Running Wild

[Freezing Moon]

This post is in appreciation of the greatness that is Running Wild. Weather you like the old-school heavy/speed metal era or the later power metal pirate themed era this band is amazing.

Discuss the greatness that is Running Wild. Favorite albums, favorite songs, whatever.

np: Running Wild - Bones to Ashes

[Steerpike]

Next year, on National Talk Like a Pirate Day, I'll be cruising around downtown blasting my favorite Running Wild tunes.

[Freezing Moon]

Damn, I must have missed that holiday. Sounds like a good time. I'm assuming you prefer their later material?

[Steerpike]

The older stuff has its appeal, but the pirate-themed power metal will always shiver my timbers the most.

[FatalEnergy]

Arrrrgh Matey! A Pirate's life for me.

Running Wild kills

[pate]

They're a good listen every now and then.

[G_Mac07]

Running Wild aren't bad. I downloaded Under Jolly Roger and Victory so I could listen to them on Talk Like A Pirate Day. Otherwise I don't really listen to them that much.

[Freezing Moon]

Try "Black Hand Inn", or if you're looking for more of a speed metal feel go with their first album and probably my favorite, "Gates to Purgatory".

[G_Mac07]

I'll look into it. :thumb:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

will always shiver my timbers the most.
hahahahaha

Black Hand Inn is my favourite, great band.

[Freezing Moon]

hahahahaha

Black Hand Inn is my favourite, great band.

Have you heard their earlier stuff (Gates to Purgatory specifically)?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got the live album and Under Jolly Roger out of the early stuff.

[Txus]

I perefer Under Jolly Roger over any other Running Wild. They are such a good band.

[Steerpike]

Black Hand Inn is greatness. Dragonmen is one of the best speed/power metal songs ever written.

[Shattered_Future]

Great, great band with a killer twist.

[Josh]

i've only got Black Hand Inn, but i love it, especially The Phantom of Black Hand Hill :)

/puts it on now.

[Stormrider]

More good Speed/power metal eh / I should check these guys out. I'll look for Under Jolly Roger .

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Fight The Fire of Hate is the second most fist-pumpingest song ever.

[Silenius]

If you like this kind of 80s metal definitely check out Opeth man! \m/

@da threadstarter

[blue3]

Pirate metal! I like Running Wild. A lot. & Verbal Deception, if anyone here has heard of them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If you like this kind of 80s metal definitely check out Opeth man! \m/

@da threadstarte
yeah also check out some In Flames they are exactly what ur looking for \m/

[Riva]

Jono, Pirate Song is the most fist-pumping song by Running Wild. Hands down.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't think I have that one :(

but no song is as fist-pumping as Metal Gods

[Riva]

:eek: Judas Priest have WAY more fist pumping songs than that.

LEAVE THIS FORUM IMMEADIATELY, HEATHEN

[Apocalyptic Raids]

but Metal Gods is the most fist-pumpingest of them all

FACE IT UR RONG

[Riva]

Dude: Rock Hard Ride Free, Running Wild, Exciter, Hard As Iron, Painkiller, All Guns Blazing and Electric Eye!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Dude Metal Gods is way more fist-pumping than those come on. Those songs are probably better, but none induce fist-pumping quite like Metal Gods.

[Riva]

If you want to pump your fist to lesser songs, that's fine, you poseur you.

[blue3]

I heard 'Pirate Song' on the radio the other day. It was grand.

[Riva]

That's a pretty good radio station. My local ones will introduce Metallica as "a heavy song for all the metalheads".

[AA-12]

Amazing band overall.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Bump

Best power metal band IMO...love 'em

Under Jolly Roger, Port Royal, Death or Glory, and Black Hand Inn are all essential.

[Angmar]

Hey South, can you rep/send me those albums you had in your journal.

S_moore80(at)hotmail.com

[Moses]

I remember Steerpike's thread on them. They were pretty good.

[Shadows Within]

Dude: Rock Hard Ride Free, Running Wild, Exciter, Hard As Iron, Painkiller, All Guns Blazing and Electric Eye!

Painkiller is pretty much teh pwnzrs so i hope running is as good as people say.

[south_of_heaven 11]

I take it you mean the Running Wild ones?

[Angmar]

But of course.

[south_of_heaven 11]

But of course.

Check your email

[Angmar]

Thanks :)

[chorbalan]

THeir newest album is not bad...but Black Hand Inn is still the best.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

surely you could have just made a new thread SOH

[Angmar]

Meh its not a huge deal, I'm sure if he did he would get someone saying "omg there is already a Running Wild thread n00b!"

[Riva]

I can guarantee that a 2 page thread from a year ago will not make anyone scream "OMG THERE IS ALREADY A RUNNING WILD THREAD, NOOB".

[south_of_heaven 11]

surely you could have just made a new thread SOH

I felt like taking full advantage of this sites search feature.

[Slapping Penguin]

I am so glad my completely non-metal friend for some completely unknown reason had three RW albums in his house which I was able to borrow....

Then I got a 4th...

Good choice. Top, top band.

[jrowa001]

love this band. Black Hand Inn is a great album for when i go running

[FatalEnergy]

Port Royale is my favorite

[south_of_heaven 11]

I'm really digging Death or Glory at the moment...but it's all sooo goodddd

[Angmar]

I listened to Death or Glory, really great stuff.

[FatalEnergy]

They're a really consistent band
