Painkilller is overdone

I am sick of people comparing every Priest album to Painkiller.

I think if you dance like Rick, the voice comes with it! Maybe the hair too?

Well, all three is possible... Only one way to find out.

And yeah, it is a catchy tune (and Im dead serious here!), and the dance looks so nerdy that even I could do it.

LIkely ALL are a fatal Rick Roll Trap! I'll take whats behind door Number three! Oh, Rickrolled again!
Funny, I'm overcome with the urge to dance as nerdy as possible? How could this be?

[_strat_] Saturday, June 13, 2009 11:33:29 AM

You underestimate my powers, grashopper.

There is a rickroll... One of these three... Take your pick.

It could be...

This one,

This one,

or

This one.

Is someone who likes the Number of the Beast a fake Iron Maiden fan? Is someone who likes the Ace of Spades a fake Motorhead fan? Bullshit. Im not sure who came up with the idea that people who like British Steel (which definately includes me) are fanboys and sheep, but its just ridiculous.

Oh, and Spa... I like Troubleshooter...

That's very well said, pao. You know, whether or not Painkiller is "overdone" or "overrated" or whatever is rather subjective anyway. As you mentioned, it is different for everyone. To me, Painkiller represents a time in my life when I was straying from Priest's music. I had really not paid a lot of attention to them for a while and then Painkiller was released. It had a sound that reminded me of the older, classic Priest and I fell in love with it.

There has been some debate over British Steel, and all but I like the album. Period. I do not see how that qualifies me as a "sheep" or a "fanboy" or any other juvenile insult. Those that like Turbo are welcome to that opinion. I do not care for it. Don't hate it. I just do not have it in my top five. Same with Point of Entry and Rockarolla. Does not mean they are bad albums. I think the best part in all of this is that we all have our opinions and we all can agree we LOVE the Band. At the end of it all, THAT is what matters.

Even if someone came on here and declared "Troubleshooter" was their favorite song of all time. I might check their temperature to assure they were not delusional, but I would respect their right to love that song! And then, maybe giggle in private! LOL

I agree with you 101%!!!! It just bothered me when I heard some kids listening to British Steel and saying it could not have been JP, becuase it did not sound like Painkiller. Maybe they will learn.....

But really I love Painkiller, it is a great album, I just wished that other albums will get that same respect. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by spapad from Friday, June 12, 2009 11:43:45 PM)

They have done Fabulous albums over time, and we all have been loving each and everyone one of them! It's some people's opinion but by no way all our opinions, that Painkiller is the one classic.

I am a diehard fan of the Priest. I love all their albums, and the only song I would surely call on the carpet is "Troubleshooter" Oh my God! I couldnt look the members of JP in the face and tell them I like that song. It is the only truely lame song they have released over the many years they have been around.

The library of Metal they have produced is wonderfull! There is no "bad" Album. Each album has it's credibility and I know you can see that.

Well... Heres my two cents... I agree, Painkiller seems to be getting the most attention. Good or bad... I dont know, it just seems to be their most popular song and album, so I guess the attention it gets makes sense. Doesnt bother me.

Personaly, Painkiller is far from my favourite Priest song, and the same with the album. If Priest ever do an album like one they already did, I hope they will look to stuff like Turbo, Point of Entry or Defenders of the Faith for inspiration.

I am not burnt out on listening to it. I love the album, all I am saying is that I am sick of everyone wanting Priest to make another Painkiller, okay, Painkiller was great, but I think it is time to move on. I have read reviews on other sites of AOR and Nostradomus. For AOR they say it sounds too much like Painkiller. For Nostradamus they say it is dissapionting becuase it doesnt sound like Painkiller.

In fact one of my favorite JP songs is One Shot at Glory, I have nothing against the album itself. Go read the threads, read them. I promise you on every thread dealing with any Priest music everyone jumps on the bandwagon. It is like, "Okay I want to look like I know something about Priest, I will just rant and rave about how great Painkiller is." Also, just go and listen to some other Priest albums, Defenders of the Faith or Sin After Sin, I cant name many people who rant and rave over them. They are great albums to. I encourage all fans to listen to every album. I can honesly say I love them all. From Rocka Rolla to Nostradomus, including the Tim Owens years. I really love them all. I think a lot of them are overlooked. Yes, on a few of the albums there are songs I skip over sometimes becuase I really dont like them very much, but I love JPs music, Painkiller included.

no, i dont think so at all....most priest fans tht i know like all their earlier stuff and, even some ppl think Painkiller was an embarrasment, I think Painkiller is actually Underrated, it is an amazing album, but i dont "compare" other priest albums to painkiller. I respect your opinion, but i disagree with it. \m/

I used to love Painkiller, but now I am completly burnt out on it. Painkiller this, Painkiller that, I am sick of everyone comparing everything thing about Priest to Painkiller. JP has made other albums. Does anyone share my opinoin?
