Judas Priest

WTF happened the last 1.5 pages?

Maiden and Priest are merging into a single best ever band. The combined line up :

Vocals : Bruce Dickinson
Bass : Steve Harris
Guitars : Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers
Drums : Nicko McBrain

The position of the vocalist is the only one you can really argue about.

Nah. Jan writes good songs, but Richie smokes his playing in his sleep.

That's true but I greatly appreciate Janick's writing. Maybe we can settle this by picking prime Tipton.

 

[Brigantium]

There's no place for sentimentality in metal.

Apart from Matt 'Bleeding Heart' Barlow?

 

[GhostofCain]

Maiden can't do shit in the studio (sound production wise) since The X Factor. Sad.

Arguably incorrect.

 

[Magnus]

Joe Lazarus & Ritchie Faulkner playing To Tame a land

 

[Magnus]

Arguably incorrect.

As in, "they can do lots of shit"?

Tipton > Gers any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I agree otherwise.

Lead player, yes.

Songwriter, maybe.

 

[The Flash]

Lead player, yes.

Songwriter, maybe.

Songwriter definitely too, in my opinion. Pretty much all of the great Priest songs feature Tipton as a songwriter, in some cases as the sole songwriter. And on the rare occasion he's not a songwriter on a great Priest tune, he's the one that makes the song with his solo - should be obvious which song I'm referring to.

Beyond the Realms of Death?

 

[The Flash]

Beyond the Realms of Death?

Of course.

 

[Yax]

Of course.

That solo is fantastic. I quite like Ken's lead in the end too, its sheer Hendrix-esque aggression marries perfectly with Glenn's epic blues solo.

Tipton > Gers any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Yes, but what about post-Parkinson’s Tipton vs. Gers? Discuss.

 

[GhostofCain]

Yes, but what about post-Parkinson’s Tipton vs. Gers? Discuss.

A bit cruel, but definitely Gers.

 

[Jer]

A bit cruel, but definitely Gers.

Yeah, just wondering how deep the loyalty went. And Gers’s style approximates playing with Parkinson’s at times, so it’s an interesting comparison...

I was wondering when Jer was gonna step in with his roll of 2¢.

Hey, if you place a ball on a tee and hand me the bat...

I love watching Dave's playing. He's an iconic member, I'd hate to see him go.

I agree. Dave is certainly the most natural performer of the guys. He has more charisma than any of the other members.
