Review: What's left to say but if your a Priest fan this is a must Great words from Martin Popoff n excellent photographs from every era n year. Also n my fav is all the Ads n flyers. Highly recommended n also his Uriah Heep UFO & Nazareth Books of the same format are exceptional. Goonsplashthecash. Review: The best comparison for this book, which has lots of pictures in it but relatively few words (hence the title), is the 50th Anniversary Judas Priest picture book that came out recently. On the 'negative' side it's unsurprisingly a lot smaller than the more expensive 50th Anniversary slab but what makes it noticeably better is that the pictures are a lot more intimate and immediate, hence you get a lot more of a sense of the real characters being photographed than the highly glossy 50th anniversary brick of a book which has handpicked the glossiest best of the best. This sort of brings it more too life as an historical record of real people doing what they love (in leather and studs). It covers right through from the early days, with some really interesting off-stage pictures that I haven't seen before of the Atkins era line up, right through Rob's Tim Brooke Taylor era of the early 80s, the village people inspired Screaming for Vengeance look and his Nostradamus 'Gandalf' Lord of the Rings period (oddly mixed with some sort of James Bond voodoo villain), complete with the magical staff that he fought Saruman with in the tower of Isengard. Unfortunately it doesn't quite complete the transformation, when Rob finally morphs in his later years into a cross between Grandad from Only Fools and Horses and Captain Birds Eye. I flicked through it, quickly read the somewhat spartan words from Mr Popoff who uses pompous phrases like 'begets a son' as if this was some sort of biblical account of the 'real' Judas, and then popped it on the bookshelf to gather dust. I guess that's where it will stay, on top of the 50th Anniversary picture book which I also flicked through once. Reason it's 4 stars? Well, its pictures of Judas Priest - the best metal band in the world!
