TOPIC: The Final Tour
[guardian angel] Wednesday, July 20, 2011 4:46:17 PM 
I was wondering the same thing myself.  I guess if they are only playing Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, (nothing in between), then Toronto, Montreal, & Quebec City, they might as well be on the US tour.  The worst part is, I don't see Minneapolis on the list either, so it's a looooong road trip for a show from any of us in central Canada.  Never thought I'd miss a tour.

Ok this is EPIC!  I just got the Into the Pit set AND War of Words for my birthday!  I really am blessed with great friends!  I do however feel sorry for my car speakers...  Going to work today was way fun for a change!

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll try War of Words first.  I have everything Priest and Halford have made, including 2wo, and no Fight.  Go figure.  I did download Fight's Christmas Ride off the Halford site.  That is my FAVORITE xmas tune!  His vocals sound faded into the background though, but still an INCREDIBLE song!  Thanks, I can't wait to...

Halford played an awesome live show when they were here last November!  I would have loved to have heard Till The Day I Die live, since it's the most amazing song I've heard in a very long time.  Regarding Rob, can anyone suggest a good first Fight cd?  I've only heard a couple of songs, and love Just  A Little Crazy, but I'd like to buy a cd and am not sure which one to go with first.  Any suggestions?

Love you guys, thanks for the awesome decades of Priest songs!  Can't wait to see you in concert again!  I, like many fans, am still hoping that you will put out one last hard rocking cd of classic Priest.  Not sure what happened this year, that you are doing a farewell tour and no new cd, but I'll enjoy what I can, and I respect your decision.  And by the way, I liked Nostradamus,it's had many plays on my iPod.  I would have liked to have heard more of those songs live, since there are many gems on there, but maybe you took to heart the negative comments on here.  Keep in mind, many liked it too.  Keep the faith, as I will too, and see you on the road!   
TOPIC: Rob Halford
[guardian angel] Saturday, November 27, 2010 3:01:22 PM 

In searching Rob and opera, I came across this interesting article.  The author sent 5 anonymous songs to a classically trained vocal teacher in New York, to have her analyze the singers.  Rob of course is one of them, and it's interesting to see which song they picked and what she thought of it.  It's always been my favorite song, so I was interested to hear her take on his vocals.  She didn't tell us anything we didn't already know, though.  That Rob is an amazing vocalist, and has a shockingly spectacular range & variety in his singing.  I never get bored listening to him, whether it be Priest, Halford, 2wo, Fight or Christmas tunes!  Thanks for sharing your gift with us Rob! XO  http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2010/07/ask-a-real-musician-5-classic-male-metal-singers/

I just saw Rob last weekend with Halford opening for Ozzy.  It was AWESOME!!!  Rob's pipes sounded great and I would definitely go see them again, if they toured by here.  As for the Opera topic, regarding Rob, I had heard three of our best metal vocalists were talking (or joking) about doing something like the Three Tenors, except it was Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate, and they were going to call themselves The Three Tremors.  I thought that would be great, and I would go see them, of course!  Too funny.

Last night I saw Halford opening for Ozzy!  What a great concert!!  Rob was in fine form, and played Made of Metal, Fire & Ice and Like There's No Tomorrow from the new cd.  He also sang Green Manalishi, Diamonds and Rust and Jawbreaker, which are all awesome!  It was so nice to see that band play, especially since Priest are on hiatus.  Ozzy was his usual crazy self and sprayed foam on the audience whatever chance he could.  All in all, a great show, and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PRIEST HERE!!!   \m/  \m/  Thanks Rob for a great show!

"Too much pre-recorded, over-dubbed crap. There are only so many "I'm so hot, look at my ass" songs one can do before it becomes terribly redundant, no?"  One of your previous comments.  I totally agree with you, and I was just being silly .  It's sickening who gets nominated and who the powers that be tell us we should like, even though they did not create the music themselves, or likely even write their own songs.  That's the way of music today it seems.  The real musicians, like Priest, seem to get overlooked time and again.  I don't care.  I love them anyway, and always will.  I listen to their songs and am amazed at their talent.    I just think it's incredible you get to create your own music too and share it live.  Enjoy it!  I just wish I could sing.  I'm a tad jealous!

