Gerard Way doesn’t consider Judas Priest metal. Oh no, he didn’t!
Gerard Way has been flapping his gums about the new MCR album which is due to be with us in 2010. In amongst jabbering on about the band’s new album, he mentioned that some of the album has been inspired by Judas Priest. OK, now you’ve got our attention (not that we believe it for a second, obviously).
He then goes on to tell spinnermusic.co.uk: “Judas Priest is considered metal, but it’s great rock n roll. (New MCR songs have) nothing to do with that era of metal, the hair rock, but then having everything to do with like the birth of power-anthem metal.”
Judas Priest aren’t metal, they’re great rock and roll. Really? Judas Priest aren’t metal? Are you for real, douchebag?
(I'd like to add, since when did MCR have anything to do with rock n roll, let alone metal?)

Thought I'd take a moment, having listened to the new offerings by 'Freeze & his project, and by 'Meltdown & his project: Gotta tell ya gentlemen, both are distinctly different styles as are the folks composing & playing. 'Meltdown ... you have a way of bringing an Axe to life. Combined with Rick's vox expression, and the rest, it sounds fantastic! 'Freeze, You have a unique quality in interpretation. I enjoy the contrasting combination of styles about your project! So much creative talent in the membership here ...

Uncle Guido, I went ahead and downloaded IE8, since we were already using 7. Error still persisted but have decided to send reports. If they continue, I'll load Firefox.

Sorry but sad news;
Monday, September 28th, 2009
We at FRIENDSOFGUNGI.com are sad to announce that Gordon "Gungi" Paterson passed away today after a 3 year battle with cancer. With degrees of sadness, with a smile that comes automatically to our faces whenever we think of him, and with relief that his long suffering has finally ended, we want to thank everyone that has come to this site, that has passed on their well wishes and good vibes and that has contributed so greatly to his battle and to the future of his surviving family.
The feelings that have been expressed through the guestbook pages, the emails & phone calls, the postings online at various sites all made such a huge difference to gungi during his fight - it gave him strength through encouragement and kept him going as long as he could - and he definitely takes all of those thoughts and feelings with him.. Gungi and his family always dedicated themselves to the holistic and spiritual world - he was in touch and tune with the earth, the sky - the universe as a whole. According to Gungi's wishes there will be no singular memorial with family and friends in seattle - as he and Bridget felt that they went through all of this over the past couple of months - the whole summer has been a wake / rememberance where Gungi was able to take phone calls, emails, postings, etc.. and we were all able to celebrate his life with him.
Instead of a singular memorial, gungi will be cremated and his ashes will be spread over St. Andrews in Scotland - his wishes were to be back in his beloved Scotland where his family is from.
We will take some time and will figure out a good place and time where as to have a fitting tribute / memorial to the man that we all love and respect. We will post it and distribute it as soon as we can.
As we did all through this process we continue to encourage people to write into the site, to post their feelings in the guest book - most of all to please make contributions to the paypal account of the FRIENDSOFGUNGI.com website because the family is in need now more than ever; we will also continue to process the sale of pieces of equipment and memorabilia that Gungi wanted to sell to raise funds for the family, etc..
Thank you again for everything that everyone has done - we are all thinking about him today and we all should keep thinking about him and what he meant to all of us. Raymond Amico friendsofgungi.com

Sunday, while I was sitting down a slight bluff near the bay (out of view of my Jeep) someone busted the passenger side window. I didn't notice until I was approaching 3 / 4 hours later. As I approached it looked like I may have left the window open - not good as I had left my wallet just inside in the console
Fortunately for me it is black and blended well enough for anyone in a hurry to overlook. Still, stupid move on my part. After some inspection nothing appeared to be missing, the contents of the glove box weren't even touched, hmmm?
Last evening, driving to pick up some dinner, I reached to toss some trash into the cheetah print trash pouch that used to dangle from the gear shift ... it wasn't there?!?! (one of those things you don't notice 'til it's gone 'cause it's of little importance) Can you imagine the look on the idiots' faces when they got further away and decided to check the contents of their heist?!
Almost included the cost of frivolous lawsuits but I believe a cap is in place with regard to how much a claimant is entitled? It's still an issue for physicians as insurance costs mount for them as well.
Also, is the ever present unscrupulous caregiver / insurance / pharmiceutical co men nage a trois - lol, and the predetorial nature in the way some patients' fraudulently file claims, making it more difficult for the legitimate claimant and physician to have an affordable relationship.
All these issues have been mentioned before. There will likely be no perfect healthcare system until eveyone accepts how they factor in the equation. By and large the system, as I see it anyway, attempts to level the field for all concerned. Yes, even me the middle guy. By this age I am prolly not gonna encounter any major illness. By the time I do, I will be old enough to file for medicare. Any unforseen issues, well, I should have planned well in advance for those when I was earning a decent living, right? ; )
Think that's all I have on the subject.
If you'd like to take a look at the links to HIPPA / COBRA
Any healthcare changes will come down to budget amendments. Since 2001 there have been many catestrophic events that have redirected dollars: armed conflict, hurricane(s), etc. Until the coffers are restored via tax increases, and the insurance companies and medical supply companies capping costs / wages, it will be a long road to reform.

HB, If by work you mean there is a slight chance they'll vote to put it to a vote after mid-term elections in November - lol It's still very frustrating. Admittedly, healthcare is a good stumping issue, and if handled correctly will light enough fires to get constituents on the phone; or better yet, use the very text we (here in the US) blog with, copy and paste and put in an email to representatives. One letter can be copied any number of times ...
After back reading several more times this morning though my response is gonna take a little longer. Having grown up an Army brat, I was covered 'til 23 (coverage has changed significantly for dependents since then). Working for two large global corporations well into my thirties, I also had the luxury of splitting the cost of benefits with my employers at an extremely generous rate (mid-eighties - late-nineties). Now have no coverage and fall well in the middle category WAI mentioned to much to receive govt assistance, too little to afford private ...
I do remember in between jobs in the nineties there being enacted HIPPA / COBRA for those with coverage and per-existing conditions. I want to research those again to see if there is a loophole that might help 'Freeze before I comment on that; although, I'm sure having the fire and determination he has, I'm sure he's left no stone unturned in this regard. I hope you don't mind my looking again, though : )

Umm...egoic?? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Bev. You know I cannot resist!! Interesting thoughts, though. As a matter of physics, I suppose we ARE actually all "connected". Had not actually considered that angle. Also interesting that you would reference Maslow. Needs are basic in everyone, just at varying levels. I suppose becoming self-aware helps in that one will realize that there is more to one's life than self alone.
For me, the whole thing boils down to mind and the power thereof. I mean, scientists are only beginning to explore the vast powers of the mind. They have only scratched the surface of what we are capable of doing with our minds. The fact is, there is tremendous power there. I have discussed this often.
Thought and character are one, and as character can only manifest itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life can always be found to be harmoniously related to his INNER state. Now, this does not mean that a certain circumstance is an indication of entire character but, by and large, circumstance is intimately connected with some vital thought element within us. Basically, everyone is where he is by the law of his being.

It is true, we are all connected, scientifically and spiritually. There is no new matter. There are only new combinations of the same matter from which the universe was created. So logically we are connected, similar. As spiritual beings we are also connected. Life's journey involves moving through the stages of ego (think Maslow's Hierarchy) to a higher self-awareness. Being the optimist I can be at times I tend to believe we go a little further.
Once the ego is quelled we can then move toward those in our midst not unlike how we were living in an egoic state. In that regard we very much connect to one another, and ultimately the life energy that sustains us.
When we shut ourselves off from any interaction or closeness with another what then?

I love Agassi. I was in Vegas when they closed that sports bar next to the MGM where they had a lot of his stuff (shirts, etc...what what the name of that place Freeze?).

Good evening from my side of the world Bev, and anyone else who is around!
Vocalist Klaus Meine of German hard rock legends SCORPIONS has issued the following update:
"Dear fans, the last few months on the road just flew by — and as always, it was fantastic and exciting to play for you. But now we are back in our studio in Hannover with our Swedish producers Mikael 'Nord' [Andersson] and Martin Hansen [the team behind THE RASMUS' "Dead Letters" CD] to work on our new album. We have a lot of new songs and are very much looking forward to the creative time ahead of us. Hopefully, when this time comes to an end, we will be able to present another awesome album that rocks and finds a place in your heart. If everything goes as planned, our new album will be released to the public spring of 2010.
"There's more: This October, the world wide release of our new DVD, 'Amazonia –Life in the Jungle!' will be heading your way."
Added guitarist Rudolf Schenker: "It is such a great feeling to be back in the studio and creating something new and genuine. As early as the first recording day with my bandmates, I realized pure creativity is in the air. I am sure that our new album will surprise all our fans. We are up to something big, so let your curiosity get the best of you!"
Stated guitarist Matthias Jabs: "Now that our 'Humanity World Tour' is over and we toured the world twice very successfully, it is time to record new songs, to write new songs — songs that come from the heart and relate to our fans' emotions around the world. I am very excited about recording our new album with lots of energy and feeling. As always though, the bar is set very high, especially as I like to measure it with our albums 'Blackout' and 'Love at First Sting'."
SCORPIONS recently extended their record deal with Ariola, which is part of the international media conglomerate Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
The band's latest CD, "Humanity - Hour 1", was produced by James Michael and co-produced by songwriter/producer Desmond Child, who has worked with such high-profile pop/rock artists as AEROSMITH, BON JOVI, ALICE COOPER, KISS, RICKY MARTIN, CHER, MICHAEL BOLTON and BONNIE TYLER.
The Best Buy edition of "Humanity - Hour 1" includes an exclusive track, "Cold". "Cold" was previously included on the Japanese pressing of the CD along with another bonus cut, a radio edit of "Love Will Keep Us Alive".
Rudolf Schenker will release his official German-language autobiography, "Rock Your Life", in Germany on October 14. An English-language version is also planned. More details will be revealed soon.
An 18-minute interview with SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine conducted by the band's webmaster Wolfgang Strauß on January 10, 2009 in Cologne, Germany can be viewed below.
All this talk about bulbs reminded me I need to change a tail light that can't seem to make up it's mind whether it's burnt out or still has some life left in it - lol Think I'll go ahead and change both. Fortunately, all I have to dismantle are the tail light covers nowhere near being attached to the fender! Thank the Jeep engineers ... simple minds think alike - lol That's why I love the old Jeeps ... not a lot of components and easy to fix! ; )
September would be a projected number? I s'pose it's minor to err in that regard; unless it's rental forcast number! Good that it was better then last month! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Wednesday, September 02, 2009 7:33:49 AM)

Craig bought this DVD and told me it was a new Def Leppard show (yes, I still dig Def Leppard lol)
So anyways, he puts it on and there's this chick singing not Joe Elliot.. I look up and see that what he did not mention to me that the new Def Leppard show was WITH Taylor Swift. At first I choked on my coffee and then as the night wore on, Idk, maybe it was the flu meds, maybe it was the ungodly hour that it somehow got to.. I started getting into the whole show.
It.. didn't sound too bad.. and I watched it again this morning.
Oh, the shame!
Although, there was something really weird about Joe Elliot singing "he's the reason for the tears on my guitar" and "I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess"
Guess he really is in touch with his feminine side after all lol.

