I was a bit disappointed I must say to find that despite all the fans requests, not just on the last poll but for a long time in the past, Judas Priest have still not given this monster its dignity by playing live. Even more so, during the last round of touring they introduced the show with Battle Hymn, yet instead of doing the sensible thing to follow though with the song, they launched into Rapid Fire. If I'd been a fan not following setlists regularly and heard this I'd have been really excited thinking I'd hear this song live for the first time, only to get pissed off by instead hearing it launch into Rapid Fire. Does anybody else feel really strongly about this song that it must be played live at last? It'd be the perfect concert opener. On a side note Death should be back in the set as it's a sort of must play.

We've had a lot of DVD's from various tours but this still seems like one key tour in Priest history that has not yet been represented in form of DVD. While the Operation Rock N' Roll Tour shows were short on the setlist, the tremendously powerful live sound they had on this last stretch of the Painkiller tour was just bone crushing. One of the shows that clearly stands out on this leg was the Middletown 08.16 show which still surprises me that it hasn't come out on DVD, despite many fans' praises and claims of it being the best Painkiller Tour show. If Priest are reading this we could really go with one of these, with an all-teeth-bared style Priest.

Can anybody direct me to some great Southern Rock? I dunno whatever happened to the thread on it that was available a while ago. I know so far Raging Slab, Blackfoot & ZZ Top. Any other suggestions?
[Screamin' Demon] Saturday, June 11, 2011 12:01:18 PM
My favourite would be:
Battle Hymn / One Shot At Glory
Metal Gods
All Guns Blazing
Demonizer
Devil's Child
Breaking The Law
Metal Meltdown
Death
Saints In Hell
Angel
The Hellion / Electric Eye
Eat Me Alive
Freewheel Burning
Sinner
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
Wheels Of Fire
You've Got Another Thing Comin'
[Screamin' Demon] Friday, June 10, 2011 1:49:24 AM
Are other people also disappointed that Priest not only didn't take our request to play One Shot At Glory even though the overwhelming majority here voted to hear it, they even rubbed it in our faces by playing the Battle Hymn intro and then opening with Rapid Fire. Normally I ain't one to bitch about such things but I consider that a slap in the face to us fans.
[Screamin' Demon] Friday, June 10, 2011 1:43:43 AM
I'm not usually the one to bitch but...wouldn't it make sense if you guys opened the shows with One Shot At Glory? I mean the song -was- voted by majority of people on this board as a must hear, and yet not only do you guys not play it, you even give that Battle Hymn intro to give the illusion that it will be played and then play Rapid Fire. Please Priest change it to One Shot At Glory you know we all want to hear that number.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, June 08, 2011 2:00:18 PM
I gotta come out n' say honestly that I believe Priest's selection of songs from the Painkiller and post-reunion albums is really weak. Painkiller, Night Crawler, Judas Rising and Prophecy is what we have on this tour. I was hoping for something more like Painkiller, One Shot At Glory, Demonizer and Death. How can it be that they Include Turbo Lover while not these. As someone said a coupl'a posts ago, I can see that maybe the setlist was getting boring to KK to play. If it had been up to me I wou. I really hope that they change up their setlist soon and listen to the fans in regards to these songs. So far the Priest Feast setlist seemed to be the most stable setlist that they ever played.
[Screamin' Demon] Tuesday, June 07, 2011 8:56:08 PM
I just saw the first video of the song Rapid Fire with the Battle Hymn intro. I gotta say that is REALLY mean towards the hardcore fans thinkin' they're about to hear One Shot At Glory n' then they hear Rapid Fire. The setlist is quite crazy and fun tho, otherwise.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, May 18, 2011 7:21:15 PM
Basically I opened up two windows for paint, to a good extent drew a white thick line bordering on edge of my body both sides, and slowly erased the background, then pasted the picture of me without any background against the flag and whited out parts on my shirt which got the flag's colour on them as a result of having no colour. Had I sat for hours perfecting it I could have done a greater job but that will come another time. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Wednesday, May 18, 2011 1:49:42 PM)

[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, February 16, 2011 10:35:56 PM
For an opener, I really hope they do One Shot At Glory. That Battle Hymn is perfect for a Judas Priest concert intro. And the song's flow is perfect for an opener. Anyone agree?

So, what do you think the guys of Priest will do after they've played the final concert of the Epitaph tour? Unless they go to the studio to record one final album, here's what I think will happen:
Halford: This is easy to think of, he'll continue with his solo project for a few years more until he thinks he's too old.
Tipton: Might make a solo album or two and then retire, or he might retire immediately after the tour is finished (after all, he's the oldest member of the band, turning 65 in 2012).
Downing: A hard one to think of. He hasn't released any solo albums, and so far hasn't declared any interest on making one. He could collaborate with Tipton and make an album with him, but most likely he'll just retire.
Hill: Another tricky one. Again, might collaborate with other Priest members, but might as well retire.
Travis: Another easy one, concentrates on Racer X again, the band probably gets more active when Travis is no longer occupied with Priest duties.

Sinner

Wheels Of Fire

It's exactly 7 years of reunion today. Since then we've had a mini tour in 2004, a kickass album & full tour in 2005, a double disc concept album & gigantic world tour, 2 live DVD's and 2 live albums so far. Well done Rob, KK, Glenn, Ian & Scott. Looking forward to more bone crushing metal music next year.

I'd nominate the Middletown '91 show for DVD if they released one. I think but am unsure, that the reason they don't release a DVD from that tour is that this was a very dark time for Rob. He felt very distant from the band and unappreciated. It seemed like a time he didn't want to be in it. Ironically, the very last show of the tour and he gets knocked off his bike by a riser. Anyways, I would love a DVD from that tour but I can understand why they may not release one. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Thursday, February 11, 2010 11:41:13 AM)

Sounds like a bit of a rip off designed to extort more money from their fans without actually offering anything new. A dvd of Priest on their 1980 BS tour would be more like it. Maybe an audio cd of their SFV tour and a dvd of the Painkiller tour. Why are they flooding the market with junk now when they are well past their peak.

Right, You Could Be Mine was a bad example. I'm talkin' about their songs like Perfect Crime, Right Next Door To Hell, Garden Of Eden, Double Talkin' Jive, Shotgun Blues. So yes, Guns N' Roses had an extreme side to rock, even though it wasn't all they were about. And to conclude, if someone your own age did this same thing, gut instinct tells me you'd be handling it differently. I don't get butthurt, I just don't sit there and take people's shit.

I wouldn't say that I'm anything of a greatest vocalist in the world or anything as such. I don't consider the Painkiller album such a bitch to sing besides maybe Leather Rebel and All Guns Blazing. At the moment, I am not taking everything full on because all my money is going towards something else that I have been working on so for now I haven't got the funds to be putting up ads, buying recording equipment and programs for it and such. My long time goal IS to precisely do what you said, to put up newspaper ads and make demo tapes, but that will take place around October at earliest when I have money to do so. So rather than doing nothing for now, I thought that this was somewhat of a wiser decision. And since not having any way to record myself etc etc, I simply described myself from what people who have heard me have typically mentioned. It's not any kind of self-rating, but the best possible description based on others' feedback. Of course, there's ads in newspaper to look at as you may have suggested but I don't want to join another existing band. Instead, I want to start fresh, to find players one by one, each time making sure that I've found someone who shares the same musical direction as me.

I'll do this in a rather unusual way. I'm trying to form a really extreme hard rock band. I am a vocalist, with vocal influences from Rob Halford, Axl Rose & Billy Idol, primarily. I sing with a really strong rasp, and screechy or heavily raspy as well if I am screamind, I can sing most of Judas Priest Painkiller without a problem. My genre of music is hard rock but the extreme side of it. Song examples include Gn'R songs such as Double Talkin' Jive, Perfect Crime, You Could Be Mine & Don't Damn Me, Skid Row songs like Slave To The Grind, Get The Fuck Out, The Threat and Livin' On A Chaingang, as well as Motorhead songs like Ace Of Spades, Burner and Rock Out. I currently have a guitarist but willing to replace him as he hardly puts in any time to jam, and all others like a second guitarist, bassist & drummer are also needed. I have a great band name already in mind as well as several sets of already-written song lyrics as testament to my style of music. If there are any instrument players in Sydney who are interested in such an act, please reply to this. I'm after a lead guitarists with a bluesy but aggressive style (no dark metal stuff), a rhythm guitarist with a huge chop behind his rhythm to add ballsiness to the tune, a bassist that plays a guitar along the lines of fender bass, and a drummer that is explosive and can occasionally throw in a double bass as a flare, rather than general rhythm.

The entire albums focus was to release a Live CD FULL of songs that have never been released on a live CD with Rob.
Thats why there is no Sinner, or Exciter, or Demonizer (never played live) or anything like that, because its all been released before.
So far the only bonus tracks I know of Angel (Russian) and Worth Fighting For (Japan).

The entire albums focus was to release a Live CD FULL of songs that have never been released on a live CD with Rob.
Thats why there is no Sinner, or Exciter, or Demonizer (never played live) or anything like that, because its all been released before.
So far the only bonus tracks I know of Angel (Russian) and Worth Fighting For (Japan).

I'm just listening to the album ATOE Live. There are two things that really get to me about it. One is that virtually over half the album is a partial repackage of the RITE DVD, in audio form. The other, a greater bother is the amount of tracks. The fact that songs like Hell Patrol and Sinner, which were played live duging their last tour and kicked ass, are not on the album really leaves you wondering "WTF". I certainly was abominated with no Hell Patrol on this album. Freewheel Burning is also too good. Would anybody else support the idea of the album's rerelease with bonus tracks? I would say a list like this would be great if they ever do....
Judas Rising
Hellrider
Between The Hammer And The Anvil
Riding On The Wind
Hell Patrol
Death
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Dissident Aggressor
A Touch Of Evil
Eat Me Alive
Prophecy
Freewheel Burning
Sinner

They should make a variety, but with a heavy undertone to it. I say a few songs like Judas Rising, One Shot At Glory, Hell Patrol and Hellrider, a few more straight-forward rockers like Jawbreaker, The Sentinel, Deal With The Devil, maybe another evil song like Death, A Touch Of Evil (But IMO Death is just perfect in its right, in a live setting), a ballad perhaps and PLEASE another badass-rollin-on-the-highway song like Wheels Of Fire. I hope the sound will be very heavy and have plenty of double bass drumming in the bruiser songs and hopefully plenty or screams from Rob too.

I'm into singing and use a heavy rasp like Axl Rose & Billy Idol back in 1991, as well as raspy high pitch screams like Rob Halford on Painkiller song (If someone can send me an instrumental of Painkiller I will prove it) and I found my singing style, as well as intrigue in the devil as a Rock N' Roll icon suitable to call myself Screamin' Demon. The original idea for the name came from this monster truck.....

That reminds me of Axl Rose who STILL thinks his band is Guns N' Roses. Just about EVERYBODY knows it's not Guns N' Roses and he still insists on claiming its Gn'R *facepalm*
The most pathetic thing about it all is he promotes his solo band through visuals and audio of Guns N' Roses which they have NOTHING to do wtih. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Thursday, November 19, 2009 9:58:17 AM)

I'm not against any particular song off British Steel being played. I just don't fancy the entire thing being played. There are so many great unplayed Priest songs...especially the much heavier bruisers by this lineup. Would you rather hear all of British Steel again or hear some heavier tracks like All Guns Blazing, Leather Rebel, Metal Meltdown, One Shot At Glory, Judas Rising, Demonizer, Hellrider, Death...
[Screamin' Demon] Thursday, September 24, 2009 1:41:52 AM
Fuck that. I hope they do a varied list with some more fan favourite songs, instead of playing the whole British Steel album. Maybe a setlist with highlights like One Shot At Glory, Eat Me Alive, Judas Rising, Demonizer, Saints In Hell, Freewheel Burning, Death.

