I remember when all the punk bands went metal, DRI, CoC and whatnot. Though I was less than impressed with their output I always thought “Man, Halford would KILL in a Speedmetal band”. A few years later Painkiller came out and my prayers were answered. Unfortunately Fight was another story.

Judas Priest: Exciter
June 28, 2006Ahhh Judas Priest, I’ve decided after years of deep thought and analyzing that indeed Judas Priest is my favorite metal band. Better than Slayer, Van Halen, Rainbow, even Maiden. The clincher was watching Judas Priest the Metal Years video that I have in my possession. They were holding it down and made dudes like Slayer wanna dress up like leather boys before they knew Halford was gay.
They’ve had an imprint on all things metal there is not a band even now that isnt some how touched by either Priest’s style or music.Even these new “metal” bands that rely on more lipstick and keyboards than chops have fallen under the evil spell of the Judas Priest… All Hail…