It is sad. You recall in the past when members have vented publicly about why there is no moderation. We all have the tools at our disposal to ignore, etc., some use them, with more frequency than others. These tools work only when they are used. I have noticed Admin visits more regularly. And that makes me feel better about visiting more regularly myself. I think you are one of many members that can post without shame. I'm sure others will agree. Now with me and some of my tendencies ... that's a different story - lol ; )
Bev and Where, you are both right. I guess the thing is, I feel sadness in that HE had to remind us of that. Don't we all know that?? Should not we all act accordingly? Why is it that grown people degenerate into such beings in a public place and disgrace themsleves, the Band and all those that would associate ? I may sound harsh but please, please understand that I grieve for this family. . . not any one person in particular. At my age, shame is a very difficult emotion to accept.
Edited at: Thursday, August 27, 2009 9:25:44 AM Edited at: Thursday, August 27, 2009 9:26:52 AM
I interpret the post by Admin this morning as more of a way to let folks know that the rules apply to everyone and that there is no special treatment, no one is above having either a message or an account banned. I could be wrong, been that before - LOL
Well now, I have not posted in a while but I have been lurking. I have to admit, I am more than a little sad at what I have read this morning. Murray actually feels the need to come here and say that??? Sad, indeed.
I have been here for years and yet I am not the "longest" surviving member. I have engaged in silliness, acted inappropriately and even been fool enough to battle with morons (perceived or otherwise) during my tenure but I do not recall a time where Murray actually had to remind everyone that the rules of even the most basic decency still apply. Funny but, we really get away with a lot around here and it is astonishing that we have allowed ourselves (yes, I said we) to degenerate to such a level that the webmaster himself feels he needs to step in and act.
I am not sure exactly what transpired and, in all honesty, I do not need to know. The result is all that matters. Good friends gone. Good members leaving. More idiots coming and chaos reigning. And through it all, a small group continues to try, so desperately, to keep this place alive and healthy. Lord knows I have tried...and tried..and TRIED. I just cannot get my old mind around this. Perhaps some more time away? I don't know. I love my friends here. I even have a certain fondness for those that are not so friendly to me. All part of what makes us a family. I still believe that. I do. We are family. A family in turmoil to be sure.

(few)...anyways all the guys were super, K.K. and Glenn thought it was so cool that i took to the record like i did and thanked me for my dedication for that and the 30 some years i've been a fan. Ian laughed and jokingly said you listened a whole year and survived, but thought it was so cool....Scott thanked me for my dedication to the band, and Rob just sat and talked about doing the Nostradamus live and the production they want to put into it. He asked me what the first Jp record i bought was, (Sin After Sin), and if this was the first time i saw Priest, of course this was the 6th or 7th time, (military commitments stopped me a few times), and he asked me why i dug the album so much, and basically i tld him, that no other album has been done this way, and that the band told the story very well..the music is great and that i could feel how Nostradamus 'the man' was feeling at a particular moment in his life in the tone of his vocals. i also told him i knew little about Nostradamus and that i could get a picture of what he did and who is was. it also made me do some research to learn more about Nostradamus. He said he had read about me i that mornings paper, (the cleveland plain dealer did a story about the listening, and they also did a follow up that saturday with rob and i's picture in the paper). i told him if it doesn't come to cleveland to at least try and get somewhere reasonable as i have to see it live. he asked what i do for a living, even though it was in the paper, and i also told him about being a 20 year retiree from the military which he thought was very cool and thanked me for dedicared service. He posed for a pic or 2 and thanked me for my love of the album and of the band, and told me to keep listening, and that 'understand the concept of Nostradamus! i t was an experience i will NEVER forget! don't think i wasn't a little excited and nervous because i was, but i also knew i was meeting some peopkle who have been in my life for 30+ years, so it wasn't bad at all. they all made me feel just like i've known them for years.....anyother question, don't hesitate to ask, i LOVE talking Priest!

You have honestly grown to be an incarnation of immortality.
But remember, while you're in this world you will feel its pain.
Only when you return to the realm of the immortals will you no longer feel it!

An excerpt from the Miami Tribune interview with Rob: Here's hopin tonight especially the Florida fans can live up to their reputation!!! You're gonna be on the DVD ; ) Cheers!!!
***
Miami New Times: When you decided to [play "British Steel" in its entirety on
the current tour], did you worry that playing one album in order would eliminate
some element of surprise for the audience?
Halford: It's impossible to have a complete surprise now, isn't it?
Unfortunately, that's the way of the world. Everybody's Twittering while they
eat their lunch and while they're sitting in the movie theater, so it's a shame
really. But I also wouldn't deny the excitement that this kind of instant
connection can create. Because you know, no matter how you explain to a fan that
you've seen the pre-show, or seen clips from YouTube or whatever, you can't
really fully understand or experience the true moment until you're there in
person. It's like watching a movie of the Grand Canyon. It's great, but you
cannot understand what it means until you are standing at the rim staring at the
vastness. I think that's true of this particular show. But I agree with you, you
know. When the Internet was going mainstream, we discussed that. Because coming
from that time of our life, there was the excitement of, "Oh, there's a new LP
coming from PRIEST!" You'd put the
vinyl on your turntable, and that was the only way you could experience it. You
couldn't snag it off the Internet or get an illegal download or a video clip. So
there was a mystery of how [a band] would do it onstage. And to a certain
extent, that's gone now. But it's today's world, you have to accept it. It's all
about living in the moment, and the only way you can live in the moment for a
PRIEST show is to come and see us.
Miami New Times: Why did you choose to film your live DVD at the date here in
South Florida? Was it just a scheduling thing?
Halford: It's a combination of a lot of things. We've been coming back and forth
to Florida since the early '80s. We made two or three records in Miami at
Bayshore Sound, which is no longer there. So we spent many years in the Miami
area, especially in Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne, so we have many memories
from South Florida. The fans are crazy down there -- the metal heads go insane.
Miami New Times: Really? You find that South Florida metal audiences in
particular are really that crazy?
Halford: There's just a very special feeling from the Florida metal heads that
we want to capture. So here's a chance for all the Florida metal heads to become
famous, because the cameras will be pointing on them throughout the night, as
well as on the band. We're very excited that we're going to be making this film,
this full show in Hollywood.

While I can almost see where you would maybe feel "ripped", I considered myself lucky last year when I saw only 'Priest in Vegas for the same price as someone who endured the entier MetalMasters lineup - a great lineup btw! But that's just me ; )
PopEvil played a 30 min set, when I saw them in San Antonio / Corpus Christi; Whitesnake played about the same, maybe 45 min if you strip away all the guitar and drum solos (think David was experiencing issues even then (shrug)); 'Priest played from just past 9 until going on 11 ... by my thinking that's 3 times as long as the others, without putting a clock on it!
In every sense, I got my money's worth! I'm sorry you feel ripped. I don't agree is all ; ) [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Secesh1864 from Saturday, August 15, 2009 8:40:29 PM)

How do you figure?
They're playing someting like an hour and fifteen minutes, or so...
I was going to see Whitesnake, and Priest....
Now it seems popweasle is playing almost as long as Priest.
Priest was playing a short set because they're were three bands, and they have time limits on weekday shows at most venues.
Now they have an hour, or so to fill, and they gave it to the suck ass oprening band.
I feel ripped..... Edited at: Saturday, August 15, 2009 8:41:50 PM
Hi guys! I know you're busy and all, what with filming this weekend ... have fun with that! The tour of North America is 38 shows total. Since David took ill on Tuesday, and there are only 6 shows left, do you think you could find time to expand the current set so we get our money's worth? Please! Thanks guys ; )
Flame me if you want, but the guys already play 3 times as long as the opening acts! What more do you want for your money?!
I honestly don't know how they could possibly please every fan request that comes by. For heaven's sake get a grip!!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Secesh1864 from Saturday, August 15, 2009 7:10:39 PM)

They could easily replace Whitesnake with another old school band, or better yet step-up and play a full set.

Jim, I'm sure Nostra isn't the only album you listen to! But like me, there are somethings that just become routine, eh?! Kind of like stopping by JP.com at the same time everyday, etc ; )
And Spa, you've hit on something important as well. We're not all gonna gravitate to the same people. It is out of mutual respect that we welcome newcomers. As they become more involved in the community (such that it is here in the IWeb), we tend to find we either relate better to familiar members, keep our association more social and relate with all, or remain somewhat guarded and keep to ourselves. It is what it is ... even in real life ; )
It is my experience that tells me the one constant and magic of life is change! That being the case, I tend to keep to myself here as I am someone that enjoys tangible relationships. The handful of friends that I've made and maintain to this day, are with folks I've either met, email constantly, or have talked to on the phone. But that just me ... that's who and how I am ; )
So forgive me if I seem a little aloof. I like familarity. I'll warm up to you eventually, or maybe never - lol ... everyone should simply be who they are.

