Actually Head Banger to me Painkiller DOES NOT sound americanized to me,never crossed my mind in 1990 or inbetween either so its hard for me to hear that.It was Jugulator that sounded americanized to me. And I also disagree with Metallian saying how it sounds like a "thrash" album?? No way in my opinion does Painkiller sound anything remotely close to "thrash"?
I've heard many people say this and for the life of me I can't find any sounding parts in the entire Painkiller LP? Metal Meltdown is fast british heavy metal,Painkiller the title track is pure british heavy metal at its heaviest and All Guns Blazing sounds heavy metal to me. Maybe to some people it does?
The only thrash sounding elements in Priest's history could be when Ripper sang the "Mulilate" part in the Jugulator song? No? Hummmm. As far as Turbo....3 songs I can possibly tolorate...Out In The Cold,Wild Nights and Reckless.
But....6 songs...I just can't fathom how Turbo Lover,Locked In,Private Property,Parental Guidance,Rock You All Around The World,Hot For Love can beat any other Priest album,even Nostradamus has better heavier metal songs on it,so does Demolition or any other Priest album in my opinion. It just goes down to the fact that its hard for me to understand why people like this LP but I must accept people like this big pile of bullshit hahaha!!!
I must admit though,people (Hellrider you included haha) rating Turbo higher than Angel Of Retribution is a slap in the fuckin face to me this weekend hahaha!! aarrghhhhh whyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! Nooooo!!!!!!  lol

Well,my opinion isn't the right one I just wish it was ha! Well,while everybody my age was partying,whooping it up and enjoying the Turbo album in 1986 I was NOT. I was so damn pissed off at Judas Priest for doing this to the fans,it was black leather,studs & black cloths with killer metal albums to worship and comming off an album titled Defenders Of The Faith I just couldn't belive what was happening.
It was such a low point for myself in the realm of heavy metal. Priest did Turbo,Maiden did Somewhere In Shit and Sabbath was dismembered,Ozzy did the shitty Ultimate Sin album and even underground heavy metal bands like Exciter put out crappy LPs in 1986.
I spit on Priest for 2 years untill I got the Ram It Down album which still didn't make me 100% happy but I was starting to get there,then by 1990 we finally got another real british heavy metal album. The memories I personally have of Turbo and the era in 1986 were all shit,horrible year for heavy metal with only a handfull of exceptions.
Thats why i hate the album so much and even 25 years later in 2011 I still hate it just the same,I wish they would of never done it. Probably K.K.'s idea haha!

| jd, with turbo for me its not so much about the musicallity of the album , but the memories that album provokes -- priest cranked and dragging cars downtown and then off to a party or just find a quiet stretch of road and pullover and smoke a little and drink a little and listen to turbo and defenders with like minded people ,.its corny, but its '86 and turbo is cranked, big hair everywhere, pulling mainers , good times !!!!!! |
