[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Wednesday, May 11, 2011 7:00:54 AM

With this being a Priest site, I have found most Maiden fans can't stand Priest but Saxon are more like Priest than Maiden in their sound, that's why most people will prefer Saxon here.

All I can say is who can blame them? HAHA Saxon kick more ass, they're harder hitters their music is powerful and the riffs are heavier than Hell. I honestly think that's what Maiden lack, they're classed as heavy metal and yet the riffs let's face it just aren't heavy.

If only Saxon hadn't flopped in the 80's they'd be up their with Priest and Maiden now doing larger shows. But one thing is certain the music they are playing now certainly fulfills my metal needs.

This is really shit news I aint gonna lie it has put a downing on my week! Seriously though, yeah it really is shit and no one can replace him but we really don't know the situation yet.

But the way I look at it is, you have 4 of the 5 definitive members left, did Megadeth lose all there fans when everybody but Dave Mustain was different? No they didn't, even Guns 'n' roses still have fans.

Priest have Halford, Tipton, Hill, Travis and now Faulkner I say give him a chance he might breathe some life into Priest as they have lacked that recently.

Oh come now, this is ridiculous, we are all here to share our love for a particular genre of music, that is heavy metal. Priest is that Heavy Metal and we shouldn't be arguing because it is pathetic. Although Jimmy I always notice you displaying negative or sarcastic comments on this site, I still think it is stupid to fall out with strangers on the internet about music.

TOPIC: The song you believe truly symbolises Judas Priest

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Tuesday, February 01, 2011 7:23:45 AM

I think I may be alone in my opinion here but HEAVY DUTY/ DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH. What a tune and the lyrics are everything a metalhead stands for. Absolutely awesome stuff.

TOPIC: NOSTRADAMUS EVERYDAY!

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Monday, January 31, 2011 8:15:34 AM

Nostradamus had a strange effect on me.

When I first heard the title track on myspace before its release I felt a rush I'd never experienced from any Priest song and that's the truth I thought it was so powerful and this made me want the album more than anything. Then I heard Visions and I liked that immediately too but still thought Nostradamus was the better track.

Then I went to Download and saw them there where they played Prophecy and Death. I thought Prophecy was a brilliant opener, so heavy with an excellent drum groove and despite naysayers, the lyrics work really well. Death I did like it although I thought it was a bit long but loved the bit in the middle where it turns heavy and I really liked the darkness of the chorus.

Then I returned to see Nostradamus on my doorstep. I stuck it in and let it play from start to finish. At first I was disappointed mainly because I was expecting every song to be as heavy as the title and opening tracks and some of the songs I didn't connect with.

But I listened and listened and the songs started to grow on me little by little and it became my most listened to Priest album and I don't know why. It was strange I would put it in knowing it wasn't my favourite album but I did it anyway and now I absolutely love it. I think if Scott had had that space to be more creative, this album could have been way better as the drums in many songs were pretty straight forward and not very exciting although his use of space is outstanding especially in the track, 'Alone'.

It's a weird balance of good and bad I think and this is me being honest with this album. I think pros go to: Halford's voice, Glenn and KK's soloing and the use of effects and synth to create something unique. Unfortunately I think the drumming lets it down though that is no fault of Scott, he just didn't have a lot to work with.

Some of the riffs I think are magnificent and the best go to, Prophecy, Nostramdamus, Death (middle section and chorus), Persecution and Future of Mankind. But some are just more straight forward progressions.

I think overall it is a good album with some great tracks and average tracks maybe more of the latter. But I still pop it in and skip to the ones I think are true Priest classics.

TOPIC: priests worst album

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Monday, January 31, 2011 7:40:31 AM

I don't think I can specify which is a worst album for me, all of them have good and average songs on them. I think the question should be which is your least listened to Priest album. In that case I would say: Sad Wings of Destiny. I know it is an iconic metal album that was way ahead of it's time but it is the album I listen to the least. Victim of Changes is one of my favourite Priest songs without a doubt and if I want to hear Genocide at it's best I stick in Unleashed in the East, that version of that song smashes you in the face. So yeah there you go.

TOPIC: Most beautiful Judas Priest ballad?

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Monday, January 31, 2011 7:32:42 AM

Ah there are a few that I absolutely love but 'beautiful' ballads would have to be 'Angel', 'Last Rose of Summer' or 'Turn on your Light'.

TOPIC: Maiden or Saxon ...Metal Showdown

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Friday, January 28, 2011 8:49:18 AM

Is Heavy Metal even original anymore? Classic metal bands can't put out an original album anymore because when people demand Heavy Metal they need to stick to the same formulas that they have used a dozen times. Nostradamus was original but wasn't a Heavy Metal album lol I for one demand riffs like this, does exactly what it says on the tin.

TOPIC: judas priest working on new material!!!!

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Friday, January 28, 2011 7:44:50 AM

Yeah with Nostradamus it's not an album I can slap on and listen to all of the way through even though that is how I first listened to it because I was told that is how it should be listened to.

Now if I put it on I skip the preludes and some main tracks unless it's the couple I really really like and there are some.

The tracks I listen to always: Dawn of Creation/ Prophecy (together it has to be done), Revelations, Death, Pestilence and Plague, Peace/ Conquest, Persecution, Solitude, Alone, Visions, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind.

For me that would have done it, that would have passed as a good solid metal album to me as they are pretty strong tracks in my eyes.

I'm surprised that Future of Mankind is so overlooked by people it's a really underated track with some really heavy riffs and a perfectly written chorus even on Rob's standards it breaks the mould.

But anyways on topic now, to me this is the best news in the world the thought of Priest writing another fantastic heavy metal album is all the motivation I need. I would even settle for something along the lines of Angel of Retribution because to me that was a cracking album. Not one bad song on it not even Loch-Ness I bloody love that song, so heavy.

So yeah all they need to do is up their game again and restore freedom to Scott Travis's phenominal drumming because the drummng on Painkiller and especially Jugulator was jaw dropping and on Nostradamus it was too basic for my liking. Edited at: Friday, January 28, 2011 7:45:07 AM

Yeah I never got into Maiden whereas I'm absolutely loving Saxon, what you see is what you get with them, balls to the wall heavy metal.

Unleash the Beast, Metal Head, Killing Ground, Lion Heart, Inner Sanctum and Into the Labyrinth are absolutely killer metal albums, they just haven't lost their edge with age at all.

For those who want a proper British Heavy Metal riff listen to this it's one of the best you'll hear.

Ah Hellrider my friend why can't there be more Priest fans like you? I want them to make another album, it's the thing I want more than anything I want to feel the same as I did when I first heard Nostradamus (song) up on myspace. When I listened I nearly died, one of the best feelings I ever got from listening to any song ever. I just hope you're right mate I really think there is very little chance of Priest putting out another album but as long as you have faith, I do too man!

I too second what J.D is asking of you. I know it must be a monumental task, but please, please give us just one more album. Judas Priest the band, the music, everything it stands for means the world to me.

I have been a fan for about 8 years now and you're the only band I have truly supported and loved my whole life. If you can find it in your hearts to write us another classic heavy metal album, we in the metal community will be eternally grateful.

I don't think I've ever wanted something more than what I am asking you as a band right now and I know there are people everywhere now clinging on to a glimmer of hope that you will produce this last metal masterpiece for us.

Please Priest give us one more metal monster of an album. We can wait just please create it.

Your loyal and devoted fan, JT

TOPIC: Next Priest Studio Album

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Friday, December 24, 2010 4:22:51 AM

Yeah I hate to say it but Priest won't be making another album which to me is the biggest disappointment ever. They will be making another live DVD and CD (K.K. confirms this on his website in the questions for K.K. section) however I very much doubt there will be another studio album cause he leaves this out of his answer to one of his fans questions.

Here it is:

Hello "The Metal Gods Of Earth",I am a 30 year plus fan of Judas Priest, and the band, and Metal in general. I am now 43, and unemployed/laid off right now from my industrial sales career but I still come up with ideas or new concepts to help people, or myself cope with my unfortunate time off right now.
Iron Maiden, is also one of my very favourite metal bands as well.
As you know a lot of bands are touring together as a type of "reunion tour" of great bands from the seventies, eighties and nineties and today.

I came up with an idea overnight that I think could be a real money maker for you and your metal band. I believe metal fans all over the world, in general would love this concept below.

New 2011 Concert Tour/New 2011Album/DVD Concept:

Album Cover: Eddy, of Iron Maiden wearing a formal priest outfit, with a halo above his head, sitting behind an holy alter, in a old cathedral. Please use the current artist you used from the past. Album Colors: Black/Silver/Gold/Mid-night Blue/White glowing halo/collar/background stars.

Album/DVD Content: Top ten songs of both bands "LIVE"

Concert Concept: Both groups tour together performing each others songs, and performing songs together on a world tour and record these performances for the new live concept album.

Thanks for being a part in my life with your great music. Please feel free to contact me on this concept. Please give me your thoughts on this concept I came up with overnight.

Very Sincerely, Richard Harris II

K.K's response:ac

Hi Richard. I am sure some of your ideas would certainly wet the appetite of many fans. If nothing else I am sure that you will have a kick ass Priest tour next year with all of the trimmings, DVD etc. so hope to see you then.