CNN.com reports: Les Paul, whose innovations with the electric guitar and studio technology made him one of the most important figures in recorded music, has died, according to a statement from his publicists. Paul was 94.
Les Paul, whose innovations helped give rise to modern pop music, played guitar into his 90s.
Paul died in White Plains, New York, from complications of severe pneumonia, according to the statement.
Paul was a guitar and electronics mastermind whose creations — such as multitrack recording, tape delay and the solid-body guitar that bears his name, the Gibson Les Paul — helped give rise to modern popular music, including rock 'n' roll.
I thought so too HRMG. Then I remembered Ian having a house in Florida (in that area if memory serves), which had me thinking how comfortable it would be for them to play in a setting so familiar even though it would be the 3rd night out.
I wish I had the cash available to have flown to a venue up north ... But truth be told, the show they played here in Corpus had to be the ultimate hell for them with all the humidity, heat, and it being the last in a string. But they pulled it off! I think they'll be just fine ...

WHITESNAKE Officially Drops Off JUDAS PRIEST Tour - Aug. 12, 2009
WHITESNAKE has released the following statement:
"Unfortunately, last night [August 11] at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, WHITESNAKE had to cut their performance short due to Mr. [David] Coverdale experiencing considerable pain in his vocal cords. He was immediately taken to a specialist for examination. The specialist discovered that David was suffering from severe vocal fold edema and a left vocal fold vascular lesion. He was instructed to cancel all performances for the next two weeks and then undergo a further examination. The doctors told us we were fortunate this was caught at a stage where no apparent permanent damage has been caused. We therefore regretfully have to announce that WHITESNAKE will not be appearing on the remainder of the U.S. tour with JUDAS PRIEST. WHITESNAKE sincerely regrets any disappointment this may cause."
WHITESNAKE and JUDAS PRIEST previously toured together in South America during 2005 to great critical and commercial success and maintain a great friendship.
WHITESNAKE's appearance at U.K.'s Download festival in June coincided with action-packed re-releases of the multi-platinum albums "Slip Of The Tongue", marking its 20th anniversary, and "Slide It In", which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
WHITESNAKE's June 14 show at Download marked the fourth time the band has performed at Donington Park (previous appearances took place in 1981, 1983 and 1990).
Fan-filmed video footage of WHITESNAKE's June 7, 2009 concert at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium can be viewed below.

OK, finally getting around to my review of the show. STILL a bit hoarse from all the yelling but that is just fine..I can type! HAAAA!!!!!!!!
So, I mentioned PopEvil over in their Thread. Enough said about them, except that I remain VERY impressed with the honest and humble attitude they had. As for Whitesnake, it may be a bit unfair of me to try to review their effort as I am a Coverdale fan. I think he has done some amazing things in his career and managed to stay commercially viable even though he has drifted in and out of the music scene on a couple of occasions. He has never really "re-invented" himself..at least not to a noticable degree. He is as he was back in the 70's, a Plant clone that can sing and write very well. He always delivers as far as I am concerned and that is the mark of a true professional. (Granny screams be dammned...HAAAAAA!!!)
Now then, onto the Boys....What can I say?? Judas Priest continue to make it happen and do it the right way..ALL THESE years later! I am glad I had the opportunity to see them twice in less than a month. it was a chance to make a comparison and I was pleasantly surprised. Priest are the Gods. There is NO doubt about it. They are simply amazing. And at their age...I am in awe. Judas Priest sets the standard by which all others are measured. I believe with all my heart.
Glenn and KK are as tight as they have ever been, as far as I can tell. They have been together so long that they just know instinctively. It is a remarkable thing to witness, actually. Just amazing. Ian is such a great guy. He goes to his corner and there he stays. He is in the background doing EXACTLY what he is supposed to do, lay down a foundation with Scott. Those two are great at that. The beat is always dead-on. True professionals.
Rob. Our dear, beloved Rob. I was so happy to see him smiling and enjoying himself. A far cry (I think) from the Vegas show last year at the Palms. He seems genuinely happy. Of course, they are getting near the end of this tour and I can only imagine how badly he must want to get back to that quiet apartment by the ocean! Nonetheless, a brilliant performance! His screams are so cool. Not what they were thirty years ago as far as pitch but OH MAN!! When he lets loose it pierces your skull!!! Love the set list , too. I have NO complaints. They are delivering exactly what they said they would and I do not think they should make ANY changes! It all comes together very nicely.
All in all, a tremendous show. Absolutely incredible. I am SO glad they did this tour at this time. My step-son got to hear some "classic" Priest and THAT is truly special. Would love to catch ONE more show this year but I will settle for the two I did see and say, BRAVO. Well done, indeed. I did not go backstage. I did not get a picture with the Band or hang out by the buses for an autograph but I did get every single dollar's worth of what I spent!! I wonderful evening with THE world's greatest Heavy Metal act....ever,
See ... that fountain of factoids you have access to pays off ; ) Good to read she had a good time! Really hard to believe it's that time already ... school supplies?! ugh
From the many stories that kept occuring to her to tell me yesterday, I take it she had a pretty good time.
This is the one that I and she found really funny. He father and her were at some game place and there was a large game of multiplayer trivia, which allowed four people at a time to play. She was the only kid playing, and the rest were adults. She played six rounds and got high score all six rounds over her adult opponents. She even noticed the last game she played the adult sitting beside her was trying to peek at her answers! HA!!
Well, off in search of school suppplies!

Hi IOF, Neither myself or any other member of the forum (other than the webmaster) can actually speak to whether or not the band actually login. I suspect that since Rob and other members of the band have mentioned the passion demonstrated by, and opinions expressed by, the fans on the Judas Priest website that they in fact do check it out every now and again. Though they are busy, with modern technology being what it is today (access to web via phone), it's my guess they are aware ; ) Keep the faith!

Well, I did think I wasnt good enough for him. Right at the beginning, I told myself it wouldnt work out, but he convinced me it would, that he did like me, and that we could be together. My gut instinct told me it would end in disaster, but I got carried away by my feelings for him. I guess the problem was, I thought I had found the right man for me, that I would spend my life with. He said he felt the same for me,. but somewhere, that all changed. I am ugly, so it wouldnt surprise me, if he just didnt find me attractive, even though he said I was a nice girl. He said he felt the same for me, but obviously not, if he can drop me like a hot plate as soon as this other girl showed up. He'd obviously been carrying a torch for her, and probably got involved with me without getting rid of those feelings. He excused it by saying "she just dissappeared", which is why he tried to make a go of things with me. But obviously, his feelings for me werent that strong, if he could lose them so easily. Ive never felt like this before, its the most painful thing Ive ever felt in my whole life. I feel so horrible. Before I met him, I was content on my own, I didnt think I needed love in my life. Having feelings for him changed all that, and made me realise that love, and feeling that special bond with someone else was something I actually did want. I wish I could go back to when I didnt know these kinds of feelings, but I cant. I now feel like I have a big void in my life, and I feel even emptier than I did before. Its like having something Ive deep down always wanted, being dangled in my face, and having it snatched away just as I reach out to grab it. I wouldnt say I was happy before I met him, but it didnt really bother me that Id always been single. I just feel lost because I dont know what to do, or how to get rid of this pain :(
Thanks Bev. *hugs*

Another way to look at what your intuition was telling you is perhaps not that you were not good enough for him, rather the chemistry simply wasn't there. We're all human.

Also keep in mind what Vail mentioned. Some are meant to and can live happily without being in a relationship.

Well.... the core of the band have been together for some time now. Yeah,they had some changes but it was for the better...
Vocalist Biff Byford and guitarist Paul Quinn are the only 2 members that were on the first Saxon record from 1979..............
Biff Byford,Paul Quinn,Doug Scarratt(guitars) and Nibbs Carter(bass) this group of 4 have been together since 1995
when Doug joined the band replacing Grahm Oliver on guitars. Steve Dawson left the band in 1986 and was replaced
by Paul Johnson on bass. Paul Johnson left in 1988 and was replaced by Nibbs Carter on bass. Nigal Glockler the drummer
joined Saxon in 1982 and was on the 1983 "Power & The Glory" album,and had stayed with the band all the way up
till 1999...he left but came back and has been back since 2005. X guitarist "Grahm Oliver" and X bassist "Steve Dawson"
joined up together and formed the ridiculous outfit called "Oliver & Dawson's Saxon".!!!! What a JOKE!!! They at first were
using the original Saxon logo....and when they did a show ,some people thought that they were going to see the "REAL" Saxon
only to show up and see the "Oliver & Dawson's Saxon" with a shitty vocalist who could not come close to Biff!!! Well,none the less
Biff & the real "Saxon" took them to court and now they can't use the original Saxon font logo.........what a bunch of losers!!!!! LOL!

Interesting thing about stage presence. I am not sure how many of you saw the interview with Bruce Dickenson some time ago where he discussed that? He said (quite accurately) that when you are on stage you MUST be "larger than life". You need to over-exaggerate your movements and "blow yourself up" so that the people WAY in the back can see you too.
There is a lot to that statement. SO many people think the movement on stage is just "bouncing around" and whatnot but there is a method to the madness. If you look at some of the stage shots from the Priest shows you will even see markers taped on the stage floor. ...spots where the guys are supposed to stand. All designed to make the "look", set up picture shots..designate center stage, etc.

