5 Reasons People Hate JUDAS PRIEST

[@MattKittredge2112]

There's two types of people in this world: 1.) People who LIKE Judas Priest 2.) People who have never heard "Painkiller" yet.

[@muthu1046]

True.. Painkiller, Breaking the Law & Electric Eye got me into Judas Priest

[@centralia83]

Yeah Painkiller is killer lol

[@pjn2432]

Miguel Chavarin Dislike and hate are a bit different tho

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

I heard Painkiller and Scott Travis is the reason that album is great, not Halford. Bring back RIPPER. Been a JP fan for over 35 years, Maiden blows them AWAY. I miss Ripper.

[@Tankyard]

Ripper is good but his voice is not JP style, I like Ripper in Iced Earth and his voice is much more for IE style, but in JP he was decent, not like Halford

[@tominatorxx]

Really? There are still people that use the fact that Rob is gay as a reason to hate the band? That's just low, they should be ashamed!

[@sethboooooi23245]

tominatorxx It's like hating someone because they have a prosthetic leg. Its laughable

[@baddieb6091]

They are most likely Christians ranting on things that have gay stuff and commenting bible quotes. I don't care if he's gay or not their music is good.

[@bimmyfrizzo3988]

Yeah I guess the homophobic bigots are probably afraid that if they start listening to judas priest, it will automatically turn them gay and gods gonna send them to hell. smfh

[@ARR0WMANC3R]

Hating Judas Priest should be illegal. It should be breaking the law to hate them.

[@A_Bowl_Cut]

nice pun

[@seven-im3xf]

They get death sentence from "painkillers"

[@thearchivist7824]

I don't like them at all.

[@ARR0WMANC3R]

You don't like them? Really? Well, some heads are gonna roll...

[@monstergirl6342]

Same stuff i heard when i said i am not a fan of Pantera - ''What you do not like Pantera? Then you are Not metalhead'' And stuff like that. Some people can't understand that Hate and Dislike have different meanings. Same way i can say ''Hey you do not like Messugah? Then you can't call yourself a metalhead''...As absurd as that

I once took a girl I was seeing to a Megadeth concert. On the way there I played Painkiller and she said it sounded awful and she had never heard of Judas Priest. After the concert I played some Anthrax, Pantera, Machine Head and Black Sabbath. She didn't enjoy and or know anyone them. Dropped her off at her house and never talked to her again.

[@ryandoran6963]

How could someone hate Judas Priest?

[@tominatorxx]

That's a good question. I don't know why someone would hate them. They made some of the most iconic metal albums. They are fantastic!

[@themadmattster9647]

metalcore/djent/nu metal type people (i dont hate all of those genres btw) often think because theres no downtuning for the majority of Priest it therefore "isn't metal", only "hard rock". Of course it was METAL FOR THE TIME so therefore its metal!

[@brucenatelee]

By today's standards, a lot of the older music can come off as hard rock than metal, though a lot of the metal today simply incorporates more punk/hardcore elements into it.

[@DevyV2]

brucenatelee only people that don't know what the essence of metal is don't think priest is metal

[@thearchivist7824]

Or just people who don't really enjoy them. You know it doesn't have to be that complicated. You can be a "metalhead" without liking "classic metal" at all.

[@villainsdeeds]

Judas Priest is the greatest band ever.

[@dylanrus8117]

[@calamityleo]

[@procrastinatorink]

If you hate Judas Priest You cant call yourself a metalhead.

[@thearchivist7824]

Elitist prick.

[@tommythecat7752]

The Abyssal Archivist It's not elitism. It's respecting the genre's roots. If you like Metal then you have a lot to thank Judas Priest for

[@thearchivist7824]

I don't think Judas Priest had no influence. Of course they did! I just don't really understand why so many people like them.

[@tommythecat7752]

I get that, I'm just saying that hating Judas Priest is indeed mutually exclusive with being a Metalhead. Not liking their music is fine, but hating them is ignorant. I'm not having a go at you, I was just trying to explain that

[@thearchivist7824]

I don'y genuinely HATE them. I just don't like the majority of their material.

