Folks. It's been quite a while. I have sad news to report. Our dear old friend, Deep Freeze/Mike Berentsen has passed away from complications due to COVID. He passed away yesterday, 5/23/25. If you knew him via Facebook, Mychal Freeze is his name there, then please go and pay your respects to, arguably, this forums patriarch. ❤️

Hey Peeps... Any word on whether there is going to be a 2nd leg thru the US?? I missed them this last time around and would love to see them 1 last time. Would love to see them at Wacken with Queensryche and Epica and all the others but who can afford that!!
[METAL MELTDOWN] Tuesday, January 06, 2015 12:17:42 PM
No, I am not the vocalist. The guy singing Green Manalishi is a man named Jason Russo from Buffalo, NY. The man singing the rest of them is Mark Alan Dooley from Monroe, LA. Jason and Mark both have FB pages as well as myself......
WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!! Do ya sing too? I am very impressed from you, you seem to be a real true Priest fanatic too!!
Nice to have ya here on this page !! I hope you will post again....normally all the crazy, wild and enthusiastic Priest fans are on fb which really want all about them.....except one
Guitar-work, outstanding as usual. Damn, your vocalist can reallly hit the high notes! Never been my fav P. Green / Fleetwood Mac song but you did it proper! Cudos.
Hey all. I havent been on in a while but I wanted to pop in and share this with you. Its a ( JUST FOR FUN AND NOT FOR SALE, JAYNE ) version of "The Green Manalishi" I did with a good friend in Buffalo, NY named Jason Russo on vocals. Check it out and let me know what you think......

Thanks for those words Guido. I am sure that I speak for Freeze and everone else involved when I say it was a fantastic experience. I took a week off from work to record all of those tunes and it was the best vacation I ever took. Meeting and gaining new friends was icing on the cake.

Tonight, I had a revelation. Most who know me also know that I often listen to entire albums when doing two different things: while riding the Big Green mowing my lawn or while running. Today was the former.
It hits me. The BS that has been flooding this site of late pales in comparison with what was accomplished here - TRUE fans that got together and made two outstanding tribute albums. I was a reader when “Raw Steel” was conceived and came to be. Listened to it again today.Phenomenal accomplishment thanks to this website. People met, some travelled and made a wonderful recording. Next? “Forged Steel.”Again, unprecedented here when true fans got together and recorded another masterpiece that was even linked to KK's Mill.
These recordings mark the pinnacle of the site, IMO. Fans that got together to record the two wonderful albums and then gave them away freely to any other fan that simply wrote asking for them.
I actually got the first recording from Shotz (as he called himself then). Didn’t know him but he sent it to me freely and without hesitation. Those that don’t have either recording don’t know what they missed. THIS is the thread to back-read – the one that details the accomplishment of Judas Priest fans that I will forever hold in high esteem.
Long live the Faithful Defenders. For my part, I thank you for what you have done.

Budred, I was at the same show that you were. You said that people were "laughing at Rob when he tried to hit those notes". Well, where I was, people were practically falling to their knees at how incredible he still is. The looks on everyones faces around me when he hit them said it all. Rob knew that he was on - I loved that look he gave the crowd after some of his screams as if to say to everyone "Yeah - what did you think of that?!" He is moving around the stage so much more than in the past and giving it everything that he has, for almost 2 1/2 hours each night! If I were fighting with you, you would KNOW it. I just don't agree with your review of the exact same show that I was at. You want Priest to hang it up and you said that they should have done so after the British Steel tour. Well, I don't agree with that either - I am so incredibly thankful that I was able to see them 3 more times and hear Rob sing some of my favorite Priest tracks that I had never heard done live before. Richie does make them sound different, there is no getting around that. I can totally see where fans would be upset by that, it's a hard pill to swallow.

All I'm going to say is that there is a core group of people (about 6) that I do everything in
my power not to offend or get into a back and forth with. (I respect them)Three of them left posts
after mine that in my opinion sounded angry. One had F**ing included in the post, another wondered
what planet I'm from and another just seemed to be joining the frenzy so how can I not take
that as angry. There was "these pseudo fans" and "Never Satisfied" comments. I said that 14 out of 17
times they were amazing. That's never satisfied? I've seen them every time they hit this area since 1981
and bought every album they've released but because I thought this show lacked a little I'm a
pseudo fan.
I didn't agree that they were that awesome but I didn't leave a single post referring
to any person who did. If you guys think it's just me I even had a private message telling me
they thought that it was funny that people get angry with me because my opinioned differed
from the others. I learned (thank you Jimmy) to not let myself get out of hand and almost
everything I do on here is tempered or thought out (usually) so as not to do what I did my first
year here. So I'm not going to do anything stupid. As negative as my post may be all I was saying
was that it wasn't what Priest has gotten me accustomed to over the years. I didn't say they sucked.
I didn't suggest anyone not go.

WOW....All I gotta say is WOW...

Message me your address and I'll mail you a CD.... This is original material. Not Priest... The CD was actually done on Cubase software but mastered at a studio nearby so it sounds better than both of the Priest recordings....
Personally, I don't think this thread should die as it is one of the greatest tributes to Priest that I have ever seen. All JP.com driven. Newbies should get these two albums, IMO.
I've always said that I thought the original to be a masterful mix. I still think so. Love to hear the new stuff. Hook a non Facebook metal maniac up!

Just read the Rolling Stone article. Glad to see "Never Satisified" in there as its one of my favorites but I can really do without Hell Bent, Living after midnight and Breaking the law. I think they should dedicate those 13 or 14 minutes to something we havent heard in forever or something they havent done...ever. Would love to hear Raw Deal or Genocide or Killing Machine, or Stained Class. Hell i'd rather hear Before the dawn than Hell bent. Theres too many thats been rubbed in the grouind!

In other words the same tired old tunes they have been doing each and every tour since they recorded the damned things!! What I want to hear is something they either havent done in forever or never did live. I'd love to hear Never Satisfied or Blood Red Skies Tyrant, Stained Class, Genocide. They could do a NEVER DONE IT BEFORE tour! Anything other than the aforementioned. I probably will not go if its the same ole same ole.

HB, 4 hours would be kick ass!! BRING IT ON! But I'm realistic, so I'll hope for 2 hours with all their classic cuts, songs from every album and ones that I was not old enough to go to show and see live. I just really hope that their management makes this a celebration and looks at what other bands are doing out on the road. Look at OzzTV, that's a fantastic idea! Queensryche does a raffle for the fan club and you can win meet and greets, which is a party with all the guys milling around - not a 2 minute red carpet photo op, or you can also win the opportunity to be at their soundcheck. How COOL would that be? I've also heard of bands recording every show and you can buy that shows audio recording. There are SO MANY very cool things that they could do.

I think that this shows you that Rob got himself an incredible management team! THIS is what they should be doing with Priest, but instead we have Jayne.... don't get me started. I don't think that the Halford band got in the way at all. I don't think Rob wants to sit around and do nothing, he just isn't that kind of guy. He gets bored. The other guys obviously want their downtime, which is perfectly fine. Looking at how Halfords touring went this year, he only committed to the summer. I think he was waiting to see what Priest was going to do. When it was clear they wouldn't be doing anything, he then booked with Ozzy and during this tour is also doing headline shows. If Halford was his main focus, I think he would have booked dates next year as well. I could be totally off base though, who really knows? I just think that Rob has a lot more music to share with the world before he is done and it looks like the rest of Priest doesn't feel the same way. Sad they are going out this way...... Just like you said, in like a lion and out like a lamb! And it sucks and it just isn't the way it should be!

They take 3 and a half long years just to create Nostradamus,an album that is anything but "Judas Priest" and then since they couldn't cash in on the tour because the album sucked that much they pull a switcheroo and strike up a 30 year old album and tour it for a year and a half?

Rob came back and did a reunion tour,the Angel Of Retribution tour,the 6 week Nostradamus tour because it sucked that bad,the British Steel reunion tour and now a fuckin farewell Epitaph tour? And alls this band really has to show for it is the 2005's Angel Of Retribution album in which ironically the biggest Priest fan of them all(Hellrider) hates it! I however love the album,but they could of done way better,but thats the only thing that has come from this 7 years with Rob being back,and I for one think it "sucks". I think it sucks "big time".
Judas Priest will always be the Godfathers of heavy metal but they have not upheld that title at all,not even close. The last 20 years has only 2 albums worth a shit,Painkiller and Angel of Retribution,they had a huge opportunity when Rob came back,they should of had a blistering album out after Angel Of retribution for 2007,should of had another one out in 2009 and we should of been waiting for the final LP in 2011 and like John Belushi always said: "But Nooooooooooooooo" we ain't got "shit" and we are supposed to jump up and down because they decided to tour again with no LP? Bullshit.
Priest will always be the masters of heavy metal and the Godfathers of heavy metal but they are anything but defenders of the faith,not even close. Since Motorhead isn't really heavy metal and how Iron Maiden sucks as bad as they do(yes Brian,they fucking SUCK!) Saxon have been the band that upholds "consistancy" because thier last 7 studio LPs are great and consistant,they actually blow away Judas Priest and Iron Maiden put together and it shouldn't be like this even though I like Saxon,it should of been Judas Priest who should of had the last 7 studio albums top notch,but they did this to themselves.

