VOTE: Fast Songs vs. Slow Songs

It's a style clash this week in Chuck's Fight Club on the Loudwire Nights radio show. We want to know which you prefer, a rock block of fast songs or a rock block of slow songs.

Sometimes you need a little bit of energy to get you going. We can get you pumped with some adrenaline fueled classics from Metallica ("Battery") or Motorhead ("Ace of Spades") and there's plenty more where that comes from.

Meanwhile, some of our heaviest hitters also now how to lean into something more tender, vulnerable or emotionally raw. Among our possible "slow song" favorites this week are the raw nerve emotion of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" or the epic piano ballad "November Rain" from Guns N' Roses.
