Annihilator - Striker

[pepe8050]

My favorite Canadian metal band is Annihilator, Stoner rock is sHEAVY, Classic rock Rush.....Canada is fucking cool

[iboul5]

Q AMOS!!!!!!!!!!!

[nimrodel33]

a song with lots of balls!! but cant help the connecting it to headcrusher by megadeth. both are great bands, metal fucking rules!!!

[MrDecapitator666]

ROCK ON

[gutembergveloso]

Just knowing the band now... Holy shit. Thats fucking awesome.

[schizoisneveralone]

2:16 to 2:49 thrash masterpiece

[Geraldi100]

Fantastic Metal!

[dchanization]

Best export from Canada!!

[forgemaster12]

@dchanization and Rush too

[MacDoMino]

It sounds like Judas Priest (Rapid Fire)...

[TheReJectiion]

@MacDoMino Its like a mix of rob halford and bruce dickenson from maiden haha. absolutely amazing though.

[azmanabdula]

Nice

[MegaMaidenhead]

Annilator is one of the most underrated bands ever! Iplay 90% of bass lines devised by Jeff Waters and it is one hell of a workout! That's it!

[xXmetalcoreskaterXx]

this makes me want to ride them pick up truck with guns in libya and shoot every kaddafi loyalist dead xD

[AlternativeTaco]

how come ive never heard of these guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck yeah this song rules

[MrMetalstorm666]

@AlternativeTaco The band really isn't that big. They weren't really big at all until 1993 and they formed in 1986. The whole band is the life work of lead guitarist and vocals Jeff Waters.

[Metalhead76545]

I'd have loved to have seen these guys at Sonisphere

[RetroSparkles]

Wow, awesome.

[alevd14]

3:03 drum solo are just amazing, like all the fucking song!

[HoningBroekNiel]

Judas Priest + Maiden + Accept

[EgoShredder]

@HoningBroekNiel

+ Gamma Ray = guitar lead motifs and rhythmic harmonies.

[MrHajdeger]

Kakve veze imaju Maiden i Annihilator...Jedino što su Maiden-i uticali na Annihilator..a inače,Annihilator je old school thrash metal..Uvek bili i ostali!!!! Respect!!!

[Yossupdude91]

@MrHajdeger TO MOJ BRATEEE,NASAO SAM RODJAKA KOJI SLUSA ANNIHILATORA!!!

[MrHajdeger]

@Yossupdude91 Hehe..brate moj,pola života bih dao za jedan njihov koncert..valjda će se smilovati pa uskoro doći i u bg..sve najbolje..živio mi brate!!!Stay metal!!!

[Yossupdude91]

@MrHajdeger hhaahaha i ja :))

a jel imas fejs?

[Yossupdude91]

@MrHajdeger poslao sam ti zahtev :D

[M0Lester808]

A/\l/\lIHIL/\T0R

[TheChaosAwaits]

the tone is just blistering

[rev0luci0nfinal]

una obra de arte

[MrThrasha666]

Sounds Priest influenced more than anything. Good tune though!!

[ALONSOFLAGRANTE]

me pregunto a q bola de pendejos, en ste caso 16!! mo les gusta annihilator!!! bola de ineptos!! cara bolas!!! chinguen a su puta madre pobres pendejos.... an de ser pinches regguetoneros mierda!!! viva annihilator putos!!!

[mit7771]

Yeah... they sound like Maiden. I prefer Maiden. But these guys are pretty decent.

[Foxysarajean]

not maiden way fucking faster

[Fuck1nMetal]

FUCK!! RAW SONG!!!

CHAINSAW GUITAR

[SmokMaahPowle]

Sounds so much like Brucey

[crammage]

IMO better than anthrax

[GHeroandRScape]

@crammage better than slayer metallica and megadeth

[crammage]

@GHeroandRScape yeah might be but we are all used to megadeth

[markb2112]

Really talented band, great vocals and leads. But the riffs are kinda stale. Is this their newest stuff?

[Idey1994]

@markb2112

No their newest stuff is with a different lineup, search 'annihilator the trend' for a song off their self titled newest album, you might like that..

[Dmanrocks35]

I see the similarities to Aces High.... BUT they are BOTH good bands, and I don't mind if they borrow a few riffs from each other since it's hardly a carbon copy.

