Judas Priest

[King_Of_Terrors]

I have Angel Of Retribution already. Now I have three albums I need to get.

[Brew]

I quite like the original version of Diamonds and Rust.

[King_Of_Terrors]

What is different about it then the remastered?

[Rrrrrrr]

No one posted in this thread for two months? This is criminal.

why is it that no one seems to mention how awesome Dreamer Deceiver and Deceiver are? Glenn's solo in Dreamer Deceiver is so good it's almost painful to listen to. One of Priest's best slow solos (but still not as good as Rock hard ride free :D)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Criminal indeed.

Painkiller = Perfect

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Criminal indeed.

Painkiller = Perfect


i loved painkiller.

[Deth]

Painkiller is fricking awesome.

We need new blood in this thread.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Painkiller is fricking awesome.

We need new blood in this thread.


im new blood

i have never posted in thus thread before

even tho i own every Priest album they ever released.

[Deth]

Nice. New conversation then.

I finally got around to buying British Steel (found it for $7 used), and I actually find it better than it gets credit for. Rapid Fire is awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I honestly haven't payed much attention to British Steel

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Nice. New conversation then.

i totally agree

wat cd do u think is Priests best album?

im going with painkiller because that was there comeback album and it was a great comeback album from the court case with the crazy kid that killed him self.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm saying Painkiller since it's one of my favourite albums ever, but Screaming For Vengeance is awesome and Unleashed In The East is one of my favourite live albums.

The Hellion/Electric Eye is awesome.

[Deth]

Painkiller or Stained Class is my favorite, depending on what mood I'm on.

That kid :rolleyes:

[Aakon_Keetreh]

that was amazing when i saw them play that live.

Ya

he pisses me off

i hope he went to hell

so have u seen Priest live?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't seen them live :(

[Aakon_Keetreh]

I haven't seen them live :(


Ahh ur really missing out.

I saw them live about 5 months ago in UTAH. I was very surprised them came.

It was soooo amazing. It was soo awsome. especially when they played victim of changes.

They played the solo for over 5 minutes. like 5 minutes of just straight soloing

im only 15 and im so happy i saw them before they will break up. Anthrax came too. It was a good performance but not as good as PRIEST.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

I haven't seen them live :(


is ur avatar from Leviathan?

[Deth]

Ya

he pisses me off

i hope he went to hell

so have u seen Priest live?
Yes I have :D

[Apocalyptic Raids]

is ur avatar from Leviathan?
Yeah it is.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Yeah it is.


do u like "tentacles of whorror" better than the "tenth level of sub suicide"?

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Yes I have :D


What did u think of them live?

[rippa32]

What is this about Diamonds And Rust? You mean you prefer the original Joan Baez version? Or did Priest do two versions?

[Deth]

What did u think of them live?
Incredible. Right on the money with all the songs, Halford sounded great and the setlist (except for Turbo Lover) was to die for. Probably the best concert I've been to.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Incredible. Right on the money with all the songs, Halford sounded great and the setlist (except for Turbo Lover) was to die for. Probably the best concert I've been to.


They played Turbo Lover too. I didnt like it.

I was sad for a bit because they didnt play "the ripper"

[Scuba_Steve]

Can't believe I hadn't seen this already.

Big priest fan, favorite album is probably either british steel or painkiller.

Also, what do you guys think of death's cover of painkiller?

[Rrrrrrr]

What is this about Diamonds And Rust? You mean you prefer the original Joan Baez version? Or did Priest do two versions?
well, the album version is soft and played on acoustics, but for a long time they played a heavier version live. I think they've gone back to playing it in the acoustic style live though.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Can't believe I hadn't seen this already.

Big priest fan, favorite album is probably either british steel or painkiller.

Also, what do you guys think of death's cover of painkiller?


i thought it was awsome

i enjoyed it very much.

[Deth]

Death's cover is awesome! I love it.

[PepsiMetal]

What are some good songs from painkiller? I have the song painkiller, but that's the only song from that album I've heard.

[Rrrrrrr]

Leather Rebel, One Shot at Glory and Night Crawler are my favourites (aside from the title track of course).

