Although I am only nearly as old as Painkiller is, I totally agree with your words. In my case, they've been the source of inspiration for me when I'm going through lower moments. I remember their early struggle and I say to myself "Get up, you pussy, look at what they accomplished by standing up". Again, I haven't grown with them, but for the last 5 years I have grown into their sound, into their world and it's just amazing that I feel this way. This is turning into a sappy post, but truth is, I connect with the PRIEST. I connect with the sometimes silly lyrics they have in Turbo and I simply stand in awe at the monumental pieces of writing that are Beyond the Realms of Death and Rock Hard Ride Free, each in its own way. I could go on "talking about my rock forever", but I'm sure I've said enough to get across!
Cheers people! And lastly, because of Judas Priest, HEAVY FUCKIN' METAL was spawned!

...Because of Judas Priest, I will always have a 'Friend'...
Anyone who has talked with me knows how passionate I am about music, in particular Priest. Having been introduced to them at such an early age and before their powerful rise to the top, we kind'a 'grew' up together. The 'Boy's' have been with me for 30+ years now, and a lot has happend in those years...I'm talking parties in my youth, graduations, military, a couple of marriages (and their respective divorces!!), births, deaths, and coming soon grandchildren, different jobs, long road trips (I used to be a truck driver), as well as through Priest, I've made many wonderful friends here, at JP.com.
The list could go on forever, but I'm sure you get my point, Judas Priest has been, and always will be my friend to turn to... |
