Ripper Owens (Yngwie Malmsteen/ Beyond Fear / Judas Priest/Iced Earth): "Well, this might be the most metal X mas moment!! But I did get some bad gifts in the past, My Aunt Becky would always give me some kind of board game, and it was one you never heard of, some cheap discount stupid game, every year.. Socks please, not another damn board game."

Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot): "A dancing, singing Elvis Presley. It was clearly not the 'King' of gifts. I took it out back and shot it when the ON/OFF switch broke and it wouldn't stop singing 'Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog.....'"

Geoff Tate (Queensryche): "My worst Christmas gift ever was a 'potty putter'.... a golf set for practicing you putting while using the toilet."

Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio): "A push bike when I was 7 years old. It arrived without handle bars, ouch!!"
