@JD -Yes it is awesome that after 30+years listening to them that) A- they are all alive)B-putting out a new album, I think Richie was/is more important than we will ever know, unless they finally write the book, and after the Ian Hill interview man we might get 19, however I think they really need to speed up the whole 4 years in between thing if they are to have a chance , but I will take #18 with 14 tracks to keep me going

@guido... Yes it IS!!! Amazing!!! It's too high man 2018 LOL guido and Another Judas Priest record we are waiting for indeed!
Dude .... They can do one more album if they released it In 2020 and perhaps do a short tour maybe 5 elite shows Somewhere but we'd get the studio album ... Yeah Im dreaming It is AWSOME even if this is the last record cause like you said It's amazing in 2018 we are getting this kind of QUALITY material
@Acolyte...I'll check that out ASAP ... Acolyte,guido... It's awsome that the band found Ritchie Faulkner just to get them through the Epitaph tour 2011 ... Without him fitting in so well as he does ... We'd be toast without the Priest so man he is so important to Judas Priest in this stage of thier careers as I know you'd agree of course. Freaking loving this fact that Firepower will be releases March 9th !

As Acolyte-interviews on blabbermouth.net with Ian and Scott about the drumming and keep on keeping on

Fully agree with regard to "Lightning Strike," J.D. Isn't it amazing that here we sit in 2018 waiting for yet another Priest release?
I don't give a shit about anyone else. Make mine PRIEST!
Ok I heard Lightning Strike on killer computer speakers and its definitely got a different sound style than Redeemer Of Souls... I love this track ... Been listening to it every day and it's truly classic Judas Priest! I love the lyrics especially how Rob discribed all the lyrics on Blabbermouth article ...
It's got the same vibe/beat as the Redeemer Of Souls title track and I do LOVE the Redeemer Of Souls track but this song is even better! How do they keep coming up with these excellent tunes?
Yeah the sound and style sound different for sure. This album Firepower could be one hell of a record and could be one of the top 4 albums of thier discography just by the excellent quality of songwriting lightning Strike Shows.
Fuck this is awsome guys....Redeemer Of Souls and now Firepower is like the same feelings as when Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith were released back in 82' & 84'
Absorb all you can and charish the moment cause this is something special headed our way

Brand new Judas Priest "Lightning Strike " sounds killer to me! Yeah it's got the same ball park drum pattern as the Redeemer Of Souls title track song and yeah it's basic and yeah it's not ground breaking but wtf else do we want? I can name songs of old that are not better: "Here Come The Tears/SAINTS in Hell/Burnin Up/Don't Go/Take These Chains/Eat Me Alive/One Shot At Glory
Granted this might be the first time in Priest history that 2 albums may sound alike (Redeemer Of Souls & Firepower).... although listening on my phone from first listen does sound similar in style.... that's the only strange thing.... perhaps with a proper listen with ALL SONGS from start to finish on a proper stereo will give us a better idea as to weather the Firepower album has it's own sound identity .
Anyways I like it.... I'm sure it's a good fit on an album ..... crazy there is new Judas Priest in 2018!

Ooh! Forgot to respond:
Congrats on getting a chance to see the Metal Gods, Nupe! Hope you have an excellent time!
Oh, situation report regarding next summer. I decided to eventually go to the festival for two days to see both Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest. Two-day ticket plus bus travels from the train station to the airfield (where the festival is held) cost me a total of 139€. Haven't checked train ticket prices yet, but shouldn't be much as Hyvinkää is not that far away.
I reckoned paying 40€ "extra" to see another great heavy metal artist on his last world tour is well worth it.
[guidogodoy] Saturday, January 06, 2018 10:30:54 PM
Diggin' it as well. As for the pre-orders? Damn! Red LPs gone like wildfire!! Some 29 left of the other? ALL the Richie guitars gone? ESP with a soft case? No details as to pickups and whatnot? Not even a close-up as to what-all they HAVE? Glenn's fake is still there. Heck, I got the autographed GIBSON for $2500!!! #6/30. Wow. Well, good to see such a feeding frenzy. Best buy the stuff to remove all temptation!
As Acolyte-Lightning strikes, first release of priest is out, 3:29 long + song titles from Firepower, 13 tracks, Bruce dickinson in on one of the songs,children of the sun I believe and more
[Vaillant 3.0] Saturday, January 06, 2018 1:17:45 AM
Thanks for the info, Acolyte! GREAT song, that Firepower. I'm diggin' it!!
Video wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Still kinda sad to only see Rob and Richie being in the actual video amidst the concert footage.
Anyhoo! Here's the site for pre-ordering the album! Scroll down for the available packages. Guess how much the signed vinyls go for! Hint: not cheap!

Sure looks like that to me. Then again, this IS a teaser. Those snippets might not be part of the actual music video at all.
Hi everyone! I just wanted to stop by to wish you all a merry metal christmas and a happy new year. I wish you all the best of the best and that you and your beloved ones have a good time together. I don't think I'll be around during the holidays so I wanted to tell you that today. I hope that next year brings us a lot of great music with this new metal monster FIREPOWEEEER!! (I'm so excited) and that we don't get distracted with things as meaningless as the R&R HOF, which doesn't really determine if a band/singer has any influence whatsoever...metal has always been marginalized by the industry so this was not going to be an exception...probably they'll get all the recognition they deserve when they are dead. As for us, let us worry about the real deal that is this beast that is priest and that is preparing a new blast of heavy metal.
Love you all!

[guidogodoy] Wednesday, December 13, 2017 9:03:48 PM
Oh, come on. We all know how "innovative" and "what a contribution / influence to the genre" Bon Jovi has been over the years. After all, that is the stated mission of what the R&R HoF tries to identify.
I don't dare ask how Bon Jovi has influenced people. Hell, what is the genre? I personally don't mind 'em. Props to Richie. Good sense of humor with Jon. Hell, Triumph sums it up pretty well....

Yup, I saw that pic. Vinyl, if I remember correctly. Yes, definitely torture, especially when one wonders as to their fate. Will they be sold for, like, $10 more just 'cause they're autographed, or will they be raffled off? Or will they be given to the first 100 or so fans that pre-order an album? Arrrgh, the suspense!!!

I think the fan vote is relativly new.
you want to know the final numbers for this years fan vote, that might be doable. anythning else, nah
Oh, of course. Why I was asking about the TOTAL number of votes. How many times they were nominated is right by their years. LL Cool J was nominated 4 times...in four different YEARS. Rufus...two times = two YEARS. Certainly not publishing their super-duper secret votes by an opaque society of dimwits one by one. Big unveiling to come on the 13th of December, of course. Stated right there on the page.
My comment was just that I am amazed to see those goofballs nominated a couple+ times and was curious to know the total FAN votes of the top five. Six or seven, really. Would have liked to have seen how much higher they were against the Killers or Eurythmics.

Nupe is correct.
However the single fan vote is about meaningless. there are hundreds of voters in the pool. Bon Jovi is a lock. RATM and radiohead are probably in. JP came 5th in the fan vote, 5 get in, not sure they make it. Not the way I would do things but in reality these fuckwits cant name an album so..