TOPIC: Farewell Priest

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Tuesday, December 21, 2010 7:21:14 AM

I would love to see any of the following songs performed live, I've chosen ones that they rarely or never play:

Cheater
One for the Road
Never Satisfied
Let us Prey/ Call for the Priest
Starbreaker
White Heat Red Hot
Stained Class (sounded awesome on Halford's Live Insurrection)
Delivering the Goods
Killing Machine
Burning up
Solar Angels
Fever
Bloodstone
Some Heads are Gonna Roll
When the Night Comes Down
Heavy Duty/ Defenders of the Faith
Locked In
Out in the Cold
Reckless (the Turbo ones are good songs no matter what anyone says)
Ram it Down
Hard as Iron
Love you to Death
Blood red Skies
Leather Rebel
One shot at Glory
Bullet Train
Bloodstained
Subterfuge
Cyberface
Metal Messiah
Demonizer
Loch-ness (I love it)
Persecution
Alone
Nostradamus

I would obviously love to see the classics but if they worked any of these into their set, I would be very happy indeed.

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Wednesday, December 15, 2010 7:12:37 AM

I don't blame any fan for being angry I must say, I am let down tremendously I agree with everything you say JD. I love Nostradamus but come on people Priest are heavy metal, we should be getting the gut wrenching riffs with rip roaring double bass drumming and screaming vocals. The stuff that got us hooked on Priest to start with. What really pisses me off is when things like this crop up: http://guitarinternational.com/wpmu/2010/12/01/rob-halford-it%E2%80%99s-all-about-being-fearless/ (for some reason my mac won't let me add hyperlinks) Halford is asked a direct question about a 'next Priest album' and all we get is more ambiguity in the response. There is a hint that another album could be on the cards but never certain. Why can't they tell their suffering fans the truth? Seriously. I got straight on to kkdowning.net (steel mill) and asked him a direct question about Priest and if they are splitting up for good or just finishing touring, as of yet no response and I can guess there won't be one. I've also read interesting things about Jayne Andrews and I'm starting to agree maybe she is making some utterly terrible and very selfish career choices on behalf of Priest and their fans. GIVE US 1 MORE CRACKING METAL ALBUM FOR FUCK'S SAKE, THAT IS ALL I ASK! These guys are my idols and I look up to them dearly I just wish they would read these responses and respond to us.

No offense but this is one of the stupidest thing I've ever read on this forum. Scott is one of the best things that happened to Priest. The thing is Rob has a good way of tip toeing round things. He still hasn't said the band is splitting up. He never gives a definite answer like 'yes the band are splitting and there will be no more music or touring'. 'All good things come to an end' but this is still a miscellaneous response, he could simply be talking about touring, who knows. I do now question the validity of that article on Rock AAA though.

Why you gaved us this news already,why such suddently and why now on Christmas??? Please do some to change your minds and not dessapear at all yet,the old fans will miss you,the new ones still need you,so please don’t do that cause to live without you is almost impossible and to replace you with others,is really impossible. Without you,Judas Priest,or without Halford and Fight,died a half of my heart,and when Rob will not be anymore,will die all my heart entirely. Also,any you decided or any you will re-decide in time… I love you and I will always love you my soul band!!! 1.Why that news already,why such suddently and why now on Christmas? For me and for most many fans,this news is the most sadly news I ever heard related to my soul band ,and the most sadly thing is that is not just a rumour but is a true thing as far as these news already appears in your official site ,and on My space and Facebook too,etc. I admit that I knew that news will come one day,cause is some normal at your age and after more than 30 years of musical carrer,in which the music was for your only reason to live,your only way to offer your fans all what they need from albums to live shows,things from the reason which the roads were your only homes,which always separated you by close people, parents,families,and friends,so for all these,was to expect as you to stop your live activity,but I admit I never though that news will come so soon,and so suddenly,and in special now on Christmas without to prepare us the fans from time,that way maked me to wonder if there out is other reason for which you stopped your live activity now or if this way to do the things is just a tipicaly british way. I also hope that with the help of your fan support,to change your minds in time and to still continue to enjoy us with your live activity,at least 2 or 3 years from now,that even if your activity will not be such full like until now,meaning with such many shows per year,how was until now from 2 in 2 days ,or 3 in 3 days,will be ok just some shows per year,and even if a show will not during so much,how was until now with shows for 2 hours or 1 hour,will be ok just a show of some 25-30 minutes,just to see you,but if also you will not change your minds,I hope that you will continue at least with your studio activity,even I always image that you will put all Nostradamus album on stage,like a oper,how is The Wall of Roger Water,from the legendary Pink Floyd(my favorite opera),so hope you will enjoy us the fans at least with new albums and maybe some Dvd-s with some of your old images from your carrer,and maybe with a authentical book about your entire music history,and why not with some contests to fans, from which you will can give the fans the chance to win autographs from you,or some musical gifts from you,such as posters,or magazines,like souvenirs,any,just to know that you are still there,and alive. 2.Why with that news you bring just the most knows countries in Europe? For me and for the most many fans,the news of the presentation of just these countries in your list, is also one of the most sadly,cause in this way exist the possibility like any of us to see you last time,or other first time,but worst,other at all ever. I admit that I knew that my country will not be in the first list of your countries,cause you discovered us so late,and you came to us just ones and almost over your 30 years of carrer,but I admit I never though that show you gaved us Romanians,in 2008,on 11 july,in Bucharest,at Best Fest Aftershock,will be the last but also I am thanksfully to God cause he gaved me the inspiration to go there to your show and the power to do all that sacrificies to arrive at your show,such as to throught out my last job for you,to rent money for travel,and car,etc and now to no have any regret for what I done then,cause you gaved the honour to come to us,and to bring us 2 hours of unique show,in which you enjoy us with your voice and your instrumental abilites,with your beautiful songs,and your cool stage changes,but first with your simple way to be,to speak with us,to treat us and to get down to us the fans from your celebrity status,like we was equals. I also hope that you will include my country in your actual Europe list too,otherwise,for me ,and for many other fans,will be almost impossible to attend,and for me will definetly be,cause even if it’s a shame,but still living in a poor country with a hard history which was about more than 50 years of communism and humility and restrictions for us,the humanity,and from which we didn’t recover yet even if we are a liberal country now,but also still with bad leading system,bad laws and bad economy where the most small salary ,is the most small from UE,and is about 150-200euros/mouth,and also being without my own family,meaning without husband and kids to support me,without a job actually and without the chance to get one now with this crisis,and still living with my parents,with a sick mother and a unemployed father,and an very old grandmother about almost 90 years old,so living just from their small contribution from state,money from which we must to save mounthy,for food,for utilities,for owns in bank,for medications,etc will be almost impossible to save some to attend to these countries of the tour,with all the travels taxes and the ticket,and if you will not introduce other countries in Europe,than mines,etc to can see you,then when you will introduce the other parts of your 2011 tour which probably will be one for USA,and one for Japan,well,definnetly for me,will be really impossible to attend,and all these are not a complain but a reality in which I think most many fans are,but I still hope you will try to introduce my country in your tour list,and other countries too,where you wasn’t ever or where you have owns. 3.Why with that news you forced us to do our inventary already? For me and for the most many fans that news,put us to do our inventory related to our memories with you which we accumulate until now,such as how many of your music we bought,how many of your live shows we saw,etc. I admit I knew that doing my own inventory I will be very very sad cause I discovered you such late,just now 4 years ago, and I didn’t succed to have all your original music long time,but I am proud today I already have this entirely,and because I discovered you so late,I neither succed to attend to many of your shows,but I am proud that I attend to your first show in my country,and finnaly because I discovered you so late, I didn’t’ succed to meet Rob Halford,personally,to salute him,to do a photo with him,and take an autograph,but I am proud that I got one from Scott Travis,and because I discovered you so late I didn’t get the chance to fight for arriving to collaborate with you,or work for you.,but also,even if I discovered you so late,also I am very proud that I was one of your lucky fans which got the honour to keep a short corespondence with Miss.Jayne ,your manager,with mr.Mark ,your art editor,and with Mr.Murray,your webmaster,people which passed my correspondence to the band and to Rob,and more than this,I am proud that I dedicated all my net pages to the band,and to Rob,and I will continue to fight for your induction and Rob into Rock Roll Hall of Fame and for bring you a star on Walk of Fame,and maybe a petition for your returning. I also hope,even if you will retry,that you Halford band with still continue your live activity at least another some years,and will enjoy us with your tours,your new albums,and Dvd-es,and maybe a book,and maybe you will thing to come to Romania too,even in my city Arad,at our Rock on Mures festival,where I hope I will finnaly can meet you Rob Halford,salute you,do a photo with you,take and autograpg from you,and who knows,maybe to talk about a collaboration or work for you,all these before I will give you my sorries for what I said and I done related to you. Conclusion: I still cant' belive this news,but unfortunately is a true news! But you Judas Priest shouldn’t gaved us this news already,and not such suddenly and not now on Christmas! Please do some,to change your minds and not desspear at all yet,the old fans will miss you,the new ones still need you,so please don’t do that cause to live without you is almost impossible and to replace with others,is really impossible. Without you,Judas Priest,or without Halford and Fight,died a half of my heart,and when Rob will not be anymore,will die all my heart entirely. Also,any you decided or any you will re-decide in time… I love you and I will always love you my soul band!!! Gloria Romana Suciu-The Queen of Metal God-Rob Halford

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Friday, August 27, 2010 3:31:20 AM

Yo everyone well morale seems low in the Priest camp at the minute and I have been frustrated lately with the lack of news etc. However I have just been browsing Halfords new site, he has a new album on the way and he has 2 singles. One is called made of Metal and the other 'The Mower'. I just listened to the latter, if you haven't already heard it here you go feast your ears on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhy3sU0arGw

Yeah it might be a lot heavier than what Priest usually is but my God I nearly shit myself when I heard this. Halford's voice is incredible I don't know what he has been doing but he is back on form.

His latest tour he sang Resurrection here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Tx5axusxM

I can spy Painkiller back in the set when Priest hit the road again cause bloody Hell his voice is better than it was last year without a shadow of a doubt. If he can pull of Resurrection surely he can pull off Painkiller.