Ah yes! The voice of reason! HAAAAAAAAAA! Actually, I do not think the "popularity" would be affected much (outside of the fanbase) because if you look at what passes for "popular" music today, it is the finished "product" that is LEAST important!! From what I see, all you need is a synthesizer on your mic, a pre-recorded drumbeat, a few dancers writhing around behind you and some cheap dance moves and you are a "popular" artist. Hardly much of a MUSICAL product involved at all.

I made Guid go to the Nashville Parthenon, and actually go inside it, as I have seen the original parthenon and have always wanted to see it's half scale replica. This is what the Parthenon looked like before the turks hid artillery in it and lighting struck it and not only blew it up, but burned it all to Hell. Yet the orginal still stands through earthquakes and time as a testament to the superior engineering those that built it.
My main reason to want to see this place was to see the replica of the statue of Athena that originally stood in the middle of the Parthenon. Designed and built by Phedias, it was a huge statue of Athena clad in ivory and gold. How anything that large disappeared from history without a trace except the ancient discriptions of her, is beyond my comprehension.
OK, history class is over! LOL
I was going to try to sit on this thing but there was a big Hook on it's back, and I didn't want to stradle that! HA!!

Now, Guid has told everyone of my quest for Chucks at the mall, here is Guid's Shirne! We spent the same amount of time in this
Store that we spent on ALL my collective Chuck check outs! He talked like my sister in this store! Do I want to get this? Do you think I should get this! Should I get this one, or this one? HA!!! Guitars and tools turn men into complete shopaholics! LMAO!!!
Without a doubt Rob is the signature, quintessential, 'Priest voice!!!
Not that I knew much about anything at the time, but I have to wonder why Scheepers wasn't picked to fill the void while Rob was away ... he would have been my choice without question. Must have had something to do with the direction Metal was taking at the time ... dunno. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Angelic Storm from Wednesday, August 05, 2009 6:39:01 PM)

Oh, I agree with you! Though his high range has definitely suffered with age, I'd actually say his lower register has far more character than it did back when he was in his prime. Ripper is a great metal vocalist, I wont deny him that. But there's a character and soul in Rob's voice which is notably abscent in Ripper's. Though the OP was asking if Rob or Ripper was better for Priest, and even if Rob couldn't be in Priest, I still think Ralf Scheepers would be a better choice for Priest than Ripper! But even he isn't quite as good as the metal god himself! He is getting better though, and maturity is suiting his voice well :)
As for Rob, well, his voice has suffered in some areas due to age, but in other's it is arguably better now than it ever was. He will always be the voice of Judas Priest.

Rob may not hit the clean high screams like he used to but I'll take his other vocals right now over any that Tim does..
Rob's voice is unique and intense compared with the monster growling and tuned down voice of Tim's..
NOSTRADAMUS displays an incredibly soulful vocal and prolific writing style by ROB, a level that Tim just can't reach.. (Quoting Message by Angelic Storm from Wednesday, August 05, 2009 10:07:39 AM)

Halford in his heyday was a lot better than Ripper is now. As for now...Well, Ripper can hit the high notes a lot better than Rob can now! Though like someone else said, Halford has that little something called charisma. Which even though he cant sing as well as the Ripper today, that fact is why Id still take him in Priest today over Ripper. In any case, if I had to have another vocalist singing for Priest other than Rob, I'd rather have Ralf Scheepers than Ripper. But that would take him away from Primal Fear, which I would not want! lol

Yes. Yes, I do my dear!! I believe it was you that mentioned "headbanging" with your son recently? That comment has stuck with me. I recall you saying that you two looked at each other and "smiled"...I really hope something like that happens for us this weekend.

Bev, I am not certain that he CAN be converted but this show represents a sort of milestone for the two of us. When I first met the lad, he was quite young..all of five or six. He had suffered a very tumultuous life and I was a drinker. Needless to say, we did not "hit it off". His mother regained full custody of him only a couple years ago and so it has been an adjustment for me to learn to live with kids in the house again.
Anyway, we have formed a much better relationship in the last year or so and taking him to this show is a very big deal for the two of us. I feel a sort of bonding and the Princess has said that she is noticing it, too. His dad and he are not really close so this is a moment that may well define his future as a man. Not so much in the music but more in what I can show him as far as how a man should be. I am thankful I am not a drunk as I was before. Perhaps he will take from me the things that are most important. Things like responsibility and manners and how to treat a woman..? We'll see.

Good evening, ladies and gents of the Noticeboard. Just got back from Concord a few hours ago. Here is my review of the concert last night.
I got to the Pavilion about an hour before the gates opened, so I was one of the first to go in once they opened. Bought a British Steel shirt that was actually in my size (YES!!!) and the Razor Blade necklace. I placed the pendant in the same ball chain necklace from where my JP dog tag was hanging. Cost me quite a good amount of money, but I was happy regardless.
The actual venue (seats and lawn area) is smaller than the one I went to last year, but it was still breath taking when I saw it. It had a huge roof over most of the seating area. Almost got scared though when I asked a worker of the venue where my seats were at. He told me it was a seat right on KK’s side. Not that I wouldn’t like sitting in front of KK, but the seating chart in the venue’s website said that I was supposed to be on Glenn’s side. I sat down for a bit and looked at the rest of the seats. I asked another worker, and he pointed to a seat on Glenn’s side. That area had the section number that matched the one on my ticket. I was relieved and took my seat. It was a good seat, but I was sitting right in front of a series of subwoofers that were suspended in mid-air by large cables. I got a little nervous for my hearing, so I went to a booth and bought some earplugs (hey, at least I'm being smart about it!! I want my hearing to last). Then I came back, and I watched Popevil perform, instead of doing what I planned on doing during their set (which was to hang out outside the seating area).
Popevil was actually not too bad. They were energetic and moved around quite a bit. The singer is pretty good, but he reminded me too much of a rapper (must have been the huge sunglasses he wore). The bassist was quite a spazz (heheh), moving from one side of the stage to another, playing the bass like there was no tomorrow. Not bad overall…8/10.
Whitesnake came on a few minutes after Popevil finished, and they played some great, hard-rocking jams. David Coverdale had a nice British accent when he talked (not as nice as Rob’s though… ). Doug Aldrich was HOT, ladies!! I love the way he played his Les Paul!! He reminded me of KK, so in random times I yelled “KK!!!!!!!!!!!” on accident (What?!? He had the same cute smile!!).
I’ve read in other reviews that David was struggling to hit the high notes. Last night it didn’t sound as though he was struggling. Sounded really good, to be honest. I also liked the little guitar solo face-off between Doug and the other guitarist (forgot the name) as well as the drum solo done by the drummer (as you can probably tell by now, my knowledge on the band is still almost nil). The keyboardist was cool, too. I yelled and waved at him and he smiled back (ha!!!). Overall, fun and entertaining band…9/10.
Now, on to Judas Priest. Their show last night can be put into two words: FUCKING SPECTACULAR!!!! It was so good to see JP again!!!!!!!!!! Hello again, Metal Gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After Whitesnake were done, the crew was hanging up the curtain that had the scenery of the British Steel factory. Set-up for JP took the longest time, but I’m not complaining, especially when the loud booms and clashes of a steel factory at work began. They were loud enough to make the ground shake!! Against the basic rules of common sense, I removed my earplugs to take in the noise. It felt good. Not only that, but I moved myself a few more seats into the center so I won’t get the full blast of the subwoofers. When the curtain fell during the start of Rapid Fire, I was screaming like a banshee (and my throat hurts like hell right now. Hard to swallow!!). Not only because JP was on stage, but they looked like GIANTS!!! They were so much closer to us than the other bands, so they looked like they were larger than life. Hell, they ARE!!!!!!!!!!! Their music was SO LOUD and perfect and I was headbanging away, and jumping and screaming everytime Glenn came close, trying to get his attention. Those red pants were so nice and tight close (and so were his guitars...and his BUM!!!!! Holy crap!!!! I wanted to pinch it!!!!!!!). Even saw a peek of his tummy when he bent back while playing, AND he got crazy with the tremolo bar during Freewheel Burning like he usually did during Hell Bent for Leather. It was Heaven. One of my favorite moments with him was when we were all singing Living After Midnight, and when Rob sings “I took the city ‘bout 1 am, LOADED!”, Glenn would mouth “What??” and we would all yell “LOADED!” and he would give us a nod of approval. Someone up front was giving him air kisses, and he give an air kiss back to our section. Made my heart skip a beat, even though that kiss was for everyone.
Rob’s voice, I gotta say, was perfect. That’s it. PERFECT!! He nailed those screams so well its hard to believe!!! His singing in Victim of Changes is a great example (THE LAST SCREAM!!), and The Ripper, and Hell Patrol, and Freewheel Burning!! His screams were powerful, controlled, and strong enough to go through one’s body. Couldn’t help but let out a scream of my own after he hit those notes. He’s still got it, ladies and gents!! He’s still got it.
He was also moving everywhere at once, more so than last year. He was playing air guitar and pointing to everyone in the audience, and he was especially active during “You Don’t Have to be Old to be Wise”. Oh! And he was wearing leather pants last night…or maybe they’re chaps…
Ian was awesome, playing his Bass and he was smiling quite a lot. KK was too far from me too see him at all times, but he did great during his Victim of Changes solo (from what I was able to hear). And Scottie…his drumming still makes my ribcage vibrate. He did a great job with Rapid Fire and Freewheel Burning. Loved it when he twirled his drumsticks right in front of him. At the end of the show, he was nice enough to give one of his drumsticks to a wheelchair-bound fan who was at the edge of the first row, and Glenn and Ian followed suit and gave him their picks. Hats off to you, Scottie, Glenn and Ian!! Alas, no guitar pick or drumstick for me. I was a little sad when they bowed and left. Goodbye and thank you so much, Judas Priest!! We’ll meet again!! Someday...hmmmm....Nostra tour, anyone?
Overall, I enjoyed watching Judas Priest immensely. All five members had so much energy and they looked as though they were having a great time as well. Freewheel Burning, Steeler, Living After Midnight, Victim of Changes, The Rage, Metal Gods, Hell Patrol….ah, heck, the whole thing, was fantastic!! LASER SHOW, ANYONE?!? Overall rating: 11/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, yeah!!! I've got PICS!!!! Cameras were allowed into the venue, so I brought mine and took alot of pics. I shall post them later. Until then, hope you all enjoyed this review, because I had a great time. This concert will definitely be one to remember for a long time. It's been great seeing you, Judas Priest!! Come back to California soon!!

