Talk:Killing Machine

message: The "Alternate Cover" is incorrect, as it is not the original US cover, but the US re-release from 2001.  The original version of the US cover does not have the gray border. Man of the night (talk) 21:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "Altrnate Cover"

message: I deleted that 33RPM cover simply because it wasn't Hell Bent For Leather/Killing Machine. Looking at the tracklist, it was a compilation record. If anything else it was a bootleg. Either way it certainly wasn't HBFL/Killing Machine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.19.193 (talk) 23:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: After "Rocka Rolla, "Sad Wings of Destiny", "Sin after Sin" and "Stained Class" "Killing Machine" was the fifth album. The article says something about the "songs of their previous three albums" which therefore should be altered to "previous four albums".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wulfila21 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Fifth album, not fourth 

message: The Overview on this is un-cited and off-base. It currently surmises that their change of stage costumes from flowing Gothic robes to leather may have been inspired by the rising punk and New Wave movements. This is then followed up by this quote (without a source) in support of the supposition: Glenn Tipton said in a contemporary interview that "I believe we are part of the New Wave. After all, we're fast, aggressive and exciting, which is what it's all about."
To be clear, the new wave that Tipton is referring to here is the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), not New Wave music (see below). JP was in the midst of the Hell Bent For Leather tour when journalist Geoff Barton coined the phrase NWOBH, so this un-cited allegedly contemporary interview fits this timeline. Further, the description of "fast, aggressive and exciting" fits the NWOBH, not New Wave music.
Note on "New Wave": The existing overview makes it seem that JP was influenced by New Wave music (different from NWOBHM) especially as later it mentions, for no reason at all, that New Wave music band Human League covered Take On The World. In fact, Judas Priest's leather fashions inspired the NWOBHM bands.

thread_title:  Overview 

message: At the top of the page, it says the album is 35:09 but in the tracklisting section it says it is 38:29. I’m going to assume the one in the tracklisting section is correct, but I wanted to ask about it before making any changes. Henoryry (talk) 14:48, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Album length? 

message: I'm removing "Finally, the production of Killing Machine was markedly improved from Judas Priest's earlier albums, which were criticized for having excessively flat sound, and would be further refined for their next and breakthrough album, British Steel."
First if all, who says the production was "markedly improved"? I'm not saying it wasn't, but you need to cite this. "Excessively flat?" Who was saying this in the 70s? Stained Class certainly wasn't "excessively flat" sounding. 73.219.103.208 (talk) 22:57, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