Would anybody like to see a bonus tracks rerelease of A Touch Of Evil Live with some tracks taken off the upcoming DVD? At least all the evil ones like Rapid Fire, Hell Patrol & Freewheel Burning. That would make the CD more like...
Judas Rising
Hellrider
Between The Hammer And The Anvil
Riding On The Wind
Hell Patrol (Bonus Track)
Death
Rapid Fire (Bonus Track)
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Dissident Aggressor
A Touch Of Evil
Eat Me Alive
Prophecy
Freewheel Burning (Bonus Track)
Painkiller
I'd buy it for sure. There is a lack of musical transition between ROTW and Death as well as Death and BTROD. FB would also be cool to put in between Prophecy and Painkiller to raise the tempo.

IMO, the best side 1 of all the JP albums to date belongs to Screaming For Vengeance (SFV); with the best 1,2,3 punch of Hellion/Electric Eye, Riding On The Wind & Bloodstone following with a terrific (Take These) Chains and closing strong with Pain & Pleasure. Shoot, even side 2 is perhaps the best side 2 of JP's catalogue - SFV, You've Got Another Thing Comin', Fever and Devil's Child - this album is strong all the way through.
Now, British Steel (BS) and Painkiller are very close and strong as well; I would go with BS as having the best side 2 of the JP albums - You Don't Have to Be Old To Be Wise, Living After Midnight, The Rage and Steeler (the best closing song out of all of JP's albums).
Painkiller is great too and was tough to put 3rd; Painkiller and All Guns Blazing are so strong that these 2 songs alone put this album as one of the top 3 best side 1s, but with BS opening with Rapid Fire and Metal Gods, then going into the big hit Breaking the Law, with the awsome Grinder and anthemic United closing out the side, you have to go with BS at #2, and really close to being #1.
This my opinion. What is yours?
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, August 30, 2009 1:35:41 AM
Maybe their next album can be a bit more brutal? Has anybody heard those deep devil growls Rob does on Painkiller on A Touch Of Evil Live? I think all these nu-metallers need something real to slap them in the face. Having an album full of double bass drumming, searing guitar solos, rhythm guitaring with a sound sharp enough to slice you in pieces and a range of vocals by rob to send a chill down your spine including his strong rasp, his trademark scream and some more of this brutal devil voice he has capacity of doing.

Scott joined Judas Priest in around summer-autumn '89 so that could be September. The guy is an amazing drummer and it would be really nice if Priest throw him a party or announce it to fans or something. It's been 20 long years since Scott joined and I think he definitely deserves some kind of special occasion. Without him Priest would never be as amazing as they are today, studio or live. He leased a whole new life into the band which will never die. Well anyways from me...Happy 20th anniversary Scott, whenever it comes! You are the god of drums!

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

I hate to sound like an ungrateful fan, but it seems that it'd be real bitchen to play a mini suite off of Nostradamus like Sands of Time/Persecution instead of Death or Prophecy like they're playing now. The build up from Sands to Persecution would be a real killer way to start a show, as opposed to Death, which just seems anti-climatic in a way (to my ears)... Prophecy being played live now-eh...not my favorite, and practically everyone I've talked to thought the chorus was pretty hilarious at first listen. I'm "biased" here, as Persecution is probably one of my favorite Priest songs ever, even if I can't sing along to half of it, LOL! It's just so freaking strong. This live album is growing on me though, most likely the "high" I got off of seeing Priest recently.

I ain't much of an Iron Maiden fan but no nobody cared when Paul left Iron Maiden, Bruce only came in and made it better.

He's not even fit to lick the METAL GODS boots, who does he think he is singing one of his songs? The other thing about this that really pissed me off is when the guitarist on the left started moving his guitar up and down like Glenn and KK do and Paul looked over at him and started laughing. Assholes..... song by a "friend" of mine? In my book, you don't treat your friends with disrespect and mock them. But you got yours Paul.... look at where you are playing and the crowd you are playing to, HA!
He's just pissed that Rob Halford IS and ALWAYS will be THE METAL GOD!!! Everyone knows who Rob Halford is and what an incredible voice he has, whether they are fans or not. Paul Di'anno WHO??? I don't remember anyone crying for HIM to come back like we all did when Rob left Priest.

I think Priest have done really well since their reunion. They've released 2 albums, done a short reunion tour, full blown AOR tour, a mammoth Priest Feast Tour including a leg of British Steel 30th Anniversary & playing at festivals in Japan in October...totalling to 297 played gigs by the time they finish that. They released a live DVD & a live CD. They are still planning to do a Nostradamus tour (hopefully short) and Rob did state that the next Priest release will be a real strong heavy metal record (as his gut instinct tells him). What more could we expect of the mighty Priest? Yes they are definitely as good as Iron Maiden I would say, so rock on Judas Priest Edited at: Monday, July 20, 2009 7:22:01 AM

Great that they put Hell Patrol back in the set. Now if they can just remove The Ripper & Victim Of Changes and replace them with Sinner & Death that would be awesome.

This is how you write a review of the show (newbies)! from Metal Setlists.com:
Now it was time for Judas Priest. They are to play the 1980 album “British Steel” in its entirety. A front drop with a silhouette of the Birmingham, England steel factory was put up during the set change. The lights were killed and a laser show of a mill worker pounding steel was shown. Curtain down, we have “Rapid Fire”. It was intense. The Metal God Rob Halford appeared, dressed in denim and leather and sporting a blonde goatee.
Priest ripped through the album flawlessly, yet found a way to make a heavy album even heavier and more metal than it was in 1980.
But of course, there was more. After Priest got through the nine-song British Steel set, they went right into “The Ripper”. They followed with “Prophecy” from the “Nostradamus” album before closing with an incredible showing of “Victim of Changes”. Halford hit the final high notes dead on. It was amazing.
The band left the stage for a few minutes and then we heard the revving of the Harley (which has only eight stage miles on it). He comes out in all leather and performs “Freewheel Burning” on the bike.
The night ended with “You've Got Another Thing Coming” as security allowed the crowd to get closer to the stage.
As usual, guitarists Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing were tight. Scott Travis makes playing some of the hard and fast song very easy and Ian Hill hung back while laying down the bass.
The stage was simple. Two Union Jacks flanked the drum riser. Travis’ double bass had the British Steel album cover on it along with the backdrop. Part of the rig lighting was shaped like the Priest cross logo which was very cool.
I came into this show with high expectations from both bands and left beyond amazed. I will have to put this up there as one of my all-time favorite shows. Job well done by all.

What I find extremely abominal is they didn't put Hell Patrol on this CD. I don't get why. They KNOW how much Judas Priest fans love that song, they know it's one of the fans' most favourite songs from this tour and they didn't put it on. I REALLY hope that somewhere down the track they expand this CD to maybe two to four more songs (Hell Patrol, Devil's Child, Exciter, Sinner).

I gave it a few listens again and gave it a bit better rating..maybe like 7.5 out of 10. I think it's a decent live album...it is after all what it's entitled...A Touch Of Evil Live. It certainly does have more of an evil overall sound to it. It's certainly very heavy. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Tuesday, July 14, 2009 11:59:55 PM)

I just listened to the new live album "A Touch of Evil Live". Say what you will about the RITE tracks, but I'm actually kinda happy that I now have a mini-RITE to put into my CD player and listen to it during my breaks at work. Still sad that they didn't include "I'm A Rocker", though.
Dissident Aggressor was a big highlight for this CD (at least for me). Very heavy and intense from start to finish, and Rob's powerful scream at the end puts the icing on the cake. Beyond the Realms of Death is very beautiful by itself, and A Touch of Evil (the song) is also great to hear without the visuals of the DVD.
Prophecy + Between the Hammer and the Anvil + Eat Me Alive=COOL!! Almost feels as though I'm back at Devore when I hear the songs from 2008!!
The sound in general is crystal clear and the crowds in the songs were awesome!! Oh, yeah, and the pics in the album jacket are a huge plus.
Overall, I give it a 9/10.

I just bought and listened to A Touch Of Evil Live. After taking a full listen, my response to it is going to be bittersweet. The quality of the recordings is superb and nothing less than Priest's standards. Though, there is a huge difference in sound in songs from 2005 & 2008. The ultimate disappointment is the fact that 6 of the 11 songs are just touched-up versions from Rising In The East on which Rob sounded tired, strained and unable to grasp that mid-range growl. Listening to the new songs really shows how refreshed the band is since they hit the road in June last year. Between The Hammer And The Anvil, Death, Dissident Aggressor, Eat Me Alive and Prophecy all show a revitalised and a hungry Judas Priest. Death in particular raises my hairs. Rob has truly come back a hero on this Priest Feast tour and is now an unstoppable leather clad brute. The tracklisting however is too short and too many mindblowing tracks like Hell Patrol and Sinner feel sorely missed. The album is worth a buy, but overall nothing special. I find myself preferring to listen to fan filmed footage on youtube than to listen to the album. My rating 6.5/10 Edited at: Sunday, July 12, 2009 1:51:50 AM

The fact that 6 of the 11 songs are from Rising In The East is a slap in the face to us fans. They've been working on this album for MONTHS and THIS is the result? The first disappointment came when they said only 11 songs, now it's like paying $20 only to hear 5 new songs. I'm doubtful whether I will buy this or not, but nonetheless, if this album flops, Priest will have nobody to blame other than themselves. Yes I can enjoy lsitening to the album, but it's paying for a whole album when only half of it is new stuff.

I think that essentially why ACDC is such a well known band or so famous is because it has a double legacy, all in one band. It's very rare that you can replace the singer and still be that good. Bon Scott was more Rock N' Roll, Bryan Johnson is classic to hard rock. Personally I prefer Bryan Johnson because he's one of my vocal influences (As well as Axl Rose, Rob Halford, Ozzy Osbourne & Dave Coverdale). His voice has not only the high pitch but a gritty sound to it.

2 more years to wait for this next studio album from Judas Priest.The rest of this year will be playing the British Steel tour and next year 2010 will be spent touring Nostradamus....and maybe at the tail end of 2010...they will begin working on the new album for 2011.

While the setlist is pretty fine, I'll give my impression of it all. I think the entire tour, playing all of British Steel is slightly nostalgic, something that Rob said Judas Priest will never be. They're playing only one song from this lineup...Prophecy. Nice to see electric Diamonds And Rust, as well as the bone chilling Freewheel Burning. Does Scott play it with double bass like he did with Fight in 1993/1994? A bit disappointing to hear the set is only 70 minutes long, more songs would be good. Something heavier would be great like One Shot At Glory or Demonizer or something. Edited at: Thursday, July 02, 2009 6:08:59 AM

Just got back tonight from the Indianapolis opening night for the North American tour and I have to say that Priest is very impressive in concert. This was my first Priest concert ever, so I guess they made an awesome first impression on me. I've been a long-time fan, so this was a real treat. Unfortunately, I've never had the British Steel CD (got most of the others), so there were a few songs I didn't know (that's going to be fixed real soon, tho). But I did enjoy their entire set.
I was a bit disappointed that not all the seats were sold - I sat in the back (best seats I could afford) and had a terrific view of the band (row MM - not too bad in a small venue) over the 4 rows of empty seats in front of me. I considered moving up several times, but decided that I'd rather have the good view than be smushed up against the rest of the crowd. Even though it wasn't jam-packed, the crowd was very loud and I think the band fed on that energy. They performed tunes from many of their albums. I can recall hearing Victim of Changes and The Ripper (Sad Wings), Diamonds and Rust (Rocka Rolla/Sin After Sin), lots of British Steel (maybe the whole album), You've Got Another Thing Comin' (Vengeance), Freewheel Burning (Defenders), and Prophecy (Nostradamus).
Loved the show - Rob was in rare form, getting the audience into the show in what I'd guess was typical fashion, doing his calls to the audience, then getting us to repeat them. Watching Glenn and KK trade off lead on various songs was just incredible, as I've always been in awe of their talents on the guitar. How they can get their fingers to move that fast on some of their faster songs (like Freewheel Burning) just amazes me. And Ian was so into the show - it was great to watch Rob and Ian perform together while Glenn and KK did their thing on center stage. And Scott was terrific on the drums, showing off his talents (and keeping in time, even when the audience began clapping far faster than the band).
Rob changed about 3-4 times during the show, going from his first leather outfit with vest, to another similar suit, then later to a full suit with helmet for the Nostradamus song (complete with staff), and finally to a biker suit when he rolled onto stage on the motorcycle.