Love his position on Prop 8 ... a union of souls is spiritual; although I respect an individuals right to freedom of religion marriage IMO doesn't need be scripted or confined by religious doctrine!
There are days I worship 'Priest, it's a spiritual thing some wouldn't understand ... to each his own - LOL
Love it!!! There is only one MetalGod ... only one Rob!
George Varga of SignOnSanDiego.com recently conducted an interview with JUDAS
PRIEST frontman Rob Halford. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On his Hillcrest, California apartment near Balboa Park, where he goes virtually
unnoticed:
"If I couldn't do that, I think I'd move somewhere else. I don't want to be a
recluse, but I need to be able to do what I want to do without being
'paparazzi-ed' to death. I need to be able to go to Ralphs and push my shopping
cart up and down the aisles. I've never been attracted to the rock star persona.
It's great if people want to think about the fantasy of what a rock star's life
is like, but I don't want that. . . Maybe it's my working-class roots. But it's
important I'm able to do my Ralphs and Ichibans (restaurant visits)."
On performing the "British Steel" album in its entirety at each concert on the
current tour:
"All I remember about making 'British Steel' is that we had a contractual
commitment to the record company to deliver the album on time. We'd just come
out of a mixing session (in the studio) at John Lennon's former residence (at
Tittenhurst Park), where Ringo (Starr) was living. We asked if we could write
and record the album there, and Ringo said: 'Go ahead, do it.'
"The bulk of 'British Steel' was written in that house. We didn't have time to
think. We were literally writing all day and night, and putting those ideas
together as quickly as possible. ... Dare I say, it was the album that brought
the band to a national level in America."
On feeling reconnected with "British Steel" as a whole after nearly a month of
performing the album live at shows:
"I was finding my way around it. Now, I'm immersed in it and it's an amazing
feeling. When you listen to the opening line of the first track, 'Rapid Fire'
— 'Pounding the world like a battering ram' — that just resonates in 2009.
The power of the music and the message in the lyrics absolutely still connects."
On thriving as the only openly gay member of a major metal band:
"I thought that whole Proposition 8 (anti-gay-marriage) thing was a crock.
Because we were hijacked by the religious fanatics, again. Why is marriage, by
definition, a religious experience? I don't think it is. It's a contract between
two people who love each other and want to show the world how they feel about
each other."
On the future:
"If I lost my voice, it would be pointless. Fortunately, my voice is still doing
the business, so I don't even think of retirement. Once you do, you start to
decompress, and you can't do that in rock 'n' roll. You have to keep the fires
burning.
"I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. All I've got is my metal and
I'm happy with it."

You'll probably be a million miles away by the time I post this, but I'll say only a thing or two regarding the conversation between you, MG, and Soy earlier tonight. Grow a spine and leave MG alone!! I'm sick and tired of reading you accusing her of being a "shitdisturber"!! So what if you've been harrassed on this board before? GET OVER IT!!! Its in the past!! You're posting with new sorts of people now!!! The "shitdisturbers" have been gone way before MG came around, and whatever trolls came around during her absence were taken care of. So unless you have "ocular proof" that she's causing havoc with you, please stop this!! Both MG and Soy are good friends of mine, and great people on this Board, so if you are going to call them "shitdisturbers", then go ahead and call me one as well. I mean, look at my post count!!! I can beat DF and HB in a heartbeat!!! I post stupid and vague nonsense all the time, I post too many pics, I quote Spongebob for crying out loud!!! Just don't accuse someone without having a good and justified reason to do so. It's downright immature and out of character, especially for you, being a long-time member.

What happened to the person who ran "Judas Priest INFO Pages" - that site was GREAT!!!!
He is very charismatic, in public posts. Be that as it may, JD, I and some others had distinctly different experience with the man. Defend him if you will. Based on the email I received, and his past behavior, he is very capable of playing just these kinds of games. The term crucified is one he used, not me. He is one member I would definitely like to meet in person. I look forward to that oppotunity.
You're right. Everyone deserves to post here. And we are all equal and respected as fans, united. No one single member set higher above the rest.
Darryn is a good guy,and has every right to come back here and post.No "tricks"....no "traps"...no "head games". If he was to return here,I would personally "defend" him from any "head games" attempeted towards him.I don't think that it is him who had taken on my "monacar"...ect... it was somebody but I really don't think that it was Darryn. Some of us...even "I" has said some pretty outlandish things on this site in the past,but we are all human.We all deserve a second chance.Darryn has done nothing to deserve a forever "permanent" crucifixtion if you will.
If he doe not have time for this place,that is his own business but I want to make it clear to him if he ever clicks onto this site and reads this....Winnipeg Warrior...your presence here is indeed deeply missed and if "I" am a part of the reason you will never post here again,then I am sorry for whatever reasons you may of had/or still have. None the less,I do wish you would return here and join in with the rest of us,I'll always have your back and won't sell you out. If not,then still I wish you the very best of luck and it was awsome to once have you on this site man,it really was.

Oh, absolutely Bev! How about the parent that was "never there"? The parent that chose drugs or alcohol and divorced the spouse to pursue a life of decadence? Sure.

One must overcome one's inate sense of self and think of the child. A most arduous prospect, I'm afraid. Far too easy to try to live vicariously through an offspriing.
I realize it is not a black and white issue. Each child is different and really the only reason I have spoke up is because I care about JD and his struggle. Clearly, it is of great importance to him, as he has been posting about it now on a regular basis. I feel for him. I know with what he is dealing. The Princess has many of the same problems with her two boys. I see the pain. The difficulties. It is hard. Most all of you know that I have a daughter but she is grown and has her own family. I do not think I could do what she does with those young boys. My patience is just not that strong.

Yeah, JD. Made me nervous at first so I became a buffer not a barrier between he and our son. Dad is a hardworking guy, don't get me wrong. Like many (myself included) he grew up in weird unstable environment. I think it's been hard for Dad to keep quiet at times, thinking son should be doing more.

1). No, I don't have a job right now... I'm in college now and living off Federal Student Aid... slaughter me if you wish...
2). HOWEVER!!! I did have a summer job last year...which was working at an amusement park called Knott's Berry Farm...operating kiddie rides...
While it was fun operating the control panel of several rides, the hours were a bit exhausting (12 hrs a day, six days a week), but at least I decided to stay and give it a go for the season, unlike other trainees who would walk out after only half a day's worth of work. All the rides were outdoors, so I was pretty much washing my work uniform everyday because I would sweat so much. Had to quit though, since this amusement park was in one region in the state and my college is 500 miles away. Still, it felt good getting that envelope from the Payroll office every Friday and looking at what was achieved in the long run: money, of course! For food and other small necessities during the school year.
I know I'll probably sound like a hypocrite, but I think the problem with my generation is that most imagine a job as having something to do with being in an office or something else less laborous, which is why many of us are in college in the first place, along with making parents proud. We're a bunch of softies, in other words.
As far as it is possible, while my son is in school, he is focusing on grades so he can get whatever job he wants after he graduates. Having said that, I think he's a pretty well balanced kid. He still does chores to earn allowance. He's not old enough to get a job, legally. The past couple of years he's done community service at the aquarium or humane society. It looks good on a college application. Until he is legally permitted to work, he earns extra cash working with his Dad, who is a sailboat rigger and sailing instructor. They sometimes work together on the two rental properties we own. I don't think Harley would work for him if he was scared of him. Of course, I've never told him the story of how he got pissed at his oldest son, Harley's step-brother, and, because he forgot to ask his Dad they were out of milk his Dad made him walk a couple miles to the 7/11 in the snow at 11:00 pm to get it ... eldest was 7 years old at the time. I think that's plain stupid, and he must have come home drunk to make his kid do that ... stupid, if you ask me. Thank goodness he has evolved a little as a parent ; )

I remember nearly chipped teeth too. Think the newer they were, the chewier they were. It was only after they'd been on the shelf a while that they got hard.
You know I chopped down on one of those things when I was a kid and my teeth stuck to it and it took about 5 minutes to pry it out of my mouth! I think, pretty sure, that is the last time I ever ate one of those. I was in a kid panic!

I remember when the space shuttle exploded. They enterupted my soaps to broadcast it and I was just sitting there thinking, big deal, another launch, and within seconds it was all over.

This gives them an idea of the right image to uphold when starting a "METAL BAND". Hats,baggy pants,shorts..ect....is just plain right out what is known as "Tunnel Hat".
I am 100% against the "Tunnel Hat" image of so-called "metal bands" if thats what they call themselves. Dress what ever the hell they want outside of the "band"...but when
onstage,in magazine photos,in CD booklets....where ever the band is promoted..then yes they should have a metal image, just like Judas Priest does. This is very important for metal.

I was talking about that one question in general but yes I do own several books and have read them all, but while I can remember the general jist of events if I need dates to confirm, of course I have to look them up, otherwise it would take reading these books in almost an obsessive fashion over and over for which I just don't have the energy for.

