Painkiller\u00a0was the album that stuck to me first, but the first song I heard as Victim of Changes from Unleashed In The East, it totally blew my mind!\u00a0Angel of Retribution\u00a0was released the following winter, and that was the first JP album I physically bought. I got the bug, and about a month or two later, I had bought their whole discography on CD (except for the Ripper stuff, which I bought a few years later).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3963\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3963\" style=\"width: 545px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jb7-All-LPs-with-SFV-and-DOTF-test-presses.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3963\" src=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jb7-All-LPs-with-SFV-and-DOTF-test-presses-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"All LPs with SFV and DOTF test presses\" width=\"545\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jb7-All-LPs-with-SFV-and-DOTF-test-presses-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jb7-All-LPs-with-SFV-and-DOTF-test-presses-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jb7-All-LPs-with-SFV-and-DOTF-test-presses-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/kkdowning.net\/steelmill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jb7-All-LPs-with-SFV-and-DOTF-test-presses.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3963\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All LPs with SFV and DOTF test presses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Besides Priest, are there any other bands you like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite varied, but it\u2019s all mostly based around rock and heavy rock. The Ramones was the first band I got really into as a kid, other than that, I\u2019d say the most important stuff would be Iron Maiden, first 3 Metallica, first 10 Rush, first 5 Camel, first 5 Saxon, first 3 Boston, 80s Misfits, 80s The Cure, early Slayer, early Autopsy. The list goes on, but other than the stuff mentioned, it\u2019s mostly rooted in British heavy rock and NWOBHM \u2013 Heavy metal rules supreme! Top it off with some Swedish, east-bloc and US heavy metal, some cheesy 80s pop and movie soundtracks and I\u2019m good.

The last of JPs albums to get the Nippon treatment was Ram It Down, so there aren\u2019t that much to collect really, it\u2019s just expensive! At the moment I\u2019m still missing Priest\u2026Live!, mostly because of how expensive it runs, but I\u2019m also on the look for a better version of Rocka Rolla, as mine doesn\u2019t have the OBI strip. I just had to get it when I saw it, because it\u2019s not often you come across the Japanese one.

I missed out on them on the Angel Of Retribution tour as I lived so far north and couldn\u2019t afford a trip like that, so my first experience with the Priest was in 2008 when they were supporting Nostradamus. Saw them then again in 2009 and then three dates in a row on the Epitaph tour. It was weird seeing them without K.K., but Richie did a good job. They just gotta skip playing songs like Victim Of Changes and The Sinner without KK &#8211; they just don\u2019t work. Nobody can emulate K.K.&#8217;s ferocity and attack. And then I saw them last year (2015), which was the best I\u2019ve seen Halford. He was definitely killing it!