Forgot about that shit!! I dont study maiden! BUT they did not lighten the load, change the formula, record their "Turbo". Dont get me wrong, I am not ragging Priest. There is great things in everthing they have done even turbo had some moments. It boils down to consistancy. I do wish they would have taken SFV and Defenders and increased the intensity of those till now. Painkiller should have followed Defenders and it should have been gut wrenching metal on each following. It should be Judas Priest and Tipton or Downing on every young aspiring guitar players lips instead of that no talent Kirk Hamett from Metallica who couldnt hold a candle to either.
I think in the mid 80's with the inception of, dare I say, Jayne Andrews is where it all changed. They changed their look with adding big hair and flashier stage wear and they took a mainstream approach to their tunes trying to capitalize on the popularity of the hair bands here in the US instead of staying with the formula. Turbo, even with its moments, would be more believeable as a Ratt album. THey finally figured it out with replacing Holland with Travis and put out what Priest should have been putting out all along but then they shot themselves in the foot with the ripper era albums by making themselves sound every guitar chuggin drop d nu-metal band out there and we all know that Priest is NOT a nu-metal band.......
Priest is my band and I love 'em but I say these things because thats the way I now see it. They could have been the biggest band in the world and were well on track of being just that by taking what Sabbath started and doing it right........

Ever heard of Blaze Bayley? He replaced Bruce Dickenson who left Maiden from 1993 to 1999. They recorded 2 cd'c with Baily. They also lost guitarist Adrien Smith at the same time. Drummer Clive Burr left after Number of The Beast. So Maiden have had their setbacks just like Priest but continued to crank out quality metal cd's over the years.

I like that fact that there is diversity in Priest recordings and its taught me to be diverse in my own music but if they want to sell out shows then they should have been emulated what was done on Painkiller with every recording since.

They are obviously retiring because they've become senile because the way it works is, you record an album then you go on tour and support it. I'm sick of bands re-releasing old material in a new package and calling it "new." Then they announce a farewell tour to rob their fans of any final cash they can get.
I'm with those fans that think the last years of Priest have been their worst. I'd go back and say the last good priest album was Painkiller, everything since then is either horribly bad especially the Owens albums or just ok (A.O.R).
It's probably just as well because I had already made up my mind that if they recorded another death metal album that I wasn't going to buy it or go to the concert, BTW I didn’t buy Nostradamus. Priest was my favorite band since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but towards the end of their career it was obvious that the direction they went in left me behind. I don't think it's Halford because I like his solo stuff, so I think it's probably Glenn and K.K. making the decisions in this band. I'm not going to the farewell tour because I've pretty much lost interest in them years ago, but it's sad for me because I'd always hoped that they would come full circle and write more classic stuff and go out that way. But this just proves that Judas Priest left me behind and in the end they were not my favorite band...

Scott is a phenominal drummer with stellar history of band affiliation, and album credits.
I think that the priest could make a intense Metal Album with new blood on the drum kit. A drummer that would die for a shot at the preist classics, and a driving force for a new creative priest.
IMO Scott sounds like a drum machine dadadadada. kinda bored with the same old
THanks for asking.
I think that the drumming was killer on old priest albums, that music will rock forever. An interseting beat that breathed with the music.

It is a retirement well deserved. Priest has SO many accomplishments and I know they can all look back on their careers with heads held high.

After watching video of Rob and Scott's "Interview" at the grammys I am disgusted.
Here is the greatest heavy metal band in the world on the red carpet and who do they get interviewed by?: one of the skanks from jersey shore. She didn't even know who they were. Instead of even trying to ask ANY relevant question to the band it was: "Who are you?" and "Have you seen my show?".
I know I am biased because PRIEST is my favorite band, but MTV clearly showed no respect to the true pioneers of metal music. They just sent their "representative" to get 15 minutes of more publicity for their show. I have nothing against self promotion, but do it properly and not by treating music legends as an afterthought because they think Judas Priest is a band no one still cares about.
I still care.

It's true without truckers there would be a bunch of stuff laying around rotting, rusting, not getting built, or loosing potentcy and not helping anyone. I apprciate a trucker, and the major role they play in our economy.

Whats pissing me off.....BON JOVI. Every fucking time I turn around there Bon Jovi is. Not a day will go by when I dont hear something or see something about them. Fucking retire already....
And another...The Who. I was a big fan back in the day but another one that needs to go and for good this time. I'd almost rather see a rehash of Britney Spears at the Super Bowl half time show that the friggin Who. Fucking retire already....
And another.... The Grammys, the Emmys and the Oscars. Congrats to Priest but was this one a televised one of one of the behind the scenes ones? Didnt watch the show other than the Pink performance, ( nice ) It disgust me that with all thats going on in this world that the rich and famous get together and collectively blow each other and televise the big balls for all the world to see. Who fucking cares. Retire them already!!!!!!

I think the Saints will be in the "bowl" this year!! I am SOOO glad they kicked the shit out of NE last night. That was an awesome game. Its time for NE's bubble to be burst.
On another note...I went to my 1st NFL game this past sunday. The Bills and the Dolphins. The Bills are fired up after that ass kicking and my hats off to Ryan Fitzpatrick. He did an excellent job in the QB slot and socred a nice 31 yard run in for a TD! The Bills are showing some promise now. The play NE in a few weeks and after damn near beating them back at the beginning of the season and the effort they have been putting forth since Dicks booting, I have a feeling they will pull it off this time. That would be, for around here anyway, a sweet sweet victory..... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Sunday, November 29, 2009 8:22:21 PM)

Oh definately,I do like how the Saints are undefeated as Drew Brees is totally on fire and even though the Saints have never been to the Super Bowl yet, you have to pull for Minnesota,they have NEVER won a Super Bowl,between 1970 and 1977 the Vikings went to 4 Super Bowls and lost them all.The first one was Joe Capp as QB and the next 3 Fran Tarkenton was QB but yet thanks to the Buffalo Bills thats all people remember is how the Bills lost 4 in a row!!! LOL!!! Hopefully Favre can take the Vikings to the Super Bowl and WIN! If The Patriots or Colts or Steelers are there then that would make for a classic!!!!

Beyond the Realms - This has to be from 2005-2006. Still a great showstopper for Priest, always cool to hear, but has not stood the test of time very well. Too many great versions of this song from all the previous tours, this isnt one of them.
Death - To me, this is the dark horse of the clips I heard. Sounded real tight and I love the eerieness of it. They can bring this one back for sure. Dont want to have the entire Nostradamus epic played live but this is pretty damn good.
Finally, a couple of songs that didnt make it to Touch of Evil Live disc but absolutely should have from the 2005 - 2008 tours:
Devils Child (2008) - Sounded great and Rob friggin nailed it. Loved it!
Hot Rockin' (2005) - To me, this was the best track on the Budokan DVD. Great dusted classic and live it put the crowd into a frenzy. Sorely omitted, why?

I think a lot of fans would be shocked and disappointed if Scott left. We'd have to say goodbye to future incarnations of Painkiller, Hell Patrol, Judas Rising, Hellrider etc and that wouldn't be pretty. Undoubtedly Scott is here to stay until the band retires. My only thought on him is he should have been in the band since 1984 not 1989.
Head banger wrote:
if scott left you dont think that fans would react the same way do you? I dont get how rob is 1 out of 5 members, yes he is a great singer, but he is 20% of the band. they changed drummers all the time. if KK left, no where near as many people would react as when rob left. if ian left, I bet 1% of fans would care.
Becks wrote:
I agree hellrider. Also, I doubt any of us would even know who Ripper Owens is if it wasn't for Priest. I think many people here would say Priest is not Priest without Rob, therefore, although the Ripper years kept KK, Glenn, Ian and Scott playing music, they are almost transition years (for lack of a better term), moving forward to Rob returning and completing the band once more. It would be the same situation if any of the current members left, it just would not be Priest.
On the subject of the live album, I think it's awesome, end of story really. For them to still be going, releasing any albums at their ages is fantastic.

