From The Comments: 'Winter Wonderland (Live)' - Stryper Style

Since Metalboy! mentioned his preference for the Stryper version of "Winter Wonderland" in yesterday's comments section, I decided to look the tune up. Even better, here's a live version of the song when Stryper played for a big crowd in Puerto Rico back in 2003.

It's a crazy good performance and a tolerable use of a Christmas song. Merry Christmas eve, everyone!

'All I Want for Christmas Is You' - Hair Metal Version?

Nick Harrison posts all kinds of content on his socials, switching up styles of songs to other genres. Just in time for the holiday season, he made a hair metal version of Mariah Carey's hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Gotta say, it's pretty good. It really starts rocking around the one minute mark - some signature hair metal high notes there! What do you think?

More Details On Jack Russell Tribute

The public memorial for late Great White singer Jack Russell is set for January 14, 2025 at the Whisky-A-Go-Go.

A few more musicians have been announced including Nate Peck, the singer of Firehouse. Peck is in his 20s and Russell was his musical idol, so his performance should be a nice tribute. General admission tickets are $35 and the money supports Lewy Body Dementia, which Russell had.

I love cats so calling an album Leopard Skin is pretty cool! L.A. Guns will release that new album next year and hit the road in support of the new work, too. I hope Ohio gets dates in the second leg.

'Run Rudolph Run' - The Philly Specials & Bon Jovi

Here's a new holiday tune for you: Jon Bon Jovi has teamed up with The Philly Specials for a cover of "Run Rudoplh Run." The song was originally recorded by Chuck Berry in 1958 and it is one of the most remade Christmas tunes of all time.

Puritanical - 'All I Want For Black Mass'

Just in case you were in the mood for the some black Metal Christmas-type music. Puritanical has got your back with a video for "All I Want For Black Mass." I have to admit, I chuckled. The song is part of a three tune EP called Through the Snows by the indie act.

'Horizon' - New Nickelback Video

At 10 am ET, Nickelback premiered a video for their latest single "Horizon." The track is on the album Get Rollin.'

Honestly I was surprised to see another video for this latest album since it has been out for over a year, but I don't think the same rules apply in the music industry anymore. When you have as much money and fame as Nickelback, you can do whatever you want basically.

"Horizon" is a classic-type Nickelback song with a slower tempo and catchy hooks. It's good.
