Song Survivor - Metallica - Ride the Lightning round 1

[HamburgerBoy]

So, ah, Metallica aye?

Yes, Load was a pretty good, especially like the back side of that one

Nice "tough stickers" Tech.

 

[no country for old wainds]

not a difficult round. ‘escape’ is a worthless song and probably the worst on their first four, i hate to go all tech barb but voting some of the others over it is revealing of some stupendously shitty taste. ‘trapped’ is slightly more understandable to save because of the fucking great bridge, but the rest is pretty mediocre. get ‘em gone.

This is a bit hyperbolic, but agree that Escape is clearly the weakest song on the album.

 

[Allfader]

Trapped Under Ice rules but it won't survive this round. Fade to Black and the title track are weaker songs IMO.

[Burkhard]

best songs on the album are Fight Fire With Fire, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black and Creeping Death

That would have been my choice about 34 years ago and it is still the same today.

The only no-brainer for me in this round was "Escape". It was a tough decision between "The Call of Ktulu" and "Trapped Under Ice", but I eventually picked the latter.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Hetfield even admitted Escape was an afterthought written in the studio because they needed one more song.

 

[jimmy101]

Love that section of Trapped Under Ice when Hetfield sings "Scream from my soul..." & the overall intensity of the song. Otherwise it was lucky not to get my vote.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Voted for Trapped Under Ice and Escape, tbh there might be one song among the others I like less than Trapped Under Ice (which is pretty cool) but I don't have time to sit through the album right now and I wanted to see everyone else's votes.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Trapped Under Ice is cool but it’s the only song on the album that sounds like it could be on Kill Em All.

"Fight Fire with Fire" is kinda that too.

 

[Satanstoenail]

"Fight Fire with Fire" is kinda that too.

Nah. Way too heavy.

 

[jimmy101]

Fight Fire with Fire isn't all that dissimilar to Metal Militia.

 

[CiG]

Nah. Way too heavy.

lol.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

it’s the only song on the album that sounds like it could be on Kill Em All.

and that's supposed to be a negative or something?

 

[Satanstoenail]

lol.

I'll give you lol upside your ear in a minute

and that's supposed to be a negative or something?

It means it fits less on the album than other songs you daft fuck.

You're just an idiot for implying nonsense like that. First off no, it doesn't sound like something that belongs on Kill Em All, but i dont blame you since all that ecstasy you dropped at those raves you used to go to probably melted your brain. And that should definitely not be a reason for someone to vote out a song especially when they don't think its a negative.