Mike. I wasnt asking JD for an apology. I made a comment in response to his comment about you being the only one here representing the project. To get to the bare bones about it, I dont appreciate being dissed especially when you wouldnt have a recording at all if it werent for what I did. Get off of your pompous high horse and leave my name out of your drawn out love letters to the membership. Take a good hard look at what I was going through and take a good hard look at your pushing for completion and then think about why there is animosity. I also DID offer to finish this project up about 2 or 3 weeks ago but YOU declined.... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Thursday, May 14, 2009 7:13:45 AM)
Deep Freeze wrote:
Ok. I had originally decided NOT to make a comment but I see that one is really needed.
First, JD has NOTHING to apologize for , as he was simply making a statement. I appreciate his support. Next, I think it is important for EVERYONE to be clear on something. I made an announcement regarding the completion of this album. I did NOT, EVER, say it was "all mine" or that no one else was involved or any of that crap. By Phil's own words he admits that he has no time for this recording and that is fine. There was NO reason for me to mention him or the other artists since I was NOT talking about the recording, I was talking about completing the production! More importantly, I am NOT a three year old ! I am well aware of the members that participated in this recording and they will be properly credited ON the album. I do not need a motherly reminder.
As you all may have noticed, there is some animosity regarding this album. That is terribly unfortunate. I know that I have a big ego. I admit it. I also have a very practical side and, MOST importantly, I hold friendship in the highest regard. I do not believe that berating one another or name-calling is an acceptable way to behave. EVERYONE on this Board and throughout the world has problems. No one is so special that they can say their problems are of greater importance than someone else's. No one's brand of suffering is more important than another's. Having problems is NO excuse for poor behavior towards friends. Period.
I made an announcement regarding the completion of this album. Had it not been for Johnn and myself, it would not have been done. We found the time. We made the time. It did not put one dime in our bank accounts nor did we get a loaf of bread. In fact, it has cost me a lot of money. Money I gladly spent because it means something to me. Metallark and a friend of his stepped in and assisted and for that we are also VERY grateful. Without them, it would have been a few more weeks while we had another drummer complete the tracks. It has always been my intention to properly credit EVERYONE that made this album possible and I will do so.....WHEN THE TIME COMES. My earlier post was not that time.
As I have said MANY times, I care very much for my friends here on this site. I would never leave you. Not willingly, anyway. Friendship, its nuturing and its preservation are what really matter to me most. Life happens. We deal with it. Most of the time, our problems are of our own doing. We control our future (to a degree). We make decisions. If they are not the right ones, that is our OWN fault. Fate takes its role. DEAL with it. I truly appreciate all of your support. While this will be the LAST Faithful Defenders album, I still think it will be the best. Certainly it will now be a "collector's item", no? HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[METAL MELTDOWN] Wednesday, May 13, 2009 8:25:36 PM
Life takes precedence, JD. If I had all the time in the world then I would have spent more time on the project and this site but unfortunatly and as bad as this may sound to some, recording Judas Priest tunes and hanging out on this site doesnt put groceries in the fridge nor does it make my business phones ring, ease my tax burden and take the stress off of my day. I pop in when I can but only briefly.
Good luck to Freeze with this recording and I hope its a distribution success.

None of us here can change what the commercial media wants to categorize these geres but every time I see somebody post and list a band as "metal"...I'm going to have my say on it because "I can".....and I will. Darth,...these bands Poison and Cinerella..ect..are in no way shape or form "metal"..its not "popmetal".....its not hair bandmetal..its not glam metal .....it is not "METAL" at all.

Actually J.D., even the glam bands are considered Hard Rock. It's about attitude and volume.

This is in no way,shape of form a "hard rock" album Cobras....it is simply a (in my opinion "overrated") commercial hair band era 80's "rock" album,not "hard rock"....."hard rock" is Motorhead....hard rock would be some of "AC/DC" not all,but some...hard rock would be some of "Saxon" even though they also play traditional heavy metal they still write hard rock songs...
Hard rock is like some of the Scorpions..ect...these are hard rock bands,Whitesnake is no where near "hard rock"....and the era of the album you posted ..they were "glam" at the fullest dude,bunch of pretty boys with hair spray with the most commercial sound there was at that time.
Sorry Cobras,not trying to make you angry here but Whitesnake is no where even near "hard" to be "hard rock" and thats what you put in the topic is "YOUR CLASSIC HARD ROCK ALBUM OF THE DAY".

Well...classic rock and hard rock deserve attention too. So here is the thread. My album of the day is 1987 by Whitesnake. Great sound, great attitude and style. It's a lot like Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction. Along with Appetite For Destruction and Racer X's Street Lethal, it was a big "Fuck You" to the glam movement. Well done boys.

I wanted to say that I have everything done that I can get done with this recording. Due to the absence of a drummer, there are only 7 complete songs. 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.

Hello all. I want to apologize for the following post but I have had a really BAD day.
The Princess went to her doctor's appointment this morning. She has been feeling really bad the last few days ( more than usual). Anyway, I received a call from her advising that an ambulance had been called for her and she was being taken to the hospital. By the time I got there and found her, I was a freakin wreck. I just now got home. They are going to keep her there overnight for more tests, however, it appears she has a heart condition. This kind of thing runs in her family. Her father has had three heart attacks.
From what I am being told, she has a heart block (NOT blockage). What that means is, her heart beats in an odd fashion. It literally drops a beat every few. A cardiologist will see her in the morning. I am told she should be allowed to leave tomorrow if all the remaining tests are OK. In any event, I am not myself and I suppose I should get offline for a while. Thanks for letting me vent!

I gotta jump in on that comment of "education." While not a CEO in the strict sense of the word, our beloved President went to FREAKIN' YALE!

No, wait, perhaps it was is exemplary military service.
Sorry but your comment about good grades in high school is even more laugabable. You haven't "checked" in a long time as our school systems are in a DISMAL condition. My own state of residence, Tennessee, is just about the worst. I won't even begin to comment on a poor inner-city Detroit school. I guarantee, even if you COULD get a decent education there, you would not get into a top-tier University much less have a fighting chance at a Master of Business degree at Harvard.

