Move Over KISS, Slayer Has Officially Sold Out! They Are Selling Christmas Ornaments! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Merch is a funny thing. Bands constantly push wares that people don't need (more t-shirts), while ignoring branding opportunities for necessaries. Slayer, however, does not make this mistake. The band likely enlisted armies of marketers and sweatshops to put its name on sundry items — woven blankets, beach towels, shot glasses, intimate clothing, even Christmas ornaments (oh, the irony).

lol, I ordered a pack online just to have it years ago.

Can't use it even if I wanted to since the expiration date has long passed.

Hey, if all the heavy metal bands came out with Christmas ornaments, one can make it a heavy metal Christmas tree!!

Nothing says Christmas like heavy metal!!

That does it. I'm gonna get myself a tree with Slayer ornaments this year.

Time for a metal tree (and not the tinfoil fake one either)!

Why stop there? You can wrap your Christmas presents with Iron Maiden wrapping paper!!

There's also a giant Eddie candle(but I think that would be more suited for Halloween!)

If you happen to be one of those people who like to bake during the holidays, there's the Queensryche cookie cutter!

Dream Theater also has a Christmas ornament. My brother got it for me last year for Christmas.

MERRY MAIDEN!!!!!!

I'm thinking the Queensryche cookie cutter looks like their distinctive talisman.

It is,

and I looked closer at the wrapping paper and, no big surprise, it's images of Eddie.

I chuckled when I saw that, though. The things these bands come out with. Even Dream Theater sells clocks & blankets!

You'll have to post pictures of your tree here come Christmas time.
