judas priest fucking sucks

[Dark One]

Nah, sorry. Defenders of the Faith and Ram it Down both have killer songs on them. 70's priest will always be the superior era though, that's for sure.

This is pretty much my sentiment as well, with the addition of Painkiller to the post 1979 list.

Sad Wings of Destiny = essential

Nice playlist.

did i just detect sarcasm... on the internet

Sad Wings of Destiny = essential

obviously

"victim of changes" is top 10 heavy metal songs of all time material

also "rocka rolla" is essential if only for "run of the mill" which, while subtler and not as spectacular as the aforementioned, is perhaps the band's finest moment

 

[swizzlenuts]

"the band" (singular) "sucks"
"they" (plural = the members of the band, in particular rob halford) "suck"

try again mr british man

try again mr sweede man

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

wow

 

[EricT]

It's "sucks". Granted, considering it's a fucking slang usage of the word, nobody is really right.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Since this particular use of "suck/sucks" is vulgar slang, it really doesn't matter.

Dude, you look like King Diamond. You know what this means.

Paint that shit up and post pics.

I'd have to say I don't agree with the title of the thread. Seeing that it's all opinion (as is everything), it seems that those who were around when the albums were actually released may have a different view than those who have the luxury of absorbing an entire catalog years (decades?) after the fact.

I have no idea what age most of you are, but my first exposure to Priest was when I picked up Defenders of The Faith on vinyl as a new release. I was a 12/13 year old kid and this record kicked my ass. From there I went back and picked up SFV. Those two albums will always be classics to me.

Speaking for people I know, aside from those who disregard the band due to Halford's homosexuality (which is fucking ridiculous), I honestly don't know anyone who would agree that Priest sucks (up through, and including, Defenders).

[einride]

are the Japanese really this fucking bored and sick?

yes

probably something to do with working 12 hours a day and having extremely repressed sexuality

 

[MrGlam999Metal]

Fuck you.

Furthermore, Judas Priest is vastly superior to Iron Maiden.

Yes, fuck you
Judas Priest were always amazing with Halford
But i like Maiden slightly more
