Judas priest cover

did a band called Gamma Ray ever cover Exciter by priest as my computer tells me i am listening to both Gamma Ray and Judas Priest

Yes, they did. You find it in the Tribute to Judas Priest Vol.2

Ralf Scheepers sang it, too....nails it!!

they also did Victim Of Changes with Hanson on vox. he nailed it too!

it is good vocals but i ws sat there listening to it and i was like "this aint Halford!"

yeah, there can be only one Halford. Scheepers is probably as close as they come though.

Yeah, awesome cover!

Love Alder's version of "Saints in Hell" too.

That Priest tribute album that Century Media released is probably the best tribute album ever... the only one that comes close is the HOLY DIO tribute (also released by Century Media, those guys know how to compile an awesome tribute CD!)

Best Priest cover ever is clearly Death's Painkiller. I just think it works so well and Chuck sounds awesome.

that was great, but it doesn't top Slayers cover of Dissident Aggressor.

Some other GREAT Priest covers:

Fates Warning - Saints in Hell

U.D.O. - Metal Gods

Nevermore - Love Bites

Testament - Rapid Fire

Winter's Bane - Steeler

Annihilator - Hell Bent for Leather

Armored Saint - Never Satisfied

Arch Enemy - Starbreaker

I've been meaning to pick this one up. I have Volume 1 and I love it. It introduced me to some newer bands that I was not familiar with at the time. You know, back in the days before the internets. :geek:

On the new Primal Fear, Ralf is as close to Halford vocally when he screams that it's scary!

They're both great covers.
Slayer's version is, dare I say it, superior to the original.

Gamma Ray
&
Helloween

on tour together this winter in EU.

Not really the point of this topic, but yes, that is killer news. I'll be hitting the London show, without a doubt.