Judas Priest, please reconsider releasing the album as you intended to. Most Priest fans already have RITE DVD. Why rerelease the song on ATOE live? You played Painkiller so much better in 2008/2009. I especially love how Scott did a teaser before playing the song. We the fans beg you to put a better version of Painkiller, and to lay off RITE stuff. It's not fair to us fans. Most of us already have that DVD and would like to hear better versions of what you played in 2005 and, if possible would love as much material to be from 2008/2009. I think that for most of the 2005 stuff, Birmingham show was the best. I had a few drinks yeah, but I think this is about right. Some much better versions of Painkiller include Budokan, Mexico & Buenos Aires 2008 .Any other fans agree with me? Edited at: Sunday, June 28, 2009 8:27:23 AM

Scott may not be a vested member, nor is the guy an original member. But he is the definitive and true Judas Priest drummer (and I wouldn't wanna see anyone else behind the Priest drum set), he's one of the greatest heavy metal drummers there is and without him there would be no Painkiller, or Angel of Retribution. He's made this band so much better and took them to intensity levels never achieved before his arrival. We're very lucky to have him as a drummer for Judas Priest. Next record I hope that we may hear some more spine crushing drumming (as well as screaming and growling vocals by Rob, searing guitars by KK & Glenn and heavy bass by Ian)

They should do something along the lines of Painkiller, War Of Words & Angel Of Retribution, maybe slide in a bit of the Ripper era style into it. Give it heavier drums with lots more double bass, searing guitars and that heavy driving rhythm, screaming vocals by Rob and lots of bass too. I remember reading in the Heavy Metal Painkillers book the title of the chapter about Jugulator being Painkiller times two?? Yeah right hahaha. Well, I think all us fans DO want the next album to be Painkiller times two. Songs such as Painkiller, All Guns Blazing, Metal Meltdown, One Shot At Glory, Judas Rising, Hellrider and Death would be good.

Hmm that IS a good question. Even though I don't own Turbo, neither do I own Ram It Down haha. Nostradamus has at least a couple of really great songs. Death and Visions are sensational. Prophecy and Persecution are pretty fine too. And even the title track Nostradamus is much more enjoyable than anything on Turbo. Never was into the glam thing, but I'm not exactly into all this piano and orchestra thing either. But I'd say Nostradamus.

When I realised the Painkiller on A Touch Of Evil Live is from Rising In The East I was pretty shocked. I just don't get why 'Priest would do this to their fans. Watching Painkiller on that DVD was very painful, it didn't quite sound up to its top notch, neither vocally nor instrumentally. And now 'Priest are releasing it yet AGAIN, in the form of audio, on a live CD which is supposed to be UNRELEASED live tracks. Nothing less than ironic if you ask me. The whole idea that Painkiller will be from RITE kills my entire desire for this new live album. There were so many great versions of this song played last year & this year, most notably Mexico City and Buenos Aires, that I can't believe they're releasing a mediocre version which at this point was played well over 4 years ago with a poor sounding performance. How could you 'Priest If Priest is reading this, they should most certainly take consideration of this fact and perhaps change it over for a better version. Even Beyond The Realms Of Death is from that DVD. If Judas Rising, Hellrider, Riding On The Wind and A Touch Of Evil are too..I think a lot of people won't be able to help but shake their head in dismay at the big mistake Priest would have made in that case. Bring on a better Painkiller!!! Edited at: Saturday, June 13, 2009 11:10:51 AM

Hopefully. Though just the fact that Painkiller is from Rising In The East really ruins it all. There are so many great versions of Painkiller from 2008 that this is an abomination. I've come to think that maybe this album could be a cash grab rather than a genuine attempt to please the fans, cause otherwise they would have put a 2008 version of Painkiller.

This definitive lineup has been established in 1989, but the 2 times that I saw Judas Priest last year I couldn't help to think it would be awesome to add in some of those legendary old fashioned concert moments to the shows like guitar and drum solos. Rob already and for a long time has been doing his vocal solo before You've Got Another Thing Comin'. Scott does a little teaser for Painkiller before launching into it but that's about it. It would be ass kicking to see him once again doing a huge drum solo, with his up to date drum skills which he's been gaining ever since. The shows kinda seem that they just nail song by song with little room between the songs and could use an awesome drum solo. I think a drum solo before Painkiller including the teaser intro would be a great choice. Edited at: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 3:37:20 AM
Well what I find him wrong about saying that is he then turns around and slanders gay men. Sexuality wasn't made to be exploited or ridiculed. Gays and lesbians aren't that way so that we can make an evaluation or judgement whether it's good or bad. They're that way because that's who they are, and making a rating or demotion of it in my opinion is just wrong. Everybody is capable of loving another person, who's to say that one's way of loving is better than another's based on sexuality? People who typically go "Oh yeah I think it's so wrong when 2 guys do stuff together, but 2 girls is hot" are just about the worst kinda narrowminded people with a self-important mentality that something is alright only if they like it.

My only slight shock with the new album is there is no Hell Patrol. I keep my fingers crossed that they will release a deluxe DVD from this entire tour...of a typical Priest Feast concert, then bonus tracks played from British Steel this summer, then a disc with a full Nostradamus show.
I doubt they'd spend too long playing Nostradamus album. I'd bet they will do a select few venues around the world to play it. Still...it would be something epic to witness. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by wheels50 from Thursday, May 28, 2009 7:03:34 PM)

(from everything I've read) They're hammering down the details to start touring Nostradamus live and in its entirety.

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. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Thursday, May 28, 2009 7:14:39 AM)

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.

'Priest announced that they are releasing a new album of 11 previously unreleased live tracks. However, 3 of those have been released live on CD during the Ripper era. In your opinion, is Ripper owed an apology by 'Priest for stating they haven't released a live album with him, or do you think it's understandable for them to ignore the Ripper era ever having existed?
[Screamin' Demon] Tuesday, May 26, 2009 4:53:45 AM
Despite not having any radio hits, I think this is 'Priest's finest. This album perfectly displays the energy and intensity the band wanted to achieve by moving in this heavy direction back in '89 with the arrival of Scott. They have achieved that and this album will be sentiment to what 'Priest are truly about, at their purest.

“We are going to start the whole show with ‘Rapid Fire’. That’s the intent. We discussed it and we felt, because this is such an exciting and important moment, why don’t we start the show with British Steel? Play the entire album and then go into some of the back catalog. I just imagine in my mind, the first thing you hear is that great opening of ‘Rapid Fire’ which kind of roars in with a combination of guitars and that snare drum roll.

Like a lot of others, I don't think there should be a full blown Nostradamus Tour, but I largely welcome a mini tour of up to 30 dates, for select venues around the world. It would be perfect to add it as the last leg of the Priest Feast tour, after this North American tour, and then release a multi-disc DVD of the Priest Feast Tour, including a Priest Feast show, plus a full Nostradamus show and maybe some interviews and bonus backstage footage and the story of Nostradamus etc. But I definitely think they should do a number of select venue dates to play the album in its entirety.
When they say unreleased live tracks are they referring to tracks that have never been released on a live album? If that's the case, I hope the album will have a good number of songs by this lineup, like Judas Rising, Hell Patrol, Death, Hellrider, Painkiller.

Would it be possible to create a poll section on this forum? It exists on mygnrforum. It'd be cool to have something here for fun, so that people can vote in their prefered songs or whatever really, so long as it's musically related?
Not quite most. Personally I don't mind this setlist now, it's a pretty cool one. But it just comes a little ironic. Besides...if out of a setlist of about 18 sngs they had like 8 that were by this line-up...that still leaves plenty of room for Sinner, Dissident Aggressor, Hell Bent For Leather, Breaking The Law, Metal Gods, You've Got Another Thing Comin' and maybe a few other songs.

Looking at Nostradamus, I took a look at the best two songs off the album under the criteria that they aren't drowned in symphony or synth or any kinda crap as such. Prophecy was the other one which had the same criteria but obviously it isn't that great as the first two. So, which song hits you harder? Death or Visions? Death is one of the all time greatest doom metal songs, the more evil twin of Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath the song. It is without doubt a must play song in regards to a 'Priest setlist in concert. It is a great metal step forward for the band. Visions on the other hand, is testament of the band's still endless capacity to make hard rock based songs. Visions is a very groovy song, great both on drums and especially guitar despite its slow moving pace. It's a song that really makes your heart beat high in optimism and almost makes you induce all the erotic love feelings you've experienced in your life in a split second. So, which do you see as the better? I will vote for Visions, and may this be heard live on the next US tour. Edited at: Friday, April 24, 2009 7:19:02 AM

That's the way JD. And although Nostradamus may not have hit as hard as AOR did...the Priest Feast is one of the best tours this band has made, never before have they been so hungry to blow us away with such amazing shows. Plus, as far as Nostradamus album goes...hey at least you can say we got a new bone crunching essential Priest song....Death. Other than that, one of my favourite Priest songs has also come on this record...Visions. I'm sure their next album will be something bone crunching. Nostradamus isn't bad...they gave us something very epic which when listened to from beginning to end...is quite amazing. Now let us see them do a mini Nostradamus tour after the US tour and then back to a true Priest record. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Could this be due to the fact that it is no longer an official Ozzy release? Edited at: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 4:30:32 AM

1- British Steel is one of the indisputable classics, EVEN though it isn't (and by far in my opinion) their best album.
2- A tour of Nostradamus, and here I'll speak for Europe, would be a flop because general interest to see the whole album played live (as in, a Priest show with no classics and no Painkiller) is well below encouraging.
3- While Rocka Rolla is a great record, Rob can't reach half the songs he sang in there anymore, my friends, and we have to accept it. And singing Run of the Mill without thoser god like screeches at the end would be murdering a fine masterpiece in my opinion.
4- On the same note as the previous point, British Steel is WAY easier to sing overall, and is more adaptable to Rob's current voice. Besides, it's an album that'll have the crowd singing along, and then there'll still be time to put in something else from the classics and even a couple of tunes off Nostradamus!
That said, I think the Nostradamus tour will be delayed ad aeternum. Some dreams are just meant to be dreams, I am a huge fan of the album but I have to admit it wouldn't do them any good to insist on touring the whole of it.

Mine are all the songs from the definitive lineup and why not...it is what Judas Priest wanted to sound like. Mine include Painkiller...so fast and furious, Visions....such a great deep love song, Death...now there's a defining bone-crushing tune from 'Priest, and One Shot At Glory...such a glorious sounding song.

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.

