Hail South Korean Jesus!..and Wtf are you a year or 2 older than me?

Listened to the new Judas Priest album earlier. A pretty strong album for their standards, imo, but as a vocalist, I think Rob Halford is overrated as his voice does nothing for me. Kinda sounds like one of those voices that used to be good but now sounds like shit due to age, but he's pretty much always sounded like this. To me, he sounds like prime Axl Rose without the attitude and charisma. Of course, Axl sounds a thousand times worse than Halford these days. That guy needs to fuck off forever. But yeah. Some singers can have a not so great voice while, at the same time, having a pretty great voice. I don't think Rob Halford is one of them.

I think he still sounds good. Do you prefer Ripper Owens? I was listening to an Iced Earth song that featured both singers Matt Barlow AND Ripper Owens and I prefer Ripper in that instance.

I was wondering why you brought up such a random singer, but it occured to me that there was that one album without Halford, but I haven't heard that one yet. There's a few JP albums I still haven't heard. However, I did recently discover Iced Earth. Definitely my favorite metal discovery of the year so far. I didn't realize one of their singers was the one that filled in for Halford that time. I think I prefer Barlow, but I haven't heard much from Owens yet. Looks like they've had a couple other singers over the years.

Ripper did two albums with JP I think. Right around the time Blaze Bayley did two albums for Maiden. The lead singers in both bands got big-headed and tried out a solo career before realizing the band's stuff was still the main attraction.

Iced Earth is pretty good. I always thought Horror Show as a cool album. I used to listen to Blind Guardian a lot, and they're okay. The Iced Earth guitarist and the Blind Guardian singer did a side project band called Demons & Wizards, and I always thought they were pretty kick-ass. I might even like that band more than IE.

Bollocks. Rob Halford is one of the greatest metal singers of all time and still sounds great. And I don't know what you mean by "by their standards". Are you saying Priest are usually shit?

You wait until Nicko hears about this. He'll shit a brick. I'm disappointed in you Troma, very disappointed.

No, I definitely don't think Priest is shit, but definitely a little overrated. They're good. And they've come out with some albums that I'd call REALLY good. Sad Wings Of Destiny being my favorite. But yeah. I wouldn't call them great... Maybe if they had a better singer.

"I'm your Turbo Lover, Turbo Lover! Love me like there's no other!"

1. Listening to all bowies albums (for the first time in maybe 5 years)
I'm like have I never heard 'Lodger' before. The funny thing is, I remember now going back decades I say the same thing every time I hear it. I guess I just blot it out of my memory each time.

2. Fuck the Bowie estate are really shit-dumping new albums, god what a joke. Its not hendrix levels of badness but FFS stop flogging that dead rockstar

Fugazi may be the only band who made a few albums where their 2 best albums were there first (13 songs I'm counting) and last
