First time I've been on here in forever. I just downloaded the new track and thought it was okay. Sounds like a typical JP sounding tune and I'm sure it'll grow on me. In the words of today's youth, "Meh".
She can't wait! She knows all the songs, thanks to me. lol
Can't believe you guys got left out of the warm up. Sorry. It was 70 here today. (Quoting Message by Darth_Painkiller_0870 from Saturday, February 19, 2011 9:20:28 PM)

Seriously that cold up there eh? Funny as it has been loads warm down here for about a week and even NYC got this weather so I just guess the atlantic states got it.
Flora can not wait to go see Priest, she was mad to find out that the tour would start on the opposite side of the world. lol But she is ready and willing to go and jump around and sing her heart out! lol

I want to take my baby brother. He likes Priest but has never seen them live.

I think Priest is going to warm up and do Europe first, but where they're taking it from there, only they know. I would love for them to hit the States after Europe! Keep your fingers crossed I guess.
Definitely busy in a good way.

I don't think one has to be technically proficient to create a great solo as they need to also be one with their guitar. Ex: Jimi Hendrix.
That being said, my fav JP solo is from Painkiller. Everything about that song just blows me right off my seat when I hear it.

Being an avid cartoon person in my pre through teen years....I was a fan of both the Transformers and G.I. Joe cartoons - among others. I greatly enjoyed the first one, got the movie-tie-in books for both the first and second ones in addition to the filler books that provide some decent backround for the movie.

I don't think that allowing your kids' b/f or g/f to sleep over is a good idea at all. Like Freeze pointed out, they don't fully understand the ramifications of such actions. For example, what if the girl gets pregnant???? Granted, if they're away at university, there isn't much of anything we can do about their promiscuity, but we have to instill in them the sense and the values to conduct themselves with a sense of decency. Fuck, I sound like a prude talking like this...However as a parent, I look at my children and think that if I don't instill in them the lessons I have learned in life and my values and sense of decency, and if they don't live by them, then I would have failed them. That all being said, there is no way in hell I would allow my daughter to sleep at some boy's house or my son to sleep at some girl's house. It sets a bad precedent for one, and let's them know they can get away with doing the wild thing wthout fear of reprisal.
Now that I've said my peace, it's time to shower and go see Star Trek!!!! Mr. Sulu...Engage!

Metallica's best work is the more raw, angry stuff like Master of Puppets, Kill 'Em All, and Ride The Lightning. You check out those 3 CDs and put them up against Death Magnetic....Death Magnetic will be destroyed by the sheer volume and ferocity of the first 3 CDs. There is NOTHING on Magnetic that even comes close to stuff like Creeping Death, Fade To Black, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, The Four Horsemen, or Seek and Destroy. Magnetic is too polished and lacks the fire and tenacity of Metallica's first few CD's.

Metallica's best work is the more raw, angry stuff like Master of Puppets, Kill 'Em All, and Ride The Lightning. You check out those 3 CDs and put them up against Death Magnetic....Death Magnetic will be destroyed by the sheer volume and ferocity of the first 3 CDs. There is NOTHING on Magnetic that even comes close to stuff like Creeping Death, Fade To Black, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, The Four Horsemen, or Seek and Destroy. Magnetic is too polished and lacks the fire and tenacity of Metallica's first few CD's. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by MARK IN THE DARK from Monday, May 11, 2009 10:38:54 PM)

WHAT??!?!??!?!?!? Why is it that they cannot just make a remake and have it be the same as what made the original so good in the first place?????????? Arrrrggghhh!!!
Now, please do not get me wrong. I am NOT a "Trekkie". Never been to a convention. Don't have the ears. I love the original show because I was a kid when it came out and I actually watched it!! (Same with the original Batman series) ANYWAY, I just read an article that says Captain Kirk is more "hip" in this movie. Apparently, making him a "badboy" is somehow "cool"...? WHATEVER!!!!
The whole cool thing about the original Kirk was his steadfast devotion to duty!! He would NEVER "sneak" aboard a starship!! He served on the Valiant or Reliant or something, for like 12 years before getting command of the Enterprise!! He was not a "loose cannon". He did not ride a friggin motorcycle and look for fights!! He was a Starfleet cadet and one of the FINEST ever. VERY reserved and VERY reliable. BY the book! I just cannot accept that it is "cool" to be a rule breaking troublemaker. Ooops, I forgot..that IS cool these days!! My bad!!
I had planned to go see the movie. I have reconsidered and , at this point, I am no longer interested.

I can not wait for them to do the Greek pantheon in an album along these lines IF that is what they choose to do. Is it my favorite Priest album? Not really. Do I like it, you freaking bet. Is it "metal"? Obviously.
I think I can speak for most of us on this. Please do not try to push metal into whatever limited box you wish to define it in. Personaly I do not give a fart in a tornado for most black metal/death metal but whatever floats your boat dude, just stay off of mine.

Hi Becks! Glad to read your man will be home soon.
As for the Murray thread and the need for Mods. Unless the band and Murray change their thinking drastically, there will never be Mods here. Which is sad considering that the Q has them, Iron Maiden has them....fuck! Every site I know of has them!!! However, the thinking that we should be able to police ourselves is okay, but with the constant amount of shit disturbers that been popping up recently I think the need for a couple of Mods is more than justified. No offense to Murray, just an observation and opinion. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Sunday, April 19, 2009 4:17:51 PM)

Oooh I didn't realise the Murray thread was gone. I agree with the need for Mods, I believe it would help keep on top of things when Murray isn't able to he is pretty quick to sort stuff out though I reckon.

Well said Freeze. I know I've been staying away from posting on the board like I used to, mostly b/c I don't want to involve myself with the Brothers Fucktard. However, I realized something just now...if I leave or if I create a new ID, those assholes win. Screw that and screw them!!!! As much as I dislike their unnecessary and pitiful rantings, they are a cancer to a site I like and I enjoy coming there and chatting with all of you. I for one do not think any of us should allow these cretins to win or gain some type of advantage. Just my thoughts. Thank you for posting that my friend.

Good Morning. Looks as though Murray has, as usual, taken care of business and removed a tumor. Well done, as always. You know, there has been a lot of chatter here lately about behavior and what is or is not acceptable. I am always supportive of discourse and I wanted to take a moment to speak on a serious note to all of you.
Over the last couple of years, this Board has seen many changes. As we all know, change is a constant in our world. Those that find they are unable to adapt to change inevitably will succumb to its dynamic. Such is life. We all evolve or we fade away. There have been a lot of very good and very bad members that have "moved on" and are no longer with us. That is a fact. But, more importantly, we have a lot of members that remain. I choose not to lament the loss of those which no longer join us but to embrace those that do.
It is my belief that each and every member offers us something. Even those that choose a path of discord. From them we all learn to support one another and the bonds of friendship are strengthened. From those that differ in opinion, we learn alternate points of view. Certainly I do not always agree with everything that is said here but I find that I am much better for the exchanges. Our lives are enriched through the diversity we have here and that means a lot. In my case, many of you shared in a dark point of my life some time ago. You were there from the beginning and there when I emerged from the other side. I will always be thankful that you were there.
Regardless of one's political affiliation, socio-economic situation, religious beliefs or personal views, each and every one of us on this Board share a common interest...Judas Priest. Through this band, we have come together. Through our friendships, we have stayed. For all the talk and griping and accusations and snipes, we stay. And we all make friends. I often lay in bed at night and, as I drift off to sleep, I actually think of you. I picture those I have never seen and try to imagine what you look like. I can see those I have met and I imagine hanging out and talking. I recall those that have made personal efforts to spend time with me. And I smile. Sometimes, I wonder what you're doing at that moment. Are you sleeping? Are you sharing with family? Working? Listening to some Priest? HA!!!!!!
We can say what we will about some of the behavior here. As much as I have always tried to show grace and manners I realize that I am human and I get caught up in the silliness just as anyone else can. We can declare our disgust and leave. We can take shots at one another. We can complain about those that are no longer part of our group. All of this we can do. But we can also share in the unique and widely varied personalities that make up OUR Board today. That's right, OUR Board. It is ours. Yours and mine. We keep coming here because we care. We defend because we care. We argue because we care. We laugh because we care. Most importantly of all........we care.

I'm sorry all....I don't even know if this is the best place to put a post like this, but I know a lot of the members of this site hit this thread up considerably, so...in the interest of those who respected his loyalty to The Masters--Judas Priest, to those who'd gotten to know him but had wondered where he'd been...it is with great regret I share the following news...news I just learned today.
Long-time member and author/designer of the 'Judas Priest Info Pages' known as 'Maddrakkett' , (or Mark, to those who got to know him better) passed away November 5th, 2008. It was not a highly publicized passing, nor was the condition--diagnosed as GVHD, or 'Graft-Vs.Host Disease,' that had taken him from us. Mark's involvement online had dwindled considerably in the last couple of years, mostly in the interest of keeping his stellar 'Judas Priest Info Pages' site updated as possible, but also to come to terms with the grim diagnosis he'd received. His last few posts on the HALFORD QUORUM between mid-September into October illustrated the complications as they became more realized. Many within the HALFORD QUORUM who'd gotten to know him and his work (along with his penchant for playing bass and his myspace page) are saddened by this news, which seems to have surfaced only within the last couple of weeks. If anyone among us here has known about this, you'll kindly forgive me for (perhaps) re-opening a wound of sorts. Many newer members who've been hipped to the 'JP Info Pages' have been astounded by the details and the painstaking measure by which Mark's site has graced the cyber-world.
RIP Mark....you'll be a very missed entity between this site and the HALFORD QUORUM. A wonderful authority about our favorite band, and one hell of a nice guy...may God bless and keep you my friend....'til we meet again.

The Brits say 'reckon' a lot as well. I should know...I support an office full of them! Cheers! And here's another thing or two: Everyone outside the US, says 'cheers' and 'mate'. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone in the States who says either one. I say them b/c I like being different than my fellow Americans.
Cheers for that Darth! Us New Zealanders are really bad for saying 'reckon' all the time, LOL! And we tag 'eh?' on to the end of sentences all the time haha.

Hiya Strat there are a couple of other differences I can think of, theatre being standard British spelling, theater being standad American; the use of a z in place of an s in some words in American spelling like hospitalise/hospitalize, colonise/colonize (I believe that's correct but am not 100% sure).

The date was Sunday June 15 1980. San Diego State Open Air Theater. It was my first Priest show. I was 17 years old. The show was not even close to being sold out. After the first song, Rob looked out at us. He could see our excitement, our love of the music. He looked at wooded barrier between us and the band. I remember him looking up at us, looking down at the barrier a couple times. He then said something about it being a party, why the gap? I remember the bouncers looking like "WTF". We then closed the gap. I found myself a place kneeling on that wooden barrier. I loved Priest's music before that show.. I loved Priest by the end of the show... The following year... Priest's show was sold out... The crowd outside wanted in so bad they broke down the gates. (Stupid move in my book) The show was cut short. I remember the news said that Priest was never allowed back at SDSU... Never Say Never Priest will be back at SDSU this August. I now live in Humboldt County, CA, 800 miles north of San Diego.

Upon carefull and long reading of Marxist literature, I have decided that your comment is reactionary, fascist, and makes baby Stalin cry. You will be purged. Resistance is futile.

You got a camera? I think we are on to something here... I get the royalties, of course. For my idea. And you wouldnt even need to but the Osbourne brats in.

Get some second rate editor to piece it all together and bingo, tv show. The great thing about it is there are millions of retarded people out there who will watch this shit. My favourite reality show is Jack Osbourne: Fat, Four-Eyed, Pig Faced, Trust Fund Baby.

Guys, it doesn't matter what an artist or a band writes about...it's about the music itself. Kiss is hard rock (and also made a couple of heavy metal albums in the early 80's)...but they sing about screwing and partying. Hell, A SHITLOAD of bands from the 70s through today do that! Whitesnake is one of them. Poison and Cinderella are others. Hmmmm...let's see who else? Motley Crue? Yes. GnR? Yes. Tesla? Yes. Personally, I think it's all a matter of taste.
Maybe we could get a better understanding of the differences in opinion by everyone giving their own definition of what is Metal and what is Hard Rock?
Here's what Metal is to me: It's an attitude. It's a lifestyle for some. It's stronger, more powerful and complex rythyms, riffs and lyrics. The New York Times music critic Jon Pareles wrote, "In the taxonomy of popular music, heavy metal is a major subspecies of hard-rock—the breed with less syncopation, less blues, more showmanship and more brute force." It's a quote that I think sums up Heavy Metal or just Metal in general, pretty accurately.
Hard Rock is rock and roll with a bigger punch. It's louder, and hard rock bands/artists tend to be the ones who get the majority of airplay (Kiss, Led Zep, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, etc...). It's heavily blues-influenced and is generally more melodic in sound than Metal.
[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Wednesday, April 01, 2009 5:46:18 AM
Funny but iTunes and Windows Media Player both list Poison and Cinderella as metal. Ya know what? I'm fine with it. It's pop-metal, but it's still metal IMO. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Wednesday, April 01, 2009 5:05:58 AM)

is Poison really "heavy metal" to anyone here?I think not.
With that being said....still Whitesnake are nowhere near being "hard rock" at all. Just because a band pumps up volume with a few riffs..ect..does'nt mean they are "hard" ....Whitesnake are "soft".Just an observation.

Actually J.D., even the glam bands are considered Hard Rock. It's about attitude and volume. Yeah, some if not a lot of the stuff is cheesey pop-metal ala Bon Jovi, but it's still Hard Rock when you strip away the hair and makeup and listen to the songs...a lot of which are very good and actually have meaning.
J.D. DIAMOND wrote:
This is in no way,shape of form a "hard rock" album Cobras....it is simply a (in my opinion "overrated") commercial hair band era 80's "rock" album,not "hard rock"....."hard rock" is Motorhead....hard rock would be some of "AC/DC" not all,but some...hard rock would be some of "Saxon" even though they also play traditional heavy metal they still write hard rock songs...
Hard rock is like some of the Scorpions..ect...these are hard rock bands,Whitesnake is no where near "hard rock"....and the era of the album you posted ..they were "glam" at the fullest dude,bunch of pretty boys with hair spray with the most commercial sound there was at that time.
Sorry Cobras,not trying to make you angry here but Whitesnake is no where even near "hard" to be "hard rock" and thats what you put in the topic is "YOUR CLASSIC HARD ROCK ALBUM OF THE DAY".
Cobras-Aura wrote:
Well...classic rock and hard rock deserve attention too. So here is the thread. My album of the day is 1987 by Whitesnake. Great sound, great attitude and style. It's a lot like Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction. Along with Appetite For Destruction and Racer X's Street Lethal, it was a big "Fuck You" to the glam movement. Well done boys.

I don't about that. I think the band wanted to expand their musical horizons and they found a willing producer in Bob Rock. ...And Justice for All isn't a bad album either, as it was my introduction to the band.

You know it is kind of funny that Metallica are betrayers of metal, yet they have Metal in their name. What a joke.
When I first heard Kill em' All and Ride the Lightning , I thought they were amazing, and then I heard their newer stuff. IT SUCKS.
Cliff was the heart and soul of early metallica.
Metallica died with Cliff.

Uh, Joe, I think I agree with you but I don't know about Halford being Wicker. LOL I love them, and that's all that matters.

Yes I agree,but still Nostradamus is an OVERKILL. If they would of shortened it up to 10 tracks,with a variety of songs than it would of been better.There are not a variety of songs...it all swings to the slower side and is one dimensional in my opinion.And at this late in the band's career..I think its a shame that they want to "evolve"...I think that 'Angel Of Retribution" is a perfect Judas Priest album with a little bit of everything the fans wanted.
spapad wrote:
Only one thing in Priest's defence, they have always evolved. The only period I can think they didn't evolve well enough was Defenders, being SFV's twin almost, and well turbo just seemed to be catering to a larger audience than their core. Nos, is an album of verteran rockers who decided to tackle something different and it does stand alone as a good work. Is it Painkiller? No. But if everything they made sounded exactly the same we wouldn't like them.
Metallica is just sad. They just seemed to have lost an edge and a desire to do more. Trying to divorce yourself from your true roots is a joke.
Ever listened to Disturbed? Relatively new band, older stuff is a work in progress and their effort last year was truely awesome. I hope they continue to evolve as well, but not forget their roots.
J.D. DIAMOND wrote:
Exactly spapad,exactly!! I think this about "Nostradamus" as well.Don't get me wrong here...Nostradamus is far better than any lame Metallica album by far,but it is the same thing here what were talking about.The "world" is not craving "Nostradamus" from Judas Priest......they are craving a "British Steel" and a "Angel Of Retribution" or a "Painkiller"...not something so different that it covers up your favorite band's "SOUND".
The world is not craving a shitty Metallica album like "Death Magnetic"...they are craving an album like "Ride The Lightning". No question.

I understand experimentation, but they are just throwing out shit now I wouldn't play in a million years. Young people buy it because of brand band recognition, not because they true appriciate the band. IMO

When Cliff died,so did Metallica.If he was still alive,he would of left Metallica when they were writting "The Black Album"..Cliff would of NEVER been a part in this recording,not at all..no way no how.He would of formed his own band under the attitude of early Metallica for sure.

Actually J.D., even the glam bands are considered Hard Rock. It's about attitude and volume. Yeah, some if not a lot of the stuff is cheesey pop-metal ala Bon Jovi, but it's still Hard Rock when you strip away the hair and makeup and listen to the songs...a lot of which are very good and actually have meaning.

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.

J.D., I saw Kiss in 2005 (?) with Aerosmith and Saliva in Hershey, PA....Thought they were tight and Tommy does a great job playing Ace's licks. I don't think Tommy and Eric should be using Ace's and Peter's makeup either...but I'm not worried about it. It wouldn't matter to me if the band had the make up on or not...I'm going for the music. I'm going to see Gene hoisted up to the rafters and sing God of Thunder after a killer bass solo and going "OH YEAH" a few times. I'm going to hear Detroit Rock City, and hear Eric do Nothin' To Lose and Black Diamond (he does a pretty damn good job on both IMO). I'm excited as can be for a new Kiss CD.

Yes. Paul Stanley is producing it and according to Gene, 4 tracks are done, and they're letting Tommy Thayer have a song. I'm sure Eric Singer will have one or maybe a partial lead vocal on one too. He seems to have acquitted himself quite nicely during his tenure with the band.

Yes. Paul Stanley is producing it and according to Gene, 4 tracks are done, and they're letting Tommy Thayer have a song. I'm sure Eric Singer will have one or maybe a partial lead vocal on one too. He seems to have acquitted himself quite nicely during his tenure with the band. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by kiamat from Monday, March 30, 2009 9:12:06 AM)

I know this might annoy some of you, but I'm actually glad when I found out that Kiss is working hard on a new studio album! Even those Ace isn't the band's lead guitarist anymore, Tommy Thayer is pretty decent in his own right and they will always put on a spectacular stage show! I especially like the fact they are not writing with outsiders (ie: Dianne Warren, etc...) but as a band. The last time Kiss did an album without outside help on the credits was 1975's "Dressed to Kill".
And for those who doubt it, I think Paul (he's producing the whole album) will keep Gene's head out of his arse long enough to put together 3 or 4 songs. Actually, on Psycho Circus...Gene wrote the best stuff if you put it head-to-head against Paul's, and did a damn fine job on Carnival of Souls.

MG, for goodness sakes woman! It would be FARRRRRRRRRRRR simpler and less costly to download and use Turbo Tax then to take to H & R Error.
And I will continue to say that Obama is an amateur playing with a bunch of professionals and he's not faring well. But that's a subject for the politics thread.
Also, has anyone gone over to the newbie area recently? It seems an old nemisis has returned. PM me for details.

This is from your slut susan!
The past few days, even though we have had arguments, we have done much better lately. It makes my mind race.
For the past few days I am back to fantasizing about you and me.
Can't wait to see you, and hold you in my arms.
I keep having the same dream go through my head.
It's night, I know your comming. Flora is sleeping at her friend's house, I am all alone.
You call, and tell me your here.
I'm dressed in barely nothing and waiting at the door for you.
I open the door and there you finally are. I grab you and hug you and we exchange the most passionate french kisses there ever was. When we finally pull back from each other's mouths our eyes meet and the obvious lust and need is so apparent of both our eyes!
I shut the door and look at you again, we kiss again, so passionately. I start to pull your clothes off, kiss your neck, kiss your chest, and wind my way down your beautiful body.
As I reach your belt, you look down at me and say "yes, do it babe". I unfasten your buckle and unzpip your pants to free up what I long since had felt against my body, that gorgeous cock, hard as a rock, just for me!
I pull your pants to your knees and crouch down in my boots, and I take that gorgeous cock of your's into my mouth.
I massage your balls with one hand while I pump your manhood with the other and my pouty lips do the rest of the work!
I look up in your eyes and lick the precum off the head of your cock like it was a lollipop of my favorite flavor. You look down approvingly, and then I go back to my work.
I swirl and suck you right there in the entryway of my home till you explode in my mouth! You back is against the door and your spent.
I lick my lips and return to giving you the most passionate kisses, and now it's your turn my love.....................

Canadians can't have water balloons...The water would turn to ice in the fridgid Artic air and the balloon would subsequently overshoot it's intended target. I say overshoot b/c ice is lighter than water and that would hose up their catipults and giant rubber bands.

The band has 18 studio albums and 12 of them are jewels. The other 6 LPs...."Crusader"...the opening song is a great Saxon track by all means and album cover but the rest of the album is not that great. Innocence Is No Excuse album.(1985)...."Rock The Nations".(1986)....and Destiny(1988) albums are not good at all,mid 80's hair band type of B.S.
1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" has a couple of good tunes but the other half is unworthy songs....same goes for the next album 1992 "Forever Free"...half of it is good,the other half is not. Saxon's first 5 albums are good with only maybe 1 or 2 songs on each that is not(8 songs out of 10 is not bad) and Saxon's last 7 studio albums are excellent,again with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 songs that are not up to the quality as the rest of the album,but again if an album has 10 or 11 tracks on it and you don't like 2 of them,thats still an albums worth of good material.That being said,I would recommend 12 Saxon LPs to Saxon fans.
1979 'Saxon"
1980 "Wheels Of Steel"
1981 Strong Arm Of The Law"
1981" Denim & Leather"

MAIDEN AND PRIEST ARE THE BEST OF BRITISH METAL.MAIDEN IS DEFINATELY BRITISH METAL CAUSE HARRIS WOULD RETIRE BEFORE HE'D EVER LET ANYONE JOIN WHO IS'NT BRITISH,HE'S BEEN QUOTED AS SAYING!I THINK THATS A BIT LAME TO RETIRE IF YOU COULD'NT FIND A BRIT GOOD ENOUGH AND OTHERS ABROAD WERE SMOKIN' BUT HE HAS'NT HAD MUCH TROUBLE YET ASIDE FROM EX-VOCALIST BLAZE BAYLEY.I'D A TAKEN DIO ANYDAY OVER HIM..

Oh...I agree Metallica's first 4 albums blow away Megadeth's whole catalogue from Start to Present...hell, I didn't even become something of a Megadeth fan until they did Cryptic Writings. Even after that, it was a long time until I heard anything other than Peace Sells, Symphony of Destruction or the hits off Cryptic Writings. Even then, I'm not overly impressed with a lot of Megadeth's early stuff. There are some good songs like Mechanix, Hangar 18, Train of Consequences, Wake Up Dead. But like a select few bands, I think Megadeth has gotten better with age. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Monday, March 23, 2009 4:35:04 PM)

Yes Darth,I agree that "Megadeth" is better than "Metallica" after Metallica's 1988 album "And Justice For All". Starting with "The Black Album"...and up till now...Megadeth is better but I still don't have an ear for Megadeth,just not my flavor,thats all. Metallica's first 4 albums are much better than Megadeth's entire career in my opinion.But not saying that Megadeth are not good.

Okay...I take issue with your dislike of Megadeth. I think Youthanasia and United Abominations are kickass from start to finish!

