Very Bizarre for this place to be open again, isn't it? Just shut down for who knows what reason, change nothing, then open up again a year or so later.
So, how ya been? Good to hear from ya.
@ JD. I'll agree on IM having a fantastic string of albums in the beginning years. The first 5 plus I'll stack on Somewhere in Time as well. Those were the days. Think I'll have to give it a llsten in full when the album is released. Don't want to taint the overall experience with just one or two songs, that way I can keep my hopes up.
@ Vail and Guids. Eddie is the coolest band mascot in the history of Music! I have loved him since Killers. They should make a plush toy of him. lol
@ All. Yes, KK's Priest shows further proof of suckage. lol
New Kks Priest song released yesterday "Brothers Of The Road" that is so lame ,instead of describing it you just got to listen to it for yourself yes it's THAT BAD. So far Judas Priest with Ritchie has only one song on studio albums I don't care for,track # 9 on Redeemer Of Souls "Metalizer " and Metalizer is even better than this pile... it's not even B - Side quality it's F.
On a completely different note, Iron Maiden has released thier track "The Writing On The Wall " and it's off thier new album called "Senjutsu" which means tactics and strategy in Japanese. I absolutely like this track but I surely don't expect anyone else to because of how half and half Iron Maiden has been for so many years I get that.
But for me I like the track since they are a progressive band no turning back for them ... I liked The Wicker Man off Brave New World in 2000 when it was released great track great opener but only half the album turned out great . And 2005s A Matter Of Life And Death I like 80% of the album but what makes me not listen to it is I hate the first track iff the album "Different World" ...that first track HAS to be good otherwise it RUINS the entire album.
This new track is placed at # 3 on the album so it's not the opener and is a great fit so far ... I have a weird gut feeling ( I COULD BE WRONG) that this album may be flawless which is a huge statement...I could be wishing too hard here BUT if every track is good on this album it would be the best Iron Maiden album since 1984s Powerslave. So my fingers are crossed. The video for The Writing On The Wall is absolutely AWESOME. There are so many hidden things in it about Eddie etc... . So yeah I'm hoping it'll be great for once.
HA! If it wasn't meant to be some semblance of Judas Priest why would he name it KK'sPriest?? I think he could have come up with a more orginal name if he wanted to divorce his band from Priest, otherwise it just screams "This is what I think Priest should be doing now".
K.K. DOWNING Says KK'S PRIEST Is 'A Continuation' Of The 'Wonderful Music' He Made With JUDAS PRIEST
Here is what he said 2 weeks ago:
K.K. Downing has shot down the suggestion that his new band KK'S PRIEST is another version of JUDAS PRIEST. The founding PRIEST guitarist is joined in KK'S PRIEST by ex-JUDAS PRIEST singer Tim "Ripper" Owens, guitarist A.J. Mills (HOSTILE), bassist Tony Newton (VOODOO SIX) and drummer Sean Elg (DEATHRIDERS, CAGE).
"I don't see it that way," Downing told Bryan Reesmanof Billboard about the comparisons between his new band and the legendary British heavy metal outfit. "We're not a new old band or an old new band.
"This is not a version [of JUDAS PRIEST]. That's where the fans are looking at this wrong.
This guy is senile no wonder Rob Glenn and Ian don't want him back.
HA! Ya know, around here in my neck of the woods I'd be hard pressed to have a conversation about JP with anyone but my daughter and she doesn't live here anymore (all grown up).
They either listen to country, pop, or rap.
Like you say, if they have a comment it's a popular track and no depth to their knowledge. That's ok though, I like my music and they can keep the music from the shallow end of the pool.
Priest's catalog is so vast that for anyone who spends the time to listen, they will always find some music to love. Well,.... maybe not the cow shit kickers.
So I fire back at those idiots and ask them what about tracks like Take These Chains and Rock Hard Ride Free??? And they can not answer. Im sooooo sick and tired of people who know Jack shit about Judas Priest. All these idiots put " yeah man RHRF" yet none of these shit heads even LIKE the fucking song! Firepower may have SOME elements of Painkiller throughout the album but in general NO it sounds NOTHING like Painkiller to me and the album sounds closer to Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith then Painkiller. Fuck these stupid trendy Painkiller ONLY shit fans. Edited at: Thursday, July 1, 2021 1:18:36 PM
I absolutely agree with you J.D., 100%, Certainly not my cuppa tea; just a horrible way for KK to leave retirement.
That's life I suppose, some decisions are awesome and some turn out shit. This is the shitty decision.
@spa guido head banger the video for the title track is so dumb it is borderline embarrassing. These songs sound like a Primal Fear rip off and I hate Primal Fear. What a fucking let down for fuck's sake !
like I said ,when I first saw him announce KK's Priest it was cringe worthy to begin with BUT he had LES BINKS in the band and announced they were working on new material so I thought this MAY be interesting because Les is such a primitive Rock and heavy metal styled drummer and KK ain't going to write Scott Travis styled material with Les on drums so the material might come across like a Hell Bent For Leather style but classic original.
Then POP ....this shit comes out .... no mention of Les not even being in the fucking band at all he just releases Hellfire Thunderbolt and I'm like THAT ain't Les Binks,in fact this material sounds nothing like Les Binks would play .... HOW FUCKING LAME! Can you imagine how many Les Binks fans and old Judas Priest fans were pissed off learning all a sudden he ain't even in the band.
And no way was KK even going to have him play HELLFIRE THUNDERBOLT or any of this crap .... how lame at least KK Could of mention a year ago that Les wouldn't be a part of the album or band ....instead alls the Les Binks fans got was "well Les had an injury so he couldn't do the album "....He should of told the truth and said ..."so I decided to switch styles and go for something he'd never be able to play once his wrist IS HEALED".
And oh.... Les will make a couple appearances and play a couple old Judas Priest songs maybe. Fucking LAME with a capital L!!!!!!!!
Oh no........Not lovin' the new KKsPriest. Not at all. It's almost hurl worthy, that's not a good thing. Sermon for the Sinner? Oh for God sake get the fuck over it! Yes! Sinner is a great song! Yes you played it well!!! BUT it didn't need Ripper to write shitty lyrics to evoke Sinner and then trhow in a cheesy video! I am disapointed to say the least. I feel emptier somehow just knowing that crap is out there.
Thats about the most uneven bagel I've seen. One side is too big for the bagel slice toaster, and the other side looks like a bagel chip. No even toasting there. Vail is right, a strongly worded complaint with this fine phtographic evidence of the crime against you is in order! I see a buy one get one free coupon in your future!
THIS is pissing me off!!! What the crap? Pre-cut bagel? Ok, fine but do it right or not at all!!
Hell, you have to finish the cut anyway so why bother!
Travesty committed against otherwise fine bagels everywhere ...
I tried to teach Lucy to fetch. She would run after the ball, but she was far too selfish to give it back. So, your dog training was a success compared to mine.
HAA! THAT'LL teach you to close the toilet lid! Whose joke was it? "Oh, I just leave the bowl open...ah, that is why the dog is peeing blue?" Uncle Buck!
I was actually trying to teach one of my five to fetch. I got as far as "poke the ball with the nose = get a treat."