I did take him to a music store before Christmas and he was kind of mesmerized by all the stuff in there.  He did get a kick out of trying out the drum kits, but they were adult size.  It's good that you got your son a real kit, because I think people waste their money on those ones from the toy store.  They're not nearly sturdy enough for a kid to pound on.  The only drumming we've done here is on Guitar Hero World Tour.  It gives him a bit of an idea of what it's all about.  I'd like the boys to learn real instruments though.  Thanks a lot for the advice.  I think I'll sign him up for some lessons and rent a kit to see how it goes.  HAVE A GREAT DAY METALHEADS!

Super favorite album, Defenders of the Faith.  It was also my first intro to Priest.  I was scarred forever.  (But also love Sad Wings, Screaming, Nostradamus, and everything else they do!)  Least favorite, but will listen to it occasionally, is Turbo.  I'm trying to collect the Re-masters cds (I have all the vinyl, which I can't play due to a lack of a working player,) and just got Turbo in the mail.  Holy crap.  I can't even describe the cheesy lyrics.  And I seriously can't listen to all of Parental Guidance.  I tried, but it was...just...so....cheeeezy!!!  Yes I know it was "the era", but COME ON.  I think if hey had written those songs for some other american hair metal band, they might have been somewhat successful, but this didn't fit Priest at all.  I like Turbo Lover and some other assorted songs, but there are some un-Priest-like ones on there.  But for what's it worth, I discovered a new one on there, which is the bonus track All Fired Up.  A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!  Priest's 'Ace of Spades'.  What a great little gem!  I can't stop listening to it!  I'd love to hear it live.

I too agree with DF.  I drifted after Painkiller.  Though I liked it, I was going in a little different direction at the time and drifted musically.  I didn't pick up the Ripper era cds because I liked Rob's voice.  Does that make me a bad fan?  It's hardly fair to the other 4 who continued on.  There was just a little something tasty missing in the musical mix for me, and I guess that was Rob's contribution.  Since AOR, I have listened to some of Jugulator and Demolition, and really like Hell is Home, and Cathedral Spires, but to date, still haven't picked up either cd.  Which would you recommend?  I'm working my way through the Re-masters and am getting a kick out of some of the additional songs!  It's like getting something old, but it's new to me.  My number one pick for which album to buy, is Defenders of the Faith, and 2nd, Sad Wings of Destiny.  Love'em both!

Voting members of the Academy.  That's it.  No one else can vote.  To qualify as a Voting member, you have to have creative or technical credit on a minimum of six tracks in a t least one voting discipline, and the album has to have been commercially released in the U.S.  Damn.  I guess that means I'm out.  Well I'm voting right here!  I vote for Priest.  They've had a long & varied career.  They deserve a star on the walk of fame too.  We should also name a star after them.  Perhaps the evening star.

Yay, Priest have been nominated again for a Grammy!  I wonder if they'll get recognized this time, for the many decades of music they've put out.  It's unfortunate that there is only one real "metal" catogory.  It makes it near impossible to truly honor the many bands and types of metal that are out there.  When the generic "Rock" category includes Rock, Hard Rock, and Metal, it's hard to compete with the Linkin Park's of the world and the popularity of their type of music.  Look at the sheer number of catogories for Pop music!  Best vocal, best male vocal, best female vocal, best duet, best album, best song, best haircut, best barely there outfit, etc, etc, ad nauseum.  Well to h*ll with them all, I'm cheering for Priest!  Dissident Aggressor is an awesome song!

