Becks I think you'll find the correct pronounciation of Taupo is Too Poor. ( Source: The weather report on 3 News ). They named it this because about 95% of the population are too poor to live there and have to be content with stopping for a sausage roll there on the way to Auckland.
So here's some pics from our long weekend away. We drove to Auckland (NZs biggest city) through the middle of the North Island
Here's Mt Ruapehu (Roo-a-pay-hoo), one of NZs many volcanoes (last erupted in the early-mid 90's, I remember watching it from afar as a kid)
And Mt Ngarahoe (cone shaped one) (naa-ra-hoe-ee) and Mt Tongariro (rugged flat type one to the right) (tong-a-reer-o) - these two are right next to Ruapehu and Tongariro is where Mordor was set for the Lord of The Rings movies.
Here's Lake Taupo (tow-paw, proper Maori pronounciation, or an attempt at writing it at least lol) - a great big lake in the middle of the North Island that was created by a giant volcanic explosion many many years ago.
Auckland city centre from a boat we went on a harbour cruise in, the tall spiky building is the Sky Tower
Me on Rangitoto (rang-ee-toe-toe) Island - another result of volcanic activity. There is no soil on this island but the trees grow awesomely on the volcanic rock.
Going underneath Auckland harbour bridge on the boat
Rangitoto Island in the background, the north shore part of Auckland in front of that, from the viewing deck of the sky tower - I nearly pooped myself lol not a big fan of heights
The beach at Devonport, a suburb of the North Shore area that we had a nosey around
That is so fuckin' cool JJ!!! I hear Ripper is a really nice guy - very cool and down to earth. Glad you had a kick ass time

Had a great time driving for Ripper Owens and his band yesterday and this morning. We were on a pretty tight schedule so not a huge amount of time to sit around talking but did manage to chat to Ripper a bit which was cool. There were a few issues with one of the guitars at the gig which the band found a little frustrating. Glitches aside it was a great show and the audience loved it. Ripper can seriously scream!!! Highlights in the set for me were Victim Of Changes, Scream Machine, Heart Of A Killer, Grinder, Stand Up And Shout and Heaven And Hell. Also Ripper does an awesome rendition of Painkiller. I ended up filming some of the gig for the band for which they gave me cds of Jugulator, Demolition, 98 Live Meltdown and a gig poster, all of which Ripper signed which was wicked.

So Ripper Owens is playing in Wellington this Friday and on Monday my friend texts me saying I have a job that you might be very interested in. I rang him up and he is friends with the promoter of the show and he needs someone to drive Ripper and his band around while they are here. Said I was interested and the promoter got in touch with me today with the itinerary. So at lunch time on Friday I'm picking Ripper Owens and his band up at the airport and driving them around for 24 hours. Pretty sweet deal, free tix to the show, hang with the band. Can't wait.
Check out Metal Meltdown 109 at the link below. Just click on the mp3 file when you get there. Bands you can hear this week include God Forbid, Alice In Chains, Evile and Trouble plus the album of the week is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, Judas Priest's 1990 masterpiece, PAINKILLER.
Volbeat are awesome man. They are from Denmark and are huge over in Europe. Kind of like rock n roll with a heavy metal twist. Anselmo is one of the best vocalists in metal I think.
Yeah, Why not though? I'm not a huge Limp Bizkit fan, and their lyrics are stupid, but they are heavy as fuck when they want to be and I like to keep the show diverse. You're actually the second person whose said it was good to hear them so I'm pretty happy about that. Cheers Bud.
Should I mention that I thought I was the only one here who would listen to them.
I think Wes Borland is one of the best guitarists out there. I saw them at Rock on the Range
two summers ago and loved them. Even though it will get me laughed at here()
I think they are one of the heaviest "live" bands and the new album isn't bad either.

Cheers Necro, agree with you there on Triptykon, they are definately on another level from all the other bands out there. Electric Wizard are probably the ultimate doomy, sludgy, stoner metal band around, cool band I reckon. FOTN I'd never heard of until recently when I read an interview with the main bloke so thought I'd give them a listen. From what I read their live shows are quite an event.....What did you think of them??
I will try and play that Mortiis song for you in the next couple of weeks.
Some good tunes there! Triptykon are the next level of 'heavy' & Electric Wizard can seriously damage ur mind...lol. Fields Of The Nephilim....omg..saw them live back in the day...i'd have followed that with Mortiis - Parasite God...just differing levels of what we call 'rock'.

Pissing me off (apart from taxes?) the damn visa charge and all the hoops you have to jump through to go to Brazil!!! $160USD plus pictures (expensive passport one, of course), bank statements from the previous three months, paid return express postage, letter explaining why you are there, etc?!? WTF!!!!!
I know that it is just them getting back at the USA that makes them do the same thing but, DAMN. If I declared Mexican status, I'd only have to pay $30.
Racism. Pure racism. Worse? Only good for three months. I have to jump these hoops every fucking trip.
I'll spare you guys the reviews or at least keep them to a minimum.
I enjoyed last night.

Huh. While interesting and I am glad that you are in a location that allows you to see so many bands, I cannot help but say that I don't know if I'd pay to see too many of them. Rob Zombie (perhaps), Anthrax (I have seen a bunch of times and never thought that they were more than a warmup / over-hyped cover band...Scott Ian playing this one?), Megadeth (I have seen numerous times and can't say that I like their / his? new material...after all, one man show), Motorhead (again, seen countless times...always solid and good) and Slayer (again, seen countless times and they don't inspire me). Certainly nothing new.
The rest? Well, glad that you want and are able to see them. Call me old. We'll leave it at that. Were they in my backyard, my opinion might change. No matter what, I still await your reviews. Cheers. (Quoting Message by Budred from Monday, April 16, 2012 6:22:02 PM)

year and it would be too costly to try that every year. I still plan on seeing some shows though.
4/17 Nothing and Tenafly Viper (both MRH vocalists fronting their own bands) (Cleveland)
4/22 Soulfly (Pittsburgh)
5/17 Mushroomhead (Pittsburgh)
5/20 Rock on the Range (Columbus) (only going one day this year)
Rob Zombie / Marilyn Manson / Megadeth / Anthrax / Mastodon / Volbeat / The Darkness (time to hit concession stand)
Down / Escape The Fate / Lacuna Coil / Black Stone Cherry / Attack Attack / Trivium / Redlight King / James Durbin /
Aranda / 12 Stones / Soil / Eye To Adam / Ghosts Of August
7/ 28 Mayhem Festival (Burgettstown, Pa.)
Slipknot / Slayer / Anthrax / Motorhead / Whitechapel / As I Lay Dying (others)
....these are what I have tickets for. I'll probably get to about three or four more so it should still be a cool summer. Now I just hope
Five Finger Death Punch comes around. I love their new album and I thought they kicked ass the last time I saw them so I'm
thinking they will be the band to see this summer. What sucks is that they are at Rock on the Range on Saturday but the rest of the
line-up is so weak I'm passing.
@Vail ...I'm not expecting change I just needed to chill. (more positive posts)(hopefully)(LOL)

I didn't say the show you were at was bad. Or that he didn't produce a great performance at that show. What I'm getting at is that overall, both live and album wise, the band is on the decline. Some of those who have seen the band many times agree. Age is part of it but I really think the band are together for the money more than anything else these days. If a new album comes out this year I could be proven wrong but I can't see them releasing anything groundbreaking or exceptional. Some fans love AOR, I think it's ok but far from their best. Nostra we all pretty much agree is rubbish. The track record since the reunion is patchy. KK is gone, crowds are waning. I just reckon it's time for this band to call it a day. I would hate to see them fizzle out.
My show isn't an internet radio show. It is broadcast over the air in our area. The show just goes on the station website so that anyone whose interested outside our area can check it out. Being that there's metal fans on this site I thought posting a link might be a good idea so some of them could listen if they wanted to. Do you think I should stop posting links and setlists from each show? Or maybe stop doing the show entirely?

Now which is it, JJ? First you rip on Vail because she is apparently too young to have any sort of valid judgement when she says that she really liked a show or two. Then, when some of us "old folks" who have seen Priest MANY more times than you call bullshit on your comments for a concert you haven't even seen, you claim that we are also wrong. WTF?! Do I need to have an internet radio show once a week to say what I like and what I don't? Sorry, I was only the host of a real metal radio show back in the 90s. Too old to count in your book, I guess.
HRMG said it perfectly well. I have given up entire summer vacations to following Priest and, like any band, they have good nights and bad ones. Wish I had the interview at hand when Rob says that he tries to give it his all at every show but that, sometimes, his vocal chords didn't permit. KK said the same when he commented on some of his ad-libs. Sometimes they work and sometimes the whole band rolls their eyes at him. All we (or, I, at least) have said was that HAMMOND was a killer show! Sold-out crowd to interact with a magical and spot-on performance. While I was also in Detroit, I agree that Hammond was the one that should have been recorded. It was pure magic. I cannot and DO not claim the same for even the Montreal, Detroit, Nashville shows last time around.
Keep on promoting your radio show, buddy. Listing tracks and talking smack about what you haven't experienced seems to be your forté.

The real reason they are "only going to do the odd festival gig" from now on is because there's 20 other bands there to drag the audience in. They can't do it on their own.

Maybe Priest should set up a refund for fans that were disappointed as you were from your first post responding to the Cleveland show Budred,that way you could get back your hard earned money since you didn't think it was worth it and since its the last time you will ever see Priest live again regardless if they came again or not.
If my stomach wasn't all fucked up in October I would of went to the show and enjoyed every bit of it because of the "spirit" of Judas Priest as a "cult follower".

You left me out of that statement, JJ. I have been around and watching Priest / Halford since JD and Bud and I couldn't disagree more. The Priest concert in Hammond, IL (Chicago) was one of the most earth-shaking performances of any band I have seen. Halford claims to have given up smoking and I say that he has never been stronger. Only thing close was Painkiller Tour, IMO. Adding Richie to the mix, while not KK, was a genuine treat.
"Energetic" is a subjective term but, damn, were they on top of their game in Hammond. "Halford can hardly walk" is WAY off the mark. IMHO, at least. I just hope some bootleg will surface from that show to help prove the point.

But you have nothing to compare their live performance to Vail. The only time you've seen them has been in the last few years. Ask guys like JD and Budred who saw them in the 80s when they were at their peak and they'll tell you that this band is in decline and anyone who tells you Halfords voice is as good as ever is just lying. His high vocals are completely shot to hell. He doesn't scream any more, he screeches. And if you call Priests performance "energetic" then I'd hate to see a band who you thought were lethargic. Halford can hardly walk now, hobbling around, hunched over the mike trying to read the teleprompter and screeching two cats stapled together. They've got nothing left. They were once my favourite band but over the last few years I just can't be bothered.

Hey, it could be worse. The band could've made an album with Lou Reed.
I do agree with JD in that JP is misusing their time somewhat, as they could've done a new album first and then do their final tour. However, I don't agree with JJ nor Budred about the live performances. Judas Priest have been nothing short of incredible as far as live acts go. Nobody that I've seen live so far has delivered a performance as energetic, aesthetically pleasing, professional, and complex as JP has. In fact, I wish they could continue touring even if Rob ends up in a wheelchair. At least it would be decorated with spikes and skulls and shoot flames from the back. Plus they have Richie now. New blood=new ideas=higher possibility of a kickass album.

Hey, it could be worse. The band could've made an album with Lou Reed.
I do agree with JD in that JP is misusing their time somewhat, as they could've done a new album first and then do their final tour. However, I don't agree with JJ nor Budred about the live performances. Judas Priest have been nothing short of incredible as far as live acts go. Nobody that I've seen live so far has delivered a performance as energetic, aesthetically pleasing, professional, and complex as JP has. In fact, I wish they could continue touring even if Rob ends up in a wheelchair. At least it would be decorated with spikes and skulls and shoot flames from the back. Plus they have Richie now. New blood=new ideas=higher possibility of a kickass album.

Bollocks. The band has descended into irrelevance. The only people keen to hear what they come up with next are the core dozen or so people who regularly post on this site. The rest of the audience are just keen to hear the same old set they've been cranking out since 82. They are, I'm sad to say, a nostalgia act now and one that can't fill arenas at that. This is not a band at the top otf their game. Being able to play your set competently doesn't mean your at the top of your game. You would hope after 30 years they could do that with there eyes closed. When a band is at the top they are generating excitement among the fans. This band does not do that any more. They are trying to scrape every last cent out of it before they have to start wheeling the Metal God out there in a wheelchair.
they may not be selling out stadiums but they are totaly on their game this tour.

I have no doubt there will be a live album and dvd from this tour. Not that anyone will care or purchase it. They need to put out lives from the Painkiller and DOTF tours and also release the SFV one as a CD. No-one gives a shit now. What's the point of keeping for posterity performances from when you are well past your peak and unable to fill arenas and denying your fans performances from when you are at the top of your game? Weird.

Been listening to my old Liege Lord CD these last few weeks and I posted this back in late 2005,listen to the last track "Fallout" right at the :27 mark as it totally sounds
like K.K. and Glenn's intro to the song "Hellrider" from 2005's Angel Of Retribution. I highly doubt K.K. or Glenn have heard this album before so its a coincidence but wierd.

I haven't heard much of them. Get the impression that they are one of the new breed of metal bands that are more style than substance with designer tatts and $300 haircuts, average musicianship, cliched songs etc. Could be wrong though, but as far as new stuff goes the best of it is coming from the underground scene. Most of these young mainstream metal acts are shit I think. I feel the same about Avenged Sevenfold, Bring Me The Horizon, Rise To Remain etc.
Well, you're entitled to that opinion and it's probably shared by many here. Some of their stuff
is a little weak but some of it isn't that bad. I like songs like "Pain", "Riot", "The Good Life", and
a few others. They should have been tolerable at worst. Their singer ruined any chance of that.
I respect your opinion when it comes to music. Even though it won't change the way I feel about them
tell me what you think of Bullet For My Valentine. I only got into these guys last year after seeing them
at Rock On The Range. Now, after seeing them 3 times I'm starting to love these guys. They are so
much better than I realized. Your thoughts?

Bullshit, the reason the band is fucked up now is because they've never stuck to their guns and because they don't actually like each other and are doing this, not because Priest still have things to prove or say, but because it is a business arrangement that is mutually beneficial to all parties concerned. They can all make more money as "Priest" than they can apart. Seriously, the Halford band is releasing shit and would be lucky to fill medium size clubs were it to tour alone, Glenn Tipton's solo album is abysmal and only sold 11 copies worldwide and Ian Hill hasn't written a song in over 30 years.
lol Jimmy...."K.K." could be the reason the band is fucked up now as his Nostradamus ideas ( and yes K.K. started the Nostradamus project /ideas ) are the reason the band started to degenerate into a farce,if he would of shut his ego mouth and just followed Rob and Glenn into another normal metal album instead of dreaming up Nostradamus the band would of had a british metal album out already,Rob and Glenn realized that ending a career on Nostradamus seemed wrong....unlike "K.K.'' who was absolutely fine with that being the last Judas Priest album.....go figure....just my guess from what I know....
They were forced into a British Steel reunion tour because Ken didn't want to make another album and was still in the band and the management did not want to tour the nostradamus album like K.K. wanted to because it would not sell,so there ya go...but I do agree that the band & management are rehashing these lame compilation albums/live/best of.....it is a joke so I do agree with that. Now go figure....K.K. is out of the band and Rob and Glenn want to do a normal british heavy metal album again.....its sad to say but I believe K.K. was the entire downfall of Judas Priest starting in 2006 when the Retribution tour was over and when he started to create Nostradamus.
How could K.K. let Nostradamus be the last album in a "heavy metal "band's career? It just doesn't make any sense at all.....I'm glad Rob and Glenn are making at least one more album to top Nostradamus from being the last LP,no matter how good or bad it is it will definately be better than the shitty Nostralullaby album.

This band is done. It's all descended into a joke. Honestly, the reality is this band are a joke now. Just a bunch of over the hill rip off merchants. I can't believe people on this site bag Maiden and stick up for these guys who haven't done anything decent since 1990. Yeah I'm sure the band have nothing to do with this, it's all management, Yeah right. I reckon KK left because he'd had a gutsful of this kind of shit. I think the real story is that they agreed to do a farewell tour and end it, the others welched and said "We want to do another shitty album and flog this dead horse some more" and he said "In that case I'm leaving because I don't want to see the band I started degenerate into a farce". Which it has.
And despite what everyone on this site seems to think, Rob has lost it. He just sounds screechy and irritating now.

Looking forward to seeing those pics when you get a chance. I couldn't think of Pizarro's name before, cheers for jogging the memory. I lived over there for a couple of years to too, loved it. Sometimes wish I'd never left.
Nice about your pop. I lived in Spain for a number of years (Salamanca) and work still takes me all around the country regularly. Costa del Sol / Málaga / Torremolinos up to Pamplona / Logroño usually. I was there when ETA declared their last "cease fire" and, luckily, just missed the bombings of the train stations in Madrid that essentially ousted Aznar from an almost certain re-election. I was still in country but had gone to Toledo for the week.
I'll have to remember this thread. I just missed being blown across the street by the bombings of a British Airlines office in downtown Madrid. My first thought? Grab my Kodak instamatic camera and snap some shots! I have two plus the newspaper clipping as it hit the international news quickly. Amazingly so as it was pre-cable.
BTW, PIZARRO was the true badass in the Conquest. When he takes the Inca, they knew he was coming.

I would like to see that photo. While I was there you would hear about a car being blown up in Madrid or something quite regularly on the news. It's pretty terrible to have that going on in such a great country. My dad is actually on holiday over there at the moment.

HAAA!! Hey, now. What about their Civil Wars? They fought them (and, as some would argue, are STILL fighting them) for decades if not centuries! One even ended with the beautiful (he says jokingly) union of the Catholic Monarchs that finally united Castilla-León with their arch enemies in Aragón. How about the Basque Separatists? The vasquense have been bombing the hell out of the federalist government for eons. I was almost blown up in one of their damn attacks (I have great photos of that one!).
Kidding aside, the Spanish Armada was the dominant maritime force throughout the 15th and into the 16th centuries. Only true rival was Portugal at the time which, of course, was already part of Iberian Peninsula. In all my travels, I don't bump into many English-speakers in Central or South America. Carlos V (I) was both the King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. As they say "during his reign, the sun never set on his empire." Clearly the first world Empire. Not too many Romans made it across the sea.
Fickle finger of fate did hit them but it was also accompanied by hyperinflation and huge debt at home. Kinda sounds like the USA. Still, your comment makes me think of the greay Sargent Hartman (R. Lee Ermey - woo hoo!) from Full Metal Jacket and his tirade at Private "Gomer Pile."
To paraphrase: "If God had wanted you up here (on this obstacle), he would have MIRACLED your ass up here by now!" lol Same could apply to the famous Armada Invencible Española....except that Private Pile had a better commander!

And the fact that when it comes to war the Spanish are bloody hopeless. Of the 8 or 9 wars they've been involved in in Europe they've lost them all. So I would say regardless of the weather the English would have snotted the Spanish in that one, vastly superior armada or not. Maybe God just stepped in so the inevitable Spanish defeat wouldn't be quite so embarrassing for them.

They were definately one of the best sailing to foreign lands and wiping out the primitive, indigenous inhabitants. Kudos must go to Hernando Cortez and co, they really set the benchmark.
I would like to see that photo. While I was there you would hear about a car being blown up in Madrid or something quite regularly on the news. It's pretty terrible to have that going on in such a great country. My dad is actually on holiday over there at the moment.
HAAA!! Hey, now. What about their Civil Wars? They fought them (and, as some would argue, are STILL fighting them) for decades if not centuries! One even ended with the beautiful (he says jokingly) union of the Catholic Monarchs that finally united Castilla-León with their arch enemies in Aragón. How about the Basque Separatists? The vasquense have been bombing the hell out of the federalist government for eons. I was almost blown up in one of their damn attacks (I have great photos of that one!).
Kidding aside, the Spanish Armada was the dominant maritime force throughout the 15th and into the 16th centuries. Only true rival was Portugal at the time which, of course, was already part of Iberian Peninsula. In all my travels, I don't bump into many English-speakers in Central or South America. Carlos V (I) was both the King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. As they say "during his reign, the sun never set on his empire." Clearly the first world Empire. Not too many Romans made it across the sea.
Fickle finger of fate did hit them but it was also accompanied by hyperinflation and huge debt at home. Kinda sounds like the USA. Still, your comment makes me think of the greay Sargent Hartman (R. Lee Ermey - woo hoo!) from Full Metal Jacket and his tirade at Private "Gomer Pile."
To paraphrase: "If God had wanted you up here (on this obstacle), he would have MIRACLED your ass up here by now!" lol Same could apply to the famous Armada Invencible Española....except that Private Pile had a better commander!

And the fact that when it comes to war the Spanish are bloody hopeless. Of the 8 or 9 wars they've been involved in in Europe they've lost them all. So I would say regardless of the weather the English would have snotted the Spanish in that one, vastly superior armada or not. Maybe God just stepped in so the inevitable Spanish defeat wouldn't be quite so embarrassing for them.

How about the most well known Priest songs vs the most well known Maiden. YGATC vs Run To The Hills, BTL vs The Number Of The Beast, Turbo Lover vs The Trooper.
It is a shame. You would think they could just say "Bloody Hell, we've done some pretty amazing stuff together over the years and we couldn't have done it without each other. Lets just bury hatchet and carry on doing it without bitching at each other" You would think that if they can get through their 20s and 30s with no problems that everything else would be easy. Really this kind of shit going on in your 40s 50s and 60s is crazy.
I have to agree with you there..... this is a business arrangement now. So very sad that it should all end this way. And if they do a bloody acoustic album, I'm gonna take a sledgehammer to it!!

