Hallowed vs Holy Wars vs Master of Puppets vs Painkiller

[MrK]

Hallowed is my favorite, Holy Wars is the best song, Master of Puppets is the most popular, and Painkiller has the most falsetto. This should be four polls.

 

[Stardust]

None of these songs are masterpieces.

 

[Collin]

None of these songs are masterpieces.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

None of these songs are masterpieces.

This. But Holy Wars is probably closest.

And seriously, Painkiller has awesome guitars, but the vocals are hilarious and I don't mean that in a good way.

 

[Diesel 11]

Anyone who thinks the vocals are hilarious shouldn’t be allowed to speak about vocals ever again. They are some of the best in history and hard as FUCK to pull off properly.

 

[Number 6]

I mean, I try not to speak about vocals because I don't know much about singing, but to say that the vocals in "Painkiller" are bad in any kind of way is just... nope.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Judas said they were hilarious. You two diddies don't know what your talking about. Just look at Judas' dating advise. Man knows his stuff...

 

[Stardust]

It took me a immensely long time to actually tolerate Painkiller's vocals. And still after all this time, I think they sound like angry Bee Gees.

Halford vocals is the Painkiller in my ears.
Holy wars is close to the perfection
Master of Puppets is good but not great
Hallowed be thy name is my fav of the 4(for everything, structure of the song lirically and musically, sound, production, skills and innovation of the band) and It's not even in my Maiden top 20 but is better than the other bands

LOL hahah

The way Halford utilizes high notes and mixes in a dash of harshness is terrific. I’m so disappointed in you all.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Stick it on a list.

 

[Fudgeclank]

@LooseCannon just ban me already so I don't have to read anymore of this Halford bashing.

Spoiler

Please don't, this forum is all I have.

Painkiller simply defines a genre.

 

[karljant]

Angel of Death.

If AOD or War Ensemble was featured on the pole it would be a virtual tie with Painkiller as far as I'm concerned.

 

[karljant]

"Painkiller" is a song I could probably give an 11 to.

11 is not enough

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

Definitely had a laugh at the vocals the first time I heard Painkiller. Definitely a good song but the vocals are indeed interesting.
Hallowed
Holy Wars
Puppets
Eardriller

 

[Collin]

Hallowed
Painkiller
Holy Wars
Master Of Puppets

They're all really good songs. Each of them in the same godlike tier.

 

[WildRanger]

All these 4 songs are generally considered the top-tier metal songs, but this is an order of my preference:
1. Hallowed
2. Holy wars
3. Painkiller
4. Master

I'm surprised to see that MOP only got one vote .
