NOW PLAYING

[GhostofCain]

The real king of rock and roll!

I was fortunate enough to see him live. An absolute legend.

I really love this gig. Van is indeed the man!

Arguably the best heavy metal album of all time.

Agreed and just saw Dirkschneider play it all last night at Hell's Heroes!
Brought back memories

NP: Beast in Black - Power of the Beast

Judas Priest - Turbo
40th anniversary

What do you think?

I think it's a great album. They never disappoint. Robin McAuley is singing as well as always and the guitar work is unvelievable.

Yeah Draconian Times might be my favourite of them but this comes as a close second. Fantastic album!

God knows how much I wanted this style - or something similar - for a new Judas Priest album. Damn! They were gods.

From those three I´d put Sin 1st, then Class and Steel (probably a bit overrated) as a 3d.
I prefer the trio Vengeance/Defenders/Turbo though.

I love Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith. Turbo as a whole - not so much, though “Reckless,” “Locked In,” and “Turbo Lover” are very good.

My point is: whatever they do, they should stop trying to recreate the Painkiller style - or anything too similar. Either find a new direction or go back to their roots. The problem is, that’s nearly impossible now, because the original guitarists aren’t there anymore.