Bud, a placemat is what you put your plate on when you're having dinner. People don't step on it unless they are walking on your table. I believe you are thinking of a doormat. That's the thing you wipe your feet on before you go inside.

You Don't Know What It's Like! wrote:
I think Maiden got the upper hand on Priest round about 1986 when they released the "Somewhere In Time" album, which (IMO) was the superior guitar synth experiment to "Turbo".
Maiden then consolidated this with the very successful concept album which was "Seventh Son", while Priest tried to regain lost ground with "Ram It Down".
By 1990 Priest had managed to regain the upper hand (& how) with the phenomenal "Painkiller" album, while Maiden seemed to be running out of ideas with "No Prayer For The Dying" (the first album without Adrian Smith on guitar).
Then tragedy strikes Priest with Rob leaving, but all is not lost as Bruce then decides to leave Maiden - so things are equal again.
Both bands release inferior works during this mid to late 1990's period, but the real difference is when Rob & Bruce decide to return.
Maiden get a good running start with "Brave New World" coming out in 2000, a good five years before Priest's "Angel Of Retribution" (which itself comes out two years after Rob's return, and also Maiden's 2nd reunion album "Dance Of Death").
Then again in 2006 Maiden release one of their most successful albums ever in "A Matter Of Life & Death", while two years after that Priest put out the luke warm recieved concept "Nostradamus" and don't even tour it properly.
Priest now seem to be losing fans, while Maiden are playing to around 25% more fans with each tour.
2010 comes & Maiden release "The Final Frontier", while Priest announce that their next "Epitaph" tour (with no album in support) will be their last (world tour), and to make matters even worse in 2011 annouce that this will be without K.K. Downing as well.
Priest ruled the 70's. Shared the 80's. Got lost in the 90's & have been left standing ever since.
If they did an unplugged album I would be forced to go into another of my "ripping off their fans by failing to put out new material and rehashing stuff we've already heard" tirades. I feel I would have no other choice.

Mustaine found God a few years ago and is now a christian. It doesn't come up in Megadeths music though. New album due from them in November I think it is. It's called Thirteen. Should be awesome if it's anything like United Abominations or Endgame. Mustaine reckons it's some of his best stuff.
Sweet. I stayed in Kelowna when I was in Canada, my buddy lives there. I wish they'd toured when I was there. That will be an awesome show man, hope you can get a couple of pictures, would love to see them
Sounds to me like he could see what was going on up front as well as what was happening on the fringes, maybe he was backstage. Turns out it was a review from the Wacken Open Air Festival so after a couple of days of hard out moshing maybe the crowd were exhausted. Ozzy had the benefit of playing to them 24 hours earlier when they weren't so tired, hence the energy levels were higher when he played. He never at any point says that Priest played badly. He just says the crowd weren't as into it as they were the night before. More to the point, what I want to know is, with the back catalogue Priest have, why the fuck are they playing Prophecy of all songs? Tedious, unimaginative, standard metal riffs with annoying screechy voacls, stupid lyrics and the dumbest chorus ever a five year old could have thought up. If they are gonna crank out 15-20 songs that one doesn't deserve to be in there when thay have so many awesome tunes to pick from.

This is understandable, I think, because Ozzy has a much wider audience than what Priest has and even people who weren't diehard Ozzy fans would be familiar with the majority of his set. Hence the reason they perked up a bit when BTL was played. To tell you the truth I, as a big Priest fan for 20 years, would probably use Prophecy as a reason to go and grab a beer too. Also by the sounds of it this was a festival show so it's understandable that the crowds enthusiasm might have waned a little after however many hours moshing. And being a festival not necessarily everyone is there to see Priest anyway. I actually thought it was quite a favourable review and maybe it was taken as part of a review from the festival as a whole rather than a critique of Priests set alone.

Not sure what the story is there but if you click on this link and then click on where it says "27 metal meltdown69.mp3" it should just start playing the show. It might take a few seconds if your computer is slow but it should work.
The first time I checked out your radio show I had to download it to listen.
Then I read where others had to also and you wrote that they didn't. Anyway, I
went back when you put the Red Fang up and I couldn't figure out how to play
it so I ran the file. The first time I did that it saved to my computer so I thought it
did this time also. It didn't or I can't find it. I don't have it and was too embarassed
to ask you how to listen to your show without downloading it. So, I never heard it.
I'll video a song from Machine Head. I have pit passes so the footage should be awesome
but the closer to the stage you are the worse the sound is so it may not be worth watching.
That new song is pretty good. At first I thought it was a little long but it freakin' jams. Keep
this thread alive man. I think it's a great idea. When I was young you didn't have anything like
this to turn you on to things you haven't heard. It was radio, word of mouth, and magazine, so
I'm sure all us us were missing shit back in the day. This would have been so cool. Young

Yeah I was thinking about Pantera too but if I really compared the two Metallica were probably better at their peak. I would have to say that if you took Metallicas first five and Pantera from Cowboys through to Reinventing Metallica would probably have the edge, for me anyway. The amount of times I've listened to Ride The Lightning over the years completely dwarfs the amount of time I've listened to Vulgar Display. Megadeth is a good call. They are definately bringing out way better shit than Metallica these days. Saw an interview with Mustaine the other day actually and he reckons the material he's working on now is his best since Countdown. But yeah they've been consistantly good for a long time but they've never reached the heights of Metallica, they've never reached the lows either. Slayer are pretty consistant too, never put out a bad album. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Wednesday, June 29, 2011 6:53:07 AM)

If you want to base an opinion on their first five albums then I agree with you. No one has done what they have.
That also makes me correct in saying they were the greatest for a period. If you want to base it on an entire history or catalog
then I would say maybe Pantera. They put out some pretty heavy shit that might equal what Metallica did. My top answer
for overall consistancy and longevity would be Megadeth. They (in my opinion) have yet to release an album that is utter crap.
You even stated they were better than Metallica on the Big Four so that tells me they still have it. I'm going to see them next
month and I can't wait. Lastly, "Any" metal band putting out good albums is better than current Metallica.
I'm not bashing Metallica. Up to a certain point I thought they were great and like you state maybe the best "American" metal
band out there. All I'm saying is that they're not so great anymore.
Here's an advance track from the new Machinehead album due out in September. If the whole album is like this it could well be album of the year. Machineheads last two albums have both been awesome and judging by this song this new album is going to be great as well.
It won't result in a back and forth. I just can't think of any band from the States that has even come close to achieving what Metallica has. Granted, their stuff from Load onwards is not as good as the first five albums but what other band has released five albums as good as those in quality?

I think these two albums started their slide towards suckdom. Then too much experimentation killed them. They were the
greatest "American" metal band for a period. From "Load" on, not even close.

What they need to do is go back to listening to the old British metal albums of the 80s like Maiden and Diamond Head and Venom and Motorhead that they used to listen to and just speed that stuff up.

Ok, who are the greatest American metal band ever then? (Don't say Mushroomhead either). [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Monday, June 27, 2011 7:08:04 AM)

I think after the "Black" album they did get a little lazy. There at least didn't seem to be much of an effort to put out
heavy metal records anymore. The "Load" album proved that with garbage like "King Nothing" and "Hero of the Day"
and a number of other shit songs on that one. "Re-Load" was a little better but still not up to par with their early material.

Hey everyone. The latest Metal Meltdown show is able to be listened to now at http://www.coastaccessradio.org.nz/Metal_Meltdown.html Just click on the mp3 file when you get there. Bands you can hear this week include Meshuggah, Infectious Grooves, Ministry, King Diamond and Mastodon. Also there is a classic Priest track in there for you all. If you have any requests send me a PM or post it in here and I'll play it for you.
JD still no luck with Call To Arms however I have put some live Saxon in there for you. Taken from their performance at the very first Donington Festival way back in 1980. (Priest were also on the bill). Hope you like it.
I have also started a facebook page for the show so if anyone wants to check that out here is the link. Feel free to post photos, music videos, thoughts, recommendations and requests on there.
That is amazing news, congratulations. Start writing your acceptance speech and no Marlon Brando antics. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Thursday, June 23, 2011 9:22:07 PM)

You work for peanuts and you really wonder if ANYONE is watching or even cares! It is an amazing feeling to actually get some recognition!!
Its a FAR cry from the kind of thing PRIEST does and yet, they had their days just like these! Of course, they were MUCH younger then!! HA!!!!!!!! The Princess constantly tells me that I should have stayed with this thirty years ago. Of course, she is right! Ah well, what else is new?
Hey guys. Just created a Metal Meltdown facebook page. I will be posting links to the show, setlists of the songs I play on each show, music videos, photos etc. It would be cool if those of you that are on facebook could check it out and give it a like.

JD, still no luck with Call To Arms but I will keep trying.
Exactly. United is not in any way thrash. Maybe Rapid Fire and Steeler but not United. Also if someone thinks Living After Midnight is the stand out track they have no business writing articles or even making passing comments on anything to do with metal. You can't really take Amazon reviews seriously though. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Thursday, June 16, 2011 4:13:00 PM)
Head banger wrote:
fine and all, everyone can have an opinion.
how the fuck did United influence the thrash genre?
1: "With the exception of Point of Entry this is Judas Priests weakest album. I remember distinctly the disappointment expressed upon its release after the excellent Unleashed In The East live album and Stained Class. Yet British Steel now (20+ years after release) seems to be heralded as not only a Judas Priest classic but a heavy metal classic! Not so........
It's not bad; it just isn't anywhere near as good (great, brilliant..whatever) that some later day Priest fans and press seem to be stating.
The songs are simplistic - with more than a nod and a wink at early seventies 'anthem' songs by people such as The Sweet, Slade, Suzi Quatro and Wizard - the production and general feel is very "boxed-in-studio" if you know what I mean; with no live excitement. The lyrics also border on the "metal by numbers" approach of lesser bands.
Yes Judas Priest maybe metal gods but it is their other albums that you will have to listen to verify this."
2:"Lauded as the greatest album Judas Priest ever made, I was personally pretty dissapointed with British Steel. Whilst I concede that it's getting on a bit, most of the songs are let down by poor production values and overly simplistic drumming. Tellingly, Judas Priest have now overhauled many of the tracks present here for their live set (as the version of Rapid Fire on '98 Live Meltdown' shows), and the originals sound tame in comparison.
'Breaking The Law', and 'Living After Midnight' are classics, and I think you could quite reliably make a case for 'United' influencing the thrash genre, but nothing else stands out for me. Try before you buy."
3:"What can I say? Judas Priest are one of the biggest and most influential bands in the history of Heavy Metal, and as a very large number of fans and critics alike would have you believe, ‘British Steel‘ is their greatest work. However, compare it with some of their other releases, and it sounds incredibly tame.
The opener, "Rapid Fire" isn’t bad at all. Particularly fast and energetic, and containing some awesome solos, it’s a great way to open the album, but unfortunately not a sign of things to come. The next track, "Metal Gods" chugs along well enough, until the chorus comes up. It’s boring, unnecessary, and it baffles me as to why it is revered as a classic. There is probably no point at all in mentioning "Breaking the Law", as there is no–one in the world who is fit to call themselves a metal fan if they haven’t heard it. However, along with the excellent sing–along "Living After Midnight", this is the best track on the album.
The rest of the album is above average, but completely unessential, containing none of the energy Priest but into their later works. It’s entertaining, but definitely not deserving of ‘classic’ status.
Yes, Judas Priest were Metal Gods. However, this is not them album which earned them this accolade. I’ll be sticking to Painkiller, thank you very much."
4:"Everyone is saying how great this album is and that it's one of the best metal albums ever, well it's not. Granted it does have some kick ass tracks on Like Breaking The Law, Rapid Fire, Grinder & Metal Gods the i'd hardly call metal. After those tracks it just gets boring. Why is this hailed as a classic why. Do yourself a favour go away from this and buy a real classic which is The Number Of The Beast By Iron Maiden. UP THE IRONS."
I think the 14th is when it comes out officially. I'm actually looking forward to it too after the rave reviews it's been getting around here. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 10, 2011 4:50:46 PM)

What I see is a band that is trying to milk every last cent out of things. There's not a shred of integrity about anything they have been doing lately.

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if you are really a fan when 99% of your posts are wailing on Priest. Yeah you've said before, if they do something you think is stupid you'll call them out (as most of us do, but I also think most of us focus on the positive), but MAN if I have seen you write one good thing I can't think of it.

Pretty fucking gay that they have seating at a heavy metal show anyway. Over here you have floor tickets and seats. If you're on the floor you can push your way to the front, If you want to chill in the stands you buy a seat. When I went to Canada I went to see Priest and it was just floor or stands so if you wanted to be at the front you could.
Beastwars are definately New Zealands best metal band. Make sure you check out this weeks Metal Meltdown show, I played the first single off the new Red Fang album for you.

These guys fit right in with that. I'll be seeing them again in July. I'll try to get more video. You don't

mark up until about the 5 minute mark. It's pretty crazy.
You would have to say that the classic Priest line-up included Dave Holland. He was the drummer when they were at the peak of their success and played on more classic albums than anyone else. Binks played on three classic albums and Travis has only played on one. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brian_Evans from Thursday, May 26, 2011 5:08:54 PM)

Yeah it would be cool if he was still alive. But he's dead so it's very uncool. I just looked up Thin Lizzy on Wikipedia, you should see some of the people who are "in Thin Lizzy" these days.

If Phil were still alive, I could see it, as they used to tour the same circuts in the UK long ago. That would have been cool, instead of lame.

I'm all over the place with music but these guys are a little weak. I do like about 4 songs on the All American Nightmare CD though.
The thing about Steel Panther is that they're basically a parody. I would have to drive 2 hours up and back and then up again the
next morning. Then 2 days of ROTR. That's a little much for me.

I was just kidding with that Ozzy comment.Ha! Yeah a young singer might be just what they need, bring in some new blood. I don't think Rob Halford though.

One thing I'll say about Priest is that they have really picked some good groups with which to share the road over the years.
Can't possibly think of them all but Alice, Heaven and Hell, Queensryche really top the list.
Awseome Becks, one of the best gigs I've been too. Check out the pic. I'm in the front row by the top left hand corner of the speaker, guy with glasses behind me, guy with checkered shirt next to me.

Well man you answered the wrong question but I must say I was very impressed with what you wrote.
Completely honest, well thought out and very well written. I agree with most of what you say except I'm
glad they kept going after Painkiller. I liked Ripper and live I thought he was great. I also think some of
their heaviest music was on those two albums. I wish Jugulator was produced better and Demolition
could have dropped a few songs but overall I liked them. On the Demolition tour Ripper was much better live
and (in my opinion) did a few songs better than Rob (currently) can. Diamonds and Rust is one.
When Rob came back of course I was happy.
I liked Angel of Retribution but from that point on I have been disapointed with Priest. I despise
Nostradamus. I loved that tour (because) they only did 2 songs from the Cd and still sounded great live.
I also liked the British Steel tour because for me it was a nastalgia thing. Since then I've just wanted a
good album but they've taken so long and with K.K. gone their time may be up. I'll go to the last tour if it
turns out to be so just to see them one last time. I'll reserve judgement on a new album until I hear it. Otherwise I
think you're completely right. It is turning into a cash grab. Too many live albums even though I love Live in
London. I agree with everything you said about Rob also. Dude you're a smart person and most of my lessons
here have come from you. My only problem with you is that you're so antagonistic. You do it to multiple people.
You pissed me off beyond belief but when it's all said and done I dig you because you're so straight forward and
you generally tell the truth (although sometimes with exaggeration), and you don't back down. Oh' and the
question was why do you stay here?

Most people posting here seem to know quite a bit about guitars. I got one for christmas and I need to learn how
to play it. I Know an old man who is a country musician. He lowered the strings closer to the neck for me. He gave me
a "Bad Monkey" tube overdrive and a "Main Squeeze" compressor. I bought a Korg tuner and he showed me how to
tune my guitar. The only thing now is to start learning. Is their anyone here willing to help a newbie. I was hoping
someone here could suggest a site to teach me some "simple" things to practice and help myself get started. I've
never touched a guitar before so any advice has to be simplistic. Could anyone tell me what these pedals do. Any
advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm to old to become a musician but I've always wanted to play
a guitar. I don't expect to get great I just want to learn to play something. If you guys only want to talk to advanced players
it's all good. Thanks, regardless. Peace!
Yes, not a patch on the original with Macchio and Morita. I still watch it every time it's on, seen it about 900 times so far. They should have brought Ralph Macchio in for a cameo somehow. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Sunday, May 08, 2011 9:02:55 PM)

Forget water-bording. This film was pure torture and will be deleted and zero-ed out of my harddrive. Avoid like the plague. Must go vomit....
Personally I can't believe people are blaming management alone for what has happened. The guys in the band are just as much to blame if not more so. I don't believe for one second that they have absolutely zero control over their band, the direction it takes and the decisions they make. This is just the latest in 30 years of crappy decisions Priest have made since 1981. The tour is a farce, the tickets were sold under false pretences and I am predicting a rather boring, metal by numbers kind of album in the vein of the Halford band. By that I mean competant but not spectacular.
I am going to the Disturbed show tonight. Not really my thing but nothing better to do on a Wednesday night and they are playing with Trivium and another band so it should be worth it. Fingers crossed.
These guys are interesting, Skyforger. They are from Latvia and their style is Folk / Pagan metal. All their songs are based on traditional Latvian tales and myths. Cool bagpipes in this tune as well.

Actually Jimmy I'm not trying to encourage people to get behind the new line up,I'm challenging them to say "some" of the same things about the band after they hear this next Priest album. And at first I said I wouldn't see them live,but I changed my mind,so yes I'll see them live unless they don't come here.
And I haven't seen Priest since the 1988 Ram It Down tour....they didn't come to Seattle for the Painkiller tour or I would of went,and I missed the 2004 Reunion tour and unfortunately the Angel of Retribution tour as I had other things going on in my life I don't care to discuss beings its a long story but it was never because I didn't agree with what they were doing.....
Except the Nostradamus tour....thats when I bought tickets to the show but I had only heard one song "Calm Before The storm/Nostradamus which still is the only song I like on the entire album,so I gave my tickets to a friend and he saw the show. I was too "butt hurt" to see them because my expectations and hopes for Nostradamus were so high it was an utter letdown and it pissed me off to say the least. I'm still glad I didn't go.
They never toured here for the British Steel reunion tour,so yeah I still haven't seen them since 1988,but it doesn't bother me. So yeah thats the only time I didn't agree with what they are doing.

I don't know this and its just a guess,but I've got the feeling that K.K. had got "bored" with "metal" all together. I think this is why he left the band because Rob and Glenn want a strong metal record and I think K.K. wanted to either have Nostradamus be the last Priest studio LP or wanted to dabble in more experimental material. I think this is the breakdown within the band and the management sided in with Rob and Glenn about creating another strong "metal" album.

Last night, I had a weird dream. It took place in a fairly strange rendition of Helsinki. I was going to school, and just missed a strange type of a tram - strange in that instead of going on the ground, the tracks we're laid out on the sides of the buildings...
Anyway, I then went inside a cafe that was next to the tram stop. I went in there to see if the timetables for the tram line were there. They weren't, but instead there was a huge poster advertising Judas Priest's Epitaph tour! But there were a few strange things about it. First off, it'd be really strange if JP was advertised so much in Finland - unfortunately, for some reason the band isn't as popular here as other metal bands are. Secondly, there were multiple tour dates on the poster, as if they would have more than just one concert here (the only time Priest has been here more than once on a single tour was on the Retribution tour, with three gigs). And thirdly, a couple of the band members looked weird. I could recognize Glenn, Ian and Scott easily, but the other guitarist was a complete stranger (I guess it was my mind's rendition of Richie Faulkner, although it only remotely looked like him). And the vocalist, who was pictured much bigger than the others and standing away from them, was sort of a weird hybrid of Rob and Ripper - imagine a bald Ripper Owens with Rob's sunglasses and you're pretty close. The dream went on from that but that was the most interesting part. I was really like "WTF?" the next morning.
Right again. As with everything else with this band since Halford returned the bottom line has been how to milk it for as much money as possible. Nobody here needs to know why KK left, it's obvious anyway. One party can't stand the other party. The fact is Priest have been underhanded and sneaky and have ripped off their fans again, particularly European fans who bought tickets to their shows not knowing KK would not be playing. I'm pretty much fed up with them. I didn't listen to the Ripper era and I won't be listening to the Faulkner era. The reality is Judas Priest, as a band, died in 91.

It doesn't strike you as more likely that they were waiting because it would have affected ticket sales if they dropped the bomb earlier? They "realised" that MAYBE they should say something - a month before the tour? Yeah.
Well then, I guess we're looking at this from different angles, no doubt.
I don't know who's to blame for this mess, and I wish I did. If I hadn't been a fan, I wouldn't have cared. Unfortunately - I DO care. And they can't go hiding behind a shitty management and their bad decisions, like a three-year-old hides behind mommy's skirt when shit hits the fan.
How can I go to a Priest-show now, feeling that they are genuine? I'm sorry, I just can't. At least not unless they tell us what really happened, cause I'm not buying the lame excuses given so far.

And to think that some no-name dude is going to make the show better...? The best he can do is stay the hell out of the spotlight as much as he can and let Ian step out for a change. But it still won't change much. If I was in Priest, I wouldn't have been able to even walk out on a stage and look the fans in the eyes. I would have been too ashamed of what's being done in the name of Judas Priest.

Just putting the idea out there. A new way to look at things. Instead of demise, what about rebirth? Could happen.

Yeah, Gaddafi would probably be very disappointed to not see KK shredding on 'Sinner', lol.