I hope this raises spirits somewhat and J.D, Hellrider (thanks for keeping the faith) I hope this satisfies your metal hunger for now \m/

I certainly have to agree with this, i thought i was a die hard fan until i came across hellrider. Always keeping the metal spirit alive that's what we need! You know one of the biggest rushes in the world was when i was on myspace looking through the band spaces and i came across Priests and i saw they had a totally new track online, what's this? Nostradamus? First of all after picking myself up off the floor from sheer disbelief i listened with eager intent and my God i was impressed i almost died when the main riff came in with Scott's double bass and Halfords Godly scream. That is what listening to the Priest is all about and if they can even write 3 tracks like that on the new album that invoke that reaction in me then i will be happy. I know they can do it, Hellrider knows they can do it, J.D knows but is finding it hard and i guess i can see that too. I'm holding out that they can do it and i can't wait for when they decide to. Right now i'm fed up that there hasn't been any proper news on the band in months they can't just be doing nothing!

Halford is my idol, Priest are my Gods, whether or not the next album is heavy as fuck, they will continue to be forever the Metal Gods in my eyes, they have a gift and that gift has always been for good in my opinion, Halford as everyone knows on this forum is the greatest metal singer of all time. It's about time that people give him the credit he really deserves for his song writing as he is the one and only metal god. You have all of the classics, you have the new stuff, let us push into the future as heavy metal maniacs should!. Go Halford, rip our fucking faces off!

AOR is not a weak album and i won't say that's opinion i would say that is fact. If it's not what you were expecting and for that reason you don't like it then fair enough i can accept that but it's not weak at all. If it had been released after Defenders, everyone would have been like, WOAH AWESOME! But because it follows Painkiller, it can't possibly live up to old Priest standards even though Painkiller is considered better than anything in their entire catalogue by many. Don't you see, Priest can't really churn out what they used to do beacause in todays market unfortunately, it wouldn't survive. Metal has reached new heights and as a result the bands have suffered, they will still receive a massive reception live but that's because people respect them for the hits that they had back in the day.

When bands like Sabbath, Priest, Motorhead, Saxon AC/DC, Deep Purple etc release an album now, they aren't going to get the same reaction that they got back in their high days of glory, it doesn't work like that. Plus Priest did try to go back to classic heavy such as Defenders with Ram it Down and as much as i think it worked, many were very disapointed and that's because the world had moved on and wasn't wanting it anymore. Painkiller was so successful because it showed a classic band that could be as heavy and aggressive as any thrash or metal band of the time.

AOR is a hybrid album resulting from fans demanding classic Priest and Heavy Priest. That's exactly what Priest gave but that just leaves the fans that want something different, enter Nostradamus. They covered everyone within those 2 albums and yet there are still disapointed fans. AOR is a modern metal masterpiece and i would say it is easily one of their best. Painkiller beats it on heavyness, but AOR beats Painkiller musically by far. When Priest write songs with layers, it works. When they right songs that are just heavy, it works but i know which one i prefer, even for a heavy metal band. That is why i love AOR and i would happily accept another album of the same standard if not better from them.

TOPIC: HALFORD 3 Winter Songs

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Thursday, November 26, 2009 8:00:42 AM

Well now Defenders is a great album it is exactly what it was supposed to be, Screaming for Vengeance part 2. The only two albums that sound remotely like each othre in the entire Priest catalogue. The first half of Defenders is a fast album i reckon. Now then as for AOR - what an album, every song a hit it is a modern day Screaming for Vengeance and i loe that, everything about the album rocks, the drumming some of Travis's best, just behind Jugulator and believe it or not because i'm a drummer it is the thing i look forward to most from a new Priest album (needless to say this is what let Nostradamus down a lot). Halfords vocals, Angel provides his best singing voice by far and Demonizer his best screams. Guitar - some of the best solos ever by KK and Glenn especially Demonizer and Hellrider. How many solos have you heard as melodic and as well written as those in a seriously heavy metal song? The bass work from Ian is solid and in places very creative, he shines on Revolution and even Worth Fighting For (as simple as it is) hits home real hard. Loch Ness might not be to everyones liking but i think the band as a whole shine on that song and it is a true cheesy epic metal masterpiece.

The production of the album is what did it most for me though, everything was as sharp as a razor, if music could cut your skin then AOR would take your head off in an instant.

Here is what i want.. no what i demand from the boys,

Travis, take us back to albums like Painkiller and Jugulator, fantastic hand-feet coordinated fills, give us more drum intros like Painkiller and Machine Man, more double bass rolls and bursts like Phallic Tractor and Scarified.

Ian, take us back to Sad wings and Sin after Sin, and combine those beautiful melodies with raw and agressive fills from Jugulator and Demolition.

Glenn, melodic solos aplenty like Demonizer and Beyond the Realms of Death and aggresive duos with KK.
KK, experimental solos such as Sinner and Victim of Changes. Plus agressive duos with Glenn.
As for riffs make them hard and heavy with pure raw energy, Demonizer, Devils Child, Heavy Duty you know the ones i mean

Rob, well i have to say, he always delivers the goods no matter what and i don't need to ask anything of him as he knows what people want.

WE WANT A SURGING RUSH OF POWER, WE WANT TO FEEL OUR FACES RIPPED OFF WITH SHEER FORCE AND ANGER, WE WANT HEAVY METAL, WE WANT THE PRIEST!!!!!!! PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST, PRIEST!

WHO'S WITH ME????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Defenders is heavy in a different way. its not as fast by and large, and the drums are less intense, its more guitar focused with the bass backing, rather than the drums being more fore front on AOR. I think these are my 2 fave studio albums, but they are quite different. to me both have more range than painkiller, which is good but kinda one dimensional.

Yeah I see.But we all have opinions,and I just can't hear anything on Defenders that is heavier than Demonizer and Hellrider and Judas Rising,even Wheels Of Fire. The "drums" blow away Defenders as Defenders drums sound like a soft drum machine to me,and even though I love the songs,to me they just don't seem as heavy to me as the core of Retribution,but I see your point man.

I think Angel Of Retribution has enough power. To be honest hellrider,I think Defenders Of The Faith is "softer" than Angel Of Retribution.Its not a bad thing,its my opinion.But if Angel Of Retribution lacks power in your opinion,Defenders Of The Faith must really lack power and so must Hell Bent For Leather no? I read an article that Angel of Retribution was supposed to purposely "not achieve" a Painkiller sound and production. They wanted to achieve a Screaming For Vengeance /Defenders Of The Faith sound and production and thats exactly what Angel of Retribution is to me its an album that belongs with the class of Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith. Out of the 3 albums I like Screaming For Vengeance the best but I like Angel Of Retribtion better than I like Defenders Of The Faith,I have ever since Retribution came out,I understand your cravings for "power" like the Painkiller,but I thought that they achieved what they were trying to do with it,10 songs and the only one that sucked was the last one(Lochness)lol!!!

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

Yeah Hellrider what we are seeing here is our favorite band has been getting soft on us all the way around. 5 long years have passed since Angel of Retribution and all that there is to show for is Nostradamus and Winter Songs. Who knows what kind of mood the band members are in at the time they write the next album? Getting a killer british metal album from these guys is not a "shoe in" at all as we all know,the next LP may turn out like Ram It Down for all we know.But this is what 95% of members on this forum like isn't it? The all like the fact that they never know what they will get from Judas Priest...could be a Painkiller,could be a Turbo,could be a British Steel,could be a cross between Nostradamus and Winter Songs...thats what almost everybody likes here is the fact that they can't count on one particular style.

Honestly if you want a taster first listen to 'Into the Pit', 'Contortion', the title track or from the 2nd Fight album the title track 'small deadly space' but not the remastered version as they spoilt it by changing the riff listen to the original it's my favourite Fight song ever.

If you read the post properly i was just saying that Turbo had all of the commercial aspects of British Steel i didn't compare the album to Turbo in terms of music style as i have clearly stated it is not a metal album. And lets be honest although Turbo might seem like a commercial album and it is radio friendly i doubt that it received any airtime at all and nowhere near as much as British Steel with Breaking the Law and Living after Midnight. I'm starting to detect that you listen to nothing more than metal J.D? You know i would say i had a gift when starting to listen to Priest, Demolition had just come out. But i bought Living after Midnight (the greatest hits) first and i got a great feel of what Priest were all about. I appreciated every track on the CD and went out and bought the albums one afte the other. I grew to love them all. I also bought The Ripper era albums quite early and got into his music with Priest too and as a result i grew to love both vocalists approach to metal and the music with Priest. I guess i can thank my lucky stars that i wasn't buying the albums in order otherwise i might have ended up a frustrated and disapointed fan like J.D here. Ah well i might be of the minority and like the majority of Priests catalogue but i aint a fanboy either as i will admit that i think turbo Lover is not a great song nor is the second half of Turbo (not keen on Rocka Rolla although i love Cheater, One for the Road and Caviar and Meths. Most of POE doesn't get a listen but i that album has some true greats on it without a doubt. I hardly ever listen to Sad Wings of Destiny even though i understand its importance to metal music and Victim of Changes is a masterpiece (one of the greatest songs they have ever written if not the greatest) and i'll admit even some of Nostradamus strikes me as not great but i like most of the album. Demolition has some subpar tracks on it but i love some of it. In fact every album has songs that i don't like and rarely they have an album where i like every song but it happens, (Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Painkiller, Angel of Retribution, Jugulator, British Steel, Killing Machine, Stained Class) all amazing albums from start to finish.