AOR was grossly unpromoted. They promoted Revolution and Worth Fighting For which quite frankly say nobody cares about as metal songs. They should have put Judas Rising out as a go-for-the-throat-return-of-priest kinda song, and put Angel out as another great ballad, and Wheels Of Fire as a very radio friendly tune. Talk about Nostradamus...they promoted War which although being a nice song, isn't what you'd want promoted for 'Priest. Should have done a music video for Death. Still...I hold thumbs up for hearing Wheels Of Fire live at some point. Same goes for One Shot At Glory. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

This is one of my favourite 'Priest songs now. It stands strong right next to Painkiller. A new song for the 'Priest greatest hits catalogue. It's truely a 'Priest definitive song. It is reminiscent of Black Sabbath's song Black Sabbath itself, however more evil, more doomy. I love the doomy bells and the hums, mixed with razor sharp guitars, and Rob's mental screams. The chori are very well composed, especially the ones where he is singing about Death riding out from the storm, in a panicky and despairful setting. The solo is purely amazing and bone crushing, great job that KK did there, and topped off by Scott's double bass, who does his hooks and grooves explosively through the whole song despite the song's slow setting. And my favourite thing about this song... how amazing they perform this number live. I've been youtubing this beast and it just blows me away, what an amazing song to experience live. Deservingly, the song is growing strong amongst 'Priest fans and most that have been to a concert will boast how mindblowing Death was. I'm sure every last person on this person will agree this song MUST be included in every 'Priest setlist. And here is one live version of it that blows my mind, live from Argentina Luna Park in November 2008:
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, March 25, 2009 4:07:37 AM
Question is...what will be the remaining songs in the setlist? Of course we will get songs like Electric Eye, Angel, Death, Painkiller, Hell Bent For Leather and You've Got Another Thing Comin' because they are must-play songs. But that still leaves room for another 2-4 songs in the list if they play a setlist of about 17 songs or slightly more. I'm putting my hopes out to One Shot At Glory, All Guns Blazing, Metal Meltdown, Judas Rising, Demonizer or anything else fast and furious from THIS lineup. Maybe even Nostradamus song.
you will never get people to just post in the way you want on the net. some dont folow direction, others dont read direction.

Not much has been said lately about the Nostradamus tour. Judas Priest did on numerous occasions announce the tour will be done around later 2009 (back of summer by Rob, which would fit into the August-September category). Personally I think it would be garbage to can it. They've only played 2 new songs on the Priest Feast tour because of promises that they will perform the album in its entirety in 2009. I'm sure many fans have been looking forward to it. So put down your votes, please don't post more than once in here because this is meant to see how many votes we can get on the forum as we are the hardcore 'Priest fans.

It did only say though that all of British Steel will be played on the US tour. Maybe that's just it. And then hopefully Nostradamus tour. It'd be stupid if they give up Nostradamus tour. I think a lot of fans who have been looking forward to this for so long would be pissed off, including myself. Hopefully this full British Steel shows will be for US tour only and then Nostradamus tour in August/September like they said...at the back of summer which is about that time.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, March 18, 2009 1:04:40 AM
Since British Steel will be played in its entirety on the US tour...does that mean we will still get the Nostradamus tour this year? That would be rather kickass. A US tour with all British Steel songs plus some other stuff, then followed by Nostradamus tour...unless they wanna play Japan / South America / Australia again after US?
[Screamin' Demon] Tuesday, March 17, 2009 4:31:35 AM
If they do that why don't they just do it with an album that best represents this lineup: Painkiller. But fuck it, I'd hate to see 'Priest do any of that. Just keep movin' forward...make more albums, play some of them on tour with old classics and new classics (ie. Angel & Death) and so on. I don't want 'Priest to turn into 'Maiden or anything as such that is regarded as nostalgic.

I find Metallica to be totally monotone and uncreative. The only time I ever spent any money on them was buying Master Of Puppets, and I gave that away to my house mate because I hated it. Metallica is the most overrated band. Dave Mustaine is fine where he is, Megadeth at least is cool and has some creativitiy to them. Couldn't see Metallica being invited to play with 'Priest

[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, March 04, 2009 7:47:46 PM
So many thoughts have circled into my head about the Nostradamus tour such as "What will it look like, how long will it last?". Personally, considering that fans only got to hear 2 songs from the new album so far on the tour, I think it would be fair if they did a proper mini tour (Europe, North America, Japan, South America) without extra second legs, but on smaller, more special theatre-friendly venues. Obviously not as many fans will want to see them do that as they are now, but some special more intimate smaller venues would serve very well for the tour, let's say a venue with a capacity for about 1000-2000 people. As far as what it will look like, as I read the booklet for the album, I couldn't help but to pay close attention to the pictures behind the lyrics, would be great if they incorporate those exact images for background wallpapers, the one about the Four Horsemen is the greatest. Rob has said he can't wait to get into the costumes and make-up for the tour so that is sounding more than promising. When they play the Four Horsemen section (War, Pestilence And Plague, Death, Conquest) I would love to see Rob changing costumes in each song, accordingly to the character, maybe this time get the Death outfit and the sycle. As for the music, I'd like it a lot if they incorporate guitars a lot more prominently than on the album, for this would after all be a live concert so it would help to metal it up a bit more. Still, one wouldn't doubt that a keyboard player would be more than necessary, Don Airey perhaps? Only thought that troubles me is...how will they finish the set? I'd hate to see the set close with Future Of Mankind. I'd prefer to place it between New Beginnings and Nostradamus. After all, the setlist needs to close energetically and not all soft and fading out. I'm sure 'Priest have already got it laid out what they will do for Nostradamus tour but why not speculate and discuss. Edited at: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 7:50:16 PM

Is that possible to email them? Cause if so I definitely think that should be done. I say fuck if it's in the middle of the tour. Death should be a permanent Priest song. It's dynamics and style have earned it a place for a song which must be included in any 'Priest setlist, hasn't it?

Everytime I listen to this song, I have my own little music video going in my head. At the beginning of the song, I picture the Grim Reaper (or at least Death from the Four Horsemen in the picture book) on the skeletal horse, stealthily appearing as the church bells ring. He would be singing the first few stanzas (since they seem to describe Death itself and its job in the first-person narrative) from the outskirts of a town whose people are suffering from the plague. He sharpens his scythe as he sings and watches the souls of the dying. Rob/Nostradamus would be in that town, warning the arrival of Death, singing "Messenger of Death...wields the scythe of Man's damnation..." and "Death rides out from the storm...". He announces his prophecies to frightened citizens of that town, while the rest of the band, his assistants, play their instruments to back up his words. When the Twin-Axe Attack begin their fast solos, Death spurs his horse and rides into that town, wielding his scythe, lowering the blade and slashing the sickly souls, giving them their eternal rest. At the end, as Rob/Nostradamus repeats the last lyrics, Death reaches the town's boundaries and slows his pace, feeling his job is now done. As the song fades, he vanishes as quietly as he arrived.

This would get much better reception than the mediocre combination of War & its video clip. Death is pure bone crunching metal, great tune, evil as hell.

Rob/Nostradamus would be in that town, warning the arrival of Death, singing "Messenger of Death...wields the scythe of Man's damnation..." and "Death rides out from the storm...". He announces his prophecies to frightened citizens of that town, while the rest of the band, his assistants, play their instruments to back up his words. When the Twin-Axe Attack begin their fast solos, Death spurs his horse and rides into that town, wielding his scythe, lowering the blade and slashing the sickly souls, giving them their eternal rest. At the end, as Rob/Nostradamus repeats the last lyrics, Death reaches the town's boundaries and slows his pace, feeling his job is now done. As the song fades, he vanishes as quietly as he arrived.

A few songs per day. Rarely listened to it as a whole. I just took a relisten today and it seemed awesome again, I've started liking it again but if this whole thing gets played live...I hope they inject guitar more into it and assist it, rather than lead it, with synth etc. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Tuesday, February 24, 2009 10:18:28 PM)

What would you like on the new live album, considering it possibly spans the tours from 2004 to today. I've taken a look at all 3 regular setlists for those tours and have constructed my own wish list. Songs I would hate to see on the album would include Diamonds And Rust (we do have angel), United (Yawn), Turbo Lover (Synth metal song on heavy metal album?), I'm A Rocker (ok...), Revolution (What is this?), Worth Fighting For (boring). I wouldn't mind anything off Point Of Entry but could do without it. I hope it has plenty of this lineup's songs especially Hell Patrol, Judas Rising, Hellrider and Death, oh and that special beautiful ballad Angel. You can only fit so many but I would love something like this:
Dawn Of Creation / Prophecy
Metal Gods
Eat Me Alive
Between The Hammer And The Anvil
A Touch Of Evil
Judas Rising
Devil's Child
Breaking The Law
Hell Patrol
Death
Dissident Aggressor
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Angel
The Hellion / Electric Eye
Rock Hard, Ride Free
Hellrider
Victim Of Changes
Sinner
Exciter
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
Living After Midnight
The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)
You've Got Another Thing Comin'
The band has 36 songs to choose from, to put onto 2 CD's. This is what I would view as an ideal list, I doubt it could be more perfect than this. Voice your wish setlist. (Yeah I'm quite bored, but it does help me to talk about my favourite band) Edited at: Friday, February 27, 2009 5:50:51 AM

If the Nostradamus tour is only going to be a short one, as somebody from the band mentioned that it will be special selected venues, it means there isn't a prosperous chance to see the band playing the full album live. It would have been better for them to have inserted more new songs into the set. Persecution, Alone, Visions and Nostradamus would all be great live, especially if beefed up and played more on guitar than on the synthesisers etc.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, February 25, 2009 11:36:22 AM
Not so much surprised. Just rather disappointed in the band. It's like "WTF? They already toured Europe, why tour again with the exact same setlist?" I saw them last year, twice, in Toronto 08.13 and Sydney 09.12. If they came to Sydney again I doubt I would see them unless they played something else.

Right on about the band members Moving further in line with this topic, I think Priest should do something very ballsy, an album chocful of pure bone crunching metal, with a bit of a medieval and fantasy beast land feel to itself, much like Saxon nowadays. Into The Labyrinth (their new, ass-kicking album) would be a great inspiration for Priest. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by icecreamman from Monday, February 16, 2009 5:48:15 PM)

If they're going to include tracks from 2005 as well, who's to say they won't include 2004 The list of songs played from 2004-2008 is huge. We're safe to say it will be a double CD album as every Priest show is well over 80minutes. Take a look at all the choice of songs they can choose from to fill up over 2.5hrs of music into 2 CD's (starting from earliest songs to latest)
Victim Of Changes
The Ripper
Sinner
Dissident Aggressor
Exciter
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Hell Bent For Leather

I have seen the live Vengeance '82 DVD. What I was trying to say is that Wheels Of Fire has a more aggressive musical approach than Devil's Child. Devil's Child has this crispy golden sound to it, and flows through pretty efficiently. Wheels Of Fire is heavier, and has a rhythm you can really headbang to. It's only filler on the AOR album because the band's management stupidly didn't promote it. IMO instead of Promoting the mediocre Revolution and Worth Fighting For, they should have gone right for the throat and promoted Judas Rising, and Wheels Of Fire....it is the most radio friendly song that 'Priest have ever made.

Having One Shot At Glory instead of Hell Patrol, and putting Between The Hammer And The Anvil before Eat Me Alive would work too.

Demonizer to replace BTHATA? You ask for too much. Quite frankly, I would keep BTHATA. For one thing, IT'S A GREAT SONG!!! In another, it was near the beginning of the setlist, so there's not very much to build on anyway. Maybe if you switch BTHATA and Eat Me Alive in the 2008 setlist, then there will be a smoother transition of the energy and power of the band. If you really want One Shot at Glory, then keep it where you want it to be in the setlist. You placed it in a pretty good part of your setlist.
Another thing: Where the heck did you get this info about Ohe Shot at Glory being the number one song voted to hear live? I, for the life of me, don't remember hearing such a thing.