Hence the reason they should have waited until they knew what was going on before announcing anything, but if they did that they would have missed out on the cash that a summer tour in Europe would bring in. I would be mighty pissed off if I was a European fan. Fans in the U.S, at least, have the opportunity to decide if they want to attend or not after hearing the news.

After saying that I found some footage of Sabbath playing in sunny California with rainbows and flowers and gay looking outfits, Ozzy is dressed like a pixie hahahaha. Awesome rendition of War Pigs though.
There would have been a few people out there who shit themselves when they first heard it. Saw an interview with Ozzy ages ago where he was talking about their image and music back when the band first started. He said that at the time everyone was into peace and love and going to San Fransisco and wearing flowers in their hair and all that shit and how growing up in working class, cold, rainy, industrial Birmingham they had no idea what they were on about. When they started the band they kind of went all anti that image and sang about loss and desperation, black magic, madness and armageddon, stuff they knew about. fuckin funny. Good guys.

I thought Sound Of White Noise was a great album, everything else with Bush was very patchy though. On the Big 4, I thought Slayer were the best band on the day, the only thing that let them down was they didn't come out of the gate with one of their old classics, they should have started with War Ensemble or something but their set got better as it progressed. Dave Lombardo's drumming is amazing on the Big 4 dvd, blows Lars out of the water. Anthrax and Megadeth were awesome too, Metallica were average. I saw Metallica last year and they don't really have it any more, it was quite boring. The previous two times I'd seen them they were amazing but that was in the early and late 90s. Metallica don't have the attitude any more, it's all about cock rock posing for them now, all this "Hey, it's all about us and you man" shit has replaced "C'MON YOU FUCKIN PUSSIES".

I think it is. The fact is the tour is due to begin very soon and the album is not due till 2012. They should get on with the tour with KK on board and he can step down afterwards before the next album is released, then they can tour that album with the new line up. If that's what they want to do. After nearly 40 years, doing a farewell world tour without your lead guitarist / principal songwriter / guy who started the band is inexcusable. Both parties should realise that what's important on a farewell tour is the audience. Surely they are old enough to deal with each other on a purely professional level. Everyone else has to work with people they don't like or agree with. It's not like they can't afford to get seperate hotel rooms. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Hey everyone the latest Metal Meltdown is able to be listened to now at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz Just click on Metal Meltdown and the mp3 file. Some of the bands you can hear this week include Crowbar, Metallica, Bathory, Kalmah and Alice Cooper. There is also a Downing era Priest song in there kicking off proceedings. If you have any requests send me a PM or post it in this thread and I'll play it for you. Enjoy The show. JJ.

This band, more than any other, fucks their fans around and blatantly rips them off. What would everyone be saying if AC/DC announced a tour, sold a shitload of tickets, and then said "By the way, Angus has retired and won't be there but we've got a new guy who fits in really well"? Bite the bullet you fuckin' pussies and cancel the tour, call it a day and fuck off with at least a small amount of self respect intact.
[jimmyjames] Wednesday, April 20, 2011 12:50:12 PM
Yeah man, Volume 4 is amazing. I reckon the riffs at the beginning of Under The Sun and Cornucopia are the blueprint for what was to become Doom Metal.
I might also add the song Swinging The Chain, the last song from Never Say Die. I think Bill Ward sings that one too but it would sound a shitload better with Ozzy singing. Axl Rose actually sang a better version of It's Alright on the GNR Live Era 87 - 93 live album but I know you hate him so don't bother checking it out, I just thought it fitted in there with some of GNRs piano based songs more than it does on a Sabbath album.

Reguardless of what this Evans says here,and reguardless of what he will say about me posting in this thread (he can't control himself,he will have to say something because of how childish he is) I couldn't agree more with you Jimmy.
The 8 albums with Ozzy in the 70's tower over RJ Dio's 2 albums and I do like the Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules albums,they are totally awsome but the Black Sabbath studio albums with Ozzy are so much better than Dio's albums.
Sabotage is so good its unreal,even with 3 under-par tracks out of 8 albums and 8 years( the Changes song from Vol.4, the " It's Alright track and the She's Gone track from Technical Ecstacy all 3 are boring) those 8 albums "still" are much better obviously in your opinion and mine and obviously that doesn't make the albums better because those are our opinions but I sure as hell agree with you about the Ozzy albums with Sabbath here. Ozzy's vocals in Black Sabbath are anything but annoying.

Well I must say that I don't know why you've created this thread then. Why didn't you just start a Ronnie James Dio thread and talk about his music in that? You've literally called the thread The Creators Of Metal - Black Sabbath and you are avoiding the line up of the band that actually did what you are talking about. The RJD era of Sabbath did not create metal. As I said before, by the time Ronnie joined the band in 1979 or 80 metal was already going strong. Priest had released five or six albums, Maiden had just begun, UFO had been going for ages, AC/DC were at their peak, The Scorpions had a few albums out, the list goes on. The albums that created metal were the first three Sabbath albums, self titled, Paranoid and Master Of Reality in 1970 and 71. Honestly, Black Sabbath is only Black Sabbath with Ozzy. With Dio the name is the same but the band and the music is completely different. Awesome heavy metal music but it's a completely different sound to the original Sabbath that created metal. I think the band realised this when they got back together with Dio and changed the name to Heaven And Hell. They understood that if they called it Black Sabbath people would be expecting to hear War Pigs, Sweet Leaf and Paranoid etc, because that's what Sabbath is.

That sucks man, still though, amazing he was able to get it together enough to even put out an album the state he's in. A 33% strike rate whacked out of your mind on drugs is a pretty solid effort in my book. Doesn't explain Ozzy Osbourne though. When he was wasted all the time he released great albums, since he sobered up in the early 90s he's released nothing but shit. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Hey Jimmy,I've just heard the whole album of the new "Pentagram Last Rites" and I'm totally "butt hurt". Its "boring". "SIGH". 12 tracks and only 4 of them I like,so its a flop to me. I was really looking forwards to this new album but with first listen I don't like it at all as a whole.
I guess too much crack smoking by Leibling dulled his song writting skills to say the least haha! This really sucks balls. I sure hope I like the rest of the Saxon album,I've heard 4 songs out of 10 so far and like all 4 but I have 6 more to listen to but they are not out yet,I'm hoping I like 4 out of 6 to give me 8 songs out of 10. The new Pentagram I will not be buying though,that sucks.
You seem to be forgetting the Ozzy Osbourne era. Regardless of how great a singer Dio was and how good H&H and Mob Rules are, the Ozzy era is where it's at with Sabbath. If you call the thread The Creators Of Metal - Black Sabbath then logic dictates you would be talking about Ozzy's time with the band. Metal was in full swing and had been for a number of years when Dio joined the band. It was actually with Ozzy that Sabbath "created metal". Here's a song I've always liked from the end of the Ozzy period. Gypsy from Technical Ecstasy, it's a bit prog but still really cool. Technical Ecstasy was actually the first album I ever bought on cd.
Holy shit!!!, He is in terrible shape. Looks like the new album could be the last for Pentagram. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Wednesday, April 06, 2011 4:05:30 PM)

Actually speaking of Wino, as I was in Check This Out, I thought you might like this. An accoustic version of Iron Horse that Wino recorded for his latest album Adrift. Wino is like Americas Lemmy, a real lifer, made so much cool music. I think he is the only other person who could do this justice.
I'm just imitating how people try to give these carefully considered yet meaningless and totally fucking redundant opinions on these stupid questions. Imagine sitting in a pub and having a conversation like that. "So AC/DC or Judas Priest, which do you prefer?" "Well I really like AC/DC but as you know Rob Halford is one of the top singers in heavy music..." The mind boggles at the retardedness of it all.

That was a good one to JD. Have you heard of Victor Griffins other band Place Of Skulls? I first heard them a couple of years ago and got into it because Wino was in the band for a while. I had no idea Griffin used to be in Pentagram too. Here's a track from their With Vision album with Wino.
Well I thought that song was pretty good. I will play some songs off the new album when it comes out. I'm sure it'll be very old school like all the other Pentagram I've heard.

I have more mixed feelings about Turbo. My other musical passion along with metal & rock is 80s pop (a weird combination, I know).

Out in the Cold is one of the best power ballads I've heard (I have a soft spot to power ballads, to be honest) and Reckless is a great hard rocker - although a bit out of it's place among the other, more synth-driven tracks. Again, there's some feel-good songs like Locked In, Parental Guidance, Rock You All Around the World and Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days, all of them great party songs. Private Property and Hot for Love try to be more serious but can't quite get there with all the synths, and are probably the weakest tracks on the album (although I love the solo in Hot for Love). Conclusion: I like the album, but it's not so much Priest as other albums. But I still listen to it regularly.

He's fired, and he's obviously on the edge of insanity, but I do genuinely hope that he gets committed. He needs help. Sadly, those who need help most don't see it. I'm truly sad for the way this whole thing has gone. He's a womanizer, an abusive husband, an addict, and totally delusional. Sad state of affairs, and this twitter nonsence and others invested in his doom (in pretense of being friends) are just loving it. The whole world is sick and poor Charlie seems to be a solid symptom of the overplayed reality TV bullshit, this will end bably. Pathetic.
Mötorhead by far, raw and uncomplicated, just like metal is supposed to be.... you know Maiden kinda lacks of power, rawness, heavyness, they are by far more commercial, mainstream, and their drums are kinda softie...
How can they do this without the little fat guy? Disgraceful. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brian_Evans from Wednesday, March 09, 2011 4:03:55 PM)

It's a difficult choice� I mean you have Blood Red Skies, Dreamer Deceiver, Deceiver, Cathedral Spires, Victim of Changes, Exciter, Delivering the Goods, Rapid Fire, Delivering the Goods, Future of Mankind, Deal with the Devil, Beyond the Realms of Death, Dying to Meet You, Hell bent for Leather, Judas Rising, Tyrant, Between the Hammer and the Anvil, Painkiller, The Ripper, Desert Plains, Ram it Down, Call for the Priest/Raw Deal, and Metal Meltdown, so it's pretty difficult for me to decide on one.
Listen to the beginning one after the other, the same in a different key. When Biff comes in with the vocals it sounds as though it could almost be Bon. The main guts of the song is a little different but that intro is the same. They're not that far apart at all really. Far apart would be that fuckin Maiden vs Motorhead thread that some spastic started. So far apart you can't compare them
lol! Oh I don't think its a "rip" and I'm not trying to defend Saxon because I like them,I really don't think that the "song" is a rip I think maybe the opening "riff" is similar,but your really grabbin' at straws to make that close of a comparison because the songs are so far apart in difference in my opinion,but they do have AC/DC influences.

Very good jimmy .....bravo. I agree with Maiden's back catalogue except for your Seventh Son comparison,that album is nowhere near Saxon's last 7 studio albums neither is Somewhere In Time but I'll say that the first 5 Maiden albums are better than Saxon yes. This thread should of been "modern day" era for both bands. That being said Saxon is still up 13 to 4 and that is amazing. Most people including myself are giving Saxon credit for the last 15 years over Maiden,people are sick and tired of "The Final Frontier" kind of sounds,sure I still like AMOLAD minus 2 tracks but I see why people don't like modern day Maiden,thier sound isn't strong anymore while Saxon's sound is very strong and heavy.
Again,in my opinion the last 7 studio albums Dogs Of War,Unleash The Beast,Metalhead,Killing Ground,Lionheart,The Inner Sanctum and Into The Labyrinth totally 100% destroys and obliviates Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son,to me its like trying to compare Turbo(which would be S.I.T. and S.S.O.A.S.S) to Painkiller(which would be Saxon's last 7 albums).

They all have their moments but anyone would be hard pressed to put up a case against Machine Head and In Rock. Those two are the best by far. Of the big three in early metal Deep Purple were the least consistant. Sabbath and Led Zep had steady lineups for a decade which allowed them to put out a consistant body of work. You could argue that any album that Sabbath released between Black Sabbath and Sabotage was their best, likewise anything Led Zep released between LZ 1 and Physical Grafitti you could argue as being their best. In fighting and lineup changes in Deep Purple meant that they didn't have the chance to release a lot of music while they were at their peak. However Deep Purple did spawn two other good band in Rainbow and Whitesnake. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Gobberz from Friday, March 04, 2011 11:09:20 AM)

Listening to Perfect Strangers album at the moment and when I first listened to it, I wasn't sure. But I started to get into it, it's kind of fresh, and shows Deep Purple on Top Form, iwht a more modern sound but one distinct difference is, although ian Gillan has an amazing voice, it is clear that since he left in 1973, his upper register has changed completely, but still has a good range. But as a Whitesnake fan, Burn is again, an amazing record. Also, In Rock is a strong and really cool record. The obvious choices would be In Rock, Machine Head, and even burn. I might put forward that The Battle Rage On is a pretty decent record.
Yeah thats the good thing about the States, all the bands tour there on a regular basis, I'm sure you'll get a chance to see them this year. I suppose I can't complain too much because I did get to see them in 05 when they came down for their 30th anniversary tour and again in 07 when they toured Kiss Of Death. Not sure if I'd rate The World Is Yours that highly but it is definately a solid effort, Brotherhood Of Man is a cool song. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Cool pics. I saw the Melvins in 98'. They were pretty good.
No pictures. No rants.
No negative posts.
Paul is great. Bruce is great. Iron Maiden is great.

It started out as a live thing. Watching the crowd response and how they fed off of it. I like the way they change up the tempo in their songs.
When they go slow then heavy it up it gets the crowd going. Then I started listening to their music and quite honestly I love it. I like how many
different styles of music they actually play. I like them having two singers each of them very different in style. I like that they go from a ballad
to metal to hardcore in their songs. I'm going to see them in May. I can't wait. I like the visuals, it works for me.
I only post them here because you don't like them. I'll stop doing that in an attempt to stop the back and forth with you.
I will continue to post here because I still think this is an awesome idea for a thread. You obviously won't like everything just
because no one will but I won't intentionally try to aggravate you with my posts. Glad you liked Texas Hippie Coalition. I think they're pretty good.

Hey man, how about something good like Mushroomhead.
Hey Jimmie
Coming from the same area that Pantera did, I was aquainted with them( not friends) and Phil was the problem there. His ego was unbelievable! My old band used to do the same clubs as them before they were signed, and man even in the beginning he was an ass. Vinnie and Dime were that band. The damageplan is good, but not up to Pantera standards.
jimmyjames wrote:
Not really interested in Rebel Meets Rebel, again the artists aren't on the same page. That song is all over the place. Cliched lyrics too. Stupid video. I haven't really been interested in much that Dimebag and Vinnie have done since Pantera. The Hellyeah band looks like shit although I must admit I haven't listened to the Damageplan album which I just never got around to. Even though Dime is really respected I always thought Phil was the man in Pantera. The first Down album is awesome but the second and third are a bit patchy and their live album is abysmal. I get the feeling that Pantera, like Priest, are at their best when they are together, not involved in other projects. Unfortunately that's never going to happen again for those guys.

Well I watched the whole video right through. It was ok but I don't think the bands image suits their music. It almost sounded like country metal on the chorus which is ok but the verses just sounded like indecipherable nu metal crap from the late 90s early 2000s. The video looked like it was influenced by Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas with the scarecrow. The part where the guy tried to look thoughtful and meaningful as he sang towards the end of the video cracked me up because it was impossible to take seriously with that stupid costume. I think this band would be better if they were more focussed instead of taking all these elements from everywhere and trying to put them together. ie The horror movie image, the heavy nu metal riffing, the distorted rapped verses and the country metal chorus. It sounds like they aren't to sure where they want to be. I think the guys voice sounds like he could be in a good country metal band, maybe along the lines of Alabama Thunderpussy, who were awesome.

Phil is an asshole. He brought Pantera down. I saw those guys 9 times and the majority of them he was so fucked up
on heroin or whatever he was taking that they're performances were lacking because of it. The last time I saw Phil was
in Superjoint Ritual. He sounded fucked up and was a total ass to the crowd. He would stop songs to bitch at the crowd.
He was telling them how lame they were, how he wasn't going to continue unless people started getting into it more.
He said this was the worst crowd, used swear words, and said he would never come back. The funny part was that the
crowd was into him. People were slam dancing and generally getting off and he was a total dick. I've never paid attention
to him since. I have that "Down" album and another and I don't think they're that good. to each his own though.
Wow, we got hit with a major earthquake today, 6.3 this time. In the same place where the last two were 6 months ago, Christchurch. Not so lucky this time, already weakened buildings collapsing, quite a few dead, not sure how many.

Honestly, what are you doing? You don't care whether or not these people are alive or dead. Why are you laughing at a guy who one of his favourite guitarists has recently died and posting crap over his story. You didn't see me going when your friend died.

AC/DC has had good management.

Since Back in Black, nothing has changed. The early AC/DC did change more than the post Bon years.
jimmyjames wrote:
When you think back on that time AC/DC only really released one albumin the 90s. Razor's Edge came out in 90 before the grunge era broke. They released Ballbreaker in 95 and by that time they'd been away long enough that people wanted to see them, plus grunge was imploding by then. Five years later in 2000 they released Stiff Upper Lip, which was shit but no-one cared because they missed them. Priest might have been better served to take that road rather than giving up completely.
[jimmyjames] Saturday, February 19, 2011 3:59:24 PM
Come on, Priest were on a career high after Painkiller, their best and most consistant album since Stained Class. It it was thrown away for whatever reasons. The Resurrection album didn't come out until 2000 so thats 9 years wasted that Priest could have been producing material, instead Rob was keeping it real with his homeboys in Fight and Priest were playing at being a Priest covers band. I was only using AC/DC as an example because they went on a hiatus during the time grunge was in, they kept a lower profile which served them well when they did come out with something. Priest could easily have stayed together and Rob could have done his own thing as well. Like what's happening now. I call that period a waste because we could have had 2 or 3 quality Priest albums over that 9 or 10 year period. Ressurection and Crucible are good but they are nowhere near Priest at their peak.
It was not a waste. Halford created many good songs. What would have happened if he stayed then............. would not have been what we wanted. He had to return of his own volition, or Priest would have suffered from disintrest. That would have been the nail in the coffin more than Rob leaving.
Yep, we all agree that it was waste. Here's some footage of the Priest show I was at in Canada, this guy actually recorded and edited it pretty well, there's snippets of quite a few songs. There's actually a second part to this as well.
I think Halford totally blew it when he left the band. Wasted all those years apart and they have never quite recovered from it. Haven't been the same in my opinion.
jimmyjames wrote:
There's no denying that everything they've done together has been way better than anything they've done apart. Maybe management did sway them at times. I just wish they'd stuck to their guns in the 90s, if they had done that the way the likes of Maiden, AC/DC, Slayer and so forth did then maybe I wouldn't feel the way I do.
HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS wrote:
You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

I'm not convinced. Of course they are going to say that. No band is going to reform and say "yeah, we're basically sick of playing clubs so we're getting the old band back together so we can hit the arena circuit and cream some decent money out of it". It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts. Amazingly when traditional metal made a comeback in the early 2000s Priest made a comeback. You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?

It wasn't for the money - it was because as Rob said, the greatest things he ever did were with Priest and that is where his heart is. KK said something like, why aren't we putting our eggs in one basket? They went to see Halford perform live and saw that Rob still had it. They are like siblings and siblings fight. Fortunately for us, they got back together and aren't holding any grudges. As Rob said before they got back together, we have to do it for the right reasons and not for money because the fans will know. Well, there you have it - we would be able to tell that they were there only for the money when on stage and trust me, they are having way too much fun and getting along way too well for it to be solely about money! I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

We all wish that JJ, you aren't alone in that. I wish they had just taken a year or two off from each other and Rob could have done what he needed to do.

There's no denying that everything they've done together has been way better than anything they've done apart. Maybe management did sway them at times.

You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts.

You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?

When you think back on that time AC/DC only really released one albumin the 90s. Razor's Edge came out in 90 before the grunge era broke. They released Ballbreaker in 95 and by that time they'd been away long enough that people wanted to see them, plus grunge was imploding by then. Five years later in 2000 they released Stiff Upper Lip, which was shit but no-one cared because they missed them. Priest might have been better served to take that road rather than giving up completely.
Be warned this is not for everyone. Deathstars are a Swedish band who have been around for about 10 years. It's like a combination of the Sisters Of Mercy and Rammstein dressed like Marylin Manson. Ignore the video and just listen to the song,I really like it.

This is the second time Budred has posted this stupid list of as many dead people as he can think of. Some members were reminicsing about the passing of Gary Moore and Budred pops in with another of his retarded lists that has nothing to do with Gary Moore, thus detracting from the moment. Not only that he also managed to bring himself into it by indicating which of these dead musicians had the honour of having budred in their audience at some point. He totally misses the point of the thread. The idea is to remember musicians you liked who are gone now. Not just to post names of dead people just because of the fact they are dead. I guarantee budred hasn't even heard the music of some of the people he has name dropped.

This thread is not Revolver magazine and magazine cover all kinds of topics and that 's a general notion.
As Budred did to another member, I will do it exactly what he sent in the pm showing discomfort to me.
He wrote "Are all gay people so angry?"

If anyone that was on my friends list that may have noticed themselves removed please don't take offense.
Before Christmas when I thought I was going, I removed everyone from my friends list and later
I just forgot about trying to fix it. I tried tonight but I don't know if it worked or not. If anyone out there feels
slighted I apologize. Not a single person that I removed did I have a problem with. I hope I have you back
on my list.
I noticed I have two more ignores. I'm not going to let it bother me anymore.. I'm changing but I'll always bother some.
I can't change that. I would like to say though that instead of using the ignore just mention what I'm doing. Maybe I'll stop.
If not then hit ignore. I hoping my last problem here actually helped me. It brought on some self realization that I needed.
Say anything you want, I don't think I'll take things as personally as before. No more crazy responses at least. Peace!