Oh Holy Night sounded cheesy when I listened to it initially, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it's lilting quality.  It's a good sing-a-long!  I don't find We Three Kings dreary at all and it's one of my favorite songs.  I love Get Into The Spirit, and Emmanuel too.  Great songs!  In general, the more I listen to the cd, the more I am enjoying it.  Especially since it's looking a little more like Christmas around here.  I appreciate not being forced to listen to pop or (shudder) country Christmas songs.

I wonder how much the opinions are coloured by the album that opened your mind to Priest for the first time.  Defenders was my first foray into the Priest world, and it is one of my most listened to cds.  I kind of compare everything to that, because that to me is classic Priest.  I am still ecstatic that once I discovered them, I had this whole crazy catalogue to wade through!  I am also grateful that I have had so many new Priest albums to get to know since then.  Not too many people can say that about their favorite bands.  By the way, it started snowing here today, nothing serious, we don't need the national guard yet (lol), as a result I've been listening more to Winter Songs, just to get into the spirit, so to speak.  I must say, MAN, that  Oh Holy Night is modest yet incredibly powerful!  I am really warming up to the whole cd.  Sadly, my least favorite is the last one, Oh Come All Ye Faithful.  To me it sounds like it's trying too hard to be grand.  Whereas Holy Night is unassuming and comes off very very grand.  It just needs to have the synthesizers removed altogether from the song.  Seriously, liking the cd!  Ho ho ho!

I can't speak for everyone on the forum, but ultimately, I like the variety in their discography.  I do like Nostradamus, but I agree that this would be the time, if ever, for them to put out a serious british metal offering.  I would love to see something along the lines of Defenders of the Faith mixed with Angel of Retribution.  And I don't think the other 4 members of Priest would appreciate being lumped in with the Winter Songs thing.  That was a Halford deal, something Rob wanted to cross off his bucket list.  I just think that doing the British Steel revival tour right after releasing a new album, was bad timing.  I think a short Nostradamus tour to promote their new material and a summer British Steel tour would have made more sense, but hey, I'm not in the music industry, what do I know.   I just hope to hear something awesome before they hang up their axes.

That's funny you should say that.  TSO was just here and I just bought the cd with Wizards in Winter on it for my obsessed boys!  I've had quite a few listens of Winter Songs now too, and there's one more song on there that reminds me of something else.  It has a similar vibe to Billy Idol's "Yellin' at the Christmas Tree" off of Devil's Playground.  I also have difficulty with the tinkling  from Holy Night.  Maybe some more listens and I'll get over it.   My faves are still Get Into The Spirit and my all time favorite and kick*ss version of We Three Kings.  I wish he sang at my church.  Maybe Rob, Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate will do their Three Tremors cd/tour idea one day.  That would be crazy!  Three phenomenal singers together making some beautiful operatic metal.

Yes, it's definitely nice to be able to listen to something online or YouTube, to give you an idea of the direction of the music.  That's how I found I liked some of Rob's 2wo stuff.  I really like I Am A Pig and I love Deep In The Ground.  I still have Fight in my back pocket, for when I feel I need something new or different from my favorite vocalist.  Haven't quite gotten into that yet.  On the other hand, I didn't need to think twice about Halford - Resurrection.  I picked that up the minute I saw it & loved it.  Same goes with anything Priest.  I do think they like the artistic freedom of trying new things.  Despite the fact that some fans don't like it.  It's just the way it goes.  At the end of the day, they have to enjoy the songs they're playing, otherwise it's a long tour.

If you really think about it HRMG, Priest are rather insidious.  By creating a library of music that has a feel for all seasons and occasions, they've essentially created a one-man-show.  Why listen to any other band when you can get it all here?  How funny is that?!  These guys are evil geniuses!  I still like listening to other types of music (classical, techno, industrial, etc, but not country, unless it's old style like Marty Robbins), but putting anything Priest in the cd player, and it's like coming home.  It fills my soul with peace.