Earning the position... Good job, if such a position or such an income could actualy be earned. Which it cant be. It can be won in a competition with thousands of others who want to get to the same spot, it can be bought with connections, hell, maybe it can even be inherited over there in the States, for all I know. I fail to see any logic whatsoever in claiming that anyone can earn so much power over the lives of so many people, who cant do anything else but to comply, or get fired. And thats just the problem. That all the power, the control of a corporation, in some cases power to control entire national economies, is concentrated in the hands of the few. Now, I dont care how much they are stressed, how hard they try (even if they did try to do anything else apart from filling their bank accounts), if they fuckup, they fuckup good. Just like they did now. And responsability... Please. They should be held responsible, since they hold such a disproportionate amount of power, but they are not. Just look at whats happening now (at least it is happening here). Over the last few years, we had a wonderfull economic growth. Splendid. All the indexes were up, statistics were looking great, CEOs, politicians, managers were all smiling... And all that time, most of the working class lived in appauling conditions. The unions were staging strikes like crazy, and all they managed to get were a few cents here and there on the minimal wage. In short, when there was money, they wouldnt share it. But now, just before the reccesion, they talk about us "pulling together", working longer for less, and saving what can still be saved. They wouldnt share the good times, no. But when the shit hits the fan, they will pack their suitcases full of stolen money from the years of economic growth, and leave us with the debts that they created in the first place.
Then the opportunity bit... You dont actualy think that they are growing and expanding their businesses out of solidarity with us? That we would get new jobs? Theyre doing it for themselves, and thats it. You think that I would be given an opportunity to get the job I have now, if the company wouldnt be sure that they would be making more money off me than they spend on me? And, of course, do you think that the big fish would let us near their positions, just to give us the opportunity to succed? Thats just plain naive. There is opportunity, sure. But not everyone can be a winner. Basic logic: if there are 5 different people competing for 1 job, 1 of them gets it, the others dont, no matter how hard they try. Not everyone can succed in this system. Infact, only a few can.
Oh, and the equipment part... They wouldnt have food on the table, if there were no people that would buy and use their products. That is called a symbiosis. However, I still stand by the position that the CEOs are parasites.
Deep Freeze wrote:
OK, let's address the comments.
First; just how do you propose we "justify" an income? What formula do you feel is "fair" and , if so, why is that fairer than earning the position or whatever system we have now? What makes their income so terrible? Because it is greater than ours?? Is that it? Is that all?
Next; you claim that it is "us" who "put food on their tables". Really? Can the same be said for the person that manufactures the items YOU use on the job? I mean, without them, YOU would not have food on the table, correct? Now, by this logic, YOU are the "elite", no?
Next; we so often hear about all the "bad" things CEOs do. They make countless decisions that affect thousands of lives and, when one or two of them go bad, we are so quick to condemn that whole. Amazing. In most cases, it IS because of these people and their ability that we, the common man, are given the opportunity to succeed. As for education, it is out there for everyone. (At least in the US) NOT every single CEO is a Harvard Business grad. Are there privileged? Certainly. In every country, in all social systems, there are the few. Does not mean that YOU strat could not run a corporation if you so desired. The question then becomes, are you motivated? Do you have ambition? I scoff when I see people going on about how the "little guy" is so abused by the system. Whatever. You can be just about anything you want to be IF you have the drive.
I do not see the Business Leaders of the world as "parasites" They are no worse than you and me. We all rely on each other and I, for one, could NOT dowhat they do. I am not qualified nor do I have that kind of drive. I like my weekends! I like my evenings.
_strat_ wrote:
The issue here would be, that even if they work more, it hardly warrants such ridiculously high incomes. Incomes that are made by the entire company, not just that one person that carries his laptop to the toilet.
MM has a valid point. The wages of the beourgeois are really just the tip of the iceberg. With all the incomes that they get, they could have retired at 35 or even before that, and would be much better of than the rest of us, who will have to work until we are old and gray, and get a pension that will barely sustain us.
Than there is the issue of responsability. Yes, they get a lot of shit. BUT they do a lot of shit themselves. As I mentioned earlier, their fuckups are much more serious than ours, and affect all of us. But with the current legislature in most countries, a CEO or a manager that screws something up, will like as not get away with it. And of course their decisions. Outsourcing is a great example. Is outsourcing the jobs somewhere else responsible to the workers that are being outsourced? Yet it is done more and more.
The thing is, that if a bourgeois works 24/7, I dont really care about it. The rest of us still put bread on his table, not the other way around. Even if a person works non-stop all his/her waking hours, its still just one person. Can he/she do more than thousands of others that also provide income for the company, and get a considerably smaller piece of it? Thats impossible.
These people may be visionaries, planners, and whatnot, but the problem is that they are the elite that get to fulfill their visions and dreams. The rest of us cant, because the game forces us to fulfill theirs.
And thats another point: all of us cannot be CEOs and managers. Bourgeoisie is by definition a minority social class. All of us cannot afford the education to get there, all of us wont get the sam opportunities to be at the right plave at the right time, and all of us dont have connections to the elite that would get us there.
All that said... They are parasites. We can do without them. Infact, we were doing quite well without them for decades until the privatisation.
Oh, and mybe we should continue this in the Social issues thread? Just a thought.
Deep Freeze wrote:
Very well. I look forward to your response!
It has become all the rage, (at least in the US), to complain about corporate CEO's and their ilk. It amazes me. Really. I noticed the comment about "working two or three hours" and had to laugh. Of course, I also noticed the equal pay for equal hours bit. *ugh*
To begin with, the CEO of any large corporation is not some guy that has randomly landed the position. He is not some "lucky stiff" that hit the lottery and managed to get the top spot by sheer accident. In order to even get to the level of CEO in a large corporation, one must have a certain level of education, training, experience and a proven track record in management. In short, they earn it. A CEO does not start his day at nine in the morning and quit at noon! The average, yes average CEO, works on a 24 hour basis. Of course, he does sleep, although I cannot imagine how, but business at that level never stops. CEO's work even when they are home. Even when they are sitting on the can!!! I am not making this up. They are on the phone or on a plane or in a car or in a meetings or doing something ALL day and into the night,everyday, including weekends! And let's not even get into the issue of dealing with CONSTANT problems and issues; personnel problems, breakdowns, economic problems, law changes, shareholders..! To suggest that they should be paid for equal hours is just silly. No company could afford it!!
The average working man only sees a brief moment in the life of a CEO, usually when that guy is dealing with some catastrophe. Or when he is leaving his high-stress positon and is (rightfully) getting a large pay-out to leave. These men are TEN cuts above the average guy. They are visionaries, planners, thinkers, creators, decision makers and incredible leaders. The level of stress and amount of responsibility they deal with is beyond comprehension.
It is oh so chic to point the finger at the guy making the "big bucks". Is there abuse? Certainly. That happens at every level. But the fact is, people are paid to "screw in the tail light" and others are paid to make sure they do it. Still others are paid to order enough tail lights while still others deliver them. Somewhere, there is even a guy designing a better tail light! Business is multi-level. Without the people at the top, the people at the bottom would not get that coveted pay check at all! Is there a better way? Possibly. THAT is just ONE reason why CEO's get paid what the do. To find a better way. To create it, plan it, design it, implement it and accept its success or failure. How many average workers are even capable of that kind of accomplishment ? There are many that think they can but are not able to actually do it. Talk is cheap, as they say. Those that actually can do it rise from day-worker "up the ladder", as it were. They earn it. There's that word again. Earn. Funny how that word is rarely used when a CEO is caught in the bright lights of TV cameras while trying to explain why some guy fifty levels below him did something stupid and cost the company millions and now the CEO has to answer for it!! That's right! It is his responsibility, even though he never even met the moron.
As far as I am concerned, people just do not get it. A CEO is far more than some figurehead. They get paid (comparatively) a LOT of money and they deserve every dime. If there are people in the world that feel they could do the job better, my only comment would be to get the education and EARN the job!

It can be won in a competition with thousands of others who want to get to the same spot, it can be bought with connections, hell, maybe it can even be inherited over there in the States, for all I know. I fail to see any logic whatsoever in claiming that anyone can earn so much power over the lives of so many people, who cant do anything else but to comply, or get fired. And thats just the problem. That all the power, the control of a corporation, in some cases power to control entire national economies, is concentrated in the hands of the few. Now, I dont care how much they are stressed, how hard they try (even if they did try to do anything else apart from filling their bank accounts), if they fuckup, they fuckup good. Just like they did now. And responsability... Please. They should be held responsible, since they hold such a disproportionate amount of power, but they are not. Just look at whats happening now (at least it is happening here). Over the last few years, we had a wonderfull economic growth. Splendid. All the indexes were up, statistics were looking great, CEOs, politicians, managers were all smiling... And all that time, most of the working class lived in appauling conditions. The unions were staging strikes like crazy, and all they managed to get were a few cents here and there on the minimal wage. In short, when there was money, they wouldnt share it. But now, just before the reccesion, they talk about us "pulling together", working longer for less, and saving what can still be saved. They wouldnt share the good times, no. But when the shit hits the fan, they will pack their suitcases full of stolen money from the years of economic growth, and leave us with the debts that they created in the first place.
Then the opportunity bit... You dont actualy think that they are growing and expanding their businesses out of solidarity with us? That we would get new jobs? Theyre doing it for themselves, and thats it. You think that I would be given an opportunity to get the job I have now, if the company wouldnt be sure that they would be making more money off me than they spend on me? And, of course, do you think that the big fish would let us near their positions, just to give us the opportunity to succed? Thats just plain naive. There is opportunity, sure. But not everyone can be a winner. Basic logic: if there are 5 different people competing for 1 job, 1 of them gets it, the others dont, no matter how hard they try. Not everyone can succed in this system. Infact, only a few can.
Oh, and the equipment part... They wouldnt have food on the table, if there were no people that would buy and use their products. That is called a symbiosis. However, I still stand by the position that the CEOs are parasites.

OK, let's address the comments.
First; just how do you propose we "justify" an income? What formula do you feel is "fair" and , if so, why is that fairer than earning the position or whatever system we have now? What makes their income so terrible? Because it is greater than ours?? Is that it? Is that all?
Next; you claim that it is "us" who "put food on their tables". Really? Can the same be said for the person that manufactures the items YOU use on the job? I mean, without them, YOU would not have food on the table, correct? Now, by this logic, YOU are the "elite", no?
Next; we so often hear about all the "bad" things CEOs do. They make countless decisions that affect thousands of lives and, when one or two of them go bad, we are so quick to condemn that whole. Amazing. In most cases, it IS because of these people and their ability that we, the common man, are given the opportunity to succeed. As for education, it is out there for everyone. (At least in the US) NOT every single CEO is a Harvard Business grad. Are there privileged? Certainly. In every country, in all social systems, there are the few. Does not mean that YOU strat could not run a corporation if you so desired. The question then becomes, are you motivated? Do you have ambition? I scoff when I see people going on about how the "little guy" is so abused by the system. Whatever. You can be just about anything you want to be IF you have the drive.
I do not see the Business Leaders of the world as "parasites" They are no worse than you and me. We all rely on each other and I, for one, could NOT dowhat they do. I am not qualified nor do I have that kind of drive. I like my weekends! I like my evenings.