JT I was there when British Steel came out and was a fan of British Steel I was 10 years old and my cousin told me to listen to it because I was such a huge Kiss fan in 1980 and when I heard British Steel I was blown away to say the least,in 1980 an album like British Steel "blew you away" because there was nothing like it back then. I MUST say that "TURBO" was anything but a "British Steel"!!!! So I am definately disagreeing with you as Turbo was NOT another "British Steel" 6 years later(not 7). I can't for the life of me figure out why you said it,and most importantly I can't understand "how" you could compare British Steel with Turbo...because of an uplifting tracks as Living After Midnight or Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise? LOL!! Sorry but those 2 tracks are uplifting and radio friendly songs and are commercial but are nowhere near the commercial aspects of the Turbo album. (YUK)!!!

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Tuesday, November 03, 2009 7:31:08 AM

Just for once though J.D i would like the topic of conversation to change. Going on and on about Nostradamus won't change anything it's done and dusted now and as for Winter songs, i won't be expressing my view on it in this forum anymore as i feel i have done it enough. If we could get back into the spirit (no pun intended lol) of Defending the Faith then that would be great. Hellrider and a few others (including myself) are the only ones doing that right now whereas others might aswell be saying, 'the next album Priest release will be shit', that doesn't sound like the optimism or comment of Priest fans that i know. I'm actually growing tired of seeing their 'loyal fans' turn against them in their most difficult time cause soon all classic metal bands will be finished (lets be honest). Fair enough you don't like the new music you've expressed your point and that's fine but going on and on isn't going to make things better. Can we not get back to looking to the future and being optimistic that Priest will release some good old British Steel yet again hmmm? Am i asking too much everyone? Am i the only one who thinks this way or what? I love this band and i don't want to see their fans tear them apart.

(I know you're a frustrated metalhead J.D lol so don't take this as a personal attack cause it isn't)

Why are people going on and on about Nostradamus for? It's in the past. And this isn't a Priest effort, Priest and Halford are completely different. A Christmas release has been on the cards for many solo singers of all genres Jazz, Rock, Swing, Pop. Now it's metals turn. Look to the future and have faith rather than going on and on about Nostradamus. It's one album its not like they've released a string of conceptual metal albums.

I never get tired of that performance although i think that the Live in London performance of it with Ripper is better. Let me just be clear i think the performance is better not the vocals but i did enjoy them too but Halford owns on this track. I just think the album version was too slow and this version is a bit too fast. Live in London they got it just right.

Sun is a phenominal song. Am i mistaken or was that written about his mother? Yes i love Crucible on a whole probably more than Ressurection even though i love thaty album. The title track is one of the heaviest things i've ever heard and the intro riff gives me the shvers and then Rob's voice, my god (Halford) blew me away and i thought it couldn't be matched on any song then i heard Sad Wings on Live Insurrection which cemented his status to me as the one and only metal God, nobody and i mean nobody apart from Halford would ever be able to sing that song like that phenominal! Hell is Home is one of Rippers best definately i agree but Bloodstained struck such a chord with me i love that song! Now then as for POE yes i say it is their weakest album however it has some of my favourite tracks on it. The ones i like most are 'Heading out to the Highway', Hot Rockin, Desert Plains, Solar Angels (the best) and i even love You say Yes just for the calm and soothing bit in the middle. As for that i can say i didn't really enjoy the rest but i didn't mind Don't go either and yes there will be no sleep on Christmas Eve this year cause Halford will be shakin down my walls this yeah! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

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

JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:

Finally someone sees it from my point too! Yes POE was their weakest i agree with that cause i mean i aint gonna lie i love a lot of songs on Turbo, Locked in is one of my all time favourites! I would have loved to see them on that tour too like on The DVD Electric eye, the stage looked amazing and they were on top form with a full arena thousands of fans too oh man why couldn't i have been around in the 80s? Yes i would say Nostradamus is one of my most listened to albums too, i can't explain why but it is i, like you like a lot of songs on that album. I have also been through that unstoppable phase of listening to The Ripper era. I love Jugulator and Priest have never sounded heavier (would have been better with Halford though for sure). I believe there should be different genres for every time of the year and it shouldn't matter what the topic is if the music is good. Halford always manages to bring out something that is missing. Ressurection was a return to pure heavy metal, Crucible well that was an experimental album for sure but it paid off, the title track is one of the greatest opening tracks of all time (despite the intro Park Manor). Get into the Spirit rocks hard and i look forward to the rest of the album!

guardian angel wrote:

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

JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:

Well maybe not to you no but fans of the album would probably disagree with you. I love every Priest album and they were definately the ones that set the benchmark for metal, i even see the good in Turbo 'Locked In' is one of my favourite all time Priest tracks and so is 'Out in the Cold' in fact i like the whole first half aof the album plus Wreckless. Rather than pick faults with albums which just ruins things, i find the good in all albums and that way i can enjoy whatever i'm listening to and not be disappointed. It's a shame more people here can't think it the same way. Besides sometimes it's the small things that make albums great i bet critics don't go wow, the chorus in 'Future of Mankind' is one of the best that Priest have ever written or wow the guitar playing in 'Nostradamus' (the track) is some of the best they have ever done or wow Halford gives one of the best performances of his entire career on 'Exiled' or wow 'Persecution' is a real heavy mo fo featuring yet again an awesome chorus, or yet wow 'Death' is one of the most evil and atmospheric tracks they have ever written or wow 'Alone' is one of, if not the best ballad they have ever written besides Angel!

Rather than finding the gems in something they just brush it off and go bah what a disapointment and i tell you, i bet Priest feel let down by that too cause they poured their heart and soul into that album even if some of the tracks weren't up to 'heavy metal standards'. It doesn't make it bad music that's all i'm saying.

		JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:

		The reason people don;t like Nostradamus so much is because it has layers, whereas albums such as Painkiller and Jugulator didn't. It was just power power power etc. Nostradamus is a very diverse album which fetures many different tempos and feelings. Some weren't as powerful as i'd hoped but hey they guys tried. I think if you exclude most of the prologues and a couple of songs and a are left with this: Dawn of creation, Prophecy, Revelations, Pestilence and plague, Death, Conquest, Persecution, Alone, Visions, Calm before the Storn, Nostradamus, Future of Mankind. Now that would have been good. I can share some of your disapontment because i too was when i first heard it but for some reason it still syands to this day as my most listened to album. I obviously pick out my favourites but Hell i genuinely enjoy it. Drums/production could have been more creative/better and some of the lyrics but for the most part they rocked hard. I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

I can believe that it's like Dream Theater and Symphony X! Both sets of fans hate each other even though the bands play both equally great music. The only reason they booed Halford was because a lot of Maiden fans are elitist pigs (not all mind you so no offence to any here). Priest and Maiden don't gotogether so if you stick them in a room with each other the out come won't be so good. I certainly wouldn't boo Maiden but i wouldn't be overly excited to see them either cause that's just pure ignorance. Plus if it was just Halford band opening for Maiden my God they must have made Maiden look like like a wannabe band lol Halfords music is pure heavy metal through and through!

Ok...I guess I can sort of get an idea why you like the album,most fans of the album say its Maiden's best work ever and that every single track on the album is a hit single and could be considered a best Maiden tune every one of them.I can see your point at least. With the "A Matter Of Life And Death" album as I've said many times before,I absolutely hate the first track "Different World" and the other track they first released "Benjamin Bragg"...those 2 songs are shit and those are the 2 songs they chose to release as singles and videos! The other 8 tracks on the album are decent Iron Maiden,not thier best work,but better than any album that came out after the 1984 "Powerslave" album by far in my opinion.

It blows my mind away that there is a lot of people that actually "like" Dance Of Death album?

I've tried many times to listen to it and its like Nostradamus to me,it gets worse with every listen! lol! I can't help it,but 90% of Iron Maiden fans like this album,I'm never going to be one of them Joe!! lol!

I think that Brave New World was half cool and half "lame". Dance Of Death to me is totally lame,and A Matter Of Life And Death may not be thier best album but is thier best effort since Powerslave in my book.

Bazooka Joe wrote:

Understandable. Maiden rip themselves off everytime they write a song, but people like it, I do, Maiden are amazing haha. I think even there last three albums since they got back together have been VERY good. Especially Dance of death. The song itself is one of the best they've ever written.

JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote:

Unfortunately Maiden don't strike a chord with me, they use too many harmonies, all their songs are pretty much the same tempo and none of them differ from each other (i know that's their style and that's cool, if it aint broke don't try to fix it right?). I stand by what i say, Priest are the Metal Gods and i just overall prefer their music as it has the really hard edge that metal is all about. I don't have anything against Maiden and the crew though, i know how popular and more sucessful they are than Priest, well in the UK mainly.

And Hellrider, i listen to Priest all of the time in fact some people would say too much but i think you can never get enough of The Priest! (Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:11:59 PM)

OH Hellrider don't get me wrong i know what you're saying, i saw them this year in Manchester and Halford was on top form he was hitting the high notes all night long in fact they were so loud and high that the monitors couldn't really handle it they were crackling under the pressure HAHA! Yeah he still does the end of Painkiller fantastically well and i think he reserves himself a lot to do that at the end. I'm just saying that i think he can't sing it as well as he used to. The last 'awesome' version of Painkiller was when Halford was on the Crucible tour in 2002 i think it was and he still sang it superbly, even better than the 90's. I just think that it gets a bit much for him now. His screams are still perfect and i mean perfect and it seems you know too! When they were doing Metal Gods the line, 'better be the SLAAAAVEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!' Everyone just looked around at each other and were like whoa where did that come from and i just laughed (and gawped in pure disbelief), it gave me the shivers it was so high and perfect. Things like that just remind me why i love Priest and Halford so much. People can say that Dickinson is the best voice in metal but in my opinion he doesn't stand up to Halford especially for screams. I've never once heard Dickinson sing something that gives me the shivers, Halford has done it album after album to me. His best performance of a song to date is Victim of Changes, there is a video on youtube i'll try to find from this year's British Steel tour and it is perfect from start to finish.

