Default What are the hardest Meat songs to sing?

I felt in another thread Red Light is devilishly hard. Agree with me or think im blowing smoke?

Hardest meat songs, in this order for me, are:
  1. Running For The Red Light
  2. Everything Louder
  3. Bat
  4. Objects
  5. Break It
  6. Surfs Up

Wow this is going to take some time. Really good question wario. I'll come up with a list tomorrow after i've scoured the lists. But I do agree with you runnin for the red light is one of the harder ones cause it's so fast! I also think nowhere fast is a really hard song to sing as it's really fast!

Great thread Wario!

Okay, so my hardest songs to sing are:

Nowhere fast
Running for the red light
All revved up (can be quite hard if you sing it in full)
Bat (simply cause of the length lol)
Anything for love (cause of the range needed)
Objects
Rock n roll dreams
Frying pan (takes a lot of breath!)
Bad for good
In the land of the pig
Its all coming back
Blind as a bat
Living on the outside
Love is not real
Song of madness
Peel out
Original sin
Not a dry eye
Party of one?

I think giving tree could be too, just in terms of getting a breath in, I always find myself puffing a bit after screaming it to my steering wheel in the way to work

  4. Objects

Yet in the other thread you said Runnin' For The Red Light was third hardest? Now it's top?

OK, speaking as someone who sings these songs a lot (and not self-promoting, or bragging, or trying to start a pissing contest with anyone) the ones I personally find most difficult to sing are from the Dead Ringer album, in particular I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back, I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us and Read 'Em and Weep. These can all catch out an under-prepared vocalist. As with everything, the more you practice, the easier it gets, you learn when to breathe, when to push, when to hush etc. Now I don't even think about the notes coming up (for I fear if I did dwell on it too much I may falter, like a rabbit in the headlights!)
FCOL is difficult, but I've done that one enough times now to allay any fears I might have once had about it.
Bat is only really tricky at the very end
Paradise used to completely wipe me out when I started out
Believe it or not, I'd Lie For You is very difficult. The key change (which went back down again when done live) makes it very tricky indeed.
I'm sure there's many more that I've never even tried!

I think it varies person to person too though. I find Paradise quite easy but for sure I'd lie for you is one of the hardest, i should have put that on my list.

Oh it's not nearly so difficult now, but I did say when I started out, and that was 15 years ago lol.

I thought we'de gone over this ground before

Deja vu?

As you can see on the thread, like Sean, I believe the Dead Ringer album is (on the whole) the hardest to sing.

My list of the hardest Meat songs to sing (TOP 10):

1. Peel Out
2. Bat Out Of Hell
3. Do It
4. Surf's Up
5. Nowhere Fast
6. Paradise By The Dashboard Light
7. Dead Ringer For Love
8. For Crying Out Loud
9. I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back
10. Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through


Although I very, very, very like song, I have problems with "Surf's Up", because someone who take challenge and try to sing this song should have (I think) operatic voice.

"Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through" is hard to me because I have problem with tempo and I don't accept changes in lyrics (at least in the version I saw - Rock And Roll Dreams Come True).

None of them

But, if I'm singing them then the question should be, which is the hardest to listen too?