Hell, just get all ten songs, they're all great.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

What are some good songs from painkiller? I have the song painkiller, but that's the only song from that album I've heard.


the whole cd.

[Deth]

Painkiller, Hell Patrol, All Guns Blazing and One Shot At Glory are my favorites.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Its nice to see that this thread is alive.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

and now it just died.

[Deth]

Not having a post in 15 minutes doesn't mean it's dead.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Not having a post in 15 minutes doesn't mean it's dead.


eh, true.

[Leukeh]

Haha, I didn't know this thread existed. But I love the band... I only have two albums though (Angel of Retribution and Painkiller)

Interested in getting some more...

[Deth]

Go buy Screaming For Vengeance or Unleashed In The East ASAP.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Go buy Screaming For Vengeance or Unleashed In The East ASAP.


or metal works.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What are some good songs from painkiller? I have the song painkiller, but that's the only song from that album I've heard.
The whole album. It's that good.

[lionelhutz88]

The whole album. It's that good.
123. I'm still amazed that they pulled that album out that late in their career.

[rippa32]

I think Sin After Sin is an amazing ablum its more Rock than Metal but even if you prefer metal is a very good album(actually its the only one I have, hopefully I can get Painkiller soon).

[Aakon_Keetreh]

123. I'm still amazed that they pulled that album out that late in their career.
me too. there metal gods

[Riva]

It's a pity Ram It Down didn't have so much filler, or it may have been as great as Painkiller. That being said, I think Ram It Down and Hard As Iron are on par with the great songs of Painkiller.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't have Ram It Down yet :(

It was in a sanity (:O) store for like $15 but I didn't have any cash :(

[Riva]

That's okay Jon. I'll forgive you, this time.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

>_>

<_<

Lucky I didn't mention the minor fact that I don't have Sad Wings Of Destiny.

o shi

[Riva]

That's it. You die now!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I beg for mercy from your army of killer Koalas.

[Deth]

>_>

<_<

Lucky I didn't mention the minor fact that I don't have Sad Wings Of Destiny.

o shi
Picked that up today :). It's great, with the exception of Epitaph.

[Riva]

Yeah, Epitaph is the weak link, I feel. What's your favourite song?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Victim Of Changes and Tyrant are both good from Sad Wings.

Even though I don't have the album and stuff >_>

Unleashed In The East ftw!

[Riva]

Victim Of Changes and Tyrant are both good from Sad Wings.

Even though I don't have the album and stuff >_>

Unleashed In The East ftw!

Hmmmm. That does bring you back into grace, somewhat. Continue as you have begun.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

haha

I need way more Priest. But the Maiden albums are always so cheap at JB!!!

Last time I went to get Killing Machine, but they had Piece Of Mind and Killers for $20 :upset:

[Deth]

Yeah, Epitaph is the weak link, I feel. What's your favourite song?
Tough tough tough. I really like Dreamer Deciever, Deciever and The Ripper.

I was really suprised by how much bass is on that album.

[Riva]

Tough tough tough. I really like Dreamer Deciever, Deciever and The Ripper.

I was really suprised by how much bass is on that album.

Yeah, the bass is more noticable then their metal efforts.

I like The Ripper, Dreamer Deciever and Genocide. I think Deciever is a bit tacked on, actually.

haha

I need way more Priest. But the Maiden albums are always so cheap at JB!!!

Last time I went to get Killing Machine, but they had Piece Of Mind and Killers for $20 :upset:

Bah, a place on the Gold Coast called Sunflower Records had them for 14 bucks. I already own 'em though. :p

[Rrrrrrr]

I don't think Deceiver is tacked on, but it certainly isn't much of an Electric Eye to Dreamer Deceiver's Hellion.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

A worthy bump!

Electric Eye is one of, if not my favourite Priest track.

[-The Frank]

haha

I need way more Priest. But the Maiden albums are always so cheap at JB!!!

\m/ Maiden \m/

anyway, i was listening to the painkiller album today, wasnt as good as i thought it once was...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I love Painkiller. Probably my favourite metal album.

[blue3]

It's an awesome album.

[superflyjojo]

PLANETS DEVASTATED, MANKIND ON IT'S KNEES!!!!!!!!
Such an awesome album. My favorite songs off that one are Painkiller, All Guns Blazing, and Nightcrawler.

