There is a band that I saw at ROTR called Avatar. I started following them on Facebook and just got a message about a Festival they are playing in Louisville KY in October. Guess who Saturday's Headliner is. Judas Priest. Others are Korn, Alter Bridge kid Rock, Five Finger Death Punch, Avatar. Now I gotta plan another freakin' festival!!!

| After careful consideration, I feel my synopsis of Nostradamus was a bit harsh..I do like the album and it gets spun fairly often at my house..I love the story and the songs and Rob's voice..I just feel it could SOUND better..I was one of the defenders of the album from the get-go when it was getting bashed by a lot of Priest "fans"..I just think it could stand to be re-mixed..I would happily re-purchase it, especially if there's bonus tracks or maybe a DVD..Priest has been and always will be my favorite band and they can do no wrong in my book..I am waiting for Redeemer of Souls with baited breath and will continue to enjoy Nostradamus.. |

| Listening to Nostradamus right now..the mix is awful..muddy..same problem with the last Van Halen album..Please remix this thing because it is great..I understand trying to save a buck but Rob's vocals are so good on this thing and it's a travesty that they can't be properly heard..Glenn, please get Roy Z or Charlie Baurfiend and stop trying to produce these things yourself..end of rant |

Another Jim Breur video I took @ ROTR. "Heavy Metal Man". The fella's in their forties should get a kick out of this. It's comedy but this is pretty heavy. I think it almost has a Priest feel to it.

Yes! his solos are priest like, one of the things I was afraid of that it would be missed on this new album. But the two new tunes shows that the priest sound is intact and I have already pre-ordered the new album on both CD and Vinyl and can't wait for them.

HF should be working on a new album this year,yet when this new Priest album comes out they will be drooling over it ,pumping it and forget about thier new album ha.
Man I can't freakin wait till Redeemer Of Souls is released,11 more tracks to listen too and 5 more bonus songs too...we are very lucky to have JP in 2014....hail to Richie Faulkner!!!
His solos sound so Priest like,but not like Downings .....just a true fit for this band its utterly amazing how perfect he fits in Judas Priest.

Pipen...no your absolutely right,Hammerfall out of SEVERAL british styled traditional heavy metal bands seems to be the only band that sounds like 1980's heavy metal : 80's Judas Priest(70's too) ,80's Iron Maiden,80's Dio (Holy Diver/Last In Line)
stuff like this shows up in thier material but never a rip off,just a homage ect....
They are not for you,and most heavy metal fans
but like I said for me,I've studied traditional heavy metal and TONS of bands these last ...about 7 years or so now...and HF imo is the very best...not just because they dound 80's,but because of how GREAT and AWSOME thier songs and albums are man. Sure they have one or two songs here and there that I dont like,but not many. Dont like thier ballads ect...but yeah they fuckin kick ass.Joacim Cans is one KICK ASS original vocslist.

J.D. I also see them as HM, ( Never heard of Death Dealer so them aside) but with a more modern touch and style, HammerFall imo are more traditional eighties, in my eras at least. :) so that's what I ment with last standing .....
But that is an highly subjective opinion of course . :)

Pipen, actually Hammerfall isnt the only band left thst is british styled traditional with thier own style .....Primal Fear....Iced Earth....Death Dealer....there are a few more that I can't think of....but they are just not my style,but they are good bands though...
They all play a Painkiller/Jugulator style of Priest's influence in them ....so yeah they are all good bands but just not for me thats all ...
Hammerfall's Priest influences that show up in thier music comes from 70's and mostly 80's Judas Priest songs. HF would of fit well if they came out in 1982. They have 8 studio lps from 1997 -2011 and for me personally I love thier first 7 albums.
They last one sucks heavily imo.
Definately not pushing Hammerfall on anyone,but to me...out of tons of bands I've heard....HF carries the traditional 80's banner with sound and image aesthetics and most importantly thier songs.

I can agree with that, HammerFall might be the last standing traditional heavy metal band even though I haven't fallen for them so much.
They are ok but that's about it.

It is a masterpiece of excellence, but just something I for whatever reason cant seem to harness its magic. But Im well aware of how epic and how versitile it is.
Accept....yeah man,even though I dont rave about them they are classic true traditional heavy metal yes,and thier new albums are just as classic and if not heavier then that of 80's Accept,just a classic heavy metal band all the way around,much heavier than Saxon by style and piurpose ect....
I meant when all bands that are old and oldschool from the 80's like Sabbath,Ozzy,Priest,Maiden,Saxon,Accept....the day the last one retires then in my opinion Hammerfall will definately be the number #1 current classic traditional styled heavy metal band. |

I love the Painkiller album,not just "like" it...I see why most Priest fans starve for this level of heavy metal cause it IS heavy metal at its all time heaviness....Im all for Priest making a record not that sounds like PK but as heavy sure....but at the same time if they want to write classic 80's stuff then Im game with that.
Wait untill we hear the opener "Dragonaut"....I'm sure it will kick our asses..... |

No, I figured you at least had to "like" the Painkiller album since you're into way heavier stuff than Priest.

Somehow you get the idea that I dont like the album or over rate it? Not so.
I love Painkiller,I bought it the day it came out,consider it #4 all time lp of Priests and still pump it heavily.
It is the everest of Priest's heavy albums yes,but to me Sad Wings,BS,SFV beats it. IMO only.
And yes I think fans want a much more heavier lp than AOR and Nostra. I do too. I liked AOR not only for the 8 out of 10 yracks I like but also the way it was purposely recorded not as heavy as Painkiller to harken back to an lp that sounded somewhere inbetween SFV and DOTF kinda sound ect....
