Whats wrong with judas priest?

[raysoh8]

Im just getting more into judas priest, finding more of their stuff, and i think they're really good. But then i find that nobody likes them. Well, not actually NOBODY. Just that, they're as good as iron maiden, if not better, but they have far less fans, and far less respect, some people on the internet even bash them, because they are cheesy? Sure they dont have the best lyrics but that doesnt mean they arnt good, i find their solos much more interesting than iron maiden solos.

So, why are they hated? Because the have cheesy lyrics? or maybe it was something they did in the past? like sell out or something?

they are hated becaused they are washed up has beens who keep trying to jump start their career by bringing in new people...to the point that its barely even the same band anymore.

also, the instant rob halford came out of the closet, ever homophobic metal fan all of sudden decided to bash them because....well "them gays aint no good"

that and yeah, they're pretty ridiculously cheesy. the black leather, spikes, long hair, shred head guitar masturbation, and lame lyrics are so 20 years ago.

but if you like that kinda thing, more power to you. i used to like them alot, but i grew out of my metal phase along time ago

Early Metallica.

But they do have some kick arse pure-metal lyrics.

I have a question about the song beyond the realms of death, some people hate it for some reason but some say its one of their best, so whats up with that?

Hated? How can anyone hate a band that made a song out of Godzilla.

I have always like them, especially after hearing Don't fear the reaper and Godzilla.

As for hating them cause Rob said hes gay, oh please. There are quite a few gay singers in Rock/Heavy Metal, but most folks don't know about or care. Just because a person like to sleep with another of the same sex has nothing to do with their ability to sing or make a great band.
Its about the music.

TS out (singing, Go Go Go Godzilla)

Ummmm....

Did no one catch this?

TS.. Judas Priest didnt do Dont Fear the Reaper and Godzilla.. Blue Oyster Cult did..

This rates up there with the guy on the radio... "Hey.. can y'all play Smoke On The Water by Black Sabbath?"

[twospirits]

I know, Finally. Someone caught it. I think this is the third time I posted that and no one ever said anything. You win the prize.

Okay what do I send you.

TS out (still listening to godzilla)
