Yup! No sense keeping posts underground, eh? Firepower. With three more concerts on the horizon and TONS of playtime under my belt with the album, I still say that Flame Thrower is one of the best on the album. NECROMANCER as well as Firepower itself have grown on me tremendously and Traitor's Gate is just a balls-out masterpiece.
Make mine Priest <==who remembers THAT old slogan?
Just a post to keep everything active!! Had Firepower going non stop now since the release, haven't played one of their albums(rob included) this much since Crucible -Acolyte

Holy SHIT! Ben Weinman playing for Suicidal now? YEAH!
With Dave Lombardo still on drums, SUPERGROUP!! Bring back Trujillo on bass!
Saxon was 10x better in Detroit than Youngstown. The first night they had to cut the set short and in Youngstown they didn't sound that great either. In Detroit they said they were recording but they didn't say if it would be for release or not. Anyway not sure if that was the reason or they just got the kinks out but they were badass. A lot of old stuff too. I sat out Black Star Riders. Never liked Thin Lizzy and they are just more of the same. The venue was kick ass. I've been in a few theaters that had cool decor like that but I've never been in one that grand in size. Pretty spectacular place. It was a sold out show and crowd response was good. I would go to Detroit again just to see a show in that building. Great place for concerts.

I contemplated going to that show, but its a harder destination from here, more expensive, and I want to see lots of things in the Denver area.
fingers crossed that Rob sounds great in Loveland. not pumped for BSR either. dont need thin lizzy, and they are just half that anyway. last time thin lizzy was opening they came out to maybe 100 people. I figure I will get there in time to grab a burger while they are on

Really curious to hear from Headbanger. Not expecting anything negative he just doesn't seem like the fanboy type so we should get honesty. I'm wondering if he hears a difference and what he thought if so.

Rob was just a little off. Throat issues maybe? More often than not he sounded fine but several times his voice got really raspy and scratchy. Richie and Andy are doing great even though Andy isn't doing much. Richie is getting all the lead work. His only solo was during Hell Bent. They swapped out Angel for The Green Manalishi which I thought was cool. The real problem for me though is how much it doesn't sound like Priest. Richie is doing a great job and I think Firepower could be their overall best effort but he changes the classic songs so much that their is a noticeable difference. It would be great if they were a tribute act but they aren't so it's hard to take. It can't and won't happen but I would prefer to see Richie only do his songs live or stay true to the original if they have to do the older stuff. If you don't mind them sounding different you will love them right now. As a band they are playing really tight. A little more movement out of Rob this time around. Richie is great with the crowd. I think this tour is better than the last two. Probably not as positive as everyone wanted to hear I don't know. I strive for honesty. Take it how you want.
It may take me a day or two to post a review from colorado. an hour drive to the hotel after the show I will probably be ready for bed. have to email myself a link to the board so I can find it easier when there. But give it just over a week I will post a review here.