The issue here would be, that even if they work more, it hardly warrants such ridiculously high incomes. Incomes that are made by the entire company, not just that one person that carries his laptop to the toilet.
MM has a valid point. The wages of the beourgeois are really just the tip of the iceberg. With all the incomes that they get, they could have retired at 35 or even before that, and would be much better of than the rest of us, who will have to work until we are old and gray, and get a pension that will barely sustain us.
Than there is the issue of responsability. Yes, they get a lot of shit. BUT they do a lot of shit themselves. As I mentioned earlier, their fuckups are much more serious than ours, and affect all of us. But with the current legislature in most countries, a CEO or a manager that screws something up, will like as not get away with it. And of course their decisions. Outsourcing is a great example. Is outsourcing the jobs somewhere else responsible to the workers that are being outsourced? Yet it is done more and more.
The thing is, that if a bourgeois works 24/7, I dont really care about it. The rest of us still put bread on his table, not the other way around. Even if a person works non-stop all his/her waking hours, its still just one person. Can he/she do more than thousands of others that also provide income for the company, and get a considerably smaller piece of it? Thats impossible.
These people may be visionaries, planners, and whatnot, but the problem is that they are the elite that get to fulfill their visions and dreams. The rest of us cant, because the game forces us to fulfill theirs.
And thats another point: all of us cannot be CEOs and managers. Bourgeoisie is by definition a minority social class. All of us cannot afford the education to get there, all of us wont get the sam opportunities to be at the right plave at the right time, and all of us dont have connections to the elite that would get us there.
All that said... They are parasites. We can do without them. Infact, we were doing quite well without them for decades until the privatisation.

It has become all the rage, (at least in the US), to complain about corporate CEO's and their ilk. It amazes me. Really. I noticed the comment about "working two or three hours" and had to laugh. Of course, I also noticed the equal pay for equal hours bit. *ugh*
To begin with, the CEO of any large corporation is not some guy that has randomly landed the position. He is not some "lucky stiff" that hit the lottery and managed to get the top spot by sheer accident. In order to even get to the level of CEO in a large corporation, one must have a certain level of education, training, experience and a proven track record in management. In short, they earn it. A CEO does not start his day at nine in the morning and quit at noon! The average, yes average CEO, works on a 24 hour basis. Of course, he does sleep, although I cannot imagine how, but business at that level never stops. CEO's work even when they are home. Even when they are sitting on the can!!! I am not making this up. They are on the phone or on a plane or in a car or in a meetings or doing something ALL day and into the night,everyday, including weekends! And let's not even get into the issue of dealing with CONSTANT problems and issues; personnel problems, breakdowns, economic problems, law changes, shareholders..! To suggest that they should be paid for equal hours is just silly. No company could afford it!!
The average working man only sees a brief moment in the life of a CEO, usually when that guy is dealing with some catastrophe. Or when he is leaving his high-stress positon and is (rightfully) getting a large pay-out to leave. These men are TEN cuts above the average guy. They are visionaries, planners, thinkers, creators, decision makers and incredible leaders. The level of stress and amount of responsibility they deal with is beyond comprehension.
It is oh so chic to point the finger at the guy making the "big bucks". Is there abuse? Certainly. That happens at every level. But the fact is, people are paid to "screw in the tail light" and others are paid to make sure they do it. Still others are paid to order enough tail lights while still others deliver them. Somewhere, there is even a guy designing a better tail light! Business is multi-level. Without the people at the top, the people at the bottom would not get that coveted pay check at all! Is there a better way? Possibly. THAT is just ONE reason why CEO's get paid what the do. To find a better way. To create it, plan it, design it, implement it and accept its success or failure. How many average workers are even capable of that kind of accomplishment ? There are many that think they can but are not able to actually do it. Talk is cheap, as they say. Those that actually can do it rise from day-worker "up the ladder", as it were. They earn it. There's that word again. Earn. Funny how that word is rarely used when a CEO is caught in the bright lights of TV cameras while trying to explain why some guy fifty levels below him did something stupid and cost the company millions and now the CEO has to answer for it!! That's right! It is his responsibility, even though he never even met the moron.
As far as I am concerned, people just do not get it. A CEO is far more than some figurehead. They get paid (comparatively) a LOT of money and they deserve every dime. If there are people in the world that feel they could do the job better, my only comment would be to get the education and EARN the job!

UNION UNION UNION....HERES A STORY OR 2 FOR YA......
Years ago when I drove trucks, one of the jobs I had to do for my company was to babysit the GM engine line. I would witness, every time I went in EXCESS on the clock. There would be people sitting on their asses in a break area that would be sittin in the same spot hours later. I have seen people who were supposed to be working who were sleeping. I had to wake a guy up one time and he actually got pissed that I woke him up and he WAS on the clock.
I overheard 2 employees there talking about who the hightest paid person on that plant was. You would think it was the general Manager or someone else in authority. NO, it was a fucking tool room attendant!! He made, I cant remember the exact figure, but it was well in excess of 100K. How did he do it??? By going in and sitting on his ass and extra 20 or 30 hours a week collecting over time because the goddamned UAW said he could do it!!!!!
The smartest thing Delphi ever did was to restructure and shit can the UAW here in western NY. Those guys that are in there now are still making a damn good living in there and it is saying Delphi millions of dollars....
The UAW is half the reason you paid 30 thousand for the 15 thousand dollar car you bought......

For Dow Kim, 2006 was a very good year. While his salary at Merrill Lynch was $350,000, his total compensation was 100 times that — $35 million.
The difference between the two amounts was his bonus, a rich reward for the robust earnings made by the traders he oversaw in Merrill’s mortgage business.
Mr. Kim’s colleagues, not only at his level, but far down the ranks, also pocketed large paychecks. In all, Merrill handed out $5 billion to $6 billion in bonuses that year. A 20-something analyst with a base salary of $130,000 collected a bonus of $250,000. And a 30-something trader with a $180,000 salary got $5 million.
Those are not even CEO'S....
This is from a dec 07 CNN article......
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein will take home nearly $68 million in restricted stock, options and cash, making it the largest bonus ever given to a Wall Street CEO.
Blankfein was awarded $26.8 million in cash and $41.1 million in restricted stock and stock options, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Friday.
Goldman Sachs reported a 2.2 BILLION dollar loss this year!!! Nearly 1/4 of that went to this FUCKS bonuses last year!!

What they DONT deserve is millions in bonuses when their companies are facing bankruptcy or financial crises OR HAVE RECIEVED A FEDERAL BAILOUT. I have MAJOR issue with that practice. Recently big bonuses were asked from CEO's of companies that just recieved a BAILOUT!! They need to BE SLAPPED IN THE FACE. Thats MY money going to bonuses and I DO have a problem with that.
And yes there are CEO's that are GROSSLY overpaid. There are plenty of people who have to answer for this and that in a company and plenty of people who sit on the toilet making calls and solving problems that only make a tiny fraction of what they do....

Very well. I look forward to your response!
It has become all the rage, (at least in the US), to complain about corporate CEO's and their ilk. It amazes me. Really. I noticed the comment about "working two or three hours" and had to laugh. Of course, I also noticed the equal pay for equal hours bit. *ugh*
To begin with, the CEO of any large corporation is not some guy that has randomly landed the position. He is not some "lucky stiff" that hit the lottery and managed to get the top spot by sheer accident. In order to even get to the level of CEO in a large corporation, one must have a certain level of education, training, experience and a proven track record in management. In short, they earn it. A CEO does not start his day at nine in the morning and quit at noon! The average, yes average CEO, works on a 24 hour basis. Of course, he does sleep, although I cannot imagine how, but business at that level never stops. CEO's work even when they are home. Even when they are sitting on the can!!! I am not making this up. They are on the phone or on a plane or in a car or in a meetings or doing something ALL day and into the night,everyday, including weekends! And let's not even get into the issue of dealing with CONSTANT problems and issues; personnel problems, breakdowns, economic problems, law changes, shareholders..! To suggest that they should be paid for equal hours is just silly. No company could afford it!!
The average working man only sees a brief moment in the life of a CEO, usually when that guy is dealing with some catastrophe. Or when he is leaving his high-stress positon and is (rightfully) getting a large pay-out to leave. These men are TEN cuts above the average guy. They are visionaries, planners, thinkers, creators, decision makers and incredible leaders. The level of stress and amount of responsibility they deal with is beyond comprehension.
It is oh so chic to point the finger at the guy making the "big bucks". Is there abuse? Certainly. That happens at every level. But the fact is, people are paid to "screw in the tail light" and others are paid to make sure they do it. Still others are paid to order enough tail lights while still others deliver them. Somewhere, there is even a guy designing a better tail light! Business is multi-level. Without the people at the top, the people at the bottom would not get that coveted pay check at all! Is there a better way? Possibly. THAT is just ONE reason why CEO's get paid what the do. To find a better way. To create it, plan it, design it, implement it and accept its success or failure. How many average workers are even capable of that kind of accomplishment ? There are many that think they can but are not able to actually do it. Talk is cheap, as they say. Those that actually can do it rise from day-worker "up the ladder", as it were. They earn it. There's that word again. Earn. Funny how that word is rarely used when a CEO is caught in the bright lights of TV cameras while trying to explain why some guy fifty levels below him did something stupid and cost the company millions and now the CEO has to answer for it!! That's right! It is his responsibility, even though he never even met the moron.
As far as I am concerned, people just do not get it. A CEO is far more than some figurehead. They get paid (comparatively) a LOT of money and they deserve every dime. If there are people in the world that feel they could do the job better, my only comment would be to get the education and EARN the job!