The Right-Left Political Matrix
Posted 2/24/2009 12:00:00 AM
The Political Left Believes:
-That the state knows better than its citizens what is in their best interests;
-In the primacy of the collective over the individual;
-That individual human lives can, and if necessary, must, be sacrificed for the “greater good” as defined by the state;
-That equality is more important than freedom (and that in the prologue to the perfect state, some individuals will be more equal than others);
-That political freedom is a myth, that law is useful only in so far as it advances the interests of the state, that private property is theft, and that public ownership of the means of production is the only way to ensure economic prosperity and equality for all;
-That the only freedom worthy of pursuit (by the state) is the freedom from physical wants for every citizen;
-That in the pursuit of economic progress (as defined by the state), the state is justified in using any measure to attain its goals (whatever its impact on individual welfare or individual lives);
-That the state should actively intervene in all spheres of life in pursuit of state-determined social and economic goals;
-That all economic and political activity should be controlled by the state;
-That social and environmental factors are the prime determinants of individual behavior;
-That truth and morality never were and can never be absolute, except in so far and for so long as they serve the interests of the state; otherwise, they are infinitely malleable;
-That the state is better suited to allocating scarce resources than the free market, including making decisions as to aggregate production and consumption and the setting of prices and wages;
-That the state has the first claim to its citizens’ income and wealth (i.e. what’s yours is theirs);
-That money (in private hands) is the root of all evil;
-That radical, revolutionary and, if necessary, brutally violent change is often the only way to transition from one political, social and/or economic system to another.
The Political Right Believes:
-That individuals can be trusted to act in their own best interests;
-That the individual is, and individual rights are, the cornerstone of civilized society;
-That every human life has value and merits equal protection under the law;
-That the measure of a civilized society is the degree of freedom accorded every individual within it;
-That political and economic freedom are predicated on the rule of law and the right to private property;
-That individual freedoms must include freedom of speech and expression (including freedom of the press), religion, assembly and mobility;
-That the surest path to economic progress is freedom of opportunity and the right of individuals to capture the rewards flowing from the risks they have taken;
-That pro-active discrimination by the state is rarely, if ever, justified in the interests of social and economic justice, however defined;
-That the best government is that which governs least;
-That individuals are accountable for their own actions;
-That truth has an objective basis and that moral principles are absolute;
-That, in most circumstances, the free market is the best mechanism for allocating scarce resources;
-That your income and wealth belong to you and that you are the best judge of how they should be invested or spent (i.e. what’s yours is yours);
-That profit is the just reward for economically and socially beneficial behavior;
-That social, political and economic change is best undertaken incrementally.

My wife and I were sitting at our table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunk lady swinging her drink as she sat alone at a table nearby.
My wife asked, "Do you know her?"
"Yes" I signed, "She's my old girlfriend. I heard she took to drinking after we split up all those years ago. I hear she hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long!!!"
... and then the fight started
My wife and I were watching "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" while we were in bed.
I turned to her and asked, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No" she answered.
Then I said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time and said, "Yes!"

That sounds like what a soccer game consists of here; although, I've driven past our practice field, there are cars parked all along the street. It looks as though there are at least 4 teams on the field. Does soccer/football have special teams like football/gridiron?
here, tuba rentals include 2 instruments, with one mouth piece, so the student can bring one to school, and use one at home. if my kid did that perhaps she would not be unable to find the thing in her pigsty (room)
here, high school football is not the same as there, no one goes, and I dont think there is a band. some schools have cheerleaders, but the crowd consists of parents, teachers and the players girlfriends, if they are realy dedicated.

Necro, hope your son is doing better. Quick funny for you ... Once, when my sis was riding her harley to work (rookie at a fire station) she got clipped by some lady, broke a mirror and her pinky was all. When she opened her locker at the station, the next day, she found a pair of training wheels! LOL
It's my final semester in school, which includes one final practicum. I have taken on the task of writing a grant to acquire new sousaphones for the band program at the high school my son attends. I have my work cut out for me as they need 6 new horns, each costing $5,400.
The current equipment (sousaphones) was manufactured in the 1930(s), kept in a warehouse somewhere until they were purchased by the district and issued to the school when it opened in the '50(s). Though they are close to 60 years old, they've only been used 40 years. These horns are used heavily during marching season and the district has not issued practice skins to protect them from normal wear & tear. The equipment now looks like plumbing that has been exposed to the elements, and the horns are in the shop for repairs after each event. I believe the cost of repairs for 6 each time is $800. The band is 150+ members, bringing home 109 first place awards in their most recent event. Earlier in the season they played at an Area competition at the Alamodome - the talent is there. My questions is: Is it common for schools to use equipment this old? I know as individuals it is possible. But in a program like this? Would enjoy reading any input.

Jealousy is a difficult beast to tame, sometimes born from insecurity, sometimes a control issue. None of us is immune to it. It's how we deal with it that makes the difference. I have also written .. a long time ago, I had my chance. There is no reason for me to be jealous of anyone. So that issue is moot. It's only recently that I am comfortable writing to KK, and that is usually through Jari. It's not anything personal, usually about something another member has brought up, etc. lol
I agree. This board is about "our" band, the whole of the band ... all years ... all members, good, bad, etc.
Bev? Why would we EVER hold something like that against you? The bottom line is your friend was married to Ian, they got on just fine for some time and she has a beautiful daughter. So what, it may not have turned out to be the best match for her or him. That kind of stuff happens all the time. Myself, I was only marriend 6 years to my X, but look at what I gained! I thought I would never have children but Flora opened me up to a life of love and peace I never knew of!
Anyone who would hold that against you is patently insane, just like any member of this board being jealous of another member for having a relationship with band members or etc....... That whole line of thought is just not right. We should all be here sharing our experiences, as much as we feel comfortable, and just talking and having a great time!
That is what this board is for! For Fans of "Our" Band!

That they don't believe I am a fan, because I am good friends with the woman that married Ian after Sue. Lots of hardcore Halford fans may see this as an afront, maybe not. Some may know more than I do about the years I missed while my friend lived in England. She had her own group of friends. I only heard from her on holidays, etc. So I am serious when I say, I don't know anything and am really another fan like the rest of you. She is still very guarded about those years, refuses to talk to anyone, more out of concern for her daughter's privacy than anything.
So I hope we all can start fresh with that understanding. I am here to contribute my small bit of politeness, pride, and protection. And in return try to learn from you all, fill in the gaps that the years that passed have left gaping.
Spa, It's the business aspect that fascinates me. Tish (my friend) and I had planned to co-own an image consulting business. Then she moved to Phoenix, and the rest is history. I'll leave the discussion again, unless I have something I think can be considered an answer ... LOL

I like Johnny B Goode; still think Solar Angels would have done well in the movie too.
And, your right, the band should have been able to pre-screen before making a decision. Wonder why that didn't happen? hmmm? Not a did at management either. There must have been some logic behind it.
Come on over to the confessional and I'll tell you, and anyone else reading, why ... (leave the whip here - lol) ... don't worry, I won't go "bev" on you!!!

She was not entitled to what she claimed she was entitled. That I will defend staunchly.

I will, in the near future, try to locate a drummer to do the remaining songs which are the more difficult songs for the drums. I will be sending this to freeze tomorrow, monday 2/23. There are also 2 more that Metallark wants to redo the vocals on and I will send those as soon as they are done.

Personally, I wish whomever does these sorts of things would leave this site alone.
Not trying to stir things up for anyone ... It's not like Murray, or anyone else involved in keeping this site running, is paid to do this job; nor do we pay for membership here.
I know I have been an annoyance to him in the past, bothering him over the smallest thing. But admin at this site has always come through. Because he has his own business my guess is it only means it might take a little longer to get to the issue. But I'm confident that he responds efficiently when he is made aware of issues.
Let's continue to do our part, too: keep current security updates, scan regularly, report issues, be patient.
I'm sure there is a way to extract without further damage to the environment. I"m sure someone is researching. I wonder if there is a way to redirect back into the earth, instead of into the atmosphere without accelerating tectonic activity? hm?
from memory, have never done this, but it sounds good
take half cup of corn kernals
quarter cup each of diced red pepers and red onions
1 clove garlic
saute onions till soft, add corn and pepers, saute for 2 minutes
take 2 sheets of parchment paper, use own judgment for size, see directions
fold each sheet in half. in the center of the half sheet spoon half the corn mixture. place filet on top, season with Salt and white peper.
splash of white wine on top (probably before salt)
fold paper over, and seal the seams with multiple folds
bake at 350 for 15 minutes, serve sealed, and alow the guest to open for a different presentation. or open and replate for convenience. seal should be tight, and fish and vegies steam together.
if that fails, find a halibut recipit and substitute talapia

He's been married 3 times. I should have listened to him in the beginning, neither here nor there now.
I am worth a much better quality of life. The only way to get it, is to get it myself. With the help of a few friends along the way, and a strong personal committment to self, I have endured. The men that I have had the distinct honor of coming to know on this board are part of what has kept my faith in men alive, and part of the reason I stuck it out. Spouse and I are not close, in the partner dept., that part is dead and gone some 5 years now. After last night, I am hoping that when he moves into the townhouse nextdoor, we can all be civil, if for not other reason than to see our son successfully through school. Then I will be moving to a different state with only what I brought into this relationship.

Better said, the COULD only re-release if it were in their contract to do so.
My comments were on the original band-endorsed compilations, NOT the remasters. I really have little doubt that, as Phantom said, the originally endorsed albums were also remastered and fully endorsed by the band themselves as such a process would involve re-mixing and digitizing. It would also not be any stretch of the imagination that lesser-labels would hook onto the latest trend in re-issuing and re-mastering compilation albums based on the offical releases.
Don't know who else heard it, but Eddie Trunk went on and on in a recent show about this very common trend nowadays. Needless to say, the majority of his comments were negative as he felt (as do I) that it is all label / $ oriented.

Good to point out especially because the "Insight" series was HORRIBLE! Sad thing is that they trusted Gull. I have plenty of interviews where they say that they are thankful for them and their support in getting their music out to the masses. Therefore the "Best Of" was certainly endorsed by the band AT ONE TIME. It is just the politics that came AFTER that made thing go south. Sad Wings (and Rocka Rolla, if I am not mistaken...no album in front of me) was a GULL release, after all. They didn't really catch on until CBS+ took them.
Common to most musicians, I suppose. Learning curve. Thank strat for the Metal God label.

