Judas Priestcast

This week we welcome a long time friend and podcast virgin to the Priestcast. We can't believe it took so long to have Metal Godz (@godz_metal) on the Priestcast. Dude is an amazingly cool cat. Godz has been rockin the hard rock and metal before most of us were even born. We take Godz musical journey and sail through the cosmos on a Greyhound bus time machine from the 60's till now. The cosmic magic bus ride makes some groovy stops along the way leading up to the Priest Family Madness tournament. We all have 1978's Stained Class in our top four as it takes on 1984's Defenders of the Faith. Will the Metallion be out Classed?

The Spinner year is 2019 and we all come up with some cool stuff.

This week we welcome in Symeon from Paris. Symeon is the official biographer of Matt from Kansas City whom we all know from Uncle Steve's Mega Maiden Zone. We have a lot of fun with that and of course get Symeon's music and metal story and hear all about his first Judas Priest concert experience which occured less than a week before this recording.

The Priest Family Madness Tournament rolls on with the classic 1977 album Sin After Sin Vs. 1988's Ram It Down. I know, right?

The Spinner year was this very year of 2026. What is your favorite record released thus far this year?

We could not believe it's been over two feckin years since we have had our good friend Fearghal Traynor on the Priestcast. We suck. Jeff just visited Fearg in Dublin last month though so he's off the hook but Jay's just a bad friend. We hope all is forgiven this week as we get caught up with all the goings on in Feargs life. We hit on marriage, Freak Pointing, mutuals, travel, music and a lot more. Did you know Fearg is also a hilarious comedian?

The Priest Family Madness tournament moves on with the epic Sad Wings Of Destiney Vs. KK's Priest Sermons Of The Sinner. We may have been a little brutal towards KK's record.

The Spinner year was 2004. Some really good records were discussed.

Check out Freak Pointing " Too Tall To See The Moon" available everywhere.

This week we welcome Jonas back to the Priestcast. Jonas is a professor of sociology and co author of a book about the sociology of religion. Holy shite, a hell of a topic to discuss and we deep dive into the relationship between metal and religion and trip down some rabbit holes along the way. We hope you all dig it as much as we did.

The Priest Family Madness rolls on with Priest's debut Rocka Rolla taking on Rob Halford and family's Christmas record "Celestial".

The Spinner Year was 2009. A great year in music

This week we welcome back the man from Man, man. If you are ever driving a vehicle on The Isle Of Man watch out for Paul-he just acquired his driving license at age 56. BEWARE! Paul has enough stories to fill 100 podcasts so even after his fourth appearance on the Priestcast we've barely scratched the surface. And of course Paul knows everyone so there were plenty of name drops. We get another segment of "Who's the Killing Machine" in. Will Paul and Jay be embarrassing posers once again or will they actually get it?

The Priest Family Madness rolls on with two "comeback" albums squaring off in the sweet 16- Painkiller Vs. Angel Of Retribution. Will it be a blowout? Stardate 2011 was the Spinner year. Obviously Jay was smoking Stardust when he made his pick.

It's another Bill week! No, we're not paying bills, we're paying homage to the most prolific music podcaster in the world, Bill. As always with our good friend, we discuss a lot of music and shows which is always interesting being that Bill lives in Australia. This episode was recorded a few hours after Judas Priest kicked off the Faithkeepers tour so of course we discuss the setlist. We also get the full story behind #31DaysOfScotch.

We kick off the second round of Priest Family Madness tournament with Priests latest record Invincible Shield Vs. Halford Crucible. Who will move on to the Elite Eight?

The Spinner year is 1991. A hell of a year for music. Our picks just might surprise you.

It's been a minute (as the kids say) but we're finally back! We kick off a new season with the dude that helped kick off this whole Priestcast 2.0 thing, our good friend Sam. Sam is our resident baseball expert and commissioner of our fantasy baseball league. Yes Jeff, you're in a fantasy league, pay attention dude! Anyway, despite forgetting he was even in a league, Jeff still has a better record than Jay. Typical.

This time around we pick an All-Star roster of Judas Priest tracks. With over 50 years and 19 records, how do we narrow it down?

The Spinner gonna party like it's 1999. What records did we pick in this Prince of a year?

This week we welcome back our good friend and music festival world traveler, Melissa (@METALCHATPOD) We get caught up with Melissas latest journey to Greece with Fearghal which included some good ol fashioned road stories and a lot of music and beer. We chat about a lot of social media mutuals along with future travel plans and bands and festivals and beer and wine and all kind of shenanigans.

The first round of the Priest Family Madness tournament concludes with two albums that are at opposite ends of most Priest fans album rankings with Killing Machine Vs. Demolition. The end of the first round also brings us to the end of season five.

The Spinner year was 2008 and there were no surprises, just great album recommendations.

This week we welcome Jonas onto the Priestcast. Jonas is way too smart to be on a podcast with Jay. Luckily Jeff was able to have an intelligent conversation with our brilliant guest. Jonas tells us about how his metal journey started. Yes-it involves an older brother and No-it does not involve Kiss! We discuss a ton of bands and genres including Post Metal which Jay had never heard of. Jonas lets us in on how metal inspired his carer path and what roll metal played in his view of the world and in parenting. A fantastic discussion that left us wanting more.

The Priest Family Madness Tournament rolls on with an interesting matchup between Edge Of the World by Tipton, Entwistle and Powell and Firepower. Any guesses how this one went?

The Spinner year was 2001. We all had awesome picks this time around.
