Paseo de la Reforma is one of the biggest roads in México, D.F. and Guanajuato is both the state and the city were I spent a lot of my childhood. If you ever get to either, I'll have really good places for you to eat.

I never mentioned tolerating bad behavior. The lack of being able to tolerate someone
usually causes this kind of behavior. Let me stress I'm not a peace freak. I know the world
will never get along. If I can eliminate the hate from my world then that's all I really care about.
I didn't mean to cause anger with this post.
Why is this an issue today? I tolerate a whole bunch of stuff. But if you think I will tollerate someone calling me names like "whore" etc, you are dead wrong. I will not. I also will not tollerate someone using abusive language and connotations towards my friends, speaking demeaning to someone, nor insulting this entire board. That aside, I'm tollerant.

He chain smoked, did not eat properly and was under tremendous stress. His sons work on the boat with him and it was a "family" business catching crab.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, not much we can do about that other than continue to hope. I have no idea if they are even in the studio right now..?? Last I heard, they were taking a break from the tour. I have not heard anything reliable about recording.
Yes, life is VERY short my friend. Can't take it for granted.
Yeah he didn't take care of himself thats for sure,and yeah I think that with all the danger and lifestyle these guys endure on a daily basis they get caught up with that instead of thinking about thier personal health. Phil was my favorite member too,he was hard core and there was something about his personality that was interesting to watch. Life is shorter than we think and thats why I want a new album by Judas Priest!!!!!

Yes, I remember that episode as well. It turned out that he had a blood clot in his lung!

The guy was your classic "old salt". Refused to change his ways and thought he was invincible. I suppose it would be easy to feel that way if one spent so much time in the Bearing Sea doing what these guys do. 40-50 foot waves, winds at or near hurricane speed, danger and injury part of everyday life. I guess there comes a point where you have survived so much danger you think you cannot die?
Most everyone that I know likes captain Sig on the Northwestern. The Princess does. He's cool but I always felt a connection with Phil Harris. I have no idea why, other than I do not take proper care of myself, either! HA!!!!!!!! I don't drink or smoke but that doesn't guarantee anything. Anyway, I will miss the guy. He died during filming so it will be interesting to see how, if at all, they work it into this season.

I am a fan of the show and feel a sense of loss. Those that are familiar with this program will recall that Harris lived a pretty unhealthy life. He chain smoked, did not eat properly and was under tremendous stress. His sons work on the boat with him and it was a "family" business catching crab. I always considered Harris my "favorite" on the show. He was quite a character. I am pretty sure he was almost my age but I would like to believe I look a bit better than he did...HA!!!!!!

No. He was not married. You are thinking of captain Rick or perhaps the guy with the Norwegian wife. They both had wives on their boats. Phil had his sons, Josh and Jake ,on the boat. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by joedraper from Wednesday, February 10, 2010 11:16:04 AM)

No. Nothing of the kind. There may, indeed, be a binding problem with any bird laying eggs. Taking that nest out would be a way to discourage egg-laying. What you are doing with that food supplement is trying to replace the "hit" your egg-layer is taking every time she lays an egg.
If she has a nest, she will likely continue to lay eggs. Any one could "bind" or not. At least that supplement will help her not suffer calcium/mineral depletion that will take place whenever she produces eggs.There will always be a chance of one getting "stuck" (binding) with every egg she lays, though.

Be sure to have a cuttlebone in there. THAT is calcium. I'd also put in a mineral block if you don't already have one.
Watch that egg-layer though. Binding is a big problem and she'll need more attention than the others. That is when I'd go to the product you bought below. Make sure she gets the most of it. Overkill for the rest of them.

i will definatly keep in in mind my good friend.and thank you again. hey would it be allright if i mixed this proteen egg food with there food all the time since it has the calcium and vitamins.
Well, do as you will but you know my thoughts on the subject.
Calcium to the egg-layer! If not, seizure / death will certainly be in her near future. Good luck.

Yes sir. That would work. A non-breeder, keep the calcium high is #1. Don't forget to get that make-shift nest out of there as well. Once you take out the egg, it will only encourage her to lay another if there is still a nest. Each egg will take a great toll on her body. That is why you really need that supplement. Egg binding (it basically gets stuck) could easily kill as could low calcium from a non-breeder.
Keep me posted, bro.

