Judas Priest (Official Thread)

[Riff Raff]

Was great to hear Angel of Retribution again. Forgot how good that album was it was that long. The last couple of songs Eulogy and Loch Ness felt like it was leading into Nostradamus.

Yeah I agree with your comment.

Loch Ness is one of my favorite tunes they've ever done. That's saying a lot considering their entire catalog and perhaps I'm exaggerating a tad, but that's a really really cool tune. First time I hear it, I immediately thought "epic".

I like Lochness too!!! The hook in it got me right away!!

My favourites on Nostradamus Disc 1.
Prophecy


Death


Peace/Conquest

I love Judas Priest, shame KK's gone though, what a guitarist he was. I also think that Rob Halford's one of the best vocalists out there.

Just to demonstrate their awesomeness, they manage to make a fully grown Japanese bloke cry by just mentioning Breaking the Law (my favourite song of theirs) - 0:22 below:



Apart from that I also love I'm a Rocker

You'll get no arguement from a lot of people around here as this site has it's fair share of Judas Priest fans. For me personally, I have ranked Rob as one of the greatest vocalists of all time, typically TOP 2 (shared with Ronnie James Dio for me)


Both vids you included are pretty good! Thanks for the addition and welcome to the site.

I also rank Halford quite high on the list as one of the BEST vocalists ever!

 

[Riff Raff]

I think Painkiller was when Halford was at his shrill best. Especially on songs like All Guns Blazing and Metal Meltdown. In fact that entire album he was at his best vocally. He definitely fits the title of metal legend.

I didnt even know they were still touring past 2010.

^^ They are and doing a new studio album too.

Anyway Riding On The Wind is quickly rising as a favourite of mine. Probably overlooked this song too often.
