The "Alive In Athens" Appreciation Thread

Which is also TEH WIN.

Nick - you'd think someone who talks about how underrated Owens is would know who Winters Bane is. They're a power metal outfit from Ohio. Tim sang on their first release, 1993's Heart of A Killer, before being asked to join Priest. Very good album.

I was judging him solely based on his Iced Earth performance. I found his work with Priest to be boring. I'll check out Winters Bane, though.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Nothing Judas Priest does is boring. (Except Demolition, but we can blame that one on Glenn Tipton's kids.)

 

[anonymousnick2001]

On the contrary, I find much of Priest's work boring.

The only albums I got anything out of were British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, and Painkiller.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Pshaw. Sad Wings of Destiny, Sin After Sin, and Stained Class are three of the most important albums in metal history. Without them, no Maiden, no NWOBHM, no speed metal.

i love this cd(3 cd set)best live cd of all time

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Bah, Priest are overrated.

 

[Everlost]

Bah, Priest are overrated.

Can't beat that logic..

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

What logic? I say the Holy Trinity of Speed Metal is influential. He says Priest is overrated. Somewhere there is a disconnect.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Influential bands are often overrated.

I'll tell you something: Alive In Athens is THE best live album ever, and it's all you need by Iced Earth. Once you hear their studio albums, you love them, but then once you hear Alive In Athens you'll never go back. It's essentially the only album by Iced Earth that you need. It's really THAT good.

People from Athens are like sheep uke: just following what is in the magizine advertising.Such a macho metal band sucks.It sure is a mans world uke: men taking advantage of the Greek nation and taking food from our mouths.Slaves of USA uke:

[anonymousnick2001]

My sentiments exactly--Huh?

[anonymousnick2001]

Oh. My. God.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Agreed, but Rock In Rio is the best live album for me.
