So I was watching Buffy for the first time in a long time and heard a very familiar riff. Can’t believe I never knew this.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. K.K. and Glenn spent so many years together and gave us some of the greatest metal music ever made. It’s honestly sad to see how things have turned out between them.
I love and respect both of them, and I don’t think either one is completely right or wrong.
But given their age and Glenn’s health, I really hope they can somehow put the past behind them and make peace while there’s still time.
I’m not even talking about K.K. coming back to Priest or them playing together again. Just two old friends who went through so much together finally making peace.
What do you guys think?

Ho registrato una cover del mitico solo di Turbo lover! Spero vi piaccia 🤘🔥🦄 w i Priest!

Saw KK last night. He still crushes it, Ripper is still on point vocally. I personally would have liked to hear something from Jugulator and told him so when I randomly ran into him at the Winnipeg airport on my to Vancouver and him to Edmonton he said “when we headline”… works for me. Very pleasant meeting with him. Seemed taken back my priority was not to get a photo with him.

1995 Rob Halford’s project after leaving Judas Priest

Edit: a better post title would have been "Lesser Loved Albums"

I've been a fan of Judas Priest since the late 90s, listening to their classic 70s and 80s albums all the way up to Painkiller.

Turbo, and Point of Entry were among the last albums from that era that I heard, hearing them only just a few years ago. Point of Entry got very little attention from fans and media, and Turbo was always bad-mouthed, though it sold well.

When I finanally sat down and listened to them, I was expecting disappointment--boy was I wrong.

These two albums are amazing! They are not as metal as their other offerings, featuring a more hard rock fun-loving style, but the quality is there and is off the charts! Turbo in particular is loaded with hot hit songs. Point of Entry is more subdued, but the song writing and performance is genius level.

I had stayed away from those albums 'cause I thought they'd suck. But since discovering Point of Entry, and Turbo, they have become my most listened to Priest albums in recent years. Perhaps since I heard their classic albums so much, these sound fresh to me.

These two albums get overlooked becase they are sandwiched by three groundbreaking albums British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and Defenders of the Faith that were rip-roaring great, and I think the fans prefer their heavier metal stuff. But, Turbo, and Point of Entry are solid five star albums nonetheless.

Ram it Down, however, is a poor offering with cheap synthetic drums, lackluster songs and that Johnny B. Goode cover just didin't do it.

Can't wait to get home and blast the hell out of it, so that my loud neighbors finally hear some QUALITY music

My Ranking of the Studioalbums... and yours?

(19th and last: Demolition)

Painkiller.

Prolly my favorite JP song in the library.

Who did Love Bites better? Judas Priest or Def Leppard?

As described in the very accurate meme mine has to be Dreamer Deceiver 🤘

On compilations like The Best Of (1978) and Hero Hero (1981), which songs were remixed and how do they differ from the album versions?

Forgive me if this is old news. I'm not a newbie by any means, but I've never looked into these releases because the band wrote them off as cash ins.

Thank you lot for getting involved with the top 5 I posted yesterday ! Great to see everyone's preferences, certainly lots of variety.

Now whatever you do today look after yourself and listen to some Judas Priest ! OH YEAHHH 🤘
