Yes, another Priest thread. One thing I've noticed is Priest constantly has songs about killers and monsters (Painkiller, The Ripper, The Sentinel, Grinder, Judas Rising, etc.). What is your favorite "monster" song from Priest (I would do a poll but there are way too many)?

Mine happens to be my favorite Priest song of all, Nightcrawler. When I hear the song I picture a large crab-like creature terrorizing a town at night tearing people to shreds.

It's tough but I'm going to pick Judas Rising. That song is their best song since the Defenders of the Faith album.

I don't know what a Green Manalishi is either. But it sounds like a monster. So, I'm going to pick that one,too.

Green Manalishi is a Fleetwood Mac cover. I'm not sure it counts. But I don't make up the rules. Smile

Overall, I'll take "The Sentinel" as PRIEST's best "monster" song.

I'm sure you could classify anything as a monster these days.

I'll go with Nightcrawler as well. I love the short Vincent Price style narration in the middle of the song! And the riff is awesome.

I'm going to go with The Hellion/Electric Eye.

Is a Starbreaker considered a monster? For that matter, is the Devil's Child a monster?

Guest

Painkiller. Or The Ripper.

It has to be Painkiller.

lol...this is kinda funny. Let me run with this for a second, if you will. :joker:

Is "Better By You, Better Than Me" a monster?

I'm not sure...Is "One Shot At Glory" a monster?

No, but I think "Desert Plains" is one.

Really?? I was thinking "Hot Rockin'" was a beast.

No way, man..."Beyond The Realms Of Death" is clearly a monster...lol

OK, sorry for my silliness. I'll go with "Tyrant." If that doesn't qualify as a monster, then I'll go with "The Ripper."