Hey joe! Nice to see ya back on the board! Ain't nothin' wrong with Kid Rock, except I wouldn't play his music around the kids. I personally love the way he blends so many different styles of music together, rock, (c)rap, blues, soul, funk and country. If you don't have either Devil Without A Cause or The History of Rock...GET THEM! You will not be disappointed!
Hiya BS nice to see we've both come out of 'retirement' at the same time lol.
ps and yes I know Kid Rock is not the greatest.. most would say he sucks but I tell you folks.. I got t his CD for my birthday and there are some tracks on it that don't suck too badly.. The drumming on this song is just plain amazing I tell you!! Rolls of thunder!!!

Hey J.D., I listened to Inner Sanctum a couple of times now and I think it was wind noise (not to mention that I listened when I was more awake). Good CD.
I already have a bunch of Saxon tunes on my laptop (Denim & Leather, Princess of the Night, Motorcycle Man, Crusader, Heavy Metal Thunder, and 747 (Strangers in the Night to name a few). I'll probably search through iTunes and see what else is there.

My car stereo is fine. Listened to Powerslave on the way to work this morning. Maybe wind noise is muting Biff's vocals? Time will tell as I intend to rip the CD to my iTunes this afternoon.

Wow really? Are you sure its not the stereo your listening to it on? Because when I listen to it,his vocals are perfectly clear,the mix is right on how it should be..hum...not sure what to think about that one....not hearing what your hearing but its cool that you got a Saxon CD.
The band has 18 studio albums and 12 of them are jewels. The other 6 LPs...."Crusader"...the opening song is a great Saxon track by all means and album cover but the rest of the album is not that great. Innocence Is No Excuse album.(1985)...."Rock The Nations".(1986)....and Destiny(1988) albums are not good at all,mid 80's hair band type of B.S.
1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" has a couple of good tunes but the other half is unworthy songs....same goes for the next album 1992 "Forever Free"...half of it is good,the other half is not. Saxon's first 5 albums are good with only maybe 1 or 2 songs on each that is not(8 songs out of 10 is not bad) and Saxon's last 7 studio albums are excellent,again with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 songs that are not up to the quality as the rest of the album,but again if an album has 10 or 11 tracks on it and you don't like 2 of them,thats still an albums worth of good material.That being said,I would recommend 12 Saxon LPs to Saxon fans.
1979 'Saxon"
1980 "Wheels Of Steel"
1981 Strong Arm Of The Law"
1981" Denim & Leather"
1983 "Power & The Glory"
1995 "Dogs Of War"
1997" Unleash The Beast"
1999 "Metalhead"
2001 "Killing Ground"
2004 "Lionheart"(Saxon's best record!)

The 3.0 part came from the fact that AOL used to give itself so many upgrades during the late 1990's (AOL 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, etc.). I thought those commercials were kinda neat...so a mixture of both and...voila!! My online name!!

I agree Ron! I don't care what Priest is going to play....I am there!
Personally, I don't see it as economically feasible to do a full-blown Nostradamus production for more than maybe a couple of shows. Think about it, touring is expensive enough. To do Nostra, you're ferrying additional musicians (it'll double JP's size easily), and maybe even a backup singer or two? In addition, you have to come up with an operatic-like set, while still keeping it metal...plus the costume changes the band will need to go through! No, it's just not a feasible idea for a full-scale Nostra tour. Someone posted in another thread (I think it was the live album one) that it would be better to do maybe one or two shows at a venue.

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.

I don't think Maiden recreating the World Slavery Tour was a bad thing. Got to hear some tunes that you wouldn't normally hear at a Maiden show (Moonchild and Rime). Plus, I think as a band gets older their creative license to do whatever they want is a lot broader. Fuck it, if they wanna play all of British Steel in 2010 and sprinkle in some of their other songs, then it's their perrogative. I'll see them irregardless and enjoy myself just as much.

J.D. my friend, you had pretty much said all of the right things over the weekend. As you, Ron and DF said, hopefully reason will start to kick in with those recently deptarted members and they will return in due time.
I for one, consider myself pretty damn lucky to have communicated with so many fine people. Through thick and thin, this place has been something of a haven for me to turn to and
escape the crap that life throws at me.
Hey guys, wouldn't it be really cool if we have a giant 'meet and greet' thingy? Maybe we can center it around a JP concert? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Sunday, March 15, 2009 11:08:54 PM)

LOL...J.D., I don't think DF lectures anyone either, but it has been mentioned in the past (even by him) that he sometimes "lectures". It was more of a (flat) joke than anything else.
Both you and Ron just made a couple of great points. The board is a reflection of it's members as a whole. No one single person will bring it down. We are all here b/c we love Judas Priest, and we love Metal. We are here to commune with others like us who have those two shared interests.
MG & Bev: I have enjoyed your friendship and agree with both Ron and J.D., that you both really need to drop this, apologize to each other, and move on. Let's all just have a good time and hang out...isn't that what this site is about? Both of you have PM'd me in the past asking me if I think we would miss you if you left or stated that you decided to stop posting in here b/c of whatever issues you have. Please, I implore both of you to take whatever time is necessary and reflect on all of this and decide if you can move forward as a member of this site. Both of you are wonderful people to talk to and it's very sad to all of us here to see this occur.
... "And I really don't want to have to call Freeze and drag him on here to lecture us." Hey,thats why I'm here Darth!! If Freeze is called upon,than all of you won't be "lectured" if you will,I don't think that Freeze Lectures anybody...he is the master of words of wisdom and that is the truth.
This is not that big of deal,Bev and MG...you don't have anything to "clear up" at all.Everything has already been said here. Just have a good time,hang out and let bygones be bygones. Metal Godess....if this site upsets you so much,than as I've posted below...maybe you should begin to think about if this is the right place for you to be??
I hope that it is because I dig your posts and everybody else does too,but if your so unhappy than we'd rather see you comfortable even if that means you do not post here often or at all for that sake.I hope not,but it's your decision....maybe take some time...even overnight/a week/a month..whatever it takes to figure this out,nobody will scorn you for that,not at all.We'd rather see you here,but not if you are so incredibly unhappy. Right on Metal godess,you are awsome and we will respect your decisions.

Hell Bent For Leather (aka: Killing Machine) - JP (1979) Arguably one of Priest's best releases ever. From the killer guitar on "HBFL", to the groove of "Burning Up", this album does it all and doesn't include any ballads. The cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Green Manalishi" is classic and is one of the best cover songs ever done.

I think this all relates to the discussion that occurred yesterday in the Metal Blah 2.0 thread. When people make the conscious decision to go off like this, you have to understand these people who do these things are seriously troubled both emotionally and mentally. And it's ridiculously easy to get a gun in the United States, as well as England.
In my nation's constitution, Americans are given the right to own guns...Which is fine, in and of itself. The problem is with the process to obtain a handgun is ridiculous. There are loopholes galore in the process, and I'm even going to dwelve into the thousands of illegal handguns on our streets.

Yes,it's true....not to worry,some people get caught up in various things...this just happens to be yours,thats all. If someone wants to stir up B.S. here,then ignore them.Whats funny is that you don't have to get worked up about it.
Just stop causing friction and have a good time,whats wrong with that? Nothing... Before all 4 of you got tangled up in arguing,this place has been silent.If you think someone posts something to cause problems,just ignore the post and post something cool,or whatever..its entirely up to nobody else but "you". As I've said before,these kinds of friction are everywhere...but if this place makes you soooo unhappy then nobody is keeping you here....you can search for the "perfect" website where nobody has a difference of opinion right?

Bev, you obviously have a guilty conscienious or you wouldn't have started rambling at Soy like you did. Your comments are clearly an admission of guilt over stuff that Soy posted. I am the kind of person who tends to believe that we are all honest, decent people...You, MG, Soy, and Vail are all people I am happy to call friends. Maybe if you drop the rhetoric, there wouldn't be so much animosity? I think you are a lot better person than you are portraying yourself to be right now, Bev.

The band has 18 studio albums and 12 of them are jewels.

Innocence Is No Excuse album.(1985)...."Rock The Nations".(1986)....and Destiny(1988) albums are not good at all,mid 80's hair band type of B.S.
1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" has a couple of good tunes but the other half is unworthy songs....same goes for the next album 1992 "Forever Free"...half of it is good,the other half is not. Saxon's first 5 albums are good with only maybe 1 or 2 songs on each that is not(8 songs out of 10 is not bad) and Saxon's last 7 studio albums are excellent,again with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 songs that are not up to the quality as the rest of the album,but again if an album has 10 or 11 tracks on it and you don't like 2 of them,thats still an albums worth of good material.That being said,I would recommend 12 Saxon LPs to Saxon fans.

Well Becks, the racist isn't getting fired anytime soon it seems. Apparently, management "talked" to him about his ignorance and now everything is supposed to be hunky-freaking-dorry. I feel bad for my African-American co-workers who have to put up with this jackass.
DP - that co-worker sounds like an absolute tool. I can't stand racisim or sexism (or any negative -ism lol). I got hit with sexist remarks so often through my last job. One dude we were doing an inspection on found out I was in charge of my male co-worker and said 'pfffft! subordinate to a woman!' then started going on about women causing problems or some nonsense. A few men within the organisation even completely ignored me during meetings etc - I was a young female, I didn't matter. Arseholes lol.
Hopefully that co-worker gets the boot soon DP - for your sanity! lol.
One of the bullshitiest ideas ever. Its like learning how to use a calculator, without learning how to count first. Not to mention that doing everything exclusively on computers is a really bad idea. You write something on a piece of paper, it stays there. You write something on a computer, it stays there... Until the thing crashes.
Not to mention that a notebook and a pen are much cheaper than laptops.

My car stereo is fine. Listened to Powerslave on the way to work this morning. Maybe wind noise is muting Biff's vocals? Time will tell as I intend to rip the CD to my iTunes this afternoon.

Wow really? Are you sure its not the stereo your listening to it on? Because when I listen to it,his vocals are perfectly clear,the mix is right on how it should be..hum...not sure what to think about that one....not hearing what your hearing but its cool that you got a Saxon CD.
The band has 18 studio albums and 12 of them are jewels. The other 6 LPs...."Crusader"...the opening song is a great Saxon track by all means and album cover but the rest of the album is not that great. Innocence Is No Excuse album.(1985)...."Rock The Nations".(1986)....and Destiny(1988) albums are not good at all,mid 80's hair band type of B.S.
1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" has a couple of good tunes but the other half is unworthy songs....same goes for the next album 1992 "Forever Free"...half of it is good,the other half is not. Saxon's first 5 albums are good with only maybe 1 or 2 songs on each that is not(8 songs out of 10 is not bad) and Saxon's last 7 studio albums are excellent,again with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 songs that are not up to the quality as the rest of the album,but again if an album has 10 or 11 tracks on it and you don't like 2 of them,thats still an albums worth of good material.That being said,I would recommend 12 Saxon LPs to Saxon fans.
1979 'Saxon"
1980 "Wheels Of Steel"
1981 Strong Arm Of The Law"
1981" Denim & Leather"
1983 "Power & The Glory"
1995 "Dogs Of War"
1997" Unleash The Beast"
1999 "Metalhead"
2001 "Killing Ground"
2004 "Lionheart"(Saxon's best record!)
2007 "The Inner Sanctum"
2009 "Into The labyrinth"(Quoting Message by Darth_Painkiller_0870 from Monday, March 09, 2009 4:34:48 AM)

J.D.! Great to see you back!
I have to chime in and agree with y'all on this. I think metal is all about "attitude". To me, that attitude should include denim & leather. Why? Because it's different from the mainstream, and last I checked, Metal wasn't exactly mainstream. I don't particularly mind when bands come on stage in jeans, though it takes away from the "attitude" and stage presence a band should give off when they play live.

I am 100% against the "Tunnel Hat" image of so-called "metal bands" if thats what they call themselves. Dress what ever the hell they want outside of the "band"...but when

When we allow ourselves to be taken down a path of foul ignorance, we also allow ourselves to be drawn down to the level of the low life to which we respond. Further, we do a great injustice to our membership. You see, we also enjoy the "company" we keep and enjoy the true "art" of the music which defines us. BUT, WE do not allow color, religion, race or country of origin to shadow what it means to be a "true" fan. Accordingly, WE do not see things so simply and WE choose to take a more "enlightend" and eclectic approach to our lives.
I will always be "proud" of my heritage. Moreover, I am proud to be part of such a widely diverse group. We have broken the bonds of ignorance and embraced all. Truth be told, unless you are an American Indian, you are NOT of this land. You are an immigrant. Whether that be of white, European heritage or black, Hispanic, Asian or anything else. How that could possibly be missed is beyond me, but I digress.
We are a family. We do not, nor should we ever, allow the stupidity of racism or any other hate (yes, I said hate) to come among us or, WORSE, be acknowledged. We cannot control the ignorance of others, but we can stand high above it. We shall not be soiled.

Both an economic dimension and a social dimension are important factors for a proper political analysis. By adding the social dimension you can show that Stalin was an authoritarian leftist (ie the state is more important than the individual) and that Gandhi, believing in the supreme value of each individual, is a liberal leftist. While the former involves state-imposed arbitary collectivism in the extreme top left, on the extreme bottom left is voluntary collectivism at regional level, with no state involved. Hundreds of such anarchist communities exisited in Spain during the civil war period
You can also put Pinochet, who was prepared to sanction mass killing for the sake of the free market, on the far right as well as in a hardcore authoritarian position. On the non-socialist side you can distinguish someone like Milton Friedman, who is anti-state for fiscal rather than social reasons, from Hitler, who wanted to make the state stronger, even if he wiped out half of humanity in the process.
The chart also makes clear that, despite popular perceptions, the opposite of fascism is not communism but anarchism (ie liberal socialism), and that the opposite of communism ( i.e. an entirely state-planned economy) is neo-liberalism (i.e. extreme deregulated economy)
The usual understanding of anarchism as a left wing ideology does not take into account the neo-liberal "anarchism" championed by the likes of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and America's Libertarian Party, which couples social Darwinian right-wing economics with liberal positions on most social issues. Often their libertarian impulses stop short of opposition to strong law and order positions, and are more economic in substance (ie no taxes) so they are not as extremely libertarian as they are extremely right wing. On the other hand, the classical libertarian collectivism of anarcho-syndicalism ( libertarian socialism) belongs in the bottom left hand corner.
In our home page we demolished the myth that authoritarianism is necessarily "right wing", with the examples of Robert Mugabe, Pol Pot and Stalin. Similarly Hitler, on an economic scale, was not an extreme right-winger. His economic policies were broadly Keynesian, and to the left of some of today's Labour parties. If you could get Hitler and Stalin to sit down together and avoid economics, the two diehard authoritarians would find plenty of common ground.
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.26

There are no "psychics" or "mediums" or any of that silliness. Just scientific equipment. It is an interesting show if you can get past the goofiness of it all and let yourself go.
It airs on Wednesday nights so I usually record all the episodes and watch them Thursdays. Some of the stuff is fairly entertaining. Some is rather useless. It is a nice escape and a unique show. They approach it as a "reality" show, so there is no lame dialogue or stiff acting (for the most part). Certainly better than more than half of what television offers these days! I enjoy it.

My roommate and I both are of the same mind on this. She is an irresponsible, derranged woman, who like Freeze said, is totally abusing the social programs in place for people who are in these situations - mainly through no fault of their own. I know some people like this myself, and it makes me ill to my stomach to see them get ANY SORT OF PUBLICITY!!! That pisses me off more than anything.

I like both Megadeth and Metallica. Metallica's older stuff (pre-Load) is better than Megadeth in a lot of cases. Vocally, Hetfield is a heckuva lot better than Mustaine was...though, I think the tables have turned against James when Megadeth released Cryptic Writings. Mustaine showed everyone who doubted him that he could do as good as Hetfield in the vocal dept. Megadeth has also never sold out and become a purely commerical entitey like Metallica has.

I think the popular media is always looking for a darling or a pretty boy/girl. Metallica for the most part, since the "Black Album" have been metal's media darlings and pretty boys. It doesn't surprise me they won the grammy for Best Metal Song. I don't think Metallica necessarily sucks, but they have released some generally crappy albums since the "Black Album", and for the most part Hetfield's lost that signature growl in his voice when he does certain songs. Even Whiplash seems a little wimpy now when he sings it. I wonder if he has Rob Trujillo help him sing that like he did with Jason Newsted?

Morning everyone! Even though I would not bother with the Grammies otherwise, the fact that Judas Priest has the opportunity to snag an award or two is frigging great! Hopefully, they'll do the metal/hard rock categories early. I have to find out what time and channel the show is on now.

I went to pay my cable bill by phone tonight, only to discover that my account number entered went straight to customer service and when the idiots there tried to help me out I found that I have no account with these fools after years! No access by my account number, my phone number, my last payment confirmation, my postal address they mail my bill to, and my 911 address. I do not exist to these people! My bill exists! But I cant even pay it! WTF!!!
I hate the cable company bad enough as it is! I have nothing decent to watch on TV and I'm getting charged a a bazillion dollars for my cable and internet! there is only one cable company in town and they are like the Mafia of Media! I hope they all get a bad stomach virus that lasts for days!

I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment, Ron! I've never understood why just because someone is a member of Party "A", they can't agree or vote for someone from Party "B" if they feel that person is the better candidate to represent them. It should be noted the 4 Congresspeople from the districts covered by the local newspaper my ex-wife subscribes to, voted along party lines for/against the stimulus package.

I've always wondered why the voting public has to conform to Party lines...I believe that there are good ideas from both sides of the fence...but aren't our elected public servants suppose to mirror (and vote) according to what the people they represent want instead of the idea of 'you voted me in, now I'm gonna do it my way' or, 'because you elected a Republican/Democrat, this is the way We do it, therefore you (the voting public) must conform to us?? We elect ppl to represent US so that we don't have to go to the Polls every other day to cast a ballot on something...if there is to be a time of reflection, they should be reflecting on what WE think WE need, NOT what THEY think WE need...maybe I'm off the mark (I swore I wasn't gonna get involved in this anymore, but I sometimes can't help myself, sorry!!) but I think that when Politicians get to Washington, away from their home States, they somehow lose touch with 'our' needs, get caught up in the 'machine' so to speak...they need to go 'home' and seriously check the pulse of their 'jurisdictions' to seek out the problems and find soloutions that work!! And this goes for both sides!!!

I just found the following article on cnn.com. It's basically the usually savvy opinion of U.S. Republican Party Congressman and House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell from Kentucky.
I happen to agree with the man. I am a member of this political party, as I am a fan of less government and my principles tend to lean to the right (conservative) on a number of issues (stem-cell research not being one of them). Any thoughts?
(CNN) – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell painted a downright dismal view of the state of his party Thursday afternoon, telling Republican National Committee members the GOP is in grave danger of being marginalized to a regional party.
"We’re all concerned about the fact that the very wealthy and the very poor, the most and least educated, and a majority of minority voters, seem to have more or less stopped paying attention to us," the Kentucky Republican said on the second day of the four-day gathering.
"And we should be concerned that, as a result of all this, the Republican Party seems to be slipping into a position of being more of a regional party than a national one.
"In politics there's a name for a regional party, it's called a minority party," said McConnell.
The sobering remarks came one day before the 168 members of the RNC are set to elect a chairman tasked with steering the party out of its beleaguered status, and win back some of the voting blocs virtually abandoned the party last November, including minority and younger voters.
"My concern is that unless we do something to adapt, our status as a minority party may become too pronounced for an easy recovery," McConnell also said.
McConnell also laid some blame at the feet of former President Bush, whom he described a "man of principle," but one who did "not win any popularity contests."
"History shows that unpopular presidents are usually a drag on everybody else who wears their political label," he said. "It happened with Truman. It happened with Johnson. It happened with Nixon. It happened with Clinton in ‘94. And it happened in ‘06 and ‘08 with President Bush."
He said particular effort needs to be applied to attracting African American and Hispanic voters. Black voters have historically voted heavily Democratic, while Hispanic voters were significantly more Democratic than they had been in previous presidential elections.
"Too often we’ve let others define us," McConnell said. "And the image they’ve painted isn’t very pretty. Ask most people what Republicans think about immigrants, and they’ll say we fear them. Ask most people what we think about the environment, and they’ll say we don’t care about it. Ask most people what we think about the family, and they’ll tell you we don’t — until about a month before Election Day."
But McConnell addressed a a group deeply divided on where the Party should head in the next four years, a tension that has played out in the unexpectedly cut-throat race for the party's chairmanship.
The Senate Minority Leader, who faced an unexpectedly competitive race last year to retain his seat, told the Republican gathering it's not too late for the party to rebuild itself. But he warned the GOP cannot change its fundamental values in the course of trying to appeal to a wider cross-section of the country.
"You don’t get them back by pretending to be something else," he said. “And you certainly don’t gain voters by running away from the ones that are most loyal. But it’s clear our message isn’t getting out to nearly as many people as it should."
"…We should avoid the false choice of being a party of moderates or conservatives," he said. "America is diverse. The two major parties should be too. But this doesn’t mean turning our backs on commonsense conservatism, or tailoring our positions to suit particular groups. Our principles are universal. They apply to everyone."

And since the Faithful Defenders are METAL, then they play in Hell w/o fear of reprisal, and they get paid handsomely.
DC, here's the rundown...._strat_ is all by his lonesome because he does not have the moxy to out-cool me because he listens to rap, Britney Spears, Fall Out Boy, and wants to place the Faithful Defenders in his dungeons and not pay them. Oh, and he drives a Model-T Ford.
Whereas, I drive....a Lamborghini Estoque!
Oh, and sinning is encouraged in my realm. The only rule is no rap or shitty music in Hell except for torture purposes.
Well, if you havent forsaken me, then I guess you should get to work - take the price list and start taking da cash from da sinnerz. After youre done with that, you can book the Faithfull Defenders in our dungeons.

I have a bootleg from the latest tour and it is OK but I really don't think I would buy a live album from them right now. Perhaps if they do the whole Nostradamus album as a "concept tour"...? I would likely be interested in buying that. From what I have read, it seems rather obvious that they intend to do an All-Nostradamus show very soon. I would probably buy that in a "live album" version.

Why would Guido want such a sissy job in your Britney Spears'-listening realm, when he could lead my Legions to BATTLE while rocking to Priest and whatever else he desires???? Not to mention, the minions will build him the house/castle/fortress of his wishes, and he will be granted all he desires?
Basically we just enforce the law.... haha... And enjoy the perks.... I.e gorgeous men...

The following article is from the "High and Inside" column in today's Philadelphia Daily News. Any and all comments are welcome of course.
Oh no, T.O.
THIS IS SHAPING up as the winter of our discontent.
Last week, we reported that former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin will host a reality show. Yesterday, we got word that current Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens will also have one.
The "Terrell Owens Project" will be taped in the offseason and debut this summer on VH1.
A VH1 blog entry describe ths show thusly:
"In the series, T.O. will be shadowed in the offseason by his best friends and publicists Monique Jackson and Kita Williams as they battle the two sides of his large personality. Viewers will discover that behind all the braggadocio, emotional histrionics, and sculpted physique that is the outspoken media magnet known to the world as T.O. - there is also a quiet, sensitive, mild-mannered guy from Alexander City, Ala. . . . that's Terrell."
Two things. One: We're going to be sick.
Two: We've already seen Owens' act - lots of bickering and childish behavior, although the pushups in his driveway were kind of funny.
Parent's comment to Lidge is legendary
At the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association banquet last night, former Flyers goalie Bernie Parent, who received the Living Legend award, met up with Phillies closer Brad Lidge, who was named Outstanding Pro Athlete.
Parent said to Lidge: "You had 48 saves this season. I used to have 48 saves every night."
Parent then gave Lidge a banner that was a takeoff of an old Parent bumper sticker. The banner read: "Only the Lord saves more than Brad."
Forsberg may play, or not
The Flyers aren't the only ones waiting to see if Peter Forsberg is fit to play. Sweden coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson said yesterday he contacted Forsberg and asked him to play in the LG Hockey Games, which begin Feb. 5. Gustafsson said Forsberg, who has had an ongoing problem with his right foot, will give him an answer by Friday.
I don't mean to raise your ire DP, Whitesnake did make 'some' really good music, but in doing so I think they could have been 'great'...One thing I have a hard time with is 'my perception' that Coverdale was trying too hard to be Plant...though I think the Coverdale/Page colaboration did a lot to get Plant back in the mix (albeit leaving JP Jones out!!)...all in all , a lot of money, a lot of girls (though Tawny bit him in the ass in the end), no need to be great...I haven't heard any newer Snake in a long time, and I would check it out (out of curiosity, if you insist)...

