Why is Painkiller the best metal album ever made.
Why is Painkiller the best metal album ever made
Jonathan Green
Nolan Sanchez
not even the best meatloaf
Alexander Barnes
They realized every song should sound like Freewheel Burning
Julian Miller
Because you're gay
Brandon Nguyen
But classic Metallica has aged so much better
Henry Phillips
>Comparing Metallica to Priest
Jesus fucking wept
Julian Cruz
David Morgan

FASTER THAN A BULLET
TERRIFYING SCREAM
Mason Smith
Luis Richardson
>they are within the same genre
Metalfags are so fucking prissy about their loud obnoxious music that's meant to be fun
Jackson Cook
Yeah, only Metallica are shit and Priest aren't
Isaiah Sullivan
but Kill em All exists user
Wyatt Wright
Metallica have one good song and it's ride the lightning. The rest is shit.
Jason King
I'd take venom over Metallica
Ethan Thompson
Painkiller isn't honestly that good; the lyrics approach a new level of cheese and Rob's singing had deteriorated noticeably by 1990. The best part is Tipton and Downing's guitars.
Jose Hernandez
Different strokes for different folks.
Jace Lee
Can we both agree at least that paranoid is top tier shit
Owen Bailey
The solo in Painkiller is a bastard to play, however I seem to remember hearing that it was made out of studio overdubs and Tipton couldn't actually play it live.
Carson Cooper
It's a dual guitar solo is it not?
Anthony Foster
How much do you wish you could play it that well
Carson Davis
Not unusual. Priest did sometimes do studio overdubs like that, for example the SFV title track.
Jonathan Garcia
TBCF, Judas Priest peaked as a studio band on Sad Wings through Hell Bent.
Dylan Hill
Not even the best Priest album. Sad Wings, Stained Class, and Defenders are better.
Hell, Crimson Glory preempts that album by like 4 years.
Jace Foster
Painkiller kind of comes off as more of a desperation "Oh no, Metallica and Slayer are making our washed up 40 year old asses look bad we gotta do something about this." move.
Austin Gonzalez
Metallica wouldn't exist without Judas Priest.
Most American metal is complete dog shit to be fair.
Julian Ortiz
>Kek's sacred digits
Confirmed.
The reason is that the riffs are perfect, the solos are face-melting, the vox are insane, it's the logical conclusion of metal's extremity.
Juan Gray
>Crimson Glory
>remotely comparable to Painkiller
Kek. The Crimson Glory S/T is good, but it's just a second-rate USPM album, and on the softer side. Painkiller is pure ravaging steel.
Josiah Lewis
If I had to compare Painkiller with an older American album I'd compare it with Thundersteel

Painkiller was a return to form after several meh-tier 80's albums
Halford got a second wind in the 90s, this song kicks all kinds of ass
Brody Davis
Wow you guys sure know shit about metal
Jace Miller
Being a fan of Painkiller is the ultimate sign of musical maturity
Isaac Butler
It was the pinnacle of their entire discography with Halford on vocals. Everything that came after that was dogshit. Every Judas Priest album before painkiller is fucking fantastic, and they kinda put the icing on the cake with this album. Seriously, there isn't one bad song on the album. It might not be the BEST metal album of all time, but it's deferentially one of the most groundbreaking metal albums of all time.
Hudson Collins
Judas Priest:
[Meltdown, 1970s]
[Everything Rocks and Nothing Ever Dies, 1990s]
Jordan Williams
Painkiller will never be the pinnacle of metal simply because Halford et al had forgotten how to write decent lyrics by that point. They sure weren't coming up with anymore Beyond The Realms of Deaths.
Adrian Young
Why is this hack still alive?
Lucas Gomez
This. Why even do something faggy and retarded like make a cover of a chick song like diamonds and rust.
>inb4 actual fag
doesn't mean you gotta act like one
Levi Sullivan
>Why even do something faggy and retarded like make a cover of a chick song like diamonds and rust
That was very early when Priest were still finding themselves, besides the D&R cover was primarily intended as a token radio-friendly song.
Evan Thomas
"We were always recording lots of covers because CBS asked us to. We ended up not using most of them because we didn't like how they came out or else we thought the song didn't 'fit' us. Some of them like 'Better By You, Better Than Me' and 'The Green Manalishi' came out really good."
-- Rob Halford
Christian Phillips
The studio version of D&R is ass (love that roller disco sound), but they did lots of excellent live versions.
Alexander Rivera
Most of Priest's songs are better live than in the studio, especially the early stuff like Victim of Changes and Sinner.
Chase Watson
There's a couple of different columns/reviews where he insults Judas Priest without actually mentioning them by name. Eg.
No Remorse [Bronze, 1984]
The critics who used to call Motorhead the worst band in the world had a point, which may be why Lemmy's high-speed metal has now turned into the thinking person's headbang. The stuff is so pure it's almost rarefied: no operatic declamations, no schlocky guitaristics, no satanism or medievalism or sci-fi or sexist s&m. Just aggression, violence, noise. Lemmy doesn't even bellow--his voice is more a hoarse, loud, one-note roar. This tasteful two-disc best-of-plus-four (new and definitive: "Killed By Death") is the first Motorhead product praised by Headheads since No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, eight of whose eleven songs it includes (the eight best, too). Unless you've got an extra Y chromosome or beat your meat till it bleeds, you likely don't need it on a regular basis. But it'll sure come in handy at those precious moments when you want nothing so much as to smash somebody's face. A-

Also, this album isn't even that good. Master of Puppets is probably the bestt metal album in any way
Ayden Smith

Levi Hughes
Only Yuropoors care about Manowar.
Ethan Davis

Daniel Collins