[harimarockfan95]

be a striker or be dead :p hahahahahahahahahahah that would be nice

[Firehawkphyros]

I can not describe how it feels orgasmic to hear that.

[TagDrum11]

in my opinion this song sounds like if judas priest and iron maiden had a baby

[vinix23]

@TagDrum11

LOOOOOL SO TRUE

[vinix23]

@TagDrum11

LOOOOOL SO TRUE

[Tricky87dk]

@TagDrum11  ´;.;.`

[AGNTthrasher]

@pleasuretokill627 Wouldn't be the first time Jeff borrowed a riff or two xD

[Slimebeast]

Be quick or be dead.

Love Annihilator though.

[stupidguyx]

Eh, I'll take Annihilator over any other band.

[JeffreyKuntae94]

fist pump at the beginning unce unce unce lol

[thekoteshita666]

THE FUCKING INTRO IS LIKE TO FLYS IN MY EARS LOL LOL LOL

[JorgeZ013]

@kjn5991 No, like Judas...

[mashui99]

@JorgeZ013 Lol it does sound more like Halford singing.

[kjn5991]

somehow the verse sounds like Maiden?

[duffmasterofpuppets]

God, that fucking drum solo. Epic.

[HoosierMF]

I can understand why people mention Maiden because the vocals sound a bit like Bruce Dickinson but they are totally different bands

[Doodorz]

@HoosierMF I agree, but they are both equally as awesome.

I wish everyone would just shut the fuck up and love metal.

[borimela]

AEEEEEEEEE F U C K 'N' R O L L L L L ...

[MALLANHEAVYHELL]

el comienso suena como a Ram It Down de judas priest

[Rikarrdo3]

@MALLANHEAVYHELL

crei q era el unico q lo habia notado,

pero aun asi esta bueno.

Saludos!

[MetalWarrior95]

the intro sounds like Overkill's - Necroshine

like a helicopter :)

[strikerjess]

what are the good annihilator albums other than alice in hell?

[MetalWarrior95]

@strikerjess Never, Neverland is a fucking kickass album..

[Spikeshred]

@strikerjess Alice In Hell and Never, Neverland are arguably their best albums. After those they started to went a bit downhill even though Set The World On Fire and King Of The Kill were still good. But they still have a few good songs from their newest albums too e.g. The Trend and I suppose this song too.

[reigningbullets]

i could see how this song is similar to maiden, the riff sounds like aces high... and the melodic licks sounds maidenish too. the singer also sounds a little like bruce dickenson

[stupidguyx]

Wish I could still headbang. 

[Soboliew]

Why doesn't anihhilator is like that anymore?... the new album sucks and everything else too

[colombobogota]

fuck i cant find this song anywhere

[russellbrandfreak]

@colombobogota look on frostwire :P i got it from there xD

[STRATOMASTER190]

no les parese paresido (Be Quick or be Dead)

[Rutiger32]

Please listen the first 30 sec of this song, played 5 years before the annihilator´s one. Unrest - Watch Out

A copy?? Despite everything, I like the annihilator´s theme!!

[yaswicoaches]

@Rutiger32 Do you think it was a homage or a straight out copy?

[MrFitz219]

i can see someone comparing maiden and agentstell but not annihilator really!

[DeadnightWarrior1991]

Iron Maiden on methamphetamine....:DDD

[allamir]

Best trash metal ever

[adrian28469]

@allamir THRASH¡¡¡¡ poser

[allamir]

@adrian28469 stfu I always get confused with Alice Cooper's album called ''Trash'' u retard.. after reviewing your profile I realize you are the fucking poser and also a miserable cunt. Have a nice death :)

[Puredarknesss]

@allamir Relaaaaaaaax bro, everyone can make a mistake once, just ejoy the metal

[thesupertaco]

Nice Ram it Down Cover... xD Judas OWNS!

[thesupertaco]

[copperhead46]

Love this song....makes me wanna do a mw2 "striker" shotgun montage to this song.

[famed0tswagg]

All you idiots are retarded.

Annihilator is Annihilator,

Maiden is Maiden

Metal is Metal.

Life is Metal.

@famed0tswagg Truer Words have never been spoken



[xXAnthony619Xx]

This makes me want to drink maple syrup and punch someone in the fucking face.

