Top 10 Reasons Judas Priest is Better Than Black Sabbath
This one is going to stir up a lot of controversy for sure, but this is just my opinion. I’m ready to be murdered by all of the Sabbath fanboys.This is just my opinion, criticize it if I’m wrong.
Genres Priest has done:
Rock ‘n’ roll (Rocka Rolla)
Hard rock (Ram It Down)
Traditional heavy metal (Defenders Of The Faith, Screaming For Vengeance, British Steel, Point Of Entry, Stained Class, Sad Wings Of Destiny, Sin After Sin)
Pure heavy metal (Painkiller, Angel Of Retribution, Redeemer Of Souls, probably Firepower)
Thrash metal (Jugulator)
Groove metal (Jugulator)
Nu metal (Demolition)
Alternative metal (Angel Of Retribution)
Progressive metal (Nostradamus)
Speed metal (Defenders Of The Faith)
Genres Sabbath has done:
Traditional heavy Metal (all albums)
Doom metal/stoner metal (all albums)
That’s all I can think of.
The albums of JP are more varied, yes. But the variation of songs are very much the same, except for the songs on Painkiller. Orchid by Black Sabbath, Before the Dawn by JP, Black Sabbath x2, One of the many heavier Judas Priest songs.
I'm sorry but no. Experiment more? Come on! Black sabbath debut, master of reality, sabotage, vol.4 come to mind when experimenting. They created heavy metal. The real question is Sabbath's first 6 vs Priest's best 6 albums?
Interesting... Sabbath first (and best) 6 vs Priest's best 6?
Paranoid > Defenders of the Faith
Black Sabbath > Screaming for vengeance
Master of reality = Painkiller (although I would take the doom metal masterpiece)
Vol 4 < British steel
SbS < Sad wings of destiny
Sabotage = Stained class
It's a tie! JP has the advantage of time though. Both legends.
Yeah, as much as I like the uniqueness of Ozzy's and the power of Dio's and Ian's, Rob surpasses all.
FYI, Rob Halford preformed with Black Sabbath before. They should have done an album together.
Sabbath were the true metal pioneers, but Judas Priest did everything Sabbath did, and Judas Priest did it better.
Iommi made better riffs. Glenn and KK better solos. Equal in my opinion
Listen to the drumming in Painkiller and then listen to the drumming in War Pigs. That’s a prime example.
Even though you can hear it as well, if you listen close, the bass is better.
Not a reason, but I wanted to put this because they do.