My theory: The 2008 setlist is excellent everywhere else except one key element: bruiser songs. That includes Between The Hammer And The Anvil and Hell Patrol. The setlist builds up to BTHATA and the song is not that much of an energy release...it doesn't even have double bass drumming, its solo is ok but could be better. Demonizer would perfectly fit into here...it's heavy, lots of double bass and a killer solo...plus it has not been played yet. As for Hell Patrol....a bit of underdog without Rob's screams. One Shot At Glory was the number one voted song to hear live, so why not replace Hell Patrol with this? I'd say BTHATA & HP are the only songs that need changing.

Devils Child, Nostradamus is better than Chinese Democracy. But, I have to openly say that a real Guns N' Roses album (and not a bunch of guys playing under the name Gn'R, pretending to be Gn'R) would outdo any 'Priest effort. We saw it pretty clearly in 1991. However I must personally say that if it was 1991 and Operation Rock N' Roll tour and I got a choice between seeing Judas Priest or Guns N' Roses...the choice would be fucking tough. Anyways man, take into account that Chinese Democracy isn't Guns N' Roses so anything on that doesn't represent Gn'R at all.

Well, it's finally over. It started out good. If you can get past the "it's not G&R" thing and take it for what it is, it got my attention through the first few songs. I can even look past the next couple of tunes not being "worth the wait". I really am trying to give this CD the benefit of the doubt, but I can't.
I really owe Priest an apology. I was quite vocal about waiting so long for their last CD. They took on one hell of a task and finished it more than 10 years faster than Axl ! It wasn't exactly my favorite Priest record, but it was better than Chinese Democracy and it didn't take a freakin' generation to finish.
[Screamin' Demon] Saturday, January 31, 2009 3:59:49 PM
That was a bit of an unpredictable statement. It wouldn't exactly make a bad idea, so long as Scott's drumming would be technical with lots of double bass. If he'd been on Defenders Of The Faith, that album could have kicked some serious ass instead of being labelled Screaming For Vengeance II.
[Screamin' Demon] Friday, January 30, 2009 11:37:29 PM
I just think Between The Hammer And The Anvil is really silly in the setlist. As you can see, the setlist builds up to that song, and the song isn't much of a release of energy. Something more hard edged like Demonizer or One Shot At Glory or even Judas Rising would be way more suitable. I really hope BTHATA is gone from the list, it's not intense enough for a song of that position and purpose in the setlist.

I really hope this second Euro tour they do play the song. They played Between The Hammer And The Anvil and Hell Patrol off Painkiller album...both which are lesser songs than this one, surely they could take out Between The Hammer And The Anvil and replace it with this song.

This is truly one of the most amazing 'Priest songs I have heard up to date. I still don't know how to put my finger on what emotion this song has, other than say that it almost feels like being deeply in love with someone, to the point of romance being so burning hot that nothing else in the world matters. The composition of the song is excellent, the accoustic introduction with Rob heavily emotionally subjective in this part, followed by heavy guitars, and Scott's awesome groovy drumming this time around. The chorus is my favourite part, with heavy guitars backing Rob's every line. The most hair raising moment here is right after Rob says "take me to the maze of mystery" and Scott double beats his floor tom or snare (can't make out which one) and then hits one of the cymbals whilst the heavy power chord is struck again, and making Rob's voice just sail across the gutar sound. The solo is quite good, short but very titanic. Love the breakdown, which then proceeds to the normal rhythm again, and of course the glorious chorii. Very beautiful and moving song, has a kinda very serious but happy feel to it. If 'Priest read this thread, PLEASE play this song on the second Euro leg, this song is really amazing and deserves to be played the fuck out of.

Lol by hair metal I meant bands such as Poison, and stated that bands like Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Dangerous Toys & Racer X couldn't be blown down even in the face of poppy glam music. I dunno if you interpreted that any differently. Part of the reason why, is that the 4 bands I just mentioned stayed true to their roots and defied glam even more which made them the best, whereas some metal acts submitted to the glam scene and even slightly mirrored their style to it, thus presenting themselves as inferior and submitting to glam.

I credit Kiss' '96 Unplugged set and the subsequent reunion tour for taking the tattered banner of Hard Rock and Metal, kicking the shit out of grunge, and paving the way for Hard Rock and Metal to become somewhat more popular again. No single Hard Rock/Metal act during '96/'97 did more for kicking the door in during that time than the guys in black spandex and kabuki-style make-up until Iron Maiden headlined Rock In Rio III (2001).

So apparently 'Priest will change a few songs, say 2 or 3? What changes would you like to see in the set? Personally, I saw Between The Hammer And The Anvil a bit of a weak link, it's quite effective, One Shot At Glory would be a better choice seeing it was the NUMBER ONE fan voted song to be heard. Hell Patrol could be replaced too with something else, it sounds a bit of an underdog without the Rob Screams "The Hell Patrol!". If anymore new songs are to be played, well Nostradamus would be a good choice, other than that I'd love to hear Visions, what an amazing moving song that is. I'm pretty satisfied with all else, especially Eat Me Alive, Devil's Child, Death, Dissident Aggressor, Rock Hard Ride Free, Sinner, and the almighty Painkiller, love Scott's drum teaser before he launches into the song.

Here's some of my best written lyrics so far, curious what you people think of them. The first is to be a slowish song with lots of heavy drumming to it and fast lyrics, it is about being in situations where you have your enemy pinned down and under your thumb, the lyrics aren't 100% perfect to me so it will be slightly altered. The second is a ballad I wrote about the love between myself and a girl a while ago, with heavy rhythm during chorii as well as some kinda beautiful solo. I have a few other numbers to be written up like Don't Assail This Rose in future if anybody would like to hear the words. Give your thoughts people.
Dirt On You
Thought I could smell the roses, so beautiful and ripe
Should have known this thing much better, but the cards were laid down right
what's awaitin' us around the corner, hell that ain't for me to decide
So I'll savour up the degradation, when I gotta take you for a ride
It seems to me like the tide has turned, then another side appears
we're goin' heads up like dog-eat-dog, it's not the same as I thought it to be
don't speak you piece of mi-i-nd, it'll come a bitchslap you in the face
just leave an' take your mind games elsewhere honey, you're about to go down an' get debased
I've got the dirt on you
much too fast for dirty tricks, dontcha know what I'm gonna do
I've got the dirt on you
An' you can take your shot but you know you're the one to lose
Don't it feel bittersweet, when you're the one that rolls the dice

The tremor that this love will bear
A righteous feeling in my heart
The spirits dance together there
Waiting for the light to come out of dark
You have the key and hold its power
To unlock us to new horizons
our unity will overpower
Two destinies will blend in one
when our horizons meet, in my heart I know we are to be
No desire to compromise our hearts
As the sands of time count down, grain by grain our destiny
Newfound horizons look to us
I Never wanted you to see me
As the final straw to break one's back
So let me be the one to heal you
But darlin' make a promise iron clad
That you will always keep your head up
No matter what you 'll always hold on
And never lose your sense of love

When our horizons meet, in my heart i know we are to be
No desire to compromise our hearts
As the sands of time count down, grain by grain our destiny
newfound horizons look to us

When our horizons meet, for my part an' all it means to me
Ain't nobody gonna break our love,
When the light of love shines down, upon our hearts eternally

Ok somebody please enlighten me, I may have totally misinterpreted it when I started this topic. They said "for our playout there's the title track so the fans will get plenty of 'Nostradamus' as such". What does that mean?
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, December 21, 2008 4:26:29 AM
This is one of the greatest heavy metal live performances I have ever heard. The song has so much character and emotion. from the bells and evil voices echoing, to Rob's dragged out growls at end of each verse, to his desperate cryouts about death riding out from the storm, to the solo, and the closure as he goes back inside through the stage door on his throne. The guitar work too is just excellent, ranging from doomy simple riffs, to extreme shredding and use of wah pedalling, with some flashy moments of Scott's double bass drumming. After mediocre attempts to make the perfct evil doomy metal song with tunes like A Touch Of Evil and Revolution, this third round they came the right way. I'd like to believe this song has earned itself a spot in the definitive Priest setlist, as well as one of their greatest hits. give your thoughts people.
[Screamin' Demon] Saturday, December 06, 2008 7:14:25 AM
Go VisionsI always knew that song was simply just amazing. Gotta be the greatest slow song Priest have ever made. It's such a deep and intense tune, makes you feel like just making sensual love to that somebody special. Well done Judas Priest you deserve it.
[Screamin' Demon] Friday, November 28, 2008 11:44:22 PM

Ok no offence buddy, but for us especially being Aussies we only just had Judas Priest play here for the first time ever. So even if they were playing more Nostra in the U.S and Europe I would expet them to play more from their previous albums in our set list... which they did. Because most of us here have never experienced these songs live - especially for the older generation of fans who have been waiting for an eternity too see them.
When they come back with the full set of Nostra then i will be ready to absorb it all. But I tell ya if Nostra was my first JP experience i would feel a bit of a let down. I wanted to hear HBFL, YGATC, Devils Child, Electric Eye.... etc. Putting 2 in from the new album in was in a way a little bit of a sneak preview as to what will be instore for us when we see the album performed in its entirety.
Myself i love Future Of Mankind and would love to hear that one live, God willing they bring the set down here to OZ I will be granted that.
Bottom line being, i would not have changed anything on the set list from this tour and i am extremely greatful that they took the time to come down and play 5 shows in OZ. Cos it was about bloody time!!

Interestingly, some of the older songs aren't metal monsters in studio versions, but live they kickass and are truly metal monsters. Like Exciter and Rapid Fire. When I say Monster Metal song I mean that it has an intense sound. Victim Of Changes in studio isn't but it sure as hell is when it's live.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, November 12, 2008 5:48:40 PM
Anybody else here feel the lack of new songs on this tour? It seems very absurd to me that they've been sent on the road, having released an amazing album, and only playing 2 new songs live. Even more conflictingly to me, they play the studio track Nostradamus as they finish the show, just as background music, instead of playing it at the show. There's a lot of great material on that album, and playing only 2 new songs is kinda silly. They should include at least say Visions and Nostradamus. I hope by 2nd European leg they will fix that error and inject more new songs in the set.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, November 12, 2008 5:10:09 PM
Fight by a long shot. War Of Words as as someone said it, is a fuckin' masterpiece. Rob & Scott were the stars of these albums. Guitars were also very sharp here. Into The Pit is the greatest, with Rob's golden screams mixed with Scott's pepper bulleting double bass druming, heavy thrashy guitars injected into the music.

Elifson was booted out of the band because he had asked Mustaine for a larger profit, not even negotaited or anything just kicked him out. Right after an awesome album, for me The World needs a hero brought back the kick ass Megadeth from the middle period, late 80's earluy 90's. The newer albums are ok, but they're missing. The System has Failed was good, but just not right. Don't really care for the new album, its heavy and fast but empty i dont know, still think its David Elifson missing.
The whole story of how Elifson joined the band was one of the best stories of a metal band coming together. Living underneath Dave Mustaine playing Running with the Devil base line early in the morning waking him up, and then throwing a flower vase from what i remember on his air conditioner. pretty funny. I dont know that just seems like a lot of parrallel's. I still think Dave should change the name from Megadeth to something else. Doesnt feel like Megadeth anymore.

