I don't understand how one can possibly hate Judas Priest.

Oh sorry I didn't reply at first because I didn't know what the emoticon was about. I didn't see the bold font over the white and the grey background.
I guess I should explain what I don't like about them which is quite simple. To me they have that grandiose sound of metal that I generally dislike. It's the aesthetics of the music of heavy metal in general, "in your face high-notes/melodies of electric guitars and vocals", solos that don't mean anything. At least that's what I get when listening to their music and also with the other bands I've mentioned but they have their own particularity that I hate.
I just dislike their melody/riff structures in general and it's mostly looking through a musical filter rather than a metal one, which is why I probably bewildered you in the first place.
Sure if I put the metal glasses I can see how one sees Judas Priest as good.

Yeah, Judas Priest has made a total of like, 2 solid albums. The rest is pure bandwagon shit, except they always jump on the bandwagon at least 2 years too late. I will clarify what I mean sometime in a future review of a Priest album.

I actually can't stand most of their 80's material. Even Screaming For Vengeance.

But their first three records are some of my favorites of all time.

I used to be an avid Pantera fan. My interest has waned in the past year or so. In any case, I think it would be best if we just let the man die. He has been mourned to the fullest, you can't just keep bringing up the fact that he died though. Just put it to rest people.


Still happens with John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, etc..... so why not Dime?


Pantera seems to get a lot of shit on here, and I sense a lot of the people are just hate followers and have no other good reason to hate than to seem kvlt and then there's some who probably have a legitimate reason(s).

Pantera's music was not horrible, but it did inspire many of horrid bands, especially due to Phil's vocal approach and lyrics.


Ever thought that some people actually might dislike the music so bad that they hate it ?


Ever thought of reading what I typed?

"and then there's some who probably have a legitimate reason(s)."



Shame also that you hate so many good bands, but different strokes for different folks.
