Talk:Painkiller (Judas Priest album)

message: The genre is DEFINITELY NOT just Heavy Metal. The low-pitched, speedy guitar riffs with those speedy guitar solos, double bass-drum fast as shit, vocal sounds screamy, it's somewhere between Thrash and Speed, at least Painkiller, Between the Hammer and the Anvil and and Metal Meltdown. All the other songs are Speed Metal.
:Absolutely not thrash, this is quintessentially speed metal, a sub genre of heavy metal.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.233.202.2 (talk) 09:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Heavy metal covers it enough. No need for multiple sub-genres. A fast heavy metal song doesn't = speed metal. Speed metal incorporate more elements than just simply "speed". Wiki libs (talk) 12:45, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Halford himself said in this interview http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/spotlights/story.html?id=b78b4958-bf9c-4d93-85b8-16ed6546e29d that the motorcycle accident had nothing to do with leaving the band and calls the notion absurd.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.112.4.99 (talk) 20:15, August 20, 2007 (UTC) 
Yeah, even in the DVD of British Steel he said that it was an non relationed incident  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.65.153.26 (talk) 00:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Judas Priest were heavy metal pioneers, but not in the field of speed metal. "Viewed by some" is weasel wording.
This album came out years after groundbreaking speed metal albums by Metallica, Megadeth, and others. This statement needs to be sourced or deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alounsbery (talk • contribs) 15:18, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The album is viewed by some as the quintessential speed metal album" 

message: This entire section needs deleted or revamped at the very least. It's clearly taken from a pro-Priest bio, maybe from a website or CD jacket or something (impossible to tell of course since it's unsourced). Not even close to encyclopedia quality.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.80.239 (talk) 22:52, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: this is certainly power metal

message: "Rob Halford claimed in an interview that the song "Hell Patrol" is about US Air Force pilots flying missions in the Gulf War, which started a few months before the release of the album"
This record was recorded in January 1990, and released in September 1990. According to Wikipedia, the Gulf War started in August 1990, and US Air Force pilots weren't heavily involved until January 1991. Either Rob Halford is misquoted, or he was making this up.

message: Says the lyrics deal with 'many' themes, and then describes the lyrical content of one song only. Think the section should either be 'fleshed out' (maybe a description of the musical style and lyrical themes together) or removed. A section that deals exclusively with lyrical themes isn't really essential for a Wiki entry on an album anyway.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.191.80.181 (talk) 19:18, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
