Judas Priest have just scored their highest charting album ever with Invincible Shield

[JohnnyGtar]

Man, they are killing it live. I hope they make a DVD from this tour! I really like the set list.

 

[JohnnyGtar]

Thoroughly-deserved I reckon. By far their best album ever IMHO.

I can't decide whether I prefer Invincible Shield or Screaming for Vengeance as my favorite.

C'mon MM, that's a stretch. Best modern Priest album for sure though.

Please enlighten us as to how being gay "elevates" someone's societal status... and what's your definition of the term "societal status"?


I love JP because their music kicks ass. Been a fan of theirs since '78. When Halford came out as gay, it made no difference to me.

I was going to say the same thing. The album sounds amazing. If anything, it is because he is in his 70s and still singing better than most metal singers.

Highest charting but probably will struggle to sell a couple hundred thousands copies.

I'm actually glad Halford is gay. That just proves there is room for everyone in the metal community.

 

[Beyond Black]

By that logic, Polyphia should be a lot bigger now.

Much in the way we allow that self loathing closet dweller Geo to remain a Rigtalk member.

Either speak up or come out, I can’t hear you from in there.

 

[MTS]

Really, that was funny? I think you and MTS need to get a room.

awwwww poor wittle snowflakes feelings are hurt
invincible shield of homosexuality

 

[MTS]

CUM TO DADDY AND GET YOUR RED HOT WHITE HEAT RAW DEAL ON TURBO GEO

 

[MTS]

So, you allow it huh fuck face?

it's almost sad that your retorts are grade school level moronic pre dick table knee jerk vulgarity with zero wit or depth but then again we do realize you are a lobotomized magat so it kinda makes sense

 

[MTS]

Anyhow....Back on topic
This record is crushing.
I love JP and learned the basics of guitar playing from sad wings to screaming [and sabbath /vh etc]
For me it's impossible to name a fave or a "best".
I'll say that pour moi this record destroys firepower by a wide margin.
I am lucky enough to have seen JP live with kk a few times AND Halford with Russ Parish pre satchel [FIGHT} in a small club.

 

[Geo]

I love JP

Who gives a shit what you love, you are a fucking idiot.

FFS people It's simple...they made a great album...build it and they will come. Don't try to adapt to trends, don't hold back...deliver your classic sound/attitude and fans will be receptive.

 

[Monkey Man]

That 'bout sums it up IMHO @Purpleibby.

C'mon MM, that's a stretch. Best modern Priest album for sure though.

Hey, as they say in the classics, there's no accounting for taste bro'.

 

[rsm]

The first JP I heard was Stained Class when it was first released. piled into the back of a 4-door maverick in the middle of winter with the heat on full blast....purchased the LP in the next few days.


They lost me at after Screaming for Vengeance because Metallica, Slayer,...

I saw JP and IM more than a few times together, and honestly, always enjoyed IM more.

 

[skoora]

I love JP but it makes me wonder, are they getting promoted due to RH's homosexuality?

It's a shame I have to think that way now.

?‍ times a million on that one.
