These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
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.