Seriously, if they mean that much to you, why not spend $20 to preserve them. Sacrifice a dozen beers you might drink. Thats how I look at stuff. Say if a concert ticket costs $100 bucks or I can go out drinking that costs the same I just figure what will be the better memory. The show always wins so I take a week off the beers and go to the show. By the time the show rolls around I spend that weeks beer money at the show.

Well, strategic placement of the of the guitar pick/cases at the bottom holds the sticks upright. I haven't done anything with my Priest bounty yet because I'm stuck on what to do with Scott's two sticks.... I was thinking of hanging them from chains or something.

Metal Heart is pretty good, That and Restless And Wild seem to be seen as the best Accept albums but the new one Blood Of The Nations is definately up there with those. My favorite Accept album however is the highly underrated Russian Roulette album from 1986. Here's the first track TV War. The cover is a crack up too.
Last time I was in Real Groovy they had a copy and last time I was in JBs in Wellington they had a copy but they were expensive, about $33. Just get it on Amazon. YOu can buy it for about $8 US, postage is $6 US so all up it'll only cost you about $22 NZ. I buy loads of stuff online it's way cheaper. 3 for the price of 2 basically and they have more to choose from. They usually take between a week and a month to arrive depending on who you get it from.
Well they didn't have any Accept albums, their computer system showed they should have had 1 copy of Blood of the Nations but nope

While I was voted off the island and returned home late last night, same problem....the Island of Dr. Moreau wasn't a chain. Also, at least to my knowledge, Val Kilmer was never known as "The Duke." May God have mercy on anyplace that would make a statue of him as well. lol

I would say Dios solo stuff was more consistant overall but Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman are better than any Dio solo album. No Rest For The Wicked would be on par with Dios best solo stuff too. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by sentinel84 from Sunday, January 09, 2011 8:25:32 PM)

I really think they just can't be bothered. I don't think they are exactly friends. Halford leaving in the early 90s would have been pretty gutwrenching for the other members. Their relationship these days is purely a business one I believe. I think they only reformed back in 04 because old school metal made a comeback and bands like Maiden and Motley Crue etc were back on top and they saw it as an opportunity to make some good money before retiring. Most people retire in their 60s. Aside from Scott who is a hired gun they are all 60 or there abouts. I think they figure why go on. The spark isn't there any more. AOR is good but not great, Nostradamus is shit. Lets quit while we're ahead before plunging another million dollars into an album that won't recoup what is spent on it. Final tour then go their seperate ways. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Saturday, January 08, 2011 6:03:38 PM)

You wont get much defense from me on Priest. But, we dont' know the reasons for this being cut so short. Something had to have happened for them to just come out and quit with a world tour and NO new music. I still pray Epitaph has at least some new songs on it. I would not mind a final greatest hits if they laced it with a few new songs. I'm like all Priest fans. WHY!!!! No new CD to tour with. Hurts my feelings like nothing else and they talked like we would get that.
Something must have happened.
As for Disturbed, as long as their putting out ass kickin' metal! And have the record companies behind them, I say let them kick our asses!

Priest absolutely do cash grab tours in America.

You only have to read some of the comments on this site in recent months to see how they are pissing off a lot of their fans with a lack of new product and substandard product, particularly Halford with all his reissuing of Fight/Halford material and live albums. I applaud Disturbed for what they are doing and it's great they are having mainstream success. All I said was they are a commercial metal band ie a product. No harm in that. So are Maiden, so are Metallica, so is Ozzy etc.

Disturbed is an excellent metal band and I love what they put out. They did not sell out, they just had the right promotion and a great sound. They accomplished what few bands do today. They were in the top 200 sales for U.S. for over a year, and at the top when Indestructable came out. They are the future of American Metal. IMO.

However you do have to give it to Disturbed, they are taking metal to a wider audience. They are over here in May actually and have toured a few times.

Melvins were a big influence on a lot of bands in the grunge scene such as Nirvana ( Kurt Cobain tried out for them back in the day but didn't get in ) and also the underground metal scene. They are nothing like Priest / Maiden / Metallica etc and definately not everyones cup of tea. I saw them opening for Fugazi back in about 1997 and they were just awesome live. Last time they were over here that I know of they were opening for Tool in 02. I missed that show but again I heard they were awesome. The great thing about this show is that they are going to be playing at a bar rather than a concert hall so it will be easy access to stage and bar. As for the outfits, who knows, last time I saw them they were wearing jeans and tshirts. Here is High On Fire, the other band on the bill.
Maybe it's just me JJ but they are not fabulous in any way. Good, yes.......I do like the way the drummers keep in time. The outfits look like a band that would play at the Star Trek convention. Feeling only medium to them.

I just dont get AOR being a drop off after demo. demo was not british is style. still I guess each to their own. personaly I loved it. if they re did something like british steel today I cat see it working. for the time it was fine, but its too simple in sound.

Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm expecting too much. After all the great music they have given us I guess my
expectation level is too high. After Demolition the drop off was too dramatic. I have been waiting ever since for
another "Judas Priest" style heavy metal album. Maybe they realized they aren't capable of giving us one anymore.
The last two Priest albums and Halford's latest are proof of this. A.O.R. has some good music on it but it's hardly
a classic Priest album. I truly believed after the British Steel tour they still had it but??? So maybe it's not betrayal
as much as it just can't be done. Lastly, trust me, I love Judas Priest and I'm not mad about a final tour. I just waited
a decade to hear (one) last "Priest" beast and it's not coming. That is a major disappointment.

I didn't like Nostradamus or AOR. There are a couple of songs on each of these albums that I do like but overall they haven't been a cd that I could put in my truck and jam all the through without hitting skip. Despite that, I don't feel any betrayal here. You might but I don't see it. If they truly wanted to screw the fans then they wouldn't even bother with another world tour. These guys have been doing it for fourty years and I've got to believe that would wear on anybody overtime. I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt and I wish them nothing but the best. I've enjoying jamming to Judas Priest for 30 years and I have enjoyed all their albums from Rocka Rolla through Painkiller. I've seen them three times (Once with Ripper) and I get to see them a fourth time. Life is good.
Budred wrote:
I don't think too many people are criticizing their desire to call it a day, I think people are pissed because of the way
Priest are betraying their fans. If you support a band and afford them a lavish lifestyle then why is it too much to expect
a new album before they quit. They release Nostradamus and alienate half their fans, then they leave us hanging for
three years with a teaser of a big announcement. Everyone comes online and sees the new site design and announcement
and instantly get excited thinking here it is only to be kicked in the gut with the we'll take your money but we won't give
you anything but a final tour for it. You can be happy for them but don't think because you are everyone else should be too.
If Nostradamus is the best they can do then maybe no new album is a good thing.
Kroman wrote:
I don't post much on this site but I do visit from time to time and read comments. Each member, except Scott, are either in their 60's or approaching 60. Has anybody thought about the fact that maybe they all agreed that it was time to focus on other things in life that, at this stage, are probably more important to them? This stuff about KK running the band, or Glenn possibly having cancer is a bunch of crap. You all should feel lucky they have enough mojo to go on another tour, regardless if there is a new album or not, and you have another opportunity to see them.
Life goes on people. Yeah they won't be touring anymore but that's their choice and they deserve to make that choice without the childish, selfish criticism I've read from a "few" posters in this thread. Be happy for them. One benefit I see already is if they shut down the website then you won't have to read anymore bullshit posts from JD Diamond.
Sweet, thanks for the advice. I actually played Man and Machine on my show a couple of weeks ago. Cool track. A lot of their stuff is good. I have changed my tune about Saxon a bit since I realised they weren't all about that Ride Like The Wind shit.

But....if they could do a metal fest with Ozzy or Sabbath, Maiden and Saxon and maybe Purple with Blackmore it would be a great send off ??

Went to the new 3D Tron movie yesterday. Pretty good time waster. The most amazing SFX were how they made Jeff Bridges look 30 years younger. Actually speaking of JB, saw him in another film the other day called Crazy Heart, he played a down on his luck alcoholic country singer. Was pretty funny. Reduced to playing gigs in bowling alleys etc, having to leave the stage to puke. Also saw the new Karate Kid movie with Jackie Chan and Will Smith Jr, lamo, not a patch on the original which I have seen a million times and still watch every time it's on.

Since you pay so much attention to me and spend so much time trying to analyze me take time to notice how much
tamer these last two posts are. Even if it shows my stupidity, only now does it make sense what you're trying to do.
You know what kind of reaction you're posts get from me so periodically you attempt to fuck with me. Mind games

GNR had the biggest selling debut album of all time. 18 million in the US alone. They were the biggest band in the world back in the early 90s. Up there with the likes of U2 and Pink Floyd. It's not going to be hard for them to sell 20000 tix today. Priest have never had anything more than mid level success and it's not down to Gull records. It's down to the fact that they have been inconsistant to the extent of alienating some of their fans and not sticking to their guns the way the likes of Maiden and AC/DC have.

even touring painkiller with megadeath and testament they didnt sell out here. ok, testament was fairly unknown then, and the tour got fuck all for promo, but still. maiden sold out that year, and every tour I can think of since, except the final frontier, which was close to a sell out.
I guess their consistancy is the downfall. I personaly lay some of it at Gull records door. the fact that you could go to a store every week, find a different cover or name, only to find you already had every song there three times over pissed me off.

You go overboard with the photos and posts about your personal life. At least once a month you go with a long winded "Nobody likes me, all i want to do is fit, maybe it would be better if i just left" post. Obviously designed to get people to say "Don't go budred, we love you blah blah" It's getting boring man. Really boring. You take everything personally. You post psychotic "I wanna kill Jimmy because he makes fun of me" posts. You send psychopathic PMs. You always allude to your history of drug use as if it's something cool, like a 14 year old kid. I think it's stunted you emotionally and made you socially inept which is why you are such a drama queen and a crybaby. Seriously man, see a mental health professional.
Here's some Saxon for you JD, I'm sure you've seen it before though

Hey guys, latest Metal Meltdown is up at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz Just click on Metal Meltdown and the mp3 file. This weeks show is pretty funny, it's a tribute of sorts to the hair metal scene of the 80s so all the bands are from that era. Some of them actually aren't that bad but some of them are pretty terrible so it's good fun. Some of the bands you can hear are Pretty Boy Floyd, Britny Fox, White Lion, Enuff Z Nuff and Slaughter. Check it out if you're up for a laugh. Next weeks show will be back to normal so if you have any requests send me a PM or post them in here. Enjoy, JJ.
New show up guys, go to www.coastaccessradio.org.nz and click on Metal Meltdown and the mp3 file. This week you can hear songs from Soulfly, Ihsahn, Meshuggah, Faith No More and Led Zeppelin. Enjoy the show and if you have any requests post them here or send me a PM. Enjoy. JJ.
I think the The Final Frontier gets better every time I hear it. Obviously different to Powerslave, Piece Of Mind etc. But as a semi progressive metal album I reckon it's cool. Their best since they got back with Bruce.
You don't like WASP and think they are a joke yet you think Manowar are the greatest band on the planet????? All that Conan the Barbarian, brothers of steel shit, standing around with warhammers and swords on their album covers like a bunch of cartoon characters. That's not a joke????

I've never been to the states but in Canada the toilets are filled almost to the top with water so that when you flush it creates a whirlpool effect, In NZ there is only a small amount of water in the bottom of the bowl so the flush is created throuh a large amount of water smashing down on the offending substance, so our toilets rely on just the power of the flush going down, not in any particular direction [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, November 16, 2010 11:45:53 PM)

Don't forget Evening Star JD, lamo as well. I also think Living After Midnight blows. To Answer the question though, British Steel by a long shot. Unless we're talking about the remastered version which is also marred by the Red, White and Blue abortion. It just detracts from the whole atmosphere of the album.

I got The Big 4 Live box set. Looks pretty cool. 5 cds of each bands entire set and two dvds of the show. Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica have great looking setlists but Slayers looks a little weak. Can't wait to check it out over the weekend.
Probably Pantera at the Wellington Town Hall on their Far Beyond Driven Tour. That was earsplittingly loud and heavy. Another one that was real loud but not necessarily heavy as such was Them Crooked Vultures who I saw in January this year. I was quite surprised at how loud they were.
HELL YEAH! New Motorhead out on December 13th!!!!! The World Is Yours!! I've already heard 2 songs and they are classic Motorhead as if anybody had any doubts haha!
Hey guys. My first HALLOWEEN SPECIAL is up and able to be listened to now at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz then click on Metal Meltdown and the mp3 file. Loads of scary themed songs this week.

That is the funniest thing I've ever heard!Are you KIDDING ME? Priest doesn't have a signature sound???? What are you talking about? You don't think Glenn and KK have a "signature sound"? They are the only two guitarists on this planet that play in harmony the way they do. Many bands have tried to copy Glenn and KK and fail. Instantly I know that it's Glenn and KK. Even my 8 year old knows Rob's voice because NO ONE on this planet sounds like or will ever sound like Rob. Both my sons instantly recognize a Priest song as being Priest, even songs they have never heard before because of Rob, KK and Glenn. So Rob's voice and Glenn and KK aren't enough but somehow Maiden has a "signature sound"? LMFAO!

If you look at Priests successful albums they are all pretty much straight ahead metal. However Priest have sabotaged their own momentum in some cases. To go from Stained Class, HBFL, Unleashed and BS to Point Of Entry is like shooting yourself in the foot. Grinder to You Say Yes, Steeler to Don't Go, thats going to halt your momentum. It's basically a band saying we've got the Metal audience, now lets try and grab the mainstream audience. After that failed experiment they went back to what they are good at, metal. SFV and DOTF got their momentum back but then they released Turbo, which was really successful but again alienated all their old fans. Back to the drawing board. Finally Painkiller, their master piece and Rob Halford leaves the band because he wants to do what Pantera are doing because they are making the money. The band stutter along for a decade before Halford comes back after what you would call a relatively unsuccessful period as a "solo" artist and Priest release AOR, a solid metal album. Everyone is happy and then they unleash Nostradamus and completely wreck it again. "We're about getting out of our comfort zone and stretching the boundaries blah blah blah" is the excuse. But really the bottom line is they are exceptional yet inconsistant and they have really no-one else to blame for the fact that they are not up there with Maiden. You have to give Maiden one thing, their consistancy is their strength,they don't try to be something they're not. Even when Blaze Bailey was in the band they still put out albums you could immediately identify as Maiden. Look at this website for example, You've got two of the worlds biggest Priest fans, Hellrider and JD, and Hellriders going "I hope they are finally going to unleash a metal monster" and JDs going "I'll believe it when I see it, if I see it, I've been let down too many times before" Same reason goes for the success of AC/DC, consistancy. Funny thing is it doesn't explain Metallica, they've been the most inconsistant of all but are bigger than they've ever been. They are always out there playing though and always put on a great show.

I really do not like the latest Eddie on the Final Frontier album,I know they wanted to change him up a bit but I think Harris let the artist go too far this time.
I really would like to see the next LP with the old Eddie back,even if they don't write another Piece Of Mind type of an album,it still would be cool to see the old school Eddie. I really dig the album cover on A Matter Of Life And Death.

your probably right, but just touring doesnt explain it, nor do the albums. if those make sense, explain kiss
jimmyjames wrote:
Along with Metallica and AC/DC, Maiden are the biggest band in hardrock / heavy metal. Priest is more of a cult band than Maiden. Final Frontier sold 800 000 copies in it's first week of release. Some might say that it's just bandwagon jumpers buying the album but I doubt it. People just like Maiden. The reason they are so popular is because they get out there and play for their fans rather than just playing the US. Maiden have toured all sorts of crazy places in recent years like India, South America and even NZ. I read an interview with them recently and one of the things that keeps them going is playing in countries they haven't been to before. Some complain that the albums aren't as good these days which is probably true but as a band they are at a point where they can experiment and do what they want and at least they are bringing out new stuff as often as they can between the true world tours that they do.

It was that bad when I was in Berlin in August. The day the album was released I walked into a bookstore to look for a map of the city. Then I stumbled upon all the magazines that you mentioned: Metal Hammer, Metal Shock, Rock Hard... all with Iron Maiden and that alien thing on the cover. A little too much, like you said. AND there was an Iron Maiden poster up on one of the display windows. I bought and listened to the album the next day and did not like it at all. Then later that month there were IM posters up all over one corner of a street near my apartment, so seeing that alien thing up everyday while walking to the U-Bahn was irritating.

Yes maybe it's for the new album but it happens also in other occasions. When I saw on TV to present all Iron MAiden CD to be sold on newspaepr kiosks, was the maximum.

I really don't like 'the number of the beast'. Maybe something good in Powerslave. It's only my opinion, but I grew up, here in Italy, where you can see 100 metal kids, and 95 have maidens t-shirt, three have Metallica, and two carcass, then me with Judas Priest. Here in Italy if some one talk about HM, only one group is mentioned: Iron Maiden. People which usually do not listen metal, knows Maidens. If you go to a newspaper kiosk you can buy all Maiden's discography. STOP !!!! Maybe it's not for them, but for the other. All of them made me hate Iron Maiden.

Starting from the music of Iron Maiden it should be good for reach perfection with Judas Priest!!!!

Even when Blaze Bailey was in the band they still put out albums you could immediately identify as Maiden. Look at this website for example, You've got two of the worlds biggest Priest fans, Hellrider and JD, and Hellriders going "I hope they are finally going to unleash a metal monster" and JDs going "I'll believe it when I see it, if I see it, I've been let down too many times before" Same reason goes for the success of AC/DC, consistancy. Funny thing is it doesn't explain Metallica, they've been the most inconsistant of all but are bigger than they've ever been. They are always out there playing though and always put on a great show.

Some might say that it's just bandwagon jumpers buying the album but I doubt it. People just like Maiden. The reason they are so popular is because they get out there and play for their fans rather than just playing the US. Maiden have toured all sorts of crazy places in recent years like India, South America and even NZ. I read an interview with them recently and one of the things that keeps them going is playing in countries they haven't been to before. Some complain that the albums aren't as good these days which is probably true but as a band they are at a point where they can experiment and do what they want and at least they are bringing out new stuff as often as they can between the true world tours that they do.

Yeah, I know that and I like songs on Point of Entry and Turbo as well and Fights first album and the first couple of Halford albums. I too find some of Maidens albums as boring as batshit. But I think it best explains their success. Priest are just as good, if not better ,musically and everyone knows that Rob is the best singer in metal with a much more diverse voice than Bruce, but some of the decisions they've made are unbelivable. I don't think Maiden really care what die hard Priest fans think of their music, they are more interested in catering to die hard Maiden fans, which is fair enough I think. But I know where you're coming from. I'm sure even some hard out Maiden fans are getting a bit bored with it. As a fan of both bands I am. In fairness though, I think The Final Frontier is not to bad, drags on a bit but there's some ok stuff on there.

Fine argument but you have far more of the "world's greatest Priest fans" such as myself saying that we like Priest and even the majority of Halford's solo material. While I do take issue with some of Priest's / Halford's decisions, as a whole I appreciate how they are willing to go out on a limb musically.
Exactly the reason why most "diehard Priest fans" ultimately gave up on Maiden ... the exact point you mention: predictable to the point of annoyance and tedium.

Some of it's not as good but Maiden have never completely abandoned their style in an attempt to make money ( Point Of Entry, Turbo ) or to try and gain some kind of credibility ( Nostradamus ). If you look at Priests successful albums they are all pretty much straight ahead metal. However Priest have sabotaged their own momentum in some cases. To go from Stained Class, HBFL, Unleashed and BS to Point Of Entry is like shooting yourself in the foot. Grinder to You Say Yes, Steeler to Don't Go, thats going to halt your momentum. It's basically a band saying we've got the Metal audience, now lets try and grab the mainstream audience. After that failed experiment they went back to what they are good at, metal. SFV and DOTF got their momentum back but then they released Turbo, which was really successful but again alienated all their old fans. Back to the drawing board. Finally Painkiller, their master piece and Rob Halford leaves the band because he wants to do what Pantera are doing because they are making the money. The band stutter along for a decade before Halford comes back after what you would call a relatively unsuccessful period as a "solo" artist and Priest release AOR, a solid metal album. Everyone is happy and then they unleash Nostradamus and completely wreck it again. "We're about getting out of our comfort zone and stretching the boundaries blah blah blah" is the excuse.

Here's my two cents worth without hearing the album yet. The cover looks like a video game. That would suggest that the album is aimed toward the kind of losers that play video games.

I think maybe the fact that Maiden give their fans what they want whilst Priest always fuck around with crap like Point Of Entry, Turbo, The whole Ripper era and Nostradamus might have something to do with the fact that they are not in that top echelon of earners. So rather than poor marketing I would say it's a tendency to put out shit that has hampered them. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ron h from Friday, October 08, 2010 11:42:03 PM)

I really would like to see the next LP with the old Eddie back,even if they don't write another Piece Of Mind type of an album,it still would be cool to see the old school Eddie. I really dig the album cover on A Matter Of Life And Death.

The reason they are so popular is because they get out there and play for their fans rather than just playing the US. Maiden have toured all sorts of crazy places in recent years like India, South America and even NZ. I read an interview with them recently and one of the things that keeps them going is playing in countries they haven't been to before. Some complain that the albums aren't as good these days which is probably true but as a band they are at a point where they can experiment and do what they want and at least they are bringing out new stuff as often as they can between the true world tours that they do.

I always thought a "cult following" is associated with tiny groups of people are huge fans of a movie, band, etc. If Iron Maiden has a "cult following", then it sure is a huge one.