NP: Exhorder - The Truth

[Deth]

Has anybody tried doing the little back and forth motion that KK and Glen do while playing? It's harder than it looks.

Nice to see the thread back :).

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I can't say I've ever seen that, but I've never really seen much Priest live footage.

[Deth]

Go out and buy yourself Rising In The East. Worth the trip out.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I was thinking of getting Live Vengeance '82.

Or is it '81? I don't remember :(

[Rrrrrrr]

TWISTING THE STRANGLE GRIP WON"T GIVE NO MERCY!!

man, I wish I could scream like that.

I can't say I've ever seen that, but I've never really seen much Priest live footage.
I saw a video of Metal Gods live where they did that.

[Deth]

They do it for 2 hours nonstop.

Yeah, I'm going to get that Vengeance DVD as well. It's '82, Point of Entry came out in 81.

[Metalhead1409]

Has anybody tried doing the little back and forth motion that KK and Glen do while playing? It's harder than it looks.

Nice to see the thread back :).

tried it many times

[Riva]

I like it when they start of a concert lined up together, and each person plays the person in front's guitar.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Ohhh

Learn to describe better Deth :p

[Deth]

No, it's different! Riva's talking about the beginning of Breaking the Law, where they play each other's instruments, I'm talking about the rest of the concert.

[Riva]

That rocking thing they do is fairly awesome to look at. I don't imagine it's that hard as long as you keep your eyes on your fretboard.

[Deth]

I just get disorientated quickly and fall off the beat with my awesome rocking.

[Riva]

Put concrete in your shoes?

[Deth]

But then how can I do the robot walk?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Dilemmas in the Priest thread!

Finally picked up Stained Class today.

[Riva]

It's great, isn't it. What do you like the best so far?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well I am very familiar with Exciter from Unleashed In The East, but Better By You, Better Than Me and Beyond The Realms Of Death are also great.

[Riva]

Exciter is the correct answer, thank you Jon. :D

[Apocalyptic Raids]

:D

They had some other album there too... but I didn't feel like spending more :(

I got $350 for my bday, and at the moment I'd rather not spend all of it on CDs.

[blue3]

You still have all that money? Good for you. I tend to use all my money in just a few days.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think it would be the longest I've held onto a large sum of money. About a week now.

[-The Frank]

I was thinking of getting Live Vengeance '82.

Or is it '81? I don't remember :(

Its '82

anway, should i go out and buy jugulator?

Ive heard some mixed reviews about it.....

Even if i dont get it, im still getting sad wings of destiny :D

[Riva]

Jugulator gets the same kind of automatic bad rap that Blaze era Maiden gets. It's not a bad album, but personally, I don't think it is as good as Priest with Halford.

[-The Frank]

Meh, i still get it, used cds ftw.

[Neoteric]

<----------------- I picked up Sad Wings of Destiny a few weeks ago, it rocks!

[Deth]

Indeed it does. Some classics on that album. If the slow songs were a little better, it would make a run for my favorite Priest album.

[Shout it Out]

That rocking thing they do is fairly awesome to look at. I don't imagine it's that hard as long as you keep your eyes on your fretboard.It's so fun to do once you get it. Me and my friends do it all the time, playing Priest or not. The playing each others guitar is a different story, though. Some songs can't work with it.

[purgatory]

I love Judas Priest, my favorite song would either have to be Painkiller, or Metal Meltdown!
"HERE COMES THE METAL MELTDOWN RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!"

[Apocalyptic Raids]

My favourite would be either The Hellion/Electric Eye or One Shot At Glory.

[Deth]

Beyond the Realms of Death, Painkiller or The Ripper for me.

[-The Frank]

Beyond the Realms of Death, Painkiller or The Ripper for me.

Funnily enough, the ripper has really grown on me since i alst heard. At first i could nevere get over the "your in for suprise, your in for a shock WAHHHHHH"
The wahhh part really turned me off to that song. But, now since i have gotten passed that, its pretty awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Beyond the Realms of Death, Painkiller or The Ripper for me.
I've gone off Painkiller (the song). I have listened to it way to much.

[Inpropagation]

Electric Eye, All Guns Blazing, for me.

