Unfortunately Maiden don't strike a chord with me, they use too many harmonies, all their songs are pretty much the same tempo and none of them differ from each other (i know that's their style and that's cool, if it aint broke don't try to fix it right?). I stand by what i say, Priest are the Metal Gods and i just overall prefer their music as it has the really hard edge that metal is all about. I don't have anything against Maiden and the crew though, i know how popular and more sucessful they are than Priest, well in the UK mainly.
And Hellrider, i listen to Priest all of the time in fact some people would say too much but i think you can never get enough of The Priest! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:11:59 PM)

OH Hellrider don't get me wrong i know what you're saying, i saw them this year in Manchester and Halford was on top form he was hitting the high notes all night long in fact they were so loud and high that the monitors couldn't really handle it they were crackling under the pressure HAHA! Yeah he still does the end of Painkiller fantastically well and i think he reserves himself a lot to do that at the end. I'm just saying that i think he can't sing it as well as he used to. The last 'awesome' version of Painkiller was when Halford was on the Crucible tour in 2002 i think it was and he still sang it superbly, even better than the 90's. I just think that it gets a bit much for him now. His screams are still perfect and i mean perfect and it seems you know too! When they were doing Metal Gods the line, 'better be the SLAAAAVEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!' Everyone just looked around at each other and were like whoa where did that come from and i just laughed (and gawped in pure disbelief), it gave me the shivers it was so high and perfect. Things like that just remind me why i love Priest and Halford so much. People can say that Dickinson is the best voice in metal but in my opinion he doesn't stand up to Halford especially for screams. I've never once heard Dickinson sing something that gives me the shivers, Halford has done it album after album to me. His best performance of a song to date is Victim of Changes, there is a video on youtube i'll try to find from this year's British Steel tour and it is perfect from start to finish.

Well Hellrider another Painkiller album would of course be phenominal especially in these trying times for any classic heavy metal bands. The only factor i'm thinking about for the album though is the Metal God himself we know he can't sing Painkiller aswell as he used to and i'm trying to keep things realistic don't get me wrong his voice on Get into the Spirit is great and his screams are spot on perfect. Maybe we could get a Painkiller album with more of Robs usual melodic singing with some signature screams here and there for good measure. He could go it like Demonzier and sing all of the way through then at the end HE MELTS YOUR FACE WITH A SCREAMING RUSH OF POOOOWWWWWWERRRRR until we're nothing but a little pile on the floor. That might just be what is needed and i second that Hellrider!

Hell yeah J.D i think it would be awesome after all British Steel was the bands claim to fame, and reliving classic hits along the lines of Grinder and Metal Gods it can't possibly be a bad thing! Well let's just hope that they follow through with the idea cause i've been thinking lately and i just want them to release some good old heavy metal. I know i love Nostradamus but it was too full of slow paced mid tempo and not very heavy songs, i want the Priest that i love the most and anything along the lines of British Steel to Angel of Retribution would do (with a couple of exceptions). Now another Defenders of the Faith would be awesome especially if they release an anthem as good as Heavy Duty which is possibly my favourite track on the album it's so damn heavy and Halfords vocals just tear me apart everytime.
To quote ahem! 'Let's all join forces, rule with an iron hand, and prove to all the world, METAL RULES THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDD, WE"RE HEAVY DUTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' (Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Monday, October 19, 2009 5:06:51 PM)