[@SpenceDaFence]

In my opinion, Priest invented traditional metal with Sad Wings the same way Sabbath invented Doom metal with their S/T album. Judas Priest were a metal band way before British Steel, in fact Rocka Rolla was their only non-metal album from the 70's

[@andrastereminiec7599]

British metal..yeah

[@Roargus]

Priest invented thrash metal with "Dissident Aggressor". If people claim that JP isn't HM, well then they're not metal. A person who claims to be a metalhead, and disregards the work of the band for the genre, isn't worth listening to at all.

[@andrastereminiec7599]

Roar Priest is British Metal... But ,could Priest also be one of the inspirations for Power metal?

Judas Priest are Heavy Metal pioneers, they deserve respect for what they have brought to the world of music. They will forever be one of my most favourite bands of all time 🤘

[@crazydud3380]

Much like with Iron Maiden, I have never heard of a metalhead hating Judas Priest.

[@pjn2432]

I know people who dislike Maiden but not hate them. Also, these people failed class all the time

[@GallifreyeanTrailers]

I've never met a metalhead who doesn't hate a JP album tho.

[@mrt1626]

I listened to AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Kiss, and other hard rock bands from the time I was 11 years old (1974). In 1981 my girlfriend bought tickets to see Judas Priest and I knew little about them but we went to see them at Long Beach Arena. I was BLOWN AWAY! I'd never experienced a Heavy Metal concert before and they kicked major butt! Their sound was like a wall of power with everything hitting at once and clicking together! And a buddy got tickets to see a band called Angel at the Santa Monica Civic (1978). Wasn't a fan but I'm glad that I went because. the opener was some group called Quiet Riot (they weren't considered metal at that time), and the guitar player was some guy named RANDY RHOADS! Will never forget that either!

[@t.josephcravens4272]

the fact that they are called heavy metal does not mean a thing to me. they are one of the greatest bands of all time, regardless of genre. their music has held up extremely well, much more than iron maiden.

[@pjn2432]

Joseph Cravens I agree with you up until the Maiden part

[@smokesletsgo2374]

I've seen probably 50 bands live in my life (not including openers) and no one comes close to Judas Priest for live sound. AC/DC is second best

[@beamerstrumpet]

BLS opening for JP NOW THAT WAS A CONCERT!

[@Tmac327]

I completely agree! their sound live is the crispest clearest perfect level of loud. its hard to describe it but nothing comes close to the quality of their live sound!

[@MidnightIsolde]

They were wonderful when I saw them a few years ago. Superior to many other live acts, and certainly amongst the best live acts ever. Very professional and tight performance.

[@aryamikhail1301]

I fucking love Judas Priest, they're my favorite metal band. I discovered metal through Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules", and when I found JP I was blown away. Robs vocals, Glenn & KK's guitar harmonies, and just the songs themselves are fantastic. They're 70's stuff is amazing and their 80's stuff, while not as great, are still fucking classics. Painkiller is a masterpiece that basically sounds like the love child of Sanctuary's "Refuge Denied" & Riot's "Thundersteel". Jugulator is also fantastic for what it is, a dark and heavy piece of metal(Cathedral Spires is god-like). Nostradamus is also fucking amazing for its bold experimentation.

[@Lightning-gg5iu]

I though Rob being gay would be 4 or 5 Still a stupid reason to hate Judas Priest

[@themadmattster9647]

my brother (RIP) stopped listening to Priest because of Rob coming out. Sad but a reality. But I still don't get how you can watch videos like Hot Rockin and NOT have known!

[@chrisgriderjr3870]

Same dude. Such a shame homophobia can get in the way of such great music.

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

The music should always come first. If you hate Priest because Rob is a gay man, it clearly shows that you don't focus first and foremost on their music, but on the personal lives of the band members.

[@MrCapone1996]

Halford is one of my favorite singers of all time

[@Meemitalo_]

I hardly even remembered that he's gay XD the ton I care!