The only song on Machine Head that can even be considered Metal is Highway Star. Machine Head is a damned fine Hard Rock album. Period. Blackmore is a fucking guitar genius, but a huge asshole imo.

If I was gonna give a class on the history of Metal, Machine Head would be mandatory listening!!! Maybe that is one of the reasons I posted Richie Blackmore as the greatest guitarist of all time...do I think so because of his actual playing?? Perhaps in part, but his (and the band's) influence is truly great!!
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
After Machine Head, Perfect Strangers is my favorite DP album (studio-wise). It's difficult to find some of the other studio stuff from the Purple other than compilations though.
And that the time, kicking Ozzy out of Sabbath made sense. But Sabbath isn't that good with Ian Gillian or Kevin Martin on vocals. No offense to them b/c they have great voices, but Ozzy & Dio are in a separate class. They are metal vocalists, while Ian's fits best with DP's style of hard rock, and Kevin Martin...
ronhartsell wrote:
I hate to say it, but I think kicking Ozzy out was the best thing for all...Sabbath became an even bigger monster and Ozzy's '80 release catapaulted him into a new dimension as well (thanks in part to Randy Rhodes, thanks Quiet Riot!!)...Maidens debut was awesome as well, but still a couple of years away from the machine they became!! Heaven and Hell is one of my favorite albums to date, it is timeless in my minds eye!!!!! What do you think of Deep Purples '84 release of 'Perfect Strangers'?? To me, it's another great album!!!
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
Sabbath's Technical Ectasy was a disaster. They won't play anything off that album. Never Say Die ('78 - Ozzy's last disc with Sabbath) is really good IMO. Never Say Die! itself is a rather uplifting track. The band went and found Dio and put out the classic Heaven & Hell CD - which I think is just as hard and heavy as British Steel and Maiden's debut in 80. Kiss got sucked into the disco scene and put out Dynasty and Unmasked. I will give Kiss points for trying to do a concept album. I think that while Music From "The Elder" could've been a lot better, it's also where Kiss expanded their sound from Hard Rock and made their brief transition to Metal.
ronhartsell wrote:
In retrospect probably not, but at the time I think the term 'Acid Rock' would fit?? That's a term you don't hear much these days but was thrown around regularly at the time...again, the lines have blurred through time and I certainly can't argue (and won't) that Sabbath isn't Metal, because they are, I just don't think they started out as what I would call Metal today...
...Metal, as a genre, encompasses all forms of Metal...the Godfathers of Metal would be Sabbath as they were the influence of the Metal Gods themselves, and even though we agree that Zep is not Metal, you can hear their influence in some of Priests early music as well, but they were never Metal, whereas Sabbath, the Dio years, picked up on the musical style of Metal...
...Paranoid, Sweet Leaf, Iron Man and many others definately were the standards at the time, nothing compared to 'em...but the genre was just beginning and throughout most of the 70's Hard Rock picked up steam and that is where it stayed...then Punk made a splash and then Disco came on the scene...where was Sabbath? Zep? Kiss? Maiden wasn't even born yet!!...
...Then came along a little old album called British Steel, gee, what happened next??...
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
Ron, do you own Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid or Sabotage CD's? How about Black Sabbath and Master Of Reality? These are not particularly progressive (save for certain instances), but rather they are dark, foreboding, and have a certain driving power that most bands still try emulating in the 21st century. These are definite proof positive that Black Sabbath of the 70's belongs in the Metal category. Good examples of Prog Rock are King Crimson, Rush, Pink Floyd and Queensryche. Dream Theater too. Aside from heavy riffs and such...these bands have zero in common with Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. It's like trying to compare ZZ Top and the Allman Brothers - the only thing they have in common is that they're from the South.
ronhartsell wrote:
Hey there DP...seems we pretty much agree on everything except on Sabbath, and I'm certainly not gonna tell you you're wrong!!! Of all the bands we've been discussing here lately, Sabbath would be the one band I would give a free pass to and here's why...
...when Sabbath came out they had a sound unlike any other and for a reason well documented (fingertips cut off), if it wasn't for that (?fortunate?) accident, who knows what they would have sounded like, who cares, it happend!!...it was dark, dreary, evil sounding music, and it either scared the sh*t out of you or rocked you... but to me it's more about the lyrics for 70's Sabbath that would give them the edge over other bands, not so much what the music sounded like as compared to Metal as we've grown to know it...now Sabbath of the 80's and on are Metal, not what I would consider progressive rock, which I guess is where I put Sabbath and early Priest in, a Hard/Prog Rock category...for me, I believe it was Priest with their British Steel album to be the very first, front to back Heavy Metal album...
DP, I am biased as I'm sure you're very well aware of...if anything, Priest is the band that I measure every other band against, and maybe that's not fair, but it's what works for me...

Okay, I've been listening to Hard Rock and Metal since I was 9, and I've never heard of any band called The Rods. Can someone fill me in on who these guys were?
I reckon Gary Moore to be an excellent blues-rock guitarist who was very influencial for a lot of the 80's guitar heroes. I think someone else pointed that out.
Ron, if you listen to Black Sabbath's first two CD's...Black Sabbath & Paranoid, don't you think those 2 discs instantly DEFINE Sabbath as a Metal band? I agree with your sentiment that Priest started out as Rock but transcended to Metal. I think that change took place with Sad Wings Of Destiny. Zep never was Metal and should not be considered as such. What has Led Zeppelin sung that was ever Metal? The answer: Nothing! Kiss isn't Metal either, though they have made Metal discs (some Heavy Metal, some Pop/Glam Metal), but they are basically a Hard Rock band. There is a fine but distinct line in the sand between Hard Rock and Metal. The evidence of that is rather plain to see I think. Edited at: Monday, January 26, 2009 5:19:16 AM

so many people talk about man of war. they don't get any air play. but there are people out there that swear that the band is the greatest metal band blah blah blah................ so i bought an album hoping to be blown away. sorry wasn't that impressed. it looked like a cartoon of four guys dressed as worriors on the cover in a row. a couple tracks where alright but, not what i was expecting. king diamond's band to me was much better melissa. but nobody mentions them Edited at: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 1:44:32 PM

Pantera was a necessary kick in the stomach for metal. But they didn't get airplay unless your local radio station played metal, and those are VERY few and far inbetween. I know WYSP in Philadelphia had a Metal show from like, 11pm-2am. Doubt they still have it though, since they changed formats and went back to playing hard rock from the 70's and 80's.
What about Pantera's Cowboys from Hell? A massive album and they carried the momentum going well into the mid nineties with Vulgar Display of Power, Far Beyond Driven etc.

"About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies. This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; but there is a perfectly good reason.
In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.
Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road."

When I was a young man, we rode the bus every weekend to the beach to go surfing. During summer vacation, we were on the bus just about everyday. It was a different time then. Not so many lunatics to deal with and the bus was not a big deal. Nowadays (at least here in the US) kids look down upon those that would ride the bus. The Princess has an older son (about 20) that would rather drive a shard of glass through his neck than step on the bus. It is disgusting, really.

Oh, and I also know that you werent kidding about the princess stuff. Young I may be, but I know how the machine we call "woman" functions.
As for public transport, the math is simple really. If I was to buy a car, I would have to spend at least 2 to 3 thousand € just for the car (used car, at least 10 years old, probably French or Italian). Plus some 500€ on registration, and a fortune on gas (which is almost twice as expensive here than at your end). On the other hand, the bus pass costs me 17€ per month. What am I going to choose?

When I was a young man, we rode the bus every weekend to the beach to go surfing. During summer vacation, we were on the bus just about everyday. It was a different time then. Not so many lunatics to deal with and the bus was not a big deal. Nowadays (at least here in the US) kids look down upon those that would ride the bus. The Princess has an older son (about 20) that would rather drive a shard of glass through his neck than step on the bus. It is disgusting, really. But, I am old and I know nothing of being a "cool" kid, right?
I received my first car as a birthday present when I turned 16. I have owned my own car ever since.

Oh, and I also know that you werent kidding about the princess stuff. Young I may be, but I know how the machine we call "woman" functions.
As for public transport, the math is simple really. If I was to buy a car, I would have to spend at least 2 to 3 thousand € just for the car (used car, at least 10 years old, probably French or Italian). Plus some 500€ on registration, and a fortune on gas (which is almost twice as expensive here than at your end). On the other hand, the bus pass costs me 17€ per month. What am I going to choose? And I dont even have to drive the damn thing.

After Machine Head, Perfect Strangers is my favorite DP album (studio-wise). It's difficult to find some of the other studio stuff from the Purple other than compilations though.
And that the time, kicking Ozzy out of Sabbath made sense. But Sabbath isn't that good with Ian Gillian or Kevin Martin on vocals. No offense to them b/c they have great voices, but Ozzy & Dio are in a separate class. They are metal vocalists, while Ian's fits best with DP's style of hard rock, and Kevin Martin...

I hate to say it, but I think kicking Ozzy out was the best thing for all...Sabbath became an even bigger monster and Ozzy's '80 release catapaulted him into a new dimension as well (thanks in part to Randy Rhodes, thanks Quiet Riot!!)...Maidens debut was awesome as well, but still a couple of years away from the machine they became!! Heaven and Hell is one of my favorite albums to date, it is timeless in my minds eye!!!!! What do you think of Deep Purples '84 release of 'Perfect Strangers'?? To me, it's another great album!!!
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
Sabbath's Technical Ectasy was a disaster. They won't play anything off that album. Never Say Die ('78 - Ozzy's last disc with Sabbath) is really good IMO. Never Say Die! itself is a rather uplifting track. The band went and found Dio and put out the classic Heaven & Hell CD - which I think is just as hard and heavy as British Steel and Maiden's debut in 80. Kiss got sucked into the disco scene and put out Dynasty and Unmasked. I will give Kiss points for trying to do a concept album. I think that while Music From "The Elder" could've been a lot better, it's also where Kiss expanded their sound from Hard Rock and made their brief transition to Metal.
ronhartsell wrote:
In retrospect probably not, but at the time I think the term 'Acid Rock' would fit?? That's a term you don't hear much these days but was thrown around regularly at the time...again, the lines have blurred through time and I certainly can't argue (and won't) that Sabbath isn't Metal, because they are, I just don't think they started out as what I would call Metal today...
...Metal, as a genre, encompasses all forms of Metal...the Godfathers of Metal would be Sabbath as they were the influence of the Metal Gods themselves, and even though we agree that Zep is not Metal, you can hear their influence in some of Priests early music as well, but they were never Metal, whereas Sabbath, the Dio years, picked up on the musical style of Metal...
...Paranoid, Sweet Leaf, Iron Man and many others definately were the standards at the time, nothing compared to 'em...but the genre was just beginning and throughout most of the 70's Hard Rock picked up steam and that is where it stayed...then Punk made a splash and then Disco came on the scene...where was Sabbath? Zep? Kiss? Maiden wasn't even born yet!!...
...Then came along a little old album called British Steel, gee, what happened next??...
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
Ron, do you own Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid or Sabotage CD's? How about Black Sabbath and Master Of Reality? These are not particularly progressive (save for certain instances), but rather they are dark, foreboding, and have a certain driving power that most bands still try emulating in the 21st century. These are definite proof positive that Black Sabbath of the 70's belongs in the Metal category. Good examples of Prog Rock are King Crimson, Rush, Pink Floyd and Queensryche. Dream Theater too. Aside from heavy riffs and such...these bands have zero in common with Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. It's like trying to compare ZZ Top and the Allman Brothers - the only thing they have in common is that they're from the South.
ronhartsell wrote:
Hey there DP...seems we pretty much agree on everything except on Sabbath, and I'm certainly not gonna tell you you're wrong!!! Of all the bands we've been discussing here lately, Sabbath would be the one band I would give a free pass to and here's why...
...when Sabbath came out they had a sound unlike any other and for a reason well documented (fingertips cut off), if it wasn't for that (?fortunate?) accident, who knows what they would have sounded like, who cares, it happend!!...it was dark, dreary, evil sounding music, and it either scared the sh*t out of you or rocked you... but to me it's more about the lyrics for 70's Sabbath that would give them the edge over other bands, not so much what the music sounded like as compared to Metal as we've grown to know it...now Sabbath of the 80's and on are Metal, not what I would consider progressive rock, which I guess is where I put Sabbath and early Priest in, a Hard/Prog Rock category...for me, I believe it was Priest with their British Steel album to be the very first, front to back Heavy Metal album...
DP, I am biased as I'm sure you're very well aware of...if anything, Priest is the band that I measure every other band against, and maybe that's not fair, but it's what works for me...
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
Okay, I've been listening to Hard Rock and Metal since I was 9, and I've never heard of any band called The Rods. Can someone fill me in on who these guys were?
I reckon Gary Moore to be an excellent blues-rock guitarist who was very influencial for a lot of the 80's guitar heroes. I think someone else pointed that out.
Ron, if you listen to Black Sabbath's first two CD's...Black Sabbath & Paranoid, don't you think those 2 discs instantly DEFINE Sabbath as a Metal band? I agree with your sentiment that Priest started out as Rock but transcended to Metal. I think that change took place with Sad Wings Of Destiny. Zep never was Metal and should not be considered as such. What has Led Zeppelin sung that was ever Metal? The answer: Nothing! Kiss isn't Metal either, though they have made Metal discs (some Heavy Metal, some Pop/Glam Metal), but they are basically a Hard Rock band. There is a fine but distinct line in the sand between Hard Rock and Metal. The evidence of that is rather plain to see I think. Edited at: Monday, January 26, 2009 5:19:16 AM

"About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies. This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; but there is a perfectly good reason.
In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.
Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road."

But the winters here are horrible...the fish pond here (Lake Michigan) is responsible for a lot of what is called 'lake effect snow', and it can literally dump 20" of snow in a moments notice...very unpredictable winter weather...please blow a little of that Aussie air our way?!?!?!

Winter, Well let's just say it gets to about 22 - 25'C during the day and down to about 6 - 10'C over night... very pleasant. The only thing I don't like is getting cold feet, but socks fix that
It's bucketing down here, 26'C.... It's finally cooled off after the long weekend. Ahhhh beautiful..

Sabbath's Technical Ectasy was a disaster. They won't play anything off that album. Never Say Die ('78 - Ozzy's last disc with Sabbath) is really good IMO. Never Say Die! itself is a rather uplifting track. The band went and found Dio and put out the classic Heaven & Hell CD - which I think is just as hard and heavy as British Steel and Maiden's debut in 80. Kiss got sucked into the disco scene and put out Dynasty and Unmasked. I will give Kiss points for trying to do a concept album. I think that while Music From "The Elder" could've been a lot better, it's also where Kiss expanded their sound from Hard Rock and made their brief transition to Metal.
In retrospect probably not, but at the time I think the term 'Acid Rock' would fit?? That's a term you don't hear much these days but was thrown around regularly at the time...again, the lines have blurred through time and I certainly can't argue (and won't) that Sabbath isn't Metal, because they are, I just don't think they started out as what I would call Metal today...
...Metal, as a genre, encompasses all forms of Metal...the Godfathers of Metal would be Sabbath as they were the influence of the Metal Gods themselves, and even though we agree that Zep is not Metal, you can hear their influence in some of Priests early music as well, but they were never Metal, whereas Sabbath, the Dio years, picked up on the musical style of Metal...
...Paranoid, Sweet Leaf, Iron Man and many others definately were the standards at the time, nothing compared to 'em...but the genre was just beginning and throughout most of the 70's Hard Rock picked up steam and that is where it stayed...then Punk made a splash and then Disco came on the scene...where was Sabbath? Zep? Kiss? Maiden wasn't even born yet!!...
...Then came along a little old album called British Steel, gee, what happened next??...

Ron, if you listen to Black Sabbath's first two CD's...Black Sabbath & Paranoid, don't you think those 2 discs instantly DEFINE Sabbath as a Metal band? I agree with your sentiment that Priest started out as Rock but transcended to Metal. I think that change took place with Sad Wings Of Destiny. Zep never was Metal and should not be considered as such. What has Led Zeppelin sung that was ever Metal? The answer: Nothing! Kiss isn't Metal either, though they have made Metal discs (some Heavy Metal, some Pop/Glam Metal), but they are basically a Hard Rock band.

Philly's not that bad. Just stick to the downtown, the sports complex in South Philly, and Columbus Blvd (formerly known as Delaware Avenue and sometimes still referred to as such). Northeast Philly is fine too, but there isn't much to do up there. A lot of things to do in the area are out in the suburbs (shopping, Valley Forge National Park, etc...).

I agree flash. But Rush has always been a progressive-sounding band. Look at them from a purely lyrical aspect. Alot of their lyrics are centered around unusual themes (like Sabbath, King Crimson and a host of others). However, I lost interest in Rush after the 2112 album. Most of their songs were too weird and I couldn't relate to a lot of it anyway (seriously, who gives a crap about Bastille Day other than the French?). I only own Rush's Retrospective 1974-80 because of this. One of my co-workers lent me their last studio recording, and it was nothing I could really get into from a lyrical standpoint. Whereas, I could relate to a lot of Black Sabbath's music - regardless of who's on vocals. Sabbath's music is just more interesting and powerful.
Ron, Sabbath absolutely terrified me when I bought Paranoid and listened to Planet Caravan. That song gave me nightmares for a week when I was a teen! I stopped buying their other stuff until I heard Changes and Black Sabbath on Ozzy's Live & Loud CD. From there, I guess you can say my journey towards the dark side had begun?
ok, another band with another story. there first 4 albums, or 8 tracks. where hard. then the next two where alittle hard, you could tell they where going a different direction with their music. than instead of going back to their roots, they went commerical. they got progressive. they are still a ok band, but what if they started playing metal. this band you can guess RUSH they are rockers but to me there just rush. dare to be different. some of their ablums really suck too. to bad. (also have memories it the back seat of an oldsmoble delta 88 with all worlds astage blasting)

Actually, I sorta enjoyed some of the music of the glam scene. Poison, Cinderella and Ratt to name a few. Just because a band is a glam rock/metal band, doesn't mean they're inferior to other bands. I think that's silly. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Cobras-Aura from Monday, January 26, 2009 1:37:29 PM)

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 have to agree with you for the most part, Cobras...I too got swept up in the grunge movement of the 90's and went the popular alternative music route during that decade for the most part. Oh, I still listened and jammed to the big hair 80's music I grew up with (f-you for trashing them btw ), was one of the first 5 million or so to buy G'n'R's masterful Use Your Illusion CDs, and stuck with Metallica during their foray into Alt Metal.
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).

Yes, this had to be the ultimate year of hard rock & heavy metal music. After declining in the mid to late 80s in the face of hair metal, glam rock and desperate attempts to reconcile with fans by inserting the bland glammy style into their music....at least as far as heavy metal was concerned, they came around victorious baring their teeth with razor sharp records that came out in the 1990/1991 era. Of course, bands such as Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Dangerous Toys & Racer X were immune to the glam syndrome in the second half of the '80s. Nonetheless, 1990/1991 brought out a fresher, heavier, faster and meaner sound and style than what could ever be offered during these bands' pinnacle in the early '80s. Songs such as Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid, Guns N' Roses' You Could Be Mine, Skid Row's Slave To The Grind & Get The Fuck Out, AC/DC's Thunderstruck, Dangerous Toys' Teasn' Pleasn', Whitesnake's Cheap N' Nasty & Slip Of The Tongue (late '89 but we can squeeze it in as '90), Ozzy Osbourne's Mr Tinkertrain, Desire & No More Tears and of course....Judas Priest's almighty Painkiller, All Guns Blazing, Metal Meltdown & One Shot At Glory, will all remain testament to as solid, clear and fresh sounding as a hard rock / heavy metal act can get. This era brought us fast, heavy, solid, balls to the walls music for one more victorious round before the grunge would eventually take over. Edited at: Monday, January 26, 2009 4:42:43 AM

It had NO steering and you HAD TO HAVE both hands on the steering wheel at all times. The first new car I ever owned was my 98 Honda Civic. 265,000+ miles and not a problem. I miss that car almost as much I miss my dog.

Now Heavy Metal has an identity all it's own, there are elements to it that you can find in no other genre, same with Death Metal, Country, Disco, Opera. But regular Metal and HARD ROCK or HEAVY Rock is the same thing. Pioneering Heavy Metal bands that we call that nowadays was referred as Hard Rock until the 1980's. I mean the first time I ever heard a band called Heavy Metal was Van Halen, in 1982 and that was by a fan, who I would not lump into the genre.
As far as Triumph goes, the band themselves have stated hundreds of times that they never threw themselves into the genre because they didn't want to be categorized, since they felt it limited what a band could do. Mike Levine even once said they were a band who belongs in the "Music Genre". It is also hard to place them in Metal because the majority of their songs are more upbeat and are about inspiration, but that is only to those who believe they have 'Three Weak Ass Songs'. Triumph's first two albums feature topics like Murder, Drug Lords, Smuggling, Torture, Prostituion, Destruction, Partying, Domestic Violence, Abuse.
And what else is funny is when Triumph introduced the idea of complete CONCEPT ALBUM in the Metal genre, they did the one thing that no one this side of the Who and Savatage ever did, they actually made their lone concept album a story about the future. If you listen to the bands seventh album, THUNDER SEVEN, it describes in grave detail the way the world would exist in the 21st century, with the age of machines, technology and the loss of humanity. The superb thing is it was recorded in 1984, sixteen years before the time period they wrote about began. Maybe Judas Priest should have written a concept album about their prophecy, at least theirs is undisputable.

I have to agree with you for the most part, Cobras...I too got swept up in the grunge movement of the 90's and went the popular alternative music route during that decade for the most part. Oh, I still listened and jammed to the big hair 80's music I grew up with (f-you for trashing them btw ), was one of the first 5 million or so to buy G'n'R's masterful Use Your Illusion CDs, and stuck with Metallica during their foray into Alt Metal.
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).

Yes, this had to be the ultimate year of hard rock & heavy metal music. After declining in the mid to late 80s in the face of hair metal, glam rock and desperate attempts to reconcile with fans by inserting the bland glammy style into their music....at least as far as heavy metal was concerned, they came around victorious baring their teeth with razor sharp records that came out in the 1990/1991 era. Of course, bands such as Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Dangerous Toys & Racer X were immune to the glam syndrome in the second half of the '80s. Nonetheless, 1990/1991 brought out a fresher, heavier, faster and meaner sound and style than what could ever be offered during these bands' pinnacle in the early '80s. Songs such as Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid, Guns N' Roses' You Could Be Mine, Skid Row's Slave To The Grind & Get The Fuck Out, AC/DC's Thunderstruck, Dangerous Toys' Teasn' Pleasn', Whitesnake's Cheap N' Nasty & Slip Of The Tongue (late '89 but we can squeeze it in as '90), Ozzy Osbourne's Mr Tinkertrain, Desire & No More Tears and of course....Judas Priest's almighty Painkiller, All Guns Blazing, Metal Meltdown & One Shot At Glory, will all remain testament to as solid, clear and fresh sounding as a hard rock / heavy metal act can get. This era brought us fast, heavy, solid, balls to the walls music for one more victorious round before the grunge would eventually take over. Edited at: Monday, January 26, 2009 4:42:43 AM

Okay, I've been listening to Hard Rock and Metal since I was 9, and I've never heard of any band called The Rods. Can someone fill me in on who these guys were?
I reckon Gary Moore to be an excellent blues-rock guitarist who was very influencial for a lot of the 80's guitar heroes. I think someone else pointed that out.
Ron, if you listen to Black Sabbath's first two CD's...Black Sabbath & Paranoid, don't you think those 2 discs instantly DEFINE Sabbath as a Metal band? I agree with your sentiment that Priest started out as Rock but transcended to Metal. I think that change took place with Sad Wings Of Destiny. Zep never was Metal and should not be considered as such. What has Led Zeppelin sung that was ever Metal? The answer: Nothing! Kiss isn't Metal either, though they have made Metal discs (some Heavy Metal, some Pop/Glam Metal), but they are basically a Hard Rock band. There is a fine but distinct line in the sand between Hard Rock and Metal. The evidence of that is rather plain to see I think. Edited at: Monday, January 26, 2009 5:19:16 AM

I think the band should keep Between the Hammer & the Anvil in the set list. I really hope they play Sinner and Death when they hit Philadelphia again. Maybe take out Rock Hard Ride Free and replace it with Ram It Down, and replace Prophecy with either Exciter or Judas Rising.
Also, they need to take the show indoors to the Wachovia Center...More people can fit in there than the outdoorsy Susquehanna Bank Center. I think presumably, the band can play their full set w/o worrying about the noise curfew b.s..