With a nest, you are encouraging her to lay more once you remove this one or she finds it doesn't hatch.
Lack of calcium from egg laying can cause seizures. Watch it, bro. Easy way to lose her.

several listens I started liking it. I think it's pretty heavy. It may be a little different for Priest but that's
the great thing about Priest. Ever evolving, always different each time out. When I saw them live Ripper
fit in so much better than the first time. I ended up seeing them four times on that tour. Pittsburgh, Akron,
Cleveland, and Columbus. I took friends who had never seen Priest and they loved it. Also just watching
the crowd response(and size) made me feel pretty good. Was it Halford Priest? Of course not. But it was
still the Priest. Scott still pounding the drums, K.K. and Glennstill shredding the guitars, Ian was still

Rust. It may rival Rob's version. I am much happier with Rob in the band but I was equally as glad to just
have Priest doing something again. Peace

Do Priest fans not realize that there was an 8 year gap between albums. They were going nowhere.
Then (THEY) discovered Ripper. Rob wasn't coming back and for us and them they had to do something.
Some seem to think Ripper tried too hard to copy Rob but Priest actually dictated that. They chose his wardrobe,
his singing style and so on. Ripper was an employee of Priest. As far as the musical direction Priest has
always evolved their sound so as not to sound the same each time out. In my mind the only problem with Jugulator
was the production more so than the music. I think they corrected that with Demolition. To me there are some
very heavy songs on that record. Lastly if anyone saw Priest on the Demolition tour(I did 4 times) they were as tight and great
sounding as ever. Ripper kept the Priest going. Praise him don't criticize him. Just my opinion, only matters to me.
PEACE!

And the thing that gets me is that Rob Halford left the band (as far as I know) hanging and seems like a lot fans take it out on Ripper Owens just because he replaced the guy that walked out on Priest. You're right about the production on Jugulator, its not that great but still a great album and Demoliton takes some getting use to but its heavy. I wish they would have recorded at least on more cd with Ripper that had a more traditional Priest sound. That would have been awesome.
And yes I still have a big crush Tim Owens and J.D. Diamond.....

My opinion is that while Priest are the greatest, they somehow missed the "cult of personality" in the late 80's when they put out Turbo. Not too many years later they were stuggling to find a new frontman. That really hurt them. I Think they have done really well considering some of the somewhat disasters during their carreer. They will live on long after they retire as a classic, if not founding, influence to Heavy Metal. Edited at: Sunday, January 31, 2010 1:40:07 PM Edited at: Sunday, January 31, 2010 1:41:21 PM

Hmmm...
Just wondering. Did you ever think about whether Priest has achieved the kind of success
that they deserve. They have sold millions of records and still draw large crowds to their shows.
They still have a career some 40 years later. Unheard of in the music world except for a select few.
They are getting closer to the end. Do you think they hold their respective position among the
musical heirarchy, or do you think they deserve more. Tell me what you think.

your right, its about making music and money. but the spin off was keeping the name out there.
my thoughts on aerosmith is they should have never formed to begin with. but I have no problem with Van hagar. hell the band is named for Eddie. (bands named after one or 2 members annoy me just on principle though, its a colaboration of all the members)
My thought is the name should lie with the majority of members. GNR, they are dead. Axle does ok on the current tour, but its not GNR with 8 guys on stage, and only one was around when they did Apetite.
Black sabath now is different, as they have had more people thru the band than most concert halls have had thru the front door.
your right, many fans left and came back on board when Rob came back. just imagine what would have happened if they had put our AOR in 1993/4?
Ratt??? think they can sell now? mind you they were never at the level JP was at.
Have you heard Ripper with Chared walls of the damned? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Saturday, January 30, 2010 3:16:13 PM)

I know of not a single friend that was a JP fan that followed the Ripper era. It was only when Halford re-emerged that we (well, I who inspired friends) all started to jump back on the JP wagon. Ratt is coming back together, Deep Purple after X years in the Perfect Strangers tour. Think THAT had to do with name recognition? Van Halen was a sold out concert last tour. Hagar hates them and Michael A. left. Still, no effect.
The music stands on its own. Halford was a vital part of the band. Same as the above bands I mentioned. Remember that you are talking to a DIEHARD JP fan here. I have quit jobs to follow them for complete seasons. Just never into the Ripper era, I guess....to me, it will never be Priest.
(sadly, same goes for my feelings of Ripper in Iced Earth. Great singer but just has not found his proper outlet)