Here's my two cents worth without hearing the album yet. The cover looks like a video game. That would suggest that the album is aimed toward the kind of losers that play video games. Judging by some of the comments people have made to do with this album having sporting themes, maybe he's trying to crack the video game soundtrack market. I bloody hope not but I wouldn't put it past somebody who put out an album of christmas songs.
Got tickets to the Big Day Out yesterday. Bands announced so far that I'm keen to see are Iggy and the Stooges, Tool, Rammstein, Deftones, Nick Caves Grinderman, Wolfmother and Primal Scream. Still two more announcements to go so maybe a few more big names to come. ( Priest would be good ).
Hey guys, the latest Metal Meltdown show is up now at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz Just click on Metal Meltdown and the mp3 file. Cool show this week, tracks from the new Black Label Society and Accept albums, an 80s classic from Anthrax plus songs from some of the bands that have been announced to play our Big Day Out festival in January. Priest also make an appearance. Sorry no show last week. I was so busy with work I didn't have a chance to make it into the studio. If you guys have any requests just post them in here or send me a PM. Enjoy the show, JJ.
Yeah you're right there. Maiden have always had the coolest T-shirts, album artwork and merchandise. I'd love to have a dollar for every shirt Maiden have sold over the years. I agree that the new Eddie is not as good as the old. The older one seemed a little more menacing and cool. The new one is quite cartoonish and a Predator ripoff.

The pediatrician saw him a couple of weeks ago and he's in the top 3% of babies size wise and hes surprisingly strong so hopefully he'll make the All Blacks one day.

Ok guys, I have an AWESOME story to share! So last night was the G-Taranaki gig, incluing Hail! (with Ripper Owens on vocals and Scott Travis on drums) and Slash. The gig kicked ass. My friend I was with and I left just before Slash's gig finished so we could get to the venue of the sold out midnight gig and wait to catch Scott. We turned up and the security guy was like no he's not here and he's not meeting any of the public. We decided to wait anyways. My friend did all the talking to security people cos I am quite shy lol. She spots this dude and talks to him, an American guy called Dan, and he said yeah it should be fine to get an autograph, Scott is a nice guy really approachable etc. He said to just keep waiting cos they wouldn't be far away. So we waited and not long after a van turned up with the members of Hail! we went down and my friend spoke to him, said welcome to New Zealand, this is my friend Rebecca and she's a really big fan. He said 'Of me?!' being a bit silly lol and I pointed out my SFV shirt (which he would have noticed lol) and we shook hands and he said 'we're going to have a photo together right?' and so he put his arm around my shoulders and we had two pics together, and he signed a copy of Painkiller for me! I told him the set Hail! played was awesome and he said he found it a bit weird not playing on his normal drum kit, and I said I play drums too and he said well you'll know what I mean then and I was like yep sure do. He then asked my friend and I if we were going in to the gig. I said no we don't have tickets and he said 'What?!' and I said we only had tickets to the earlier show. So he turns to the guy Dan and says 'we've gotta get them in man!'!!! Dan was a bit incredulous then Scott said 'they're my guests' so we got taken in the back door to the sold out gig!!!! Holy crap! We saw Slash playing with Uli Jon Roth, Hail! played another small set, and when Slash went to come on he was standing about a metre away from me. What a hell of a night! Scott is such a nice friendly guy I was so happy to get to meet him and he was so generous with getting my friend and I in to the other gig (which was only for a couple hundred people). Here's the pics I took lol. Excuse the close up one of me and Scott I look a bit psycho cos I was very excited.
My signed copy of Painkiller it says 'To lovely Rebecca' hehe.
Oh, well next time I'm in Hannover and I'm in the mood for a tour of all the low-end, cheap, sleazy back alley bars and sex shops I'll be sure to look him up.

LOL, cock rock. SFV kicks arse, that album is never far away from my CD player in my car lol. At the moment though DOTF rules the roost, I love the dark overtones of the album as a whole. The Sentinel is awesome because the most violent and dark part of the song is also the slowest musically, it's very cool. I love both albums but agree that SFV is more accessible.
jimmyjames wrote:
All of them, the album as a whole, SFV is way more upbeat and the songs a bit more accessible I think. DOTF is quite a menacing kind of album for want of a better word, Freewheel Burning, Jawbreaker, Rock Hard Ride Free, Love Bites, Some Heads Are Gonna Roll plus the ones you mentioned are just darker songs than those on SFV. SFV, with the exception of the title track and Bloodstone is the closest thing Priest have to cock rock apart from Turbo.

I might be a victim of living in the Chicago area which, unbelieveabley does not have a Metal radio staion (a few have come and gone quickly over the years), but the only song I've ever heard on the radio here off the SFV album is YGOTC. Off DOTF, I've heard Freewheel Burning, Rock Hard Ride Free and Love Bites. Maybe SFV sounds more commercial to you, but with the exception of the above mentioned song DOTF has experienced much more radio play than SFV. I only have about 34 years of listening experience here, but it's a sad reality of no real Metal airplay in this area. Priest actually, even today, gets more airplay off the British Steel album than any other in this area. Green Manalishi is another staple on the LOOP (local rock sta.) more airplay than most.
Not one song off the first side of SFV gets airplay...period! Fever and Devil's Child would be the only other candidates and it just doesn't happen.
Defender's, IMO, is way more commercial. I really don't see where DOTF is a darker album. What songs are you referring to and please don't say The Sentinel, Eat Me Alive or Heavy Duty.
We all have our opinions, but using words like heavier and darker, I just don't see it.

His first heavy metal experience was me playing him Killers by Iron Maiden, I know, I should have played him Priest for his first album but I had Killers in the car when we took him home from the hospital.

That's what I did with the glue traps in Flora's room, but I can't put traps out in the kitchen because Lucy would be in danger from them too. This makes killing the big fat menace a little more difficult. I would like to know what that miracle chalk was though.

It came in a long box and, like I just mentioned, it had Chinese lettering and a picture of a roach on it. We found it in a 99 cents store. I'll try to find info on it, though. For the rats, we also placed glue traps around the microwave and the stove (where there would most likely be crumbs) and added some pieces of actual food with rat poison placed inside of it. Good luck.

Find out what it was, just in case all my efforts fail. I won't even go in that room tonight because that thing is big and nasty.

Yikes! My house was full of them (we even had a rat or two) until my mom used this special chalk and used it on cabinets, some boxes, etc. Haven't seen one ever since. It had Chinese lettering, so who knows what's in that stuff.

I know all about roaches. The City of Richmond, VA is full of them in the old parts. No matter how much my roomie and I bombed the place with chemicals they still came. I you could have seen the garbage cans for our apartment you would puke. The roaches were so prevalent, that our way of throwning out the trash was to have one of us go down to the trash cans with a broom, open it, and then stand back while the other threw the trash from the second floor into the bin. The bin was completely covered in roaches and you really didn't want to touch them. Gross, gives me chills to this day to think about how many were around.

Heh. I remember I was barely waking up one morning (still in bed), and I decided to turn myself over to the other side. Once I did, I saw something walk on the edge of the matress. After narrowing my eyes to focus on that object (didn't have glasses on), lo and behold, it was a roach. A big one, right next to me. That certainly woke me up. Yeech.

Oh god, that chills me to the bones to think that thing could sneak up on me, and be near me! The revulsion is too much to take! I like pet rats, of other peoples, would never own one myself, but this thing is evil! I want it dead!

Pissing me off, or scaring the hell out of me?? Two days ago a rat moved into my daughter's bed room. I've brought every rat trapping object to our defense and yet still, the big bastard is not dead yet. Got glue traps today to add to the mayhem, and loaded the foundation with poison. I hope it dies or gets caught soon. It's big, it's loud, and it hisses at times, strangely enough, it makes a noise like a dog shaking off water on occasion. I hate this demon. My dog is afraid of it. I sent Flora to stay with her grandfather until this menace if removed from my home. Just in case I bought an old fashioned heavy broom so I don't have to worry about swinging it full force if I happen to stumble upon it on it's little trips to the kitchen, which it may as well give up on since I don't have a scrape for it to eat! Bastard Rat! I can't wait til he's dead so I can disinfect the entire house! Edited at: Friday, July 23, 2010 6:09:43 PM
Jon Oliva is alive. Criss died in 93 but as of last Thursday Jon was still with us according to the website Jon Olivas Pain.
Nick Mason from Pink Floyd is alive.
The drummer from Avenged Sevenfold was Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. The title of the thread is Gone But Not Forgotten, not Try To Think Up As Many People As You Can Who Are Dead. It's good to see that you'll always remember old what's his name though. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Thursday, July 22, 2010 1:18:07 PM)

There's also a thing you can click on that speeds up the time it takes for the show to start if you have that problem.

Even thogh guys like Ponting are pricks you have to admit they put playing for their country ahead of anything else. They never give up and are never injured. When was the last time you remember Ponting being out for an extended period with injury? Never.
When the IPL contracts are being handed out an he can pick up 200k for half a dozen 2020 games. If they need him for a test series against England or something he'll magically get injured. He's a fuckin wanker with no heart or character. In tests and even 50 over games he will be exposed as being gutless and unable to apply himself. In a 2020 if it doesn't go your way you can get away with it cos it's just a quick slap and bash affair. You're expected to get caned in the bowling and if you throw your wicket away it doesn't really matter cos you only have to bat for 20 overs. I hate Oram. Cockroach.

Great display from Krauts. Argentina had no reply and gave it away second half. Very low key sideline display from Maradona, expected him to be psyched for this one as he has been in previous games but he just looked nervous and failed to provide inspiration. Nothing from Messi, Tevez tried hard, he was the only Argie that fought till the end. Germany were just awesome though.
Spain still looked far from convincing in their game. Fernando Torres should be benched for the semi, he's started every game and done nothing. Paraguay had their best game of the tournament. Unlucky.
I think the problem with these penalties and referees stems from the refs not being qualified to ref at this level. It's fucking ridiculous to have these refs from Japan and this clown from Guatamala reffing these big games. All the refs from the second round onwards should be from the big league, Premiership, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A. They won't be starstruck by the big name players and are used to being in charge on the big stage. I've seen it on a number of occasions in this cup where the refs are almost sucking up to the players when there's a dispute about a decision. All smiles etc. The refs have to be tougher on the players. Dives should be ignored or carded and player dissent should not be tolerated. Just send a few guys off and it'll stop.
Sepp Blatter and his cronies won't do anything about bringing in replays. He's to busy accepting kickbacks, screwing high end hookers, staying in posh hotels and getting his ass kissed to actually do any work.

I like The Ritual, I'm no adverse to a bit of lighter material from bands, provided it's done well. And I think Testament pulled it off, in my opinion.
jimmyjames wrote:
Still worth a trip, Testament are real cool. What do you think of their album The Ritual? Gets real mixed reviews, people either love it or hate it.
Becks wrote:
I'd probably only be able to afford to go for a weekend to Sydney, cos the show there is on the saturday LOL!!!
jimmyjames wrote:
That would be cool, might as well take in a couple of shows if you're gonna be there, maybe Sydney and Brisbane.
Becks wrote:
I have airpoints that need using so I am sorely tempted to fly to Aussie to see Testament. They kick ass. I can't get to Paul Di'anno cos of work, damnit.
jimmyjames wrote:
Yeah, Overkill are in Australia soon too and nothing for here. Sucky. At least we got Paul Dianno to look forward to.

Testament - The Formation of Damnation.
Testament are playing in Australia in August - nothing for NZ as of yet. Stupid.
Went to see Paul Dianno a couple of nights ago, good show. Played a lot of Maiden stuff including the whole first Maiden album. Was lucky enough to spend a few minutes talking to Dianno after the show which was cool, photos etc. Nice guy, a bit drug fucked though. but still a legend of metal. Awesome to meet him.
Went to see Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees and Queens Of the Stone Age last night. Great two man accoustic show. If anyone gets the chance I would recommend seeing Lanegan, really intense performer, cool lyrics, wicked voice.
After last nights beating of Brazil I may have to revise what I said about Holland not winning the cup. That win will give them a lot of confidence going into their semi. I too hope Holland axe Uruguay. Cheating bastards. Gut wrenching choke for Ghana. Penalties really do suck. I hope to see no more shootouts during the tournament.
Holland and Brazil dominant last night. I don't think Holland can win it but you never know, it only takes one goal. Sounds like a dumb thing to say when they've got guys like Kuyt, Robben, Sneider and Van Persie out there but I think in the past they've had better sides than they do now and not been able to crack it and it'll be the same this time. I only saw the first half of Brazil/Chile but from what I saw Brazil handled Chiles good start well and then capitalised clinically when their chances came. Definately a final contender ( as always ).
Looking forward to tonights Spain/Portugal match. Hopefully Torres can get out of this slump he's in and get a few goals.
Awesome display from the Krauts, absolutely carved up England. Thought the game could have been a little different if the ref had of allowed Englands second goal. It took Germany a while to settle after Englands first strike and an equaliser could have really rattled them. However, didn't happen and the Bosch finished strongly. Argentina all over Mexico. I only saw the first half but they looked to be the better team by far, I guess the final result showed they were. The Bosch/Argies clash in the quarters will be a cracker if both sides play like they did today. Shame they can't meet in a semi or final. Whoever wins that game would probably be favoured to win the tournament. Spain/Portugal should be a cracker too. I'm picking the Spanish and would love for them to win it because I can't stand Christiano Ronaldo.
Jimmy, you took the time to look that up and post it here for me. I get it now. You love me!
I'm blushing. This is cool, it's like you're stalking me. I'm flattered, it must be my charisma, it
does overwhelm at times. You'll have to let it go though, I'm already involved. Forget me man,
just move on. In time it will be like you never knew me. Scary thought, I know, but it's how it has to be.

I never had a problem with any Priests. I was never an alter boy. The only reason I'm discussing religion
right now is because you're asking me questions about it. I think it always leads to conflict because my
experience has been whenever it's brought up to me and I tell people how I feel and that I have no use
for religion and would rather not discuss it then it leads to an interrogation of why. I just don't want to talk about it.
It's that simple. My only purpose here is to get along with Priest fans. Share stories, pics, whatever. I do not
want to have drawn out discussions about religion. You make it sound as though I'm constantly posting
negative posts about religion when out of 1000(roughly) posts I've left here only a few have been about god.
I don't have quite the problem with religion that you're leading onto. I'm not responding to any more questions
about it. The funny thing is that I've actually tried to get along with you, I think you just enjoy fucking with me.

I was imagining standing over Jimmyjames while he was gasping for one last breath, trying to suck in
the lifeblood oxygen through his bloody shattered teeth. Watching the blood bubble as he exhales after
violently trying to suck in precious air. Imagining the sickening look on his face as blackness nears.
Looking into his eyes, smiling down at him as fear engulfs his body. Then reaching down and gently
pinching his nose until his carcass goes limp. Ahh', the imagination is such a wonderful thing.
Wow, brilliance! Jimmy nutsack is so clever.
I should just leave here.How can I comeback
to such an outstanding comeback.
Come on nutsack, dazzle us with another one.

Good wins to Uruguay and Ghana, some great goals from both of those teams. Seemed to be a bit more intensity now that it's do or die. I thought that when it went to extra time the US had the game for the taking, Ghana looked out on their feet. Wasn't to be though. One of the goals of the tournament for Ghana in extra time.
Tonights games I'm picking the Hun and Argentina, pissed off I have to go to work at half time in the Argie game.

If they put out a studio album equal in quality as Angel Of Retribution I'll gladly support the band by buying 5 copies,approx.about $100.00 bucks no problem!!! When Angel Of Retribution was released I bought 10 copies and passed them out to friends! But I had more money 5 years ago than I have now(lol!) but yeah,I'll easily buy 5 copies of the album,it would be worth it for me personally.

Nostradamus was released in July 2008 almost 2 years ago,and for the band to strike up a any kind of a tour for the Nostradamus album even if its a short one is almost taking a step backwards.
Same goes for if they don't do a Nostradamus tour and do a 30 year aniversary tour for Screaming For Vengeance in 2011 they would be taking a step backwards,something the band has never done before,the British Steel aniversary was fresh and new and thats all good but to tour another 30 year old album instead of creating something new would be heartbreaking.
They really have us all by the balls here,its like watching a game go into overtime on the edge of your seat pulling for victory and if it doesn't happen its a major letdown. All we can do is what we all obviously know....sit back and fucking "wait". This band means a HELL of alot to myself and millions of other fans and there is nothing we want more than a brand new studio album,but we also have to realize that we might not get one,that is fuckin scarry hellrider. We need to bribe them....lets say if they put out an album as strong as Painkiller we will all buy 2 copies!!!! Somethings got to give hellrider!! lol!

Do you think we’ll see a full-scale Nostradamus tour?We really want to do that. I still remember the day when Glenn, K.K. and myself were working over at Glenn’s house — and I think we were about three or four songs into the record — and I said, “Let’s just put a statement out on our website and tell everybody what we’re doing because I’m really afraid that someone else is doing this somewhere.” From that moment, we said that we were going to really push the heavy metal boat out and do something extraordinary. We’ve achieved that with the music, and we still want to do it on stage. We were in Hollywood recently and met with some producers and agents, so there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes.
NOT ONLY DOES THIS REALLY PISS ME OFF

Which makes me wonder why he ( Woods ) wasn't started in the Paraguay game. Fallon was ineffective against Slovakia and Italy and didn't make the most of his chances. Also Mcglinchy didn't even get a chance to come on as a sub, he couldn't have been worse than Killen. Herbert really got our attack wrong. Awesome job everywhere else but our strikers only got one goal between them in three games. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 25, 2010 5:47:02 PM)

The midfield did do well, but they are aging so it's time for new guys to come through Wood always has an impact of some sort when he comes on, which is great.

Highlight of the World Cup for me so far The French performance. Not the best of starts for them with star player Frank Ribery being investigated by the police for paying for sex with underage prostitutes. The rest of their cup being dominated by infighting, players and coach at loggerheads, refusing to train, dressing room arguments, Anelka being sent home, the French Minister of Sport being dispatched by the President of France to sort the squabbling bitches out, finishing last in their pool, Domenich refusing to shake hands with the South African coach and lastly having their first class flights home down graded to economy by the French Football Association. Brilliant, you couldn't write a better script.

Can only "stomach" one of her albums? That sounds like you'd put up with it once in a while if you had to. You said you loved it and it was one of your favourite albums. Regardless of whether your 44 or 45 or whatever, the fact is that you're a MIDDLE AGED MAN who has admitted to loving the music of Alanis Morrisette in a public place. That deserves taking the piss out of. I can just imagine you driving around with this cranking, singing along, people in the car next to you at the traffic lights going "What the fuck.....?"
It was other posts also. You're doing it now. I'm 44 and can only stomach one of her albums.
Others posted having The Carpenters or Abba etc. in their collection but you chose me to ridicule.
I never had a problem with any Priests. I was never an alter boy. The only reason I'm discussing religion
right now is because you're asking me questions about it. I think it always leads to conflict because my
experience has been whenever it's brought up to me and I tell people how I feel and that I have no use
for religion and would rather not discuss it then it leads to an interrogation of why. I just don't want to talk about it.
It's that simple. My only purpose here is to get along with Priest fans. Share stories, pics, whatever. I do not
want to have drawn out discussions about religion. You make it sound as though I'm constantly posting
negative posts about religion when out of 1000(roughly) posts I've left here only a few have been about god.
I don't have quite the problem with religion that you're leading onto. I'm not responding to any more questions
about it. The funny thing is that I've actually tried to get along with you, I think you just enjoy fucking with me.
Just stop posting after me and I'll do the same with you.

If you're referring to me taking the piss out of you for being into Alanis Morrisette it's nothing personal. I would take the piss out of any 45 year old man who states in a public forum that he enjoys music of Alanis Morrisette. It's music for scorned, man hating, teenage females Bud.
How does discussing religion lead to conflict? I know you can bring up the Crusades and Hitlers attept to eradicate the jews and so forth and say that religion has caused a lot of wars blah blah, but seriously, this is an internet chatroom. There's not going to be any conflict because people decide to talk about religion. It's just another subject. And one that you seem to have strong feelings about, so why not discuss it? Did you have a bad experience with a priest when you were an altar boy or something?

who knows if that will ever really take place.
Actually I agree with Hellrider there. Sure Snotradamus has a few heavy songs like Prophecy, Nostradamus, Future Of Mankind etc. but a large portion of the album is shite like that. It literally is. Take that song, chuck an electric guitar solo on it and get Halford to sing it instead of that guy and it would fit on Snotradamus perfectly.

Once I was in the front row at a Slayer show and between songs Tom Araya was talking crap like " This song is about when you get a girl and cut off her legs.....etc " He about 6 ft away from me so I yelled out " Why don't you just shut up and play another song " It stopped him dead and he just looked at me puzzled so I yelled " Get on with it, play another song " They went straight into another song. That was funny. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Monday, June 21, 2010 6:55:26 PM)

This is stupid but I'm going to tell it anyway. I just started laughing today for no real reason except I remembered something from years ago. My art teacher had a personalized license plate. The plate said her initials. D.A.F. and then a space and to end it ART so when you were the casual glancer at the plate it said. DAF ART.

Honestly, that is what I (and many) really cannot stand in football. That bad acting. He runs into Kaká's shoulder with his chest and grabs his face sending Kaká out on a red?!? At least with Ice Hockey or American Football, when they are down, they have blood on the field / ice and, or broken bones! Wimps.

Since he had already been sent of Kaka should have gone over and kicked him in the head. If you're gonna get sent off for nailing another player, you might as well absolutely axe the worthless bastard. Like Roy Keane did here.
Yeah, they had a whole analysis of that in the studio after the game. Looks like the Ivory Coast player simply saw a good opportunity to screw Brazil, and went for it. Unfortunately, he succeded. Then it was all that business with the rest of them. If Kakas temamates wouldnt surround him, there probably would have been his blood on the field. Nope, Ivory Coast didnt turn me on with that. Theyre playing with North Korea next, which is just as well. I wouldnt have rooted for them in any case, not after this.

