[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...

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?

bump, I'm just getting into Judas Priest and I don't want to let this thread die. So what album should I get next? Is Ram It Down good?

Ram It Down is ok.

You only have Sin After Sin then? If that's the case then I'd suggest Stained Class or Painkiller as your next purchase. Painkiller is the more heavier of the albums and has some classic solos.

Also, has anybody seen Rising In The East yet? Looks like a pretty decent set list.

go with painkiller. The title track alone is worth the album.

Would someone recommend me a good Priest album also? I have Painkiller, and Angel Of Retribution.

hahah yah i did mean the song. But as for the singer, i like him

if you like painkiller a lot, I'd check out Defenders of the Faith. It has classics like Freewheel Burning and the Sentinel.

Alright. Thanks.

Ill get Stained Class because I am really liking there earlier stuff. I havnt actually heard British Steel but I heard it was much more commercial than there usual stuff. Do you guys reckon they sold out?

I could have sworn I had that album. I lost it or something.

there was awhile where they did get a bit commercial. Preist has always been a band that made albums after a trend. Turbo was their response to glam metal. As they saw some bands get heavier and faster, they made their sound like that. Im not complaining, but they did seem to follow the crowd a bit in the 80's. I wouldn't say they "sold out" though.

I don't get why people like [I]Freewheel Burning[/I] so much. I like [I]Rock Hard Ride Free[/I], [I]Some Heads Are Gonna Roll[/I] and [I]Jawbreaker[/I] a lot more. [I]The Sentinel[/I] is quite possibly my favourite Priest song of them all.

I'm asking for this for Christmas. There's no extras though, which is a shame.

My friend just told me that the singer of Judas Priest is gay. I dont no but i think he just hates them or is he really gay?

Yes, he actually is gay

[QUOTE=lionelhutz88]if you like painkiller a lot, I'd check out Defenders of the Faith. It has classics like Freewheel Burning and the Sentinel.[/QUOTE]

Bah, too much filler. Rock Hard, Ride Free, and the Sentinel are the only really good tracks on Defenders. And don't even mention Point of Entry or Turbo. :cringe:

I dunno, I would never consider [I]Some Heads Are Gonna Roll[/I] to be a filler song.

And why did they never release [I]Heart of a Lion[/I] on [I]Turbo[/I]?

I never saw Turbo as a response to Glam, more a response to American Hair Metal I think, with a goodly amount of 80's [I]de riguer[/I] electro effects.

Quite possibly the worst metal album of all time.


Parental Guidance is my suggestion as the worst Priest track ever..

Truly ballsuck mungus :lol:

On the topic of Halford's sexuality, is he gay or bi? Just curious.

Does it really matter?

I'm not sure myself, but I think it's not really a reflection on anything the man has produced, musicwise.