Whenever I listen to the Nostradamus album, I think about how amazing it would be as a movie. Especially the part with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I mean come on. Though I doubt there will ever be such a movie, I just thought I'd share my opinion. I want to know who else agrees that this would make an excellent movie.

You are correct on all counts. Rik Emmett is an amazing player. But he flies below radar these days, I know he has his new signature guitar from Dean, that resembles his old V from Triumph`s heyday.
He, like Glenn and KK , is one of the under appreciated players in the world. But hey! Here`s to a mighty comeback should Rik so desire one.
Luvers666 wrote:
I think it is sad that only a totalof six mentions of Rik Emmett was done on all 27 pages of this topic. I began listening to Triumph and Judas Priest the same year, 1978, and they both are tied on several things.
But in terms of ability and influence, rather directly or indirectly, no Metal guitarist is better than Mr. Rik Emmett. All kinds of guitar players you all mentioned have claimed to be influenced by the man, for instance:
Steve Vai - Started playing eclectic guitar because of Rik Emmett
Joe Satriani - Started playing guitar period because of Rik Emmett
Eddie Van Halen - Admitted taking the ideas that are featured on Eruption and Mean Street after watching Rik Emmett(Triumph) play a gig in Canada in 1975, when Van Halen was still called Mammoth
Glenn Tipton - Wrote the Hell Bent For Leather and Call For The Priest solo after listening to Rock And Roll Machine
Dave Murray - Decided to take the punk sounding guitars used by Rik Emmett on Triumph's first two albums, one being Rock And Roll Machine
Randy Rhoads - Found a love for Classical because of Rik Emmett, his two favorite classical pieces are: El Duende Agonizante and Fantasy Serenade.
In 1972 Rik Emmett was in a band called Act III, which was the first time an audience ever got to hear the song Blinding Light Show, which features both shredding on a 12 string classical and 12-string electric, without a break. And the following year Tony Iommi and Black Sabbath recorded Spiral Architect which throughout the song features the same exact rhythm section.
Triumph was the first metal band to ever feature Jazz, Classical, Bluegrass, Waltz, Spanish Flamenco techniques or complete songs. Not to mention their ability to pend songs that were commercial yet heavy, makes them either the inventors or the biggest influence on starting the Glam Metal scene, which rather you like it or not, was a good and lucrative sub genre of Heavy Metal. They were also the first to write a Speed Metal song(Street Fighter Man) while the first to ever write a staple of Metal, light verse to Heavy Metal chorus(Bringing Love To You) and the first ever Punk Metal song(Rock And Roll Machine) which was also the first song to ever have a true Shredding guitar solo.
Triumph also goes down in history as the first ever true Metal band of any kind to release a complete uninteruppted concept album, that was not only loosely based, that album was Thunder Seven, which I highly reccomend to all of you. Plus Rik Emmett was the main songwriter behind all their ideas.
And since what also makes Rik Emmett so amazing is that he has done these genres:
Metal
Heavy Metal
Punk Metal
Speed Metal
Thrash Metal
Opera
Country
Bluegrass
World
Jazz(Acid, Smooth, 12-bar, arch-top type, swing, acoustic, bar room)
Every form of classical
every form of blues

Why is it that I should drool over a man that has not done a thing as president, other than have dark skin color??? WHY? Because he is the first? Whoopee. That is not in the job description and will make NO difference when he actually has to do something. For all of this talk (and it clearly was only talk) that he "transcends" race, he and his sycophants are sure quick to scream about his color! Jeez, it is still on the local stations!
I have been in the position of "losing" the election in my life.I can handle that. I did not vote for Clinton either time! I got over it. Sure enough, for all of his hype, he proved to be just what I thought he was. I truly hope I am wrong about Obama. I want him to do well. It will serve me personally and that is important! But this is just too much. It has reached the point of stupidity. (Quoting Message by Head banger from Tuesday, January 20, 2009 3:02:48 PM)

Screw jousting! Give me a loaded .45 and I'll take your bloody head off! LOL!
DC, it does not surprise me that only former British colonies (and jolly ol' England itself) drive on the wrong side of the road. You guys need to get with the times...The days of the horse and carriage and jousting is far in the past (unless you're into those Renaissance Faires).
Strat, I stand corrected on the inventor of the automobile. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by _strat_ from Friday, January 23, 2009 1:23:21 AM)

Oh, yeah, I forgot that besides driving on the wrong side of the road, you also have the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car... But yeah, its better for jousitng, for all the good it does you.Or you can play at being Mad Max and just ram the fucker...

Easy! Jousting pole out the drivers side window, left hand on gear stick, feet on the pedals.... just hope to God my wheel alignment is in good shape cos i won't be able to stear whilst changing gears.....

Ah, the good old days... When speeding was punished with decapitation. I wonder how they handled horses "exhaust fumes", tho.
Might add that I would love to see how you could joust and change gears at the same time...

Oh yeah i knew it!!! I payed attention in school....
"About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies. This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; but there is a perfectly good reason.
In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.
Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road."
Class dismissed!!! Mwahahahaha!! -Might add that if i feel the need to joust in traffic i'm in a better position...!

Nah, he will take over any thread. Frankly, I think it would be reasonable just to create another thread with the same title, just to start on topic discussion from scratch...

Well, the Ruskies dont like us, since they shut down the gas supplies (although - better Russians closing the gas, than Germans letting it), and I already live in a capitalist country... So, how worse can it get?

Star Trek Enterprise: Kobyashi Maru
Just finished Nikki Sixx's Heroin Diaries. All I have to say is, "Wow". Really eye-opening stuff. You get inside the guy's head for a whole year, and see the vicious cycle he's caught in with touring, drugs, the hangers-on, and so forth. It brings the very real problems of dealing with addiction, loss, a fucked-up childhood, and a dysfunctional band and way of life into the open for everyone to see. I highly recommend it.

Granted, I was to young to remember it, but I still think that if we only take the military into consideration, I would have a much better reason to hate socialism than you. I dont, because the military doesnt have the slightest connection with the economic system that is socialism.

As for my views of Communism, yes some would be a result of "propaganda". The other portion of it came from F-16's screaming over my house to meet the Bear bombers coming over the North Pole and escort them down to the Carolina's. The next morning there would be a picture on the front page of the paper with the bomber and it's fighter escort. This happened a couple of time a month. I always knew what was happening. Normally, the fighters flew a circular pattern around the neighborhood for exercises. When it was time for business, they screamed right over the house and it shook like an earthquake.

Communism as a political ideology actualy supports full democratic decision making in regards to how busineses should be run. It is in the Manifesto, and has been advocated (although admitedly not actualy carried out as it should have been) by all socialist regimes so far.
And that was not a joke. I do not know the details for other parts of Yugoslavia (although it is a fact that the elections took place in all republics and both autonomous provinces), but in Slovenia the elections were held on the 11th November 1945. The parties were those that were on the winning side in WW2, and included the Communist Party, the Social Democrats and the Christian Socialists. Although I do not remeber the exact percentage of the vote, the Communist party won with well over 50% (come to think of it, it was higher even than that). Also, they were the first elections in our history where women were allowed to vote.
Do not think for a minute that just because you live in a so called "free country", that there is no propaganda. Infact the anti-communist propaganda in the USA is something that even Goebbels would have been proud of.
Moving on... As far as Im concerned, any minute spent on designing, manufacturing and above all using weapons is a minute wasted. Shame that the people who do it always think that they should use it as well, making us all inseczre and threatened.
And unions... Was it their idea? Did they come up with it? Not bloody likely. What I find much more likely is that the CEOs and managers didnt want to give up what would have been a small part of their spoils, and instead moved the factories to China.
And as I said, creativity can be good or bad, depending on how we use it, so I agree on the atomic energy bit.
Accordingly can be difficult to decide, I know. I like to compare it to freedom. You only get as much as you can without interfering in somebody elses. I guess this should apply to dealing the profit as well? That is something that should be thought on. Though right now not by me, because I will be going to bed shortly. So, if I am MIA, that means good night, and see you tomorrow.

" Blue collar " is a term used to describe the working class. The "get your hands dirty" portion of the workforce.
Elections ? That's funny ! You always have that sense of humor. I think that aside from knowing our history, we need a little more realism and honesty. Communism has NEVER supported open and honest elections.
"Lavishly rewarding the musician is not a requirement for the musician to make good music" ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREED.
Kalashnikov's design of the AK-47 was extremely creative. A "blue collar" weapon and deserving of all the credit he has received. It's influence being positive or negative is perspective.
This is where we disagree the most. Creativity is EVERYTHING. It is ideas . . . invention . . . something from nothing ! Atomic energy was an amazing discovery that has changed the world, both for better and worse. It creates power for lighting, heat, etc. It also has the power to take lives. The idea has no contribution until the user decides how to use it.
Now to "how it is used": outsourcing. We have come full circle. UNIONS ! Unions created outsourcing. They created an atmosphere where there is no loyalty ( yes, I already know the return fire but if we are at unions we are beyond the point prior to their creation ) The pendulum swung the other direction and the employees ( unions ) became the ogre in the workplace "creating" the necessity to find a cheaper workforce in order to supply the same product at an affordable price. It's a vicious circle. The worker wants more to afford wants, the company charges more for the goods to pay the employee, the prices of goods go up and worker want more to afford them, etc . . .
Lastly, I would like to know what you consider accordingly and who decides that ? Here, the market decides. If one is willing to pay for it, it is "accordingly". If the market considers it out of line, purchases cease and the product either dies or the price is adjusted to suit the willingness of the consumer to buy.

First of all, could you please explain "blue collar"? First time I hear of that term.
Well, the communist party had a very wide public support, that was expressed in very well documented and trasparent elections right after WW2, and with the popluar support during the war itself. But I think its better that we leave this subject behind. Im sure that we each know the history of our nations.
As for Priest, I dont exactly know how they actualy do business. I know how business is done in my area of expertise, and Im coming out of that position. Tho I will say that lavishly rewarding the musician is not a requierment for the musician to make good music.
Ok, creativity... First of all we need to make clear what creativity are we talking about. Mikhail Kalashnikov was very creative and inovative when he designed the AK-47, but that doesnt necesarily mean that his invention was a positive contribution to the humanity. Infact, it was quite the opposite, as is with practicly every weapon that was, is, or will be designed. What Im basicly trying to say is that creativity is not an inherently good thing. It entirely depends on how it is used and for what. A business example: outsourcing. I guess that when ot first came along it was creative. Move the work to somewhere where its cheaper, save money, higher profits, the CEO bags more money in rewards. Workers in developed countries lost their jobs, while workers in 3rd world countries got jobs... That are more similar to slavery than employment.
Sure creativity can be used for "good", or so to speak, but we must be carefull about what is good, for whom and why is it good. And reward it accordingly, instead of lavishly.

I have to say that this is incredibly interesting to see how the same subject is viewed from different perspectives. I understand your point about the work environment being created by and serving the community without the need for an individuals desires for greatness. It's a very "blue collar" view as we would call it.
I'm not exactly so sure that the entrance and exit of communism was as voluntary as you would like to believe and there are ALWAYS foreign governments influencing EVERYTHING. No matter what country you are in. Even here.
As for the Priest, I give them far more credit than you. I'm no expert, but I've played "the game" at the elementary level. At this point in their career, the record company had better be the ones serving them or they have done something drastically wrong. Look at Rob. He has made bold moves to gain as much control of his "product" as possible. Look at how he distributes his music, mostly via download eliminating the "middle man".
The one thing I think you are not allowing to enter the equation is creativity. This is one of the primary aspects of a capitalist economy and that is why it can be so richly rewarded.
_strat_ wrote:
Well, I still think that it is very much correct. The enviroment is created by all the people that work for it. A company would not be able to hire new employees, if it wasnt for the old employees making enough profit to make it possible. Now, I know that it had to start somewhere, with some guy who just started a business and employed an assistant, or something similar, but the further we go from there, the more alienated the leadership will become with the rest of the employees. My work enviroment was not created by the CEO of my company. It was created by the people that worked in a particular section of the company that decided that they need another employee to get the work done. And with my work I am repaying for it.
Now, you totaly missed the next point. We went under "communist control" as you put it, volountarily, just as we left it volountarily, in both cases with certain sacrifices and a strong popular support, without the intervention of "foreign governments". But that is beside the point, really. What I was trying to illustrate is that there are alternatives to capitalist mode of production, and we had one of it, that was working well. Most of the companies that still form the bulk of our economy today were not created in private hands. They were created in a socialist, state-planned economy. They were created not because of "one mans dream of greatness" or anything like that. They were established when and where there was need for them, and they were developed and expanded accordingly. And more importantly, they were not created by one man that would make great risks or sacrifices. They were made collectively, and served the entire society, instead of one mans pocket. Im also absolutely sure that we are not the only such example. They can be found all over the former eastern bloc, even in the "evil empire", the former USSR. Now, say what you want about communism and red scare, and stuff like that, but that aproach to economy is better than just letting the busineses to do what they want, and then throw billions at them when they are in trouble.
If anything, Judas Priest serve a corporation that is their record company, and it is exactly because of the greed of the record companies that we have to pay such ridiculously high prices for the music.
TIMBONI wrote:
Unfortunately, it would be the fifth time you have incorrectly pointed out that. It is NOT the poor that have created the environment in which they work. It is the "rich" or at least someone who is able to "risk" that has done that. You claim is was not the CEO that took the risk. In some instances you are correct, in others you are not. How big of a company are we speaking ? In most of the environments that you and I might earn a living, the CEO is the one that took the risk. We don't all work for IBM, GM or other such initialed companies.
There are always risks. It's just a matter of who took them. In your case, your country took them. Along with the backing of all the countries that did not want your country to come under communist control. Do not for one minute think that there was no risk. It was just not by an individual, it was by multiple governments. I agree that there are many alternatives to capitalism, but let's be clear when we speak.
By the way, I would check carefully. Although I have not checked myself, I would almost be willing to bet that Judas Priest is a corporation. I agree that, to make a point, I stretched the subject but at this point Judas Priest is not just artistic. They took a chance ( risk ) and are reaping the rewards. They had an idea and are reaping the rewards. They employ a workforce and do not necessarily share their income equally with that workforce even though they would be back in the clubs without them.
Think ! It might not be what you want to hear, but it's a perfect comparison !

Youre not reading well, in that case. "For no other reason than that the poor want what the rich have"? I say that the poor create what the rich have. I think this has to be about the fifth time I made that point in the course of this discussion.
How does the employer judge what we earn? If anything the employer judges what we will get. There is a massive difference between the two. We can, as you say, accept it or not. But the fact is that we need jobs. And if every employer is only willing to give us so much... What power of choice do we actualy have? Only the power to pick the lesser of many evils. Thank the unions for their historic role, since its because of them and because of the two centuries worth of class struggles that there are at least some minimums that an employer has to fulfill! They cannot give us less than the minimal wage, cannot force us to work longer than the maximum work hours, and cannot fire us for looking at them the wrong way. But outside of that, its still the game of supply and demand... But with people instead of products.
Risk... Ok, someone took the risk. It can be done without it, but lets forget about that for a line or two. Was it the CEO of a big and well established corporation that took the risk to create it? No. Was it the great grandson that inherited the business? No. Sure, some people had to take risks, but then again, how do you value that risk in terms of money? Not to mention that we can do it without risks. We established our entire post-WW2 economy within the framweork of state planning. No one took big loans, no one risked his/her home, yet we developed big and succesfull companies, that are still alive and well! There are plenty alternatives to the capitalist economy, and the capitalist way of doing business.
Judas Priest are not a corporation. They are a band, and their greatness comes from skill and musicianship. You took my statement well out of context here, since I think you know perfectly well what sort of "greatness" I was refering to, since we were tlaking about economy and big corporations.
TIMBONI wrote:
I really cannot believe what I am reading. If I understand you correctly, you want Robin Hood. Take from the rich and give to the poor for no other reason than that the poor want what the rich have. You state that the working class " should be getting what they earn". Who judges what they earn. I'll tell you who. The employer that hired them at a certain wage for a certain job. The employee either accepts this or not. The power is actually with the worker at this point. If the worker takes the job, DON'T COMPLAIN !
You also state that "upper clases that get rediculously more than they earn". It's not entirely about "earning". It's also about risk. I believe HB has already gone into this, but to cut to the chase it's gambling. Someone risked their money, home, savings, future, etc on an idea and they deserve the lion share of the return for that. Their willingness to risk themselves for this return created the jobs for the workers. If people did not risk, the jobs would not exist.
Now let's get to "stiffling greatness . . . why the fuck not ? ". Let's make it obvious. We are all on a Judas Priest site chatting. This site would not exist because the band would not exist. They would never, AND I DO MEAN NEVER, have gone through what they did if they were required to share it all with those that did not experience those sacrifices with them. Without the possibility of great reward, there will never be any great sacrifice. Thus we all become mediocre and plain and the world SUCKS for all of us.

Ok, leave if you want, but I will still answer this, and maybe someone else will pick up the flag...
THAT is terribly falacious. The whole point that I was making about the subject of capitalism is that we (or you or me, whichever way you put it), should be getting what we earn. Not to share it with the upper classes that get ridicilously more than they earn, since more often than not they earn nothing at all. What "greater good"? What "plight of the struggling labourer"? Sure, both these things could be used to describe socialism, as something which aims to achieve the "greater good" of all by fighting the "plight of the struggling labourer", but its really down to we getting what we earn. The difference between the two of us here would be that you think that capitalism can give that opportunity, while I do not, and I think I listed plenty of reasons for that. "Spreading the wealth" is imo a part of this, for reasons that I have already presented as well.
"Stiffling greatness"... Why the fuck not? If the great cannot be great without the help of mediocre ( as is the case)... Should they be great at all? And of course, how do you generaly define "better"? Is someone that is prepared to take risks that endanger him/herself and tons of other people really great... Or just plain irresponsible and dumb? And, when does one accomplish greatness? Is it when one has a huge corporation? What is so great about that?

Spreading the wealth is a fine sentiment but it give no incentive to the great to be great. I could not care less about the "plight of the struggling laborer". We all have our lot in life.
Now, I realize that last comment opens me up for a bunch of nastiness but I suppose I will accept that. The truly great men (and women) in the world are better. They strive to be more. To accomplish more. They strive for greatness. Some people do not have these lofty aspirations. They are content to be mediocre. Worse, there are those that would have the few be great and the mediocre be allowed to reap the benefits. No thank you. I do not care for what one person believes is "right". That makes NO difference to me. Fairness can go that way as well. If I am better, and I produce more and I accomplish greatness, I do not see why I should share that with a slug. I want more. I earned every bit. I stood above the others. I took the risk. That is how it is. If a company recognizes that and rewards me, that is just as it should be.
I do not advocate "firing" someone because I find a guy that can do his job "10 minutes faster". I advocate hiring that faster guy, too! Now I have TWO guys working and , with any luck, the slower one will find motivation in competition. If not, he can stay in his position so long as he DOES HIS JOB!! The faster guy may get promoted, who knows? I suppose it depends on how valuble time is to my company! As long as you are doing what you are paid to do, you should feel relatively safe. In difficult times, the faster guy might be more valuble? This is business not a contest to save people's feelings. Don't like that? OPEN YOUR OWN BUSINESS and do it YOUR way.

Strat, what BSE means is that whenever countries ask for American or British help, we jump in and assist.

Also, they were the first elections in our history where women were allowed to vote.
Do not think for a minute that just because you live in a so called "free country", that there is no propaganda. Infact the anti-communist propaganda in the USA is something that even Goebbels would have been proud of.

And as I said, creativity can be good or bad, depending on how we use it, so I agree on the atomic energy bit.

"Lavishly rewarding the musician is not a requirement for the musician to make good music" ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREED.
Kalashnikov's design of the AK-47 was extremely creative. A "blue collar" weapon and deserving of all the credit he has received. It's influence being positive or negative is perspective.
This is where we disagree the most. Creativity is EVERYTHING. It is ideas . . . invention . . . something from nothing ! Atomic energy was an amazing discovery that has changed the world, both for better and worse. It creates power for lighting, heat, etc. It also has the power to take lives. The idea has no contribution until the user decides how to use it.
Now to "how it is used": outsourcing. We have come full circle. UNIONS ! Unions created outsourcing. They created an atmosphere where there is no loyalty ( yes, I already know the return fire but if we are at unions we are beyond the point prior to their creation ) The pendulum swung the other direction and the employees ( unions ) became the ogre in the workplace "creating" the necessity to find a cheaper workforce in order to supply the same product at an affordable price. It's a vicious circle. The worker wants more to afford wants, the company charges more for the goods to pay the employee, the prices of goods go up and worker want more to afford them, etc . . .
Lastly, I would like to know what you consider accordingly and who decides that ? Here, the market decides. If one is willing to pay for it, it is "accordingly". If the market considers it out of line, purchases cease and the product either dies or the price is adjusted to suit the willingness of the consumer to buy.

First of all, could you please explain "blue collar"? First time I hear of that term.
Well, the communist party had a very wide public support, that was expressed in very well documented and trasparent elections right after WW2, and with the popluar support during the war itself. But I think its better that we leave this subject behind. Im sure that we each know the history of our nations.
As for Priest, I dont exactly know how they actualy do business. I know how business is done in my area of expertise, and Im coming out of that position. Tho I will say that lavishly rewarding the musician is not a requierment for the musician to make good music.
Ok, creativity... First of all we need to make clear what creativity are we talking about. Mikhail Kalashnikov was very creative and inovative when he designed the AK-47, but that doesnt necesarily mean that his invention was a positive contribution to the humanity. Infact, it was quite the opposite, as is with practicly every weapon that was, is, or will be designed. What Im basicly trying to say is that creativity is not an inherently good thing. It entirely depends on how it is used and for what. A business example: outsourcing. I guess that when ot first came along it was creative. Move the work to somewhere where its cheaper, save money, higher profits, the CEO bags more money in rewards. Workers in developed countries lost their jobs, while workers in 3rd world countries got jobs... That are more similar to slavery than employment.
Sure creativity can be used for "good", or so to speak, but we must be carefull about what is good, for whom and why is it good. And reward it accordingly, instead of lavishly.

