Judas Priest

Sucks hey.
I read about this the other week.
Will be tough for him watching someone else play his music. I hope he gets the chance to remain involved to some degree

Still waiting for my vinyl copy to arrive >:D

What I've heard kicks ass though.

Enjoyed that quite a lot! Someday I will give Judas Priest a real chance. I've only heard maybe...5 songs in total.

I'm not a huge fan of them, but every song I hear from them always makes me smile. 

You should listen to more of their stuff though, they have some real gems.

That Spectre song is pretty cool (good riff/vocals) might check the rest of the album out. 

Angel of Retribution is quite underrated too.


Awesome album

Yes, it was called Ram It Down. They realized they went to far with that album and decided to get a way better drummer (well he left, but still). I mean that album has a song with a drum machine. Judas Priest during the late 80s went a bit too heavily in the 80s sound.

I'm more of the 70s Priest fan, but after Defender of the Faith, they got a bit too 80s for my liking. Turbo and Ram It Down waaayyy too reverby for me.

Man I can't get enough of this album. Rob sounds great, kick ass riffs sprinkled everywhere, the production is top notch. It's bad ass.

I'd actually change British Steel for Firepower, but otherwise, yeah. British Steel is definitely one of the better ones.

Only really like Dreamer Deceiver off that album.

I actually got a Megadeth/Metallica vibe on a few songs from Firepower, if the rumours are true that Andy Sneap contributed to the songwriting then I imagine that's where that influence came from. 

I only own The Chosen Few cd. Other heavy metal artists chose the tracklist of this 'best of'. So you get all favourites on one cd. Good stuff. I especially enjoy The Sentinel (chosen by  and from the older songs The Ripper (which was also chosen by Ozzy Osbourne I think). James Hetfield chose Victim of changes and Lars Ulrich chose Beyond the realms of death.