I went to the grammy site, about 45 minutes to showtime (by my clock anyway). Once there I went to the "list of nominees".

Yeah, right. Then reading an article about Grammys blunders, or something-or-other, there in black and white was a comment about awards Grammy would not live down, including awarding JethroTull the first HardRock/Metal award, and MilliVanillie best new artist - LOL Then the show starts! WooHoo!!! U2 finishes their number and the first presenter is announced .... WHITNEY HOUSTON!!!!! 3 times during her "speech" I remember saying, "Have another drink, Whitney. Just shutup and present the award" She couldn't just announce the winner, could she. No. She had to acknowledge Clive, her Daddy, Davis! Mara, what kind of control does this wee little man really weild in the grand scheme of things. I think I wanna sit next to him at the next event ... HA! The winner in the category Whitney presented was Jennifer Hudson?! Al Green was also in that category. Clearly it was a sympathy honor. Following that presentation, during the next commercial, I went back to check the list, and was sooooooo disappointed. I mean really. If yo uoneed to post the winners in advance for the press, use a secure password page. Idiots! I went to bed.

Strat, you have a point. Playing devil's advocate here: If the US is not more careful on the global playing field, not only with countries begin implementing stricter trade rules, the Aisian countries that own our debt may call in some notes. Another depression is looming. Yeah, we are quick to rush to military aid but that aid carries with it a cost for protection (i.e., open trade agreements). There is a lot to consider with respect to foreign relations. Definitely not a one size fits all, by any stretch.
Probably cos I'm partyin' with my friends every night.. Haha
And having band practice every Friday.
And I convinced my guitarist to learn The Hellion / Electric Eye.
But we still need a bassist and vocalist (since out bassist tragically died last summer...)

Hi, Writing to request that a "useless thread" be closed. My son, cuda, created the "Harley-Davidson Motorcyle" thread (general discussion parent topic), which duplicates the theme of an already existing "motorcyle" thread. In sofar as the membership finds threads such as "The Holy Kingdom of Strat", "Kmac the second" and the "Imaginary" threads more meaningful, I hope to eliminate implicit ridicule by the adult membership of my son's oversight. Thanks.
Poser? Aw, come on. This was classic! Too funny for any fan of tennis.

Do you even understand what it means to be a MAN? It is certainly not a matter of genitalia! The behavior you model affects your children and their future as well! Do you not even GET that??

Thought I'd share with you all something that hit me (actually a friend brought it to my attention shortly after the grammy nominations); anyway, it motivated me to submit the following to the R&R HallofFame. Not everyone will agree with the language I chose to use and that's OK. This is only one fan's letter, mine.
***************************************
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation
1290 Avenue of the Americas, 2nd Floor
New York, NY 10104
Dear Rock and Roll Inductee Nominating Committee Members,
I humbly submit the following for consideration as 2010 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
Perhaps in and of itself the very name “Judas Priest” set their course and sealed their fate as underdog in the Heavy Metal genre. Unquestionably (for some arguably) a band that has had significant impact on Rock and Roll. And yet their career goes unheralded amongst their peers.
Perhaps it is that no one considered inducting the band. As Judas was to the Christ, Judas Priest was to Rock and Roll … at one time. It can’t go unnoticed any longer. The men from the United Kingdom that formed Judas Priest have remained loyal to their roots and to that the credit of keeping the band performing for going on 40 years, a career spanning much turmoil and musical evolution.
Judas Priest produces music not easily consumed by mainstream listeners (some would say to a degree cheesy). It involves much closer inspection in lyric, composition, presentation. I site their most recent endeavor “Nostradamus”. Throughout the course of their history they have weathered the dilemma of unscrupulous producers, hostile focus groups, and frustrated corporate media. Such is the industry. To that affect, it can be said that ‘Priest are pioneers, taking the heat, paving a smoother way for other musicians, not only in Rock and Roll.
Nearing the end of the first decade of the 21st Century and at the dawn of the 4th decade of existence for Judas Priest, how fitting would it be to bestow upon them an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I don’t know that they do what they do to be honored by anyone. Would they be grateful, if so chosen? I like to believe they would be humbled. One of Priest’s more ardent fans graces the streets of Cleveland. He carries the torch of faithful Judas Priest fans worldwide that recognize their greatness. Much the way I envision Judas Priest accepting an induction, completely reciprocal.
It is my understanding that the committee deciding who is inducted into the hall is comprised of industry leaders, etc. and maybe that is the cause of this oversight. I have to tell you though, as a long time listener, fan, friend, and follower of heavy metal in all its forms and fashions myself; and, as someone who appreciates all kinds of music from classical to rap / hip-hop, country western and folk, instrumental and, yes dare I say Enya, there isn’t a reason I can surmise to not induct these performers into the Hall.
Thanks so much for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
*****************************
NOTE: While some are of the thinking a petition would be the way to go, from experience, flooding the mailbag with letters is equally if not more effective.

New Live Cd/DVD Documentry From Nightwish
Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH have revealed the cover artwork of their new CD/DVD, "Made In Hong Kong (And In Various Other Places)", due on March 6 via Nuclear Blast Records. The set will contain a DVD documentary (with a running time of approximately 45 minutes) of NIGHTWISH's world tour in support of the band's latest album, "Dark Passion Play", as well as a CD featuring live recordings from the trek. The documentary footage was reportedly directed by Ville Lipiäinen.
Fan-filmed video footage of NIGHTWISH performing in Hong Kong on January 24, 2008 can be viewed below.
NIGHTWISH issued a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled "The Sound of Nightwish Reborn", on September 2, 2008. This release, which clocks in at nearly 70 minutes of music, retains "must-have" status for all NIGHTWISH diehards, since it includes a bevy of exclusive material, such as demo versions of songs from the "Dark Passion Play" sessions that were recorded prior to singer Anette Olzon joining the band and that feature Marco Tapani Hietala handling the vocals, as well as B-sides.
Glenn Tipton Interview
JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Glenn Tipton has spoken exclusively to Classic Rock magazine to defend the lineup of the band's Priest Feast U.K. tour, which was recently forced to downsize some venues and even cancel a show. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Classic Rock: When Classic Rock spoke to [JUDAS PRIEST singer] Rob Halford before the festival tour, he expressed mild reservations regarding his vocal power — "At the age of 56, there are some things that I know I can't sing anymore". How do feel about that situation?
Tipton: With that type of comment, I think that Rob is selling himself short. To me, he's singing better than he's ever sung.
Classic Rock: Really? There has been some criticism from the fans.
Tipton: Rob still has the biggest range of any heavy metal singer I know, and he's been singing spot-on. He's still doing great.
Classic Rock: There's also been internet outcry regarding MEGADETH and TESTAMENT's places on the Priest Feast bill, some fans preferring a lighter act like the SCORPIONS instead.
Tipton: The SCORPIONS are great friends of ours and it's always a pleasure to play with them, but we've been out together quite a few times. We are very happy with the choices of MEGADETH and TESTAMENT. We wanted a classical metal bill. A lot of the bills that go out these days are intentionally diverse, the intention being to attract more people. All it really does is split things. At Priest Feast, everyone will be in the same frame of mind.
Classic Rock: With the Nottingham cancellation, the smaller venue in Manchester and two-tickets-for-one deals in Sheffield or Birmingham, might your plan have backfired?
Tipton: No. That's down to the agents booking too many gigs in such a confined area. Had they come to us and said, "What do you think of this?" we'd have told them. There's a financial crisis going on and people don't have much money to spend. They were being too optimistic.
Classic Rock: There's a recession going on.
Tipton: Absolutely. There's no shame in what we've done. If you're playing Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham and Birmingham... they're all in close proximity. Kids have only got so much money.
Here's hoping Bren is, as my sister who lives in Chahalis would say, "still afloat." Weird weather up that way. Heck, most northerners have had an incredible winter. Watch out for the spring thaw! Yikes!

Semester end, and stress is lifting ... here I am
I don't know, nor am I sure, what exactly is to be said about my posting again. The response has not been overwhelming, or it has not been noticed, so I humbly take that as an obvious clue. To the veterans: I cannot apologize for any past behavior as I, like most, react and respond with honest intentions. And, as a rule, think before I post. Whatever was written was well thought out. Since then, I have been lurking, watching the new interactions. It is comforting. I do not intend to disrupt the new community whatsoever.
I did want to take the time and let you know, it was an exciting, interesting, experience in Vegas. New frienships have developed, old re-kindled to some degree, and others turned more casual. Those of you unable to attend were missed tremendously! Perhaps next time ...
About the future: I will be around, sporadically. If you don't care to interact, I understand; if you do, I welcome that too, and will do my best to be civil.
Wishing all those that celebrate - Happy Thanksgiving - Cheers!

You know Bev, as with anything else, it has its place. If people are that interested and will pay to read the stuff, good for them. Capitalism at its finest. I really do understand that there are millions of people that eat this up. They love to read every detail about some celebrity's life. Whatever. Of course, they could certainly concentrate on more "empowering" endeavors, but they will not. So be it. MY complaint is the over-the-top coverage of ONE kid's death. He was NOTHING special to me and I am NOT alone. The Travoltas may feel differently and I get that but the kid is just another kid to me.

You know. When Rob left the band and Ripper came on as frontman the synergy was different. No doubt Tim Owens has vocal skills; however, I for one was ecstatic when Rob returned to the fold!
Some may believe band members can be replaced. But when replacement happens the overall package changes tremendously. The foundation wouldn't be as solid, if either Travis or Hill were to leave.
Time has made it clear this is an effective combination!

Planet Rock is over in another solar system. They missed the Elvis meteor completely ... interesting (sighs) It would be interesting to know who is on these nominating committees.
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven k nows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel stuck on top of the Christmas tree . . . .