You know folks, I've been mulling this over, and I still can't figure it out.  I don't know if it's really a gay thing.  I mean only 1 of the 5 is, and these days, does anyone really care?  I think these guys are so talented and take lots of chances as far the direction of their music.  If I can say anything, maybe those other bands stuck to the formula that works for them, and people know what they're getting and are more comfortable with that.  Priest is always evolving & challenging themselves.  And THAT is precisely what appeals to me about them.  They have music that covers different moods and vibes, but their style & flavour still comes through.

I just read the Blabbermouth article and the posts too and I agree with the poster who said one of the reasons it might only have sold 1,400 copies, is that it's near impossible to find unless you buy it online.  I had that same problem here.  It didn't help that the HMV by my place was under construction and the entire music section was curtained off and you could only buy video games, dvds and....books???  Apparently the HMV music store is now selling books.  Move over Chapters & Indigo, you have competition.  Ridiculous.  So basically, if the music stores put the cd out on their "New Releases" shelf along with the crap on there of artists I've never heard of, maybe this would have sold more copies.  I am TRYING to get into the spirit....

I am hearing your vibe brother!  I agree that Turbo is no Painkiller, but it fit the era at the time, which was California hair metal.  Hmm...What was big back then.  Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, Cinderella, etc.  That was the mood.  I like quite a few songs on Turbo, but I definitely saw it going in a different direction than Defenders of the Faith.  (Which is my all time favorite Priest offering.  Probably due to it being my first.)  As for Halford, he has put out some phenomenal music with his solo band.  I have to say I am incredibly disappointed that Judas Priest listened too closely to the complainers of Nostradamus and in the end barely played a single thing off their new album, which they poured months of work and soul into, then kept it in a drawer.  ???  I am feeling let down that they couldn't even play the song Nostradamus, (or Alone or Persecution) live.  Such awesome powerful songs, and to think I may never hear it live.  I apologize, none of this has anything to do with this topic.  P.S.  I am thrilled to be having a metal Christmas.  Thanks Rob!

What do you think of Sun on Crucible?  That is the gem on that cd.  I don't know what it is about that song, but it's spectacular.  And he doesn't scream during any of it, it's pure singing and carrying a note.  I just LOVE it.  Definitely on my list of Top 10 Favorite Songs EVER.  (I even tricked my husband into liking it by playing it, and THEN telling him who it was!  Heehee!)  I can't say much about the Ripper era, since I drifted a bit musically during that turbulent time.  I do however like Hell is Home quite a bit, and Ripper definitely has pipes.  But there's just something about Rob.  He doesn't imitate anyone and he's got voices within voices.  I met him once after the Painkiller concert, and he was a sweet gentleman!  While giving him a hug, I took a deep sniff of his leathers!  Good times.. Back to Winter Songs, I love their version of We Three Kings, it ROCKS!  And Get Into The Spirit KICKS!  I am deee-lighted to have METAL for Christmas and during our frigid ridiculous winters.  I am disappointed that the 3 released songs were removed from YouTube, because now I have to wait until next week to hear the songs when I buy the first copy of Winter Songs!  Old people, stay out of my way!  I will knock you over.

I have to say I feel the same way.  There are great songs on virtually every album Priest has made, and some duds too.  I think the weakest offering was Point Of Entry, though I love Heading out to the Highway and Solar Angels.  It has a different feel to it.  More Arizona, than British steel mill.  I personally like that they have the balls to try new things and not get stuck in the AC/DC every album sounds the same rutt.  Don't get me wrong, I like AC/DC too, but throw in any album, it doesn't matter.  You'll get the same sound.  I came on board during Defenders of the Faith, and that is my most listened to album/cassette & CD.  Oddly, next most listened to is Nostradamus.  I like it.  Not every song, but most of them.  I also love Sad Wings & Sin after Sin, Screaming, etc etc.  Every offering has something awesome on it.  As for Winter Songs, I like what I've heard, and Rob can sing about toast and I'd likely love him more, but quite frankly, we need to have some metal over the holidays.  It can't all be Bing Crosby, Madonna's Santa Baby, and the church versions.  THANKS Rob for filling the void!