Thanks Metallian. We really appreciate that. Really. It is also VERY cool that you point out that there ARE differences in our music. That is what I think is our "sound". We try very hard to be sure that the music has our "spin" to it and that it is not a note for note copy of Priest. We purposely do the music our way. Like I have mentioned before, we have never wanted to be Priest, we want to pay tribute to them. It is very important to us that we have our own sound. Besides, I am NOT Rob Halford! Not by a LONGSHOT. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously though, it is very important that those subtle differences are noticable. Thank you.

Yeah thats another thing about floating trems. If you change guage of string then prepare to spend a good chunk of time getting the trem set back up correctly. I run nothing but lights or 9 guage and try to stay with the same size for each string. That way the tweeking is minimal when you change it out.
The best way to avoid having problems with a floating trem is to NOT HAVE ONE!!! lol. I am shit canning this friggin floyd rosed ibanez when all of this recording I am doing now is complete. I've been playing for 30 years and had trems for 27 of those and am sick to death of dealing with them. Good luck.....

thanks for the advice just to clarify things i didnt take all of the strings off i just took the bass strings(EAD) off. Anyway i ended up taking it to my local music store/repair shop and i get it back on thursday. They said it was probably because the gauge of the strings i was putting on were higher than the ones that were previously on there.
It is probably a good idea to avoid comments over there. It seems there are a few very sensitive musicians that do not care for our "success". As for the management position, I should think it is not all that demanding. Afterall, MM is potty-trained now.......HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

guitardude is right..Dont ever pull all of the strings off a floyd rose!! Do each at a time. Floating tremolos are a major pain in the ass. The old Kahlers seemed a bit better and easier to deal with but the floyd rose system, in which the entire unit itself moves, is much more difficult. Do them one at a time and you will keep all of your hair...... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Judas Deth from Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:25:45 PM)

Perhaps live in the same town and have coffee, beer, or dinner with the members of Priest.
Maybe pump gas, mow lawn, fix plumbing, deliver items ect....

*INTERVIEW WITH FAITHFUL DEFENDERS VOCALIST DEEP FREEZE* (Las Vegas, NV) Metal music magazine Old Dude Rock caught up with Faithful Defenders vocalist Mike 'Deep Freeze' Berentsen and sat him down to discuss the forthcoming album, Forged Steel. Following are excerpts from that interview:
ODR: So, where are you guys on the new album? DF: It's is coming along wonderfully. The vocal tracks are all but done. We need a few 'fillers' and some backing vocals but they are pretty much finished. The guitars are also just about completed. We have more than half the drum tracks done, too.
ODR: Is that pretty typical? I mean, do you guys usually do it that way? DF: Oh yes. It is a bit of an arduous undertaking but it all comes together in the end. It is a lot more than just turning on a microphone and hitting 'record'! (chuckles) ODR: Any idea when it will be released? DF:We are still hoping for a end of January/first of February '09. That may be a bit ambitious given the holidays but we are hopeful! ODR: From what we have heard so far, it sounds really good! How about you? Are you happy with it? DF: I am more than happy. This album represents a bit of a maturation for us. The first album was just what one would expect, raw. That is why we called it Raw Steel. The songs were pretty straight forward, hard driving and simple. This time, we decided to step it up a bit, you know? Do something a bit more intricate. We are using Phil's (Metal Meltdown) considerable talents on production. We have taken some risks and done some layering as well as more production numbers and whatnot. Overall, it is a far superior recording and certainly better than anything we have done. ODR: So that adds to the time it takes to complete then? DF: Certainly! It has a lot more to it this time. Like I said, the songs on the first album were pretty straight forward. ODR: You have a favorite song on the album? DF: HAHAHA!! Well, I cannot really pick just one. Besides, I don't want to give away any surprises! I guess Eat me Alive is pretty cool. That one was done as a favor to a special fan! Once the album is released, I will try to pick my favorite! ODR: There does not seem to be as much "hype" for this album as there was before. JP.com seems relatively quiet concerning it. Does that make a difference? Are you worried? DF:Worried? No no! Not really. I mean, I was a bit disappointed but I have relaized that the membership has changed considerably over the past couple years. Besides, this is not a novelty anymore. I mean, we already showed what we are capable of doing on Raw Steel so don't believe there is as much interest from that standpoint. People seem to enjoy the songs and there is some interest. I don't think it is fair to expect what we saw the first time around. ODR: Some have said that you guys should hang it up...that there is really no need to keep doing this. How do you respond? DF: I have no response to that! Well, yes I do. We love what we do. We really enjoy making the music. I think we would do it regardless but I do not see it as though we are a bunch of old farts making noise. The music really speaks for itself. You can't please everyone. We try to do what the membership wants us to do. there will always be someone that does not care for it. ODR: So you are saying you don't listen to the critics? DF: HA!!! Oh yeah, I listen! I know that we cannot possibly appeal to everyone so we do not try, that's all. We have our fan base and they enjoy the music. That is really all we can ask. ODR: Does that mean there is any thought to a THIRD album? DF: WHOA there!! Hang on!! I never said that !! HA!!!!! Actually, we have not even considered such a thing! Let's get this second one out there and we will see!! HA!!!! **MORE OF THIS INTERVIEW WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON**

Although I agree with you in regards to Creatures and maybe Destroyer ( dont know Carnival, was that after the makeup ) I will side with HB and say that Kiss was more show business than anything. The overwhelming majority of their tunage prior to Creatures was mediocre but it didnt matter. Kiss was a live band and will always be. Their gimmick is the stage. You cant see that makeup listening to a CD. You have to be at the show. And they put on a hell of a show. Some of their early tunes were great. Parasite, Cold Gin, 100000 Years, She. All good tunes but She was a direct rip off of a Doors tune!!!!!
HB my friend, you need to listen to Destroyer, Creatures of the Night and Carnival of Souls again. Especially Creatures! So incredibly underrated and underappreciated as a metal album.

Thanks Dude...That just the sound I always have, mic'ed up. It actually sounds better live than on the recording. The bass is just ran thru my guitar processor and direct for the lack of anything else. But it really did work out well with the light chorus effect....
I will be posting more as they get done. The Rage was easy as it came together easy. Still there are things that should be redone in that song.........I hope we did priest proud, though....
Freeze has made it into town in one piece and we will begin the 2nd leg tomorrow in the AM. We will keep everone posted and put some more pics on here.......

Man that is the most kick ass modern vintage sound I`ve heard. I love the bass tone on the intro,but the guitar tone is just over the top. It`s so great to hear an old tune re-done with modern technology. Put me on the shipping list please!!!!! Can`t wait to hear the rest.

One of the nastiess (sp ck) snows I saw here was 38 degrees! If its falling hard and fast enough and the ground is at or below 32, it will stick. We also have 2 giant lakes to contend with that produces nasty lake effect snow. We are approaching the time of year for that. WHen the air is cold enough it will pick up moisture from the warmer lakes, crystalize it and off we go!!

BS, in general, people in the Congress and Senate do vote along party lines. There are the occasional exceptions but, by and large, it tends to work out that way. If I understand you correctly, you are basically asking "how does anything get done?" Well my friend, that is a BIG problem. Bickering and filibusters and whatnot cause a tremendous amount of trouble. Worse, there is so much 'pork' attached to otherwise good bills that they rarely get through in a timely fashion. Politicians have to answer to their constituency and so they tend to try to load up bills with pet projects. Such is the way of the "system".
I have yet to see any one particular politician vote in direct accordance with their party platform in EVERY case. Just does not ALWAYS happen.

And similar members on this same side.....that are not quite as committed? I'm not sure if my point came accross in an understandable manner. But if you have too many points of view within a given party that are in conflict with each other, how can the party make any headroads? I'm not suggesting that the Majority or Minority whip stifles progress. Nor am I suggesting that independent votes cripple the party's stance and principle. However, what I am concluding is that within a given party, each individual must mainatain some form of allegiance with the party that he has alligned with and has achieved membership with. Otherwise, then he or she might as well walk accorss the chamber floor and align him or herself with the opposite party. I hope I got my point accross.

