Same here! I used Longsword the entire game last time so I'm using the Claymore this time around.

I've gone for the first song in every round this time.

I missed the voting for this one but they've mostly gone how I would have voted with the exception of Priest VS FNM.

Avantasia may be a pile of cheese, but I'd argue Freak on a Leash is the entire platter.

Man, I'd hate to be the idiot who nominated whatever poor song is up against Heaven and Hell.

Priest, Rainbow, KISS, Scorpions, DIO, Anthrax.

I buy all of my running shoes from Mizuno; they tend to be a wider fit which I need, whereas Nike shoes are too tight and have caused me multiple injuries in the past.

Currently working on two things to improve my running: 1 - weight loss - I am carrying around far, far more than I need to so I am in the process of dieting to reduce this. Very positive results for the first week and it feels sustainable so far. 2 - cadence - for most runs my cadence settles...

Defenders of the Faith should have been #3, because it has by far the worst song of the last three (Eat Me Alive). Painkiller is a fantastic album (even the bonus track is incredible) and I hope it's #1.

Of the really popular 80s songs, it's by far the one that sounds most similar to Maiden so I'm a bit baffled by this gatekeeping too.

I agree with this to a degree, especially in the first half of the album, but the second half is much more adventurous.

There are at least 3 of us!

Love Bites is a fantastic song. Eat Me Alive is a complete embarrassment, for me the biggest sonic turd the band has squeezed out over their entire career. I'm astounded that you've put them on par.

I'm really liking the new album so far. It has a lot of range, and goes to some places I wouldn't expect - particularly on Gods In Decay and Give It Up Or Give It All, which are early picks for my favourite songs here. Seeking Vengeance is probably my least favourite track, though I don't mind...

Unleash the Archers - Gods in Decay Instant favourite from their new album!

New album is out tomorrow. I really like 3/4 of the singles released so far (less keen on Seeking Vengeance).

I agree on the remaining top three. For me the order goes: 1 - Painkiller 2 - Screaming for Vengeance 3 - Defenders of the Faith

Is it too on the nose to say I hate Radiohead, but don't mind Creep?

There is at least one song in every single one of these matchups that I'd choose over Ghost of Perdition.

A little late in replying to this but I do feel obligated to point out the irony in you taking this stance in this particular matchup given that: a) I have not once dismissed a band because it's "not metal"; b) I voted against my own nomination here in favour of the classic band. :p
