When I was a kid,, my mom used to cringe at the sight of Twisted Sister. But, the year this album was released; she requested it for a Christmas present because she liked how Dee Snyder sang this song. Of course, the family hurried to get it for her. My mom had been sick for quite a while, and this turned out to be her last Christmas with us. Just hearing this again brings back some warm memories.
It's nice that the melody and rhythm for We're Not Gonna Take It was reused for their cover of this carol (maybe it was vice versa, not sure). I like musical similarities, especially like this type that actually get acknowledged by the authors.
OH MY GOD I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!! I heard the tail end of this on the radio last Christmas and was in love with it, but couldn't find it! Fucking FINALLY, a Christmas song I can stand!
Apparently the tune for this hymn was the inspiration for tune used in "We're not going to take it" So its more using the inspired tune for the song of the original inspiration ;) (try saying that fast)
@UKLegendUK It's a lot of fun to listen to. My house isn't too traditional about holiday music so having rock and metal bands come out with their versions was perfect. Happy Holidays!
Don't listen to those who say Christians can't be metalheads or goth. Especially when they incorrectly define the lifestyle. Goth is based on fashion, plain and simple. The fashion is a dark reflection of the person most of the time. Some are kids who've been through hell in their short years on Earth. Some are just whiny little pussies. Jesus said that "those who are well do not need a Physician". He rejoices most over those who are lost and are then found. Don't base what you think on TV.
@jcap387 If you actually sing we're not gonna take it and sing oh come all ye faithful (not necessarily this version) you'll see it's the same vocal melody.
Mariah and Alicia release updated versions of classic songs. Much like this band. Don't diss them because it's not hardcore. If it wasn't classic sounding songs, tracks like these wouldn't happen.

Thats beautiful
Thanks so much! I wish you a wonderful Christmas also. :-)
May you have a wonderful Christmas. God rest your mom's soul. XOXOXO
Thanks :-)
Yeah, I really like this version of the song, too. It's exciting.
The true meaning of Christmas, brought to you by Twisted Sister...how awesone is that?!
This is the “Die Hard” of songs. It’s a Christmas song, but awesome enough to be played year round.
Excellent metaphor!!
Merry metal Christmas. December 2019!
🤘
My mother loved the way twisted sister did this song.. GOD THE ALMIGHTY she is with now forever more
'We're Not Gonna Take It' solo in the middle of the song! Awesome.
Awesome
I played this album on Christmas morning... My neighbors didn't appreciate it.
Twisted sister..most epic band ever!! Twisted forever,forever twisted
This version kicks ass. Dee Snider does this tune justice
I loved this Songversion. Merry Rockn Rolling Christmas
"Word of the Father now in flesh appearing." Jesus is God incarnate.
Hear for first time tonight annnnnd smashing that replay button!!! Merry Christmas lads and lasses!!!! God bless us all!!
Played this song at my church. Was pretty sick as
Mid-summer salutations all ye steadfast
Headbangers.
I here cause He has made me glad.
🛡🗽🎸🛡
Argh! How will i ever be able to hear a normal Christmas song again?
This is so much better!
This sounds just like We're Not Gonna Take It
Purposeful
You think?
Michael linkovski - I believe the effect is called a contrafactum. Dee has cited the carol as a work of inspiration.
Low key, they just have the one song that they change slightly every time. But it’s an awesome song that they recycle!
Sam Houston 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Merry Christmas,miss you aj rip
The best TWISTmas song
Just found this by accident.. awesome !
I'm a Jew and I still love it
Rocky Graves and the GRIMMS thanks for killing our Lord and than coming back to listen to a song about him.
The singer is Jewish too.
This is 10 different forms of awesome.
It's nice that the melody and rhythm for We're Not Gonna Take It was reused for their cover of this carol (maybe it was vice versa, not sure). I like musical similarities, especially like this type that actually get acknowledged by the authors.
this song was released after we're not gonna take it
The melody for We're Not Gonna Take It was inspired by the Christmas carol. Duh.....
Best Rock Christmas album ever!
It's July, I'm a Jew, but this is still great
That's the SPIRIT! SHALOM!

