Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Replacement Scrappy: Tim "Ripper" Owens, for replacing Rob Halford. He would get the same flak by replacing Matt Barlow in Iced Earth.
Vindicated by History: Despite his lack of a sustained band to call his own; he's considered unfairly blamed for the two Priest albums, on which he was barely allowed to write anything, and his current vocal prowess is considered exceptional. A rare case in which fans have started to sympathize with the alleged scrappy.
Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: To many fans the albums Turbo and Ram It Down were disappointments. But then in 1990 Judas Priest released the phenomenal Painkiller album, which many consider one of their best albums and a classic of the speed metal genre.
The Scrappy: Ex-drummer Dave Holland, who was notorious throughout the 80s for his unrelenting, incredible mediocrity - Painkiller's popularity derives in part from the replacement of his boring, drum machine grooves with Travis' epic, heavy drum-bashing. After leaving Priest he ended up becoming even more hated after being convicted of raping a teenage boy he was giving lessons to.
Seinfeld Is Unfunny: Many aspects of their music and stage performance seem incredibly clichéd - until you realise they are the ones who started those clichés in the first place.
So Bad It's Good: Much of their glam material, from the point of view of a fan of their heavier work.