I know that but I just think Woods is a class player all round and Fallon is overrated. Good in the air but thats about it. Experienced team that they are the Italians nullified him pretty easily. Don't get me wrong though, if Fallons out there I want him to do well. Would love to see him prove me wrong. I just think the fact that Fallons father is highly respected in NZ footballing circles has given him an advantage when it comes to selection over players who may be more deserving or in Woods case have the potential to go all the way. In saying that Fallon did score the goal that got NZ there so for that alone i guess it's fair that he start.
Ricki Herbert had to pull Fallon off today, he uses his elbows to when he jumps (as a lot of people do) but the Italians were taking full advantage of it.

As for ties, if our teams make it to the playoffs, you wont have to put up with those anymore, because there cant be a tie in playoffs.

I was watching and it appeared to me that all the players were pushing and shoving and whatnot. Nothing glaringly obvious that I could see.

We were cheated against Spain, they got cheated in the quarterfinals, Italy was cheated, South Korea has only the refs to thank that they got so far... This is nothing in comparison.
In any case - we will finally be on the same page on Sunday! Beat Italy, and I will move to New Zealand and marry your coach.

As for ties, if our teams make it to the playoffs, you wont have to put up with those anymore, because there cant be a tie in playoffs.
Im just a little bit pissed on the supporters of both countries. Youtube comments always make me feel like a nuclear war wouldnt be such a bad thing, but this is something new alltogether.

I didn't bring up Pele, you did. I didn't dispute anything you said. What are you going on about? So your on the Brazil bandwagon, that's great. I hope they do well for you. What is your point exactly? Gaping hole in the logic of not wanting to comment on a player I haven't seen? You're insinuating that that is some kind of cop out. Using your Led Zep example, if someone was to say "I think Led Zep is the best band ever." and I said " I've never heard them, I can't say." What's wrong with that?

Ah yes, but that goes back to the old adage of "the lack of being able to make a comment is still a comment in and of itself."
No need for further comment (or lack thereof), I just find a gaping hole in such spurious logic. Not having "seen" makes one unable to comment. It all depends on your frame of reference. Ask a youngster nowadays as to who is the better singer: Madonna or Lady GaGa. Back when the FIFA vote of "player of the century" came around, the people were going for Maradona because he was fresher in the minds of those who didn't know much about Pelé. They figured out quickly that their sampling would be skewed due to the age of the respondants. It is just common sense. Which war had the greatest impact? Trojan, 1000 years, WWI or Iraq? Well, I didn't live through the first three. Would any comment I make about them be any less valid or should I just claim the inability to judge because there were no "imbedded journalists" in the first three?

Back to your comment about Pelé....following your logic that he stopped playing before you were born, I question how you can comment on BANDS that stopped playing before you were born. I can all but guarantee that you never saw a Led Zep concert. Did it minimize their influence in the music world? Priest, for that matter? I think not. You gather your information from recordings, awards, impact on the genre and the like. In a similar fashion, you can find footage of Pelé who, I guarantee, revolutionized the game. Again, while Maradona was a good player, time will prove that he had no such longevity nor impact on the game as a whole. Never called "O Rei" (King) of Football, never had a civil war stop to watch him play (Nigeria, if I recall) or named Athlete of the Century by organizations as varied as FIFA (2000), France, UNICEF, England, USA, South America, etc.
Ask someone younger than yourself. I will bet you money that someone 10 years younger would be hard-pressed to name Madona's home country.

Yeah I like the golden goal method. If after extra time a result has not been reached the sides just carry on playing until somebody scores. Sides may be out on their feet but it brings fitness and fortitude into it. Logistically replaying the game is to much hassle and penalties are a lottery.

Never seen Pele, he was finished years before I was born, so can't comment. If I was to compare the 02 tournament to the 06 tournament, I would say 02 sucked. That's from someone who has no stake in who wins it. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, June 18, 2010 8:28:13 PM)

I am a fan and I wouldn't say that either tourny sucked. Sorry to disagree. Call it bias for Brasil if you like.
Also, while I admit Maradona was a fine player and I have even had the good fortune to see him in person a few times, he burned out quickly and didn't hold a candle to the likes of someone such as Pelé who was on three WC winning squads. By no means was that a coincidence.

Sour grapes for what? I don't really support any team as such. Be nice to see our guys do well but they are no hope of winning it. We haven't even been in the World Cup much, this is only our second time, the last time was in 82. So as to who wins it, it doesn't really bother me either way. I just like football in general. It's just been a coincidence that Brazil won the last two crappy cups in 02 and 94, that's all. Any fan would tell you those two tournaments sucked.
Maradona was the best ever. Coke or no coke.

Ha! Sour grapes, I say. Brazil just "happens" to win? They must have paid off the right people. Nope, certainly couldn't have had anything to do with actual talent. Five times.
As for Maradona, were I that hyped up on coke at the time, I think I'd play much better too. He WAS a fine player. I suppose drug arrests take a lot out of a guy.

The 02 World Cup was a shocker in every way. It's funny, crappy World Cups seem to be won by Brazil. 02 was a horrible tournament as was 94, both were won by Brazil. Best World Cups in recent history, 06 ( Italy winners ) and 86 ( Argentina winners ).

Nah, no offside, at least not where I could see it... In any case, yeah, good summary. In any case, we have to give it to the refs on this cup. Save for Slovenia vs Usa and Germany vs Serbia, referees on this cup are very professional, and there were very few controversial decisions. If anyone remembers 2002 world cup... That was awfull. We were cheated against Spain, they got cheated in the quarterfinals, Italy was cheated, South Korea has only the refs to thank that they got so far... This is nothing in comparison.
In any case - we will finally be on the same page on Sunday! Beat Italy, and I will move to New Zealand and marry your coach.

Just found a video of the goal, not sure what was going on, the screen thing said offside, but I'm not sure. The ref saw 'something' cos he blew the whistle before the ball went in. Who knows what he saw though lol. Ah well, as harsh as it sounds, shit happens, deal with it. No point dwelling on shit referees, cos unfortunately they will be encountered in even professional sport. Focus on the next game. I think a draw is a fair result, both teams had defensive lapses from what I saw, and the game was pretty even.

Well, ill stick to my opinion, regardless of the shitstorm that seems to have engulfed every web page that ends either with .si or .us... The goal was regular, and it was a nice one too.

As for ties, if our teams make it to the playoffs, you wont have to put up with those anymore, because there cant be a tie in playoffs.

On another reffing note, anyone remember this piece of ridiculousness from the '02 world cup? Stupid Rivaldo, I was cheering for Turkey then he goes and gets one of their players sent off.
Yeah, they are looking good. One thing that really cracks me up is all the hype surrounding England at World Cups and how dismally they perform. I Hope Slovenia bury England, they don't deserve to go through. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 18, 2010 8:15:29 PM)

Same with football, thats why they have the group stage. Anyone can beat anyone thats why you play off against each other to see who goes through.

As for ties, if our teams make it to the playoffs, you wont have to put up with those anymore, because there cant be a tie in playoffs.
Im just a little bit pissed on the supporters of both countries. Youtube comments always make me feel like a nuclear war wouldnt be such a bad thing, but this is something new alltogether.

Then how the hell can you watch baseball. It's hardly full throttle. Also in American sports why is the final result best out of 7 or whatever. Why not just have one game, Baseball, Hockey and Basketball all have a final series rather than a one off. How can you watch?

In theory, yes. You are right. BOTH sides play to win. However, I have seen professional teams playing "NOT to lose". Playing it safe. Not taking chances. Whatever. For me, you do whatever you can, including cheat! If you aint cheatin, you aint tryin....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Fact is, you do what you can and try what you can and hope you get away with it. WINNING is what matters. If they did away with this silly "points" nonsense and required losers to GO HOME you might see a significant increase in passion, my friend!
I am not much for all of the subtleties. I like passionate, full throttle action. I like kill or be killed mentality. I like that raw, take no prisoners attitude. For me, professional sport is about winning at all costs. WIN WIN WIN. Nothing else is acceptable.

Oh, come on... Both sides play to win, and sometimes it just happens that both sides are equally good. Besides, when there has to be a winner there are tiebreakers. Right now, they play for points.
As far as refs are concerned.. Sometimes refs do influence the outcome of the match. If it wasnt for refs, France wouldnt even be on the cup, thats how much they can influence things. But yeah, no point dwelling on it, and the human element thing is interesting, I must say.

94 sucked. The final was decided on penalties. 86 was the best tournament in my life time. Check out Maradonas two goals against England on youtube, one was a handball that still pisses off the English. The other was one of the greatest individual goals ever.

It's quite a simple game, you have to get the ball into the other teams net without using your hands or making excessive contact. There is a time limit and the score is what it is when the time has elapsed. Draws actually make the tournament more interesting by increasing the number of possible outcomes. Also great if your into gambling, more possibilities up the odds. If you give it a chance Football will grow on you.

Spain are the biggest chokers in world football. They always look awesome on paper, do everything right and then when it comes to the crunch they mess it up. That's why everyone was so surprised when they won the European Cup in 08. Because they'd actually performed to the level everyone expected of them. Hopefully they will win their next two games and go through, it would be a shame if the tournment lost them after the group stage. They have some fantastic players and when they're on they are one of the best teams in the world. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Wednesday, June 16, 2010 1:59:55 PM)

I'm gutted at how little support our boys got from our nation. Makes me want to cry.
You sit there and support your boys to the bitter end... not just when the going is good.

Seeing Australia get absolutely smashed by the Germans at the World Cup. Those bastards deserved every second of the misery the Bosch inflicted on them after their unsporting display in a so-called "friendly" against NZ just prior to the cup. 4 - 0, could have easily been 6 or 7 nil. What a brilliant way to start the week.

No, Stained Class, Painkiller and DOTF are all better than British Steel. United and Living After Midnight are terrible songs and I reckon Breaking The Law is boring as well. Six good songs out of nine does not make it the jewel in the crown.
They've gone and done exactly what I had hoped they wouldn't do and released a fucking long album. This is gonna be hard to get into. El Dorado didn't sound too bad though. Might try and get a download of it. Gay cover by the way. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Tuesday, June 08, 2010 12:03:27 AM)

IRON MAIDEN: New Album Details Revealed - June 7, 2010 *cough*badalbumcover*cough*
The European release date for IRON MAIDEN's much-anticipated new studio album, "The Final Frontier", is now confirmed for Monday, August 16. The CD features artwork (see below) illustrated by Melvyn Grant and, to mark the occasion, the band has made special arrangements for one new album track, "El Dorado", to be made available worldwide as a FREE digital download MP3 with immediate effect via www.ironmaiden.com. The song can also be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
Singer Bruce Dickinson explains, "'El Dorado' is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our 'Final Frontier World Tour' (which opens in Dallas on June 9) we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into 'The Final Frontier' mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release."
The band reunited with long-time MAIDEN producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios, Nassau to record the album and then moved to The Cave Studios in Malibu, California to finish the recording and do the mixing. Compass Point Studio is very familiar to the band, it was where they recorded the "Piece Of Mind" (1983), "Powerslave" (1984) and "Somewhere In Time" (1986) albums.
Bruce comments: "The studio had the same vibe and it was EXACTLY as it had been in 1983, NOTHING had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner... same carpet... everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album."
30 years on from their eponymous debut album in April 1980, "The Final Frontier" will be MAIDEN's 15th studio album, making a remarkable average of a new album every two years for 30 years and totaling over 80 million album sales during this period.
"The Final Frontier" track listing (total running time 76:35):
01. Satellite 15....The Final Frontier (8:40)
02. El Dorado (6:49)
03. Mother Of Mercy (5:20)
04. Coming Home (5:52)
05. The Alchemist (4:29)
06. Isle Of Avalon (9:06)
07. Starblind (7:48)
08. The Talisman (9:03)
09. The Man Who Would Be King (8:28)
10. When The Wild Wind Blows (10:59)
"The Final Frontier World Tour" begins in Dallas on June 9 with 25 shows in major cities across the USA and Canada, playing to an expected 350,000 fans or more. Following this the tour will ship over to Europe starting in Dublin on July 30 and playing a few selected major festivals and stadiums , finishing in Valencia, Spain, on August 21 and including a concert in Transylvania.
Says bass player and founder member Steve Harris: "We're hugely excited about this tour. I think the fans will really like the brand new stage production and lights and we will also be debuting one of the new album tracks , 'El Dorado'. Our Texan fans will be the very first people anywhere to hear it live, so it will be interesting to see their reaction and how it goes down with the crowd on the night! Eddie has changed a bit for this tour but is possibly the most outrageous one to date... I can't say too much about him as don't want to spoil the surprise but I guarantee he will scare the hell out of you!"
Hey guys, the latest show is up. It's at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz. The station manager told me the other day that Metal Meltdown is the most listened to show the station has, so thanks to all of you who have been tuning in. Some of the bands you can hear this week are Kyuss, Evile, ASG, Morbid Angel and Priest.
Post any requests in here or send me a PM. Enjoy the show. JJ.

Yeah true, Australia had to rebuild massively so they're due to start winning again. Speaking of coaches, I lived in Christchurch when Robbie Deans missed the coaching job, man it was unbearable cos Cantabrians are the most one eyed rugby fans you'll ever meet LOL!

I'd say if we keep on playing how we are we will really push a few teams in the WC. After this mornings win the other teams in our pool will be sitting up and taking more notice.

I have never understood the people who decide they dont need pit sauce! My brother in law didn't wear deodorant and would take his t shirts off and put them back in his drawer, until I threatened his life! The whole house was beginning to smell funny and then when I went to put his clothes away, I found out why!
What is it with some europeans and not wanting deodorant? The bus line in Greece practically needs a gas mask to surivive.

When it comes to lyrical abilty Ozzy wins hands down. Look at the first six Sabbath albums, up to and including Sabotage, and you have some of the best metal lyrics ever. Ozzy's voice fits Sabbath, and so his voice has to go down as perfect for one of the greatest metal acts.
Dio had the better voice, for sure. His work on Rainbow Rising and Heaven and Hell is awesome. His writing is not as good as Ozzy's.
They are both metal legends with voices that fit the moment. Dio the better voice, but Ozzy the better wordsmith.

Brian, got some Van Halen in there for you, Enjoy.
Acolyte, The Fight song you requested is also in there
I found this before. Had no idea Dio had ever recorded a version of this song. Everyone really should check this out, Yngwie Malmsteen on guitar too. The video is something different but the song is wicked!
I must be mistaken on that one. I thought they had a different singer. I thought
Coverdale joined them after I saw them. I see where Coverdale left the band
around the time I saw them. I'm not sure if I saw a tour they did without him or not.

It was in a theater and all three bands were badass. Priest blew me away and I've been a fan
ever since.
2. Kiss (New England) 1979 Dynasty Tour-Pittsburgh
...I was 13 years old and I was seeing my favorite band. They were the biggest spectacle in rock
at the time. Gene breathing fire and spitting blood. Ace shooting fireworks out of his guitar.
The drumrisers. The fire and explosions. etc.etc...Very memorable experience.
3. Pink Floyd 1987 Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour-Cleveland Munincipal Stadium
...I managed a couple pieces of paper which made this the most (visual) experience I ever had at
a concert. This was the biggest production that I have ever seen live. It would take me too long to try to describe it.
They claimed it was their biggest touring production.
4. Metallica (Suicidal Tendencies) (Fight) 1994-Burgettstown,Pa.
...Probably the overall heaviest concert that I went to. I've seen Metallica 10 times and that was their best performance.
It was Suicidal Tendencies' last hurrah and they went out with a bang. Very good live performance.
And of course, Fight. They kicked ass also. I think because of the line-up all three bands went out of their way
to see how heavy they could be. Freakin' awesome concert.
5. Black Sabbath (Pantera) 1999 Re-union Tour-Pittsburgh
...I saw them two years earlier at Ozzfest but they had a different drummer. This was the first time with the original
line-up. Ozzy didn't sound too bad, probably his last decent tour (performance wise). Any way it was a dream of mine to see these
guys and I finally got to. Pantera kicked ass also. I had front row seats to top it all off. Very memorable experience. Edited at: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 7:03:42 AM

It took too long to type out that list. Half way through I wanted to stop but it took so long
I felt I had to keep going so as not to have wasted all that time. As for which stand out as best and worst
I started a thread on here called favorite concert experiences and why. I gave a top 5 list, check it out.
As for worst that's a little harder. I saw a band called Sad Cafe open for Rush on the Hemispheres tour that totally sucked.
Overall worst concert had to have been Saliva. They weren't (too) bad but it was a day long festival that had all suck ass
bands like Yellowcard and Saves the Day and shit like that. If you notice these bands aren't even on my list of bands
seen because I hated them so bad.

The whole thing cracks me up actually. In fairness he does sound pretty good in some of it. And he has soldiered on for the last 30 years flying the metal flag. Be nice if Iron Maiden would invite him up on stage once in a while, he was a huge part of their history. It would have been ace if they'd brought him along on the Somewhere Back In Time Tour, he could have done two or three songs to give Bruce a break.

Majestyks reaction is priceless. He comes in, surveys the slaughter of all those innocent watermelons and the camera zooms in on his hand as his fist clenches. It's brilliant. After that he goes on killing spree, as you do when you see watermelons suffer.
Hey guys, check out the latest Metal Meltdown at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz. It's a special Ronnie James Dio tribute show and runs a bit longer, about two and a half hours. The show is all RJD. Hope you guys like it. JJ.
Brian, I will play your request next week, had to change the whole show the day before recording after RJD passed away.
I love that movie. That bit where the bad guys come in and shoot up all his watermelons is a crack up. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brian_Evans from Friday, May 21, 2010 12:02:25 AM)

This is taken from the Live at Radio City Music Hall dvd. I was lucky enough to see RJD and Heaven And Hell about two months after this was recorded when they did a show here in NZ. I was absolutely amazed at the power of Dios voice ( at the age of 65 ) and his enthusiasm and graciousness toward the fans. It was a great show.
Sorry to hear that news Ron. Best wishes to you and your family. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ron h from Tuesday, May 18, 2010 7:53:43 AM)

Good morning my Metal friends!!
I just want to take a moment to let my friends know that my father passed away last night. We brought him home last Friday as he became too weak to endure anymore treatment and his health declined quickly. Fortunately, he was home, medicated and we were with him when his time came. Over the last couple of weeks he got to meet his great-grandkids, he was responsive to this and very happy. I am also greatful that Bev had the opportunity to meet and spend time with him back in March. He had been battling this for 5 years and we're greatful for every minute we had with him. Cancer is a son of a bitch. Dad, I love you!!
All this talk of beer is making me crave beer. I am extremely weak willed and undisciplined when it comes to beer, can't help myself. Love it. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Saturday, May 15, 2010 6:58:59 PM)

Most Micros will "put you in your place" buzz wise. Guido introduced me to a place in Nashville that let's you take a "Growler" (half gallon) with you. Called Blackstone Brewing Company. Damn fine beers. Fine beer if you wish to continue your buzz. I'll let Guid explain why they are called growlers because I will mess it up. lol

We have many Micro brews here in the states, and if you ever get a chance to test a "Dixie Blackened Voodoo" it's like a sweeter version of Harps and I don't normally like sweet, but it's good. I love it. Could be because I olnly see it about once every five years, but I would recommend trying one.

Any bar that doesn't do fast beer doesn't get my patronage. I was at this Dutch bar once and he handed me the beer half beer half head. He was pretty upset when I made him fill it to the top and then skulled it back. The only beer I wait for is Guinness. And that only takes a few minutes.

They're not really metal enough, I played them once or twice before and it didn't really fit the show but in saying that they are a huge influence on the metal scene.

Hey Jimmy, how about some Van Halen or are they not metal enough for your show? Dirty Movies from Fair Warning.
Hey guys, the latest show is available to listen to at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz
Loads of good stuff this week, Motorhead, Dio, Alice Cooper, Down and of course Priest plus more. Check it out.
Any requests just post in here or send me a PM. Enjoy JJ.
Haha I love Hot Rockin, it cracks me up. I just find it a good song to listen to and enjoy for what it is, a bit of silliness.
I think Reckless is a great track off Turbo, I also enjoy Out in the Cold and Locked In is alright too.
jimmyjames wrote:
I hardly ever listen to Turbo but I have to say the only song off it I find stupidly annoying is Parental Guidance. The rest of it I can take or leave. On Point Of Entry there's three songs I can't stand, Hot Rockin' as you know, You Say Yes and Don't Go. The other four songs, Troubleshooter, On The Run, Turning Circles and All The Way, I can take or leave. I find it hard to imagine you getting into Turning Circles.
J.D. DIAMOND wrote:
Well thats your opinion and your definately entitled to it,but in my opinion Hot Rockin' blows the shit out of ANY song off Turbo. And Turning Circles is a good track too. The 5 songs that I think are crap are Don't Go,You Say Yes,Trouble Shooter,All The Way and On The Run. And Nostradamus vs.Turbo,I'd take Nostradamus but not by much,at least they don't look like a bunch of glam posers on that album/live show lol!
jimmyjames wrote:
86 was a shit year for metal. However of all the corny, commercial, light metal albums Tubo is the best. Priest had a crack at taking on the likes of Europe, Ratt and Dokken and all those other god awful bands at their own game and beat them in my opinion. Turbo is pretty average in comparison to DOTF, SWOD, Stained Class, SFV, BS but it's so much better and has stood the test of time better than everything else that came out at that time. I walked into a bar in Vancouver a couple of years ago and Turbo Lover was cranking and the bar was going off, people were loving it. So anyway Turbo is a classic, probably one of the best light commercial metal albums ever. I've gotten way more enjoyment from Turbo than Nostradamus.
Point Of Entry has three great, classic metal songs, Desert Plains, Heading Out To The Highway and Solar Angels. The rest of it is crap. Everyone seems to like the song Hot Rockin' but I think it's a fucking stupid, shitty song and probably the second worst on the album after You Say Yes. Still though based on the strength of those three songs I would have to say it's a classic as they are that good. If I was compiling a 20 song Priest setlist Desert Plains, HOTTH and Solar Angels would be on it. Not sure if any of their other albums would get three songs in a dream setlist. There's not one song on Nostradamus that would make that setlist.
Yeah that the thing about it, it would almost be like putting on an opera or something with all the theatrics and props that would go along with telling the story. Funny that they'd release an album that would be so logistically difficult to tour. Also the longer they leave it the less likely it is to happen. Wonder if they'll do a one off performance of it maybe in New York or London. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, May 07, 2010 5:59:09 PM)

Again, I disagree. To perform Nostra properly in the manner it was presented would be a MAJOR project. Operatic complete with change of scenes, wardrobe, perhaps interludes, etc. A MAJOR expense. Were I in the band's management, I'd have put it on the shelf as well. Figure out the venues, put out the proper announcements (something they have failed to do especially with the Florida tapiing), etc.
Sure, I'd love something new but the BS tour was a KILLER! I bought three sets of tix and drove hundreds of miles to see them. I would have done the same to catch Nostra just once.