I'm sure that many people may agree that this album is a masterpiece, and one of the most amazing things that Judas Priest have put out creativity-wise. It is diverse, whether you want rockers or bruisers, slow or fast, ballads, doomers, or perhaps something new and surprising....you'll find it all on this album. The composition, lyrics and music are all well pieced here, into one seamless story of this man's life. This album takes Judas Priest to new heights, pushing for and breaking new ground. Sure it drifts off traditional heavy metal on some tracks, but so what hey? Visions for a prime example ain't your typical Priest song and yet it's my favourite song on that album. If there is anything to be disappointed about, it is for too few of these songs being showcased in the band's setlist on this tour so far. And I like surely a lot of other people, cannot wait when the Nostradamus tour rolls out and they play this masterpiece in its entirety. May Nostradamus go down as one of the amazing wonders and masterpieces in history of all heavy metal, it truly deserves such praise.

Let's take a look back at what Judas Priest are truely about....monster metal songs, intense or doomy, and often prolonged. They moved in this direction in '89 and this is their true colours. Which of the following songs do you deem as your favourite Priest Metal Monster and why? Mine would have to be 3 songs, which are Painkiller, Judas Rising and One Shot At Glory. Painkiller because of its all out balls to the walls intensity and screams and above all the all out assault by Scott's drumming, Judas Rising because of its constant double bass, razor sharp guitars and amazing solo and great dynamic in speed...it's like you're throttling forward full speed and yet so slow. One Shot At Glory because its sound is a more laidback version of Painkiller, with an amazing range of voices by Rob, one of the greatest solos and some very diverse drumming. Anyways, this is the list of all the monster metal songs that Priest have made since they geared up in '89, choose yours.
Painkiller
Leather Rebel
Metal Meltdown
Night Crawler
One Shot At Glory
Judas Rising
Hellrider
Lochness
Death

[Screamin' Demon] Friday, October 24, 2008 6:12:07 AM
That album is not Guns N' Roses. Axl is a pathetic retard the way he took the name in 1991 by blackmailing the band that he would quit and walk out on his obligation to record his vocals for UYI albums and sing for the booked long UYI tour, unless they give him the name. Now he uses the name Gn'R without Gn'R. If you have any respect for Guns N' Roses people, DO NOT buy this album because his current band are a bunch of moochers who have no respect for the Gn'R legacy and its meaning, so they live off it and use it for their own projects together. Support the true Gn'R and boycott this album. It's already bad enough that Axl's ass kissers want to inflate the sale figures by buying 3 copies each, just because they want to make the album look like a bigger success. An album without Slash, Izzy and Duff, with just Axl Rose on it will never be Guns N' Roses. Piece of shit Axl Rose Edited at: Friday, October 24, 2008 6:14:05 AM

Having listened to Death for quite a while now, I can't help but realise this song is a lot like the song "Black Sabbath". It has that evil intro...in this case the bells and the humming. It also has those beckoning calling verses, especially with the end of each verse how Rob's voice ends in a scream. It has an amazing guitar solo towards the end of the song too, as well as constant ringing bells adding to its doomy feel. I have to say that I find Death the far more enjoyable tune to listen to...especially live. Its guitars are razor sharp and searing, the drumming is more technical especially the double bass during the solo, Rob's screams are inhumanly awesome, his rasp during the Messenger Of Death chorus is razor sharp and his manic chorus about Death riding out from the storm are so emotionally subjective they are bone chilling. Interestingly, back in 2004 when Rob sang Black Sabbath with Black Sabbath, he introduced it as "the most evil song ever written". Four years later here we are with something even more evil and more bone chilling to top it. Well done Judas Priest Edited at: Friday, October 17, 2008 7:16:43 PM

So what have you learned or gained from Nostradamus album? Well, here goes mine. Listening to the album has helped me open up many emotions and allowed me to be my true self, to express every ounce of what I truly feel, amazingly through its diverse seamless 104 minutes of music. It has inspired and motivated me to write better song lyrics. Additionally, the album has helped me with my love life, in being able to express my love, and feel it right down to my heart. Furthermore, in honour of the undying forever willing Nostradamus, it has helped me realise I must go on, and keep my faith for what I feel strong about believe in, and feel the passion for, and never to give up hope. I am very proud to say, that I believe this is one of the most amazing heavy metal albums of all time, and damn well hope that it goes down in the books as the most amazing masterpiece in the history of heavy metal music, it truely deserves such praise. It has done and is doing so much for me.

[Screamin' Demon] Thursday, October 09, 2008 8:30:04 AM
The perfect sense would be to change the setlist around on the 2nd leg....throw out some lesser songs from the current set and make way for One Shot At Glory (Why the fuck was this not played?) and Judas Rising, and include 4 or 5 new songs instead of just 2, testing out how well fans react to it after 8 months of being out and onwards, then topping everything off with a 3rd leg of full Nostradamus shows. I dunno about others, but I HAVE to hear the whole thing live. And the longer I listen to the album the more it makes me just want to experience it all live in concert from front to back.

Some people might take this as abominal, but my 2 metal bands that I don't really like (note. not dislike) are Iron Maiden and Metallica. Iron Maiden because...well they sound quite dark for a heavy metal band, and Metallica because the vocals don't do it for me, neither does their guitar playing, it's just not as powerful as Judas Priest or Saxon. Neither Iron Maiden nor Metallica do I consider to be bad, but I just don't feel them. Anyways, give your thoughts on your unliked popular bands.

Priest should change their setlist on the 2nd European leg of the tour. My reason being why I believe so is, they should cover more fan favourites such as One Shot At Glory, Blood Red Skies and Jawbreaker which were one of the top 10 fan voted songs to hear, as well as include some newer songs. Nostradamus has been out for almost 4 months now, it's fair to inject at least 2 more new songs in the setlist, to make a slow transition into playing the full album live sometime next year. If at least they include the singles War, Visions and Alone, as well as play the title track. It would be stupid considering that by that time fans will largely know the album. Also bringing Judas Rising back to the list would be a good move as it is a definitive Priest song and shamefully hasn't been played on this tour. Touring twice and keeping the setlist would be rather dull, I'm hoping Priest makes such a change. Still can't wait for the Nostradamus tour though. Give your thoughts about change of setlist.
[Screamin' Demon] Saturday, October 04, 2008 5:47:37 PM
Oh ok. They should at least then change the setlist around a bit, and play other fan favourites such as One Shot At Glory, Judas Rising, Blood Red Skies, Jawbreaker, as well as playing songs considered to be singles such as War, Alone, Visions, and of course Nostradamus, because the album's been out for almost 4 months now, and by that time it will have been out 8 months, it would make sense to play some more new stuff, because I'm sure the fans would know them largely by then.

One of the big revelations in Slash's new autobiography is how the original Guns N'Roses split up and Axl Rose gained control of the group and name.
Just how did that "new Guns" come about? It started when Axl and the band's manager had the other members of the band sign a contract that gave Axl control of the group name if they ever broke up.
And that's exactly what Axl did, he broke the group up. Slash writes that the break up was caused by "Axl wanting control to the point that the rest of us were strangled." Then on August 31, 1995 Axl dropped a bomb on Duff and Slash, the only remaining members at the time, when sent them a letter "saying he was leaving the band and taking the name with him under the terms of the contract." Of course, Slash and Duff were invited to still be part of Axl's band. And we know how that worked ou

Could 2nd European leg mean Nostradamus shows? If not, will it mean a slightly different setlist? I certainly hope if that won't be Nostradamus tour, that their setlist will at least include some more Nostradamus tunes, because by that time fans will have largely known the album. At least if they add Nostradamus, perhaps Visions since it is a single, as well as Alone and of course War since they even made a video clip for it. It would make perfect sense. Changing around with fan favourites would be great too, say if they dropped Between The Hammer and The Anvil & Hell Patrol, replacing them with Judas Rising and One Shot At Glory, as well as maybe taking out Eat Me Alive, and Rock Hard Ride Free and replace it with Blood Red Skies. I think if they keep the same setlist they've been playing on the tour, on the 2nd European leg, it would get really pointless, when Nostradamus album isn't largely being showcased.

I don't get why the band's management has put them to play Priest Feast tour again next year in February. It's kinda ridiculous. Nostradamus was released in mid June, it would be about time they play the whole thing live early next year. Surely the fans by then will know most of the album off by heart. My original thought was that they were going to do a shortened world tour, doing a leg for Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and South America, and then do another shortened world tour, this time playing the whole album live. And instead of that, they're booked to do a pointless extension of the tour when they could be getting out there doing the magnificent theatrical Nostradamus shows by that time, which a lot of fans including myself are yearning to see. Sometimes the band's management really questions me, if I was in charge of the management I know I sure as hell would do a better job. It's a pity that the band's management aren't actually fans of the band because if they were they'd be doing much better. To send them out on the road to do a short tour, playing a list heavily filled with fan favourites from the past and including two new songs to give them a little taste of the new stuff, instead of having them sit idle or having them do a full album tour too soon before the fans get to know it largely, is a great idea. But to extend such a tour beyond its needs is pointless, this band is fresh, they always have been, and the management should treat them as such, and not as a band looking back on its past. I hope that at least if they're going to do such an extensive tour looking back at the past catalog, there will be at least a DVD to accompany it. Fuck the management, and rock on forever Judas Priest. Edited at: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 1:56:56 AM

I have to agree with jimmy james here. I can say alot about Axl Rose, like how he's one of the biggest assholes in the music biz, if not the biggest. He's a dirty peace of shit more for the way he treats people, and fans, and the people who are supposed to be close to him. The guy thinks he's the center of the universe, but whatever, there are alot of people in the world who think like that. Really it was the rest of the bands fault for being pussies and giving into the asshole, and if he was going to quit then they should have said go ahead, he probably would have given up and just went along with them. If they wouldnt have just gave in, the band may have still dispanded but Rose would have had to make a new band. Really everyone played a part. I used to think Axl was a very talented guy, but latly his voice has really been annoying me, and even the classic GNR has gone down in my books just because of his voice. So i think he'll get what he deserves in the end.maybe the stupid album will come out, but you watch it'll have taken so long, not that many people will even care. Unless buckethead is really still going to be in the band, then sadly ill have to pay some attention.

Well jimmyjames everything shitty he's done is a direct result of him seizing the name. You shouldn't be so brainwashed. Why support him so he can sit on his ass more? If the media had any common sense, they would have destroyed him by publically exposing his seizure of the Gn'R name and slanting him for using the Gn'R name without the Gn'R band. That band of Axl's isn't and never will be Gn'R.

Axl Rose, along with Izzy Stradlin, was the real song writing talent in GNR. As Velvet Revolver proves, Slash, Duff and Matt Sorum, while great musicians, are not good songwriters. Without Axl and Izzy they'd have nowhere near the profile they do now. Part of the reason these two were kicked out is because they were always wasted all the time and couldn't contribute anything, Slash is always going on about how fucked up he was on heroin and booze, Duff was a bad alcoholic as well, who wants to work with assholes like that. I hope that Chinese Democracy, when it is released does well and justifies the time spent on it. Axls shows in NZ and Australia last year were awesome, hope he gets down here again soon, with a new album under his belt.

This guy has to be one of the biggest shitheads in the history of rock music. If anybody remembers, back in 1991 before the release of Use Your Illusion albums, he walked up to the band and threatened to quit the band including not laying down vocals for the album unless they sign him over the band name rights. That's how this guy owns the name Guns N' Roses. Additionally, he wanted everything his way after the albums and the tour. The problem was...he already killed the band in 1991 when he took the name, and a few years later after their long Use Your Illusion tour, he slowly pushed them out one by one, and has continued to use the name Guns N' Roses without ANY other original members. It really shits me off that this shithead still continues to use that name, just to grab cash. The only reason he ever tours is to regain money he's lost wasting it on Chinese Democracy which isn't even Guns N' Roses. I think any true Guns N' Roses fan would not go to another Axl concert if it's just him and yet says Gn'R, and would not buy Chinese Democracy if it is released as Guns N' Roses. This guy needs to realise he is the FORMER Guns N' Roses singer, as they have been broken up, and needs to either stop using the name or call them back, and distribute the band name equally through all the original members.

