Aww, sweet! Good to finally see a thread about Priest. They're one of my favorite metal bands of all time. On the top of the list alongside Megadeth :rock:

Also [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgnOJXIvu6s[/media]

One of my favorite covers of all time.

[Hakita]

I myself was wondering why nobody made a thread about Judas. Im also listening to Nostradamus at the moment.

[Rad McCool]

Priest!!!!!!!
Their best song is "[i]Between the Hammer & The Anvil[/i]", but there are so many songs made of steel.
Fantastic band. Saw them last time they were here - in February I think.

The high screaming-ish vocals remind me of Power Metal. :smug:

I like them okay. I'm a huge Metal head, but I've just never got really into them. I unno why. Rob Halford should be my idol, probably being the biggest gay figure in the Metal world.

All around awesome.

Judas Priest has some of the coolest album covers.

And Rob Halford in Brutal Legend was pretty awesome.

[Vedicardi]

Exciter by Judas Priest on Unleashed in the East is beyond legendary

they are basically one of the first three pure heavy metal bands so of course other genres would take elements of their music

No one beats Rob. :smug:

The Fire Baron in Brutal Legened was voiced by Rob, as was General Lyonwhite.

Also, did you guys here about PETA contacting Judas Priest and asking them to rename Hell Bent for Leather, Hell Bent for [b]P[/b]leather?

With further investigation, both Downing and Tipton play Lead and Rythm guitars.
