AxeMan sorry to copy off of your poll a bit but it's Battle Of The Metal Gods 2 album vs album. I based the pairing off order of release leaving out the live and best of albums...enjoy.

:rofl2: DUDE, you're TRYING to make my brain explode aren't you?? But OK, I'll play... looks like it's a close race for me in each of these pairs (though pitting Maiden's masterwork, POWERSLAVE, up against Priest's misfire TURBO seems almost unfair!)... here's how I picked'em

 

Pair #1: Number Of The Beast

Pair #2: Defenders of the Faith

Pair #3: Powerslave

Pair #4: Ram It Down

Pair #5: Painkiller (toughest choice here, since SEVENTH SON is one of my fave Maidens, but PAINKILLER is not only one of the best Priest albums, but one of the best METAL albums ever released, IMHO)

Pair #6: Jugulator (this choice will probably surprise some, but Jugulator is IMHO far superior to Maiden's NO PRAYER, which was Maiden's weakest album...till Blaze Bayley came along anyway)

 

Looks like Priest wins here too... and I didn't even have to flip any coins this time. :banana:

No problem Eaglesfan!

This is really hard! I really like both bands!

Here are my votes:

-Screaming For Vengeance

-Piece Of Mind

-Turbo

-Somewhere In Time

-Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

-No Prayer For The Dying

The first one was totally unfair, they're both fucking metal icons in my book, but I went with Priest by a hair. Everything else I went with Maiden.

I know that kind of sucks Powerslave vs Turbo but on the flip side it's Painkiller vs Seventh Son. I just went off of order of release I think for the most part is pretty even.

Maiden in all of them. Some good Priest discs there, but I much prefer their earlier stuff like 'Stained Class' 'Killing Machine' & 'British Steel'.

I concur, My brain is gonna explode here Man...... :P

 

I picked mostly the same as you did, except I picked Screaming for Vengeance over Number of the Beast.. but only by THAT Much.....

Posted

Maiden on all counts.

Posted

Maiden on all of them except Jugulator over Prayer.

 

7th Son vs. Painkiller was tough and so was Piece of Mind vs. Defenders.

Posted

:wacko: This is like trying to pick you fave child or something... :blink:

Man...I'm at a loss...well this could change for some of them.. :unsure:

 

JP-Screaming

JP-Defenders

IM-Powerslave

IM-Somewhere

JP Painkiller.

 

the last two never cared to hear...or hear again I should say...

Posted
Man I thought for sure Painkiller would absolutely destroy Seventh Son...I guess not.

 

 

 

Painkiller is awesome, probably my fav or second fav Priest album, but Seventh Son is just incredible IMO from the songs to the musicianship to the outstanding artwork by Derek Riggs.

And the winners are :

1 - Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance (tough choice, I love both albums)

2 - Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith

3 - Iron Maiden - Powerslave (another tough choice)

4 - Judas Priest - Ram It Down (tough choice too)

5 - Judas Priest - Painkiller (Absolutely!)

6 - Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying (tough choice, as by far both albums are IMO the weakest of the bands - excluding Iron Maiden's Bayley era)

I love both of these bands! :guitbannana:

 

I chose all Iron Maiden except for Priest's "Turbo", which has a special place in my memory and is a personal favorite, but each choice was pretty difficult (and pretty close).

 

However, if "Sad Wings of Destiny" was on this list, I would choose it over all contenders. :guitar:

Straight sweep for Judas Priest. I can't stand Iron Maiden. I want to run to the hills every time I hear 'em.

Screaming For Vengeance

Defenders of the Faith

Turbo

Somewhere in Time

That's funny, because I used to say that exact same thing (about running to the hills). It took me a long time to warm to Bruce Dickinson's vocals. That warble is so pronounced that it can be really off-putting. But once I got used to it, I realized how much I love Niko's drumming and the double guitar attack, which is (usually) awesome. (Now if Steve Harris would just stop playing jazz riffs all over everything life would be great!) :guitbannana:

    • I LOVE the callback to the debut in that artwork. Beautiful!
    • Glamfest is done. Couldn't make it financially viable. But their Facebook page promoted the potential tyketto tour. Not sure if they are handling the tour or just doing a nice thing. Time will tell. Didn't know The Used had been out before, missed that in the past. Hopefully I'll be around when they come out and can catch them.maybe they will support tyketto?
    • Is Glamfest meant to happen again? I’m assuming probably definitely not… well at least not same time as it was last couple of years. That’s a shame.    The Used used to come out all the time for stuff like Soundwave and Warped tour and stuff, if I recall correctly. Haven’t seen them for several years now, and they haven’t put out much music in that time either. Couple of good cuts on their latest album, though. 
    • Tyketto returning to Australia. Also The Used coming out here. Both tours teased but not announced yet.
    • I watched the videos today... I dunno what to make of it. On one hand I don't think it's worth all the fuss, but I guess it gets a bit awkward due to the fact he is an actual vocal coach. Not a great look but I guess this is what happens these days. Just maybe not quite as common amongst vocal coaches, though... 
    • I might try V4 again when I get credits again, but like I said above, also a bit keen to finish all the V3.5 stuff with V3.5. In saying that, though, I would be sad if V4 got good while I wasn't watching and did myself a disservice.  100% with you on that remaster wish. If they could accomplish that it would be dreamy. I still have so, so many results that are really cool, but I'm so down on the audio quality that I don't know what to do with them. Continually trying to cover them doesn't seem to work 99% of the time, plus you lose the end and have to recreate the entire end to the song.  Like you say, just to be able to keep everything about the song as it is, but get an awesome new remaster; it'd be perfect.  Haha, I was just thinking today I need to fix up my bandcamp page, lol. I put a band pic on there but wrote immediately underneath that it was just to create a vibe... but I haven't used it anywhere else and realised it wasn't an avenue I'll be pursuing.  Thanks! Yeah, I must admit that back when I was writing all those lyrics I always thought that one day I'd put the effort in, learn guitar and at least create some basic versions of those songs. That, of course, faded through the years, but this is the most ideal case scenario for someone in this position.  I still think most of my 200 tunes will probably remain unreleased, but I don't know. I go back and forth with it. Right now, just trying to sort through my 2001 songs and there's way more than one album from these sessions I'll want to release. If I could get the audio where I want it, possibly as many as three albums from just the 2001 sessions I'd be happy to release... but still all baby steps. Still several 2001 tracks I've not yet completed as I can't find them in my Library, lol. Even after cleaning it up a bit...  But yeah, I have always loved music a lot. I always said my three passions in life were photography, surfing and music but the music one always seemed a bit silly as it was just my love for listening to it, but it's awesome to finally get something tangible out of this love of mine too. I actually already miss writing new tunes while I'm trying to clear this whole backlog - cannot wait until I can just concentrate on the new stuff. I think some of my new songs from this year are actually pretty good - pretty "personal," though, which will be interesting to see how I handle when the time comes... Hmmm, tight. I thought I preferred #1 but back to back maybe the new one just edges it out, for me. I do like the chorus in V2 better. Two nice results, though. 
    • Its the first & 2nd albums (Wildstreet & Wildstreet II) as a single release titled Origins as far as I've read,along with some rarities. https://www.eonianrecords.com/blog/wildstreet-release-origins
    • I mean Juno Roxas was hilarious making fun of this dude for a while. Lost a few Facebook accounts because of it lol Pretty sure he's related to Sammy Hagar
