Slap that axe, boy-o, it’s twelve the twenty-fifth! Left-handed, right-handed… let’s go! …no, wait, wait, wait. First we have to acquire one:
Randy Franklin wants a “Guitar for Christmas,” but his dad rock is so calcified we might wanna check the naughty list twice.
William Baron also declares “I Want a Guitar for Christmas.” Still pokey, but pretty awesome vocals.
Max Benitz is so focused he is unplugged and folk with his need for a “New Guitar for Christmas.” He describes it; it’s the one in the pawn shop window. Poor guy.
The Stompers are a bit slick with “All I Want for Christmas is a Rock n Roll Guitar.” Doesn’t sound like they need one.
Joernsson Overdrive brings the funk rock with ’70s electronica to his wish for you… and a “New Guitar for Christmas.” Bring your disco shoes.
Watkins & the Rapiers don’t just want a guitar for Christmas, they want a “Big Guitar.” Groovy rock, makes me want to listen to ‘Tommy’ again.
Bob Wire and Chip Whitson toss blues against the rock and most of it sticks for their wanting a “Guitar for Christmas.” Good club sound.
Trey Stone & The Ringers beg “Santa, Please Bring Me a Guitar.” Adorably, each member of the band asks for a different instrument. More blues rock, Americana style.
“All I Want For Christmas Is An Acoustic Guitar (1-2-3-4)” in a bizarre twist is EDM from TDJ. It’s more about the drug experience. Not so much about the guitar.
The classically novel “Santa Claus” also asks for a guitar, but we’re including it ’cause Wild Billy Childish & The Musicians Of The British Empire punk it up just right.
Garage rock by its nature is more earnest, less polished. So i believe in The Pink Flamingos’ “Mama, for Christmas I Want a Guitar.” The talent shines through the roughness and the message is thereby elevated. According to me.