I do not like Jugulator or Demolition. I have a few of the songs (through the Metalogy set) and I do not care for them at all. I have heard all the others and I feel the same way. Are they well done? Sure. Are they "heavy"? Absolutely. Are they true Priest? I do not think so. They lack the classic melody that I look for in a Priest song. I have nothing against Owens. He is a great vocalist and has done well for himself since. I do not "criticize" him, as he was just singing. I was not there when he was hired, nor was I involved with the Band on an intimate level so I have NO idea what they said to him or made him do. I believe all of that is conjecture.
When I compare AoR to Demolition or Jugulator, there is no comparison..for me. None. There is no comparison to ANY Priest album and those two. They were a completely different band, as far as I am concerned and AoR proves my point. All it took was bringing Rob back to find what was missing. How that was done is not important to me.

In 1997 when Jugulator was released,I didn't know of any friends that were JP fans that followed the Ripper era either Guido.I knew Jugulator was coming out about 8 months before it hit the shelves and I actually like the Jugulator album,its not as good as Rob singing of course,but I thought it had a few good tracks on it,the 3 I don't like are Death Row,Burn In Hell and Abductors.The rest is tollerable. It may not be "Priest" but it was an ok heavy metal record.
The album I HATE is Demolition.YUK.
Or Iced Earth,thier first 2 albums are classics and I would recomend any heavy metal fan to buy Iced Earth debut,and Night Of The Storm Rider....both classic LPs and GREAT heavy metal music,but every single album after the first 2 just went off the map for me including Ripper Owens,he just didn't fit but its not his fault,the music in Iced Earth changed after the first 2 albums.
Had they kept the style of those first 2 albums then Ripper could of fit in there,but the albums that he sings on is too symphonic and epic...Iced Earth switched over to a style like Blind Guardian,Gamma Ray and Hammerfall,ridiculously too epic and too symphonic...just a mess.

sounding as ever. Ripper kept the Priest going. Praise him don't criticize him. Just my opinion, only matters to me.

Neither here nor there, really. I just didn't like either album. NOT Priest, as far as I was concerned. "Halford," on the other hand, was something that shook me to my soul.

Yes, the sound was "heavy". In fact, it was far TOO heavy for me. Much more like a contemporary Metal sound than an "old school" sound. As for seeing them live, my wife (at the time) worked security for a show here at the Hard Rock in Vegas and she said that it was like "watching a Priest Cover Band." It did not have the same look, feel or sound of Priest.
I do not like Jugulator or Demolition. I have a few of the songs (through the Metalogy set) and I do not care for them at all. I have heard all the others and I feel the same way. Are they well done? Sure. Are they "heavy"? Absolutely. Are they true Priest? I do not think so. They lack the classic melody that I look for in a Priest song. I have nothing against Owens. He is a great vocalist and has done well for himself since. I do not "criticize" him, as he was just singing. I was not there when he was hired, nor was I involved with the Band on an intimate level so I have NO idea what they said to him or made him do. I believe all of that is conjecture.
When I compare AoR to Demolition or Jugulator, there is no comparison..for me. None. There is no comparison to ANY Priest album and those two. They were a completely different band, as far as I am concerned and AoR proves my point. All it took was bringing Rob back to find what was missing. How that was done is not important to me. Only that it happened.

Good point. It did grab a lot of fans. Still does, as evidenced by our pal "Numero Uno". It is not "bad" music at all. It is very good. It is just not what I look for in PRIEST music. It sounds like another band to me, that's all. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Saturday, January 30, 2010 12:08:55 PM)

You may very well be right, HB. I don't know. I mean, there are bands that have "faded away" from the spotlight and yet managed to mount a comeback. I don't blame Priest for continuing without Rob. Like I said, they did what they had to do to remain active. My point is, the music was NOT Priest. Not for me.

mmmm I'm hungry now LOL!
You're right about the production on Jugulator, its not that great but still a great album and Demoliton takes some getting use to but its heavy. I wish they would have recorded at least on more cd with Ripper that had a more traditional Priest sound. That would have been awesome.
Hmmm...
