Halloween was only a couple days in the past and we’ve nonetheless acquired a couple of weeks till Thanksgiving, however fuck it. Why don’t we simply take the vacation spirit out again and put a bullet in it with presumably one of many worst covers of an already infuriatingly ubiquitous Christmas music?

Not less than, that’s what I think about the mission assertion was when ex-Judas Priest vocalist Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens, ex-Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson, and ex-Weapons n’ Roses guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal acquired within the studio to document their completely cursed cowl of Mariah Carey’s “All I Need For Christmas Is You.”

Now, I don’t need you guys to assume that I’m simply dunking on this monitor for the sake of being a pessimistic fuck. There’s loads of different issues I might waste my time doing than being a joyless prick. However significantly — take a take heed to the monitor your self down under and inform me it’s not dangerous. I’ll wait.

The music was put collectively for a compilation of steel Christmas covers titled A Very Metallic Christmas. That assortment of covers, together with A Very Metallic Christmas II, function some main names within the rock and steel scene, together with Rainbow’s Graham Bonnet, Megadeth’s Chris Poland, King’s X’s Ty Tabor, Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy, Bulletboys’ Marq Torien, UFO’s Vinnie Moore, King Kobra’s Paul Shortino, Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes, George Lynch, Marty Friedman, Nice White’s Jack Russell, Vixen’s Janet Gardner, Angel’s Frank DiMino, and a bunch of different artists.

Hopefully the remainder of the songs on these two compilations are higher than the practice wreck that’s shared on the backside of this submit. This one’s a giant miss and truly kinda makes me wish to take heed to the unique model, which form of feels totally antithetical to a steel model being made.

In any case, in case you favored this and also you wish to discover out extra, you may order your copy of both A Very Metallic Christmas or A Very Metallic Christmas II as we speak.
