Note: Gary Hoey is one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived (errrr, he is still living though) and if you love the guitar and love Christmas music and love guitar Christmas music then you'll love this release. It is guitar rock, baby. There are no vocals. This is pure guitar and Gary Hoey at work. He really is amazing and these songs really show off his skill and range. Crank it up. Wake the neighbors. -Big Papi  By Hellion Zephreid Quote:
I have been aboard for the entire HO HO Hoey series, 1, 2, & 3. Then came along "The Best of Ho Ho Hoey" with 1 or 2 new songs that weren't on the other discs so yes I had to buy it. When looking through a Best Buy store, I found this 2 CD set which includes almost every song from the 3 but not quite. A few omissions but still a "fun" Christmas record at a great price with a few "new" tunes. I have noticed the trend of bands like (Chicago, Brian Setzer, Martina McBride, etc.) to just re-release the old Christmas season discs a year or 2 later with 1 or 2 new songs instead of recording at least an EP of new music and releasing that instead. It makes a fan a little bitter and resentful that to get the new tunes, you have to shell out cash for an album you already have. Don't worry, by Christmas next year or 2006, another version of this will be released. Aside from all that, most of these songs rock and you get a lot of fun instrumental renditions of classic Christmas songs, my favorite being, "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch". This is at a great price so get it before they disappear. Someone please stop this re-releasing though, record and release a new full length instead and stop screwing the fans of your music! I don't want to fail to mention that He plays all of the instruments on this except for drums on a couple of tracks, woah!
