There was a Priest thread that got quite big ages ago, but that seems to have disappeared.

K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton are probably my fave guitar duo. Scott Travis was insane on Painkiller and Halford isn't a bad singer aswell :p

Exciter. Feel the pounding of double bass in 1978.

[QUOTE=flappersack]^^^haha

Priest are outstanding - sad wings of destiny or british steel is my favourite album. I think Halfords voice is unbeatable[/QUOTE]

I fully agree with this 'Flappersack' character, Halford's voice is brilliant. The amazing thing about Priest is that they never get boring or seem dated, good ****. Painkiller or Point of Entry (Turning Circles \m/) are my fav's

Priest found a type of metal that won't get old until the earthis purged of all people who have ever listened to, and enjoyed rock and metal.which doesn't seem likely.Well i hope it isn't likely cause otherwise we're all screwed

Cool my thread got merged with the old Priest thread. I haven't listened to Painkiller in ages.

Mmmm, this thread brings back memories. Priest remains one of my favorite bands (I'm defending them in the competition) and I now also have Stained Class which is fantastic with the exception of the guitar tone.

Oh and Halford is the greatest metal singer ever.

I saw Judas Priest a bit less than a month ago, Anthrax opened for them. was an awsome night! Halford was dead on for every song, great vocalist. And belladonna from Anthrax had the best stage presence ever. Glad he came back after sooo many years.

/still doesn't have [I]Painkiller[/I].

Return of the famous Creeping Deth Priest bumps.

So yeah, regarding Priest slightly. Who here has heard any of the Halford side projects aside from Halford? They don't look really that promising to me, but I'd be willing to give them a try if they're not too bad.

I heard a song from Fight and didn't like it and Two is supposed to be god awful.

Glad to bump the bestest Priest thread in the land :).

Halford's the only solo project of Rob's worth listening to.

I first got introduced to this band a few years ago when I was "window shopping". I heard of Judas Priest, but not any of their music and I was just getting into metal at the time. I found a British Steel/Painkiller combo in my local cd store for 6 dollars (it was used), so I decided to pick it up.

Finding those two cds for so little cash, was a miracle. I have been hooked ever since.

Angel of retribution is a amazing album every song is good, wow that band is amazing every person in that band is wicked at there intrument , tipton and downing a are insane duo, scott travis....wow is all i can say, Hill is wicked at bass and rob just has a awesome voice, JUDAS PRIEST ROCKS..PERIOD!

My friend is upsessed with Painkiller. Like seriously. . .

Also, I had a chance to see them, but I didn't have a ride.

Hey, i kinda have a problem. I wanted to buy a cd, but im not sure which one i want. please give me your oppinion:

Screaming for Vengeance
Sad Wings of Destiny

Powerslave (maiden)
Holy Diver (dio)

Hey HeavyRiva you've heard Biomechanical right?

I would say Powerslave, but that's because I'm a Maiden fanboy. SFV would be my #2.

I got to see them in San Antonio this past summer. After all these years they seem to be going strong. Angel of Retribution is just awsome. Its an instant Priest classic.

I don't actually have any Judas Priest whats the Sin After Sin album like? I quite like the cover art.

Sin After Sin is a pretty good album, not their best, but worth owning

im with creeping ddeth on this one.

buy powerslave if you dont have any maiden,powerslave is an amazing album.

I'll recommend on the Priest ones, because I would be hard pressed to put Powerslave or Holy Diver over each other. :p

Screaming For Vengeance has some great tracks, but also a bit of filler. It's very much Speed Metal, so if you're looking for that, then great.

Sad Wings Of Destiny is more hard rock, but it is also almost completely devoid of filler tracks.

Depends on where your tastes lie.

Sure have. Why do you ask?

Your comments made me smile, cos last week we had a load of Priest on and we all said "was this supposed to be [I]heavy?[/I]. It's the tone of the guitars and the production that really date old metal, not the content IMO.

And SFV would be a lot better if the production didn't sound like the microphones were stuffed inside a carrier bag full of socks.

Halford is joint first - along with Dio!:)

I would rate Halford in my top 5 for sure.

The King is always first though :cool:

Elvis? Diamond? Hungry Jacks?

Hungry Jacks dum dum.

currently i have Painkiller, any recomendations as to what Priest album to get yet? i was thinking maybe British Steel.

EDIT: Angel of Retribution is less than £4 on amazon :)

I had me some Hungry Jacks today. Double Whopper with Cheese. 'Twas a meal worthy of Halford.

I last had Hungry Jacks after the NRL grand final. The burger looked like it had been fetched from a bucket of water.

That didn't stop me though :cool:

Josh, get Sad Wings Of Destiny and British Steel, and then tell me what you liked better.
