - mr hankey the christmas poo
mr garrison - merry fuckin christmas
wednesday 13 - buried by christmas

 : ok: :hihi: :yes: :headbanger:

the darkness christmas song.

and twisted sisters christmas album.

Ten Benson - Black snow

Christmas with The Devil by the greaetest fake/real rock band SPINAL TAP..

Dam I need to find that HAnoi Rocks Song.

I know this was posted a while back, but no one answered... Bob Seger did a good one.  Also, David Bowie and Bing Crosby did a medley with Little Drummer Boy and Peace on Earth together.

I suggest the Gary Hoey collections (Ho Ho Hoey) or Merry Axemas compilations for awesome instrumental versions of Christmas songs.

Oh, and nobody mentioned Christmastime is Here Again by the Beatles.

Finally, there's a kick ass Paul Di'anno version of Garry Glitter's Another Rock N' Roll Christmas.
