6. JUDAS PRIEST
Judas Priest has brought us the unique sound of the heavy metal, fast and heavy riffs,
with the double bass gunfight of the painkiller album, down to the earth
basslines ready to kick you of the chair and Halford, that's right Rob
'METAL GOD' Halford, one of the greatest(i assume people still have
taste) singer in the whole world, awesome vibrato and high pitched
banshee screams that I didn't hear even in horror movies, and the deep
epic and technically perfect sound and co-ambition of the band that
makes a perfect ambient with the two guitars K. K and Tipton (as said
before the first band to include 2 guitarist) so this is not about
respect for the oldies this is about knowing facts and having a bit of
musical taste to make a difference between HEAVY METAL like judas priest
and almost metal like avenged sevencrap or the poor bastards from
Metallica whom have gotten over the age, in their 40s and can't pull a
quick song Now.