I have to say that this is incredibly interesting to see how the same subject is viewed from different perspectives. I understand your point about the work environment being created by and serving the community without the need for an individuals desires for greatness. It's a very "blue collar" view as we would call it.
I'm not exactly so sure that the entrance and exit of communism was as voluntary as you would like to believe and there are ALWAYS foreign governments influencing EVERYTHING. No matter what country you are in. Even here.
As for the Priest, I give them far more credit than you. I'm no expert, but I've played "the game" at the elementary level. At this point in their career, the record company had better be the ones serving them or they have done something drastically wrong. Look at Rob. He has made bold moves to gain as much control of his "product" as possible. Look at how he distributes his music, mostly via download eliminating the "middle man".
The one thing I think you are not allowing to enter the equation is creativity. This is one of the primary aspects of a capitalist economy and that is why it can be so richly rewarded.
_strat_ wrote:
Well, I still think that it is very much correct. The enviroment is created by all the people that work for it. A company would not be able to hire new employees, if it wasnt for the old employees making enough profit to make it possible. Now, I know that it had to start somewhere, with some guy who just started a business and employed an assistant, or something similar, but the further we go from there, the more alienated the leadership will become with the rest of the employees. My work enviroment was not created by the CEO of my company. It was created by the people that worked in a particular section of the company that decided that they need another employee to get the work done. And with my work I am repaying for it.
Now, you totaly missed the next point. We went under "communist control" as you put it, volountarily, just as we left it volountarily, in both cases with certain sacrifices and a strong popular support, without the intervention of "foreign governments". But that is beside the point, really. What I was trying to illustrate is that there are alternatives to capitalist mode of production, and we had one of it, that was working well. Most of the companies that still form the bulk of our economy today were not created in private hands. They were created in a socialist, state-planned economy. They were created not because of "one mans dream of greatness" or anything like that. They were established when and where there was need for them, and they were developed and expanded accordingly. And more importantly, they were not created by one man that would make great risks or sacrifices. They were made collectively, and served the entire society, instead of one mans pocket. Im also absolutely sure that we are not the only such example. They can be found all over the former eastern bloc, even in the "evil empire", the former USSR. Now, say what you want about communism and red scare, and stuff like that, but that aproach to economy is better than just letting the busineses to do what they want, and then throw billions at them when they are in trouble.
If anything, Judas Priest serve a corporation that is their record company, and it is exactly because of the greed of the record companies that we have to pay such ridiculously high prices for the music.

Unfortunately, it would be the fifth time you have incorrectly pointed out that. It is NOT the poor that have created the environment in which they work. It is the "rich" or at least someone who is able to "risk" that has done that. You claim is was not the CEO that took the risk. In some instances you are correct, in others you are not. How big of a company are we speaking ? In most of the environments that you and I might earn a living, the CEO is the one that took the risk. We don't all work for IBM, GM or other such initialed companies.
There are always risks. It's just a matter of who took them. In your case, your country took them. Along with the backing of all the countries that did not want your country to come under communist control. Do not for one minute think that there was no risk. It was just not by an individual, it was by multiple governments. I agree that there are many alternatives to capitalism, but let's be clear when we speak.
By the way, I would check carefully. Although I have not checked myself, I would almost be willing to bet that Judas Priest is a corporation. I agree that, to make a point, I stretched the subject but at this point Judas Priest is not just artistic. They took a chance ( risk ) and are reaping the rewards. They had an idea and are reaping the rewards. They employ a workforce and do not necessarily share their income equally with that workforce even though they would be back in the clubs without them.
Think ! It might not be what you want to hear, but it's a perfect comparison !
_strat_ wrote:
Youre not reading well, in that case. "For no other reason than that the poor want what the rich have"? I say that the poor create what the rich have. I think this has to be about the fifth time I made that point in the course of this discussion.
How does the employer judge what we earn? If anything the employer judges what we will get. There is a massive difference between the two. We can, as you say, accept it or not. But the fact is that we need jobs. And if every employer is only willing to give us so much... What power of choice do we actualy have? Only the power to pick the lesser of many evils. Thank the unions for their historic role, since its because of them and because of the two centuries worth of class struggles that there are at least some minimums that an employer has to fulfill! They cannot give us less than the minimal wage, cannot force us to work longer than the maximum work hours, and cannot fire us for looking at them the wrong way. But outside of that, its still the game of supply and demand... But with people instead of products.
Risk... Ok, someone took the risk. It can be done without it, but lets forget about that for a line or two. Was it the CEO of a big and well established corporation that took the risk to create it? No. Was it the great grandson that inherited the business? No. Sure, some people had to take risks, but then again, how do you value that risk in terms of money? Not to mention that we can do it without risks. We established our entire post-WW2 economy within the framweork of state planning. No one took big loans, no one risked his/her home, yet we developed big and succesfull companies, that are still alive and well! There are plenty alternatives to the capitalist economy, and the capitalist way of doing business.
Judas Priest are not a corporation. They are a band, and their greatness comes from skill and musicianship. You took my statement well out of context here, since I think you know perfectly well what sort of "greatness" I was refering to, since we were tlaking about economy and big corporations.
TIMBONI wrote:
I really cannot believe what I am reading. If I understand you correctly, you want Robin Hood. Take from the rich and give to the poor for no other reason than that the poor want what the rich have. You state that the working class " should be getting what they earn". Who judges what they earn. I'll tell you who. The employer that hired them at a certain wage for a certain job. The employee either accepts this or not. The power is actually with the worker at this point. If the worker takes the job, DON'T COMPLAIN !
You also state that "upper clases that get rediculously more than they earn". It's not entirely about "earning". It's also about risk. I believe HB has already gone into this, but to cut to the chase it's gambling. Someone risked their money, home, savings, future, etc on an idea and they deserve the lion share of the return for that. Their willingness to risk themselves for this return created the jobs for the workers. If people did not risk, the jobs would not exist.
Now let's get to "stiffling greatness . . . why the fuck not ? ". Let's make it obvious. We are all on a Judas Priest site chatting. This site would not exist because the band would not exist. They would never, AND I DO MEAN NEVER, have gone through what they did if they were required to share it all with those that did not experience those sacrifices with them. Without the possibility of great reward, there will never be any great sacrifice. Thus we all become mediocre and plain and the world SUCKS for all of us.

Ok, leave if you want, but I will still answer this, and maybe someone else will pick up the flag...
THAT is terribly falacious. The whole point that I was making about the subject of capitalism is that we (or you or me, whichever way you put it), should be getting what we earn. Not to share it with the upper classes that get ridicilously more than they earn, since more often than not they earn nothing at all. What "greater good"? What "plight of the struggling labourer"? Sure, both these things could be used to describe socialism, as something which aims to achieve the "greater good" of all by fighting the "plight of the struggling labourer", but its really down to we getting what we earn. The difference between the two of us here would be that you think that capitalism can give that opportunity, while I do not, and I think I listed plenty of reasons for that. "Spreading the wealth" is imo a part of this, for reasons that I have already presented as well.
"Stiffling greatness"... Why the fuck not? If the great cannot be great without the help of mediocre ( as is the case)... Should they be great at all? And of course, how do you generaly define "better"? Is someone that is prepared to take risks that endanger him/herself and tons of other people really great... Or just plain irresponsible and dumb? And, when does one accomplish greatness? Is it when one has a huge corporation? What is so great about that?

I agree HB. The vast majority of Africa is beyond help. And the worst part of cleaning up that particular mess would be equal to genocide - because putting them in prison or 'rehabiliting' them is a joke.
Well, first of all, even our vast countries have limited resources. fact is, there are troops in africa, central america, asia, etc. but, like I said we (combined rich nations) only have so many troops. Canada, has 1/3 of its troops overseas, be it afganistan, cyprus, or wherever. are there places that need more help, sure. we do the best we can.

As for Priest, I dont exactly know how they actualy do business. I know how business is done in my area of expertise, and Im coming out of that position. Tho I will say that lavishly rewarding the musician is not a requierment for the musician to make good music.
Ok, creativity... First of all we need to make clear what creativity are we talking about. Mikhail Kalashnikov was very creative and inovative when he designed the AK-47, but that doesnt necesarily mean that his invention was a positive contribution to the humanity. Infact, it was quite the opposite, as is with practicly every weapon that was, is, or will be designed. What Im basicly trying to say is that creativity is not an inherently good thing. It entirely depends on how it is used and for what. A business example: outsourcing. I guess that when ot first came along it was creative. Move the work to somewhere where its cheaper, save money, higher profits, the CEO bags more money in rewards. Workers in developed countries lost their jobs, while workers in 3rd world countries got jobs... That are more similar to slavery than employment.
Sure creativity can be used for "good", or so to speak, but we must be carefull about what is good, for whom and why is it good. And reward it accordingly, instead of lavishly.

I have to say that this is incredibly interesting to see how the same subject is viewed from different perspectives. I understand your point about the work environment being created by and serving the community without the need for an individuals desires for greatness. It's a very "blue collar" view as we would call it.
I'm not exactly so sure that the entrance and exit of communism was as voluntary as you would like to believe and there are ALWAYS foreign governments influencing EVERYTHING. No matter what country you are in. Even here.
As for the Priest, I give them far more credit than you. I'm no expert, but I've played "the game" at the elementary level. At this point in their career, the record company had better be the ones serving them or they have done something drastically wrong. Look at Rob. He has made bold moves to gain as much control of his "product" as possible. Look at how he distributes his music, mostly via download eliminating the "middle man".
The one thing I think you are not allowing to enter the equation is creativity. This is one of the primary aspects of a capitalist economy and that is why it can be so richly rewarded.

Well, I still think that it is very much correct. The enviroment is created by all the people that work for it. A company would not be able to hire new employees, if it wasnt for the old employees making enough profit to make it possible. Now, I know that it had to start somewhere, with some guy who just started a business and employed an assistant, or something similar, but the further we go from there, the more alienated the leadership will become with the rest of the employees. My work enviroment was not created by the CEO of my company. It was created by the people that worked in a particular section of the company that decided that they need another employee to get the work done. And with my work I am repaying for it.
Now, you totaly missed the next point. We went under "communist control" as you put it, volountarily, just as we left it volountarily, in both cases with certain sacrifices and a strong popular support, without the intervention of "foreign governments". But that is beside the point, really. What I was trying to illustrate is that there are alternatives to capitalist mode of production, and we had one of it, that was working well. Most of the companies that still form the bulk of our economy today were not created in private hands. They were created in a socialist, state-planned economy. They were created not because of "one mans dream of greatness" or anything like that. They were established when and where there was need for them, and they were developed and expanded accordingly. And more importantly, they were not created by one man that would make great risks or sacrifices. They were made collectively, and served the entire society, instead of one mans pocket. Im also absolutely sure that we are not the only such example. They can be found all over the former eastern bloc, even in the "evil empire", the former USSR. Now, say what you want about communism and red scare, and stuff like that, but that aproach to economy is better than just letting the busineses to do what they want, and then throw billions at them when they are in trouble.
If anything, Judas Priest serve a corporation that is their record company, and it is exactly because of the greed of the record companies that we have to pay such ridiculously high prices for the music.

Unfortunately, it would be the fifth time you have incorrectly pointed out that. It is NOT the poor that have created the environment in which they work. It is the "rich" or at least someone who is able to "risk" that has done that. You claim is was not the CEO that took the risk. In some instances you are correct, in others you are not. How big of a company are we speaking ? In most of the environments that you and I might earn a living, the CEO is the one that took the risk. We don't all work for IBM, GM or other such initialed companies.
There are always risks. It's just a matter of who took them. In your case, your country took them. Along with the backing of all the countries that did not want your country to come under communist control. Do not for one minute think that there was no risk. It was just not by an individual, it was by multiple governments. I agree that there are many alternatives to capitalism, but let's be clear when we speak.
By the way, I would check carefully. Although I have not checked myself, I would almost be willing to bet that Judas Priest is a corporation. I agree that, to make a point, I stretched the subject but at this point Judas Priest is not just artistic. They took a chance ( risk ) and are reaping the rewards. They had an idea and are reaping the rewards. They employ a workforce and do not necessarily share their income equally with that workforce even though they would be back in the clubs without them.
Think ! It might not be what you want to hear, but it's a perfect comparison !

Youre not reading well, in that case. "For no other reason than that the poor want what the rich have"? I say that the poor create what the rich have. I think this has to be about the fifth time I made that point in the course of this discussion.
How does the employer judge what we earn? If anything the employer judges what we will get. There is a massive difference between the two. We can, as you say, accept it or not. But the fact is that we need jobs. And if every employer is only willing to give us so much... What power of choice do we actualy have? Only the power to pick the lesser of many evils. Thank the unions for their historic role, since its because of them and because of the two centuries worth of class struggles that there are at least some minimums that an employer has to fulfill! They cannot give us less than the minimal wage, cannot force us to work longer than the maximum work hours, and cannot fire us for looking at them the wrong way. But outside of that, its still the game of supply and demand... But with people instead of products.
Risk... Ok, someone took the risk. It can be done without it, but lets forget about that for a line or two. Was it the CEO of a big and well established corporation that took the risk to create it? No. Was it the great grandson that inherited the business? No. Sure, some people had to take risks, but then again, how do you value that risk in terms of money? Not to mention that we can do it without risks. We established our entire post-WW2 economy within the framweork of state planning. No one took big loans, no one risked his/her home, yet we developed big and succesfull companies, that are still alive and well! There are plenty alternatives to the capitalist economy, and the capitalist way of doing business.
Judas Priest are not a corporation. They are a band, and their greatness comes from skill and musicianship. You took my statement well out of context here, since I think you know perfectly well what sort of "greatness" I was refering to, since we were tlaking about economy and big corporations.

I really cannot believe what I am reading. If I understand you correctly, you want Robin Hood. Take from the rich and give to the poor for no other reason than that the poor want what the rich have. You state that the working class " should be getting what they earn". Who judges what they earn. I'll tell you who. The employer that hired them at a certain wage for a certain job. The employee either accepts this or not. The power is actually with the worker at this point. If the worker takes the job, DON'T COMPLAIN !
You also state that "upper clases that get rediculously more than they earn". It's not entirely about "earning". It's also about risk. I believe HB has already gone into this, but to cut to the chase it's gambling. Someone risked their money, home, savings, future, etc on an idea and they deserve the lion share of the return for that. Their willingness to risk themselves for this return created the jobs for the workers. If people did not risk, the jobs would not exist.
Now let's get to "stiffling greatness . . . why the fuck not ? ". Let's make it obvious. We are all on a Judas Priest site chatting. This site would not exist because the band would not exist. They would never, AND I DO MEAN NEVER, have gone through what they did if they were required to share it all with those that did not experience those sacrifices with them. Without the possibility of great reward, there will never be any great sacrifice. Thus we all become mediocre and plain and the world SUCKS for all of us.

THAT is terribly falacious. The whole point that I was making about the subject of capitalism is that we (or you or me, whichever way you put it), should be getting what we earn. Not to share it with the upper classes that get ridicilously more than they earn, since more often than not they earn nothing at all. What "greater good"? What "plight of the struggling labourer"? Sure, both these things could be used to describe socialism, as something which aims to achieve the "greater good" of all by fighting the "plight of the struggling labourer", but its really down to we getting what we earn. The difference between the two of us here would be that you think that capitalism can give that opportunity, while I do not, and I think I listed plenty of reasons for that. "Spreading the wealth" is imo a part of this, for reasons that I have already presented as well.
"Stiffling greatness"... Why the fuck not? If the great cannot be great without the help of mediocre ( as is the case)... Should they be great at all? And of course, how do you generaly define "better"? Is someone that is prepared to take risks that endanger him/herself and tons of other people really great... Or just plain irresponsible and dumb? And, when does one accomplish greatness? Is it when one has a huge corporation? What is so great about that?

Spreading the wealth is a fine sentiment but it give no incentive to the great to be great. I could not care less about the "plight of the struggling laborer". We all have our lot in life.
Now, I realize that last comment opens me up for a bunch of nastiness but I suppose I will accept that. The truly great men (and women) in the world are better. They strive to be more. To accomplish more. They strive for greatness. Some people do not have these lofty aspirations. They are content to be mediocre. Worse, there are those that would have the few be great and the mediocre be allowed to reap the benefits. No thank you. I do not care for what one person believes is "right". That makes NO difference to me. Fairness can go that way as well. If I am better, and I produce more and I accomplish greatness, I do not see why I should share that with a slug. I want more. I earned every bit. I stood above the others. I took the risk. That is how it is. If a company recognizes that and rewards me, that is just as it should be.
I do not advocate "firing" someone because I find a guy that can do his job "10 minutes faster". I advocate hiring that faster guy, too! Now I have TWO guys working and , with any luck, the slower one will find motivation in competition. If not, he can stay in his position so long as he DOES HIS JOB!! The faster guy may get promoted, who knows? I suppose it depends on how valuble time is to my company! As long as you are doing what you are paid to do, you should feel relatively safe. In difficult times, the faster guy might be more valuble? This is business not a contest to save people's feelings. Don't like that? OPEN YOUR OWN BUSINESS and do it YOUR way.

BSE, I think you meant that for _strat_, not Timboni.
In response to your post, I believe that a lot of the food and supplies we ship to these 3rd world countries gets hijacked (for lack of a better term) by the petty regimes and warlords who dominate the landscape of those places (calling Africa).
Very good answer. The 3rd world thinks that we here in the UK and you in America contribute little to the world's suffering. That's we don't give you enough from our own pockets. That we don't share the spoils of our labour. That we don't contribute enough to assist you in your wars. That our Imperialism has done little good in the plight of the poor. For heaven's sake.....we give you the most precious posession and gift we have. Our blood. The blood of our nation whenever you're in need. And then you have the odacity to condemn us? Shame us into guilt? Belittle and betray us? What more do you want from us? Thank you. a. Hammerstein

Communism as a political ideology actualy supports full democratic decision making in regards to how busineses should be run. It is in the Manifesto, and has been advocated (although admitedly not actualy carried out as it should have been) by all socialist regimes so far.
And that was not a joke. I do not know the details for other parts of Yugoslavia (although it is a fact that the elections took place in all republics and both autonomous provinces), but in Slovenia the elections were held on the 11th November 1945. The parties were those that were on the winning side in WW2, and included the Communist Party, the Social Democrats and the Christian Socialists. Although I do not remeber the exact percentage of the vote, the Communist party won with well over 50% (come to think of it, it was higher even than that). Also, they were the first elections in our history where women were allowed to vote.
Do not think for a minute that just because you live in a so called "free country", that there is no propaganda. Infact the anti-communist propaganda in the USA is something that even Goebbels would have been proud of.
Moving on... As far as Im concerned, any minute spent on designing, manufacturing and above all using weapons is a minute wasted. Shame that the people who do it always think that they should use it as well, making us all inseczre and threatened.
And unions... Was it their idea? Did they come up with it? Not bloody likely. What I find much more likely is that the CEOs and managers didnt want to give up what would have been a small part of their spoils, and instead moved the factories to China.
And as I said, creativity can be good or bad, depending on how we use it, so I agree on the atomic energy bit.
Accordingly can be difficult to decide, I know. I like to compare it to freedom. You only get as much as you can without interfering in somebody elses. I guess this should apply to dealing the profit as well? That is something that should be thought on. Though right now not by me, because I will be going to bed shortly. So, if I am MIA, that means good night, and see you tomorrow.

" Blue collar " is a term used to describe the working class. The "get your hands dirty" portion of the workforce.
Elections ? That's funny ! You always have that sense of humor. I think that aside from knowing our history, we need a little more realism and honesty. Communism has NEVER supported open and honest elections.
"Lavishly rewarding the musician is not a requirement for the musician to make good music" ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREED.
Kalashnikov's design of the AK-47 was extremely creative. A "blue collar" weapon and deserving of all the credit he has received. It's influence being positive or negative is perspective.
This is where we disagree the most. Creativity is EVERYTHING. It is ideas . . . invention . . . something from nothing ! Atomic energy was an amazing discovery that has changed the world, both for better and worse. It creates power for lighting, heat, etc. It also has the power to take lives. The idea has no contribution until the user decides how to use it.
Now to "how it is used": outsourcing. We have come full circle. UNIONS ! Unions created outsourcing. They created an atmosphere where there is no loyalty ( yes, I already know the return fire but if we are at unions we are beyond the point prior to their creation ) The pendulum swung the other direction and the employees ( unions ) became the ogre in the workplace "creating" the necessity to find a cheaper workforce in order to supply the same product at an affordable price. It's a vicious circle. The worker wants more to afford wants, the company charges more for the goods to pay the employee, the prices of goods go up and worker want more to afford them, etc . . .
Lastly, I would like to know what you consider accordingly and who decides that ? Here, the market decides. If one is willing to pay for it, it is "accordingly". If the market considers it out of line, purchases cease and the product either dies or the price is adjusted to suit the willingness of the consumer to buy.

The faster guy may get promoted, who knows? I suppose it depends on how valuble time is to my company! As long as you are doing what you are paid to do, you should feel relatively safe. In difficult times, the faster guy might be more valuble? This is business not a contest to save people's feelings. Don't like that? OPEN YOUR OWN BUSINESS and do it YOUR way.
Hmmm... I don't recall ever mentioning TV to the "Toast," methinks we have met him MANY times before. Call it a "hunch. My doctors call it that too. BWWWHAAA!! The bells, the bells!

Necro! The mere fact that you know an ABBA song is negatively impacting your metalness! (yes, I just made up a new word) That being said, does the fact that I like Christina Aguilera negatively impact my metalness too?

Being a huge fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars, I can with objective clarity that both Roddenberry and Lucas are visionaries in their own right. It is the height of stupidity to compare two vastly different pieces of sci-fi history.
Star Trek was Gene Roddenberry's fictional vision of what would happen to humanity and Star Wars was set a long time ago...in a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars is simply a masterful example of light vs dark, good vs evil ideal. That sentence right there is EVERY REASON why saying one is better than the other is utterly pointless. It's personal preference to like one or the other or both, but they cannot be compared. The only things they have in common is that they are part of sci-fi, have spawned spinoffs, mass merchandising, and a plethora of novelas, comic books and graphic novels.

Once you log into Windows, go into the Control Panel, and choose Add or Remove Programs, click the show updates box at the top and find that update. If you don't know what update you installed, you can also try Last Known Good Configuration from the DOS window that shows up when you hit F8. Let me know what happens.
Good Morning DP!!! Yes, my assistant Igor and I have put together this antiquated yet somewhat functional machine that will at least allow me to get around a little bit. How's things on your end?

It was great to get together with my family over Thanksgiving weekend. One of my neices I hadn't seen in over 5 years. She's 17 now and thinks it's cool her Uncle Ron is a Metalhead and a Priest Fan!!! She want's to go with me next time they're in town, and I think that's pretty damn cool!!
This is the last week of work for me 'til Jan. 5th. An early Christmas present from Ford Motor Company...thank's guys!!!
My daughter is graduating High School early, in January. She'll be going to IUN in the Fall and will work and go to Vocational during the Spring. I couldn't be more proud of her than I am right now!!!
All in all, as bad as things get, there's still a hell of a lot to be thankful for.

Are those sites shutting down b/c of such frivolty? Absolutely not! Is the Def Leppard site shutting down b/c of a non-Def Leppard thread? Nope. So, if you don't like the non-JP-related threads, stay out of them. That simple. This whole discussion on is really pointless.
We are all here b/c we want to talk to other JP fans, and it's human nature to discuss what's bothering them or what makes them happy or to create if given the outlet to do so.
If you don't want to see the other threads, there is a little 'X' to the right of each thread heading that you can use to IGNORE threads that you do not want to see. I am sure that it works quite well.

Ok...I feel the need to throw my two cents in this conversation. Oh wait...my ex has it. That be-otch!
Seriously though folks, this whole topic is really disappointing. Where Am I, while I respect your opinion, I think that if you look at other band sites (Megadeth and Iron Maiden to name 2), there are threads just like what we've got here. Are those sites shutting down b/c of such frivolty? Absolutely not! Is the Def Leppard site shutting down b/c of a non-Def Leppard thread? Nope. So, if you don't like the non-JP-related threads, stay out of them. That simple. This whole discussion on is really pointless.
We are all here b/c we want to talk to other JP fans, and it's human nature to discuss what's bothering them or what makes them happy or to create if given the outlet to do so.
If you don't want to see the other threads, there is a little 'X' to the right of each thread heading that you can use to IGNORE threads that you do not want to see. I am sure that it works quite well.
And that's my rant for the day. Back to the Heavy Metal (what do you want?) Edited at: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 5:51:39 AM Edited at: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 5:52:18 AM

So you're saying Rob stole your phrase? Did you copyright it? Trademark it? If not, then you have no case. In fact, I'm fairly certain that you have NO CASE! Because if actually HAD A CASE, you would not be on here SLANDERING Rob Halford. No, I bet you are a con artist who thinks people who don't owe you squat, actually owe you something.
And as far as Respect Points goes...Maybe you should have READ the notice from the site admin before making an ignorant statement.
So 'do you believe' was used, and was mine. Nostradamus was used and was an explaination for my ability to speak using Remote Viewing. And on my CD it should have started with 'creation'. That 's the main point here. He just stole it.
The point leading to the Nostradmus double CD was that I have the old videos and recorded them on DVD now. And I noticed that the songs of Turbo weren't that good in my opinion. It wasn't because of the synth-guitars. So I came to Remote View with Rob Halford and did'nt wanted him to think he was hearing voices (-> Nostradamus). The thank you was to steal everything and to just use me for his purpose.
The CD is constructed, so this means he actually is not talented enough to do it better than Turbo. And the double CD was in this sense not because of challenge and talent, it was because of arrogance!
It was a friendly suggestion and he showed his lousy charakter! And they give respect points here.

