[Mr Walker]

I wonder if 'Christmas Ride' will be on this one.

[binnie]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



What a terrible, terrible idea.

[sonrisa salvaje]

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

[Mr Walker]

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

[WACF]

This will be....interesting....weird....but interesting...

[Seshmeister]

Other songs to be included

"The 12 gays of Christmas"

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.

[Mr Walker]

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

[chefcraig]

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:

[Hardrock69]

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".

[binnie]

Exactly Hardrock, exactly.

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

[Diamondjimi]

What next, a gay pride album?

[sonrisa salvaje]

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

Whoa. Now that about sums it up right there.

[Seshmeister]

Peck his balls then suck his lolly
Tra la la la la la la la la

[Mr. Vengeance]

I mean, I thought the apocalypse was upon us when Bob Dylan announced he was releasing a Christmas album. Now Rob Halford???

[Seshmeister]

Oh god fist me merry gentlemen

[DavidLeeNatra]

next year he will do a gospel album:

"Oh happy gays!"

[Mr. Vengeance]

Talk about don we now our gay apparel...

[Mr Walker]

I mean, I thought the apocalypse was upon us when Bob Dylan announced he was releasing a Christmas album. Now Rob Halford???


I believe that Iggy Pop is releasing one as well.

[Hellraiser!!]

Yes I heard amething about Iggy too....and we can't forget Twisted Sister released that Christmas album a few years ago.....

Maybe this will surprise me a lot....cause my expectations are low.....even though Christmas Ride is pretty cool!

[Mr. Vengeance]

Christmas Ride....Just far too easy.

[GAR]

What next, a gay pride album?

I thought you'd like that..

[FORD]

Halford is friends with Pansy Division. Maybe he was inspired to do this by their single "Homo Christmas"??

[Hardrock69]

mmmmkay.

You can download the single "Christmas For Everyone" for free here (http://www.halfordmusic.com/content/static/index.html), at Halford's site.

Here is "We Three Kings", which has some smokin' guitar parts.

[Satan]

Shouldn't it be "We Three Queens"? http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/teufel/d025.gif

[Satan]

The other single from the album - this one seems a bit less Christmassy (which is fine by me, of course) http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/teufel/d025.gif

Sounds like you wrote lyrics for Dokken.

[Hellraiser!!]

Not that bad....We three Kings and Get into the Spirit are amazing Power Metal songs, Roy Z did a great guitar job.

But Winter Songs sounds too popppy and weird with those eletronic drums...