Of course AMOLAD tour was a snorefest, the albums a shocker, really bad. I never saw them on the tour but if I was in the crowd and they spent 75 minutes of two hour show playing that I'd be pretty pissed off. I cant believe with their back catalogue of good songs they would even think of playing that in it's entirety. It's delusional.
If and when Maiden do their 30th anniversary Number Of The Beast Tour I will bag that as well if they milk it for as long as Priest have milked British Steel. And I'm sure they will by the way. Especially if Final Frontier is as crap as it looks like it's going to be.

Granted, Nostra would have had a limited audience and I don't think they could have pulled off a full tour but a few choice locations and I (and many) would have taken a plane to get there. What do you have to say about that snorefest that was the penultimate Maiden tour? It SUCKED!! Bruce himself even commented in many an interview how off-put he was at the poor reception of AMOLAD. What do they do? Follow up with a nostalgia tour with Somewhere in Time. Try to call back their fan-base. IMO, a way to excuse themselves from a sad album and sad tour.
Priest with BS just knocked them off the shelf even if Halford doesn't know how to fly a plane.

C'mon Vail, eveyone knows the reason they didn't tour Snotradamus is because if they had hardly anyone would have gone to see it. As far as BS goes, theyre flogging that for all it's worth because they haven't come up with any decent new material. Keeping metal alive is not the motive, they're trying to squeeze every last cent out of it before they have to put Halford in a wheelchair.

I hardly ever listen to Turbo but I have to say the only song off it I find stupidly annoying is Parental Guidance. The rest of it I can take or leave. On Point Of Entry there's three songs I can't stand, Hot Rockin' as you know, You Say Yes and Don't Go. The other four songs, Troubleshooter, On The Run, Turning Circles and All The Way, I can take or leave. I find it hard to imagine you getting into Turning Circles.

Well thats your opinion and your definately entitled to it,but in my opinion Hot Rockin' blows the shit out of ANY song off Turbo. And Turning Circles is a good track too. The 5 songs that I think are crap are Don't Go,You Say Yes,Trouble Shooter,All The Way and On The Run. And Nostradamus vs.Turbo,I'd take Nostradamus but not by much,at least they don't look like a bunch of glam posers on that album/live show lol!

86 was a shit year for metal. However of all the corny, commercial, light metal albums Tubo is the best.

Turbo is pretty average in comparison to DOTF, SWOD, Stained Class, SFV, BS but it's so much better and has stood the test of time better than everything else that came out at that time. I walked into a bar in Vancouver a couple of years ago and Turbo Lover was cranking and the bar was going off, people were loving it. So anyway Turbo is a classic, probably one of the best light commercial metal albums ever. I've gotten way more enjoyment from Turbo than Nostradamus.
Point Of Entry has three great, classic metal songs, Desert Plains, Heading Out To The Highway and Solar Angels. The rest of it is crap. Everyone seems to like the song Hot Rockin' but I think it's a fucking stupid, shitty song and probably the second worst on the album after You Say Yes. Still though based on the strength of those three songs I would have to say it's a classic as they are that good. If I was compiling a 20 song Priest setlist Desert Plains, HOTTH and Solar Angels would be on it. Not sure if any of their other albums would get three songs in a dream setlist. There's not one song on Nostradamus that would make that setlist.

Surely the tour was a flop because everyone had started getting into grunge at that point. Probably the reason they were dropped as well.

To be completely honest I used to think the same way,I used to put bands like Bon Jovi and Dangerous Toys in the same bag/label(glam/pussy rock bands), but then I said to myself: how bad they can be? I give 'em a listen, some of them were popy crap but some others actually has an edgy sound(Skid Row, early Motley Crue, Tigertailz and Dangerous Toys), most of the bands labelled as sleaze rock were bands doing a more edgy and less panzy hard rock, they had some ballads but the edgy sound was predominant and the lyrics were more about street/drinking life than lovey dovey crap, in contrast with the Cinderella, Poison and Bon Jovi crap glam/teen girl music, that's why I like the sleaze rock bands I listen,I have no mixed feeling with othrer more extre music I listenI mean I have no problem listen Dangerous Toys's "Hellacious Acres" and then later give a listen to Deströyer 666 "Phoenix Rising" or Vomitor's "Bleeding The Priest", matter of tastes I guess.
Oh, by the way, as curious data the Dangerous Toys vocalist was also vocalist of the technical thrash metal band Watchtower, plus the guy is also a big Priest fan, this is an ecerpt form an interview:
FIB MUSIC: I was privileged to catch a performance of Sad Wings, your Judas Priest tribute band, at a show in Dallas. You guys seemed to have a lot of fun with that. What's it like to do that project?
JM: I love Priest. I have toured with Priest, I can die a happy man being able to say that. The Sad Wings gig is just alot of fun, me and some friends came up with the idea to form the tribute after seeing a few tributes around the Texas area having so much fun, it was a no brainer that we needed a Priest tribute in Austin. There is one in Dallas as you know called Judas Rising, they have been real cool and we are playing with them June 20th in Dallas.

Just thinking about Aeroplanos post. Every Mothers Nightmare were a shit wannabe Skid Row. I went to University with a guy that liked them. This song used to drive me fucking mad. I hated it. It's like a poor mans version of I Remember You. It's called Love Can Make You Blind, I think it's about masturbating. When I found it on youtube I noticed it has only been viewed 21 times. No surprises there, it's fucking torture to listen to.
The thread has outgrown the "metal" tag and has metamorphosized into a thread that discusses all crappy rock and metal. Like this. Look at the bit where they're all standing around singing the chorus. Horrifying.
I'm not upset or else, just making the point that many times people call crappy "metal" bands that actually are not metal at all, calling them crappy for something they never intendend to sound like(Metal), for example LA Guns, for me is one good sleaze rock band(sleaze rock is an actual music genre,ex: Dangerous Toys, G n' R, Nasty Idols,Every Mother's Nightmare, Skid Row,etc) , of course if you put hem the label of metal someone could say:"that's metal???!! if it is, then is crappy metal!!", you see what am talking about??, on the other side I find this thread kinda fun, If people want to put band that aren't metal but are related in some sort of way to the genre, that's ok to me, sorry for my comments but I think a little of controversy is good to put some spice in topics haha.
PD: I find Tokyo Blade pretty metal to me, their firstwo albums are vey NWOBHM-esque, their later work, of course, slowly became more comercial hard rock/glam metal/glam rock oriented, like Saxon or Celtic Frost have done once in their careers.

I think this is one of the best Priest covers I've ever heard. Not only that, they attempted probably the hardest song Priest have, Painkiller. The vocals are obviously not as good as Halfords but this is still an awesome tribute to the Metal Gods.

Van Halen to me is just this kind of dorky 80s party music. I know EVH is one of the best ever and they sold millions of albums. I have most of the Roth albums but I haven't really listened to them in the last 15 years. I just find 90% their songs meaningless and stupid. And they're definately not metal, don't know how they got that gig supporting Sabbath in the late 70s, Snowblind vs Dance The Night Away, what a contrast. Weird.

TANK - Shellshock -Filth Hounds Of Hades -1982 First song off the album
I've had this LP for quite a while now since 1998 I think,very old primitive NWOBHM from England,this album gets shit on but I like it and consider it a classic,fast Eddie Clarke of Motorhead produced this one and is forgetton about,even I haven't pulled this one out of the vault in a long time but this album I'm playing today.

Hell yeah,how about Venom "Sons Of Satan" from the 1981 debut album "Welcome To Hell",this was the first track on the album(side one) that started all extreme metal.They are Godfathers of black metal,death metal,speed metal and thrash metal,all names Cronos came up with for Venom's style back in 1980 when the single "In League With Satan" was released,as you know before Venom there were no extreme metal bands,only heavy metal and punk .

One piece of incorrect information there that I just found out. Motley Crue are the
Co-headliners with Rob on the mainstage before them. Sorry for the miss-info.
Iced Earth's first 2 albums "Iced Earth"(1990) and Night Of The Stormrider(1992)are by FAR the 2 best Iced Earth albums of all,the other albums are in a compleately different style,but for some reason the first 2 albums I really like.
Some of those other bands I mentioned are not pure heavy metal jimmy,some are in a heavy metal/trash style like Hallow's Eve,Razor,Hirax and Deathrow but they still have some heavy metal influences,just mixed with thrash like old Metallica.
If you want any of these cds after you listen to them,let me know I'll burn you them so you don't have to hassle with it ect....

Absolutely not. There are no current bands that I've seen/heard that are grabbing my attention and have the british heavy metal sound with good song writting and good vocals,there is just not. There are many bands with good music but when the vocals start,it ruins it for me,just like Craig W. doesn't mind Saxon's music but for him its ruined when Biff starts to sing.
To me Biff is heavy metal's second best vocalist but to others Biff is irritating,it is what it is. But I just haven't heard anything that "kicks ass"....sure there are "ok" stuff but nothing that is exciting. I think bands should first focus on a good vocalist,then the song writting and I think they should up-tune thier guitars like British Steel,Blizzard Of Oz,ect....instead of down tuning them to go with the trend.

Naturally, with so many words within such a narrow span of meaning, there's a lot of overlapping, and their distinctions then lie in their usage.
I knew that the English language is rich, but this sure astonished me.
Actually, guys, I find a language thread quite in place on a Priest board, as the Priest guys are obviously well-read and profound.
Try listen to Nostra again and immerse yourself in the lyrics, and let yourself be taken by the depth of feeling, richness of metaphors, symbolism, references to classics etc.

To hell with crappy, they're downright shitty!
These guys are cool too and should be around for a long time. Only problem is their latest album, Crack The Skye is definately a little softer for want of a better word. Probably Mastodons equivalent to the Black album. Let's hope they don't go to shit like Metallica did. This song is off their Leviathan album from 04.
Look, I can't be bothered going on and on about this. I stand by everything I said in my original post on this subject. I feel the same way about the British Steel Re-rerelease or what ever the fuck it is. Instead of fucking around remixing, remastering or re whatever he's doing just stop putting out the same stuff in different fucking formats and put out something we haven't heard before. I don't care what's been done to them or how much better they sound, it's all stuff we've heard before. If you want to buy it great, I don't and think it's a cash grab, that's all. Difference of opinion.
#2, #3. I can understand rereleasing albums that are out of print for the benefit of new fans and people that don't have a copy and if your going to do that then absolutely remaster it. Why not take full advantage of the technology available. But if you're going to remix it so it's different from the original, i don't think that's on. That is something that you do to encourage people who already have the album to buy it again.
#4. He's not giving them anything, he's selling it.
#5. Live Insurrection, Live at Rock In Rio 3, Live at Anaheim.
#6. I can understand putting an extra track or two on an album for people who have to pay more for the product. It's not really fair on those that don't have to pay more but there it is. Things are looking up though, fans who didn't have to pay more for the original album now have the chance of getting the bonus tracks by purchasing the album again. Sweet.
I have to disagree with you on bonus tracks too. 95% of the time they are tracks that didn't make the cut on the original album and usually for good reason ( see the bonus tracks on the Priest remasters)
I'm not a "cheap fucker". Quite the opposite actually.
#7 Diehard fans usually do buy everything a band brings out. That's what makes them diehards. I really hope you enjoy your new Halford products. I"ll keep on enjoying my old ones.
Oh for fucks sakes man are you seriously doing this?
Now I gotta repeat everything I just said because your negative attitude can't seem to understand what is happening right now.
Fact #1.
You're a fucking douchebag.
#2. A Small Deadly Spacae wasn't released as a substandard product. An album is a band's mindset and vision at the time. Thats what they created. Most bands dont have the opportunity to go back and change stuff due to master tapes being lost and record contracts, rights, etc etc. Rob Halford acquired the rights and masteres to ALL his solo work recently. What would you do in that situation as a MUSICIAN who wants to express his art that is no longer available? RELEASE IT AGAIN DUMBASS. He's not guilty of putting out a substandard product, you're just a childish twat that wants the last word. Grow up. Its how people making MONEY. TO LIVE. Seriously, its amazing how fucking ignorant your being to me telling you that the remix is BETTER, and you just say "Pfft, no its not, your stupid, this is gay." You haven't even heard it. Did you even listen to the youtube clip I posted here? I really doubt you did. Seriously man, grow up.
#3. Every single one of his albums has been out of print for years. He's re-released them in NEW and improved formats, different verions for those who dont want to own the same product a couple times, etc etc.
#4. Rob isn't ripping the fans off. He's GIVING them back something they could no longer acquire. How's is that ripping them off? Or are you really that fucking cheap? These albums have not been available in stores for YEARS. Some of them over a decade. If you had the rights and the power to give thousands of people something they're all screaming for, would you give it to them? The thing is he's doing a lot more then just giving them the same thing again, he's making an overall better package, tweaking things that make it better, adding new audio and even artwork. Thats well worth buying it again a fucking DECADE later if you ask me.
#5. Where are you getting 3 live albums from out of the Halford catalogue. Last time I checked there is TWO live albums. Live Insurrection and the new 2 disc live set of the DVD coming out.
#6. Do you even understand why albums are released with bonus tracks? Obviously you dont from the way your talking about them. Bonus tracks are 100% of the time released in places like Japan and Russia and occasionally Europe because they PAY MORE for the albums. Why not give them a little something extra to compensate for the extra cost? Thats the whole point of bonus tracks. Rob's putting those bonus tracks on the albums now so that EVERYONE has a fair chance to get them. Its not a matter of why they weren't good enough in the first place, because they're obviously amazing fucking songs, its a gift to people that pay more for the album. Not cheap fuckers like yourself.
#7. Die hard fans won't and will not buy every single thing. I consider myself a die hard fan of Rob Halford associated things in general. I dont have every single Priest album. I dont have every single thing Rob's ever done. Am I gonna buy these 3 new releases? Fucking right I am, because there a WAYY BETTER PRODUCT THEN WHAT I ALREADY HAVE. Why WOULDN"T I buy Crucible remixed/remastered? Its got a better sound/production, its got more songs, more and new artwork and linear notes. Whats NOT to like?
Anyway enjoy your 10 year old Cd's. I can only imagine what kind of shit you'll reply to me with. Thing is everything I said is true, everything you've said so far is a piss poor attitude grasping for anything to fling at me to shut me down. That's called being a douchebag.

Well if you think the remixed version of Small Deadly Space is that much better why did Halford release a substandard original product. Obviously the production techniques have improved but if it's as good as you say it is he is guilty of putting out a substandard product and ripping off the fans.
I can't understand how three studio albums can warrant three live albums.
This practice of re-releasing albums with bonus tracks that didn't make the original cut stinks, it is a practice designed to sell the album again. If they weren't good enough then why now? Also rereleasing an album with a new track sucks too, do 1/10 of the work and make the same amount of money as you would if you wrote a whole new album because die-hard fans will want to have everything and buy it again. It's parasitic.
Bazookajoe_666 wrote:
You would want to purchase the album again because the remix is a million times better then the original? Like I just said. Remixes are DIFFERENT from the original. Its the songs reworked and in this case the remix is way better then the original. Production wise, vocal wise, instrument wise, arrangement wise, its ALL better.
And the main reason Halford is releasing all this stuff again IS BECAUSE ITS OUT OF PRINT. When was the last time you saw this shit in a music store? I for one personally can't wait for the Anaheim DVD and double live album because its gonna be fucking amazing.
Also can't wait for the Crucible remix/remaster because it DOES sound better, and it also has ALL of the Crucible songs you previously could only get on the Jap or Euro versions.
Is that not reason enough?
I'm not a picky person at all but when they is an overall BETTER product out there, why not get the best one available?
jimmyjames wrote:
No because I already own Fights two studio albums and resent the fact that Halford is trying to sell them to me again. And I don't really think Small Deadly Space was that good anyway so why would I want to purchase a remixed version of it.

Well thats not narrowminded at all.
Have you heard the remix of A Small deadly Space that comes in the Fight boxset? Its like a completely different album. AMAZING album as well.
jimmyjames wrote:
Here's what Halfords put out.
Resurrection (good), Crucible (good) and the lamo Winter Songs ( shit ). Three Studio albums plus Live Insurrection, Live Insurrection Remastered, Live at Rock In Rio, Live at Anaheim, Crucible Remastered and Metal God Essentials which has Fight and Halford tracks on it.
Also with Fight, War Of Words (good ),, Small Deadly Space (shit ), and Mutations ( shit ) which is four live tracks and four remixed tracks from War Of Words ( which are basically Fight wishing they were Fear Factory ), War Of Words The Demos ( why the fuck would anyone want the fucking demos when they have the album ) and Into The Pit the box set containing War Of Words, Small Deadly Space and Mutations plus a bonus dvd.
It's a crock of shit, a rip off and a con. And Small Deadly Space and Winter Songs are fucking bad albums.
I have War Of Words, Small Deadly Space, Resurrection, Crucible and Live Insurrection and don't think I need any more.
Stop ripping off the fans and put out either a new Halford album with no Christmas carols or a new Priest album where the only concept is loud, fast and heavy.

I'm one of the very few who are sickened and tired of all these remastered box-sets of albums that I already have,I'm tired of bands releasing shit that is rehashed in a slightly different format,and I'm also one of the very few who are tired of seeing bands preform an old album in its entirety.

I like it. That song is probably my favourite on the album. When I first heard it I thought the vocals were bit wrong but if you give it a few listens he sounds awesome. What I love about this album is that there are only 8 songs on it and it is under 50 minutes. That song, Snakes For The Divine is the longest at 8.24 so it's not one of those long drawn out 14 song 75 minute albums, it's easy to get into. Kind of like Metallica were doing with Ride and Master. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brian_Evans from Tuesday, April 27, 2010 11:15:21 AM)

fail to give today's music a chance because of it. Do you remember when we were young
and the older folks were asking "WTF are you listening to?" "All they do is scream and (twang)
on those damn guitars." All the while you were wryly grinning saying to yourself "You don't
have a clue." Well the tides have changed and now were the ones asking "WTF are you listening to?"
I've always tried to not get stuck in a rut like that. I enjoy alot of today's bands. I could do without
most of the (growl) thing but no-one is going to like everything. I love bands like Disturbed, Godsmack,Slipknot, System... and others. I think as long as we have angry youth we'll have heavy music albeit
different than what were used to. I'm glad music is ever evolving. This is just my opinion. It only
matters to me. I'm not trying to change anyone, I'm just trying to provoke thought. Peace!

Trust me when Priest,Saxon,Black Sabbath,Dio,King Diamond,Exciter and even Maiden retire and there are no more bands to take thier place,you will be the first one bitching about how there are no bands taking the torch of british styled heavy metal. Watch.

I like J.D. so I hope he doesn't take this as a shot at him. If today's bands tried to copy

there is no originality anymore. I think a lot of (us) older fans are resistant to change and
fail to give today's music a chance because of it. Do you remember when we were young
and the older folks were asking "WTF are you listening to?" "All they do is scream and (twang)
on those damn guitars." All the while you were wryly grinning saying to yourself "You don't
have a clue." Well the tides have changed and now were the ones asking "WTF are you listening to?"
I've always tried to not get stuck in a rut like that. I enjoy alot of today's bands. I could do without
most of the (growl) thing but no-one is going to like everything. I love bands like Disturbed, Godsmack,Slipknot, System... and others. I think as long as we have angry youth we'll have heavy music albeit
different than what were used to. I'm glad music is ever evolving. This is just my opinion. It only
matters to me. I'm not trying to change anyone, I'm just trying to provoke thought. Peace!
No because I already own Fights two studio albums and resent the fact that Halford is trying to sell them to me again. And I don't really think Small Deadly Space was that good anyway so why would I want to purchase a remixed version of it.

Also with Fight, War Of Words (good ),, Small Deadly Space (shit ), and Mutations ( shit ) which is four live tracks and four remixed tracks from War Of Words ( which are basically Fight wishing they were Fear Factory ), War Of Words The Demos ( why the fuck would anyone want the fucking demos when they have the album ) and Into The Pit the box set containing War Of Words, Small Deadly Space and Mutations plus a bonus dvd.
It's a crock of shit, a rip off and a con. And Small Deadly Space and Winter Songs are fucking bad albums.
I have War Of Words, Small Deadly Space, Resurrection, Crucible and Live Insurrection and don't think I need any more.
Stop ripping off the fans and put out either a new Halford album with no Christmas carols or a new Priest album where the only concept is loud, fast and heavy.

