C class

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have moved the grading down from B to C class. The article contains a significant amount of dubious unsourced material. It needs trimming of trivia and original research and needs secure sourcing - as it stands the article is more opinion than fact, contains irrelevant material, and is not as helpful to the general reader as it could be. It reads like an amateur fan site essay rather than an encyclopedia entry. SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:56, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Aren't they named "Juda's Priest"? I've read this few years ago. 5.53.16.36 (talk) 07:14, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Seriously? No. Mezigue (talk) 08:04, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

So does anybody know where the Epitaph logo comes from? Is it an original Judas Priest symbol or what? 

Ψ It's kinda like this symbol but does not curve outwards toward the end.

Thank you heavy metal maniacs.

Question on those who knew of Halford's homosexuality before 1998

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

"In a 1998 interview on MTV, Halford also revealed his homosexuality, but it came as little surprise to fans and to Halford's bandmates, who had previously known and been supportive yet were reluctant to let him come out in previous years to protect the image of him and the band."

Now, bandmates, that makes sense. Rob Halford worked closely with these people for over 20 years so they were bound to realise at some stage that he was gay. But fans? This part particularly stands out to me because...if the fans already knew, then surely it would have already been public knowledge? And if it was public knowledge, why would he have needed to reveal it publically? Who was there left to "reveal" it to?

I can see there may be some fan exceptions - such as a minority of people who went to Priest concerts and got to meet Halford and he just let it slip out during conversation, but somehow I doubt all of his fans knew. Priest have always been quite a well-known influential rock/metal band and I don't see how it could have been private knowledge if all of their fans were in the know. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it, but it would be nice to have some clarification on what it means, or a source to prove that fans were indeed aware of his homosexuality before 1998.Vicious Friendly Fish (talk) 13:07, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I've edited that section to make a plain statement and provide the source for the interview. The source says no such thing, other than that fans had "speculated" for years, but I don't think we even need to mention that. The text you quote above is just editorializing by whoever added it. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 13:44, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring on Rocka Rolla

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is an edit war ensuing on Rocka Rolla regarding the genre in the infobox. Rather than just endlessly reverting edits, I have brought the issue up on the talk page. Please weigh in. Thank you! Johnny338 (talk) 16:43, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Citations needed in the article

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have noticed quite a bit of claims in this article that need to be cited. For example, when referring to Unleashed in the East, "By this point the playing style of the band had grown progressively heavier, with live versions of songs such as 'Exciter' and 'Beyond the Realms of Death' sounding much heavier than their studio counterparts." This looks to be WP:OR and should either be sourced or deleted. A couple of other examples, "Rocka Rolla has been for the most part dismissed by the band [no sources to back this statement up] and none of its songs were played live after 1976 [again, no sources] except for Never Satisfied, which was revived during the Epitaph Tour in 2011." Another example: "This album and a strong performance [according to whom?] at the 1975 Reading Festival helped to raise wider interest in the band and expand their fanbase [how?]." Clearly these issues need to be addressed, which is why I have brought this notice up. Please find sources or delete. Thank you! Johnny338 (talk) 22:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

genre

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

i really think that hard rock and speed metal should be added because most of their work involves both of these genres i won't add it yet since i haven't found a source but please reply and let me know waht you think — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.107.203.186 (talk) 16:29, 17 July 2012 (UTC) i agree with you on speed metal, however judas priest have nothing to do with hard rock music, none of their albums are hard rock other then their first one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by I call the big one bitey (talk • contribs) 05:43, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Speed metal should be added. Also, would power metal work? They have songs matching the genre99.108.198.222 (talk) 18:42, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Could somebody who has the Complete Albums box set please take a look at this? I have a very simple request for you. Esszet (talk) 18:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Dates are a bit conflicted…

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The lead paragraph indicates that they “struggled” at a point in their career, which turned around in 1980; however the main text has them enjoying at least low-level success all the time, including being taken up by a major label in 1977, and a record release heralding a string of gold albums, with a major revival starting in 1979… Jock123 (talk) 15:07, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Origin: Any evidence?

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article states in multiple places that the band formed in Birmingham. Does anyone have evidence to support this? The band is usually considered to be a Black Country band (and if you are familiar with the area, you will know that the Black Country is definitely not Birmingham). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.13.25.116 (talk) 08:21, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
