        It definitely isn't something that should be called Halford 3. Probably should be called "Santa Clause is Coming, But Not Neccessarily To Town."

          Wonder if this will be in stores or if I should just buy it from his web-site.

                And of course...

                Seriously though, if this projected is attempted with some sincerity and dignity, it could be quite interesting. Sure, you can take the concept as a joke like Twisted Sister did a few years ago, but even then it turned out kinda cool. Looking forward to hearing this.

                  Halford singing 'O Holy Night' is gonna sound awesome... I hope it doesn't disappoint.

                    Whoa, check out this brief promo! No vocals, but the music sounds terrific.

                      You know... one could almost say that doing a Christmas album is gay, but...

                      Cheers! :bottle:

                        Some time ago, back in February, suddenly Halford had a "President's Day Sale".

                        What a load of shit.

                        Is he so desperate now that he has to put out a fucking Christmas record?

                        What the fuck is next?

                        Presenting the "HEY IT'S TUESDAY SALE!"

                        Is he going to do like Kiss and start whoring himself out on all kinds of stupid shit like coffins and toilet paper?

                        I woulda thought he would have more integrity than that.

                        To give him some credit, hey if he is into Christmas that much, and the music is good, then more power to him.

                        I personally find it quite ridiculous.

                        Next thing you know it will be "Halford sings the Great American Songbook". Or "Halford - The Country Album".

                          Exactly Hardrock, exactly.

                          Halford needs to get some perspective - I'd take "Two: 2" over this.

                              Whoa. Now that about sums it up right there.
