Deep Purple Or Judas Priest, Go!

[Wakester]

pick one and why.

In related news, tickets just went on sale for the 2018 tour.

Deep Purple. I saw them locally (Portsmouth Guildhall) at the time of 'In Rock'.

By the time I heard Judas Priest, I was less interested in heavy rock.

No comparison, JP had some great stuff but not close to the impact that Blackmore had.

Priest for the leather daddy thing.

Deep Purple, no question. Although, a bit of an odd pairing. I would have gone for Maiden vs Priest

But that’s too easy a win for Maiden.

Two different eras, so it's hard to judge. My dad was into DP when I was growing up and I got into Priest as a teenager.

I thought it odd too, but that is what was on the bill. I just wonder who is opening for who.

 

[Shawn@PRS]

Here's an odd billing. I saw Black Sabbath back in '83 or so, with Dio at the helm. The Outlaws opened for them.

Dio joined in 79 after Ozzy was canned for drinking and drugs. I think he (RJD) left around 83 and rejoined in 91 for another album and tour, along with Vinnie Appice.

Hmmm. Smoke On The Water was the first guitar thing I learned so I’ll go with that.

Deep Purple...more variety. Plus, Gillan, Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, and Joe Lynn Turner....c'mon. Not to mention the slightly different direction they've gone with Steve Morse. I really like their output with Morse. Of course, one of my all time favs....the gone to soon Tommy Bolin. And that organ work from Jon Lord!

Although, I have to say, I love Priest too!

 

[veinbuster]

Deep Purple because they wrote a song about Frank Zappa.

 

[Bill SAS 513]

Yeah, I think DP, too. Saw Priest many times, but Deep Purple has Roger Glover...and he wasn't always buried in the mix.

And just so y'all don't think I'm completely crazy

What an odd A/B. I'm going to go with the JP.

Any day of the week, I'm going to crank "Hell Bent For Leather" louder than "Smoke On The Water" when driving. Hell, I was cranking "Breaking The Law" when I pulled up to get one of my kids from school the other day. I'm a clean cut guy and was in my office attire (business professional) and the Principals jaw dropped. It was as if I had a pledge pin on my uniform (different band.....but you get the picture). I got a lot of nasty looks from all of the soccer moms picking their kids up....but they were all 15 years younger than me....and most were wearing yoga pants......soooooo.....

Anyways, if I want to kick back on my patio with a nice cigar and a beer (or 9), Deep Purple for certain. I can certainly dig some Blackmore. The recording and production was OK even for the time, but they captured some killer tones and songs.

And that organ work from Jon Lord!

That's fresh for me because I've been blasting the hell out of Perfect Strangers all week.



Feel free to break out the torches and pitchforks... while I love both bands, I think DP brings greater variety and depth. Gotta go with them.
