Judas Priest are touring Australia in September & the advertisement for the concert states that for the 1st time ever the original line-up will tour Australia.................................Pardon me but if u know Priest then u know this is not the original line-up.

A major issue of the Ripper years is Priest experimented a bit too much with their sound. Jugulator is Priest meets Machine Head while Demoliton is Priest trying to tap into some Fear Factory sounds. Ultimately, it didn't work all that well because Priest is such and establishment. It's like AC/DC trying out some thrash or Iron Maiden going for a death metal feel. If a band has been around for so long, it usually doesn't work when they try and re-invent themselves or just expand a bit.

[i]Jugulator [/i]is a masterpiece when compared to [i]Demolition[/i]. I think the problem is Priest tried to go a bit too modern instead of keeping the [i]Painkiller[/i] style. I remember reading that Priest was really influenced by Machine Head during the Ripper years.

[i]Demolition [/i]is good for Ripper but really didn't do much for the rest of the band.

Metal Messiah and Machine Man are alright, and there are some cool riffs here and there, but I thought the album sucked really badly overall. Ripper did a great job though
Jugulator was decent, with Cathedral Spires being one of my favorite, if not my favorite Priest song.

I honestly have never heard of the Ripper era Priest.

Does that make me a bad metahead?

Revisited [i]Demolition[/i] today and I have to say it's far from their best but not that bad. Ripper did a good job and some of the riffs are pretty cool. But there are some serious stinkers on there.

Oh well. I'd give it 6/10 now for Feed One Me, Hell is Here, Machine Man, One on One and Bloodsuckers.