OH MY GOD I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!! I heard the tail end of this on the radio last Christmas and was in love with it, but couldn't find it! Fucking FINALLY, a Christmas song I can stand!
Hey..it's December again..time to listen to Christmas songs!!
Christmas music I can listen to year around.
November 1! Time for Christmas songs
Great alternative to my favourite Christmas carol
Yo Twisted Sister Dudes. You All Rock.
Apparently the tune for this hymn was the inspiration for tune used in "We're not going to take it"
So its more using the inspired tune for the song of the original inspiration ;)
(try saying that fast)
We're not gonna take it, joyful and triumphant.
This guy has such an amazing voice, wow
@UKLegendUK It's a lot of fun to listen to. My house isn't too traditional about holiday music so having rock and metal bands come out with their versions was perfect. Happy Holidays!

@jcap387 All the music (especially the vocal melody) for We're Not Gonna Take It is actually based on the original "Oh Come All Ye Faithful".
think Dee can really sing great he is so underaded
I’m here in September rocking my Christmas socks off.
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!
I love this version! 3
Happy Holidays and a rocking new year!
This song rocks
I love this song
@LPFNRULE She has only one studio-recorded, officially released Christmas song. I don't see how that at all makes a point of anything.
a Cool, Rocken Version ! : )
I love how people have started listening to this Christams after Christams since it's came out xD
I remember when I first heard this song, I didn't recognize where the music from until the last part of the solo.
@wolfenstein161, nahhhh realllyyyy???
THIS IS THE ONLY XMAS MUSIC I CAN STOMACH!!! HELL YEAH!!!
Am I mistaken, did I hear Hava Nagila toward theend of the song?
Love this song

really sounds like we're not gonna take it
Happy christmas :P :P :D ...!!
How have I never heard this before? O.o
@Thewite1 If bieber disliked it, it DESERVES a thumbs up
@wolfenstein161 The riff on we're not gonna take it is from Oh Come all ye faithful.
love the music video so funney
damn :/ i wish i could rewind two months so i can play this at christmas dinner :c totally forgot it existed
I'M DOING THIS SONG FOR MY CHRISTMAS PROJECT
It just sounds like.we aren't going take it.lol love it
Sounds like we aren't going to take. Same music
@wolfenstein161 That was the exact point. They mixed both songs together and came up with this.
It sounds lika a Anthem!
Yes, i agree!
March 2nd 2020 anyone?????
@123Anthony45 They used the same music on purpose. I think they had written music for one song and thought it sounded good with the other.
love it
Twisted Sister: silver bells, Twisted Sister: oh come all ye faithful, Alice Cooper: Santa claws, Metallica Carol of the bells......HELL YA
I love it but my grandmother says its shame to christmas carols. 😀
Oh my goss.
@wolfenstein161 it is. its played the same way as were not gonna take it
we play this in my house at christmas
Wow that's really cool! Thanks for the info!
@wolfenstein161 No derp, dude. That's kinda why they made this.
@wolfenstein161 just the intro, then it goes into the song's music, but with a slight twist.
one month more!!!!
2 months more hehe
+Garplayer rollerstone 8 :)
We're NOT GONNA TAKE IT, NO WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT, hahah come one you can't tell me there is now similarites from this and were not gonna take it
@wolfenstein161 i think thats the hole point you know were not gonna take it christmas version
BRILLIANT
I want to see my own troll-face, when i play this at christmas :D
@jcap387 If you actually sing we're not gonna take it and sing oh come all ye faithful (not necessarily this version) you'll see it's the same vocal melody.
this is exactly like 'wer'e not gonna take it!'
No shit. You must be fun at parties
(The tune and song from the original Hymn)
agree!!!
Metal Carol
Where not going to take it. The same song
If you listen to both songs back to back, you'll realize they are quite different from each other. There are however, some similarities...
momma wouldn't let me buy this cause she said it was a disgrace to all Christmas carols!
UntitledxBeyond rude much
kill her gently? with merry-ness
Alcadera ;-)
Alcadera it's a joke
Josie Annabelle
sense of humor much
@LPFNRULE Since when does Alicia Keys make Christmas music?
@wolfenstein161 its the exact musical melody IT WORKS!
@wolfenstein161
Are the same notes.
Mariah and Alicia release updated versions of classic songs. Much like this band. Don't diss them because it's not hardcore. If it wasn't classic sounding songs, tracks like these wouldn't happen.
@wolfenstein161 : THat's the point Herr Wolfenstein.
