ESPN Bowl Games Music (Carol of Bells)

ESPN has been playing music going to commericals on their bowl games and in previews for the games. I think the song is called “Carol of Bells”. Can anybody confirm this? Does anybody know who performs the version ESPN plays? It sounds like there is an electric guitar.

Oh, and down goes Texas.

I don’t know the ESPN spots to which you refer. However, I do know that a very rock sounding version of Carol of the Bells is quite popular this time of year. It is performed by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It is allegedly Metallica providing the rock edge to this particular tune.

Great tune, btw.