The man is probably suffering to some degree. Think he's more pissed he'll be in jail then anything.
I know this kind of grief and horror, though. I remember coming topside on our boat a couple of New Years Eves ago to discover my son wasn't on the pier. Except for lights sparkling on the water, pitch black was the surface and smooth as glass. Then the god awful stillness was broken by splashes beneath the peir. Seconds later he surfaced near the boat next to us, clawing for the pier and gasping for air. We were lucky! But it's a memory that I'm sure will take a while to fade.
OMG is that true, where did you read it? who the hell in this fucking world can do such a thing like that?

Recent research also revealed that the average woman spends three times more time with her computer every day than she spends with her significant other, most overweight American women have more sex than their skinny counterparts, redhead college girls are 8 percent more like to have a threesome than blonde or brunette college girls, students with tattoos prefer missionary position over cowgirl and vegetarians enjoy giving oral sex 2.5 times more than carnivores. Who knew?

It took me 20 seconds to find links to report cyber-bullying, stalking, harrassment, etc. Next time you step of the IWeb mainstreet and into a forum, with the intent to harrass one of its members, you may want to put cyber-gloves on to mask your tracks - D'oh! So, Einstein, I think your time machine is double parked. Why don't you hop back in it and venture back about 20 million years where this type of behavior is welcomed, by hybernating bears that need butt plugs removed!
Bev: (thinking to herself … should I or shouldn’t I join the JudasPriest notice board? Hmmm)
30 June 2006 Bev joins the notice board.
Ken: (from somewhere Europe, in a recording studio) Bloody hell, Ian! Did you know your 2nd ex-wife’s mate, Bev, just joined the Judas Priest forum?
Ian: Which mate?
Ken: Your daughter’s GodMum
Ian: Oh, I’d almost forgotten her name (chuckles with that twinkle in his eyes)
Ken: Ya don’t think she’s gonna cause any trouble? (laughs nervously)
Ian: Not Bev. She’s a good girl. Used to have a reputation with the fellas (winks). Only met her a couple of times. Our fans, bus drivers, and mangers know more about us than she does.
Bev: (thinking to herself … 29 November 2008) I’m glad I joined. I’ve met some really cool people here. And Judas Priest just gets better. So glad Rob’s back with the band! (sighs)

Now... to be back op topic, here's something to think for you:
I've always been curious about phenomen(sp?) called "love".
I've come to understand that it's mainly nature's way to try mate "suitable" pairs.
That may seem as cold to you, but think about it a moment.
The feeling of "being in love"? How big percentage of people actually (and truthfully!) can claim theyre in love with the same person they fell into? Now, think about those "flings" people have. Take into your careful calculation other things that can make the difference like how fast the "love" fades after some time. Oh... I know. Love is not not the thing you can calculate, but doing so certainly gives you much better insight for it.
Final note: Of all the babes I've ever drooled about, only ONE is the one I dream again and again! Note that (re-)meeting her was way before I started to think these kind of things! Perhaps she was the "one that got away", IOW the perfect mate for me?
No, i don't think I ever run into her again. Unfortunately, as I want to feel that "Yesss!" feeling again!

"Hello everyone",
I missed you all & thought of you often.
I just read well-wishes from Scorpion, Justin, Freeze and, of course, Ron. Thanks guyz....
How's school going Vail? And, MG, I'd gladly exchange phone numbers with you...
Thanks to Mara & Jeanine & Bev (and Necro!) for staying in touch. You're all such good people.
All of this really means a lot ... *sniff* ... (trying not to cry! lol...)
And I come back to Lana missing? Again...!? (Hope it's nothing to do with that former rice-diet.)
I felt compelled to come back, not only because I missed you all and have wondered how things were going ... but, I have news about Ron! Poor guy has had his pc down for a week and a half now. He managed to sneak onto his work pc and quickly send a note while making a desperate move in chess. (Actually, that's not fair -- he's remembered how to play! Giving me a good run for my money now...)
I think we need to take up a collection for him to get it fixed!
It's been a tough month, that I'm thinkin' will be tough a while longer. I just didn't want to bring the board down with my "boo-hooing" and self-pity ... Which, I'm not going to lie to you, "I'm not okay with, yet." All I can say is, "I'm trying..." Poor Colley has had to pull out his best material to keep me laughing lately, and I think he needs some help with that. He needs a break. Your turn!
Anyway, good to 'see' you all again. Nice to know you're all there.
I'll try to visit more often.
Don't even need to name who I miss...you know who you are! My fav time of year, one of my fav shows on TV. Like any good fan, I stopped it and popped in the DVD. Edited version? No way!
I have would have been Riff in the play! Thus, my scene! Anxiously awaiting the entrance of Eddie!!!!
I don't know, nor am I sure, what exactly is to be said about my posting again. The response has not been overwhelming, or it has not been noticed, so I humbly take that as an obvious clue. To the veterans: I cannot apologize for any past behavior as I, like most, react and respond with honest intentions. And, as a rule, think before I post. Whatever was written was well thought out. Since then, I have been lurking, watching the new interactions. It is comforting. I do not intend to disrupt the new community whatsoever.
I did want to take the time and let you know, it was an exciting, interesting, experience in Vegas. New frienships have developed, old re-kindled to some degree, and others turned more casual. Those of you unable to attend were missed tremendously! Perhaps next time ...
About the future: I will be around, sporadically. If you don't care to interact, I understand; if you do, I welcome that too, and will do my best to be civil.
Wishing all those that celebrate - Happy Thanksgiving - Cheers!
Glad you were here earlier, yourself! How are you, Axedude? Make it home safe & sound? Wish I coulda willed the weather in another direction for you.

The storm blew ashore 150 miles south of Corpus, SouthPadreIsland (spring break heaven ; ). I much prefer to be on the southern edge of these hurricanes v. the northern. Northern outerbands brought wind, rain, and tidal surge, only a couple of feet though. It did bring the water up over the break to the sea wall, downtown; one of the docks in the marina was almost submerged. A few nervous boat owners. One confirmed tornado north of us. So not too bad. Looks worse down south, in the valley.
How was Hurricane Dolly? Were you guys hit pretty badly (sorry, I'm not too updated on the news :P)?

Chewie - did this happen at the "official meet & greet," or at the hotel afterward? Were guitars an item listed as items recommended for signing at a meet & greet?

One day last week, I got an update that included all my subscriptions, including a couple missionmetallica clips ; )

As love is new and joyful, the sting of a breakup, lost love, can be as intense and felt for a long time - if you let it. I found a book of Celtic Blessings (as usual, the timing coincidental). Wanted to share it with you.
A Celtic Blessing for the Breakup of a Relationship
Now you endeavor to gather yourself and withdraw in slow animal woundedness from love turned sour and ungentle.
When we love, the depth in us trusts itself forward until the empty space between becomes gradually woven into an embrace where longing can close its weary eyes.
Love can seldom end clean; for all the tissue is torn and each lover turned stranger is dropped into a ruin of distance where emptiness is young and fierce.
Time becomes strange and slipshod; it mists memories that felt the kiss of the eternal with the blistering hurt of now.
Unknown to themselves, certain small things touch nerve-lines to the heart and bring back with color and force all that is utterly lost.
This is the time to be slow, lie low to the wall until the bitter weather passes.
Try, as best you can, not to let the wire brush of doubt scrape from your heart all sense of yourself and your hesitant light.
IF you remain generous, time will come good; and you will find your feet again on fresh pastures of promise, where the air will be kind and blushed with beginning.
yeah, I was told that before too, after the last fiasco when I used to access via aol.
Web admin recommends refresh after log out, which I do, and did yesterday when it appeared I was logged off.
Just found it strange that even after the refresh indicated I was in fact logged off, and I navigated away, I returned to find I was still signed on. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Thursday, July 17, 2008 7:34:49 AM)

I've sent a couple of emails. They've responded very quickly. I'm confident in the information I've received from them.
The last message I sent, was just before, or after, the release. They say sometime w/i the next couple of months.

I waited shy of a month to walk into the local BestBuy. My son wanted a new joy stick. So I tagged along. In the back of my mind, I thought ... hm, wonder if there would be any "Nostradamus Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Sets" on the shelf. There were (3)! I had absolutely no problem taking them all into my arms, to the check-out. One I will keep for myself. One is intended as a gift. That leaves one I have yet to decide what to do with!
I thought I'd let JP.com membership know first If there is anyone wanting one, send a PM.
Perhaps a guest book for nonmembers to post; and an additional layer so that discussions cannot be viewed unless a member is actually logged onto the site. Might minimize embarrassment.
Wow, what the heck did I miss in my absence?! Shame to see you go if that is your choice, MG. Know that I'll miss you.

I think I can understand where you would want me, or others, to believe that I am the phony. The fact that I don't play the silly PM/email/MySpace games that others do, is probably why some feel I am just here to stir up shit.

That would be the only way I would not participate, here. As it is, I was not going to post until after the Vegas show. This nonsense is ridiculous, and I continue to fall for it.

Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married.
The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.'
I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily
Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed three times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another nine times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when totally smashed... three cuckoos plus nine cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos--MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'
He didn't seem pissed off in the least.
Whew, I got away with that one!
Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, 'oh, shit.' Cuckooed four more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
I will see those of you that chose to attend the Vegas show. (not to worry Paperflowers, I have a seat in the back ... lol) After that, I will make a decision to return or not.
I love you all. MOst of all, I treasure the music of the Metal Gods!

I just finished a semester of rock & roll history. Turns out, from the perspective of rock & roll historians, Zep and some of the other bands, in question, form the foundation of "heavy metal." Ah, the past ...
Interesting tidbit I learned this past week: Most early rock & roll (circa 1950s / 60s) music wasn't written. A lot of the younger artists, of the day, played by ear, having not spent any amount of time actually learning how to read music; hits didn't last long on the charts. By the time someone published the written music, the song / hit was already dated.
