1 - Lemmy Kilmister, Billy F. Gibbons, Dave Grohl

This song is in my opinion a MUST as the opening for this series. "Run, Rudolph, Run", sometimes referred to as "Run, Run, Rudolph", is a Christmas song popularized by the legendary rocker Chuck Berry back in 1958.


Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead), Billy Gibbons (ZZ-Top), and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) got together for the 2008 album "We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year" to make their version of the song, and this is the result:

These guys surely need no further introduction, but since I was happy to find a nice photo shoot for the Musician's Friend 2008 Christmas catalog with Billy "Santa Claus" Gibbons I give that one to you too:

And Dave Grohl reading "The Night Before Christmas":

Aah, what joy, what a wonderful sentimental feeling this rocker can give us! Nearly got tears in my eyes.

Lemmy, by the way, is born on Christmas Eve in 1945. Way To Go!