Maybe we could get a Painkiller album with more of Robs usual melodic singing with some signature screams here and there for good measure. He could go it like Demonzier and sing all of the way through then at the end HE MELTS YOUR FACE WITH A SCREAMING RUSH OF POOOOWWWWWWERRRRR until we're nothing but a little pile on the floor.

Hell yeah J.D i think it would be awesome after all British Steel was the bands claim to fame, and reliving classic hits along the lines of Grinder and Metal Gods it can't possibly be a bad thing! Well let's just hope that they follow through with the idea cause i've been thinking lately and i just want them to release some good old heavy metal. I know i love Nostradamus but it was too full of slow paced mid tempo and not very heavy songs, i want the Priest that i love the most and anything along the lines of British Steel to Angel of Retribution would do (with a couple of exceptions). Now another Defenders of the Faith would be awesome especially if they release an anthem as good as Heavy Duty which is possibly my favourite track on the album it's so damn heavy and Halfords vocals just tear me apart everytime.

I just thought it was well though out, the emotion and feeling that came out through some of the tracks were overwhelming and i salute them for putting this together. It showed a different side to them that only comes out in tracks from their earliest albums. I think possibly the best allround track would have to be Alone that is a true Priest ballad and classic in my opinion. Nostradamus and Persecution are the heavy ass tracks which i love above many of their well known hits. But still i would like to see a return to good old British Steel! Something with relentless double bass, Strumming heavy riffs with harmonics and thunderous Halford screams although i fear they may be few and far between but still. Give us some good old prime British metal! As for winter songs i will not judge further until i hear the whole album. If the music is good it will get my vote despite the topic.

Unfortunately Maiden don't strike a chord with me, they use too many harmonies, all their songs are pretty much the same tempo and none of them differ from each other (i know that's their style and that's cool, if it aint broke don't try to fix it right?). I stand by what i say, Priest are the Metal Gods and i just overall prefer their music as it has the really hard edge that metal is all about. I don't have anything against Maiden and the crew though, i know how popular and more sucessful they are than Priest, well in the UK mainly.

And Hellrider, i listen to Priest all of the time in fact some people would say too much but i think you can never get enough of The Priest! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:11:59 PM)

OH Hellrider don't get me wrong i know what you're saying, i saw them this year in Manchester and Halford was on top form he was hitting the high notes all night long in fact they were so loud and high that the monitors couldn't really handle it they were crackling under the pressure HAHA! Yeah he still does the end of Painkiller fantastically well and i think he reserves himself a lot to do that at the end. I'm just saying that i think he can't sing it as well as he used to. The last 'awesome' version of Painkiller was when Halford was on the Crucible tour in 2002 i think it was and he still sang it superbly, even better than the 90's. I just think that it gets a bit much for him now. His screams are still perfect and i mean perfect and it seems you know too! When they were doing Metal Gods the line, 'better be the SLAAAAVEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!' Everyone just looked around at each other and were like whoa where did that come from and i just laughed (and gawped in pure disbelief), it gave me the shivers it was so high and perfect. Things like that just remind me why i love Priest and Halford so much. People can say that Dickinson is the best voice in metal but in my opinion he doesn't stand up to Halford especially for screams. I've never once heard Dickinson sing something that gives me the shivers, Halford has done it album after album to me. His best performance of a song to date is Victim of Changes, there is a video on youtube i'll try to find from this year's British Steel tour and it is perfect from start to finish.

Hell yeah J.D i think it would be awesome after all British Steel was the bands claim to fame, and reliving classic hits along the lines of Grinder and Metal Gods it can't possibly be a bad thing! Well let's just hope that they follow through with the idea cause i've been thinking lately and i just want them to release some good old heavy metal. I know i love Nostradamus but it was too full of slow paced mid tempo and not very heavy songs, i want the Priest that i love the most and anything along the lines of British Steel to Angel of Retribution would do (with a couple of exceptions). Now another Defenders of the Faith would be awesome especially if they release an anthem as good as Heavy Duty which is possibly my favourite track on the album it's so damn heavy and Halfords vocals just tear me apart everytime.

Ah yes Before the Dawn an underated classic on a fantastic album. Yeah that struck me when i first heard it, it was like this song is completely different to the rest of the album it was like 'Last rose of summer' on Sin after Sin (one of my all time favourites and it aint exactly heavy metal). My favourite on Killing Machine is the title track (for the UK) it has so much power and raw energy i love it. As for other ballads i would say 'Turn on your Light' is a great song and i really wish that they had released this on an album rather than as a bonus track.

Then I choose Hellrider and other Priest classics like Delivering the Goods and it works fine.(lol)! No fooling!

Its good you can find so many gems on Nostradamus but I just can't find that many. I think the best are Persecution, Conquest, Nostradamus and War.

The best ballad in my opinion is Before thr Dawn from Hell Bent. Simple song with a great solo right smack in the middle of it.

It's a real shame that you don't cause you're missing out on a lot of music and i aint just on about metal either whether to do with Priest or not. Anyways more to the point it doesn't spell disaster to Priest because Christmas only comes but once year. Plus Halford said himself he feels it will be a strong heavy metal release. Priest have ever gone soft despite your views on Nostradamus their are some awesome heavy tracks on there, Prophecy, Death, Persecution, Visions, Nostradamus and Future of Mankind are all true Prest the others are contraversial i'll give you that but they always keep some elements there, After hearing a rather large amount of bad reviews of Nostradamus do you really think they will put out something that might further damage the bands reputation as a whole? I certainly don't. Halford can do what he likes on his own as far as i'm concerned, as long as Priest are still there to deliver the goods and i'm sure that is what we will be getting. They can't ignore fan requests but i still hope they do something new and fresh.

And Lochness i love that song, i think the only reason people don't like it is because it was their first epic song and the lyrics were cheesy but Hell the music is badass and it is bloody Heavy too. I can't resist banging my hed when the main verse riff comes in it's awesome. Kinda reminds me of the music you would get from the Dynasty warriors games.

Well he did call him a Sellout and Senile. I would say that's insulting considering Halford is not either of those! He's far from a sellout as his amitions and musical directions don't appeal to most lol!

Judas Rising
Deal With The Devil
Revolution
Worth Fighting For
Demonizer
Wheels Of Fire
Angel
Hellrider
Eulegy

The only less quality track on here is Lochness but the first 9 tracks are fabulous!!! Revolution sounds like it could of been on Hell Bent For Leather right after the Killing Machine track!!!

Worth Fighting For reminds me of Desert Plains and Take These Chains mixed kind of,excellent track. Angel is total classic Judas Priest as was Dreamer Deceiver off Sad Wings Of Destiny.

Angel Of Retribution is the 5th best Judas Priest album of all time in my opinion,only Sad Wings Of Destiny,British Steel,Screaming For Vengeance,and Painkiller are better than this record!!!!

And I see where Jimmy James is coming from,the usual metal fan wants "metal" especially from the "metal god"....not "christmas songs". I don't think he really bashed Halford as he was just

Well i would say you can weigh up the pros's and cons of both albums. Painkiller is damn right heavy from start to finish where as AOR you have a bit of everything and that is what i like most about Priest. HEAVIEST: Demonizer, Hellrider, HEAVY: Judas Rising, Deal with the Devil, Wheels of Fire, Lochness, MODERATELY HEAVY: Worth fighting for, Revolution, SOFT: Angel, Euology. It's a fantastic album and out of all of their albums the production is definately the best, everything is crisp and clean. Painkiller is just a relentless heavy beast which i also love but man AOR is full of diversity and has something for every mood you're in. It's a tough choice if you're going for full on heavy metal then Painkiller if you're going for a top notch all-rounder then AOR. I would say AOR is still relatively fresh so i prefer it at this moment in time because i have played Painkiller to death which i'm sure everyone has once before. It does not get enough credit in my opinion.

Great point i agree with that whole heartidly. He can still sing and i appologise for not making my point clear and that is a great one at that, Halford can still sing and beautifully. His screams are starting to go but man he's nearly 60. Angel brings tears to my eyes. But mind he can still scream like a mo fo when he really wants to i'll never forget the show in Manchester this year oh man his screams were perfect in a lot of the songs and so f*****g loud too! I'm pleased they left out Painkiller from the British Steel set it's about time that was laid to rest but now i want to hear Demonizer!!! I can always dream!

You are right, i love it when they do the same old thing too. Some of it just clicks with me more than others. I love every album and i can see the good in all albums even Nostradamus although i was disapointed when i first heard it to say the least but hey it has some heavy tracks. Persecution is damn heavy could be on Painkiller easily! Anyways yep back to the roots heavy metal would be awesome. From Ram it Down onwards they got more intense. When people thought they couldn't get any heavier the released Painkiller and when people think they couldn't get any heavier they released Jugulator (despite it being Ripper i love that album). Angel of Retribution went to classic mixed with modern heavy and i loved it. I would welcome a return to AOR Priest style heavy metal. I just hope the boys still feel up to it after all of these years and Rob won't be able to keep his voice forever unfortunately as it has showed signs of detioration and man i feel like killing myself for saying that because Halford is my idol in every sense of the word but it's true. They should take a break and then head into the studio and let Rob have a rest cause after all this touring he's bound to need a one. He just needs to let his vocal chords repair and he will be the screaming Metal God yet again!

I hear what you are saying JD and i respect that. All i need to say though is that this is Halford not Priest. Every musician has an entitlement to do what they have always wanted to do and i guess this is a big thing for Rob. When Priest return again which they will, it will be an awesome album i posted a link in the links to Priest interviews, it's with KK and he says (to quote) 'We have a few shows to do in Japan but then we have to see where we want to take Judas Priest from this point. One thing is for sure, we are not going to be repeating history, we are going to be pushing metal forward as we always do.' So get ready for something unique and new but I, like you my firend can only hope that it is rip roaring heavy metal! I'm sure it will have the elements! I hope it's more stuff like Nostradamus (the song not the whole album) because music to me is pure Priest heavy metal!

