Good to hear this updated shredder-tune done justice... I like this one even better than your previous one, although I notice you got a little confused near the end there and started playing some other shlocky xmas tune (smirk). Nice bass and guitar work there, and I like how you slice-n-diced the arrangement, kept my attention. Dragons love sticking their nose into the fire... here's wishing you a hot holiday! Thanks for the rocker!
ttfn,
Drakonis

YEEEESSSSS!
I have always been fond of your 2005 version... but thought that it could have been fleshed out a bit more. I am glad you re-visited this and made it longer, thicker and meatier!!! OK, I will stop with the adjectives now.

Oh, yeah,
this is what it is all about! I heard Twisted Sister do Oh Come All Ye Faithful... on Letterman, one night. You did this much better. They just screamed. Keep on. Yes. A whole album would sell. Thanks.
