the style and such was different, but without hiring a singer, the band would have died.  Priest could not have been dead for 10+ years and mounted any kind of comeback.

Well said, indeed...HOWEVER, I beg to differ. Allow me;

While I do understand that the Band wanted to continue, play, compose, make a living, etc.....I do not agree that the music was "true" or "classic" Priest. Now, I don't blame Owens for that. I mean, as you said, he was just an employee. A singer-for-hire, if you will (as far as WE know). My problem lies with the musical direction. As I have said before, I do not think it was anything like the classic, melodic Priest which we all so know and love.

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.

Didn't follow 'em. Don't know. All I remember is the first post-Rob album was on a sample station at the local record store (anyone remember those?). I was horrified. Boycotted 'em for 8 years out of respect for the dead.

Many also think as I do.

Ripper bashing makes me go hmmmm...
  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!

its all in the perception , rerecently the price of recycling aluminium went up about .5 cents a can , this had beer companys scrambling to introduce new price measures to keep there beers at 11.99a six pack because if you cant and you reach 12.00 and your competition managed to keep theirs to 11.99 you will lose big time sales because it is perceived to be way cheaper

[Vaillant 3.0] Friday, January 29, 2010 10:45:00 PM 
Why is it that the prices of most store items end with .99 cents? For example, I went to the store earlier today to buy some milk. It cost $1.99. Same thing with the box of pancake flour that I bought earlier this week. It cost $2.99. Why not round the price to two or three dollars? You might as well, right? It's not like the extra tax is one cent...

Well, feel free to PM details if you like but a Winbox (Windows) as I assume you run is easy to crack. I still stand by my original statement that you were NOT hacked by anyone. Sharing a public folder without intent is pretty common but what usually turns out to be the case is that the person to whom you gave "permission" never even knew it.

Nothing to sweat over, I say again.

Nothing to do with this website, HR, unless you gave your email addy to a REALLY knowledgeable user. Doubtful that many could do it even if you did.

I wouldn't sweat it. I get a thousand calls a week about hackers, malware, etc. and none turn out to be real. I am speaking of DECADES here.

Files                                         can view the files in your FavoriteThingsShare folder.  
                                          can view the files in your Shared favorites folder.  
                                          can view the files in your Public folder

YEAH my computer has been working kind of screwy for a while now and i was just looking around checking out my homepage and links on email pressed the contacts link and noticed this apparently i gave permission for someone( i deleated the email address as shown above) to view all this.i sure as hell never did.i have since deleated the contact.Hmmmmmmmm.wtf

Sheba, I am so sorry for your loss. May your mother's soul rest in peace. I'm sure that in her last days and hours, she took great comfort in having a daughter such as you to hold her hand, give comfort and be with her in such a loving way. Celebrate her life and remember all the good that you shared together.
Love from your metal family x

Hey Hellrider I couldn't agree with you more! Did you have a bad storm Sunday? My brother was driving back from Toronto and said it was horrible. Usually you guys get what we have in Michigan a day later and it's just been freakin' cold here but no snow.

Oh, I wanted to tell you that my son got in trouble for singing "Hellrider" on the bus! LOL! It's one of his favorite songs.... good to know that I'm raising him with good taste in music! And as usual, we metal heads get in trouble for what we listen to. I told him that he'd better get used to people telling him that he shouldn't listen to it and just ignore them (later I'll tell him what to do but he's only 10).