I didn't like any of the ones I saw online since they just used to iron on stuff to make it anyway.
Ya know, I forgot to tell you this. The other night, i was playing ball with Jasper and kind of just tossing the ball down the hall as far as I could when it bounced off the wall, through the bathroom door, and then "plink" right into the toilet bowl. HA!!! Good thing it was a rubber ball, easy to clean up.

With you about that design, Vail. There are better ones to be had on eBay and such. Still, nothing I feel like shelling out so much $ to have. I can always tie a Priest bandana around me.

Yes, yes, yes, your right. Alien Resurrection was really good. i didn't like 3 too well because, well ..everyone died.
Speaking of dying; I am just dying to get a bowling league together and head to GA. Nope. Public place, public shoes, public balls, not to mention the "hand dryer" that probably blows god knows what alll over your hands............what could possibly go wrong?
HB, nothing says work from home quite like taking a dump during a zoom meeting. LOL Now go throw out those VHS tapes.
Oh, I am beginning to LOATHE Zoom!!! Gawd. Amazing how people can be as irritating there as they are in "real-life" meetings! HAAAA! In groups? I just put on my mute...occupy myself with looking at the backgrounds of people there...heh.. ANYTHING to pass the time.
Alien! Great! AlienS (it wasn't called "Aliens 2"), Aliens 3. Great too! Ya know? I liked Alien Resurrection that I caught on TV a while ago and ended up renting it...back when you could find a place to rent movies / dvds. Got 'em all. Even the last one. What was it? One with the dude singing about TN? Covenant! Might have to watch THAT one again.
So, who is up for going bowling in Atlanta? How 'bout we all get tattoos there afterwards?? To commemorate COVID-19!!

