    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 16-21

    I didn't even notice a difference. Both are equally annoying.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 16-21

    I love Angry Again. Really good Megadeth deep cut that has a catchiness to it that surpasses a great deal of their other ‘90s output. Nothing against Angel Witch, but they’re heavily outgunned here. Mandatory Suicide has the advantage of being on one of Slayer’s few good albums, but Halford’s...

    I remember seeing them play it during the early '2000s "World Needs a Hero" tour, and it was great. Very underrated and catchy tune.

    A round where I know a song in every match but one! Huzzah!

    Didn’t get a chance to vote in this round, but the only song I really care about here is Dream Theater’s. @LooseCannon if you need a tie breaker for the sixth match, Priest.

    Official MLB baseball thread.

    That’s pretty cool. Go Rangers and Guardians! It’d be pretty funny if the Astros lost.

    Is Judas Priest's entire discography in this game?

    Beyond the Realms of Death is a solid classic Priest track, wheras I don’t care much for Megadeth’s debut in general. Skull Beneath the Skin has some sweet aggressive riffs, but it’s just not as cohesive as Priest’s tune. I do love that bass fill in the middle, though. Blackened is a top-shelf...

    Nothing particularly horrible about Gamma Ray’s effort here, other than it being rather generic double bass-running power metal with few dynamics. Not my bag. Welcome to the Jungle is simply a catchier, better-written song. Guns ‘n Roses. Lol, Megadeth and it isn’t even close. Hangar 18 is a...

    I’m no Ozzy Sabbath fan, but it’s hard not to vote for them here. Hendrix is fine, but he can’t compare in this case. Sabbath. Gee, Megadeth’s “breakthrough” pop metal hit or a middle-tier song by the masters of progressive power metal? I heard Holy Wars… the Punishment Due earlier today, which...

    Metallica

    Thanks for the link. Regardless of how “bad” the band and friends thought these lost songs were, I have a hard time believing that they were worse than the disaster that is St. Anger. Kirk saying that they were “melodic” is the icing on the cake. Also, while Lars always looks irritating, his...

    Oh look, we have Hansi wailing again, presumably about elves or elvenish creatures. Maybe trolls? No matter. Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Smooth Criminal is solid, but it can’t match Blind Guardian’s layering. And there are a lot of layers. Symphony X may be my favorite band in the whole wide...

    I’ve never liked System of a Down, although this song is better than most. However, it still has morose verses and a (to be expected) obnoxious chorus. On the other hand, nothing about The Who’s song is metal in the slightest. Yes, the bass playing is awesome, but the vocal stuttering is just as...

    I didn’t get a chance to post about it, but that last Ozzy song was actually decent. I was just going to say how strong this one was. Mostly killer, probably a little filler. Definitely far stronger than last round.