I'm slightly surprised nobody has yet created a thread outlining some hair raising moments on Nostradamus album.. I'll list some that I know of and feel, if anybody has anymore list them.
01. The aggressive intro just before Prophecy breaks into drums.
02. The guitar solo in Prophecy.
03. End of Revelations when Scott is hammering away in double bass with Rob's vocals preaching "I take this possession for my life etc...", very powerful and moving.
04. The last verse in War (You must hold this threat, from such panic yet....)
05. Chorus in Pestilence And Plague in Italian
06. Beginning of Death, with the haunting voices and the bell
07. The evil sounding symphony at the end of every verse in Persecution.
08. The beginning of Exiled with drums and the haunting voices...makes you feel like you're in hell.
09. Everything during the chorus of Alone
10. Chorus in Visions
11. Double bass in Nostradamus along with Rob's scream
12. The synpony in the middle of Nostradamus
13. Scott's drums in Nostradamus from 5:30 - 5:37 Edited at: Saturday, September 20, 2008 1:34:17 AM

I was looking at some of the most powerful live albums from the first half of the 1990s. I took a look at ACDC's Live 2 Disc Collector's Edition from their 1991 The Razors Edge tour and Saxon's The Eagle Has Landed Part II from their 1995 Dogs Of War tour. I tried to compare which has more intensity and makes one rock my balls off more. I can't make my mind which does a better job. I love Brian's raw high pitch vocals mixed with Angus' and Malcolm's dynamic duo chainsaw wall of sound with their guitaring and Chris Slade adding a solid drum sound which ACDC has never seen before. However, on Saxon's live album, Paul and Doug really do the job just as good if not better, I'm unsure of Biff's vocals in comparison to Brian's as I prefer high pitch to ghostly sounding, but the bass is a lot stronger here, and the drums are sensational, after all Nigel is a far better drummer to Chris Slade. Nonetheless, I deem these two albums two of possibly the greatest live albums in the hard rock / classic rock / heavy metal genre. Great to see both bands in their very prime churning out live material for their fans. Give your thoughts which you like better. Edited at: Friday, September 19, 2008 3:26:34 AM

I certainly hope that Nostradamus tour next year will not be the last thing that Judas Priest do together. I remain hopeful that after Rob releases the new Halford album and tours, Priest will make at least one more album and tour it.

Changed my mind...
Painkiller
Painkiller is and always be Judas Priest's greatest album. It's Priest at their Purest. Not one bad or boring song on this album, balls to the walls, like an upbeat version of Screaming For Vengeance.
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, September 14, 2008 12:24:10 AM
A thought struck me. If in '91 Priest played the entire Painkiller album, with an ample number of classics injected in the set, mostly as an encore, what would you have thought of it? Personally, I would have loved to have been able seen something as such, it would be Judas Priest at their very best. Operation Rock N' Roll could have been a possibility for this to happen, but instead they wasted the setlist. It's good however to see that on this tour they included Between The Hammer And The Anvil and Hell Patrol, and may we one day get to hear One Shot At Glory, Leather Rebel and Metal Meltdown. Anyways, if we'd had the chance to have the whole Painkiller album played live in '91 I would have made the setlist like this:
Battle Hymn / One Shot At Glory
Hell Patrol
All Guns Blazing
Between The Hammer And The Anvil
Metal Gods
Leather Rebel
Metal Meltdown
Night Crawler
A Touch Of Evil
Painkiller
The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)
The Hellion / Electric Eye

That's a damn hard question. They're just about my 2 favourite guitarists. Slash is very bluesey, really makes you feel that sleazy side of rock music. But Buckethead is very technical and has some killer solos. The two of them make for really talented guitarists. Personally if I was making a hard rock band now and had to choose between them two, I would go for Buckethead because he can do almost anything.

To all Scott Travis lovers (including myself), I found this video worth taking a look at. His performance on this song just amazes me....Freewheel Burning in Fight. If only this guy joined as early as 84... his sense of double bass only brings more dimension to this song. If only Priest played this during the Priest Feast tour. Anyways, if anyone has any other real interesting vids of him post 'em here. Of all musicians he gets me the most by his sense of being able to just "make that drumkit his bitch" as someone else said. I hope this ain't in the wrong section.

It could be with motivation and stress. Generally I know recording such an intenese and complex album would put a lot of stress on one person, especially if they are a frontman of a band. Maybe the reason he doesn't do it now is because now they are enjoying themselves playing live shows once again, and their awaited project has been realised.

Right on Deliver Of Evil. That's my take on it. I'm never a type to hate anything unless it really does suck, so I try to look at it from a positive point of view as much as possible. What does greatly interest me is Devil's Child, Death, Angel, Rock Hard Ride Free, Sinner and Painkiller. I guess in the end it's a win for me when they play the entire album live.

Lol at the main pic. They should replace that with one of the famous poster competition pics from this year. Besides, Dave is no longer the drummer and was indicted for attempted rape. Also, Scott is the real drummer and is the best.

I would think that now that he doesn't do that anymore brings the result of his voice being tremendously powerful. He was on fire when I saw them in Toronto!
[Screamin' Demon] Tuesday, September 02, 2008 1:19:45 PM
I've just noticed Scott has the most diverse discography. He's gone from some dirty raw rock tunes on Racer X, to mindblowing balls to the walls heavy metal on Painkiller, to 90s thrash metal on War of Words and A Small Deadly Space, onto some brutal metal tunes with Ripper Owens, again on some dirty raw rock with Racer X in the breaks, and back to heavy metal and even Power Metal on Nostradamus. Now where would you find such diverse discography but with Scott Travis!
[Screamin' Demon] Tuesday, September 02, 2008 12:56:29 PM
I have to pretty boldly say that the Priest Feast tour setlist really conflicts me. By no means does that mean it's a bad setlist, but it strikes me to think "What are they touring?". I mean....it doesn't fit for an album tour setlist, it doesn't fit for a definitive setlist, or even less so for a fan favourite setlist. This thought came when I first read the list of the first show of the tour, and conflicted me even further when I did see them in Toronto. I would rest assured it is the management that called this because I don't believe the Priest quintet would be silly to put together such a list. I guess personally I find the list lacks character, there's good songs on there, but nothing too striking besides the obvious Breaking The Law, Sinner and Painkiller. I remember Priest saying a long time ago they wanted to make sometime an ultimate Priest power album, well why not a Priest power setlist? I would have really enjoyed so much more if they had inserted some true monster metal songs like One Shot At Glory (It was voted as fan favourite number one or two!!!), Nostradamus (Best way to showcase the new album before playing it all live!!!) and of course Judas Rising (Hey, it's got all the attributes of a true Priest song). I like that there is Sinner, and Angel finally replacing Diamonds And Rust. But the band's management should really take a better approach on the matter. I would think a setlist like this would've done it much better for the fans:
Judas Rising
Metal Gods
Eat Me Alive
Battle Hymn / One Shot At Glory
Devil's Child
Breaking The Law
Death
Dissident Aggressor
Angel
The Hellion / Electric Eye
Rock Hard, Ride Free
Sinner
Nostradamus
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)

Both Holland and Les Binks were far more more detailed rythmically than Scott Travis. If you listen to Travis play the older material, it's like he (Travis) is running through it without any emotion like he has somewhere to go. Sort of a dry run in his approach and playing. Holland had that excellent bass drum thump and rhythm that Travis does not. Listen to the drum parts on old Priest like Victim of Changes/Ripper/Green Manalishi etc... w/ Scott, then with Holland on any tour. There is Big difference IMO in favor of Holland. Nice try but maybe you never saw Priest with Holland so as a newbie your loss. He was the thunder of Priest. Yes, he is a predator and behind bars, but his drumming for JP was easily better. Hey but dont get angry / just IMO.

Priest kicked ass at the Toronto show. Rob had some interesting outfits, his voice ripped through the whole show, he was very friendly with the crowd, looking at individuals in a really familiar friendly way, kissing the Canadian flag at times. Scott's cymbals were flyin' all over the place and his thundering double bass roared and made the entire arena tremble. KK & Glenn were an explosive duo, particularly Ken oozing out some aggressive shredding solos, and Glenn rocking out hard as usual. Ian Hill really made himself present this time around. The only little problem we had was some asshole of a guy in the crowd booing at all Painkiller and post-Painkiller songs deeming them as not real 'Priest, eventually another guy got angry with him and I hope he bashed the shit out of this asshole. I moved down to the moshpit when security guards weren't looking. Simply to say...the night fucking rocked. See you in Sydney Judas Priest.
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, August 10, 2008 7:02:16 PM
That's why 'Priest are not immediately doing the new album all live. Iron Maiden did their entire album live right after it was released, so it ain't a surprised that fans were scratching their heads. Instead, 'Priest are doing a cool Priest Feast tour to get the fans reinterested into 'Priest and to listen to their new album, and are giving fans a total of 6 months to get to know the new album. By January next year, I'm sure a lot of people will largely know the new album, giving way for them to rock out to the songs when the whole thing is played live.
[Screamin' Demon] Monday, August 04, 2008 6:26:14 PM
You're right. Anyways, to all your efforts in helping me find the solution thanks very much. On an interesting note,I have previously made a song to her named Newfound Horizons, and after the heartbreak, instead of throwing away such an effort of a song, I've decided to simply follow it up with a ruthless aggressiver rocker entitled "Take You Down In A Bitchslap". Will post lyrics of it at some point in Beyond The Realms Of Priest.

Dare I ask, is this tour helping to hype fans for Nostradamus tour? I'm still scratching my head when I read the standard 2008 setlist, to find only Prophecy and Death in the setlist. Is this enough to make casual rock / metal fans want to see them live next year when they play the album in its entirety? Personally, I know I am going to feel a bit disappointed by lack of new songs on this Priest Feast tour when I see them in Toronto and Sydney. I know this is not the Nostradamus, but I'm sure many other fans on this board share the same opinion as I do that they are yearning to hear some more new songs. Sliding in at least another solid rocker like Revelations, Persecution or Nostradamus would go a long way. Edited at: Saturday, July 26, 2008 11:29:24 PM

Why don't they just do a documentary. With footage from recording sessions throughout their whole careers, interviews. Insert some of their tunes into the movie from time to get the story going more fluently. They could also have the band's crew partly speak the story. Former members could be each let to have a short interview too. The idea would be more like a history of Judas Priest.
[Screamin' Demon] Wednesday, July 23, 2008 4:14:29 AM
Saxon are a great band too. One thing they differ from Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden....they were just about the only classic heavy metal band which steamrolled full power through 1995. Black Sabbath delivered a disappointing album, as did Iron Maiden, and 'Priest weren't intact. Saxon on the other hand released Dogs Of War and coming to the forefront once again since Solid Ball Of Rock. Motorhead were an exception too, with Sacrifice which IMO is the best work they've done.

Glenn announced that they are planning a second european leg, probably in the new year, after finishing this year in South America. Could that mean that Nostradamus tour starts next year? It would make perfect sense if they are doing 2 slightly smaller tours (meaning on each tour they only do one leg for each region) and do full Nostradamus shows when they do the 2nd leg for each continent/region. As for the Nostradamus tour, I can't wait, imo it will be the most amazing thing they ever do, I've been loving the album so much it will be an amazing experience to see it all played live with even symphony, choir, orchestra, keyboards, theatrical stage setting and all those outfits by Rob.