[-The Frank]

Hell patrol for me at the moment

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've been hooked on Hell Patrol lately.

\m/

[-The Frank]

Hell patrol was the reason i bought painkiller

[Shout it Out]

Tyrant or Between the Hammer and the Anvil for me right now

[Deth]

I almost picked up Defenders of the Faith today but didn't. Kinda feel bad about it now.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I nearly did yesterday too, General.

I will eventually.

[Riva]

Ram It Down, Riding On The Wind, Hard As Iron, All Guns Blazing and Diamonds And Rust, currently. Oh, and Freewheel Burning, of course.

[Deth]

I like the new rank I've achieved :p.

At ease soldier.

EDIT: To AR of course

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like the new rank I've achieved :p.

At ease soldier.
my e-pen0r just shrunk so bad

[Deth]

I don't know how to respond to that.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

:-*

I saw a box set that had Unleashed In The East, Stained Class, Sin After Sin and.... some other album I forget :(

I wanted to buy it :(

[Rrrrrrr]

Indeed it does. Some classics on that album. If the slow songs were a little better, it would make a run for my favorite Priest album.
It's got Dreamer Deceiver, what more do you want?

Electric Eye, All Guns Blazing, for me.
The Sentinel or Leather Rebel for me.

[Holy Diver]

I think my favorite song would have to be The Hellion/Electric Eye, although the live version of Diamonds & Rust (from Unleashed in the East) is a close second. I have almost their entire discography, I just haven't had enough time to listen to all the songs, unfortunitely.

[-The Frank]

So, yesterday i was reading the complete headbanging history of heavy metal by Ian Christe, and at the back it had top 3 lists. One of the lists were 'best fake live albums', and unleashed in the east was on the top 3 for that lists. WTF :confused:

[Riva]

Allegedly, Rob and Glenn recorded their parts again in the studio. One more wild rumour has the entire album being made in a studio, with a fake live audience.

Glenn maintains that it is a purely live album, though some of Rob's high notes were "touched up" due to a flu he had whilst on tour.

Seeing as how i dont own this album, would any of you say this is plausible(sp?)?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The sound is pretty clear, but I doubt it's fake.

You really should get it though.

[-The Frank]

^^summer of '06 it shall be mine. Only time i can get it :(

[Riva]

It's not like Priest to be that duplicitous.

[Rrrrrrr]

I read somewhere that Unleashed in the East was heavily overdubbed, but that was about it.

Looks like Priest pulled a KISS Alive album trick on us, shame on them.

[Deth]

The album is amazing, so I don't really care how it was recorded. It doesn't sound fully live to me anyway, but when you're rocking out to Starbreaker, that doesn't really matter.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Starbreaker on Unleashed In The East owns.

[Deth]

One of my favorites. I'm going to listen to it now actually.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I would, but I'm listening to Screaming For Vengeance :cool:

[Deth]

Nice. I'm in an oldschool mood tonight. I've listened to Cause of Death twice today.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Cause Of Death \m/

I'm going to listen to Stained Class now :cool:

I love Better By You, Better Than Me.

[Deth]

Stained Class \m/

Every song on that album owns except Invader. So good.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, Exciter is on now.

So so good.

[Riva]

I think Priest just liked to screw with their fans by putting a really crappy song on each album.

Except for Turbo, that entire album is ugh.

[-The Frank]

Ha, turbo lover just came on my play list as you said that. I changed it though :cool:

[Riva]

Haha. Good man.

Argh, the chorus is stuck in my head now though.

[-The Frank]

IMM YOURRR TURBOOO LOVERRRRRRR!!!

/cringes

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think Priest just liked to screw with their fans by putting a really crappy song on each album.

Aww come on.

Out In The Cold is pretty good on Priest... Live!.

[Rrrrrrr]

I think Priest just liked to screw with their fans by putting a really crappy song on each album.
Painkiller has a really crappy song on it? :eek:

This is news to me.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well if you wanted to nitpick you could say Battle Hymn.

[ThrashMaster27]

To be honest, I've never liked Leather Rebel. But it's not really crappy.

Oh yeah, has anybody ever heard the originals that Priest covered? I'm quite interested to know what they sound like.