I agree with Skybreaker here...I think its been to long since the band has released a proper heavy metal album. And 2005 is almost 5 years ago now. I really think that the next Judas Priest studio album is going to set a pace as to what they are evolving into. Another "Nostradamus" could spell the demise of this band's career. I don't think they will do that again but whos to really know especially that we are almost 5 years from Angel Of Retribution now,the last album that was traditional british heavy metal with no opera or winter songs influenced.

You know when i first heard that Halford was releasing this, i thought what the Hell? But i was excited none the less. I mean come on people it's Halford!!!! It's all part of his plan to fill every corner of the music business with metal. Now comes Christmas time. Get into the spirit rocks hard in fact it doesn't even sound like a Christmas song! But now at last the whole metal community has an album that can be listened to over Christmas without fear of the band going 'soft'. I've listened to these two and i have thoroughly enjoyed them both. Get into the Spirit is better but We three kings put a big smile on my face. At the end of the day it makes you feel good and happy like what Christmas music is supposed to do except you have the God of Metal fronting it and it's heavy stuff!

Long live Halford!!!!

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

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Thursday, July 09, 2009 10:43:31 AM

I agree with everyone who says it's a slap in the face cause you've already heard them before. But thinkabout it if they had only have done songs from 2008/09 that hadn't been played live before would you not be disapointed that there is no AOR? Lets also be honest, the recordings on RITE are great and probaby the best that exist of that tour so putting them onto CD is a good thing cause you can drive down road blasting Hellrider and not need a DVD player. Next point, the album versions will undoubtably sound better than on the DVD as they will have hopefully poured a lot of time into the production so that will be good to hear. And the final point, six songs is 6 songs, that's still a good amount. To some bands that is 3/4 of an album. I'm not saying that i am not dissapointed cause i am but only a bit and every cloud has a silver lining and all of that. But i'm not dissapointed Cause when Priest do things, they do it right and when they announce their new studio album, there will be a roar from Judas Priest fans the likes that the world has never heard. Nostradamus was an awesome album in my opinion and i treasure it but it did hold something back, the heavy metal that Priest became famous for in the 80's and 90's and returned to with AOR, this next album is going to be 'IT' folks i trully believe this will be their greatest offering i know you can still cut it Halford even if it is for one last time!

Well obviously they wanted to release some stuff from Angel of Retribution live and lets face it they did 2 of the best tracks from the album on Rising in the East so that's why they have went back to it. However i agree most of the stuff they performed this and last year year was way better than in 2005 but they probably didn't record every show and maybe because they were recording a DVD already (Rising in the East), the sound might be far superior to any other recordings they have of those tracks. It is a shame cause i know Halford has done Painkiller way better than on RITE and i hope they decide to change this version (which they won't) but its not the strongest in all honesty is it. Still liking the set list of songs that aren't from RITE, they sound great especially Death.

I was completely and utterly blown away, it's one of the best heavy metal drum solo's i have ever heard. What really struck me was his speed, accuracy and technicality with his bass pedals, my God Scott can roll like the best of them. Trust me it's a solo you wouldn't want to miss.

Hmm i would definately disagree with you there. Those 3 you mentioned are great but there are others.

Those are great songs, the others i kind of overlook but i love Demolition as a whole it was breaking new ground. If some other band had released it everyone probably would have liked it, i did anyway. I like it when they are diverse, hell if Priest came up with a death/blackesque metal album next i think it would be awesome, Halford has the grunt for it. However I think you're right J.D, i would like to hear some more classic heavy metal again from the boys, the sound that they suit the most for me was with Angel of Retribution, i have been listening to that album religiously for the past week (as i do with all of their albums) and i honestly think they should do something like that again, the production was fantastic and the music was even better, even Lochness has its moments. So yeah go on Priest make us some good old school heavy metal.

They are releasing this to fill in the gap for when they come to recording a new studio album and they don't need to take any time away from touring to do that it's called feeding the fans. At least they aint released a million live albums like Iron Maiden have! That is what i trully believe and i'm pleased too cause some of these live tracks are my favourites recorded, Prophecy, Eat Me Alive, Beyond the Realms of Death. It's a brilliant track listing. It's crappy that they have ignored the Ripper years but most people believe that Halford is Priest, he is where he belongs. What they should have said was never released by the definitive lineup!

I completely agree on this subject. I feel that they shouldn't play stuff from Halfords solo career as much as i asolutely love and i mean love the music, it is awesome and so is his work with Fight. It just aint JP and they already play covers you know, The Green Manalishi and Diamonds and Rust etc. Halford's solo career is more modern Heavy Metal and wouldn't fit in with Priests classic sound. Halford did say in an interview that he would like to sing Ripper era stuff but as much as i hate to agree on this i don't think he will. He said it's because they have such an extensive back catalogue that they struggle to think of songs to put in to a setlist, but personally i think its cause most of the fans aren't interested which is a dissapointment. They should do Cathedral Spires that would be such a concert closer (that trully was a masterpiece from the Ripper era) anyone who doesn't like that song based on Ripper singing it is a moron, it is a phenominal song. It's nothing Halford could't handle either. I have come across fans who have never listened to Jugulator or Demolition because it's 'not Judas Priest', well that is bullshit. 4 of the definitive members are still there and Glenn/ KK did most of the song writing as usual, Ripper just sang and did a pretty damn decent job. I say they should put this one song in and see the reaction they get, a lot of Ripper era fans would tear the roof off the place and i for one would be joining them.

That's cool you are entitled to your opinion! Yeah i know a lot of people didn't like the Ripper years, but i bought Demolition when it came out as i was just getting into Priest and was unaware of the change in vocalists. So i kinda engaged in that era after hearing only a couple of albums with Halford, but Halford is the best. Actually i have been sceptical about Halfords voice on Painkiller and i agree it hasn'tbeen superb however he has done better performances than others whilst on tour these couple of years. Tokyo 2008 and I believe it ws Milan 2009 were better for screams but overall i would say he is better now than he was in 2005 as a couple of his screams were weak on the RITE version of the song. But he sure can scream in the song!

TOPIC: Judas Priest performing live

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Tuesday, May 26, 2009 7:50:08 AM

Let me just say with all confidence that the only song that Halford really struggles with now is Painkiller and even then he gets the trademark screams spot on and i mean SPOT ON. When i went to see them live in February it was the best concert of my life and boy did they have some competition. Testament and Megadeth were both on top form and i thought Priest were gonna have sound difficulties as they took ages to come on as there was a technical fault but My God, they blew the other 2 off the stage. By the time Prophecy had kicked in i had forgotten who had been on beforehand and i kicked myself for doubting that they would be anything less than 'out of this world' as i too had heard and seen some live videos that didn't sound the best. Don't let people who have only watched youtube videos and never seen Priest live fool you, They are an incredible live band and Halford will have your ears bleeding by the end of the set. The monitors in Manchester couldn't handle the pitch of his screams and i was in the front row practically deaf thanks to the end of Painkiller.

I've seen them 3 times since 2005 and believe me you wouldn't wanna miss them, it is a completely different experience watching them live in concert to some terrible quality youtube video.

They are the Metal Gods and they will blow your mind!

I understand why people are reacting as they are at totally ignoring the Ripper live albums but am i the only one who wants to hear these tracks sung by Halford? This is a fantastic set that they have put together and to so many fans, Rob Halford is Judas Priest! Rob is my musical hero along with Scott as my drumming idol but i love the Ripper years they were brutal to say the least and awesome. However these tracks have been unreleased live with Halford so lets just be happy that the Metal God has returned and i wonder which version of Painkiller they will choose but i'm guessing it will be live in Tokyo 2008, his vocals were superb in that show!

I just wish i could find the interview it was late 2008 don't give up hope. I reckon they'll blow our socks off again when they write another album.

At the end of the day i don't think Priest should always do what the fans are expecting cause they probably get bored of doing 'typical Priest stuff'. They are human beings and this is their career they should be able to have fun doing it and if coming up with a completely different album gives them the rush they never had from their career then they should be entitled to do that. They can't always just 'stay loyal' to there old fans cause they need to try and attract new ones too. But if you don't like it that's cool, everyone has a different opinion.

I just wish the drumming and production were a little better, but that's my opinion. There is the odd cheesy moment in there but its Priest they've always done things like that.

ETc. you see my point. The songs compared aren't even the same vibe or feel really.

I see what your trying to do but my advice is take Nostradamus for what it is, don't compare it to every other Priest album because you'll never enjoy it then. The only thing on the album that reminds me of another Priest song is Nostradamus and Painkiller, and that's just the main riff in both of them. There basically the same fucking riff haha.

I would say there is plenty of classic Priest style songs in there even if they have adopted a different approach. Some can't compare why? because they did something different and all credit to them. Plenty of fans of Classic Priest especially from the 70's early 80's would like Nostradamus i believe.

I wasn't trying to get the songs to sound the same i'm tring to get the similarity in style/ mood correct, some you obviously disagree with and that's fine but it's what i personally think is round about the same style. I don't compare these songs to others and even if i did i aint dissapointed with Nostradamus it's in my top 5 Priest albums without a doubt and i'm not saying that cause it's the latest release and all the hype etc, i generally believe it is one of their best albums musically, it really hits home that they spent a hell of a lot of time on this and have put more thought into the lyrics and the composition, everything is awesome. I just wish the drumming and production were a little better, but that's my opinion. There is the odd cheesy moment in there but its Priest they've always done things like that. And yes correct Maniac i was refering to the solo section in Death that is similar to Dissident Aggressor. Nostradamus is a kick ass album and i can't wait for them to get back in the studio and start recording their next master piece.