A lot of love has poured out for Nostradamus album, one thing I wanted to say that it's great to see such outpouring love for the album. Another thing, I noticed nobody mentioned the band's current stage costumes. They made another improvement this time. In particular, the Nostradamus long coat by Rob, more studs on his pants, and now Scott wearing long and studded almost-cowboy-style leather pants has matched his image spot on 100% with the rest of the band, and great to see something fancy come out of Ian with that leather vest and now studs on his shirts. Glenn as usual has added yet another fancy colouring to his outfit, in line with the Nostradamus idea. KK as usual has kept his trademark image and added a different flavour to it.

What would be amazing to see for a one off is while the song is being played live with Rob in the throne, Ozzy osbourne should come out onstage in Death's outfit, with the scythe in one hand, and microphone in other hand, singing the song together. That would be the greatest duo of all time.

Funny thing though, regardless of the formal titles, Rob has already introduced Death as Messenger Of Death, and reffered to Judas Rising as Judas Is Rising on the Angel Of Retribution tour, which I think is a more effective way of introducing them.

Holland vs Travis is the most laughable question to ask. Holland is a single kick drummer who is pretty mediocre. Scott Travis is the god of drums...listen to Painkiller, Leather Rebel, Judas Rising, Deal With The Devil, Demonizer, Hellrider, War, Nostradamus... he puts Dave Holland at embarrassment. Dave Holland was nothing but a one time drummer for 'Priest who should have been out a long ago. Luckily Scott came just before the writing of Painkiller and the 3 albums produced with him on it go to show his capabilities have maximised 'Priest's ability to play some heavier chops and to their full extent. Holland was just another random that made it to the band when they weren't so bothered about the drums, but Scott's abilities outstood all the other 50 drummers who auditioned in '89 and he was specifically chosen by 'Priest, and to this date remains their true drummer. The better way to put the question Holland vs Travis is...who would you wanna see if you go see 'Priest show? Scott Travis or no-show.

So, if Priest were to do a definitive 'Priest show filling the set with essential 'Priest songs, how would you think it to be? Considering how it looked in 2004, and the release of Angel Of Retribution and Nostradamus. My reasons for the setlist I provided are: Death is the new brutal 'Priest song (it's as good as "Black Sabbath" the song...and it is a must for a 'Priest setlist) and blows A Touch Of Evil out of the water, Diamonds And Rust is dated and unoriginal compared to Angel, and Judas Rising is like a theme song for 'Priest.

The new song titles surprise me to say the very least. It's a very different approach for 'Priest to name majority of the songs on an album with single worded titles. Especially considering that some of the titles are single words picked out from within a catchy phrase. If I'd been put to listen to the songs without knowing the titles, I would have thought the songs War, Death, Conquest, Persecution and Visions to be Gods Of War, Messenger Of Death, Conquest And Fire, Under The Hand Of Persecution and Visions In The Night. However, I really appreciate 'Priests new approach for these titles and feel that their minimalist approach on the titles (Whilst maintaining the vintage 'Priest formula for majority of the titles of introductory pieces) made each song stand out more conceptual and individual, simply great.

They both have similar vocals and verses...both have screams at the end of the verses. Also, both songs have a fast section with a good solo. Death however has meaner riffs I must say.

Does anybody have any info on what the Nostradamus tour in 2009 will include onstage? So far we've seen him wear a Nostradamus outfit during Prophecy. And I couldn't help reading Metal Jesus' post about Rob sitting on a throne during Death, can anybody confirm that or is it a speculation? After doing some reading up about The Four Horsemen Conquest, War, Pestilence & Death, I thought maybe he will come out onstage dressed as these four characters, accordingly to the songs, which would make sense to me. Will we have a keyboardist (maybe Don Airey?), a choir, symphony orchestra or something? Additionally it was said the stage setting would be very theatrical and may even include live actors, as well as Rob changing outfits "more than Madonna". If anybody can shed some light of information on this it would be great. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TOUR!

I would agree that when you truly love someone and they feel the same, you don't need to be convinced they're for you, there don't need to be any boundaries of any sort....emotional, intellectual, sexual etc. At first sight when you meet them you will feel it, see it, and deeply know it and if you can't at first sight, that person isn't the one.

I prefer Nostradamus because it is so diverse and yet so metal.

Prophecy- a fantastic start to the album, really catchy
War- The word epic captured in one piece of music
Pestilence and Plague- ROB SINGS ITALIAN! NUFF SAID!
Exiled- fantastic, another epic one (but in a totally different way to War)
Visions- I dare you not to get shivers down your spine when Shadows in The Flame links to this.

Nostradamus - of course...the fast, double bass fast-cutter, featuring a Painkiller-like rhythm, great symphony section
Revelations - great pounder, very optimistic, lotsa headbanging space here, makes me lift right up as I listen to it, love the accoustics in this number, great when you're feeling angry to get your energy out, killer guitar shredding
Visions - Now what could be more groovy and cool, a lot of sound in this one, great song to listen to when deeply in love
Persecution - Great speed and power, clever use of symphony in this one...certainly makes it sleuthful and badass too, killer shredding, outstanding drumming
Conquest - Makes ya feel you're really out there lookin' for something, reminds me a bit of Iron Maiden's Dance Of Death album, another great groove like Visions, killer guitar solo here too Edited at: Monday, June 16, 2008 5:37:22 AM

It doesn't matter how old you are, if you are a fan you are a fan. Fuck what people say negatively about you. As for having no real metalhead/rocker friends....try some metal/rock clubs, you can always find some there. I've found many metalhead friends through gigs I've gone to and will make many more. And don't let people tell you what you know or don't know. They don't know that.
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, June 15, 2008 3:55:13 AM
No band has so far achieved the intensity that Judas Priest have with Painkiller. Songs like Painkiller, All Guns Blazing, Metal Meltdown & One Shot At Glory are unbeatable. Other songs of my interest on this album include Between The Hammer And The Anvil & the sleuthful pseudo-ballad A Touch Of Evil. Shame in my view that a DVD was not released from the Operation Rock & Roll tour as All Guns Blazing, Night Crawler, A Touch Of Evil and Painkiller sounded so amazing live on this leg...especially Painkiller. Anyways on with the album...as someone said...it's like an evolved version of Screaming For Vengeance. It showed Priest's power in getting to the very meat of the metal. It's purely amazing, mindblowing and was the epitome of the Prime Time Priest. Whenever I feel down and need some balls-to-the-walls music to get my blood pumping and adrenaline rushing...this is the answer.
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, June 15, 2008 1:21:30 AM
I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in Toronto and Sydney this year. I wish though that you would play at least another song off your new album, it's too much a masterpiece to play just Prophecy and Death. Throwing in Nostradamus at least, would be kickass.
[Screamin' Demon] Sunday, June 15, 2008 12:58:37 AM
The album is purely amazing, very powerful, moving, showing a lot more emotion than any other Priest album. The band has shown a hunger as big as Painkiller in writing and recording this masterpiece. Rob's vocals are spot on. I like his use of heavy raspy vocals, and his opera on other occasions, as well as his high pitch. He has shown diversity once again. KK has again given us some great killer guitar solos, with Glenn right up there, providing amazing soulful guitar work. Ian's bass is much more prominent on this album than on any other Priest CD and it really works much better this way. Scott's drumming is outstanding, ranging from simple groovy and funky, to highly technical and double bass assault. The abundance of synthesiser guitars, symphony, choir, accoustic guitars and keyboards did not drag Priest down on this one....it added more flavour to their enormous wall of sound and is right at home with the Priest metal sound. I must proudly say, this album is as metal as it can get. My favourite songs include Dawn On Creation / Prohpecy, Awakening / Revelations, The Four Horsemen / War, Peace / Conquest, Persecution, Shadows In The Flame / Visions, Calm Before The Storm / Nostradamus. Did Judas Priest make a masterpiece and a truly great metal album once again? HELL YES!!! Edited at: Sunday, June 15, 2008 1:01:35 AM

For fucks sake. That guy can't get over the fact that he quit Judas Priest, and the fact that they have commercially been acclaimed. And this cameout in the wake of the release of Nostradamus. I can't help feeling he's a little butthurt. Why can't he for a change just be happy for Judas Priest??? Fuck you Al Atkins. Edited at: Sunday, June 15, 2008 12:28:34 AM

This album is pure perfection. EVERY band member cranked it up this time, those raspy notes, and higher pitched, along with opera singing...from Rob, with KK's aggressive shredding and wailing guitar, Glenn topping guitaring off with his melodic soulful sound, Ian's bass more prominent this time...thundering hard, and Scott's drums sledgehammering better than ever ranging from cool grooviness to intense double bass assault.

Is anybody experiencing the same problem as I am, that when they play the album on Windows Media Player...all the tracks up to Peace don't say the name of the artist, the Dawn Of Creation / Prophecy are mistitled as Nostradamus and Visions. I bought mine here in Sydney by the way
[Screamin' Demon] Saturday, June 14, 2008 12:31:27 AM
It would be nice if they add Judas Rising, Nostradamus and maybe another new song like Visions or something. Though I'm guessing they won't add any songs which have a lot of synth / symphony etc because for that you would need Don Airey or someone like that to play it live.
[Screamin' Demon] Saturday, June 14, 2008 12:03:53 AM

Rob's mid to low ranged vocals are all he has left, and that rasp in his voice is age dude!
I'm blown away at the praise he's getting for sounding old! LMFAO
If Nostradamus is the best they can put out...then they need to retire IMO!
Go listen to Alice Cooper, or Heart...they sound the same after all these years, or better stilll...listen to Turbo for synthesized Judas Priest that kicks ass better than Nostradamus!

Once again comparing the same concerts. Which of these to you is a better "go for the throat" song? In these live versions. All Guns Blazing has really heavy drums, Double Talkin' Jive has really a good rhythm, Rob's voice is raspy and in some cases high pitched, Axl's is mostly deep. Guitars....you have the long solo in the middle by KK, or the long solo from middle to end by Slash. This is a tougher decision.

I'd have to say War Of Words. He showed outside of Priest the full abilities of his vocals, which at the time may not have been on their repertoir, thus restricting his talent. For the first time we could hear a different range of vocals from him....he sang with a really clean high pitch raspy scream in some instances, used a motorvoice much like Sebastian Bach today (Love Is A Bitchslap as reference), as well as a more death-metal kinda voice on Nailed To The Gun track, and melodic vocals such as on Laid To Rest, additionally he used a bit of a raspy range such as on Immortal Sin. I'm beginning to understand now that it may have been the reason he temporarily left Judas Priest until the successfull reunion, whicn partially the reason for was that everybody came to understand Rob's vocals in all ranges are meant for Judas Priest, and that his voices should never be restricted in Priest.

So by the time they do Australia, Japan , Korea and I guess South America they will up the song number to about 21 /22. I would expect to see; Living After Midnight, Touch Of Evil, Revolution and maybe Judas Rising [natch] or Beyond the Realms Of Death added then. I would assume that they then would take a break over Christmas, and then maybe, December or January you will see four or five dedicated Nostrodamus multi-media shows, and a tie-in DVD, filmed at a venue like the Royal Albert Hall. Then that will be it for another 2 or 3 years. Although there may be the lost acoustic album that they were working on during the Angel Of Retribution tour to look forward to.

Hmm I dunno anymore about the best guitarist on his own. But the best dualling guitarists....that would be a stand off between Saxon's Doug Scarrat and Paul Quinn, and Judas Priest's KK and Glenn. Both are explosive duos, each also with an explosive double bass drummer to enhance them beyond anything (In that case Scott is the better drummer but this is about guitarists).
