He was trying to sound like that vocally, it’s not damage. He didn’t even really sing them that harsh on the No Prayer tour. It was a stylistic choice.

Thrash/harder sounding metal/angry sounding vocals/no keyboards or fantasy themes, that’s the point. People always debate genres and sub genres.

If this is right then it’s definitely not the Riggs logo. Almost looks like an Anhk which is the Egyptian symbol for life.

Probably a lot of b sides you guys aren’t thinking of. I guess they’re more forgivable because it’s an admission of them not being good enough for the album.

Poster shows more of the full art :

Cassette has slightly different artwork at the top.

Other random thoughts : It’s too close in title to Ozzy’s No Rest for the Wicked from a couple of years prior. The lead guitar intro melody in the title track is the melody of the vocal in Stairway To Heaven - dear lady can you hear the wind blow … Is that a skull motif above the letter i...

Nah, there’s three guitars or more on most of the 80s albums. Other producers don’t have a problem with it.

Yes, the issue was Steve was shoehorning them into being a thrash sounding band to try to keep up with what was hip at the time. And Bruce trying to sound tough on those raspy vocals just kills it, it sounds horrible. That FOTD era b-side where Dickinson calls a horse race and Metallica is...

You guys are totally offtopic but I will correct this thing about Helter Skelter - Paul read that press quote from Townshend about having a new raucous dirty sounding song and wrote Helter Skelter in response. He didn’t write it after hearing the song itself. He says on Anthology he still...

He absolutely cowrote the album, he just didn’t get credited. Inkeeping with the weird way new band members didn’t use to get any songwriting credit on their first album.

SFV. Painkiller and most of modern Priest just sounds like Spinal Tap to me. Everything cranked to 11 and that horrible clicky clacky drumming from Travis. He fucked the sound of the band up. Not sure why they keep trying to rewrite Painkiller all the time, SFV sold four times as many copies...

The fact that they’ve used Kevin Shirley for 25 years suggests they are deaf. Or at least Steve is.

Maybe they can do some Phil Collins covers.

Bands in massive shows use triggers (prerecorded samples that fire when you hit each drum) or in some instances a combination of trigger and live sound. So the size of the drums and the kit is largely irrelevant.

The first three that spring to mind are Navigator, Rainmaker and Silent Planet. Hard to say three.

How bad the rest of the album is.

It’s a remaster not a remix.

Which is my point. Historically it was no where near as big as Beast or Hills but now it is. Now it’s a massive song, due in part to the beer, the flag waving during the show etc. It’s also way more popular now than songs like Madness and Daughter that were bigger on release than Trooper was -...

Ok, TIL that The Trooper is as famous as Run to the Hills and The Number of the Beast I guess. I hear both of those on the radio every second day, I don’t think I’ve ever heard The Trooper on the radio once in my life.
