MisterMcLov1n Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have been given the task of assembling a Christmas-themed mix CD for the family's Christmas traveling. I decided to throw together a mix of Christmas songs covered by unlikely artists. I was wondering- did Led Zeppelin ever perform a Christmas-themed song live? I know their catalog of covers is quite diverse. Also, are there any other well-known and unlikely metal artists that have covered Christmas songs live or in the studio?

ninelives Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Don't know about Zep but Robert sang "Santa Claus Is Back In Town" on Saturday Night Live in 1984 I think as well as with Priory of Brion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickTangerine Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Erm, I think there was a brief clip of some Christmas song ( can't remember for the life of me), Rudolph maybe, but anyway. There was a brief like a brief 3 seconds of Page singing (?) and playing it before That's The Way in Osaka 1971, the concert when they played Friends Sorry, that's all the help I can give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_zeppelin94 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Good luck with that... A few years ago, a lot of metal guys made a Christmas album. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Sebastain Bach, Judas Priest I think... Dio & Alice maybe, can't really remember. It's "Metal Christmas" I think. Dont know about Zep, but hope that album helps.

zdr Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I found once on YT a Christmas parody to D'yer Maker, but now the link is gone. It was hilarious. And well done. It began with "Ho..ho-ho ho-ho-ooo" instead of "oh oh-oh oh-oh-ooo" ("Twisted Chritsmas - Sled Zeppelin By Sirema For My Dady ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargroves Tangie Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Rob Halford of Judas Priest just released an album called "Winter Songs" which has some traditional Christmas songs on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Zeppelin performed The Nutrocker during No Quarter at some shows in '77. Sam_Webmaster had one up on the front page of the website during the holidays a couple of years ago. Might try sending him a pm. #evsbeer# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
