I've noticed a tendency on music Wikipedia articles to use music criticism after the fact to justify revising history. The Turbo period was a very successful time for the band and trying to make out like they tanked isn't true. It doesn't matter if they wore sequins or not.

The lead and infobox cite the RIAA website saying March 21, but discogs and metallum both have April 14 or April 15 as the release date. https://www.discogs.com/release/1128549-Judas-Priest-Turbo https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Judas_Priest/Turbo/443 What gives? Obviously we have to go by the real documented release date in case the RIAA site has a typo on it. Has anyone seen any other definitive material? When you ask google it also says April and all other sites I'm clicking on as well '''[[User:Lvivske|LeVivsky]]''' <small><span style="color:#FF0000">(</span>[[User talk:Lvivske|ಠ_ಠ]]<span style="color:#FF0000">)</span></small> 19:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC) |

Incongruity
[edit]This article says the Turbo tour tanked. The main Priest article, however, says it was a very successful tour. Can someone find out for sure which it is? I wouldn't know where to look. Howa0082 03:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
It states that the live album of the tour tanked not the tour itself. Harryngo 09:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Citation needed for that. I thought it was a great album. I think the whole section is op-ed and not supported. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.46.50 (talk) 19:06, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
The idea that it was poorly received by the fan base is purely subjective, editorial, and essentially just what people who imagine they were the cool kids want to imagine they thought, at the time, retro-hipsterism if you will. The tour was a hit, the concert tickets sold well, I was part of that fan base, and the parts of it I crossed paths with loved it, a full house in the arena, that's as good an anecdote as any, a lot of things look embarrassing or silly in retrospect. You could just as well say the whole band is some sort of inside joke about ridiculous eighties metal, but it wasn't, not then. No more than the satanic panics or lawsuits against Judas Priest for the suicides were, they may seem hilarious and idiotic now, but they didn't seem that way to the people involved in them back then. The reception section should just be cut out, it's opinion, not encyclopedic material. A review is subjective and that's what it is. Indiana Don (talk) 09:29, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:JudasPriest LockedIn Single 1986.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:JudasPriest LockedIn Single 1986.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

- Erechtheus, why did you redirect Turbo Lover to this page? Why can't that page have its own article? You're a poop head! --Benjamin Allen Lessig (talk) 14:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a lot of editorializing in this article
[edit]Here is an example: "Sales tapered off and the subsequent live album from the otherwise successful Fuel for Life tour did not sell as well, only going Gold after a string of Platinum certified albums." Stating that sales "tapered off" is not only not notable but a tautology. All album sales taper off, otherwise Turbo would still be a Top 20 album on Billboard in 2022. Secondly, having a gold live album is not an example of being unsuccessful. They had a string of platinum albums that were studio records. Judas Priest having a gold certified live album, contemporaneously, i.e. not as a result of five years of catalog sales does not constitute calling it a failure.
I've noticed a tendency on music Wikipedia articles to use music criticism after the fact to justify revising history. The Turbo period was a very successful time for the band and trying to make out like they tanked isn't true. It doesn't matter if they wore sequins or not. 2601:2C6:4381:4D20:E585:CCE1:F21:6064 (talk) 21:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
