Christmas Album?

[kmorse]

What would an Arena Christmas album consist of?

Maybe one selection could be

"Guide me to the Mistletoeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Okay, it's Turkey Day here in the States and I had some time to kill.

[Appelmoes??]

Oh, please, no Christmas album Although I believe Arena could do something very special. it's just something I can't connect with progmusic... But maybe I'm wrong...

(BTW, overall... I hate christmas songs... Specially when you are hearing them before Sinterklaas...)

[kmorse]

Have you ever heard Jethro Tull's Christmas album? It's not too bad. It might be more aimed at the market in America, where we've just made a complete hash of Christmas. Today is the day we call "Black Friday" because many people have the day off and they start their shopping. And now some of the big retailers are staying open the day before, which is a national holiday, to get a jump on Black Friday. I don't go near the stores this weekend except to buy groceries.

God Almighty...

God Almighty...

And His son

And a Visitor from the Northpole...

Santa is just a cheap rip-off from Saint Nicholas!

Then i wonder what the story is about Zwarte Piet 
Rudolf, the black nose reindeer

Zwarte Piet is a rip-off from an old Norse mytholgie thingy, which the katholics used to give base to Saint Nicholas (Same as putting the christmas event in place of the shortest day celebration and thus cutting of heathen festivals. But we are getting waaaay offtopic here)

There, that's the spirit. On the other side of the holiday thing, it's no secret that Arena's lyrics touch on religious topics, too. Clive could have a field day with this.

And His son

Do me a lemon!  A christmas album??





Right.

Arena are a rock band, yeah?
<Yes, KBM, they are!>
Good.  Now realize that making a christmas album will make our beloved Arena look like some shite boy band!

I just know the guys wouldn't do it!

(I'm being Clive now)
Hell yeah! Great idea! We're on it!

"Crying Bells, Crying Bells, Crying all the way"

[keyboardistmatt]

At least I know that is not Clive!

[Saryna]

I think the song would be called,  "No, No no no no nono nooooo"



with sounds of a pinball machine in the background going, ' bing bing bing bing , tilt! tilt!'

Mmm... a Christmas album? So many possibilities... maybe just some small changes and we already have the material...?

From Songs, perhaps..... 'Valley of Three Kings'

Or from the Visitor.....'Pins and Pine Needles'
Come to that we could lighten up the tree theme for 'The Christmas Tree'

Of course From Immortal we could keep the snow and Ice image by changing the first track to 'Frozen'

Just a few thoughts.... A handfull of sleigh bells should do the rest...

Throw away my life in Hanging up my stockings 'bove the fireplace
With the old love letters milk and cookies
And the Nottingham laces childrens gazes
Trying to forget the give some warm embraces
Video Jummy suppers and the funny friendly faces.

Well Clive, here's a starter

If Arena ever lack inspiration, they can surely give you a call...

MAD.

P.S. What would the title be? Snowolon

Oh yes!! You're really good!! I'm laughing my socks off!!

I was thinking of making a topic where we all could transform a arena song into a christmarena song
Everybody would do 4 lines or so...