[@themadmattster9647]

I know I'm in the minority here, but I thought Nostradamus was awesome. And listening to their recent live album, Rob's voice is at least halfway there again.

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

I thought Nostradamus was stellar as well. I also agree about Rob's vocals. He quit smoking a few years ago; that's possibly the reason for the drastic change.

[@arturoaqm2812]

[@ArgoDave]

Dunno know why people wouldn't like Nostradamus. Sure it was different than the usual Priest sound but it was inventive and different enough to be interesting. People rip on AC/DC doing the same stuff over and over, at least Priest showed some imagination. saw a documentary about the real Nostradamus and understood it better because of listening to Priests album so much.

[@jugulator0]

Jugulator & Demolition are worth having a second listen to...

[@konanarcher]

as a 17 year old metalhead i can say that kk and glenn have greatly influenced my playstyle ...these two Mustaine Iommi and Shuldiner are my personal metal gods

[@MidnightIsolde]

mmm I wouldn't say that British Steel is the first metal album of Judas Priest - it's Stained Class. But it's a vague and hard to define distinction. You could say that it's Sad Wings or Sin after Sin too, the only reasoning for not doing so would be because they retain typical elements of 70s hard rock and progressive rock, whereas Stained Class is where a coherent style emerges in a mature state. Regarding Black Sabbath, they of course established the heavy darkness required of metal, but their albums were still blues based and still retained typical elements of late 60s and 70s hard rock. In other words, they will still part of a typical zeitgeist, as were Priest at first, rather than presenting albums that were clearly different and definable as 'metal albums', rather than heavy hard rock or heavy progressive rock.

[@marc2000z]

Judas Priest is one of the best bands of all time and one of my favorite bands of all time, if you hate them, you are breaking the law. But there will be reasons why they hate em like: 5. Turbo (Though I like the album, some people will hate it because it's Glam Metal oriented, and has a heavy use of synth guitars) 4. Tim "The Ripper" Owens (He's a great replacement, and is a great choice to replace Rob Halford, and I love the Jugulator album, but the problem why some will hate him is because he came out at the wrong time, not to mention NO ONE CAN RELACE THE LEGEND, not to mention the lyrics, during his era with the band, was very abysmal, but that's not his fault because he didn't write anything during his tenure with Judas Priest other than that one song that was released as a Japanese bonus track called "What's My Name?" on Demolition (which that album was complete shit other than a few songs here and there like Subterfuge, One and One, Metal Messiah,and that bonus song I mentioned)) 3. "Everything after Painkiller sucks." (I don't really need to explain this, some people say this because they are narrow minded like Metallica fans who say everything past Justice sucks. I'm not one of those people. I like Metallica more than just the first 4 albums (although the first 5 albums from them are pretty much masterpieces), and like I said in #4, I like Jugulator. BTW Redeemer of Souls is their best album since Jugulator. AoR & Nostradamus are decent records too) 2. Dave Holland (His drumming is too simplistic and not standout, he hardly did drumming on Ram It Down, has a very heavily processed "pop" drum sound that resembles a drum machine or an electronic drum kit, and also became child molester years later after he left the band) 1. Rob Halford is Gay (he mentioned it first in a 1998 interview on MTV)

[@brucenatelee]

I just now learned he was gay, and happy to say that I don't care. Never listened to them much. Heard Machine Head's cover of "Sentinel," then the original, and thought "Holy SHIT!!!" That is not a song to give a fuck about somebody's sexual orientation. Not trying to sound SJW, but I enjoy diversity.

Excellent point about Halford's voice! He clearly can't hit the highest notes anymore but that's cool. He's 66. I'm 43 - I can't play football as well as when I was 24 but so what? We do our best with what we have. If you listen to the brand new Judas Priest songs you can hear the absolute quality, clarity and musicality of his voice. Like all of us, he's working with what he's got and doing SO, SO WELL! Judas Priest are the definition of a class act.