[Neoteric]

I think Priest just liked to screw with their fans by putting a really crappy song on each album.

Is Tyrant the worst song on Sad Wings of Destiny? That song is bloody annoying.

[Riva]

Oh yeah, has anybody ever heard the originals that Priest covered? I'm quite interested to know what they sound like.

Johnny B. Goode is almost completely different in terms of phrasing and vocals.

Painkiller has a really crappy song on it? :eek:

This is news to me.

Painkiller was making up for Turbo.

[Deth]

Is Tyrant the worst song on Sad Wings of Destiny? That song is bloody annoying.
Nah, that would have to be Epitaph. I like Tyrant.

[Billy!]

Judas priest song names sound so different if you take into account that Halford is gay.

You've Got Another Thing Comin'

Love you to death? Ewwww.

Think of more!

edit: probably already done or over used but I haven't read any of the thread. sorry.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

To be honest, I've never liked Leather Rebel. But it's not really crappy.
I'm the same with All Guns Blazing.

[Deth]

I love All Guns Blazing!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's a great track, but I just prefer the rest of Painkiller :p

[dr._feelgood]

The song Painkiller is awesome. I haven't listened to that album in so long.

[-The Frank]

The song Painkiller is awesome. I haven't listened to that album in so long.

Painkiller reminds me so much of 'where eagles dare' by maiden. With the whole drum intro thing.

[Riva]

I watched the video for it on youtube. Rob looks like an alien. :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

:lol:

I quite liked this blurb on Metal-Archives.

The Painkiller video to be found here is the one that was not shown on MTV - it has far more explosions.

:-D

[Riva]

Turned my thrash head friend onto Judas Priest by lending him Living After Midnight and telling him to skip songs 11 and 12. :p

[Rrrrrrr]

*looks up*

WTF

Turbo Lover I can understand, but Some Heads Are Gonna Roll?! That song is one of the best on the album, what's wrong with you?

[NisseBagare]

Judas priest song names sound so different if you take into account that Halford is gay.

Eat me alive becomes really disgusting.

Wrapped tight around me
Like a second flesh hot skin
Cling to my body
As the ecstasy begins

Your wild vibrations
Got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip

Eat me alive

Sounds like an animal
Panting to the beat
Groan in the pleasure zone
Gasping from the heat

Gut-wrenching frenzy
That deranges every joint
I’m gonna force you at gun point

To eat me alive

Bound to deliver as
You give and I collect
Squealing impassioned as
The rod of steel injects

Lunge to the maximum
Spread-eagled to the wall
You’re well equipped to take it all

So eat me alive




Actually i would bold the whole thing, but that woulnt make a difference.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

:lol:

sexy avatar you have there nisse.

[lovefury]

It's almost impossible for me to say which song I love the most. Abosolutely amazing band :D

[Deth]

Damn right.

Anyone hear that their new album is a concept album about the life of Nostradamus? :confused:

But still, can't be bad - it is Priest after all.

[Stormrider]

Which albums were Tim Owen on ?

[Deth]

Jugulator and Demolition. I wouldn't recommend them though.

[Stormrider]

Oh ok...I might get Painkiller but besides that I'm not too interested in geting anything else.

Whats wrong with both those albums though ?

[Deth]

They aren't very good. Jugulator was a poor attempt of showing everyone that Tim could do what Halford does and Demolition wasn't Priest like at all. It's not Tim's singing that's the problem, the songwriting is so immature and weak that it is an insult to the other albums.

[Rrrrrrr]

Demolition is pretty awful, alright. More repulsive than even Turbo, in my opinion.

:lol: at NisseBagare's avatar

[Riva]

Jugulator isn't too bad, really.

*looks up*

WTF

Turbo Lover I can understand, but Some Heads Are Gonna Roll?! That song is one of the best on the album, what's wrong with you?

It's quite clearly Turbo Lover and Locked In....

[Deth]

Jugulator just sounds really weak to me. I've only listened to it once, so I can't say its the end all opinion.

The Live album is okay with Tim though.

And Riva, your version of Living after Midnight is different from the US version apparently.

[Riva]

When I get home from Uni I'll recheck the CD.