I would like to see Nostradamus in it's entirety.  I agree that a full tour is completely unlikely, and unfortunately, would not be as well received, however there are still fans out there who like this album, who see it for what it is (a fine Priest offering with some mega gems on there), and who would like to see it performed live.  I can only hope that they strategically  plan them in places that most people can reach without having to turn over their paycheques for the next 2 months.  Rob, Glenn, KK, Ian & Scott, you guys did an awesome job with Nostradamus, take the complaints with a grain of salt, as I'm sure you do.  Not everyone wants the next 40 songs you write to be rehashes of Painkiller.  I appreciate you're keeping it fresh with a touch of nostalgia!

I vote yes for a Nostradamus show.  I want to see them perform it live.  I would enjoy seeing the whole thing live.  Great piece of work!  Thanks fellas!  I STILL love listening to it.  And yes, I too would still go see them if they sang commercial jingles all night.

A recording of them warming up their instruments would be just fine.  A collage of soundchecks around the world.  Anything they do is fine with me.  They have come up with something a bit different everytime and that is part of the appeal for me.  When the new cd comes out, opening it up and spinning it for the first is like opening 10-12 new presents at Christmas!  Each a treat in their own right.  I really enjoyed the grown up sound of Nostradamus, and anything saluting the last almost 40 yrs of Priest would be grand.  As long as they're enjoying themselves, it'll come across in the recordings.

TOPIC: Would you like to hear all of Nostradamus live?
[guardian angel] Thursday, November 13, 2008 4:55:36 PM 
I would love to see Nostradamus live in it's entirety!  Excellent cd and some good variety in there too.  Although, I hate to admit it, I don't think it would be as big a draw as Priest playing their older stuff.  Lots of people I talked to prior to their show here this summer, were only interested in hearing the old stuff.  I wouldn't be surprised to see them play select cities for a short tour of Nostra.  I hope they use a map and pick cities that are accessible for most of us.  We do have one of the newest arenas..Something to think about fellas!  Great sound here and we're central...

No contest.  Rob Halford.  He's got a variety of range, moods and voices that is unmatched.  Freddie Mercury, Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate are right up there too.  So when are we ever going to hear from the 3 Tremors?  That's a show I'd love to see!

[guardian angel] Friday, October 31, 2008 2:55:23 PM 
Wow, Rob is something else, isn't he! Thank you Rob for sharing the gift of your beautiful voice! I like most of his work, including some gems off of Two-Voyeurs, my two favourites: I Am A Pig and Deep In The Ground. Awesome songs! Don't much from Fight except off YouTube, sounds raunchy! Off of his two Halford efforts, I love love Resurrection, Silent Screams, Twist & Drive, but the whole cd is great. From Crucible, I love Crucible, Weaving Sorrow, She, Trail of Tears & the amazing Sun. Tremendous song! (Am just rediscovering this one...) But wow, he's outdone himself with Nostradamus. A true masterpiece. Thanks for that!
TOPIC: Nostradamus; The downfall of Priest
[guardian angel] Friday, October 31, 2008 9:46:56 AM 
No. NO..No...Uh...yes. Well first impressions by lots of people I talked to was that Nostradamus was self-indulgent & pompous. Even a terrible review here in the paper, though it was a combination review with Motley Crue's new Saints in Los Angeles. How the two even compare...Well they don't. I used to like Crue more in my teens, but I feel I've long outgrown their drugs, party & pussy themes. Priest is on a whole other level, where I don't think Crue's really evolved that much, and certainly not lyrically. They are who they are. Bless'em. That first impression by the guy writing the article didn't do Priest any favours whatsoever, at the same time RAVING about Crue's SILA. After more in depth listens, the true Nostradamus is shining through as nothing short of a masterpiece. It has a few Vegas-y moments, but this is one of my top 3 works of theirs. It's amazing and I can't get enough of it! I am actually quite happy that they released it in a double CD format and didn't cut it down to one CD, so that you can get MORE. It goes to 11. I also agree that their promotional people SUCK and I can say confidently that I never hear any Nostradamus on the radio and very RARELY ever hear JP at all. Occasionally it'll be You've Got Another Thing Coming. How sad. I will definitely see Nostradamus if they play here or near here, but I agree that it will likely not be as big a draw as their Priest Feast tour. JP are very underrated. I read in a bio about them that they keep "playing to the same 10,000 people" (or whatever the number was) and they don't know how to change that, well...Maybe better promotion and video choices. I don't know. I'll just keep raving about them to friends & family & playing the music subliminally in the background when my boys are in the van enroute to soccer practice or a mall trip! (My 4 year old is a Halford fan already & both ask for Love Bites. Reminds them of the music in Bowser's Castle in SuperMario World!)

