justcause Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The Green Days of Christmas: The Holiday Tribute to Green Day and ... And Christmas for All: The Holiday Tribute to Metallica performed by Santa Claws and the Naughty but Nice Orchestra, a Vitamin Records house band (both on Vitamin and in stores Tuesday)A pair of tribute albums that promise "the jingle of bells and horns" instead of "the fast licks of guitar solos," perfect for aging fans of both bands and, now that we think about it, aging members of both bands, too.Classics Covered (either album) Versions of "Jesus of Suburbia" (since he's the reason for the season) and "For Whom the Bell Tolls," cause it's got the word "bell" in the title: 2 points.Album Art Bad Santa + bad snowman + underwhelming design = 2 pointsWTF-ness: The whole tribute thing has been done to death, resurrected and then done to death again. But replacing Kirk Hammett's guitar solos with Santa-worthy sleigh bells is certainly a questionable call: one worth, say, 2 points. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1572396/20071019/id_0.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks for remindng me. I got an email about this from the record label who's putting these out. Here's what he saidI’m writing to let you know about a really cool Christmas tribute to Greenday that we are about to release. I want to send you a copy to check out. Likewise, I think it would be great if you could mention the CD on your site.The Green Day's of Christmas: The Holiday Tribute to Green Day“Sick of dreaming of a white Christmas? Ready to send Rudolph to a jingle jail? Or take a blow-torch to Frosty? Then these holiday versions of your favorite bands have been made especially for you. We’ve taken rock’s biggest and baddest songs and shaped them into Christmas instrumentals that would make Irving Berlin blush. This Christmas, ask for something that’s really gonna rock your bells.Have you been a bad boy or girl this year? Worried that Santa's going to bring you a bag of coal? Maybe he’ll bring you some dookie instead. Green Day's patented pop-punk is as timeless as any classic Christmas carol. These all-new holiday versions prove it. Instead of fast licks of guitar solos, you will be getting the jingle of bells and horns. From now on, you'll be singing about the Green Days of Christmas. “For more information and mp3 clips: http://www.vitaminrecords.com/web/page.asp...=26&id=1299They have previews of Good Riddance, Welcome to Paradise, and When I Come Around on that page.

justcause Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/...o+Green+Day.htmMore tracks on this link. I'm thinking of Billie Joe in BIAB, talking about JOS - as I recall, along with it being a song you couldn't just say you loved, you also shouldn't want to dance to it - I hope nobody puts this in his Christmas stocking!

*withoutadoubt* Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks for posting, Angeline. Not sure what I think - I hate hearing GD songs without the sweet sounds of what I really wanna hear in there. I guess if I was mall-shopping on December 20th, I would smile if I heard it on the loud speaker. The bells....? Ohhh, the bells. Lmao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yeah, they may be terrible covers of Green Day songs, but not bad Christmas songs. I'd rather hear that than one of the more annoying christmas songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
