Gary Hoey or Trans-Siberian Orchestra? - papercup - 12-17-2008
Officially sick of the classics.
TSO gets a little dry after awhile, Ho-Ho-Hoey is good after a few drinks (like about now:drink

Cool.
The Merry Axemas Vol 1 & 2 CDs ain't bad either...heard 'em at a friend's house once.

Between the two choices, I'd pick TSO.
Maybe this is too classic for your mood, but Nat King Cole goes great for chilling with some pre-Christmas cocktails.

Love all the eighties stuff (Waitresses, Pretenders...even Geddy Lee)
Brian Setzer stuff is good for a change. Squirrel Nut Zippers in small quantities.

Some how I have never seen Gary Hoey live, even though he's from 'my neck of the woods'.
He is on my list of who I gotta go see.
Last year I did see TSO. Great BIG show. I mean big in volume, lights, fire, lasers and length of show.
First 1 1/2 hours were all Christmas tunes, took a ten or fifteen minute intermission, sort of, they were talking, etc. to the audience, then another 1 1/2 hours of remakes from several ages and genres.
If it's either/or, I guess it's big production vs. intimate settings and up close and personal. Otherwise go see both!
