Two iconic metal songs from the same year, 1990.
What do you like better and why?

Holy Wars. Way more adventurous and interesting (though I like Painkiller a lot). I actually prefer Death’s cover of PK to the original

Painkiller is boring, Holy Wars is not.

This.

I do like Painkiller, but this is no contest. Not by a long shot.

Dave Mustaine is trash as a "singer" - only a fraction better than Axl Rose.

Painkiller is epic AF.


EDIT:  Is Holy Wars a song or an album?  I assumed this was an album poll.

This one is a song poll. Holy Wars is the first song from RIP.

Even though I don’t adore RIP like most others do, I think Holy Wars is the greatest thrash song ever recorded.

I'm not sure there's been a poll here that I've cared less about.  Flip a coin.  Have my dog pick.   Throw a dart.

Nah, that's not entirely true, but close:  With conscious thought, I pick Painkiller.

Then, oops.  I can still confidently pick Painkiller, though (even though it's not the best song on the album).

I'm a huge Judas Priest fan, but for me this was a very easy choice:  Holy Wars.  Not a close call at all.

I'm not a big fan of either band but there's a small percentage of material from both that I love.

Painkiller is completely perfect afaic.

Yep. Not a RiP fan at all, but god damn, what an opener. A great live opener, as well. Saw them bring the house down opening with that, H18, and Wake up Dead. I think the theme to Exodus was the intro music.

Painkiller, both the song and the album are overrated. One Shot at Glory is the only song from the album I really like, and Painkiller is only interesting live. It's one of the few songs Rob still sounds good on.

This is easily the biggest wtf moment I've ever had with you.  You might as well have asked who Andy Moog is. How is there any possible way you don't know who Norm Peterson is.  You're from Boston, ffs.

While Painkiller is a great song, HW... TPD is my all-time favorite Megadeth song.  No contest.

Holy Wars

I was very tempted to pick Painkiller, since that is Priest dialed up to 11 and Rob's vocals are absolutely perfect, but Holy Wars just goes off on insane levels and I agree that it's a perfect live opener for Megadeth.
