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.

there's only one thing I want to say...I hope you get my point
we(I hope so) all here are priest fans...at least I am...I also understand that all of us could have a favorite album, or more. the thing is that someone who pretends that "his or her" favorite band keep the style of one single album DOES NOT DESERVE to be considered a fan...bands are not only our favorite album, and real bands have a style...I cannot say priest is not priest because roca rolla is very different from ram it down...the thing is that those who pretend that a band keep the same scheme and that every single album sounds the same instead of keeping its escence or its style is not a real fan, cannot be considered a real fan and his or her point of view could also become offensive...would't you get bored of listening any album if it is just the same as a previous one or the following one??
I'm very happy that all priest albums are different...because that's what we love of music, its variability and the capability of our musicians, our artists to show what they can do...if all albums are just the same I would probably think that the members of that band don't know how to play a guitar or the drums because all tracks are just a copy of any other...
to conclude...there's no band keeping the same style in one album or another...every album is a new experience, and every album should have its own mysticism and its own spirit in its own way! Edited at: Saturday, June 13, 2009 10:33:59 AM
