K.K. DOWNING Says JUDAS PRIEST's 'Point Of Entry' Is The 'Worst' Album He Ever Made

In a new interview with Classic Rock magazine, former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Kenneth "K.K." Downing was asked to name the best record he ever made. He responded: "[Laughs] No apologies, I must pick my albums by KK'S PRIEST: 'Sermons Of The Sinner' [2021] and the new one, 'Sinner Rides Again'. They’re both very, very kick-ass and I'm proud of them both. They epitomize everything about me and who I am. They continue my legacy [with JUDAS PRIEST] and carry the hallmarks of the past."

As for the worst record he ever made, Downing said: "Jesus, I'll have to go with [JUDAS PRIEST's 1981 album] 'Point Of Entry'. But then again there are some great songs on that one. That's so, so hard to answer."

JUDAS PRIEST's seventh album, "Point of Entry" was released on February 26, 1981.

Three singles were released from the effort — "Heading Out to the Highway", "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin'" — all of which had accompanying music videos. The band performed "Heading Out To The Highway" up until the release of the "Priest... Live!" album, and "Hot Rockin'" was still occasionally performed through early 2000s. On the 2005 "Re-united" tour JUDAS PRIEST also played "Solar Angels" on rare occasions: on the "Point Of Entry" tour, this was the opening song on every show.

"Point of Entry" was remastered and re-released in 2001, with two bonus tracks added — a live version of "Desert Plains" and a track from the "Ram It Down" sessions.

The U.S. cover of "Point of Entry" differed to that in the rest of the world, this being repeated with the remaster. The U.S. artwork became notorious for its use of printer paper to simulate the line in the middle of the road, and white cardboard boxes on the back.

Back in February 2011, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of "Point Of Entry", Downing offered the following comment on the LP's the classic track "Desert Plains": "'Desert Plains', to me, is just one of those songs that you can get into instantly because of the tempo and where the accents are in the riff. Additionally, and particularly in the States, the lyrical content making reference to the desert has that extra appeal for the fans in places like Arizona and New Mexico.

"Having mentioned the tempo, it was often difficult for us to keep it as per the studio version live because it seemed to work virtually at any tempo," he continued. "That's as long as it was faster of course, as is typical of bands when playing live. I guess it's because of that nervous energy and adrenalin that drives us that bit bit harder and faster when the lights go down.

"'Desert Plains' was also a song that none of us really wanted to leave out of the set, and if we did, it was only because we did not want fans to say that we kept on playing the same old songs. The song has that unique quality and feel about it and is hard to replace in the set.

"It would be great to think that songs like this are easy to keep writing, but believe me, I have tried. So unless we come up with something soon, there will be — and maybe quite rightfully — only one 'Desert Plains'."

Point of Entry хороший альбом. Просто ему не повезло оказаться между двумя Ебашайшими British Steel и Screaming for Vengeance.

Corpsegrinder04, А тебе, наверное, клип Don't Go нравится? Там ещё такие усы обольстительные.

kircore, каждый раз, когда я вижу слово "усы" ну или сами усы на ком-то, вспоминаю анекдот - "Почему у ковбоев усы в говне? Потому что они ищут любовь не в тех местах!"

Вашингтон Ирвинг, Это из Best of Trahtenberg? :)

gravitgroove, Я не знаю, этот анекдот мне рассказал мой одноклассник ещё в школе, до сих пор помню.

kircore, Что может быть обольстительного в пизде под носом ? Поведай с профессиональной точки зрения.

Corpsegrinder04, для тебя скорее всего вообще нет ничего обольстительного в пёздах

father, А вот и маргиналы подъехали со своими влажными мечтами, любители комментить мои комментарии.
Что-то покровителя вашего Старбрейкера не наблюдаю, щас что-нибудь тоже напишет с позиции старца.
Лучше бы что-нибудь толковое по поводу новости написали, а нет же всё говна накидываете.

Corpsegrinder04, а что тут скажешь? Дедушка старый, эмоций в голове намешалось всяких-разных много, вот и говорит смешные вещи. Сольники у него неплохие, но если бы их не было, ничего страшного не случилось бы, а вот классика таки ощутимо повлияла на развитие тяжеляка.

Насчёт лучших и худших альбомов JP мне сложно судить, я не большой их фанат. Как ни странно, мне нравится Rocka Rolla, и следующий альбом, который я частенько слушаю, это Painkiller, так что вся классика 70-х и 80-х прошла мимо.

Corpsegrinder04, у альбомов 80х, особенности у venegance, ущербнейшее звучание гитар, которое сильно бьёт по довольно качественному материалу. В ранних альбомах до British Steel более хард-роковая основа хоть как то вывозила гитарную лапшу

Бритиш стил и пэйнкиллер же, эталон тупой металоидной говнины

WahrandPhain, Слишком толсто

Starbreaker

Из классических пластинок (до ухода Хелфорда) я редко переслушиваю лишь Rocka Rolla и да, Point of Entry. Их включать не тянет практически никогда.
Но если сравнивать на фоне Angel of Retribution, Demolition или Redeemer, то уже и эта парочка не будет сильно выделяться.
Поздний JP в основном не торкает.

20 дек 2023

kircore

Starbreaker, Nostradamus и Firepower я бы на полку к классеге поставил.

Rutger

Худшая пристовская песня на Point Of Entry точно есть - You Say Yes.
Но есть и минимум пара проверенных временем хитов, Heading Out... и Desert Plains, поэтому плохим альбом не назовешь. Просто традиционный принцип JP "хиты + порожняк" наиболее сильно выражен.

"Turbo" хорош.

Ram it down и Painkiller это как гора Эльбрус с её двумя вершинами.