That's pretty cool DC! I admit, I actually stayed away from the real metal acts during my teens b/c that wasn't the music the crowd I was hanging with was listening too.
I reckon!! Talk about a great introduction to Priest. The shop where i purchase most of my music had it playing on the TV in the music dvd section.... So what did I do.... stood there pretending to browse whilst watching the whole thing. I knew then and there i had to buy it, go home and watch it again... You don't see that sort of thing and walk away... hahaha thats how i was hooked.

He managed to sneak onto his work pc and quickly send a note while making a desperate move in chess. (Actually, that's not fair -- he's remembered how to play! Giving me a good run for my money now...)
I think we need to take up a collection for him to get it fixed!
It's been a tough month, that I'm thinkin' will be tough a while longer. I just didn't want to bring the board down with my "boo-hooing" and self-pity ... Which, I'm not going to lie to you, "I'm not okay with, yet." All I can say is, "I'm trying..." Poor Colley has had to pull out his best material to keep me laughing lately, and I think he needs some help with that. He needs a break. Your turn!

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

Carnival was actually released in 95, but then the reunion got in the way and the band released it again in 1997. Really great stuff. Gene's songwriting and singing were his best ever I think.
Side Note: Because of the reunion, Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer were kinda left hung out to dry. Kulick went on to form a nice outfit called Union Underground with John Corabi. Last I saw, Bruce took over as Grand Funk Railroad's guitarist and Eric was playing Peter Criss' part on the drums. So ends your Kisstory lesson for today class...Quiz tomorrow!!!!

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

Of course, neither team will do better than 4-12 in any event. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by mgdman from Wednesday, November 26, 2008 12:56:19 AM)

I cannot agree more! He should not be allowed back in the NFL at any time.
There are some things that warrant a lifetime ban and this is definitely one
of them. This league has so many fools that break the law and still get paid
a ridiculous amount of money it's sickening! Time has come to refuse to give
them a plentiful life just because they can help your team win.
That said, unfortunately I'm a Raider fan and we will probably make a move for
him when he becomes eligible.

Motorhead are definitely that, Vail! The thing about Maiden that separates them from Motorhead (how thinks you can possibly compare these two bands is ridiculous to me), is they are not only more technical, but the songwriting of Maiden...look at it. Their songs are about themes...some of them actually real (Paschendale, Run To The Hills, Aces High, Fear of the Dark to name a few).
I highly recommend getting both the Essential Iron Maiden to get a good idea of what they're about, and either Live After Death or Rock In Rio to gain a measure of understanding of just how enjoyable they are to listen too.

I've only heard one CD from each band (Powerslave and Overkill), and I love them both (JP is #1, though). BUT... I have to say that between Iron Maiden and Motörhead, Motörhead is "harder". It's down and dirty rock and roll, and Maiden (at least from what I have heard in Powerslave) sounds "classical" if anything. They have their moments though.

Carnival was actually released in 95, but then the reunion got in the way and the band released it again in 1997. Really great stuff. Gene's songwriting and singing were his best ever I think.
Side Note: Because of the reunion, Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer were kinda left hung out to dry. Kulick went on to form a nice outfit called Union Underground with John Corabi. Last I saw, Bruce took over as Grand Funk Railroad's guitarist and Eric was playing Peter Criss' part on the drums. So ends your Kisstory lesson for today class...Quiz tomorrow!!!!

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

Somehow, the fact that you would think to ask around to see where Scott and KK are staying isn't surprising to anyone here. LOL Ummmm...as for the really hang-out...I don't know if I like where that's going.

I could just ask where Scott and KK are staying ... what hotel they are going to be staying in... We could all just stay in that one.. Make life a little simpler..LOL And then we would have to make sure its in a city where they have a lay-over a few days before their next show.. Then we could all really hang-out...

Justin.. oh you're such a great friend and you always know just when to say what.
Well, as you all know by now, I just got the cutest new kitten. He's an angel and he's making typing a huge problem because he likes to chase the curser on the screen and sit on my keyboard lol... No, I haven't introduced him to the dog or the drums yet... lol thought I'd break him in easy.. don't want him to freak out on his first day here. We had to pick him up from a cat show yesterday and man, Mara was right, those people are very, very strange indeed! I saw the scariest men (if you can call them that) and the wierdest women ever. They were pretty bitchy too. The guy doing the judging and the MC work was so rude and full of himself. My kitten came second in his breed and I was asked if I would show him at future shows but.. I gotta tell you, those folks scare me lol.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that it would be a far easier (and less hair-pulling) to track all of the orders via a well laid out spreadsheet.
Thank you, Darth. We really do appreciate that. It means a lot that the members of the Board enjoy what we have done and think it is worthy of praise. MM has actually posted three new songs; Hell Patrol, Hot Rockin' and The Rage. Of course, Metallark did vocals on The Rage. He did a magnificent job!
I guess my concern now is the shipping. I recall it was a rather daunting task on the last album! The Princess was going crazy with all we had to do! She swore we would never do it again and yet, here we are! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last time we just had people send us the shipping cost and then we sent out the CD. It worked well enough for about 20 or so but then it got very difficult. It is hard to keep track. I guess you are not too far off with the Spreadsheet idea.
Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote:
Okay....all nonsense aside. I really think you guys nailed it on the 2 MM posted, and if the remainder are just as good...then you have been foreswarned my friend. The daunting spectacle of an Excel spreadsheet looms. Now, where is my pen and paper???
DF, you and the guys really nailed it on Hot Rockin' and Hell Patrol!!! Very well done! You're going to need to make a spreadsheet for all of the CD orders I think!
Deep Freeze wrote:
My sincerest thanks to all that have listened and commented. As I have mentioned before, this is a Project for all on the site. If not for you, we could not..we WOULD not do this. Your support is absolutely essential. And just look, it has brought our beloved drummer Thumper out of the shadows and into our family! Seeing posts from this wonderful man is very special to me.
Scorp, you are absolutely right! At no point did we ever even consider doing the songs exactly like Priest. We are not Priest! Further, I am not Rob!!! Since the very first album, we have tried to give the songs our "spin". Our "sound". You will note the subtleties in MM's guitars and, of course, my vocal changes in the songs. All of this is by design. We have always wanted to pay tribute to Priest, not be them. When you hear one of our songs, we want it to be easy to identify. That was our intent, anyway!
The songs MM has posted are just a taste of what is to come! The album will be full of little surprises and some very fine music. That is our promise to you. I am looking forward to the release! It is still far from completed, as we have told you. These darn things really do take a lot of time and work. MM and Thumper have more work to do next week AND we have Thanksgiving right smack dab in the middle of it all!! We all have families and time is very precious. Once the guys are done with the remaining tracks, we still have post production and whatnot. All very time consuming with the holidays added! I would not expect to see the album until well into the New Year.

Well, as you all know by now, I just got the cutest new kitten. He's an angel and he's making typing a huge problem because he likes to chase the curser on the screen and sit on my keyboard lol... No, I haven't introduced him to the dog or the drums yet... lol thought I'd break him in easy.. don't want him to freak out on his first day here. We had to pick him up from a cat show yesterday and man, Mara was right, those people are very, very strange indeed! I saw the scariest men (if you can call them that) and the wierdest women ever. They were pretty bitchy too. The guy doing the judging and the MC work was so rude and full of himself. My kitten came second in his breed and I was asked if I would show him at future shows but.. I gotta tell you, those folks scare me lol.

Scorp, you are absolutely right! At no point did we ever even consider doing the songs exactly like Priest. We are not Priest! Further, I am not Rob!!!

All of this is by design. We have always wanted to pay tribute to Priest, not be them. When you hear one of our songs, we want it to be easy to identify. That was our intent, anyway!
The songs MM has posted are just a taste of what is to come! The album will be full of little surprises and some very fine music. That is our promise to you. I am looking forward to the release! It is still far from completed, as we have told you. These darn things really do take a lot of time and work. MM and Thumper have more work to do next week AND we have Thanksgiving right smack dab in the middle of it all!! We all have families and time is very precious. Once the guys are done with the remaining tracks, we still have post production and whatnot. All very time consuming with the holidays added! I would not expect to see the album until well into the New Year.

I do believe that is the most touching and nicest thing I've heard all day DF. However, you, MM, Thumper and the rest have EARNED that respect and encouragement from us. We are a giant family and therefore, you guys are treated as such...mi casa, su casa so to speak. I've been to a bunch of other band sites in the past, but there is absolutely no better place for me to commune with others who share my love for JP and Metal in general than right here. You guys f***ing rock!!!!!!!!!!!
It was the the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness... HA!!!!!!! And so begins my thoughts on the place wherein we now find ourselves, almost three years and almost two albums later. Such remarkable, unforgettable times. Such moments men dare not actually believe they could live! The epoch of belief I believe Dickens said. In any event, memories that will last a lifetime and all courtesy of a group of men that, sometime in the late 60's or ealry 70's decided to create a band called Judas Priest. My life certainly changed as a result, how about yours?
When MM and I decided to actually do Raw Steel, we found ourselves long on ideas but short on reality. I mean, there we were, ready and willing to do the deed but, could we? Was there really a chance that the stars would align and the fates allow? Could two people, at opposite ends of the United States, really pull this off?? Well, not alone we sure couldn't! It was all about YOU guys. The support. The encouragement. The suggestions. The reminders that this was bigger than just us. Then came Eric (maiden/priest) and Mick and Thumper (Jim) and, in what seemed like a brief blink of an eye, we had a real, live band!
I will never forget the day I met Phil ( Metal Meltdown.) I am sure there are many here that can relate to what I felt. A kinship. A brotherhood. We both knew that we weregoing to be friends. We just knew it. But there is so much more. There is a bond, forged in music, that we share. Something that NOT everyone experiences. And, three years later, the bond grows stronger.
When Raw Steel was released, the response here was overwhelming. I have never been a "rockstar". I have played live in front of crowds. I have known the joy of performing on stage and all the "perks" that one might expect from that, but I was never a real star. For a brief time back in 2006, I felt like a star. YOU made that happen for me. Your words of kindness. Your support and exuberance. For a short while, I was Rob. I was Glenn. I was a real rockstar. I know Phil felt it, too.
When Forged Steel makes it debut, we may not have the same response but, I do not expect it. this is not a novelty any longer. This is real. At last, we have something more than just some guys that get together and play. We have a bond. And....We have YOU. this album has happened because of you and your love for Judas Priest. And through that love, we have created once again. We have taken the clay of passion and we have sculpted a new and wonderful treasure that all of us can take pride in and share. Thank you all for being here and being so caring. Our gift to you is the music. It is our way of paying tribute to the Band that made all of what we live daily possible. Each and every friendship on this site is possible because of Judas Priest and so, we thank them as well. The gift of music is a timeless and ever-giving moment of life. It rewards with no need to say "thank you" because we all are friends.

In the meantime, no Sunday Sabbath (11am on Sunday, no Van Hailstorm (7pm daily), and I have to filter through the gurgling screamfest of Liquid Metal to hear Priest, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Metallica and Motorhead.

Er I think it's a very negative thing. To revolve your life around a bunch of musicians no matter how great they are, is actually quite sad and disturbing and is dangerously obsessive. I think he actually needs counselling.
I feel quite sorry for him in a way. He can't have any family, friends/social life, job etc. His whole existance is a rock band. Very sad indeed.

How the hell does anyone find the time to listen to Nostradamus every day? It's nearly two hours long. Who can devote 1/12 of every day to listening to the same cd?

Lana...McNabb threw 3 (that was not a typo) picks against a crappy team. He's looked lost, confused, and utterly pathetic yesterday. The last 5 games he's started off really poorly, but yesterday he was bad the ENTIRE GAME! Nahhhh...the Birds just need to bench McNabb and go with Kevin Kolb for the remainder of the season.

Hey joe...I know I've been guilty of trying to fix my own problems when I needed help. The absolute best thing you can do is sit down with your hub and tell him exactly what's bothering you and why. Talk it out with him. If he doesn't get it, tell his parents and siblings. Sometimes, people forget how good they have it. It's very, very difficult to find someone who appreciates and cares about us (regardless of gender or age). You're a really wonderful person joe, and your man needs to get over himself and see that!

Rignt now my ungrateful husband. I went out of my way to pull together a surprise party for his birthday. I put a shitload of effort into it and postponed my own work so that I could do a good job of turning his birthday into a special day for him. The only thing that he needed to do was to get out of the house so that all the guests could sneak in. This worked out perfectly because we had to attend a school function for the kids in the morning. So I organized alternative parking; left a key with a friend so she could let everyone in etc. He bitched all morning about having to give up his saturday to attend the kids function at school, bitched the whole time we were there and bitched about it the whole way home. So he gets inside and all goes well.. Everyone is here and he gets a pleasant surprise. Has a fantastic birthday party where the most effort he needed to put in was to smile and enjoy all of us doting on him. He was well fed, well supplied with drinks etc so he had to do NOTHING! He thanks everyone for organizing the party but when they tell him I'm the one who actually organzied everything, I get little more than a sideways glance and a half-hearted 'oh cool, thanks'.
I paid that no attention, thinking maybe he was a bit shell-shocked or whatever. This morning he wakes up in such a filthy mood because people (mostly his own family) are phoning him to wish him happy birthday. He's been stomping around the house in a filthy mood all day and I'm convinced that it is just because it's his birthday and he's a whole year older. WTF happens to men once they get into their 40's? I just don't get it. He seems to be getting worse and worse each year that he ages or christmas comes around. I got him nice gifts that he really wanted; arranged a fantastic party and still tried to dote on him this morning so that he could have a relaxing Sunday. And what do I get for it? A fecking grumpy old fart.
If this is what it's going to be like then next year I'm not even going to bother to acknowledge that he has a birthday. I'll make it a point to call everyone who knows him and tell them to just ignore the fact because he is an ungrateful, grumpy old fart.
We've been together for 11 years and have a 15 year age gap between us. I've never ever thought that this would become a problem but his actions over this whole event has made me feel very worried about our future. He's the one letting the age gap become a problem, not me. It has never phased me before but he's changing and I don't like what is happening. I'm extremely hurt by how he's treated me over this.

It is SO easy to blame the president. He is "in charge". He is 'responsible". Well, OK. Maybe so but he certainly did not take a gun and hold it to the heads of the MILLIONS of MORONS that signed crappy mortgages for homes the KNEW they could NOT afford!!! Bush NEVER told ANYONE to buy crap on credit that they could NOT afford to pay for with CASH. It all comes down to being financially responsible for YOURSELF. It really amazes me how many Americans did NOT give back that "lousy" stimulus check you mentioned! Hmm.. interesting indeed.
I do not need to defend Bush any longer, as I do not believe he did a great job. But he did not destroy this country as so many "haters" would have us believe. WE did it to OURSELVES. Take a look at the amount of CREDIT BURDEN the average American has, man! Is THAT Bush's fault too????? Please!

Certainly there are "high hopes". There always are when a new man takes over the White House. Bush made promises, too. They all do. That is part of what they do. I do not believe the country is going to crumble or anything like that. We go on. We managed to get through Clinton so I see no reason to fear. I will say this, if Obama being president can make things better socially (race relations) then I am for that. There is still far too much hate in this country and I would like to see it dissolve.
As for the economy, I really doubt that he is able to do much about that. I mean, he does not have the experience to make those decisions.They will be made for him. Of course, he will take credit (as did Clinton and his supporters) but it will NOT be because Obama is some kind of great leader. The financial situation is being addressed and will right itself through the work of those that actually know what they are doing. The bailout money will not hurt! HA!!!!!!! I can assure you the machine has many wonderful parts and it will be fixed.

I know it's sort of a lame song, but lyrically, it fits me like a glove:
I - Kiss
I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didn't know that I could do
Anything I needed to
And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I began to see
I just needed to believe in me
[Chorus]
Now I, believe in me
And I, believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
O-oooh and I believe in me
Ooh yes I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
Listen!
They say I didn't stand a chance
I couldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
There's nothing I can't do
Ain't no pretending
Ain't no make believe
But I've got to be the one
I've gotta do what must be done
[Chorus]
And I (I) believe in me
Woah-o and I (I) believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me
Yeah!
[Break]
I don't need no money
I don't need no fame...No!
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely
Don't need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone
[Chorus]
Cause I (I) believe in me
Woah-o and I (I) believe in something more
Than you (something more) can understand (something more)
Yes, I believe in me
Woah-a, and I believe in me (you feel it too, don't you?)
Well you know that I (I) believe in me
Ooh yes and I (I) believe in something more (c'mon)
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me (do you really?)
I believe in me (do ya, do ya)
Yes, I believe in me (I wanna rock and roll all nite)
Yes, I believe in me!

I always felt that Turbo got a bad rap from a lot of metal fans. Personally, I think it's a fun album to listen to. Turbo itself has a great beat to it and the rest of the album is well-written and fit what exactly the band was trying to do - which is something different (gasp!).

I think the album is lacking in good solid lyrics. Why continue the Unforgiven? Some of it seems very good, but there are too many substandard moments in it for me. James has seemed to have lost that edge, and kicking Jason Newsted out of the band was a huge mistake. No offense to Robert Trujillo b/c he's a much better bassist. However, Jason has a good growl and a stronger edge to his voice that James has seemingly lost.

Dehumanizer definitely stands out as the most powerful album Sabbath had put out since Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I first heard Time Machine when I picked up the Wayne's World soundtrack (porn star Tia Carre's version of Sweet's Ballroom Blitz always makes me thing dirty thoughts and alternate lyrics Hehehehe). Too be honest, it wasn't until a few years ago until I decided to give the post-Ozzy Sabbath eras a listen to (thank you Sirius Satellite Radio). I think the musicianship on the album is searing hot and Dio's vocal's are at their most powerful during I.
As for Seventh Star, I like The Shining, but never had a chance to hear the whole album. Okay...I could not sit through No Stranger To Love. Black Sabbath doing a power ballad? And a crappy one at that. Sorry but that sucked big time. There are very very few songs from the Kevin Martin and Ian Gillian eras that I care for, and that was definitely not one of them. Not even close. I'm gonna go puke now.
Yeah, Sabotage is excellent! What's your opinion on Dehumanizer?
Yesterday I decided to give Seventh Star another listen. Seventh Star is Black Sabbath "pulling a Turbo": mullets and synths all over the place. Seventh Star was released in 1986 as well. Funny huh?
The songs are 100% glam rock. The vocals are smooth as silk. The lyrics are just silly and the music is mellow and cheesy as hell. The video to "No Stranger To Love" is completely ridiculous. All the singer's doing is walking around with that silly mullet. And yet, I'm really enjoying this whole thing. Go figure...

I readily admit that I did not ask him why he was doing it, since it was irrelevant.
I was never interested, nor am I now, in receiving some kind of credit or accolades for the effort of others. There is no need for me to know "the whole story" as it was of little consequence to me. My concern remains with this Board and its membership. If one of our members is being attacked, there are MANY members that will stand up and say something about it. That is what we do here. We are family.
I will make a personal apology to anyone who feels as though I stepped in "at the end" and tried to grab some perceived "glory". Further, I will defer any and all of said glory (and all awards which surely will follow) to those that feel they are the true "heroes" in all of this. I do not wish to take that moment from them.

Alone is most definitely a metal anthem! Arguably one for the ages! While the song refers to JP's interpretation of a period in Nostradamus' life, lyrically, it calls to metal fans everywhere and says what we have all thought at one time or another.

I heard that Gene said they had inked a deal for a reality show to replace all the curent members. I can't imagine a new kiss album
And, personaly, I think its fine to discuss a different band here.

I would fucking kill to see a full blown production of Nostradamus here in the States! However, it remains to be seen if Priest would be able to in fact, do that. To do so, the logistics of it all are super immense and that means the ticket prices for the concerts will be what they were (or slightly higher) for the MoM Tour. And if it's going to be pricey in the US, what does that say about Canada, Europe and all of the other places JP would land?

I saw the concert last night at Nissan Pavillion. It didn't rain, the weather was very nice, and the venue not too crowded, surprisingly. I didn't see too many drunk/high people, and the crowd seemed mostly older - 30s and 40s (I'm 46) and even older. Everything was outrageously expensive - we spent about $130 on beer and food and water. We had pretty good seats and I had binoculars too.
I didn't care for Testament, so didn't really listen to them.
Motorhead, was, well, Motorhead! Same as they always have been; one song sounds like another. They did Ace of Spades but did not do Iron Fist.
Heaven and Hell was good. Iommi's guitar was perfect. Dio has a nice voice, but ZERO stage presence and his lyrics have always sucked. I never have been a Dio fan, but it was worth it to see Iommi and Butler and Ward.
Priest was very very good. Halford didn't seem to exude the energy I always remember him having but his voice was good. He struggled a bit on Painkiller, but I don't think there's anyone else who can sing that song! He changed coats for every single song and I'd like to have some of those coats he was wearing! I bet some of them weighed 50 pounds with all the metal they had on them!
I wore earplugs so have saved my hearing - it was LOUD!
And I have come away with another great memory of a great metal concert!

Maple, they didn't play Grinder tonight. But I think it's b/c they had to go with the short set-list to accomodate the idiotic Camden, NJ noise ordinance law. Concert was done by 11pm, and we only got 16 out of maybe 21 songs from Priest. I'm not complaining about the short list, but if anything, I am only mentioning the stupid noise ordinance law.
[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Thursday, August 07, 2008 12:24:11 AM
Okay, being there is a noise ordinance in effect in Camden, NJ. All concert venues shutdown at 11pm. That being said, we only got 16songs from Priest (9 from H-n-H but the song Heaven And Hell itself was a 12 minute jam fest). Anyhow, here's the Priest setlist from this evening. To all those going to the Virginia show tonight, you people are in for a serious treat! Halford and the boys (especially Rob) were fucking incredible!

My first favorite metal band was Ozzy's solo band. Saw the 'Bark At The Moon' video on an old TV show called Friday Night Videos. I was hooked from then on, but got swept up in the whole hair metal thing that was dominating Mtv in the 80's. I credit Metallica's hit 'One' for beginning to straighten me out though, and I also have to credit the payroll guy from one of the US Navy air wing's (his name escapes me at this time), for having someone to talk with about metal.
There was a time during the hockey season when John Stevens' ability to coach the Flyers to the playoffs was questioned. It was in the middle of a losing streak, when the Flyers fell from the top of the division and, seemingly, out of playoff contention.
But Stevens stood behind his team and his staff, and yesterday, Stevens was honored by The Hockey News, which named him coach of the year for leading the Flyers from the bottom of the league to the Eastern Conference finals in one season.
"[Stevens] is the coach that we deemed did the best job in the regular season and postseason," Hockey News editor Jason Kay said yesterday. "John did a great job in leading a great turnaround, but also the style that he employs, such a calm demeanor behind the bench, is an example of his leadership.
"The way that he carries himself showed with the product on the ice, particularly in the playoffs, the way that team stuck together and held together when a lot of people didn't anticipate they would do as well."
In his typical out-of-the-limelight style, Stevens refused to accept the award as an individual honor.
"To me, this is more of an organizational award than a coaching award," Stevens said. "I think that it's a reflection of all the good things done from [general manager Paul Holmgren] down to the players. The honor was given to me, but in my mind it should be given to the entire organization for all the work that everyone has done."
Team chairman Ed Snider and Holmgren did not agree.
"There was a lot of pressure on John and his staff coming into this season," Snider said. "It's truly remarkable what he was able to accomplish, taking us from last place a season ago into the Eastern Conference finals. Our entire organization is extremely proud of all that John and his team accomplished this year."
"John did an exceptional job in his first full season as a head coach in the NHL and of our hockey club," Holmgren added. "He is very deserving of this award." *

Sabbath with Dio is simply put: awesome! I think Ronnie himself said before in an interview that he can write how he wants to in Sabbath. I'd have to agree with him too. Nothing against Dio's solo work or any of the stuff with Rainbow (never heard any of Elf so I can't comment on that), but the stuff he wrote in Black Sabbath easily puts everything he did as a solo artist to shame - save for maybe 5 or 6 songs.
Also, regarding the "Dio Years" box set, I really like the slow, plodding, power metal style they employed. Great headbanging material.

