But because i don't LOVE every album i am not a true fan! Where is the definition of a true fan written so that i can read it! Thanks! The Metallian!

Hey Metalman, try to check out a video of the Dortmund Festival from 1983. I think Priest was at
their peak on that one. I don't know that they've been better since. just an opinion though. (only matters to me)

I disagree. I didn't appreciate Blood Red Skies in the Epitaph tour date I attended, but I really appreciated Painkiller. Rob has always sung Painkiller with an acid vocal "compression" that makes the difference and allows him to keep the song near to the original even in recent times. High clear lines such BRS ones are obviously more difficult to manage. Rob confirmed it himself in a That Metal Show episode, when he said that Painkiller is one of the easiest song to sing alive in the whole Priest repertoire because it goes “into a register that’s pretty uniform”, while the toughest ones require “control on breath like Beyond the Realms of Death, i.e.”.

More, I found Rob's voice really great in this tour in an absolute sense, to be honest. Performances on many songs such as Victim of Changes and Beyond itself were totally amazing (and I tought it after a few quiet re-listening, not because of the emotion of the moment).

To be back in topic, I’m tired of people comparing every Priest album to Painkiller as well. :)