[Rrrrrrr]

Jugulator isn't too bad, really.

It's quite clearly Turbo Lover and Locked In....
I need new glasses (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:jlkmiklsbb19).

[Deth]

Wow, that Living after Midnight is completely different from my version. It's a hell of a lot better as well.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Anyone hear that their new album is a concept album about the life of Nostradamus?
I've heard about this. Hopefully it means their lyrics will improve :(

[Riva]

Problem solved. I don't have Hot Rockin' on my release.

[Deth]

I've heard about this. Hopefully it means their lyrics will improve :(
It's a well known fact that Priest's lyrics are perfect. It's all about the choruses, and how can you beat Exciter, One Shot At Glory and You've Got Another Thing Comin'?

You can't!

[Riva]

It's the verses that have us all cringing from time to time.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's on AOR I was mostly refering to.

One Shot At Glory is teh pwn

[Deth]

Only a few songs make me do that, but I can deal with it.

Speaking of questionable quality lyrics:
NP: You Don't Have to be Old to be Wise

[Kronos]

Only a few songs make me do that, but I can deal with it.

Speaking of questionable quality lyrics:
NP: You Don't Have to be Old to be Wise


Nice dodgy-lyric choice!

Eat Me Alive has probably got worse ones tho'

:p

[Deth]

They can't touch Halford's solo work though. Listen to Locked and Loaded for the worst concealed sexual innuendo I've ever heard.

[Riva]

You guys want barely contained homoerotic lyrical content?

8. All The Way

Alright baby. You know how to have a good time don't cha
It's the way you stand
You're always attracting attention

Now with your hands on your hips, and a
Snarl on your lips
Your eyes wore the look of danger
There's a lion in your heart,

That's set to quick start,

To a glance from any stranger
You give as good as you get
No one's beat you yet
You take the lead
You never need
You know all the moves you've got to make

You take it all, you take it all the way

Ya never do things by half
You're a man with a reputation
You never shy when the problems fly
You can cope with any situation
You take the wheel and crack the whip
You never slip
You rule the roost
You always boast
Yeah you're lookin' after number one

You take it all, you take it all the way


Awesome song, btw.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You take it all, you take it all the way
:lol:

[Riva]

It's about a man, for goodness sake!

[Rrrrrrr]

You guys want barely contained homoerotic lyrical content?




Awesome song, btw.
I thought you hated Point of Entry?

That album title is innuendo in itself.

[metal-militia]

I bought Stained Class the other day and it's excellent! Am I the only one who thinks Priests live versions of their early stuff is loads better than on the studio albums? Exciter on Unleashed in the East is so much better than the Stained Class version.

[MetalOz]

Unleased in the East blows away the early studio albums... Tyrant is crap in the studio but live it kicks *** as a matter of fact... here is the track list:

Exciter
Running Wild
Sinner

The live version of every song on here is beeter than the studio version. Les Binks sounds real good live too

[metal-militia]

Yeah i reckon pretty much everything on Unleashed sounds loads better than the studio stuff. Shame stuff like Tyrant and Exciter doesn't get played too often these days.

[MetalOz]

Halford's Live Insurrection album actually included some great old JP songs:

Stained Class
Running Wild
Genocide
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Tyrant

I also saw Fight (Halford's first solo project after Priest) and they played Exciter live.

Were they any good? I never got round to hearing any of it. How was the cover of Exciter?

[Deth]

Unleashed in the East is impossibly good. Stained Class is amazing as well, minus the guitar tone.

[Riva]

I thought you hated Point of Entry?

That album title is innuendo in itself.

I think it's poor, but it has highlights. Turbo is the only album that I pretty much dislike all the way through.

[classicrockman]

"Electric Eye" is one of my favorite Priest songs. Does anyone else agree with me that it's one of Judas Priest's best?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Electric Eye is one of, if not my favourite Priest song.

[classicrockman]

Electric Eye is one of, if not my favourite Priest song.
Cool. Someone agrees. That intro riff is epic.

[Riva]

I think everyone agrees. And The Hellion is the perfect intro to a perfect song.

[Rrrrrrr]

"Electric Eye" is one of my favorite Priest songs. Does anyone else agree with me that it's one of Judas Priest's best?
Man, the main riff to that song is one of the few that really uses pinch harmonics well.