TOPIC: "Death" reminds me of "Black Sabbath" but better
[guardian angel] Wednesday, October 29, 2008 5:04:18 PM 
I was never a fan of this song & would (gasp) skip over it. It has since become one of my most played songs on Nostradamus and I just love it. Yes it does sound like Black Sabbath, but this is JP playing and Rob singing, therefore I love it more. Lots of atmosphere in both songs & tremendously doomy & gloomy. Rob just sounds very maniacal when he ends his verses with the crazy mental screams! He delivers it bang on.
TOPIC: Your favourite monster metal song from Priest
[guardian angel] Wednesday, October 29, 2008 4:50:44 PM 
I came on board during the Defenders of the Faith tour, but have since accumulated their entire discography with Rob. (No offence to the Ripper era, it just wasn't the same without Rob, but I did like Hell Is Home.) Anyway, my monster metal faves from Priest: Persecution, Death, Some Heads Are Gonna Roll, Dissident Aggressor, Hell Patrol, Rapid Fire....Well..the list goes on. Lotsa monster metal songs to be found! Something for everyone. (An aside, another amazing MONSTER song, Silent Screams, from Halford.)

Just ordered Painkiller & Ram It Down. Waiting anxiously at the mailbox everyday at 11:00am! I love the RID cd cover. This is what happens when you have their whole discography on vinyl. Have to get the cds now, but thanks fellas, for the added songs on the re-masters. It hurts a little less!

Hello fellas! Thanks again for the show in Winnipeg, it was...Haaallelujah..Awesome! I heard you would be touring to promote Nostradamus in 2009. Does that include some shows in Canada?? The sooner you post those dates, the sooner we can all start saving up for it! Please, please consider Winnipeg, or something REALLY close to it. Naah...It has to be Winnipeg!......By the way, I hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow Glenn, and on Monday for you Ken! Best wishes to you both! XOXO

TOPIC: Hair raising moments on Nostradamus album
[guardian angel] Sunday, September 21, 2008 3:38:21 AM 
I agree with all of Angry-Rocker's hair raising moments, but I want to include the psycho demented screams in Death. "And I will be your last regreeeeeeet!" "Tearing - every soul apaaaart" "Welcome to my rituaaaaaal". Gives me the shivvies just thinking about it! Yes definitely the italian parts "nella tentazione, cercando la gloria..." I also love the organ part in Persecution just prior to (and including) the super fast "They will not eradicate me, break my will or suffocate me. I will subjugate the hate that they breed". When I listen to it, I picture Glenn playing a crazy old organ up on a pedestal, and rocking it back & forth, a la Deep Purple. (I think that's who I saw rocking a keyboard during a song...Maybe I dreamed it..) Then Rob breaks into his rapid fire lyrics. How can you not love this band?? I'm really quite bananas about them. There is no comparison. So much talent and the balls to go where they want to musically, despite virtually no airplay on the radio & little promotion. Gee, who's in it for the fans and the music. Thanks Rob, Glenn, Ian, Ken & Scott! From the bottom and the top of my heart. XO.