[mattdd05]

@xXAnthony619Xx How about smoke a huge bowl, put on some skates, crush someone on the boards, and break some fucking noses! only sport other than boxing/mma that allows boxing.

[lemmingsuicide1234]

@xXAnthony619Xx that's amazing. pure and simple.

[Ben1990H]

@xXAnthony619Xx this song makes me want to write a comment

[EMOHOLACAWST]

also, the people comparing them to iron maiden and tlaking about aces high, this dude is actually pretty good, and the 'aces high' isnt aces high, its just fast a maiden style riff, but what makes it moreso is the guitars are synced in different octaves.

[EMOHOLACAWST]

pretty cool i guess, id cut it up a bit, delete that trippy intro and remove the part that starts at 2:50

cool band is pretty cool, the problem is they sound like one of those bands no one has ever heard of, that they use to make theme songs for video games.

seriously it sounds like a theme song to some 90's kids show or a videogame.

pretty cool band, just needs some work, heh, but its too late now, BUT i bet a nice cover band would give them honour.

[SkateAndRoll79]

the first riff is the same like the one in ram it down by judas priest xD#

but its really fuckin awesome

[TheM3talGuy]

souds like a high gain cheap fender distortion

[FxGTR1]

12 people missed the like button

[armoredpineapple]

this is fucking great

[yZZiRoxx]

annihilation and destroy!

[barrydawoodsman]

The ones that are comparing this to maiden in my opinion have great ears I my self thought the same when I heard him sing through part 1:25 through 1:28 but that is where any comparison ends the music is not like any maiden I can remember but that vocal phrasing now I see something in that respect good ears metal heads

[hatakekakashi96]

Jeff got 3rd best metal guitar in that aawesome 100 best metal player book, right behind Petrucci and the Dave. Awesome!

[Paulwasnotavailable]

12 people got Annihilated

[kynky213]

true about the vocals but they are two very different and cant really compare iron maiden with them

[big4lego]

year?????????'

[PyroDemonDX]

whats with all these people comparing Maiden and Annihilator? they're two different bands with different rockers, and they play different divisions of the same genre. speaking in terms of technical skill Dave Murray and Adrian Smith have reached a level that most guitarists never will, and Bruce Dickinson is a legendary singer that also has no equal. But at the same time Jeff Waters is a powerhouse and also rocks hard. Why compare two great bands when you can just listen to both and enjoy music?

[zackpanzer]

@PyroDemonDX Well fuckin' said!

[jfkdjfd]

Dude, Jeff Waters is the player who has reached a level that most never will. Dave and Adrian have been playing the same "type" of solo's for thirty years. not very hard to play the same solo over and over. but they're good solos.

[colombobogota]

@PyroDemonDX well because ppl are retarded

[WielkiZielonyMelon]

@PyroDemonDX To be honest I would rather hear people comparing Iron Maiden and Annihilator than those that say "16 people are Justin Bieber clones" or something similar-"original"

[matteomastretto]

@PyroDemonDX

Ehm...man,im better than dave murray and adrian smith...and so other many guitarist...

[longlifetometal1995]

@matteomastretto

then, put a video of yourself playing guitar and we'll see

[Megatallica25]

@matteomastretto thats what the shitty players say

[TrollandDie]

This was the first Annihilator song I ever listened to. Due to the intro I thought for a second it was a dance anthem. XD

[MadnessLordl]

i love this song o_o i can't stop hearing this xD

[Swordfreak911]

Annihilator keeps it simple, unlike a lot of bands. (Today's bands included) That's why they rock!!!

[Ifight2eat232]

This band makes me cum

[vaqueracyn]

Aces High!

[elFinEntusManos]

@vaqueracyn Annihilator> Iron maiden

[arrestedshrimp]

that had to be the coolest breakdown ive ever heard

[radstuf]

Hum... Aces High anyone? Anyway, awesome song!

[ThrashattheHeart]

If Annihilator was a lady i would make sweet love to her

[nadir6657]

yeeeeeee jeff no 1

[ThePegasus666]

\o/

[LambofIronSlayer]

Wow today was the first day i ever heard these guys soo underated

[wambamgazam]

this is my first time listening to annihilator. and i have to say it gives MEGADETH a run for their money!

