Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot): "The track I played on is the traditional 'O CHRISTMAS TREE' and handled in a most untraditional manner. The lovely Doro Pesch did a wonderful Doro-esque vocal, the mighty Michael Schenker performed his inimitably and wonderful guitar wizardry, Tony Franklin was at his 'Fretless Monster' best and yours truly pounded out the holiday cheer behind my Ludwig drums. Remember 'HM' stands for HEAVY METAL as well as HOLIDAY MAYHEM!'"

Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio) (he plays on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and " Rocking Round the Xmas Tree"): "The tracks were great. When you are surrounded by such brilliant musicians, it's an honor and a lot of fun."
