Rob said he wants not always sing the same songs on stage, I am agree with this!
He will always do what he wants and he gives a crap of other critics!!
Bruce jumps around like a monkey on stage haaaaa!!!
Rob apears like a majesty!!!
Bruce has no voice, Rob´s voice is perfect like himself!!
He will never reach his level!!
There will be never someone like Rob!
He knows he is the BEST an he will always be!! |

|
| ....even when Rob read his lyrics on stage, he can do what he wants!!
....might the new album is not the best, but Maiden will never reach his voice and charisma on stage!

on a different topic, I was half watching top chef duals last night while working on my laptop, when I hear something about heavy metal, I look up and they introduce not some twit from Korn or Poison but Scott Ian, Gary Holt and Rob Zombie. Very cool

I went twice to the portapotty and stopped drinking altogether!! No chance I was going to miss being up front for Priest because I had to wait in a ridiculous line to pee!! Well, I wouldn't have. I would have done like the one girl and dropped drawers in the corner with the guys! Now THAT was a sight!! Actually, I would have gone BEHIND the portapotty so my ass was only visible IF someone drove by behind them It was quite hilarious to see the guys peeing in the corner while Steel Panther was being interviewed on the other side of the curtained fence!! Perhaps they were giving their review of their set!

Back in the day they would have given 1/2 hour for those lesser bands. KORN WOULD NOT STOP!!!! I remember Pine Knob when they had Metal Church on the main stage. Only a few of us there but, hell, I moved from the hill into the front seats with the 50 others who really liked them. What about the good ol' days?!?

Stone Temple Pilots was GREAT and the only band that I truly enjoyed seeing other than Priest.

A lot of people in their 20's. I really think ROS has brought in a younger crowd which is awesome to see. The people around me knew ALL the songs too, not just the radio songs.
Yes, we definitely needed MORE PORTAPOTTYS!!! But with VIP, the food lines weren't as bad as the regular crowd had to endure and our line for the bar was almost non-existent AND we had somewhere to sit down to eat/drink/chat away from the wind. But the "gourmet" food? WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT???!!! Like Spa, I would rather have had fried food on a stick than that overpriced crap they called "gourmet"! WHO THE FUCK puts an EGG on a GYRO??!!!

The best part for me besides seeing Priest was hanging out with everyone - Ron, Bev, Vail, Randy, Spa and others that are not here on the board!! I truly love each and every one of you!

HRMG I have to agree, ROS definately has caught the imagination of the younger generation....people up here young and old seem to LOVE the album too...ROS is a masterpiece.
There are far far more people who love it vs. people who dislike it......THAT is obvious.
I dont see how one COULDNT like it if they claim to be a fan of quality Judas Priest.

| sounds a lot like the first, and last monsters of rock festival in calgary. Priest played, it was mostly a ozzfest lineup, with priest added. 90 min line to get in, missed the first band. bathrooms were ok just 20 min wait. Beer line over 2 hours. Burger 90 min, thankfully we went just before a thunderstorm, so were undercover for that. |

Acolyte. Yup, that was the setlist. And yes, the VIP experience could've been better. More port-a-potties, to start. Took every fiber of my being not to squat and go while in line.

Delays when your exhausted. REALLY REALLY SUCK!
I know the feeling. Once lost the connecting flight home in NY after our flight out of Greece made us too late to catch it. Spent 8 hours in the airport all jet lagged trying to get a room assignment from Olympic. Finaly got a room at midnight and had to be up and ready for our next flight by 5 am. Sucked bad.
Good to see you finally made it.

But yes, as one who had joined the "posse" at the Louder than Life festival, I can also confirm that JP played a really great show (and that it was COLD AS FUCK!!! As a thin-skinned Californian, it was unbearable). I wished that it could go on, but alas, the festival staff was dead set on finishing the day on time.

I'm finally awake and able to function. It was a great weekend and I really enjoyed meeting up with old friends and new and enjoying our time together. Loss of sleep and freezing my ass off were the negatives of the weekend.
The show was incredible but too short. Nothing Priest could do about that though aside from sending a hit squad to bump off Korn. That would have been a good idea. lol
Rob was in great form! He moved with an ease I had not seen in years and it was truly a blessing to see it. Glenn was fantastic, Scott was spot on, Ian was smiling and seemed at ease, and Ritchie was incredible too. I was shocked to hear Turbo Lover, but I found I didn't mind it. Valhalla was great! Rob nailed the part from low to high on that song! I'm not so good with breaking a set list down for individual reviews so I'll just say It was an awesome show and I just wish we could have heard them for another hour. I'm selfish that way.
This was the first Live and Loud Festival and it might be the last if the people who put this shit together didn't learn a thing or two. I have a list of compaints about the VIP experience there. I could care less that they hung chandaliers from the tent tops. What matters is this. Is there enough bathrooms to keep people from standing in line for far too long? NO. Is there enough casual seating in the eating areas? NO. Is the food advertised as Gormet good? NO I'd rather have state fair things on sticks. I know what to expect from that. Not a suprise gyro with egg. (yuck).

It was a FANTASTIC weekend! We had an absolute BLAST! It was an honor to be a part of such a great group of people. We truly are a metal family here on the Board.
We made it home safely, stopping at a Waffle House for breakfast and Bilbo's in Portage for dinner. Damn I miss my Hobbit Stix and dill dip being so close in East Lansing!! Glad to see you made it home safe and sound!

No Jawbreaker, BTROD, Defenders of the Faith, March of the Damned and a few more that they did in New York. I am sure the rest of the posse can fill in some more. I'd have to look at the setlist myself to be sure but I am tired.
To the 11 or so of us who made it there, I hope you all made it home safely! Whatta blast!!! Great show, all in all. Can't wait until Detroit to "hopefully" see the full NY set.
JD. Could be your phone. You should see the link that says "Inbox" right above "Member:.... /Emai: .... " If you don't see THOSE, then my money is on the phone causing the error.
