I say get [I]Unleashed In The East[/I].

Even though I'm a bit of a Priest noob >_>

I'm simply leading him down the flowery path to Priest fanboyism, Jon.

I skipped that path :upset:

There is still hope, since I do not have [I]Painkiller[/I].

Josh, get AoR, and then tell me what tracks you like the best. AoR is sort of an amalgamation of their new and old stuff.

What was Judas Priests most commercial album? I generally start into bands with there most commercial stuff.

[QUOTE=rippa32]What was Judas Priests most commercial album? I generally start into bands with there most commercial stuff.[/QUOTE]

British Steel.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Sure have. Why do you ask?[/QUOTE]
do you think there ripoffs of priest iv had one person tell me pantera and the other priest but everyone else likes them (that i've shown).

Basically every bad power metal band is a Priest rip off in one way or another.

i dunno that dude from 3 inches of blood gets his painkiller voice pretty good biomechanical doesent sound too much like halford but there still great.

The first time I heard the 3 Inches of Blood song "Deadly Sinners", I thought of Priest's "All guns Blazing" when it came to the vocals.

[QUOTE=FatalEnergy]Sin After Sin is a pretty good album, not their best, but worth owning[/QUOTE]

Sin After Sin just might be my favorite album by them. Sinner, Diamonds and Rust, Last Rose of Summer, Call for the Priest, and Dissident Agressor are some of my favorite songs by them. Most of the songs really have identity and it seems like one of their darkest albums to me (probably cause I listened to it for the first time on a cloudy day).

Sad Wings may be better though. I love their older stuff.

But the thing with Halford is that he can do that and then go to a completly different style. He's one of the most versitile singers I've ever heard.

Darkest hay? I might get it then. Oh and btw Ive heard Halford sing in that really high pitched voice like in Freewheel Burning, but other times he sings in a lower voice such as Breaking the Law and You don't have to be old to be wise. What way does he usually sing?

I tend to not like Painkiller much, even though it's a good album. It's unoriginal; to prove my point, listen to Riot's [i]Thunder Steel[/i]. It's got more speed metal in it, but it's total Painkiller two years before the fact. :thumb:

He's so talented that he sings in any style he likes, but on the whole, early Priest has him with lower vocals than late stuff.

On later (post Point Of Entry) albums he rarely uses the lower register of his voice; it's all screeching.

Which is a shame.

Dreamer Deceiver from Sad Wings really shows his range off!

My Favorite album is Definately "Killing Machine"! That album ROCKS!!! Green Manalishi, Runnin Wild, Evening Star.... Just AWESOME tracks!
Painkiller was the first album I ever picked up and listened to, which got me into Judas Priest... So I'm glad for taht, coz at the time i was really into speed and thrash and didn't really appreciate the other aspects that make metal so great! I'm glad I got to my senses as I got older though... I realise that Painkiller isn't such an amazing album but it got me listening to priest...Metal GODS!!!! I dream of seeing Judas Priest Live...
I really love "Turbo" too! HaHa! It's so 80's and so sleazy and I just LOVE it!!! Especially Turbo lover, Locked in and Reckless... The sexual innuendo's are hilarious!:p

Does he ever screech on Sin After Sin, it's just I found it on vinyl the other day and I'm tossing up whether to buy it.

[QUOTE=rippa32]Does he ever screech on Sin After Sin, it's just I found it on vinyl the other day and I'm tossing up whether to buy it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, he does - but it's not quite the same sort of screech

He does it on Sinner, Starbreaker, Let Us Pray/Call For The Priest, Here Come The Tears (a bit), Dissident Aggressor.

Mmmm = come to think of it, that's most of them :lol:

But he uses his lower voice a lot more than later on

NP Dissident Aggressor :cool:

So is Sin After Sin worth it? I quite like his screeching.

[QUOTE=rippa32]So is Sin After Sin worth it? I quite like his screeching.[/QUOTE]
dude, buy it! Just the fact that you can own Judas Priest on Vinyl should be enough incentive.... But I don't think it's such a bad album...

Okay I will, damn I hope its there when I get back lol.

[QUOTE=rippa32]So is Sin After Sin worth it? I quite like his screeching.[/QUOTE]
Buy it Rippa, and buy it now.

Sin After Sin is one of their most underrated albums.

It is great.

Sin After Sin? More like Win After Win! :cool:

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Sin After Sin? More like Win After Win! :cool:[/QUOTE]

Oh, the humanity...

Sin After Sin is pretty good. Took me quite a few listens before it grew on me. Nothing hit me straight away like on Painkiller or Stained Class.

Ha ha- a lot of the best things in life are acquired tastes - often it's things you like immediately that soon pall, and things that initially you don't like that you like most after a while

I know it was like that for me with most of my favourite things - booze, fags, (cigarettes, not homo's..), coffee, sex, no, hang on - I liked that one immediately...:lol:

The others still stand!

I really like Sin After Sin, but like you, it took me a while. It was the first album they released with really good drumming in.

I still think that The Ripper on UITE is Halfords shining moment vocally.

I need to get some more Priest, their albums are usually pretty cheap.

Ripper is good, but Dreamer Deceiver or Victim Of Changes are better IMO.

Everyone needs more Priest!


Except me, as I have all of it - even a horrible 4 track EP with them trying to look "hard" and ending up looking "camp" :lol:

Didn't mean to sound like a big-head there - I do seriously have all their stuff worth having :)

What era would this be then?

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]What era would this be then?[/QUOTE]
I believe it was somewhere about 1978, it definitely has "Hell Bent For Leather" on it.

On the sleeve they're all dressed up in tight, coloured leather gear with studs and stuff - I mean, who can look "hard" in silver or red? :lol:

And Les Binks always looked sort of hilarious - like a gerbil pretending to have an attitude.

Good drummer tho'

Sounds interesting.

Les Binks is definitely there most creative drummer at least. It's pretty obvious that Scott Travis is the most technically gifted Priest drummer.

Exciter and Beyond the Realms of Death are great drum tracks. Especially for 1978.

It's weird when I look at Priest's drummers as a whole. They spread across technical (Travis) to creative (Binks) to pretty damn boring (Holland).

[QUOTE=-The Frank]i dont really like "the ripper" that much.....[/QUOTE]

Nope.... Even in Iced Earth he dosn't really do it for me...

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]It's weird when I look at Priest's drummers as a whole. They spread across technical (Travis) to creative (Binks) to pretty damn boring (Holland).[/QUOTE]

Indeed. I never did much like Dave Holland. He can keep a beat and all, but he doesn't have an edge like the other two.

[QUOTE=Son of Northern Darkness]Nope.... Even in Iced Earth he dosn't really do it for me...[/QUOTE]

I'm quite sure he meant the song.

Besides, Ripper in Iced Earth = almost as good.

Sin After Sin is my favourite Priest album out of the ones I own.

:lol: HAHAHAHA! I am Such a Dumbass!!! HAHa! Sorry!!! I actually like the Live version of "The Ripper" on Unleasehed in the East a lot!! But the Original doesn't really do it for me....

Well, that's because Unleashed In The East > Just about everything else.

I got Sin After Sin yesterday, that's right that vinyl copy. I am really enjoying it, it's great. There are a couple of problems though. The guitars sound a bit thin, I don't know if that is due to crappy mixing or just the tone they use. And Last Rose Of Summer quite simply sucks, I would go as far as saying it brings down the whole first side. Oh I also had a question about it, it says on the back that Roger Glover prduced it. Is it the same Roger Glover from Deep Purple?
