So, my band might be covering The Ripper...

That is awesome. The Ripper is one of, if not my favourite Priest track. Agent Steel do a mighty fine cover too.

I've started to listen to Priest again for the first time in a long time lately. I always forget how good they are.

So does the rest of the world. They never seem to get the real respect they deserve and are only really remembered for Breaking the Law and Another Thing Comin'.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]That is awesome. The Ripper is one of, if not my favourite Priest track. Agent Steel do a mighty fine cover too.[/QUOTE]

That they do, pig. That they do.

Ok, has anyone noticed the similarity between the "Blood Red Skies" intro and "The Hellion?" It's just the same thing, but played in a different key. Did they just like that riff so they used it again, or is there something deeper there? Also, which one came first?

The Hellion came first, and I can see the similarity but I don't think it is the same thing, exactly.

No, trust me, I'm a guitarist, and I'm sitting here playing both of them...they're the same thing...same scale, same melody, different positions.

It is definantly very similar. But i dont think its the EXACT same thing.

And the best priest songs are Painkiller, Hot Rock'n, The Sentinel, Turbo Lover, Turn On Your Light, Screaming For Vengence and Hell Bent For Leather. Judas Priest are a very good band and it is great that Halford is back, but Iron Maiden are still my favourite band, but only just, but Judas Priest are sitting right behind em.

Priest > Maiden

You all know I'm right :cool:

Painkiller, Hot Rockin', The Sentinel, Screaming For Vengeance and Hellbent For Leather, definitely. Turn On Your Light and Turbo Lover... not really. Why no love for anything from [I]Ram It Down[/I]?

But it's great to have Halford in Priest, yeah. Especially when they are a better band than Maiden. :p

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Priest > Maiden

Yup.

Hellbent for Leather is a pretty good album. Doesn't stand up to Stained Class but it's a solid album.

I chose Turn On Your Light because sometimes soft songs are good to listen to, like Angel aswell, and Turbo Lover is very underrated...

And yes Ram It Down is a mad album:thumb:, i like the songs Ram It Down, Halfords singing on Love Zone is good, Come and Get It is a great song, same with Hard As Iron, I love the lyrics to Im A Rocker, and the cover to Johnny B. Goode is great, so yeah, i do like Ram It Down lol. Is that enough love for ya? (listen to Ram It Down(the song) on repeat and at the start/end Halford screams, it seems like he just keeps holding the note then the song starts over again, its heaps cool :thumb:)

And as much as i love Judas Priest, Maiden are better, but only just. ;)

Stop it! My eyes cannot read anymore blasphmy!


This thread makes me sad :(

/goes off to maiden thread :cool:

Well, it looks like it's me, Riva and AR holding out against an army of Maiden fanboys.

I like Maiden as well as Priest, they're quite different so luckily I don't have to choose one or the other. Believe it or not, in the early 80s, the big 3 bands I was into were Priest, Maiden, and the Scorpions... Unfortunately The Scorpions went in too much of a pop direction for me to follow their newer albums

Yeah, I always really enjoyed the Scorpions, but they did have a different mood to their albums later on in their career.

*salutes*

So, Take on the World is a delightfully cheesy song. Even more so than United. And as we all know with Priest more cheese = better.

I liked that. I thought it was very creative.


NP: J. Priest - United

i saw priest in calgary on the retribution 2005 tour, with anthrax supporting. easily on eof the best shows i went to last year.
favorite priest album is ram it down, there new album is great, hellrider is my favorite track of it. my favorite priest songs would have to be diamonds and rust, victim of changes, beyond the realms of death, hellion/electric eye.
judas priest will always kick ***.

I need to see Priest.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I need to see Priest.[/QUOTE]



So do I. I actually need to see alot of bands when I think of it.

Yeah, same :(

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but I was watching Heavy: The Story of Metal or whatever it's called on VH1 and they a thing about Priest and it showed them in their early days with baggy hippy clothes and long hair (I couldn't even recognize Halford).

He said that song was cheesy, not Priest in general. There are plenty of metal bands that are cheesy. That doesnt mean that they are bad.

Reinforcements!

I love Maiden, but I can never understand why people prefer them to Priest.
