Trapped Under Ice - Metallica.
Absolutely. Painkiller is in my opinion the best Priest album. British Steel is awesome but to me cheesy numbers like Living After Midnight and United let it down a little. Screaming is ace as well but i reckon Chains and Pain And Pleasure let it down, I don't think Painkiller has a weak track. |

Dedication...Thin Lizzy
LMFAO...too funny...but you're right, a solid, creative drummer is all the band lacked since the Les Binks era (I wish he would have stuck around over Holland!!!)...maybe Travis could have talked the rest of the guys out of the way they made Turbo...some of the songs were alright, but if they would have made it straight up with some awesome Travis drumming, who knows where the band would have went...I'm not sure he could have helped out Ram It Down at all...to me it was an album they just threw together real quick to move away from Turbo...but Painkiller re-invented Priest to a much higher level (IMO)... |

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica.
If those guys had Travis in the band in 86 i reckon Turbo would have been completly different. It's a crackup when you compare the Priest of 86 to the Priest of 90. The massive change in music, image etc in just 4 years. The only thing that didn't really change was Glenn Tiptons hair, that never changes. |

Mirror Mirror...Def Leppard
Although I can't quite imagine Travis laying down drum tracks for the Turbo album, it would have made sense to bring on a more accomplished drummer after SFV... |

Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden.
Yeah, Dave Holland was crap. If you compare what he was doing to what Scott Travis did on Painkiller it's like a whole new band, completely revitalized them. Thing about Painkiller is that even though it's nearly 20 years old it doesn't sound dated whereas some of the other albums do, I put a lot of that down to Dave Hollands unimaginative drumming. |

Freewheel Burning...Priest
I always thought be brought the band down, I have no clue as to why they stayed with him...British Steel and SFV was cool, but from Defender's on he was worthless (IMO)...speaking of which, listening to the song named above, it's obvious he couldn't handle this type of music (and in large part why I'm not as big a fan of Defender's as most)... |

Run To The Hills - Iron Maiden.
Yeah, why the hell did priest stay with Dave Holland for so long, some of his drumming sounds almost wrong for the music, those plodding, slow 1 2 3 4 beats, hate to say it but sometimes his drumming just sounds terrible on the albums. If you compare him to someone like Nicko McBrain or Lars Ulrich in the same era he's nothing. |

Hit The Lights...Metallica
Oh man, blew me away...it was so loud...hearing him is what made me start wishing Priest had a drummer like him!!! I figured with those guitarists and Rob's vocals, having a fast, heavy beat would put them over the top...lol, took 'em awhile, but they finally did it...lol |

22 Acacia Avenue - Iron Maiden.
Lars Ulrichs drumming on those first four albums is insane, he was the best drummer in metal back then, just full on from start to finish, used to love his style, really hitting the drums as hard as he could, heaps of arm movement in comparison to a lot of drummers at the time. |
