Aside from "they dumb."

I'll take this one and attempt to address your question.
The only thing that anyone could possibly associate Judas Priest with power metal by, would be Rob and his vocals. I just can't think of any other reason, not really. I've listened to a lot of Judas Priest, from their very early material, clear to their newest album. There is not a whole lot musically, aside from Rob and his vocals that can be associated with power metal.
Rob could very easily front a power metal band.