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Friday, May 22, 2009 4:25:04 AM

Well i'll admit the first time i listened to Nostradamus i was a little dissapointed. I thought some of the songs were really boring and slow, yes some of them are slow and mid paced. However 1 year after its release and why do i find myself listening to it more than any other Priest album? I gave it a good chance i played it a few times around and some of the songs really jumped at me. Hell i think most of the 'main songs' on that album are fantastic. Dawn of Creation into Prophecy is goosebump inducing and that track is awesome i love it. Live, it almost brought a tear to my eye. The highlights i find are, Prophecy, Revelations (which has one of the best dark moody sections ever before the end of the song) Pestilence and Plague (Priest proved that they can create hooks even in foreign languages when you didn't know what they were singing, pretty genius i might add), Death (The most evil song ever and it is so moody it is fantastic and it erupts into Dissident Aggressor esc drumming and one of their heaviest riffs), Conquest (coupled with peace definately one of the highlights of the album) and, Persecution (J.D Diamond if you don't think that is Priest style heavy metal then you must be crazy lol one of the heaviest songs of their career with a vocally fantastic chorus and riffage), Alone (should have been a single, it's brilliant and among the best ballads they've written with Angel and Out in the Cold), Nostradamus (definately the most instrumentally impressive song on the album, the band really push theirselves on this, stunning) Future of Mankind (worth listening to for the end riffage but also has one of the best chorus's that they have ever written, love this song) it is a brilliant album and i have all of them from Rocka Rolla through to Nostradamus. I can honestly say it's one of their best. It just needs a chance to get into it.

I respectfully disagree with you on I don't think Nostradamus is "classic Priest in all intents and purposes at all. It does'nt have the JP sound to me at all,not to my ears. Neither did Turbo or Demolition.

I gotta respectfully disagree on the experimentation aspect, because I don't think Priest has ever stuck to one formula throughout their 30-plus years in metal music.

I am against "experimentation". I would be happy if Judas Priest quit experimenting and focus on "heavy metal"....

I don't want "something different" at all.....I want the same thing year after year......HEAVY METAL ...screaming in your face heavy metal....like hellrider likes!!! LOL!

When Angel Of Retribution was released..you didn't hear anybody complaining that "it wasn't experimental enough"??? No,fans were thrilled to hear a killer JP recording without any B.S.

Nostradamus is boring and flat,and is way to mellow and slow.

Actually Priest did experiment with Jugalator.

By the way, I just want to know, How have you heard Nostradomus without buying it?

J.D. DIAMOND wrote:

I understand your opinion,but don't agree with it and thats alright.

But to me,Judas Priest did NOT EXPERIMENT with albums like Rocka Rolla being thier first they did not experiment,then with albums like Sad Wings Of Destiny, Sin After Sin, Stained Class, Hell Bent For Leather

"British Steel", Screaming For Vengeance, Defenders Of The Faith, Painkiller, Jugulator  and Angel Of Retribution.....     these 11 albums Judas Priest did not experiment with...they just wrote Priest styled heavy metal...

The albums they did experiment with were "Point Of Entry" with trying different tracks commercial like "Don't Go - You Say Yes- Trouble Shooter,All The Way - On the run....

Then the horrible album "Turbo,   Ram It Down, Demolition and Nostradamus. Those 5 albums they experimented with and each one of them "failed".....every time they "failed"...they came back with a NORMAL Judas Priest album.

After experimenting with Point Of Entry....they came back with "Screaming For Vengeance.

After experimenting with "Turbo & Ram It Down"(since the two were supposed to be a double album)..they came back with "Painkiller".

After experimenting with "Demolition"....they came back with "Angel Of Retribution".

So history shows that every time they fail at an experimental album,they always come back with a NORMAL traditional JP album like I mentioned.

I think that they will do the same after failing at Nostradamus.

I also believe that most people are forcing themselves to like Nostradamus because of its epic magnitude.

I have many albums that are just as "epic" and massive as Nostradamus that blow it away because of the strong song writting.

Just my thoughts,no worries. I'm glad you enjoy Nostradamus,I sure don't,...never bought it and never will.Thats one of 3 JP albums I will never have on my shelf space.

Then take Saxon for example...they wrote thier last 7 LPs on running on the same formula,yet none of them sound "the same"....and they kick the crap out of JP's experimental albums by far.

It is a fact that we see things differently. There are some bands that always follow the same formula and it`s alright, it`s safe. But there are other bands that look for new challenges and don`t get satisfied only with selling albums, receiving money or making their fans happy, doing the same thing all the time. That`s the easy way!. Judas Priest falls into the second category. They just let their creativity flow and dare to do new things which I think is great. They`ve learned and evolved thanks to experimentation. They`ve always wanted to go beyond. If they hadn`t challenged themselves, we wouldn`t have albums like British Steel, Defenders of the Faith, Painkiller, Angel of Retribution, Nostradamus. If they hadn`t dared to do new things we would still be listening to albums in the vain of Rocka Rolla.

It`s great to see these Metal Gods stretching their wings and doing what they feel. Good musicians as Judas Priest always feel the need of inventing and reinventing. That`s why they`ve been around so long. They don`t need to repeat themselves over and over because they have the experience, musicianship and talent to create an original job and this has allowed them to be in the vanguard.

We have to consider it`s really difficult to be at the top for almost 40 years, being creative, original, doing Metal, which is a very complex style.

J.D. DIAMOND wrote:

I could'nt disagree with you more here. I do however respect your opinion though. I don't think its a good idea for "METAL" bands to "experiment".

Thats just my personal opinion I realise. Take people who are not Judas Priest freaks like us but still love "heavy metal".......almost ALL of them do not like Nostradamus.

I swear,if it was Iron Maiden that did Nostradamus,everybody on this site would HATE IT! LOL! Its true...lol!!!

But since its JP..........

I think Judas Priest wasted thier time with experimental albums.....Point Of Entry may have some good tracks on it,but half of them are really under-par songs that are easy to forget.

Turbo,Ram It Down,Demolition and Nostradamus all of them are JP experimenting in one way or another.

Take Metallica....99.9% of all people big tall short and small all like thier first 3 albums with Cliff the best.....and its for good reason...."the song writting".

I feel that with the experimenting on Nostradamus,it hampered Judas Priest's song writting big time.

I don't like it when bands do something different......thats just me,but I understand how,and why you enjoy Nostradamus.....I'll have to wait for the next record and hope its a normal album.

This is what I hate most about Judas Priest....they don't always "deliver the goods"..........I hate it when I have to guess what they are going to do next.....I think it sucks.

Bands like AC/DC,Motorhead,Saxon....you know what your going to get............its hard enough to write a killer album let alone trying to experiment along the way.

chileansteel wrote:

I see another point in this debate too, and that is musical growth. Judas Priest are great musicians and, fortunately for us, they are full of ideas. You say Nostradamus is a masterpiece of experimentation and I agree with you. They explored new horizons with the album. They wanted to go beyond, adding new elements, techniques, knowledge within their style.

I`m sure many of you are musicians and you know experimentation is part of it. Sometimes you find yourself stuck, doing always the same. I think it`s important for musicians to dare to do different things, to do what they feel, to express what`s inside their minds. That`s what Judas Priest did. They challenged themselves and dared to do a concept, original album. Experimental if you like. I respect their job. We all know very well that they are not a commercial band but they do what they want and feel. What`s more, they care for growing as musicians.

Again, we all "Judas Priest fans" have different musical background so we`re touched by the albums in different ways. That`s the beauty of it!

I hope the world doesn`t come to an end yet to enjoy another great Judas Priest album!!!

I agree. I can't understand what is so awsome about "Nostradamus"? I know we all have our own opinions and such I realise,but this album is not a masterpiece of excellence,its a masterpiece of experimentation.

I listened to the entire album again last night and it was painful,the only tracks I like out of all 22 songs are Visions and Nostradamus....the same two songs they let us hear before they released the album.

I hope from touring British Steel album again,they will retreat back to the studio and create a real Judas Priest album with "great songs on it".

Well i do love the song Death it is one of my personal favourites on Nostradamus as it recreates the mood perfectly, However i would be more pleased if they put Prophecy on, they do a great job of that live and it's so heavy. But you're right Dissident Aggressor should be there and Eat me Alive. In fact i actually prefer the set they have given us this year to the one they did in 2005. I just wish so much that they had played Demonizer, my god (Rob Halford) that would have been spectacular!

I have to say i thought it sounded a bit strange when they said it was going to be from different shows they have done since 2005 but i think it will be cool that they are unreleased tracks. I can't wait to hear Prophecy blasting through my speakers, live =D (if it's on). I'm not sure a lot of people would want to hear Painkiller not because it was on Live in London or Live Meltdown 98 but because Halford struggles with it a lot now (he still screams well enough, but struggles with the singing). I'd rather they put 'Between the Hammer and the Anvil' on instead =D but still i aint gonna complain if Painkiller does make its way on to the disc, Halford still does a half decent job on it.

Yo Pipen, Halford quit smoking sometime last year in the middle of the Metal Masters tour. And as for their being a next time i think there will be. Halford said in a recent interview that Priest will continue to make metal until they get tired and then followed to say that they certainly don't feel tired yet. That was a couple of months ago so i think we can expect at least one more from them. I pray they make another i really do something heavy as Hell!

Thanks Head banger, yeah i agree Priest need him. Metallica couldn't have him anyways he's too good for them.

