I might agree with this if they weren't currently playing Hell On Earth at every show.

I'd rank this one just above Sad Wings, even with Killing Machine. Like all 70s Priest it contains an unfortunately thin guitar and drum sound and Halford takes way too many insanely wacky vocal liberties throughout. Something about the production of Halford's vocals really irks me on these...

The first battle all comes down to which goofy voice I can take seriously and the answer is neither. I guess I’ll vote for Sentenced because no Mickey. Lateralus tries to teach us advanced algebra, Killed By Death reminds us that 2+2=4. Tool also take us on a journey, Motörhead sound like they...

I love The Spirit Carries On, despite all of its cheesy lameness. The solo is one of the most beautiful musical moments in all of prog. But can I reasonably argue that it is a better song than Bohemian Rhapsody? I can not. Jesus Built My Hotrod is a joke, right? It’s like a South Park song...

Count me in the "overrated" camp for this one, too. Victim of Changes is a perfect continuation from Rocka Rolla that goes so much farther than you would expect. It's a complete surprise while also being incredibly comfortable. Then, The Ripper tears the fucking walls down and is one of the...

Absolutely. I’m Captain of the Downtune Now! campaign, but the guy is clearly sick. The highs are the first thing that go when you have a cold/flu/sinus infection. Maybe let’s give him a round of applause for still putting on such a spirited performance while ill?

:D :applause: :cheers::D:nana::okok::clap::yey:

I'm very glad you voted for Armored Saint, but... Say whaaaaaaat?! I would never describe Joey Vera's bass tone as "soft" or "neutered". Compressed here, sure, but you can actually hear the bass, which is more than can be said of half the bands in the game. Those octave jumps in the intro are...

I don’t enjoy this Slipknot song and I don’t enjoy this Ozzy song. Generally, I’d vote for Ozzy in something like this, but his performance is terrible here (especially those echoed lines at the end) and the instrumental does not mesh with the lyrics at all. You’ve got lyrics about suicide and...

Count me in the half that ranked Angel of Retribution very highly (number 4!). No way was that accurate after this relisten, but it is an incredibly consistent album and I find it more memorable than Mosh. One thing of note, besides the production being pretty solid, is that the guitar leads...

True, but also Maiden has a different backdrop/stage set/lighting plan for each song in the set. Bruce is playing on a bare stage with no pomp.

Very curious to see if anything changes on the first night of the US tour, considering it’s technically the “Invincible Shield” tour and the one that ended last week was the “Metal Masters” tour.

The Wizard begins with a lengthy harmonica intro and, as such, should be disqualified. Also, it’s just not a very good song. Ozzy sounds tentative as hell and it’s a complete tonal whiplash from the superb, genre-breaking album opener. Antithesis of Light wears out its welcome very, very...

Bruce needs it to be there if you want to hear the final 6 songs of the night.

They could legitimately release this recording. The sound is absolutely great for a live recording. I have never said this of any other band I love, but I really wish they'd stop releasing new original material and just make another Garage, Inc every 4-5 years. Their covers are better.

Things I did not know before this post: - Manilla Road’s lead singer passed way. - He called himself “The Shark”. I think the vocal melodies in Necropolis are great, but it’s ok to criticize flaws. The performer being deceased doesn’t change my opinion, but glad it works for some people...