YES....My insiders tell me that all of those are correct they ALL saw it coming!!!
I would like to say this and then make yet another departure from a thread that I am most certainly not welcomed in and one I really dont give a fuck about being in......
Something to think about....
Why did I vote for Obama....Hmmm, lets see......I never cared too much for either Mccain or Obama but I looked at it this way. I voted for Obama because he was black!!
How many women out there landed a job that was traditionally handed to men back when all you saw were men in CEO positions and they, women, excelled at it. Why??? Because they had something to prove to the men in the world, yet they were just as qualified and held the same credentials but because they were women werent given the oppty to do it...but when oppty presented itself they did excel and more and more women were offered those positions....
Obama has a lot to prove to everyone not only in this country but in the world. This is our nations 1st black president and I firmly believe that he will be on his toes and prove to everyone his ability to do the job because everybody is watching waiting for him to fuck up!!! give the man some time everyone before you condemn him. My feeling is that we will all be pleasantly surprised........
You TELL 'em, MM!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!
so Bush "saw it coming",huh?? And I suppose Adams and Madison saw the British coming when they refused to fight Napoleon? And perhaps Lincoln saw the Civil War coming? And Clinton certainly saw 911 coming when he screwed up in Somolia??? You are KILLING me, dude!!!!!!!

Hi all....I know I havent chimed in much on here but I do have to say that this recording will be much better than the previous. I say that because I have been slowly working on these for a month now and it is all coming together nicely. the sound quality is 10 times better, much more clarity than before and with all the time in the world to work with, we will produce a much nicer product. Before, we had to rely on rented equipment and a limited time frame in which to do it in. Now we have flexibility to experiment and get things right.
In addition to the numerous Priest tunes, there will be several original pieces on this recording as well and lyrical contributions from Freeze and Metallark towards those. This will be the 1st opportunity for me as a musician to get the music I write out to those other than those near me. I for one and thankful for this forum to be able to do that. I am also extremely thankful for the level of musicianship that is contributed to this project. You all know Freeze's talent but I have heard what Metallark can do and you will be pleased. We again have the extraordinary talent of Jim Gleason behind the drum kit but we are still looking for a bassist or I will do it!
In summary, you will all like what you hear and I am sure there will be more to come in the future...Take care all....

Thanks, gang! I am very excited about this new album and I know MM is as well. From what I have been told, metallark can really blow so I would anticipate one hell of an album!!!!!!!! Look for a much better quality on this one, not to mention improved talent!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can assure you all that this one will far surpass Raw Steel! And as for you, Guido.....I think MM is handling the tuba parts but, if you play the washboard or the "jug", you are in!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent news on Exciter! I love that song. Do we actually need keyboards on TOE?? I mean, they don't use them live, do they? I cannot recall but I think Glenn just plays the parts.
On another note, Demonizer is starting to come together for me. Still very tough on me vocally but I think we can make it work. Should sound pretty cool.

Demonizer

Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Never Satisfied
Wheels of Fire
Hot Rockin
Touch of Evil
Jawbreaker
Eat me Alive
The Rage
Exciter
**Forever Young** (original)We have another original that we are working on as well as possibly doing Hellrider, Prophecy and Alone. Certainly we would like to do something off of Nostradamus if we can. Being somewhat experienced in doing this, we hope to be able to get all of this material recorded and have time for a couple more.

Are you talking about the screaming part near the end of the song? You can have MM play the notes to the screaming DEMONIZAAAAAAAHHH!!!!! part, and you can say "Out...out...out, demons out!" Sounds weird, but it might work. Just make the guitar extra loud in that screaming part.

The priest sounding one....I was thinking about making it a Priest themed song. Il prete, the full version, didnt work out when I messed with it a few months back so I tossed it. So I think it would be appropriate to have a Priest dedicated original......
The idea I have for the verse melody would be like the melody line in Steeler..... "Waiting like Jackels to sneak up and trick you" Something along that melody line which is not much of a melody line but this is a straight forward metal tune. Lotsa growling....

This said, I would advocate following Rob in the current setlist. Tune down a bit. You hit a lot of my suggestions with this post. Nostra songs. Great. Go low. I think that Nostra songs would be great! Do-able as well. "Some Heads are Gonna Roll" - not that bad. "Demonizer" only hits high at the end. "Night Comes Down" - easy(?) / powerful / beautiful tune. Yeah, I am in a "Defenders" mood.
More to come....

GREAT news!! I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of suggestions from the rest of the membership. Maybe this is just not as big of a deal as the first time we did it? Maybe too many of the "regular" members have moved on or are just apathetic to it all now That is very disheartening, my friends. This project, as with the one before, is meant to get the membershp involved. To be part of it. It is a way that we can come together, as a group, and share in the music of this most beloved Band. I want to be the first to remind you all that this is open to ANY member that wants to participate, and that includes being part of the band!! If you sing or play an instrument, PLEASE tell us! You are welcome to join us in New York.
Having said this, I will now publish my current song choices. These are all tunes I want to get recorded this time:
Killing Machine
Jawbreaker
Eat me Alive
Judas Rising
Hammer and the Anvil
Touch of Evil
One Shot at Glory
Wheels of Fire
Hellrider
Ram it Down
Diamonds and Rust
Hot Rockin
I'm a Rocker
I am Nostradamus
I completely understand what you mean about time. I am fortunate in that time is all I really have! It would be great to have you there but this is exactly why we did the first project..to give the membership a chance to do something together.
Val, I do want Starbreaker on the list and I think Exciter would be great, if we do it like they did on Rising in the East. There is simply NO way I can sing in the upper register like Rob does on Stained Class. I do not have that kind of range but I am sure I can do it in a lower key.

Funny you would mention that, HB. I finally listened to the new material over on AP, with an ear towards doing some of it this time but I find I may need MM with me to do this right. I mean, I have some tremendous inspiration from the music and I did hum a few bars of melody and start some lyrics but the breaks need to be changed or something. It is very difficult to do without Phil here.
I figure I can get a basic melody written and do some lyrics but I do not know if we can get it refined enough in the time I am there. Let's hope so!

We plan to have the same band members so you can expect the same sound. Then again, I do hope to improve on our last endeavor!!!

I will be in NY in early November or December, depending on air fare. The new album should be ready for release after the New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah yes! Wheels of Fire is certainly a lock. I did mention Hellrider to MM over the weekend. I would like to do that one. As far as the Nostradamus tunes, I would like to try one or two.

It seems thats what alot of people are doing is comparing this album to previous albums. What people arent getting is that Priest will never put out another Sad wings of Destiny, Screaming for Vengence or Painkiller. Judas Priest have always searched for a new sound with each album, and over the decades they've gotten heavier and heavier. Now adays bands are pushing to be the most hardcore heavy they can possibly be, and trying to out due the hardcore from other bands and its really gotten lame. Priest has come along way from the late 60's through 70's to really defining what the true "metal' sound was. Blasting through the 80's at BREAK NECK speed, to well sadly crash in the early 90's.Judas Priest continued without the Priest in my opinion until 2004 when he unearthed his throne. Priest has taken metal everywhere, and for a change they wanted to do something big, huge and very musical. Like how Craptallica did the orchestra shit, but Priest did it balls out. Sure alot of the album is slow and balladful, but that was what the album was about, a dude's life. Love, life and death. I honestly think the next album will return to the Heavier sound once again, but they chose to explore through a concept album. And id definetly see this in a concert if i had the chance!

The one song I have here is mic'ed, the slow heavy one that I have dubbed "Indian". I had to play with that thru Cubase's software to get the sound how I wanted it. It took a while to get it just right. If I have only one issue with Cubase LE is that it doesnt have a decent graphic EQ, unless I just havent found it on there as of yet. I am still trying to learn this software. The other 2 I ran direct with the Boss with very little tweeking.
There is something to be said about running direct. I have done it in the past with bands but have always wound up mic'ing to get the feel of the celestions, when I had cabs with them. There is something about celestions and a mic that sounds so good and warm. The sound I got running direct seemed too brittle and harsh with no warmth. For recording, I think its great. But you would need good cabinet simulators on processors to acheive a good tone. I tried my old Tube Works head running direct for this recording and it sounded like total shit with a hum and all. I like this ME50. It does a good job. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guitardude from Monday, September 22, 2008 5:59:34 PM)

You know,several years ago a friends band was doing a gig and they had a issue with a mic for the guitar and they had no spares,so we ran him direct from his head a vinatge Randall RG 100 thru a 412 with the Randall Jaguar spkrs. decent tone for sure,but by going direct his distortion was so in your face intense,he swore to always go direct from there on out. He and the other guitarist started using those Hughes and Kettner red boxes instead of mics. The other guitarist was using a Peavey Triumph 120 head thru Peavey cabs,but I don`t know what type of spkrs were in those.

My software has some distortion effects on it. I will try it to see what it sounds like. I dont want to muddy it up though.

That`s some intense distortion!! Have you thought of adding a traditonal overdrive to what you allready have?
Please don`t misunderstand me here,I really like what you have ,but with an old style overdrive focusing on the lower frequenies,it will thicken it up nicely. Giving you something to play off of when you add a bass guitar.

