I agree. Without illegal downloading, I wouldn't have found out about most of my favorite bands. The only bands of which I've bought CDs but haven't illegally downloaded their music first have been Uriah Heep and Deep Purple, because I got to know threm through my father. But Priest, Saxon, Scorpions (only a bit heard on radio), Accept, Railway; all of them I've first pirated, then at a later time I've started to buy their stuff to clear my conscience. And I most definitely wouldn't have gotten into them in the first place if it weren't for pirating.

By the way, I've 1 137 songs in my music library, of which probably about 85% are legally bought or bootlegs.

I wasn't into to it at first either but I couldn't help but think of how many times I overpaid for CD's
because of greedy record companies. You may not remember but when CD's first came out
it was hard to find one under $19.99. I bought many of those. Then I think about how many times
I overpaid for concerts and concert tee's and now it doesn't bother me to take music. For me it's
like revenge.
 Sometimes downloads help bands.
(Ex.)I downloaded the MRH catalog and now
I love those guys. I've bought all their CD's except the first one and I've seen them 9 times. The
downloads led to me spending money on them. So without downloads alot of bands wouldn't be
heard at all. Except for the rich no one can afford everything out there so downloads lead to
discovery and that sometimes leads to money in the form of concerts, tee's, or other band merchandise.
I haven't downloaded anything Priest except one video that I don't think is for sale anyway. If you
want it and it's out there take it. Eventually they will figure out a way to stop it so take it while you can.

Don't really like illegal downloading and am broke at the moment, so for now I only buy CDs when I can. I don't really look hard for bands/artists, so there's also that. 11,000 songs just sounds like a sh*tload to me. If I had that many I would probably feel bad for leaving some songs/albums to gather cyber-dust.

I think in the past Priest has been a Classic Metal band and as they got older I believe that when they went to preform maybe in 2000 to 2012 or made new albums like Angel of Retribution and Nostradamus to me they sounded Heavier. I'm guessing some people stick with Priest's Classic side and some might like Priest's Heavier side. But I respect every ones opinion and just hope that Judas Priest will have a future.

I completely agree with you. I, too, happen to be quite young (20 and a half - will turn 21 in July - to be exact), but I've preferred older music for about a half of my life. When I first got into Priest only a little more than five years ago, I could've never guessed that one day they'd be my number one band. But now I've got their full discography, and I've hunted for bootlegs in search of more material for almost one year. While those times sound very short, I guarantee that I'm an absolute die-hard fan. Nothing I would've believed five years ago!

But I also have to side with Budred in that I do prefer older Priest over the current one. Maybe I wouldn't be so interested in them if it were only for their newer material. But I know that there's (sadly) no way to get back in time, so I respect what they're still doing, over 40 years after the beginning of their career. And even when they will eventually end their career, we can still always have the great memories from the past!

If I'm correct you must be in your early twenties. With the internet you can get there in no time.
It took me twenty five years. I've only had the aid of a computer for a little more than two years.
What sucks for me is trying to find stuff I don't have. I wish Jimmy's "Check This Out" thread would
have taken off. That was such an awesome idea and could turn all of us on to new stuff if more
would have contributed. Take care!

I love your attitude and i'm glad there are people like you out there. You guys/gals will help
keep the legacy alive. I only feel the way I do because I've been listening to them for over 31
years but the last 10 have been a bit of a disappointment for me. I know what they were once
capable of doing. Now with K.K. gone and them sounding different it's harder and harder for me
to get into them like I once did. Due to age the tempo of their music has slowed a little also.
There is a video of them from 1983 (Dortmund Festival). Search this out and watch and listen.
You'll see why it's hard for me now. I still love them if for no other reason than longevity and I
tell people all the time that I'm glad I picked Priest as a favorite band. I can think of only one band
from my youth that still sounds great and that's Megadeth. I just got their new disc and other than
the first track it sounds as good as the early stuff. Anyway, keep the faith. Peace!