After all how many people do you know apart from all us Priest fans here of course, say that Priest are their favourite metal band? And how many times do they crop up in a conversation about metal music?...be honest Exactly. I love the fact that i discovered Priest for myself rather than someone tell me who i was meant to like or who i was meant to listen to. There is far too much hype around Metallica, their music has been mediocre since Load it just potters on like a tramp with a wine bottle apart from a few eceptions from DM.

I agree mate i always wanted to know why they never played any Ripper Material with Halford i mean after all tracks like, One on One, Hell is Home, Burn in Hell, Cathedral Spires and Bullet Train are fantastic tracks it aint as if he wrote the songs lol. I know what you mean about experimentation, KK should go back to the solo's like Sinner and Victim of Changes and Glenn could stick to his beautifully written melodic solo's like Beyond the Realms of Death and Touch of Evil. As for Turbo, i love the album, the first half is a fantastic array of tracks i mean Out in the Cold is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion and Locked in is one of my all time favourites. If you can't headbang to Private property there is something wrong with you lol and Rock you all around the world has some killer riffage! As for Ram it Down i think people would love it more if it was Holland playing all of the tracks. they even played the title track live on the RID tour and yet on the album they used a drum machine cause you can tell by the sound. Hard as Iron remains one of my favourite tracks to this day definately the best on the album. I think Love Zone and Blood Red Skies are awesome too but the solos in the title track i have to agree can't be any better, some of the best guitar work i have ever heard them do and Halford's screams literally perforate your ear drums absolute class. I wasn't dissing RID i was just merely stating that was when i was born and stating that unfortunately i never saw them live in the 80's. I love the two Ripper albums dearly and Sin after Sin, POE has 5 great tracks on which are, Heading out to the Highway, Hot Rockin', Desert Plains, Solar Angels and You Say Yes. The rest are ok but those tracks i love. I do need to listen to Sin after Sin more though i reckon!

I would love to see some of the Tim Owens material performed live also, a Halford style Bullett Train could not be that bad. I think it would be Great.

Recently I have been listening to some Priest albums that get pushed to the side most of the time. Turbo, Point of Entry, Jugalator, Demolition, Sin after Sin, and Ram It Down. They are all great albums, but the most under rated album has to be Ram it Down. I know that Ram It Down is regarded as one of the worst Priest albums, but thats being compared to other Priest albums. That is some stiff competition if you ask me. Ram it Down is truly a hidden treasure. Yeah it has a drum machine, yes some of the lyrics arent that great, BUT Rob's vocals are perfect here, the guitar work could not get any better. Listen to the song Ram It Down, the solo is just killer. Hard as Iron is another great. I am just saying that those who diss Ram it Down need to take another listen, (Quoting Message by JT_Small_Deadly_Space from Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:27:22 AM) Edited at: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 4:52:28 PM

On the topic of the next studio album, something with the ferocity of Jugulator and Painkiller please maybe some death metal growls in their Sir Halford as i heard him doing them at Priest Feast along with some trademark screams. Something with some awesome heavy-ass drumming but back to more melodic solo's, more memorable occasions such as, Beyond the Realms of Death, Rock Hard Ride Free, Touch of Evil and Demonizer. I know its hard to put them all together but thats what i need from Priest right now. Maybe some cool bass fills from Ian too let him ring out more like on Abductors, One on One and Metal Messiah!

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:09:24 AM

I might not know all of the tech spec but i know enough to get me by. Yes i am a drummer and on skill level and being fun to watch Scott does it for me over Holland. Na i never saw Priest back in the 80's unfortunately i was born when they released ram it Down and the only concerts i saw featuring Holland were Live Vengeance and Turbo on the Electric Eye DVD. As for not much else after Painkiller, Jugulator is by far the best drumming album for Scott and he shows his real talent here fair enough Halford wasn't with the band but the other 4 were and i still love the music produced in the Ripper years. If i had to pick an individual track i would say that Bullet Train is his best drumming performance with Priest or definately near the top. AOR was a fantastic album for drumming, the drumbeat for Revolution alone was hands down the most creative beat i've ever heard from any Priest drummer. Judas is Rising, Deal with the Devil, Demonizer and Hell-rider are all great drum tracks too. Nostradamus i agree his drumming isn't the most creative but i guess it's what fits although there are some exceptions, Persecution, Pestilence and Plague, Conquest, prophecy and Nostradamus are great tracks for drums even if not the most complicated but fun to play. Yeah Scott has a lot of stage presence behind the kit and he's always flowing and loose rather than being stiff. As for no detail and leaving out intricate parts of songs done by Holland, could you please give a few examples? I'm not attacking here i just want to see what you mean and i'll tell you if i agree.

Also stage presence behind what? the drums?

Also, Travis has been criticized (sp?) on the last 2 JP releases: AOR & NSTRDMS "of mailing it in" in the studio on his drum playing...I'll give you Painkiller but after that....not much

Everyone has an opinion & that's whats great.

Oh man please, Holland was a great time keeper and all but he had as much stage presence as a wet fart. As for having the thump, that was down to the drum specs alone, back in the 80's kits were made with larger and deeper sized toms for a more hard rock feel, hence the intense sound of the kit on albums such as Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith. Travis uses a kit more for modern metal with a clean cut sound but is not as deep. His toms are way smaller and he uses a much smaller kit than what Holland did. But Travis plays with way more power i mean have you seen the size of him? and if you disagree, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q794_DEWOuE) should prove that point. I agree sometimes he looks bored but its because he is used to challenging himself with technical drumming from the likes of Racer X, Painkiller and Angel of Retribution. He still entertains the crowd massively with such stunts as stick throwing.. and catching, stick twirling, hand switching on some songs and interacting with the crowd. His double bass work is flawless for what he does and it puts him light years ahead of Holland. At least he manages to play songs from the Simon Philips/ Les Binks era correctly as Holland failed miserably at that i mean listen to Sinner and Victim of Changes from the Live Vengeance 82 DVD (i know Les didn't record on Sad Wings od Destiny but his version is much better than Alan Moore's) which Scott plays perfectly. Long live Scott and the rest of the metal Gods!

ICM: Slow down on the what Priest could have been with Travis in the 80's thing. Holland was much more fluid and detailed than Travis. Listen to Travis play any of the Pre-Painkiller stuff and he does not have the thump nor does he play the parts with the same intensity as Holland. The Ripper, Desert Plains etc.. I'll take Holland anyday on the old stuff. Travis is all dry run sounding without the parts. Even when they did Devils Child on this past tour, Travis played it with no emotion like he has somewhere to go.. Do not compare the ERA's please!

TOPIC: REVIEW OF NOSTRADAMUS

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Wednesday, June 25, 2008 6:40:30 AM

Glad to see you have come around DemonCat i now apologise for my middle aged comment I am very pleased that a long term fellow Priest fan has seen the light and now enjoys the power of Nostradamus. There a few on youtube who could benefit from your opinions as they don't have quite such an open mind as you and i or Darth_Painkiller for that matter. :D

Nostradamus is far too intelligent of a CD to cloud up with drug/alcohol use while listening to it.

At least until you've heard it a few times. Not that I'm supporting drug/alcohol use. You wanna do this to your brain...I'm not one to preach about it. Just get to know the CD/story first. I don't want what happened to Pink Floyd's The Wall to happen to Nostradamus. I don't want to hear about how The Four Horsemen came into my room, and gave me a vision of the Apocolypse, and death will come to us all from genetically enhance watermelons or something.

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.

Forgive me Judas Priest for I have sinned!

What a fool I was to judge this by my pc speakers, and through the "leak" on the VH1 website...which does this CD no justice! I opened my mouth too soon, and placed my size 11 foot right into it. I now recant all previous messages that were negative about this CD, and Rob's voice.

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!!!!

Goodnight everyone...Metal Love to you all from Jeff!!!!!! (Quoting Message by DemonCat from Thursday, June 12, 2008 9:50:46 PM)

		This is what I've waited 3 years for?!!! 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! I am a diehard Priest fan since 1986, and this is not how I wanted Priest to end. I want my hard-assed headbangin' Judas Priest style heavy metal back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll keep my fingures crossed for the next cd.

TOPIC: Nostradamus CD....what do you think?

[JT_Small_Deadly_Space] Thursday, June 19, 2008 6:38:42 AM

Its always the same, middle aged dudes who are over 30,40 tend to hate the new stuff cause they are stuck in a rut of listening to what they perceive to be metal or the sound of Judas Priest. (Not all over 30's i may add so no offence) Well they have tried something different and i personally think it is great to see them doing something bold and refreshing. As for vocals, Halford is getting old and you really can't slate him for that but i think his singing voice is still very much in tact and awesome as always. If you were a fan of the band and cared about them at all as a fan you would have said something on the lines of this, "I don't really like the new album, however i really admire what they tried to do but it just isn't my cup of tea". But you took it a step too far and have made a mockery of Priest. Something tells me that you haven't had the time to listen to it more than once either, the tracks start to sound better after a few listens.

I just may decide to get my $42 worth, that I paid for the deluxe Nostradamus CD, 2 cents worth of bitching at a time. I have been a fan since 1986. I own, and love every album, from Rocka Rolla through Angel of Retribution. Excluding the ones with Tim Owens singing (that was never JP to me). Plus T-shirts, a clock, posters, concert tickets, tour book, and other memorebelia...so I've supported the band as the fan I am should. I certainly have a right to my opinion, and will share it when, and where I feel, if you don't like what I have to say...ignore me.

Now you owe me $10.

I personally love the new album, i think its a very brave and bold move for Priest. Yet again they have managed to create something truly unique and orally fantastic. The tracks take a few listens to enjoy fully, but i think this is some of their best work, thinking outside the metal box is what i like. I love that opener, Prophecy is such an amazing track. I would say Prophecy, Persecution, Death, Pestilence and Plague are my personal favourites and i love Alone too. Well done Priest 10/10 yet again.