[@alesc7741]

As a fan of (Metal) for the last 15 years of my life, Priest has to be my favorite band above all, and the whole Painkiller album is the greatest album that has ever been made. Also, Ripper Owens JP is actually really good.

[@agentbuckwall2806]

I personally think Rob's voice sounds better now than it did during the Screaming for Vengeance era (live of course). He sounded so nasally all the time, and I feel like his voice is a lot more powerful now. Especially some of the performances in the Redeemer tour. In some of those shows, his voice is fantastic and he can still hit the high notes fine.

[@tonyjewell2639]

I always thought that Judas Priest was cool, but I got into Thrash Metal before getting into them. I never dug their early stuff and my music just got heavier. Painkiller is great but I really can't get any further into them. Any songs that should change my mind?

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

If you like thrash, you might want to check out Jugulator and some of Demolition. Jugulator is plenty thrashy in parts. I love thrash and extremely heavy stuff as well, but Priest will still always be number one in my heart.

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

Noah Faber Yup. I haven't listened to much, but of what I have heard I like very much. They're one of my favorite newer thrash acts (as in, formed post-2000), along with Evile, Sylosis (they're pretty thrashy I guess even though they do venture into melodeath at times), and Havok. I like that Savage Messiah especially seems to channel classic heavy metal quite a bit.

[@johnmccall5576]

It's fascinating how people get really emotional over Priest and it goes past their great music. People like the members in the band as they seem to be really nice guys to their peers, younger bands, and the fans. There was a long form interview with Rob and a portion of it where he is at celebrity band camp and the girl tells him that she's a cancer survivor and listening to British Steel made her tough as she fought her cancer. She may have not been even born when the album came out. Rob's telling the story and he's on the verge of balling about how a song he wrote over 30 years ago helped a woman at the worst point of her life. Then the interview shows "The Metal God" signing with her. How do you not root for that guy?

[@KnightFace3000]

They are not a 'finger in the glove' THEY ARE THE GLOVE! (of Heavy Metal).

I'm surprised one of the reasons wasn't that Judas Priest went on with Richie "Falcon" Faulkner after K.K. Downing left...

[@dorcasmeadowes9728]

I didn't know that those people even existed.... Pretty dumb reason to hate them, if you ask me. KK was and is my favorite member of Priest (for me, he was the origin, heart, and soul of the band and provided their sound with their aggression and heaviness because Glenn was and is more of a melodic player), but you can't blame Priest for wanting to keep playing music after he left. I do hope that Priest gets inducted into the RnR HoF before anyone dies, though, solely for the reason that KK has stated that he will rejoin the band for a performance should such an induction occur. And they ought to already be in that joke of a hall, anyway.

Dorcas Meadowes sorry in fact Glenn Tipton did the majority of the writing for guitars, almost half of the writing if not more for vocals. He also mastered the more difficult guitar pieces in most of Judas Priest work. Not taking anything from KK, he was a great guitarist. But he always walked in Glens shadow and that is pretty much common knowledge amongst most priest fans of which I have been for over 30 years..... Long live Judas Priest!🤘🤘🤘🤘

I never watched/listened to the Baby Metal performance. I don't know why Rob would agree to be a guest singer on their performance and then try to show them up. It makes perfect sense that he would harmonize with them and let them have the glory. It's their show. It's about being respectful and Rob is a class act for that. As far as Rob's voice, he has had quite a few instances where he has had off nights. However, for anyone who says that his voice has had it certainly hasn't heard Halls of Valhalla. In fact, the whole Redeemer of Souls album kicks ass.

I love owens and Halford and Celebrate both moments in Priests line up

Songs like Deep Purples “fireball” defined the metal genre

Ripper was fucking killer live! Saw them 3 times with Ripper and wow! That guys voice hits you in the chest. On the flip side, his version of Diamonds & Rust is phenomenal.

Not too many reasons to hate Judas Priest. They've always been a solid British heavy metal band like Maiden and Motorhead and the reasons are not very strong in this one. I've never met anyone that hates them.