I love Sin after Sin and Sad Wings of Destiny, though Defenders and Nostradamus have probably had the most listens over the years (months for Nostradamus). The more I listen to it, the more impressed I am. I didn't think much of the song Death, but now, it's as though the messenger was once a vocal virtuoso, but now twisted and demented, bringing chills down your spine. Monstrous CD!

I just ordered.....(wait for it)...Point of Entry.  I have all the Priest stuff on vinyl, all the way up to and including Painkiller, but since I have no vinyl player anymore, I'm working my way through the cd library now.  Have almost everything except things like the Hero, Hero double set, and some live stuff.  Haven't listened to Point of Entry easily in about 15 years.  But I must say, I have never seen a JP skin for the GH guitar!  That is cool!  Now I have another reason to search eBay.  Thanks for the pics!

Sorry about the cancellation NZ, but OMG!!!  Just came back from seeing the mighty Priest play in Winnipeg, and they were amazing!!  The setlist was the same as what MapleSyrup mentioned in this thread, and I was very impressed by the band!  In a way I'm disappointed it's over now since it'll likely be another 3+ years before I see them again. Unless they play somewhere closeby for the Nostradamus set.  They mentioned in a radio interview that they would do shows of the whole CD in 2009, but I can just imagine that it won't be in all the places they're playing now.  That CD is amazing.  Love it!  Thanks for the awesome shows boys, you impress me time and again!  See you soon.
TOPIC: Discuss the new Album
[guardian angel] Friday, July 11, 2008 11:29:06 AM 

First off, I just want to thank Nikitah Imani for your post.  I completely agree with you.  If the band doesn't challenge themselves musically, then are they just in it for the money??  That's the impression I get.  I'm still trying to figure out what the heck has drawn Judas Priest so close to my heart!  Part of the appeal is they've covered so many different styles, so if I feel summery and want to listen to something light, I can throw in Turbo.  If I need to be more aggressive/assertive, I throw in Defenders or Painkiller.  If I'm feeling old school, then I throw in Rocka Rolla or Sad Wings of Destiny (one of my all time favorites).  I have all of the Priest catalogue with Rob Halford, and though I've listened to Priest with Tim Owens (ie, Hell is Home) I can't bring myself to get into those CDs.  Which really isn't fair to the rest of the band that kept slogging away while Rob was off doing his thing.  So basically the band has created an entire discography that covers virtually every mood you might be in, which is in effect GENIUS but also tremendously DIABOLICAL!!  Why go anywhere else, when you get it all here.  (Except for country of course!  Which I'm not enamoured with, though I don't hate it.)  Nostradamus is just the icing on the cake really.  I love classical music, and have been to musicals and Vegas shows, so to have a heavy metal, or better yet, Priest version of a heavy metal opera to listen to.  AWE-SOME!  I was a bit leery about the whole idea at first, but who the h*ll was I kidding?!  IT'S PRIEST!  What's not to love!  I've been listening to these 2 cds for 2 weeks already and can't get enough.  I have thrown in a little Halford (Resurrection) and some old Priest just mix it up a bit, so I don't od on it, but essentially I wake up with Nostradamus tunes in my head and go to sleep with them swimming around up there.  Thanks a lot guys! 

I am very excited about the band coming to Winnipeg, however, I am mildly disappointed to discover that it won't be the full on Nostradamus show.  Now I'm trying to figure out where the full shows will be, and how much it's going to cost me to fly there!  I hope they do some Canadian Nostradamus shows, or even Minneapolis.  That's a short jaunt for us and maybe I can convince the hubby and boys to come out with me.  Either way, the concert will be awesome and I am so glad they are coming back again.  

Thanks for the brilliant new cd boys!  It is a masterpiece!