I like that list alot but I think I would possibly switch out 'Death' for 'Alone' and add Exciter, Hell Patrol, Ram It Down, and Blood Red Skies. I love both songs, but I think the chorus on 'Alone' is more powerful. The song alone is simply moving. 'Death' sounds like classic Black Sabbath. Haunting, gloomy, and the kind of song you don't want to fall asleep too. For the three songs I added, Exciter is a Priest standard; Ram It Down is the equivalent of standing in the way of a stock car doing 180mph and getting run over by it and Blood Red Skies is absolutely defiant. A real f-off to those who try and take what does not belong to them. As for Hell Patrol, allow me to paraphrase Hellrider by saying that it's a total rush of powwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwer! That being said, my list would look this way:
The Hellion/Electric Eye
Metal Gods
Heading Out To The Highway
The Ripper
Ram It Down
Green Manalishi
Angel
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Blood Red Skies
Alone
Hell Patrol
Judas Rising
The Sentinel
Turbo Lover
Victim Of Changes
Exciter
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
Living After Midnight
You've Got Another Thing Comin'
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 Hellion / Electric Eye
Metal Gods
Heading Out To The Highway
The Ripper
Death
Judas Rising
Breaking The Law
The Sentinel
Angel
Beyond The Realms Of Death
Turbo Lover
Victim Of Changes
The Green Manalishi
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
Living After Midnight
You've Got Another Thing Comin'

I didn't say it was either.

I can probably see where someone might say that, Bev. Zep made some great hard rock songs...Dazed & Confused, Whole Lotta Love, In The Evening, and Stairway To Heaven to name a few. Those songs have dark, heavy guitars, great riffs, and provided bands that came after them with an incredible influence on their playing. Still not heavy metal.
It's not just what the guitars, bass and drums sound like, a lot of it has to do with the subject matter and how it's presented by the artist as well. Sabbath were masters of this (Sabbra Cadabra anyone?). Alice Cooper too (Under My Wheels came to mind first). Alice's songs were dark and heavy, but to me, his constant use of horns keeps him in the Hard Rock genre with Aerosmith, DP, Zep and Kiss. Kiss in the 70s isn't metal, but they had the same ingredients I mentioned with Led Zeppelin, and their image/stage show is something no one else can duplicate or match without coming off like a bunch of posers. Deep Purple were awesome, but outside of the Machine Head album, you can't say they were metal in any sense of the word. The closest Deep Purple came to the heavy sound of Machine Head was with Perfect Strangers. They are literally in the same boat that Kiss and Zep were in back in the 70's musically. Kiss' sound got bigger and darker in 81/82, when they replaced drummer Peter Criss with Eric Carr. It's Eric's double bass technique and superior drumming that kept Kiss' sound fresh. If you listen or even watch Peter Criss playing say, Detroit Rock City or Love Gun, and then watch footage of Eric Carr playing those same songs on the Unmasked Tour. The drums have a bigger sound. Not just because of the double bass, but b/c his overall playing style lent itself to taking those songs and the band's overall sound to the next level. If Gene & Paul had been smarter back in '77 when they were wooing Eddie Van Halen, they should've taken Alex Van Halen and replaced Peter Criss. Kiss' sound would've (presumably) soared to those sonic heights that didn't come until after Ace & Peter were replaced by Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr.

No way, Troubleshooter. Black Sabbath/HnH is absolutely fucking awesome in their own right! RJD's songwriting put the Black back into Sabbath after 1978's Never Say Die and Technical Ecstasty. Great music was written and performed by that particular lineup...Mob Rules, Heaven And Hell, Sign Of The Southern Cross, Neon Knights, Time Machine. The shitty radio stations in Philadelphia gives Sabbath a major shafting if the songs aren't War Pigs, NIB, Paranoid, and Iron Man and therefore, the fans knowledge of the overall body of work is sorely lacking, lest you go searching out black sabbath songs on say...youtube.com. Don't get me wrong, if they ain't your cup of tea or they don't measure up to the best band in the universe (that would be Judas Priest), that's cool but they damn sure ain't no warm up band.

I saw her band open for Maiden on the current tour. She's fucking hot! Musically, her band is straight out of the big hair 80's. Catchy hooks. Songs were pretty decent, but her voice is kind of shrill in a live setting. It doesn't carry well in outdoor venues.

I bet if you asked Ian Gillen if he thought the Purple were metal, he'd probably order you and him a good stiff drink and tell you they're a rock band. Kiss is arguably the closest out of Purple, Aerosmith and Kiss. Their sound is very crunchy and agressive. Aerosmith is the least metal of the 3 easily. I won't even go into why, since it should be evident from listening to their music. Rush isn't metal either for that matter. Great progressive rock band, but if you want a prog artist that sounds metal, look to King Diamond/Mercyful Fate and Dream Theater.

It would be nice to have a Metal Hall of Fame, but unless some rich metalhead does it themselves, it's never going to happen. That's just an honest assessment, but I would love to see one happen.
To answer your question Priestadict, there is a fairly decent article on the subject of heavy metal on wikipedia. Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music. Whitesnake could be classified as pop or hair metal. Pop and Hair metal refers to a lot of the bands popular during the 1980's. Acts such as Kiss, Poison, Cinderella could be classified as such. Another term relating to those 4 same acts and others like them would be glam metal, because they were all cutesy looking or because they were simply wearing make up (think 70's Kiss and early Motley Crue). Also, when referring to Whitesnake's sound, the likes of Bernie Marsden, John Sykes, Adrian Vandenberg and Steve Vai (I know I'm missing someone at the beginning of the list - oh well) all played on Whitesnake CD's during the band's heyday in the 80's.

Well put Sue! Mine is on continuous play when I drive.
The reason there are such threads on the site is because there are NO MODS. Hence, b.s. threads like this sometimes occur. Also, it's been pointed out a million times over, there are far too many Nostradamus threads and it's completely unnecessary to have 10 (give or take a couple I didn't count them all) threads regarding the same general topic. If people want to post an opinion on the CD, due it in the Review of Nostradamus thread for Christ's sake! I believe someone else here put it best when they said that (I'm paraphrasing here) it's getting out of control. I agree with that. It's gotten to the point of being absolutely ridiculous!
Sorry, I don't mean to yell...I'm just terribly annoyed at all of the negativity. I think that if people don't have anything nice to say, they ought to not say anything at all. NO, I fully realize that I am not perfect, nor do I think I'm better than anyone else. I have simply come to realize that certain people are more correct than I previously thought, and I am voicing my agreement with their sentiments.

For those of you lurking in the shadows of the Cyber World and not feeling the pure greatness of Priest's latest release, it's like the band and everyone else here has said: keep an open mind, and listen to the damn thing 2 or 3 times before passing judgement on it!!! There is so much stuff going on in each of the songs, that listening to it via the web won't do it justice, and if you have crappy sound on your computer, you'll be irked too.

I have now heard Nostradamus 3 times back-to-back on my sterio with headphones. I give it a whopping 10 out of 10!!!! It's an absolutely genious total package of everything Judas Priest, and Nostradame was, and will be forever more!!!
It's like a fine play telling the life of Nostradamus in a way I've never heard before. The intensity of it all as a whole has overwhelmed me, and the most ingenious part of it, was the build-up in the music from song to song 'til it reached it's climax which is the song Nostradamus which absolutely shreds!!!! Rob's still got his voice as well.
I cannot pick a favorite song from this CD, as to me it is one long song, but it obviously grew on me very quickly, and I totally am loving it!!!!
I'll rant on more about it on other threads, but it's late, and I am heading to bed with my ears ringing from the day-long musical journey that is Nostradamus.

Rob's voice is gone down the tubes. He's singing in a very limited vocal range, and I'm afraid it will only get worse from here. The few times he tries to hit a higher note, his voice strains to reach it, and I can almost hear it crack.

I've loved Judas Priest since I was thirteen when this boy two years older than me played me "Breakin the Law". I was hooked and they have been my favourite band to this day. The boy for some reason use to like playing ME music.
The boy was hot and desired by all the girls and never failed to have a pretty girl on his arm thru his teens and adult life. We were friends and bumped into each other a couple of times over the years having both lived in the Westside for the most.
Anyway as life would find me single and fancy free at 38, I posted an ad on a dating site and simply had the caption "Catch the play now, eye to eye, don't let chances pass you by" and to my surprise I got the reply "Always someone at your back, biding their time, for attack".
Well I was truly excited and converstion began about Judas Priest and then moved onto other things. Over three weeks of emails and no photo exchange, he asked me to the drags. We hooked up and OMG it was the boy! The hot boy from my past, the boy whom is now my man!! and is still as hot as ever. We have found in each other what we could not find in any other mate and it's thanks to Judas Priest bringin us together.

Dead, I appreciate the fact you're pissed off about Necro leaving. But I for one had enough of his constant bitching and griping about the new CD. I respect the fact that he didn't like it, but like others here, I REFUSE to keep having to hear him bash Priest for the disc. Get over it already! Tons of people love or at least like, the Nostradamus CD. Hell, it even debuted in the Billboard Top 10 here in the US! I'm betting it'll had a similar debut in the UK and elsewhere.

[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Wednesday, June 25, 2008 5:32:09 AM
I have to agree with the others: you're nuts.
The current tour is not the full-blown Nostradamus CD. I think it's a couple of songs, a few standards, and a few songs they don't normally play or haven't played in years. After this tour, my understanding is they'll do a full on Nostradamus tour after this one.
Now, let's breakdown your complaints:
1. It's not something anyone here is able to control, and I don't think it's cool that Priest isn't hitting more cities. But I'm certain the band has their reasons.
2. If you think it's disappointing, then you're entitled to your opinion.
3. I already touched on this earlier.
4. As someone else already posted (and this is a known fact), that Nostradamus was presented as a possible idea for the concept album Judas Priest wanted to make, and they ran with it. It wasn't forced on them. Where the hell did you get that idea from? Do yourself and everyone else here a favor and read the threads before posting b.s..
5. How is this disaster? The band stated from the BEGINNING this was not going to be a typical Priest album, or even a Heavy Metal album. What were you expecting?
Also, why the fuck are you creating a thread just to bitch? There are far too many Nostradamus threads as it is now, and you're creating a thread to bitch and complain about the disc? Dude, why not use one of the EXISTING threads to express sentiments instead?
And one more thing: Since you haven't done any research to back up your b.s., they've clearly stated on multiple occasions they have wanted to do a concept album for years! I wouldn't exactly call this jumping on the concept album craze. Nor are they exactly following a trend. How many concept albums have you heard where an entire song was done in Italian? Or, have symphonic elements in every tune? (sorry, but Metallica's S&M or any of the live albums with a symphony playing along with the band counts) [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by JudasPriest4Ever from Wednesday, June 25, 2008 1:31:49 AM)

Trouble Shooter - Nothing against you, but you obviously don't know anything about the man.
For everyone else: Cooper gave details on his radio show (Nights With Alice Cooper) of the album's storyline and that the theme of the album revolves around a “cool, calm and collected” [1]serial killer named Spider, and the eight victims he needs to kill in order to live; police are baffled by the bodies of Spider’s victims, who are cocooned in a silk web, and are each missing a leg. Spider’s task is to collect eight legs in order to complete the construction of his own spider, however, things get complicated when he falls in love with his eighth victim.
The album had originally been earmarked for release in 2007, but problems with producer scheduling and a busy touring schedule caused it to be delayed a year. A number of songs and demos for the album were prepared and short listed during 2007, and further recording and writing work took place on the album in February 2008. In an interview with Billboard Alice stated that the album was 75% done as of April 18th 2008, and tentatively gave August as a release date.[2]

Well put, Betrayer...and I agree with you to an extent. There are spots where I would like to hear more guitar than orchestra, but still...everything fits very nicely. My understanding is they are going to be playing Prophecy and Death on the current tour. As for certain songs kind of sounding like Iron Maiden in some places, no offense meant, but ummm...who cares? Maiden are the masters of such epics (see Aces High, Flight Of Icarus, and Paschendale for a mere smidgen of their abilities there), but I think it's more of Rob and the guys knowing how stuff fits a song - which is a lot more than you and I know.
I think my main problem with this album is the guitars (or rather lack of them - rhythm guitars, certainly). There are a lot of catchy hooks, and memorable choruses etc, but when it comes to some of the guitar work, it appears to be so far down in the mix & in some places so washed over by the keyboards (or guitar synths) that the word "tame" or "lame" spring to mind.
This is a Judas Priest album after all, and one would expect rather more than the occasional, and in places, almost apologetic, toned down riffing. The rhythm guitar is the main weapon of attack for any self-respecting heavy metal band, and also gives many a song a true set of balls. Without it "vicious" can easily become "vacuous" or turn "titantic" into "timid".
Before I'm scorned as just another "in your face, all the time merchant", I would just like to add that two of my very favourite Priest tracks are "Run Of The Mill" & "Dreamer Deceiver" which have more than their fair share of light & shade - something I very much appreciate in a song, or two - not a whole album though!
Nostradamus is a good album, an excellent soundtrack score album even, I'm just not so sure how great a Judas Priest album it is (Conquest, Pestilance & Plague, plus Future Of Mankind even sound like Iron Maiden in places), but I shall keep listening to it, and will go & see them on tour in the UK (in 2009, hopefully - saw them at Download 2008, and they were brilliant!), and if they want to do the whole album live - fine, I'll be there!
[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Monday, June 23, 2008 4:46:48 AM
I respectfully need to disagree with you, dream...The Elder wasn't that well written (A Dark Light and I stand out as being sub-standard tunes to me). Also, no one wanted to hear Kiss do a concept album, especially since it came on the heels of Unmasked. That was foolish to say the least. Kiss would've been much better served following Ace's idea of making a strong rock album, and then maybe they could've done the concept album thing afterwards.
As for Nostradamus, I think it more than holds it's own against several Priest albums and even then, it shouldn't have too b/c it's nothing like any of them. I'm not a musician in any sense but I found plenty of great songs that whet my metal appettite and let the band take me on a musical journey through the life and times of Nostradamus (no, drugs were not involved ummkay?).

LMAO! Ahhhh...DC my friend, you kill me. I knew you'd come around soon. Nostradamus is truly a masterfull piece of songwriting and musicianship! This isn't just a heavy metal concept album...it is I dare say, something that is all encompassing!!! For those of you lurking in the shadows of the Cyber World and not feeling the pure greatness of Priest's latest release, it's like the band and everyone else here has said: keep an open mind, and listen to the damn thing 2 or 3 times before passing judgement on it!!! There is so much stuff going on in each of the songs, that listening to it via the web won't do it justice, and if you have crappy sound on your computer, you'll be irked too. I say put it in your best CD player (if it's in your car, then go cruising!), relax in your favorite chair and let the story Priest is conveying with this disc take you on a journey (anyone got some LSD?) through the life of Nostradamus.

I have now heard Nostradamus 3 times back-to-back on my sterio with headphones. I give it a whopping 10 out of 10!!!! It's an absolutely genious total package of everything Judas Priest, and Nostradame was, and will be forever more!!!
It's like a fine play telling the life of Nostradamus in a way I've never heard before. The intensity of it all as a whole has overwhelmed me, and the most ingenious part of it, was the build-up in the music from song to song 'til it reached it's climax which is the song Nostradamus which absolutely shreds!!!! Rob's still got his voice as well.
I cannot pick a favorite song from this CD, as to me it is one long song, but it obviously grew on me very quickly, and I totally am loving it!!!!
I'll rant on more about it on other threads, but it's late, and I am heading to bed with my ears ringing from the day-long musical journey that is Nostradamus.
Final note, and perhaps the most beautifully written song I've ever read/heard...Did anyone see Lost Love coming from our beloved Judas Priest? Absolutely astonishing!!!!

I've tried to listen to the "leak" of Nostradamus twice now. The first time I made it to song #16, and the 2nd time...song #12. I was hoping it would get better the 2nd time, but it didn't. Rob's voice is gone down the tubes. He's singing in a very limited vocal range, and I'm afraid it will only get worse from here. The few times he tries to hit a higher note, his voice strains to reach it, and I can almost hear it crack.
I will eventually hear it all, but for now...I'm quite dissapointed that I spent money for the deluxe edition. It doesn't sound like it will be worth $42 I spent.
I hope the book, and poster are better than the cd!

Personally, I don't think you can make any such comparisons. Nostradamus is so vastly different from anything that Judas Priest has done that it's like comparing a badass SUV (Nostradamus) vs a killer sports car (Painkiller).

Okay let me apologize for not replying until now. I tend to have a life outside of work and Priest fandom like the rest of my metal brethern do (I bet that shocks you, doesn't it, Rob?).
Very true, HB. Rob, it's mind-boggling to myself and plenty of others for you to say that you basically hate every release that Priest has put out starting with Turbo through now (not sure why you don't include Painkiller in that as well, since they're using processors there as well too). As for not wanting to make people upset...what did you expect to happen when you go and bash the band's effort on their own website!?!? You didn't think about that, did you?
As for you not knowing anything about DF's condition, that's fine. It took me a while to figure out what the deal was myself, but don't you bother reading or perusing the other threads? I don't get that, but to each their own.
To be perfectly honest, Rob...I won't listen to either Jugulator or Demolition b/c I'm not a fan of Ripper Owens. However, I think HB put it best when he said that he doesn't understand how everything from Turbo through AOR sound alike to you. I'm not a musician, but even my untrained ear can easily discern that none of those CD's sound similiar.
Okay, my involvement in this discussion has ended. I'm not commenting further on it. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Monday, June 16, 2008 10:43:55 PM)

I dont quite understand how turbo, RID, Jug, Demo and Angel all sound similar to you, but thats your thing. I havent listened to this yet, because I want the Actual CD so I can hear it on decent speakers. either I like it or I dont, but either way, I like priest.
Rob Ward wrote:
Alright Darth first let’s go back to the beginning and why we are here in the first place. I gave my honest opinion about the cd, I didn't call anyone names, I didn't say you was stupid if you like this cd, I didn't bring anyone in to it. I've never talked to you or Deep before in my life, I have no idea who you are, I don't know what kind of person you are, and I've never read any of your post. So then I get attacked by the two of you and neither of you know anything about me, yet you call me names and tell lies and half truths about me, even up to today you called me and "arrogant S.O.B" and it's completely unwarranted as I have been defending myself from your attacks since your first response to me.
As for my "HONEST" review of the cd, I held nothing back because I'm tired of the same old crap this band has been putting out since Turbo with the exception of Painkiller. I said I hate Judas Priest because at this point I do; I hate them because they make it hard for me to continue to be fan. I'm sick of the thrash metal cd’s and songs, I'm sick of the down right crappy music, see Ram It Down. I know every cd can't be Screaming for Vengeance, but damn dude this crap they've been putting out is getting old. I'm tired of hearing Glenn play solo's that all sound the same, they're all fast, noodley, and void of any feeling. I hate that they use processors instead of real amps, their guitar tone is nothing like it used to be, in fact its worse then it's ever been. I hate it when I hear or read an interview and they say things like "The Metal Community," "The Kids," I'm forty freakin' years old I'm not a kid, and I don’t think of music in terms of metal being this separate entity that people who like Judas Priest listen to nothing but heavy metal.I have a very diverse taste in music and I don’t want to be included in this alternative universe. This isn’t the 80’s when Heavy Metal was considered the devils music, heck it has its own category at the music awards thanks to Metallica.
Then they come out with this conceptual album, if you like it that's fine with me but I don't. I don't want to like it, I want to listen to music with feeling and energy, fist pumping head banging actual music, not some freakin' "Metal Opera" that I have to listen to in the dark 3 or 4 times by myself before I "Understand" what they're trying to do. When I was 15 I probably would have liked this cd, I would have thought of it as some mysterious puzzle that I had to decode. That's why I used the phrase, "Mush Brained Adolescences," at 15 that's pretty much what you are. Being 40 years old I look at it as a piece of crap and a waste of time. Who gives a freak about Nostradamus anyway? Why in the heck is it about Nostradamus? He's as irrelevant as the cold war.
I was listening to Halfords solo stuff, War of Words, and Resurrection, those 2 cd's are better then anything Priest has put out since Defenders of the Faith, with the exception of Painkiller. Crucible is another great cd, I listen to that stuff and then I hear Nostradamus and I ask myself, why am I still a fan of this band? I've been listening to Priest since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but since Turbo came out I have been less and less a fan. When Painkiller came out it was a breath of fresh air, I thought to myself finally a cd that I'm proud to listen to, then the whole thing with Rob leaving the band and the way in which they handled it, Glenn calling Tim the best singer Priest ever had etc. etc. it was a joke. I'm sure you've heard a band call "Airborne," those guys are kicking ass, they're the complete package. Their songs kick ass, their actually entertaining to listen to, and its actual music. Their guitar tone is to die for, the guitar work is so bluesy and soulful, it's the kind of music you have on while your hanging with your buddies and or your girl while your drinking a couple of beers shooting some pool or whatever. Nostradamus doesn't offer that so I'm not interested in Nostradamus.
As for Deep and his physical condition, like I said I don't know they guy, I've never read any of his post, I don't know what kind of person he is. But like with you I have been defending myself since he first responded to my post. I never attacked him he attacks me by calling me names and suggesting to other people that my opinion was irrelevant because he didn't agree with it. I don't wish bad things on anyone and I'll keep him in my prayers, but being disabled isn't a free pass, I won't hesitate to defend myself.

Okay Rob, so let's talk about your "honest opinion" of the new CD. It's one thing to have an opinion and not like a release. That's not what our problem is. The problem is that you claim to be a Judas Priest fan for x amount of years, yet you clearly state that in your first post on this thread, that you hate Judas Priest for this CD.
Frankly, even if I didn't like a CD, I wouldn't go as far as to hate a band for it. You might as well not even be a fan. Seriously, I mean your original diatribe (hard to call it an opinion since you rambled on so incessantly when your point was well made in your first post) raised your level of discourse (to a whole lot of people here) to the point where a casual observer would probably wonder why you're even a fan at all.
If you don't like the CD...hey, that's fine. That's your opinion. The hate thing for a band you supposedly are a fan of is clearly stupid at best though. Maybe a clarification of your original comment is needed since we've possibly misunderstood you?

I stand by my previous comments. Your remarks were NOT of a constructive nature but rather, they were meant to cause discord; at this point and time I can honestly say I hate Judas Priest. THAT is a musical opinion??? Perhaps you should spend a bit more time in class (or should have) to get a clearer understanding of the words we use in the English language? By any standard, you could certainly use a lesson or two in manners.
I do not believe that it was I who asked for you to "leave". I certainly do not care if you are here or you are not. As I have mentioned before, it is not up to me and your ilk have come and gone so many times I have lost count. But, when one comes to an OFFICIAL site and expresses "hate" for the site's subject, I tend to believe it is not about having an opinion or exercising ones right to speech. It is an overt attempt to grab attention or agitate. (I will give you a moment to look those up as well)
Say what you will. You have that right. But there is no need to be a liar in addition to being a boor.

I don't do anything for a reaction; I posted what I thought about the cd and the singles that was previously released. It is you and Darth and a couple of others that attack someone for giving their honest opinion about the cd, it is you and they that try for a reaction. I never once called anyone a name or made a derogatory comment to or about anyone. I gave my honest opinion and because it wasn't a positive cool aid drinking opinion I am attacked for it.
I don't care what Judas Priest is trying to achieve with this cd, it sucks. I am one that likes music that is inspiring and entertaining, nothing in this cd is entertaining. I hate the guitar sound, I hate the guitar work, and I hate all the slow dragged out songs that sounds like the one before it. I don't like the vocals, it's a lame attempt at opera, and they are completely out of place. I don't like the cd and I don't need to leave the board because you or anyone else doesn't like what I say. If you and Darth can't handle what people say then it is you and he that needs to leave.
I am now, always have been, and always will be a Judas Priest fan, but I hate them for recording this cd and few others. Just because you write something that so completely different then anything anyone else has ever done, doesn't automatically make it something great. IMO they failed with this cd, if you or anyone else can't handle my opinion then TFB!