[MetalOz]

Were they any good? I never got round to hearing any of it. How was the cover of Exciter?

It was excellent and the Priest songs on Halford's Live Insurrection are damn good too, I especially like Stained Class live...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I need to get some of Halford's solo stuff. :(

[Riva]

I like Halford the best, out of his solo work.

[GenuineImitation]

Im sure some of you guys have listened to Tipton's solo albums. Are they intrumental or are there vocals?

[Deth]

I need to get some of Halford's solo stuff. :(
It's rather generic to me. Some good tracks on Resurrection, but nothing outstanding.

[Riva]

Never heard them ,actually.

Shush, heathen. :p

[Rrrrrrr]

I have Baptizm of Fire, but I haven't listened to it in months (and I still can't :upset:). I do remember that there were vocals on it though.

Can't because its bad, or cant as in you lost it/it was stolen/it is broken...

[Rrrrrrr]

can't because I haven't had a working computer of my own for four months, and the album's on my external hard drive.

Is it worth checking out?

[Rrrrrrr]

I honestly can't remember much of it. My vague impression was that while it was reasonably enjoyable, it was hardly Priest standard material.

Ok, thanks. I may request it in the daily upload then.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I got Rising In The East today.

:cool:

[Riva]

Do you like it? I actually don't have that, yet.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, it's great, although the lack of any special features is a little disappointing. Still, a fantastic show and setlist.

The only other bad thing is a couple of poor AOR songs being there, but that's why they have the skip button :-D

[Riva]

I didn't really think of AOR as being especially poor. I'd probably watch it all the way through, anyway.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well they play Judas Rising, Deal With The Devil, Hellrider and Worth Fighting For, which are all quite good. They also do Revolution which I'm not to keen on.

[Riva]

Yeah, it kind of drags on, I think. That's what the scan button is for!

I still haven't had the full experience of it yet :(

I watched it on the Television that only has mono. Even with headphones in.

JUDAS PRIEST WORKING ON FIRST CONCEPT ALBUM
Judas Priest is working on the first concept album in the band's 32-year recording career, according to Billboard.com. The project will tell the story of 16th century French prophet Nostradamus, who was reputedly able to see visions of the future. Lead singer Rob Halford said that fitting the music and storyline together will be a challenge for the veteran metal band: "It's going to be a monumental task. We've written about characters in our music over the decades...It's just like a natural progressive step for us. The exciting thing is that we're going to be performing the whole piece live on stage when we go out, hopefully in early 2007."

Halford, who reunited with Priest in 2004 after a 12-year absence, is currently writing the album with guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing near the band's hometown of Birmingham, England.

No title or release date has been nailed down for the album yet. Halford said that the group will create an "absolutely spectacular" stage show to bring the album to life in concert.

Priest will head to Las Vegas next month, along with Kiss, Queen and Def Leppard, for the taping of VH1's Rock Honors. All four bands will perform and be saluted at the event, which will take place on May 25th at the Manderlay Bay hotel and air on the 31st.

:eek: Creams pants.

[GenuineImitation]

A concept album should be pretty cool. Im sure they will do a great job with it.


I cant wait for the VH1's Rock Honors to air. Priest and Queen in one night (to bad Freddy is dead.).

[Neoteric]

I bought Painkiller today....

Cool. How do you like it?



Angel of Retribution keeps on getting better with every listen.

I've listened to it once through so I haven't listened to it enough to form an opinion. I enjoyed it though.

Its a great album. Im sure you'll love it more with each listen.

[Neoteric]

Like Sad Wings of Destiny, I used to think that album was a boring rock album but now it's great! :thumb:

[Riva]

It'll be interesting to see how Priest handle a concept album.

[Shattered_Future]

That would be quite interesting...

Awesome avatar Riva. :thumb:

I'm personally hoping that the Painkiller, Sinner, Exciter, The Ripper and Starbreaker team up to fight the Metal Gods.

That's the best case scenerio of course.

that would be pretty kickass.

Don't forget the Turbo Lover.

>_>

<_<

[Deth]

He can get killed off in the first song.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damn right.