He wouldn't play at the PNC ART CENTER. I don't think he has ever. To small. The artcenter has an issue to settle when it comes to concerts that have bands that play metal/hard rock. It's the drinking that goes on before the shows. That's why the beefed-up troopers in the parkinglot. Starting the show earlier never would have happened, this does not reduce the drinking, it would have increased it. knocking one of the two opening acts off the bill, or cutting their setlist might be the way to do it. People dying in your parkinglot isn't good. Doesn't matter if it's drugs or booze. Underage drinking is a big problem at these shows, we all did it when we were much younger. They have made it a point to stop it, or at least try to control It. I'm not happy either, but PRIEST isn't gonna be playing MSG anytime soon. So i'll drive the 40 mins. and deal with it.

I had reservations about this recording which I spoke about on here some time ago. But I have to say after listening to this countless amounts of times now, driving my kids and my sweetie crazy with it, that this is the BEST recording that this band has ever done.
A lot of us were looking for an album of Painkillerish barn burners. A lot of us were expecting the natural order, Priest wise, to AOR but what we got people was a piece of perfection that takes Priest into a direction that none of us was expecting. This music has moods, modes, it flows perfectly. I am somewhat taken aback to the writing of this music. I knew tipton and downing to be excellent songwriters but this completely is beyond my expectations.
This recording give us Priest fans everything we could have wanted from them. I dont know how this can be topped......

This album IS different. Is it better than Painkiller or British Steel or Sad Wings? IMO no BUT it is well thought out, well recorded and an overall excellent production. Yes my opinion now differs from a few weeks ago. I stated that I wanted another Painkiller, barnburner, album and was dissapointed in that respect but I change my tune by seeing and hearing everything in this recording.
This is a stage that priest has not stepped on before and it will take time for some to realize the value of this recording and just how good it is. Its different, not bad.........

Oh yeah, Priest is jumping on the prog-rock, concept album craze. Instead of setting the trend, they are following one.

OH GOOD GOD!!!! I havent read back thru all of the post and nor will I but I have stated several times on this site that Al Atkins is/has done nothing but try to make a meager living riding on the coat tails of JP. Who many times has this guy recorded VOC?? 3,4?? He even has an album cover that looks remarkably like the Sin after sin album cover. Hes a leech that just will not let go at all and if I were Priest, I'd sue the fucker for using their name to make his living!!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Metal Jesus from Saturday, June 14, 2008 10:39:55 PM)
Metal Jesus wrote:
Original JUDAS PRIEST singer Al Atkins has completed work on his autobiography, titled "Dawn of the Metal Gods: My Life in Judas Priest and Heavy Metal". The book, which was was written with Neil Daniels — a freelance rock writer and heavy metal fan who befriended Atkins during the writing of Neil's book "The Story of Judas Priest: Defenders of the Faith" (Omnibus Press) — will tentatively be released before Christmas via Iron Pages.
Commented Atkins: "The book is gonna look fantastic! There'll be some really cool photos and shots of vintage PRIEST memorabilia that I'm confident is very rare, like a picture of the first-ever JUDAS PRIEST recording.
"The book will feature contributions from:
* Bruno Stapenhill (JUDAS PRIEST Mark I)
* Ernie Chataway (JUDAS PRIEST Mark I)
* John Ellis (JUDAS PRIEST Mark II)
* Trevor Lunn (ex-JUDAS PRIEST roadie)
* David Howells (Gull Records)
* Dave Corke (ex-JUDAS PRIEST manager 1970-'76)
* Norman Hood (IMA Agency)
"And maybe a surprise or two!!"
Atkins added: "Obviously it's not all about PRIEST: I'll tell you about my old band LION, my travels around Europe and my solo career right up to my latest band THE HOLY RAGE. And that's not all because some of my good friends and people I admire have also contributed like Dennis Stratton, Paul Di'Anno, Jess Cox, Brian Tatler, Johnny Lokke, Graham Bonnet, Taz Taylor and Simon Lees."
In a previous posting on his web site, Atkins revealed his reasons for writing an autobiography: "For some time now, I have wanted to write my own book about my amazing life in heavy metal. Finally that dream has come true; after befriending Neil Daniels, we have come up with some great ideas together. Of course there will be some great stories from my few years in PRIEST but also, loads of info on the Sixties music scene in Birmingham and the West Midlands. I knew bands like SLADE, TRAPEZE and THE BAND OF JOY. I saw CREAM live, befriended BUDGIE and supported ROD STEWART. Also, I was in a band called LION in the late '70s and we supported the SEX PISTOLS and THE STRANGLERS. I also have a solo career and have released five albums so far; my new CD is called 'Demon Deceiver'. It should make for an exciting read. There'll also be loads of photos from the early years of JUDAS PRIEST and pictures of ticket stubs, posters, memorabilia, etc."
The book's description reads as follows: "Al Atkins is the former lead singer and founder of the multi-million selling British metal band JUDAS PRIEST. But where and when did it all begin?
"During the Sixties, when the highly lauded Brum Beat era produced bands such as THE MOVE and THE BAND OF JOY, Atkins played in various local outfits some of which laid the blue print for the heavier progressive sounds of early JUDAS PRIEST. And so it was in 1969 that a disillusioned Atkins decided to have a go at forming yet another band with his childhood friend Bruno Stapenhill. The band in question was JUDAS PRIEST.
"JUDAS PRIEST quickly built up a reputation in the Midlands as a powerful live act and even secured a record deal with Immediate, which was owned by ex-ROLLING STONES manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Unfortunately Immediate folded and so did PRIEST. Undeterred, Atkins formed yet another lineup of PRIEST in 1970 with guitarist K.K. Downing and bassist Ian Hill. At Atkins' behest Downing and Hill ditched the name FREIGHT and resurrected JUDAS PRIEST. Through the early Seventies, PRIEST supported many bands, including SLADE, STATUS QUO and BLACK SABBATH. Lineup changes continued until May 1973 when Atkins finally decided to call it a day.
"Atkins is the co-writer of several PRIEST songs which are included on the band’s first two albums 'Rocka Rolla' and 'Sad Wings of Destiny', both of which eventually went gold. Atkins co-penned the heavy metal classic 'Victim of Changes' which was a combination of Rob Halford's song 'Red Light Lady' and Atkins' own 'Whiskey Woman'. He also co-wrote 'Winter', 'Never Satisfied', 'Dreamer Deceiver' and 'Caviar and Meths'.
"In 1989 Atkins released his debut solo album 'Judgement Day' to great acclaim. But it was 'Heavy Thoughts' and 'Victim of Changes' (the latter being his collaborative album with ex-JUDAS PRIEST drummer Dave Holland) that brought him strong sales and critical acclaim around the world. Recently Atkins has formed THE HOLY RAGE and has shared the bill with ex-RAINBOW singer Graham Bonnet in California.
"In 'Dawn of the Metal Gods', Atkins shares his entertaining life story with the reader. This is not just a book for JUDAS PRIEST fans but a bible for all those wishing to form a band in the tumultuous world of heavy metal."

I have still not listened to the whole thing but I couldnt disagree with MYSELF from a few days ago, more! I am hearing a lot of different shades to this music and hearing different things each time I listen to the few I have listened to. I will devote time Saturday to the whole recording and I can safely say now towards myself....Open mouth, insert foot!!!! This is a great recording!

I hear shades of Stained Class and Sad Wings of Destiny throughout Nostradamus, especially Rob's haunting expressive vocals and the mid-tempo doom of the guitars. But at the same time it's fused with the heaviness and depth of modern Metal. A very difficult and convincing feat!! I've only listened to it sparingly so far and I'm blown away! I can't wait to really dig into it several times. It's definitely NOT background music as someone already mentioned. I sat down last night with my fav beverages and really got into it. So far I rank it in the top six Priest releases! Maybe higher later..

OK.....I am not about to sit and rate each one of these songs especially since at present I am only half way thru the song Death but I have to say that I somewhat recant what I stated the other day about not liking this too much.
I, so far, will NOT call it my favorite Priest recording. that will forever belong to Painkiller but I AM listening to a powerful piece of music. Lyrically, I am going to side, somewhat, with what Necro has been saying. Lyrically to me its a bit silly and would have faired better with a different subject matter, but over all, what I have heard is excellent...........
I think this albums is all going to boil down to an individuals "cup of tea" and weather of not Nostradamus is the correct flavor of tea for said individual....

Of course not. And I am sure, like I said, that this will "grow" on me in time and it is hard to judge without the whole experience.

I just gave each song a brief listen as I didnt want to spoil the "new CD" experience. I ordered the CD and book yesterday. What I heard was different, thats for sure. I must say that I was hoping for more Nostradamus type barn burners more in the vein of AOR or Painkiller but what I heard was excellent. It will, it seems, take time for a lot of us to "adjust" to this direction but I am sure that after a few listens we will all be ranking this as an EPIC recording.