Okay Rob, so let's talk about your "honest opinion" of the new CD. It's one thing to have an opinion and not like a release. That's not what our problem is. The problem is that you claim to be a Judas Priest fan for x amount of years, yet you clearly state that in your first post on this thread, that you hate Judas Priest for this CD.
Frankly, even if I didn't like a CD, I wouldn't go as far as to hate a band for it. You might as well not even be a fan. Seriously, I mean your original diatribe (hard to call it an opinion since you rambled on so incessantly when your point was well made in your first post) raised your level of discourse (to a whole lot of people here) to the point where a casual observer would probably wonder why you're even a fan at all.
If you don't like the CD...hey, that's fine. That's your opinion. The hate thing for a band you supposedly are a fan of is clearly stupid at best though. Maybe a clarification of your original comment is needed since we've possibly misunderstood you?
BTW, you're a liberal, aren't you? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Darth_Painkiller_0870 from Monday, June 16, 2008 4:37:49 AM)

Wow, Rob! You really are an ignorant s.o.b., aren't you? First off, since you ignored Freeze, let me explain a few things that you have also ignored in the 5 yrs you've been a member of this site:
1. Freeze is disabled. There is a Deep Freeze Well Wishers Thread that you might want to take the time to read through at your lesuire to gain some measure of understanding.
2. Freeze is older than you by a few years. Sorry, but I don't remember his exact age. Perhaps you can go ask him yourself in PM?
3. Lastly, DF is without a doubt, a staunch conservative (as am I btw).
As for my font size, if you don't like it, oh well. Back to work for me!

Your clearly a person that thinks they are the smartest in the room which is a clear indicator to me that you are in fact a liberal, you talk down to people that you don't agree with and you haven't the mannerism to debate anything, another clear indicator of a liberal.
You want to judge me by the amount of friends I have on this board, I have been a member of this board for 5 years and only have 1 friend and counting this post a total of 66 posts. That's an indicator that I actually have a real life and only post when I feel that it's relevant to the band. You on the other hand have been a member for 3 years and yet you have well over 15,000 post and you’re being ignored by 21 people, that's an indicator to me that you have no life to speak of, that's about 13 post a day. Does your mom know your on your computer that much? I mean I'm sure you don't spend all of your internet time on the Judas Priest board, get a job man and do something with your life...
Count me as #22 on your ignore list, your a waste of time and I'll need to reevaluate myself because I find very disturbing that I would actually have something in common with loser like you....

I do not believe that it was I who asked for you to "leave". I certainly do not care if you are here or you are not. As I have mentioned before, it is not up to me and your ilk have come and gone so many times I have lost count. But, when one comes to an OFFICIAL site and expresses "hate" for the site's subject, I tend to believe it is not about having an opinion or exercising ones right to speech. It is an overt attempt to grab attention or agitate. (I will give you a moment to look those up as well)
Say what you will. You have that right. But there is no need to be a liar in addition to being a boor.

I never once called anyone a name or made a derogatory comment to or about anyone. I gave my honest opinion and because it wasn't a positive cool aid drinking opinion I am attacked for it.
I don't care what Judas Priest is trying to achieve with this cd, it sucks. I am one that likes music that is inspiring and entertaining, nothing in this cd is entertaining. I hate the guitar sound, I hate the guitar work, and I hate all the slow dragged out songs that sounds like the one before it. I don't like the vocals, it's a lame attempt at opera, and they are completely out of place. I don't like the cd and I don't need to leave the board because you or anyone else doesn't like what I say. If you and Darth can't handle what people say then it is you and he that needs to leave.
I am now, always have been, and always will be a Judas Priest fan, but I hate them for recording this cd and few others. Just because you write something that so completely different then anything anyone else has ever done, doesn't automatically make it something great. IMO they failed with this cd, if you or anyone else can't handle my opinion then TFB!

Okay, I haven't been a Priest fan for 20 or 30 years like most of you. However, Druzul, creating your own thread to review the CD when there are already threads out there regarding it is wasteful and ridiculous.
Regarding the haters: I think you guys are crazy. Plain and simple. Rob reminds me of the haters who used to frequent the noticeboard and harrassed Jayne when she was on here. The reason that Judas Priest are saying to listen to the CD twice before forming your opinion on it, is simply because there is so much going on in it. Personally, I've listened to it twice now, and I'm super-fucking happy as a pig in mud to hear something so melodious and well-written. Halford's vocals are top notch and the band's music on the CD is more diverse and well-composed.
Rob Ward, you ramble way too much dude. We get that you hate Judas Priest now. So, just do us all a favor and leave.

All three band were outstanding and were so professional. When I see things like this, my faith in local music is so restored. Maybe one of these days they'll go international and you can all give them a great listening to but until then, take it from a fussy fan of metal, these boys shat off last night! So much energy and passion it was a pity when it came time to go home.
I'm now all pumped up to see Seether play on sunday, I'm so looking forward to that!! Nice to have Seether come back home and I'm expecting a ground shaking show from them, I know they're more than capable.. so proud to have them represent our country in the international music scene!

Sorry if it came across as bashing, Druzul. However, as I previously stated, there already are threads regarding Nostradamus. Instead of creating yet another thread about the same topic (Nostradamus), wouldn't it have been easier to post the link into an existing thread? Again, I apologize for coming off harshly to you earlier.
You did a cool thing by posting the link and I shouldn't have bashed you.

Well said, HB. There are certain people creeping up on the boards lately who seem to be fans only when something the band does suit their tastes and hate the band when they don't care for what they put out whether it be a song or a CD.

I'll start with the beginning and go song to song. (Note: I am reviewing because I think it needs to be done properly. And I want to get Priest fans pumped who haven't heard it.)
Dawn Of Creation -
Starts slow and slowly builds into an intense melodic rhythm that fits perfectly with the song it introduces. Very unique sounding and flawless.
10/10
Prophecy -
Pretty solid track. Holds previously built intensity pretty well. Solo section is Ram It Down Era awesomeness(I must note than the arpeggio lick before the harmony section of the solo is fantastic!) Rob's "freestyle" section in which he kind of narrates before the solo and after is pretty cool, backed by violins. And the part in which the drums drop out then start to build back up to the chorus with the deep voiced Nostradamus is lame as the chorus, but always gives me a smile, I love this song.
9/10
Revelations-
What can you say about Revelations, one of the strongest from this album. Lyrics start out kind of iffy and in a slow pace. Rob builds it with harmonies, and the strings in the back keep this song layered. The bridge before the chorus is intense and the chorus is better than most Priest choruses have ever been. Top notch. This song has great changes, taking it to new heights.
Midway into the song it sounds like Priest are more getting experimental, which is a great thing.
The long drawn out sweeping solo is a disappointment, because it started out great. And it must be mentioned that the second solo tone(in the left channel) is a bit much. Very nasty sounding. But this song will keep you guessing and surprise you. And overall it is awesome.
9/10
The Four Horsemen-
Starts out like a church hymnal or something, But it redeems itself with neat orchestral elements that build.
7/10
War- Very theatrical song. Has lots of neat orchestral elements. Very powerful chorus, preceded by a mediocre, yet dark and nice in its own way verse. Lots of nice sound effects and buildup, then it climaxes in an awesome way. Note: For me, the vocals on this song are somehow out of time. Don't know how they missed this. My guess is the warlike marching beat is somehow to blame, since it isn't a typical hihat/ride beat.
7/10
Sands Of Time-
Pretty ballad with Rob demonstrating his fantastic vocal control, and showcasing his midrange. Lots of reverberation. It ends with a questionable note choice on Rob's Part. However, foreshadows well what is to come.
8/10
Pestilence and Plague-
Pestilence and Plague picks up and shows the band is still in top form. The intro riff has nice choir voice sounds. Don't really know how to describe them, but they add color to the riff. The verse is somehow a little weak, but the chorus fully makes up for it. The chorus is awesome! Rob sings BEAUTIFULLY. The Metal God at his best right here. The drumming is pretty spot on, fits the rhythm nicely. The solo section is probably the best from this album. Amazing leadbreak, tasteful and beatiful tonal quality. It goes into the chorus melody only with guitars and of course, strings in the background. The song doesn't end there, Priest shows off their dynamic abilities, then climaxes the song with the chorus. Beatiful Ending.
10/10
Death-
The album then takes a sudden dip to hell. And I mean that in a very good way. Messenger of DEATH! Doomy riffs(sort of) and dark vocals. Rob also shows he can still wail(not perfectly, but he gets up there.). Gotta love those evil arpeggios after the chorus.
Unexplainably good tempo changes and powerful melodic vocals later in the song make this song a classic, glad they are playing it live.
10/10
Peace-
Peace begins very soft but builds nicely.
Very memorable vocal melody, and the harmonizing acoustic guitars make this a perfect addition to the album.
10/10
Conquest-
Power Metal-type rocker with a deeper, much more awesome side. Rob hits a nice clean desert plains-type note at the end of the chorus. Weird arabian sounds in the second verse. The solo section is amazing and fresh. And after the solo is Rob's less typical growled midrange vocals, which sound fucking brilliant. (9/10, maybe ten, haven't given it enough listens.)
Lost Love-
Lost Love shows that Nostradamus's life can be related to. It's a typical love song, but still, its Rob Halford. The guitar melody sounds flawed, but still nice. Doesn't really go anywhere, but tells a genuine story. I like it. The women will love this one.
6/10
Persecution-
Once this one begins and you start to see where its going with the evil voice and such, you begin smiling. You know Priest is about to Clydesdale you in the balls. And they do, just in a much different way than you'd expect. Sounds like a Halford tune at first, but then mixed in with Priest's new eviler side. Not Painkiler like evil, its much much darker, and more genuine. In the background you hear Rob's piercing vocals. The Chorus is incomprehensibly evil sounding.
The song's opening riff is "painfully generic" as i've said before, but it goes far beyond this riff. There is some shit here that we've never heard priest do. Rob does some vocals that are reminescent of Freewheel Burning because of their sheer speed, but they are more melodious and intense. This song isn't easily comprehended, its absolutely massive, it supercedes this whole album. I dare say groundbreaking.
10/10
Solitude-
This song is full of emotions, and it isn't very long at all. Sounds very somber, and gives you the feeling of being alone and reflecting on life.
8/10
Exiled-
More unique vocals from Rob in the verse, and it sounds fantastic. This song was produced thoroughly, and with good results. Beatiful mixed clean and growled syllables in the chorus. Song goes back to Solitude musically for a little while, with added elements. Climaxes well with some fresh new music. Priest is really starting to push this style of music, and I can already see its influence.
10/10
Alone-
Starts so genuinely happy and exciting. It almost makes you want to cry.
It gets heavy with an awesome slow Priest riff. The chorus is great at first but when he screams "Left Alone!" I can't deny the questionable note choice. In other words, it sounds pretty bad, not completely awful(it grows on you). The song continues on, with an awesome rhythmic repeat of the beginning melody and lyrics. Other than the weird note choice for the harmony on "Left Alone!" It's another fresh, vibrant track.
8/10
Shadows in The Flame-
Name sounds like something Shadows Fall would come up with. This one strikes me as something Glenn kind of heard somewhere before and used it because he thought it fit with the emotional side of the album. Fits well with Visions, which I won't review for obvious reasons.
9/10, because it sounds damn good.
Hope-
Hope starts out like wtf, then kind of starts to sound like Lost Love. Really slow and different. No chances of being good on its own, like Peace, but its a good introduction to New Beginnings.
8/10
New Beginnings-
Absolutely gorgeous song, completely unlike anything Priest or any of Rob's bands have done. Does sort of sound like an 80s New Age band or something, but other than that minor reference, its pretty unique.
9/10.
Calm Before The Storm-
Starts out sounding like 2 stoners jamming guitars, but it has some class to it. Sorta.. It then changes completely. It adds a new level of intensity and epicness to Nostradamus, which I won't review. I love it, for its place on the album, but not so great on its own.
7/10
Future Of Mankind-
Wow. Fantastic. Bassline is masterful, drums are totally solid(nice fills at the end), guitars are decisively heavy. The verse is kind of annoying, but the section before chorus gets you nearly ready for the chorus, which is absolutely amazing. The chorus features rob's growled midrange again which is a candidate for best vocal performance of Rob's career. The beautiful harmonies that start nearly halfway into the song are a brilliant musical climax to the entire album.
The Album ends nearly like it began with Dawn Of Creation.
11/10.
Other Thoughts: Man who would have thought Priest would have made such valid musical and conceptual statement. Though some will hear this and not comprehend its greatness, because they won't give it a chance. It doesn't sound like "Priest" to them. I say, what DOES Priest sound like? I say this is it. Nostradamus rules.
I'll give it a bold 9.75/10 overall. Quirks here and there but it is brilliant altogether.

Hey guys,
I met you guys at the Hot Topic signing and heard an advance "leak" of Nostradamus on VH1.com's website yesterday. I have to say the CD is simply incredible! I've listened to it twice and I enjoy the seamless flow of the album and the musical diversity from one song to the next. The classical (?) guitar parts are fucking great and I definitely see where there is something for everyone. I almost feel sorry for those few on the board who are bashing the new CD - it shows their lack of tolerance for new and different things and their immaturity.
Can't wait to see you guys in Philly, Aug. 6th!!!!
[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Thursday, June 12, 2008 3:57:54 AM
Okay, I haven't been a Priest fan for 20 or 30 years like most of you. However, Druzul, creating your own thread to review the CD when there are already threads out there regarding it is wasteful and ridiculous.
Regarding the haters: I think you guys are crazy. Plain and simple. Rob reminds me of the haters who used to frequent the noticeboard and harrassed Jayne when she was on here. The reason that Judas Priest are saying to listen to the CD twice before forming your opinion on it, is simply because there is so much going on in it. Personally, I've listened to it twice now, and I'm super-fucking happy as a pig in mud to hear something so melodious and well-written. Halford's vocals are top notch and the band's music on the CD is more diverse and well-composed.
Rob Ward, you ramble way too much dude. We get that you hate Judas Priest now. So, just do us all a favor and leave.
[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Thursday, June 12, 2008 3:38:32 AM
I fully agree with you Genocide and Healer! I streamed it yesterday morning while at work (hey, it's slow at 4:30 in the am...I can do that) and was impressed with the diversity of songs and the overall quality of the music itself. Despite what people may be expecting, I don't think Judas Priest went in with the idea of making a straight up heavy metal concept album (such as Iced Earth's Something Wicked, Part 1), but with making a concept album that encompasses literally all of their musical knowledge. I absolutely love the classical guitar parts and the way the songs just flow into each other. It's akin to reading a great novel in the way that it flows and everything seems just absolutely seemless. I personally will be going for front row seats for full-blown Nostradamus tour and if they have a VIP Package for that, I'm getting it.
To those of you who don't like the CD or what you've heard so far, sorry to have read that, but to each their own I guess. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Mr. Dave Genocide from Wednesday, June 11, 2008 7:26:04 PM)

But I could use this thread on mygnrforum to rub it in their faces that my favourite band HAS a master plan, and that their Axl Rose hasn't ...the former Guns N' Roses singer who took over the band by seizing the band name one night before the long pre-booked Use Your Illusion tour by saying he won't sing live anymore or record album vocals unless they sign him the name. I don't even understand how they don't realise that all the shit that's come from him since the end of the Use Your Illusion tour till today is all result of his seizure of the name, his band isn't Guns N' Roses at all. Anyways....I wanna sometime give the lobotomised Axl fans a link to this because on mygnrforum I love to sometimes give Judas Priest as a great example of how things really work (Quoting Message by Darth_Painkiller_0870 from Wednesday, June 11, 2008 7:00:54 AM)

Just remember to be true to yourself and not let anyone or anything change you (unless you deem it to be for the best); do your absolute best in school; and get out and see the world at least once. Live your life to the fullest, but do not live beyond your means.
If someone doesn't care for your taste in music, then that's on them. For example, my wife isn't a metalhead by any stretch of the imagination, but she is understanding of my love for the genre, and I'm well-rounded enough musically to enjoy what she listens too. None of my friends are fans of Priest, Testament, Heaven 'N' Hell, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, or Motorhead, but that's OK. My one brother is the only person I know who likes the stuff I listen too. So, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, it shook up some conversations to say the least. Best part was that I used the Painkiller CD. I muted the drums, and blasted the searing whine of Glen's SG.

Ok-I've been a Priest fan for 25+ yrs and when I heard the "Visions" and "Nostradamus" songs I was excited and pre-ordered my copy of the new cd. Now that I've listen to the whole cd I have to honestly say I've never been more disappointed and let down than I feel now. I give JP credit for trying to take on such a ambiscious project but they've gone WAY out of the bounds of HEAVY METAL and basically wrote a lame (exception of about 4 songs) ballad cd. This makes me seriously long to listen to Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime, which is by far heavier all the way through than JP's Nostradamus.
Had I know there would be such a plethora of SLOW songs I wouldn't have spent the money on the cd. I understand the idea of a Nostradamus concept cd but not the need for a "metal opera".....where and how the fuck does metal opera come together?? This is a contradiction in terms. Why couldn't Priest just made a (at the very least) a hard rock concept with rocking songs all the way through VS a big batch of slow boring..zzzzzzzz. songs-with the exception of Persecution, War, Visions, Nostradamus? Priest really needed to take a page out of Queensryche O.M. and attach it to Nostradamus then we would have something!
I am going to the 7/22 Seattle show with Testament in hopes of the OLD Priest songs... If and when they come around with the full Nostradamus show you'll see a lot of empty seats because no one will want to go to a HEAVY METAL show looking to shake their fists and bang their heads only to stand(or sit) through a bunch of slow songs sprinkled with heavy good songs.....
This cd may start out strong on the sales but will quickly fall flat and put back on the shelf while fans grab PAINKILLER!!
I'm sorry to be harsh but I have to be honest.......I'm very disappointed.

Jeanine wrote:
not sure if this has been posted here yet but here it is, I got this from the Q:
The metal gods return with their latest opus, the second featuring the returned Rob Halford. And many traditionalists will be in for a little bit of a shock, for this is Priest's most ambitious album by a long way.
Back in the late 70s and early 80s, no-one on earth could rival Judas Priest for the 3 minute catchy classic metal hit single; this 2CD (running at around 100 minutes), however, is a concept album based around the life and works of the title character. Musically and lyrically it moves on from 'Angel Of Retribution', in depth and intelligence, and features as much power metal and prog metal as their trade-mark trad metal. Never have Judas Priest been so consistent from one album to the next, or throughout one whole album.
The concept itself is fascinating when you go into it in depth, with the man often struggling for personal and professional acceptance as a practitioner of medicine and as foreseer. Losing his first wife and children to the plague all add to a turbulent life.
The band are particularly proud of this, and rightly so. With no promo or advance copies available, I was allowed to listen to this at the Sony offices in Putney, London; just me, the 2 discs and a set of very loud speakers (wouldn't want it any other way really).
There are many intros, with short almost poetic lyrics and soft, acoustic and building guitars. Darker than most is the opening "Dawn Of Creation", which thunderously leads into "Prophecy". Lyrically this is an intro to the whole concept. The guitars nod at late 70s and early 80s Priest, with some mainstream Halford vocals. And what is clear from the start is the emphasis on power over range. While Halford's wide range is utilised, there are not the extremes, so no "Exciter" or "Painkiller" here. Think power and clarity.
"Revelations" is the next main track, a more melodic feel circa 'Ram It Down'. This stands out with the superb guitar solo, and some nicely layered keyboards too. Again, these are provided by Don Airey, with both Tipton and Downing working in some guitar synths as well as their duelling guitar work.
"War", for which there will be a video, is a more thunderous, and by their standards a little slower, a solid marching pace.
The next intro, "Sands Of Time", nods at "Victim Of Changes" before we get the more operatic "Pestilence And Plague", the strings and keys working better than you could ever imagine just by describing it here. Similarly the piano in "Lost Love", as close to a metal ballad as Priest have ever achieved.
Of the 13 tracks on Disc 1, the closer "Persecution", is the kind of Priest a lot of fans will recognise. Fast, furious and an instant classic. Certainly a track I am looking forward to seeing the band play live.
Judas Priest
Disc 2 opens with "Solitude", which leads into "Exiled"; another melodic yet heavy number that sees Rob Halford excel in both range and power. It also shows the rhythm section of bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis providing some excellent work. If anything, this album shows how Travis has really developed, fitting in with the Priest sound completely.
"Visions" and "New Beginnings" are again excellent tracks , the former featuring some chunky riffs, the latter a real lyrical story.
The title track "Nostradamus" highlights the big sound, the big production, and the strength of the song writing. Along with "Persecution", very likely to quickly become a live favourite.
Finally is the 8 minute "Future Of Mankind" which closes the album and concept well.
Throughout the one and only run through, I have to admit to being taking in by it all, almost numbed, it wasn't until afterwards that I realised just how good an album it is.
The band, as a five piece, have come up with 23 fantastic songs with performances and concept to match.
Some may argue it's all rather too ambitious, too dark, a development, but for me a definite success.

I still wouldn't live in either place. Kat hit it right on the nose when she said there is no amount of cash that would convince her to live in a place where you can get sub-zero temps.
Job stability means you've made yourself unreplaceable.
$8/hr - WalMart wages (F-WalMart). No, that's not cowboy mentality dear...that's smart people taking advantage of not-to-smart people.
Iam orig from MN.. I can handle the cold.. Its all the snow Iam sick of dealing with... Cold temps and wind dont bother me.. Its snow for 9 months out of the year.. That Iam sick of.... Iam at a high elevation here.. and we get to much of the white hell..lol In canada where Iam moving the average 36 inches a year of snow.. Not 350 inches.. big difference... And it get very cold here in MT also.. Temps dip to -20 -30 sometimes in the winter.. And then all of a sudden it Rains in January,,...
Believe me.. the weather patterns are changing.. and this state gets all the storms from the pacific northwest.. in the winter..... no-thanks...lol... Many other easons for my move.. Job stability.. wages ect... they pay people out here 8.00 and think they are doing you a favor..lol... Cowboy mentality....

Forgive my ignorance, but if you want to get away from shitty temps and 9 months of snow, wouldn't it be wiser to move south instead of moving closer to the Arctic Circle?

Breaking The Law is the first Priest song I heard, and I saw them during Live Aid in '85. For whatever the reason, I was never really that big of a Priest fan until my metal rebirth a couple of decades later in 2004. Edited at: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 4:05:24 AM

You forget they're going to play at least 2 or 3 tracks off Nostradamus as well. Also, there is a setlist thread in the General Judas Priest Discussion section called "Setlist possibilities are looking great so far".

I like both songs a lot, but I have to say that NOSTRADAMUS is the better song. Let me explain why: It's not exactly your typical Priest song. Singing opera style in the beginning? Keyboard sounds (yes, they've used keyboards in the past, but not this prominently)? And that scream Halford gives near the beginning is better than the one on Judas Rising by far! The song is bigger sounding and fun as hell to listen too!!!!!!!
I agree with the sentiment that it will be fucking killer to hear BOTH songs in the set this summer, along with One Shot At Glory.
I love it!
scary! Were you freaked out at all when you found out about it?
Hopefully Priest plays at least 90 minutes! God knows that's the band everyone is going to the show to see, the rest are just warm-ups!
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG PRIEST' SET WILL BE ON THE U.S. DATES WITH WHITESNAKE AND POPEVIL?I'M AFRAID THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN PLAY 90 MIN NOW WITH THOSE OTHER 2 TURKEYS ON THE BILL.I'VE GOT CLOSE SEATS TO TWO SHOWS AND I'M ONLY REALLY THERE FOR THE HOLY PRIEST!
