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

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....

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I LOVED it. His Brian Johnson impersonation had me cracking up, he was DEAD ON!! I loved how he had to "get a breath and grab his nuts" to do the Halford scream which was pretty damn good and I can picture Rob doing it just like that! Looks like a BLAST at ROTR!!

I'm hoping all the regulars here will watch this. It's funny as hell. Jim Breur doing a children's classic "Bingo" metal style. Each letter he impersonates a different singer. Ozzy, Halford, Hetfield, etc. You guys will love his Halford.

The weather sucked but it was probably my favorite as far as band sets go. I watched 26 bands and only 3 of them i wasn't into. Saw a couple of new bands I'll be checking out. (Avatar and Gojira.) Some surprises. The Pretty Reckless was probably my biggest. She was awesome. Loved Jim Breur's set. Gemini Syndrome (the band that hit my wife in the head with a drumstick). I loved them. They have to be my favorite new band right now. Check them out you may be suprised. Lastly, if you are even remotely interested you must go next year just to experience it. I've been to 260+ shows since 78 and ROTR is by far the craziest and funnest shows I've been to.

Pipen,about Nostradamus....no,its not a top Priest album for me however,I do like half the album....I've just never said so because I wanted a text book heavy metal album...I am not very fond of half of Nostradamus,but thats just how my ears and style heard 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. |

J.D. Diamond: I agree whit you in almost everything you say about Priest, but I do like Nostradamus and if I remember it correctly you don't. :)
Saxon is one of my top favorite band also and they still deliver both live and in the studio, Maiden is also great band but since No Prayer they haven't came out with a decent song imo. But up till then they are pretty solid, even if the downfall begins whit No Prayer that one at least have moments and I rate that album to be an 3 out of 5 at least.
But my nr. 2 band is definitely not HammerFall, Accept is! Wolfs guitar playing and Udos unique voice on top of that is just magic to me!
And even though I hated the fact that they where starting up again without Udo they certainly proved me wrong in the end, Mark does an incredible job. I usually have a hard time to accept change of a lead singer in a band but this was an exception that broke the rule, haha!
Judas Priest has and will probably always be nr. 1 to me, Accept is the the only band so far that I almost like equally much but Priests strength is that they can deliver with variation from Sad Wings to Painkiller, Accept is more of an one way road so to say. But which band who comes third changes from day to day, week to week and so on. :)
ONE BAND TO RULE THEM ALL

Al may have been referring to the fact that KK auditioned for the band in 1969 and wasn't very good - even KK has admitted that. He only knew 5 or 6 chords and didn't get the job. KK and Ian formed a trio called Freight. When the original JP fell apart, Al heard Freight rehearsing and was impressed with KK's progression and joined their band, asking them to use the name Judas Priest.

For me to say Maiden hasnt been releasing quality metal is just my opinion,my comment was based on how many others think otherwise but even in that so what,it doesnt mean anything...
The same way I think Saxon (1995-2014) are my second fav band and how I say Hammerfall is #3 all time best HN band.....not very many "at all" feel that way.....not hardly many at all so its the same srnario. If you do take away Priest,Maiden and Saxon Hammerfall rulz!

Not saying YOU think this way but I think fans "AKA hellrider" who look at Priest albums before 1990 as incomplete or invalid because they are not as heavy as 1990's Painkiller are really not fans of the band,but simply Painkiller fans.
And if you think Maiden has been releasing quality metal then kudos to you. But you are definately in a class of very very little who think they have.Good for you.

| Painkiller is like the Everest of their catalouge, I doubt if the new cd will top it. Not saying it won't.......I would be super happy if it did. From what they have released so far they're heading in the right direction.... getting that swagger back. Maybe they are following Maiden's lead and starting to produce more consistant metal.....I think that is what everyone is wanting. |

I think what you're trying to say is .....it's got the "Painkiller swagger"...lol...and I'm sure when Painkiller came out in 1990 way more people liked than not. No split reaction like your saying. Sure ....some didn't like it....but I'll say the majority of fans did...and I'll bet the majority of fans want this new album to be way more heavy tan the last two.

Defenders 6 years earlier some fans were complaining it wasnt as good as SFV "Youve got another thing comin'....but now 30 years after DOTF its hearald as an all time classic.
I think years from now this lp will be deemed a classic. Nope,havent heard all of it no,but the feeling is so strong I just know this lp will KICK ASS!

Ok cool. I had no clue. I never really payed attention to anything Priest before Rob, KK, and Glenn. I knew of Al Atkins but none of the others and didn't know anything about any riffs between any of them. I was going to go see Al Atkins last year in Pittsburgh but passed. Now I'm glad I did.

Lord Of Texas nice to see a post from you...
Yeah I think the track is cool too,for me every track doesn't have to be rocket science man. First listen reminded me of hints of Hell Patrol,and looking around online there are tons of other comments saying the exact same thing.
However for me personally I actually prefer Redeemer Of Souls,but still like Hell Patrol of course.Perhaps the negative comments,besides the few who actually don't like the track,are individuals who have too high of expectations of what they wanted to hear....
Perhaps management could of released a much more agressive track from the album to start with and that would of got more positive feedback...
In 1990 if they would of released the song Hell
first as a single/video instead of the song Painkiller,then the response would of been similar.... |