It should just be about a motorcycle or something. That would be \m/

:-D

[Deth]

A Priest album without a motorcycle nowadays is laughable. What would be the point?

[-The Frank]

My gym teacher looks exactly the same as rob halford, its quite scary... :confused:

[classicrockman]

Hehe. Imagine Nostradamus on a motorbike.

I'm a prophet, bitch!

That's the best case scenerio of course.
where the **** are the Sentinel and the Leather Rebel?

[Brew]

Was anyone else amused/unimpressed with Robs vocals on the Rising in the East DVD?

He always seemed to look like he was in pain and he just sounded off for most of the show.

[Deth]

I found it all understandable, given he's about 500 years old. Painkiller was the only song that really disappointed me, but it still slayed.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I thought he sounded great, considering his age. The only song he didn't sound good on at all is Painkiller, which is understandable.

[Riva]

He has trouble with his vocals a lot of the time these days. I think I read he's got an almost continual sore throat because of his falsetto back in the day.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That might be why they don't do more tracks from Painkiller live.

[Riva]

Which is a real shame.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Indeed it is :(

Battle Hymn leading straight into One Shot At Glory live would be awesome. Hell, that's almost as good an opening combo as The Hellion/Electric Eye. Almost.

[Riva]

Hmmm... It'd be tough to beat, The Hellion/Electric Eye.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, The Hellion/Electric Eye can't be beaten.

Slayer's Hell Awaits and Exodus' Bonded By Blood come close though.

NP: Nokturnal Mortum - The Funeral Winds Born In Oriana. Ever since Vortigern mentioned tavern wenches in the same post as Nokturnal Mortum, I can't help but laugh when the folk part comes into this song. :(

[Riva]

Hehe.

I'm thinking that Hard As Iron could be as good as The Hellion/Electric Eye.

[HazMan]

listening to revolution :cool:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Ah, I still need to get Ram It Down. I'm waiting until I can find it cheapish.

[71V1NGD34DM4N]

LONG LIVE JUDAS PRIEST!!!!:chug: :smoke:

[Rrrrrrr]

Indeed it is :(

It would be better, unless Priest actually played The Hellion instead of using a recording.

[Deth]

One Shot at Glory should be the first encore.

[Riva]

Ah, I still need to get Ram It Down. I'm waiting until I can find it cheapish.
I got it for 10 buck. :cool:

listening to revolution :cool:

Good song, but it drags on a bit.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think The Ripper is my new favourite Priest song!

[Shady Ultima]

How is the new cd? Or did it ever come out? I never heard any word of it. I'm glad Halford is back though. He's just friggin great.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The new album is alright, although it's kinda inconsistent.

What rock have you been living under? :p

[Shady Ultima]

Ah... the college rock. No money, no music channels on TV, no good radio stations... ya... that rock

[ThrashMaster27]

I think The Ripper is my new favourite Priest song!

I think Victim of Changes is mine.

Nice to see the Priest thread up and rolling still. So I've been listening to 70's Priest a lot recently. 3:15 on Stained Class....

*Headbangs* :smoke:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Forbidden's live cover of that song is cool. Russ Anderson sounds exactly like Halford.

It doesn't touch the original of course :-D

[Deth]

I still can't decide whether Stained Class or Painkiller is my favorite.

Argue for your album of choice.

[Riva]

Hmmm... it is tough, I admit.

Exciter, Better By You Better Than Me and Stained Class are all iconic JP songs.

However, as an album, Stained Class simply can't rival the non-stop awesomeness of Painkiller.

And besides, my favourite "classic" Priest album is still Sad Wings Of Destiny. ;)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going to say.

Unleashed In The East would be my 2nd fav if you want to include live albums.

[666Ozzfan]

I only have Killing Machine. I'm quite enjoying it. Still finishing my Black Sabbath album collection, then I might move to buy more Priest or Deep Purple. Not really sure.

For how long was Halford away from Judas? And any solo albums that might be worth having a listen to? I think he's got alot of talent, and is generally underrated. Well, here in NZ he is anyway.

I also like Les Binks' drumming. He's got a certain quality that no-one can really match.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

He was out of the band for 11 years, I think his solo project is supposed to be quite good.
