Both great bands, but they have a very different sound. Priest are metal and AC/DC are more blues rock. Their roots are in the likes of Chuck Berry etc.
That is a great comment and clearly from the heart. From my point of view I wouldn't want to see Priest without KK. He's been there from the beginning and he and Glenn are responsible for that distinct sound that a hired hand just wouldn't be able to create. I think they will have lost their soul and his absence will be massivly apparent on stage.
It reminds me of when Adrian Smith left Maiden. No Prayer For the Dying and to a lesser extent Fear Of The Dark are weak by Maiden's standards and I think Adrian's departure was almost as significant as Bruce''s and if he hadn't returned when Bruce had, Maiden would not be where they are now.
I would be happier remembering Priest with KK [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Tuesday, April 26, 2011 4:33:16 PM)

Really? But you'd give in if Eddie Van Halen was playing? What does that say about YOU? I am going to the farewell tour to say THANK YOU and goodbye to my favorite band OF ALL TIME! If KK chooses not to be a part of it, then that is HIS choice. Rob, Glenn, Ian and Scott deserve to be recognized for everything they have given the world of music. Don't go to the show, it'll leave more front row seats for the rest of us that want to THANK PRIEST for all they have given us!!

So is this the Farewell Tour or what? Talk of a new album, that probably means a new tour. Rob taking 50%?? LOL this can't be true. KK is probably upset Rob promotes himself so much at the expense of Priest. And I will say right now that anytime any of these guys has strayed from the originals, all that has resulted is a 3rd rate version of Priest. I liked the first Fight album's direction and it should have been a Priest album, even more than Painkiller, which was actually a step backward, writing wise. Demolition I became fond of, just because of its pure tenacity. But these guys should never, ever split, it's like The Jacksons going out with a replacement, can't be done. The only way I would go to see this tour is if they got Eddie Van Halen as a guest. These posts that are giving in to this show a real lack of Priest acumen. Edited at: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 3:30:24 PM
What a terrible terrible shame. This is the guy who founded the band. Strong rumour has it that it was finance related. Rob has allegedly insisted that he took 50 % of the band's income since his return (ego.....) and this caused huge fractions within the group.
I am very very skeptical about it being a health matter. Or if it is, ill helath has been caused by the strife. It must be very very very bitter departure and KK would not take such drastic action lightly. .

It amuses me how people think that if an album sells well, it's good. Shania Twain has sold shedloads, but does it make it good?
Avatar and Titanic broke box office receipts, but I found it hard to keep awake during both of them. Good special effects, yes, but a rubbish script and terrible acting
And look at the TV shows that get a huge audience. In England there is a terrible soap opera called Eastenders. All it is is a bunch ugly inbreds screeching and cawing at each other. And as for Simon Cowell's Britain'got No Talent - God actually WATCH it. Beggars belief.
And look at McDonalds. Repulsive. The burgers are clearly made out of cowshit. But billions of the things are consumed.

Same thing with the Turbo album,many bought the album because of the name Judas Priest,its deceiving.
I find it very interesting that such a "HUGE" Iron Maiden fan that you are,you are still disappointed in the New Album. This shows that your are very particular of how they write thier songs. You are anything but a "fanboy" like Brian Evans,if you were, Maiden could put out anything and you would hail it as "good as anything they have ever done". But obviously your not and you are the kind of "fan" that people should go to that don't know much about Iron Maiden,you could give them some advice on what to buy and what not to buy,this jack off Brian Evans is the worst fan anybody could ask.

It seems the fanboys would wank and fawn over anything Priest released, even if they did a bunch of allah songs calling suicide bombers to a mosque to pray before they blew up some infidels.

Hey Budred. Priest are one of my favourite ever groups, but I have to agree that Nostradamus, with the exception of about 3 songs is utter shit. It's the worst Halford fronted Priest album. I think they realise it sucks as well On the Nostradamus tour they only did 4 songs - or was it 3?
Lets hope Priest see sense (I'm pretty sure they have) and go back to what they do best with their next album - arse kicking, rib crunching heavy metal.
However, this album could be a wonderful way to beat the Taliban ragheads. Blast it over the desert at full volume. They will die of boredom! Then we can bring our troops home [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Thursday, July 01, 2010 4:29:18 AM)

Nostradamus and it was the last time I'll ever see Dio. That, in hindsight, makes me so glad I went. I like the song
"Alone" and a couple of others. The rest of the album could be tossed into a smelt. (A melting process that separates

In many cases, a group's most famous album isn't necessarily their best. In my opinion Iron Maiden did better albums than Number Of The Beast, Motorhead did better albums than Ace Of space and the Beatles certainly released albums superior to Sgt Pepper.
British Steel is by far and away Judas Priest's best known album. But is it their best?
I'm going to be very unoriginal here, because in my opinion it is. British Steel contains so much brilliant material. Yes it is commercial and yes it does contain some more simply structured than much of Priest's other output.
But does that really matter? Rapid Fire, Metal Gods, Grinder, The Rage, Steeler, You don't Have To Be Old and of course the evergreen Breaking The Law and Living After Midnight. The only slight blip is United.
Although the likes of Stained Class (a very close second), Killing Machine and Sad Wings Of Destiny give Steel a close run for their money, for me, British Steel is the Priest album I would save if my house was burning down.
The Golden Girls was very popular in England is is still shown on cable. It was a great show. I didn't realise that Betty White was the only one still alive and she's 88.
Well we can compare albums, because they are performed by the same group and written by the same composers.

They're neither. Both albums have some excellent songs, but also contain average/below part songs. POE is superior to Turbo, but it's nowhere near their best

Nostra is one of the worst Halford fronted Priest albums. Perhaps only Ram It down sucks more.

It almost 2 years since Nostra, so it doesn't look like that will happen. Instead they went with an album released 30 years ago. Says it all doesn't it.

I take it Hellrider is a poster like the one I described. He got on the bus with Painkiller and thinks that is all the band is about. Shame
Painkiller is an outstanding album, especially when you consider how weak, relatively speaking, its predecessor was, but even on Painkiller there are a variety of sounds. Freewheelin Burning is as good an opener on a Priest album that you will ever find, but if the whole album sounded like that, Freewheel Burning wouldn't be nearly as explosive as it is and DOF wouldn't be as great as it is.
Thanks for the piece from Nostradamus, Hellrider, as soon as it ended, I wanted to hear the song that came after it - that's the. sign of a great album. Edited at: Thursday, April 08, 2010 7:08:01 PM