[TendonPiles]

Firsto off, Iron Maiden is definitely not overrated. Secondly he doesn't sound as much like Bruce Dickinson as he does Rob Halford of Priest. Almost sounds like something off of Painkiller. Annihilator is kickass nonetheless. You gotta love thrash. Check out Metal Church as well...

[TheM3talGuy]

the fun palace is their best song

[dirdydraws]

MAIDEN IS NOT OVER RATED! step back asshole!!!!!!!!!

[ladycne]

he sounds like my mom

[Kamba6667]

it sounds like headcrusher from Megadeth

[SnowboyroyTV]

Fast Fast reminds me of old Deep Purple.... ROCK !

[24acers666]

Killer drumming

[derek622]

Oh shit, these guys are amazing. Why after all these years has no one ever told me about Annihilator? They are so damn fast. I like what I'm hearing. \m/\m/

[xmatias52x]

this song sound like "aces high"

[FlyingVmetall]

@xmatias52x it does i knew it sounded like i heard it

[mollywithahatchet]

Annihilator isn't underrated, its famous among thrashers and true old school metalheads, that's what matters. It isn't a mainstream band, maybe it should stay that way, otherwise every no good poser will be able to say he listens to them and dirty the good name of thrash!

[Gigodem]

awesome distortion, i want it

[bizarewigga]

Maiden voice ! ftw

[cliffthelightning]

Maiden voice ! ftw

And the riffage is almost the same as 'Ram it down' by judas priest

Awesome!

[dakataisme]

@cliffthelightning Yeah the riff is very similiar to Ram it down, and the timing of the lyrics also. Awesome Song, Annihilator is a great band, Jeff, what could I say about the guy, hes an amazing guitar player thats for damn sure

[ThisCreepingLife]

i 'd never heard this band , but now i listen to this song ... and like it :)

[puppetmaster532]

SEE! canadians can kick some serious ass!!!

[rererorererorero]

my band (((Furthest Krueger))) Please retrieve it with youtube.

[Munch1Fetus]

very underrated band

[TAblitzkrieg]

The lead singer kind of reminds me of Rob Halford or Ripper Owens of Judas Priest. The song itself vaguely seems like One Shot At Glory.

[greatlotrfan]

TRUE FUCKING THRASH METAL!!!!

[JorgeZ013]

suena muy parecido a ram it down...

[melowar78]

This song has a strong Judas Priest vibe to it which makes it kick ass!!! Too bad Joe isn't the vocalist anymore tho :(

[ymiappf]

I always wondered what a combination of rapid fire by priest and aces high by maiden would sound like, no I know.

this is actually pretty good

[denkleinen1]

annihilator is fucking great, hell yeah, i like all ther stuff

[Gezzer360]

his voice sounds also like judas priest with thash sound

[fr00ctal]

epic

[jaskajr]

Can somebody tell me whatsup with these guys they are good and iv never heard of them but now iv found out ther from Canada and ther not very big but how do they keep getting crazy famous people to preform with them ?

[0MusicAddictedGirl0]

It's one hell of an awesome band, only not known if you're not into metal....but every metalhead should at least know 'bout annihilator...it one of the best thrash metal bands but less known...it's not so famous like megadeth, metallica, slayer and those but in league with testament and other GREAT thrash metal bands....awesome band! one of the best!

[3InchesOfBlood153]

great song from one of my favorite album

[HunterX108]

This sounds a lot like Aces High...I Still love it

[lvtlfdlmp]

I love this song this is the song that got me into Annihilator! Jeff Waters is AWESOME!

[Rennykilla]

sound like a riff of aces high....

[MalibuStacy666]

i love it

[bokuroker]

Freaking amazing!!! Also...he sounds a bit similar to Rob Halford.

[IlkerDeth]

Yes, especially because the melody reminisces of the melodies sung by Rob!

[DonkSupreme]

[X] idiots posting here

[MrBShi]

maybe that dude meant the singer sounds a little like bruce in this song but the music definetly sounds nothing like maiden.

[666IcedEarth666]

Now THIS is THRASH! :D

[tony9169]

sounds more like rapid fire by priest than anything maiden made

[zarullia]

2:57 till 3:05 sounds like silence between Megadeth's first couple of songs on the third album!!!!! AMAZINGGGGGG!!!! Check it!!!!

[zarullia]

vocals on 0:34 till 0:35 sounds like Overkill's rhythm guitar!!!!! AMAZING!!!!! :*
