Priest Live Discs

sixxswine · May 3, 2003

Just got done listening to the Live in London disc by Priest.
Man, this blows. I have the DVD, it doesn't work as well on disc.
Yes, even with the additional tracks on the 2 disc set.
So I figured how about a poll? Best Priest Live disc.

Unleashed in the East?-No long enough-But Halford is great.

Priest Live?-Too slick sounding-sounds like a lot of studio touch ups...

Meltdown '98?-The Priest cover band. This is the best sounding Live record in my opinion. Too bad it's not Rob singing on this.

Live In London?-Is it just me or does the "Ripper Intros" to each song make this sound like a metal lounge act?!

Unleashed in the East of course. None of their live ablums even begin to compare to it.

Unleashed in the East (though how much of the album is actually live is open to debate)

Priest in the East! (the full version with the 6 missing tracks)
On this recording "only" the audience is total fake I think...

"Priest Live" is not that bad, though some songs could have been replaced.

I'm not fond of the sound of the last 2 live albums, but Ripper is indeed a great vocalist.

I haven't picked up the Unleashed in the East with the bonus 6 missing tracks, but it's on the list. I agree with you Ripper is great, but nothing beats the real deal.

"Unleashed In The East" is no 1 without competition. "Priest Live!" is also worth having. The latter day ones are just crap, I am a strict JP traditionalist

I gotta go with Meltdown 98 as the best. Its 2 CD's and covers a ton of excellent songs throughout the bands career. Second would be Unleashed in the East which has a raw feel that was lacking on the Live 87 disc.

Unleashed... Kickass album... Of course, the Ripper-era live albums are not without their charm... You'll find most of the Demolition stuff that didn't sound so great on the Studio release sounds amazing live.

"priest live" is one of the worst live albums of all time.....

:Smug:

unleashed one of the best

I agree with you, Swine. Meltdown is the best all around. I really like Ripper as a singer but he SUCKS as a frontman. The man has all the charisma of a bowling shoe. On the dvd he looks as if he even thinks he's silly and he's ashamed of having to do these lame ass intros to the songs.....

He's got great pipes & all, the guy just doesn't seem to have any stage presence...
Like Kurt Cobain. Remember him? Stood there like a carcass proped next to the mic stand....

Unleashed In The East. I don't even like live albums, and i LOVE this one!

JonnyD · May 29, 2003

I love Live albums Priest's Meltdown is one of the best I'v heard For me its right up their with "Decade of aggression" "Tokyo Showdown" Ect.
I saw Priest Live twice last year First with Anthrax Then by themselves Both shows were Excelent What can I say I'm not a big fan of the studio stuff with ripper A few songs stand out "Bullet Train" "Blood Stained" "Hell is Home" But thats about it But the kid Gets it done live You have to see him to belive it Go see a Priest show with Ripper in A place with no seats its Hellish Good fun

You like that eh?! I've got a million of 'em.
Like did you hear about the movie they are making about the life of Kurt Cobain?!

I agree with you I don't care for any Ripper studio stuff.
Maybe, Machine Man, the lyrics are shit though. the track had such potential.

Oh yeah, the answer? It's gonna be called "Headless In Seattle."
