Turbine Freight Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Prefer the 70s stuff myself. Killing Machine is my fave. But love Screaming & Defenders too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 well it depends, if you lean towards what's heavier, the 70s stuff is your thing. if you're more into, I dunno, hair metal or something, 80s priest is your favorite I'd say the song Screaming for Vengeance or Freewheel Burning are plenty heavy, no? But personally, I've never been a big fan of the stuff where the band sounds like they're having a race to see who can get through the song first, and the lyrics are about the joys of killing your mother, so that's probably why I lean the way I do.

bathory Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I just think it's undeniable that the 80s priest records have a way more commercial sound, and I just prefer the more pure heavy metal approach of sad wings or stained class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a buddy who loves Painkiller and Dehumanizer because, in his words, they are concrete heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 dehumanizer?? I guess it's heavier than most of their 80s and 90s catalogue (nothing touches their 70s stuff in terms of heaviness) but the songs are just average to me. not a bad record, but nothing I really wanna listen to when heaven and hell and mob rules already exist. I even prefer the devil you know to dehumanizer probably. painkiller is heavy as hell and still has speed, aggression, melody, a lot of things I like about priest's sound. it's definitely a comeback record (after the stinkers turbo and ram it down) and the last great priest record to me.

The 70s output was just more brutal and less cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy Within 77 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yup, Dave Holland is such a weak drummer. I'm with bathory- I love all Priest, but there's no denying from British Steel on it was more commercial. You can even say it started on Killing Machine- which is an amazing album btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Not only is Dave Holland a shitty drummer, but he's also a sick f*k who molests boys who are in wheelchairs! Les Binks was the best drummer they ever had- too bad he didn't last longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