I never had an opinion on them.  now they are a station changer for me.  change the station whenever they come on, and lately thin lizzy is all over the sat radio chanels.  I even went from hair nation to boneyard the other day and went from whisky in the jar to jailbreak.  fuck me.

Well, I am young, quite young and I actually haven't listened to all the Priest songs yet. Judas Priest has made a lot of songs and some people (in my generation) haven't listened to all their songs either. So it might take a some time as they get addicted to a song listen to it over and over then move on to the next song. They will eventually grow out of Priest and moved on but also might have passed it down to family and friends who are young. And all the young people that are new to Priest and Priest's songs will listen to their music that they've made in the past. Priest loses fans but also gets fans right there. I know its past music but it will seem new to the youngsters.

Judas Priest's history they've had members come and go. That might be the case when  Priest members we have now leave or something. I really don't want Priest to die out and if that's where their heading I just wanted to say something positive to kinda say that Priest still has fans that are young and will hopefully carry on with the Faith even if its past music.
Personally I think the past is better because there was better artists. I don't know about other people, agree, don't agree, this is just my opinion..

(Not purposely) but I exaggerated that a little. I thought I had around 11,800 and rounded up.
I saw your post so I checked and I have 11, 200. Pretty much my entire cd collection is on it.

I'm going to assume that you must be young and your enthusiasm towards the Priest has to be commended.
If you are young then you probably don't understand the concept of age yet. These guys are not getting any younger
and they definitely don't have the drawing power of years gone by. People are not patient for new music and they
will be passed by if they continue to draw this out so long in between records. I'm afraid that you and your generation
are only going to have the past to enjoy when it comes to Priest. Since Rob's return I've been stuck in the past. I call them
my favorite band but if the only thing I heard from them was what they've done since Demolition then I probably wouldn't be
much of a fan at all. I can't stay in the past when it comes to music, I choose to move forward.

Aw man. Well I think Priest will have a future with my generation. I've got my whole class addicted to them. Some of my friends have bought albums like single cuts. I've got my younger cousins addicted and they're telling their friends about Priest. Even got some teachers addicted and they pass Priests' awesome music along. No matter what we all know Judas Priest is da beast

You make a good point, I didn't even consider that.
I couldn't tell you how many in Cleveland watched Thin Lizzy. I made it a point not to.
I said before that I hated them but I use that term loosely sometimes. I never have cared
for them though and I don't have a single song of theirs on my iPod out of nearly 12,000.
I never thought they were heavy and I didn't like Phil Lynott's voice at all. (I probably spelled
his name wrong). Anyway, take care man.

perhaps the sheer number of priest vids on youtube slows them down?

3000 at your show?  did anyone see thin lizzy?  here they went on at 6 to less than 100 people est watching.  by sets end there were less than a thousand from a crowd of almost 9000 total. 

I watched their whole set.... never again.

I was checking out my page on youtube and noticed something interesting about my video views.
Before I post anything let me stress that I do not consider Mushroomhead to be better than Judas Priest.
I was checking total views. I'm not going to list song titles just numbers. These videos were put up two
weeks apart.

Total counts for Priest-        Total counts for Mushroomhead-
  90                                                      491
  131                                                   775
  96                                                     450
  232                                                   699
  164                                                   1212
                                                            1425
                                                            1095

Does this mean anything? (No) but it is pretty interesting. Mushroomhead isn't even big outside of Cleveland
yet their numbers crush Priest. Actually, I find this a little disturbing. Outside of this site Priest is losing their fanbase.
People aren't interested in them anymore it seems. Gund Arena holds 25,000 people yet Priest only had about 3000
people there. Even though I got ripped for saying it maybe they are picking the right time to do a final tour. This tour
had to lose money, at least for the promoters, so I don't think anyone would be all that eager to promote them in the future.
I'm so glad (and grateful) for their longevity but I'm not noticing a future for them. I hope the new album kicks ass, my
guess is that it may be the final one. Just an opinion, only matters to me.
