One Of The Best Metal Songs Ever IMO

On my walk earlier today, I had my music on random and this song came up. This has been one of my all time favorite metal songs and I'd like to get other's opinion on it (if you don't like Running Wild then you won't like this):



The guitar part after the solos is my favorite part (@ 3:45 and 5:40-couldn't stop air doing air guitar during that despite being out in public).

sounds pretty cool, had I grown up listening to these guys I wouldve loved em. Unfortunately, when they came out, it was during the peak of the thrash years and I was very narrowminded: if it wasnt fast, thrashy, heavy, and evil I didnt like it. I missed out on alot of traditional heavy metal that came out in the late 80's/early 90's because it didnt live up to my so-called "high standards" of metal. yeah, what an idiot, huh...

I love just about anything RW released from Under Jolly Roger up until The Rivalry, this song is no exeption.

Good song ! And like kmorg, I think everything they've released has been fantastic.

Rolf is a sick player

Great song on a great album.

Yarrr. Here there be metal. Great track. Under Jolly Roger is my favorite by them.

RUNNING WILD is one of my fave bands ever and yes, its a great song.

Killer track from a great album! Running Wild have definitely become one of my favorites in recent years.

I recently added Masquerade to my collection. I was kind of hesitant because I read some less-than-enthusiastic reviews of it online, but it's quickly become one of my favorite Running Wild albums. "Wheel of Doom" has been stuck in my head on repeat for the past couple of days...

On a somewhat related topic, we have an exciting project and need a singer who can pull Rolf Kasparek impression. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Love Running Wild and Black Hand Inn just plain rocks!

WISH I could.

Musically it sounds very much like ACCEPT.

Straight-ahead heavy metal with NO sub-genres needed whatsoever. Simplicity can be a beautiful thing.

Mine too

The whole album is great.

Fight the fire of hate is one killer metal song.

Actually, the whole album as well as death or glory are one of the best albums ever released.

Hearing this song for the first time, but brilliant yeah!