Ah, so you watched Alien. Good movie. In my opinion while Alien is of course great and without one there is no two, but Aliens the second movie is the best. Sigoury kicks serious ass! Lots more action than Alien 1. I think I might get that out and watch it today.

Ah, well. There's always the....20 movies or so that I recorded on my DVR. I watched Alien last night, for example. First time. Awesome!!!

Hey HB! Good to see you. Good luck eagle spoting at the cabin. I get excited just like a kid when I see them flying along the creek. Last year was the first time I spoted them down here so I was glad to see them come back.
good to see you all again. HB here, giving you your Alberta report
no curfew here. I am still working, going to the office, where nothing is as it was, but what can you do....
Spa, glad to hear your eagles are back. I am going to head off this weekend to see if the eagles at my brothers cabin are still there. not really supposed to go, but shhhh. I doubt the health authorities monitor this page
"Liberate Podunk! Dont' tread on me! I have the right to infect others with The Corona if I want to!" What fuckin' idiots.
People like that make you wish they did believe the liar and chief and consider ingestion of bleach, idiocy at some point, should become a crime.
Not EXACTLY here but the county seat. 10-15 minutes away, IOW. Don't know why, exactly. Hell, the Walmart is closer to me and, if I don't need to renew my driver's license or be called up for jury duty (last time I was there, actually...$11 day! Opá! LOL...SO glad I didn't get called), there is no reason to go there anyway!
Sure! Curfew! LOL...now that I think about it, I wonder if anyone went to the courthouse demanding to "Liberate Podunk!"

Another one gone from us this year. Carriel portrayed a powerful young woman when all women were still seen as in need of being rescued.
All our people we grew up with. Far to young.
You right JD. Does give someone pause to think that if you don't embrace life now and really participate, you could just be gone any moment now. We've all lived to an age that any thought of being long lived simply because your just sure you will be is just not enough.
I think Hillary would have been the wise choice though. Smarter, more capable, not one to launch missles over a bad Tweet. I would have much prefered Madam President. Virginia made the right choice. You live in one of those depressed states that will always vote Reblican even though they never get anything they are promissed. WV is the same way. and KY for that matter. Promise KY and WV more mining and you have them. Only problem is, mining has been dying for years if they really wanted to help Appalachia they would finish the Coal Highway so new industry might stand a chance to move in to that area and benefit from the good peole there who only want to work for a living, just like the rust belt.
Oh well. all gone in a handbasket straignt to...
As I've said via PM to many, we were given a la' South Park - Giant Douche vs. Shit Sandwich. YOU choose.
Luckily, I live in a "nonsense" state that would be red no matter what..didn't count. Notice that none in the "rust belt" were protesting last night?" Nobody who lost their jobs in the outsourcing in Detroit? What I saw last night was a bunch of white, young folks in high-income people bitching. Am I happy? No. Wouldn't have been happy either way. Our political system sucks!
I am still weighing NZ vs Canada.

Yeh, she might change her mind along the way but she's always been one to like a plan to go on.
Oh, I forgot to tell you! She tested out any additional Spanish courses. I guess four years in high shool paid off. She can read it well she just doesn't speak it very fast. She was toying with taking Greek classes for the fun of it. Opa!
Biology major with plans to attend Med. school when she finish's her degree. Fingers crossed.
About her leaving. Don't get me wrong. I did cry when she moved. But then, I found I could clean things and they didn't get messed up within hours. Didn't know that could happen. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Sunday, September 04, 2016 11:44:14 AM)

I look forward to the new release as well. Priest have never done two albums exactly the same. I guess SFV and DTOF would be as close to same as they ever got and I love both of them for their differences. Sort of the Forest Gump theory: Like a box of chocolates, in a good way.