Megadeth - Rust In Peace / Slayer - Seasons in The Abyss, American Carnage Tour
MEGADETH and SLAYER, who last toured the U.S. together 19 years ago on the "Clash of the Titans" extravaganza, have confirmed that they will each perform, start to finish, their 1990 releases — SLAYER's world-wide, million-selling "Seasons In The Abyss" and MEGADETH's platinum "Rust In Peace" — on the upcoming Canadian and American Carnage tours. The six-date Canadian Carnage kicks off July 23 in Quebec City, while the 19-city American Carnage dates begin August 11 in Glens Falls, NY (complete itinerary is below). With SLAYER and MEGADETH co-headlining, TESTAMENT will be special guest on all dates.
Tickets purchased for the Canadian and American Carnage shows when they first went on sale late last year will be honored for the rescheduled dates.
Nineteen hundred and ninety was one stellar year for fans of intense heavy metal, as both "Rust In Peace" and "Seasons in the Abyss" are considered to be among the genre's all-time classics. "War Ensemble", "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due", "Dead Skin Mask", "Hangar 18", "Seasons In The Abyss" — the preeminent list of metal standards that these two albums spawned has rarely been matched by others.
SLAYER — guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo — scored a major breakthrough upon the original release of "Seasons In The Abyss" (SLAYER's fifth studio album overall), as it was the group' first album to hit the U.S. Top 40, and saw SLAYER playing to the biggest crowds of their career on '91's "Clash of the Titans" tour.
MEGADETH's fourth album, "Rust In Peace", saw the band cement their status as one of the most important metal bands with masterpieces like "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due", as well as a top 25 debut on the Billboard chart. The album has been hailed as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time, with IGN recently naming it one of the most influential metal albums ever. MEGADETH is now rejoined by original bassist Dave Ellefson and are firing on all cylinders.
The American Carnage tour, originally scheduled to take place in January and February, had to be postponed due to SLAYER vocalist/bassist Tom Araya's treatment for severe back pain, an occupational hazard for the rocker who is known for aggressively swinging his long mane of hair while performing. A surgical procedure in January corrected the problem once and for all, and he felt better almost immediately.
"Right after the surgery," said Araya, "I could tell that the issue was fixed. There's no more pain, it just feels really good. I'm really excited and I'm anxious to get together with the rest of the guys and start rehearsing again. We cancelled two tours, and I don't feel great about that, but I couldn't deal with the pain anymore, and that's now completely gone. I know the fans are excited to see the band - the tour is on, we're keeping our word, there will be no more cancellations."

Head Tactics was a compilation of the two albums Samson released with Bruce Dickinson on vocals, Head On and Shock Tactics. Thunderstick was a gimp boy that played drums in a leather mask and was kept in a cage, his real name is Barry Graham. Here is an extremely suspect song from the Head On album called Manwatcher.
It looks like this is Thunderstick on the cover and that it is the first album blatently promoting gayness. Other than Manwatcher song titles include Hard Times, Take It Like A Man and Thunderburst. Fucking hilarious. Definately a Top 10 crap album.

Hey guys the latest Metal Meltdown is up on the website. Check it out at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz If you have any requests post them here or send me a PM. Cheers JJ.
Black Sabbath, the Ozzy version, wrote the rule book for heavy metal. From the first album to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath you are talking about 5 of the greatest albums in heavy metal history. I love Dio. Personally believe that his work on Rainbow Rising is as good, or better, than Heaven & Hell, which is a very good album, as well.
Give me Ozzy and the original Sabbath line-up any day. Wheels of Confusion, Children of the Grave, War Pigs, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, NIB . . . are you kidding me!
This album is fucking retarded. After being booted out of Motley Crue back in 92, squeaky voiced gimp, Vince Neil, released this piece of shit. I think he called it Exposed because it exposed him as being crap in every way.
I dunno. if Europe released St Anger, it would suck, granted, but would it suck like it does by metalica.

Just to avoid any confusion as to who the LA Guns are I have copied their various lineups from wiki. This includes their merger with Hollywood Rose to form GNR.
Members of the rock band L.A. Guns. The band's leader and founder Tracii Guns (who the band was named after) left in 2003, and later formed his own incarnation of the band fronted by Paul Black. As a result there are now two bands using the L.A.Guns name at once. Both incarnations have many members from the band's better known eras in them and have a 50% claim to the name. Contents [hide] 1 First Generation L.A.Guns - formation, through to merge with Hollywood Rose (1983-1985) 2 Second Generation L.A. Guns (reformation) (1985-1999) 3 Reunion (1999-2002) 4 Post-Tracii Guns era - the band under Phil Lewis (2002-2006) 5 Two bands under the L.A. Guns name (2006-present) 5.1 Present Lineups 5.1.1 L.A. Guns Lineup 1 5.1.2 L.A. Guns Lineup 2 [edit] First Generation L.A.Guns - formation, through to merge with Hollywood Rose (1983-1985) The core lineup of L.A. Guns, formed in 1983, lasted until 1985. The band briefly merged with Hollywood Rose (led by former Guns vocalist Axl Rose), to form future rock and roll legends Guns N' Roses. Axl Rose had been in L.A. Guns while their vocalist Michael Jagosz was in prison and had to leave when he got out. When he asked Tracii Guns about the idea of a band merge, he brought Izzy Stradlin with him. Guns left shortly after the merge to reform L.A.Guns and Guns N' Roses has survived until the present at the same time. The other members of L.A. Guns were fired from the band at roughly the same time as Tracii Guns left. L.A. Guns (1983-1984) Michael Jagosz - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums L.A. Guns (1984) Axl Rose - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums L.A. Guns (1984-1985) Michael Jagosz - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums Guns N' Roses (1985) Axl Rose - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Izzy Stradlin - rhythm guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums Guns N' Roses (1985-1990) Axl Rose - lead vocals Slash - lead guitar Izzy Stradlin - rhythm guitar Duff McKagan - bass Steven Adler - drums Other Guns N' Roses lineups (1990-present) After all former L.A.Guns members left Guns N' Roses other than Axl Rose, the band formed its well known classic lineup (Izzy Stradlin, the other former Hollywood Rose member remained also). L.A. Guns reformation meanwhile, led to an entirely new band with an entirely new lineup. As can be seen, Rose fired all other ex-L.A. Guns members at the same time as Tracii Guns left the band. The new Guns N' Roses lineup lasted from 1985 to 1990, before facing a few lineup changes. Core members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan remained in the band until Slash left in 1996 and McKagan left in 1998, but Rose has since led the band through commercial and critical success. More information on this can be found on the following main articles: Guns N' Roses Guns N' Roses band members [edit] Second Generation L.A. Guns (reformation) (1985-1999) After leaving Guns N' Roses, Tracii Guns joined Paul Black, Robert Stoddard, Mick Cripps and Nickey Alexande. Initially the project began as a collaboration between Black and Cripps called Faster Pussycat. The name was changed when Guns came in, and the name Faster Pussycat was used by another band shortly afterwards anyway. The name change after the formation of the band is the reason why the lineup contained only Guns from the original band, and sounded so different. Though the band switched to Phil Lewis over Paul Black quickly, Mick Cripps remained with the band until 1994 as did PhiL Lewis. The Guns/Lewis/Cripps triplet formed the solid core of the lineup from 1986 onwards. The band's classic Lewis/Guns/Cripps/Nickels/Riley lineup slowly came together 1986-1988, and operated together 1988-1992 (before a brief switch in drummer) then again 1993-1994. By the end of 1995 Tracii Guns only had Steve Riley left from this period. The one legacy of the band's merge with Guns N' Roses manifested it's time at this period - the band had a rhythm guitar, which they had first had as Guns N' Roses in the form of Izzy Stradlin. The band reverted to a four piece in 1995 however. 1985-1987 Paul Black - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Robert Stoddard - rhythm guitar Mick Cripps - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 1987 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Mattie B - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 1987 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 1987-1992 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1992-1993 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Michael "Bones" Gershima - drums 1994-1995 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1995 Chris Van Dahl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1995-1997 Chris Van Dahl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1997-1998 Ralph Saenz - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1998 Joe Leste - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1998-1999 Jizzy Pearl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1999 Jizzy Pearl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Stefan Adika - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1999 Jizzy Pearl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Chuck Gerric - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums [edit] Reunion (1999-2002) Classic members Phil Lewis, Mick Cripps and Kelly Nickels were tempted back into L.A.Guns in 1999. By 2000, Nickels had left already, as had Cripps (though he briefly returned at the end of the year). Phil Lewis decided to remain with the band however, helping them to recapture some of their former glory. By the end of this period, 2003, three of the four members of the band were still from the classic lineup (though the classic lineup itself had been a five piece). 1999 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2000 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Brent Muscat - rhythm guitar Muddy - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2000-2001 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Muddy - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2001 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Muddy - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2001-2002 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2002 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Keff Rattcliffe- rhythm guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums [edit] Post-Tracii Guns era - the band under Phil Lewis (2002-2006) In 2002 Tracii Guns left L.A.Guns. Steve Riley, who held a 50% legal stake in what was left of the band, was allowed to retain the L.A. Guns name and continue touring under it. This lineup has been led by Phil Lewis ever since. 2002 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Chris Holmes - lead guitar Keff Ratcliffe - Rhythm Guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2002-2003 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Keri Kelli - lead and rhythm guitars Brent Muscat - lead and rhythm guitars Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2003 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Keri Kelli - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2003-2004 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Charlie Poulson - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2004-2007 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Stacey Blades - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums [edit] Two bands under the L.A. Guns name (2006-present) In 2006 Tracii Guns decided to form a solo band - The Tracii Guns Band. He soon began billing it as L.A. Guns, adding Nickey "Beat" Alexander and Paul Black from the band's earliest incarnations to the lineup. This group has released albums under the name "Paul Black's L.A. Guns". At the same time, Phil Lewis' L.A. Guns continued. L.A. Guns (Phil Lewis fronted band) Paul Black's L.A. Guns (formerly The Tracii Guns Band) 2004-2007 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Stacey Blades - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2006 Paul Black - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Jeremy Guns - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 2007-2009 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Stacey Blades - lead guitar Scott Griffin - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2007-2008 Paul Black - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Jeremy Guns - bass guitar Chad Stewart - drums Tracii Guns L.A. Guns 2008-2009 Marty Casey - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Alec Bauer - Rhythm Guitar Jeremy Guns - bass guitar Chad Stewart - drums [edit] Present Lineups Both incarnations of the band go under the simple name of "L.A. Guns". No legal problems have resulted in the shared name, despite both claiming to be the 'true' L.A. Guns. Both have a fair claim: Tracii Guns was the founding member/leader and included former member Paul Black in his lineup of the band. Black was in the band in 1985-1986, but never recorded with them. However the other incarnation of the band is a continuation of the original, which survived when Guns left. It has more members of the band from their best known era in the form of Lewis and Riley. Both versions of L.A. Guns are four pieces. The band has switched between being a four and five piece frequently. The four piece system was used 1983-1985, 1995-1999 prior to the present incarnations of the band. [edit] L.A. Guns Lineup 1 Phil Lewis - lead vocals (1987-1995, 1999-present) Stacey Blades - lead guitar (2004-present) Kenny Kweens - bass guitar (2009-present) Steve Riley - drums (1987-1992, 1994-present) [edit] L.A. Guns Lineup 2 Jizzy Pearl- lead vocals (1998-1999; 2009-present) Tracii Guns - lead guitar (1983-2002, 2006-present) Jeremy Guns - bass guitar (2006-present) Chad Stewart - drums (2007-present) .
There. That makes it easy to understand.

Has anyone here ever read the Wiki on them? LOL! Wasn't sure to post it here or directly in the "jokes" thread. There are TWO bands currently touring with the name?!? One was bad enough. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Guns

As a result there are now two bands using the L.A.Guns name at once. Both incarnations have many members from the band's better known eras in them and have a 50% claim to the name.

Guns (reformation) (1985-1999) 3 Reunion (1999-2002) 4 Post-Tracii Guns era - the band under Phil Lewis (2002-2006) 5 Two bands under the L.A. Guns name (2006-present) 5.1 Present Lineups 5.1.1 L.A. Guns Lineup 1 5.1.2 L.A. Guns Lineup 2 [edit] First Generation L.A.Guns - formation, through to merge with Hollywood Rose (1983-1985) The core lineup of L.A. Guns, formed in 1983, lasted until 1985. The band briefly merged with Hollywood Rose (led by former Guns vocalist Axl Rose), to form future rock and roll legends Guns N' Roses. Axl Rose had been in L.A. Guns while their vocalist Michael Jagosz was in prison and had to leave when he got out. When he asked Tracii Guns about the idea of a band merge, he brought Izzy Stradlin with him. Guns left shortly after the merge to reform L.A.Guns and Guns N' Roses has survived until the present at the same time. The other members of L.A. Guns were fired from the band at roughly the same time as Tracii Guns left. L.A. Guns (1983-1984) Michael Jagosz - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums L.A. Guns (1984) Axl Rose - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums L.A. Guns (1984-1985) Michael Jagosz - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums Guns N' Roses (1985) Axl Rose - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Izzy Stradlin - rhythm guitar Ole Beich - bass guitar Rob Gardner - drums Guns N' Roses (1985-1990) Axl Rose - lead vocals Slash - lead guitar Izzy Stradlin - rhythm guitar Duff McKagan - bass Steven Adler - drums Other Guns N' Roses lineups (1990-present) After all former L.A.Guns members left Guns N' Roses other than Axl Rose, the band formed its well known classic lineup (Izzy Stradlin, the other former Hollywood Rose member remained also). L.A. Guns reformation meanwhile, led to an entirely new band with an entirely new lineup. As can be seen, Rose fired all other ex-L.A. Guns members at the same time as Tracii Guns left the band. The new Guns N' Roses lineup lasted from 1985 to 1990, before facing a few lineup changes. Core members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan remained in the band until Slash left in 1996 and McKagan left in 1998, but Rose has since led the band through commercial and critical success. More information on this can be found on the following main articles: Guns N' Roses Guns N' Roses band members [edit] Second Generation L.A. Guns (reformation) (1985-1999) After leaving Guns N' Roses, Tracii Guns joined Paul Black, Robert Stoddard, Mick Cripps and Nickey Alexande. Initially the project began as a collaboration between Black and Cripps called Faster Pussycat. The name was changed when Guns came in, and the name Faster Pussycat was used by another band shortly afterwards anyway. The name change after the formation of the band is the reason why the lineup contained only Guns from the original band, and sounded so different. Though the band switched to Phil Lewis over Paul Black quickly, Mick Cripps remained with the band until 1994 as did PhiL Lewis. The Guns/Lewis/Cripps triplet formed the solid core of the lineup from 1986 onwards. The band's classic Lewis/Guns/Cripps/Nickels/Riley lineup slowly came together 1986-1988, and operated together 1988-1992 (before a brief switch in drummer) then again 1993-1994. By the end of 1995 Tracii Guns only had Steve Riley left from this period. The one legacy of the band's merge with Guns N' Roses manifested it's time at this period - the band had a rhythm guitar, which they had first had as Guns N' Roses in the form of Izzy Stradlin. The band reverted to a four piece in 1995 however. 1985-1987 Paul Black - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Robert Stoddard - rhythm guitar Mick Cripps - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 1987 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Mattie B - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 1987 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 1987-1992 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1992-1993 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Michael "Bones" Gershima - drums 1994-1995 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1995 Chris Van Dahl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1995-1997 Chris Van Dahl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1997-1998 Ralph Saenz - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1998 Joe Leste - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1998-1999 Jizzy Pearl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Johnny Crypt - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1999 Jizzy Pearl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Stefan Adika - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 1999 Jizzy Pearl - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Chuck Gerric - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums [edit] Reunion (1999-2002) Classic members Phil Lewis, Mick Cripps and Kelly Nickels were tempted back into L.A.Guns in 1999. By 2000, Nickels had left already, as had Cripps (though he briefly returned at the end of the year). Phil Lewis decided to remain with the band however, helping them to recapture some of their former glory. By the end of this period, 2003, three of the four members of the band were still from the classic lineup (though the classic lineup itself had been a five piece). 1999 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Kelly Nickels - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2000 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Brent Muscat - rhythm guitar Muddy - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2000-2001 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Mick Cripps - rhythm guitar Muddy - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2001 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Muddy - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2001-2002 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2002 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Keff Rattcliffe- rhythm guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums [edit] Post-Tracii Guns era - the band under Phil Lewis (2002-2006) In 2002 Tracii Guns left L.A.Guns. Steve Riley, who held a 50% legal stake in what was left of the band, was allowed to retain the L.A. Guns name and continue touring under it. This lineup has been led by Phil Lewis ever since. 2002 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Chris Holmes - lead guitar Keff Ratcliffe - Rhythm Guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2002-2003 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Keri Kelli - lead and rhythm guitars Brent Muscat - lead and rhythm guitars Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2003 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Keri Kelli - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2003-2004 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Charlie Poulson - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2004-2007 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Stacey Blades - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums [edit] Two bands under the L.A. Guns name (2006-present) In 2006 Tracii Guns decided to form a solo band - The Tracii Guns Band. He soon began billing it as L.A. Guns, adding Nickey "Beat" Alexander and Paul Black from the band's earliest incarnations to the lineup. This group has released albums under the name "Paul Black's L.A. Guns". At the same time, Phil Lewis' L.A. Guns continued. L.A. Guns (Phil Lewis fronted band) Paul Black's L.A. Guns (formerly The Tracii Guns Band) 2004-2007 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Stacey Blades - lead guitar Adam Hamilton - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2006 Paul Black - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Jeremy Guns - bass guitar Nickey "Beat" Alexander - drums 2007-2009 Phil Lewis - lead vocals Stacey Blades - lead guitar Scott Griffin - bass guitar Steve Riley - drums 2007-2008 Paul Black - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Jeremy Guns - bass guitar Chad Stewart - drums Tracii Guns L.A. Guns 2008-2009 Marty Casey - lead vocals Tracii Guns - lead guitar Alec Bauer - Rhythm Guitar Jeremy Guns - bass guitar Chad Stewart - drums [edit] Present Lineups Both incarnations of the band go under the simple name of "L.A. Guns". No legal problems have resulted in the shared name, despite both claiming to be the 'true' L.A. Guns. Both have a fair claim: Tracii Guns was the founding member/leader and included former member Paul Black in his lineup of the band. Black was in the band in 1985-1986, but never recorded with them. However the other incarnation of the band is a continuation of the original, which survived when Guns left. It has more members of the band from their best known era in the form of Lewis and Riley. Both versions of L.A. Guns are four pieces. The band has switched between being a four and five piece frequently. The four piece system was used 1983-1985, 1995-1999 prior to the present incarnations of the band. [edit] L.A. Guns Lineup 1 Phil Lewis - lead vocals (1987-1995, 1999-present) Stacey Blades - lead guitar (2004-present) Kenny Kweens - bass guitar (2009-present) Steve Riley - drums (1987-1992, 1994-present) [edit] L.A. Guns Lineup 2 Jizzy Pearl- lead vocals (1998-1999; 2009-present) Tracii Guns - lead guitar (1983-2002, 2006-present) Jeremy Guns - bass guitar (2006-present) Chad Stewart - drums (2007-present) .
You know, when thinking about this topic, L.A. Guns came to mind. Curiously enough, I get an email from an autograph seller today that listed them amongst other bands. I notice that GUNS isn't one who signed the poster! Guess I have lost track of this band (on purpose).
Has anyone here ever read the Wiki on them? LOL! Wasn't sure to post it here or directly in the "jokes" thread. There are TWO bands currently touring with the name?!? One was bad enough. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Guns

They look like a bunch of inbred retards. Bet ya the parents are related. Love to toss a grenade into the middle of that picture. Save the British taxpayer a fortune.
Here's something that's pissing me off. I've lost my DOTF cd. Fuck knows where it is.
The Davey family's £815-a-week state handouts pay for a four-bedroom home, top-of-the-range mod cons and two vehicles including a Mercedes people carrier.
Father-of-seven Peter gave up work because he could make more living on benefits.
Yet he and his wife Claire are still not happy with their lot.
With an eighth child on the way, they are demanding a bigger house, courtesy of the taxpayer.
More on the way: The Davey family at home
'It's really hard,' said Mrs Davey, 29, who is seven months pregnant. 'We can't afford holidays and I don't want my kids living on a council estate and struggling like I have.
'The price of living is going up but benefits are going down. My carer's allowance is only going up by 80p this year and petrol is so expensive now, I'm worried how we'll cope.
'We're still waiting for somewhere bigger.'
Mrs Davey has never had a full-time job while her 35-year-old husband gave up his post in administration nine years ago after realising they would be better off living off the state.
At their semi on the Isle of Anglesey, the family have a 42in flatscreen television in the living room with Sky TV at £50 a month, a Wii games console, three Nintendo DS machines and a computer - not to mention four mobile phones.
With their income of more than £42,000 a year, they run an 11-seater minibus and the seven-seat automatic Mercedes.
But according to the Daveys they have nothing to be thankful for.
'It doesn't bother me that taxpayers are paying for me to have a large family,' added Mrs Davey.
'We couldn't afford to care for our children without benefits, but as long as they have everything they need, I don't think I'm selfish.
'Most of the parents at our kids' school are on benefits.'
She added: 'I don't feel bad about being subsidised by people who are working. I'm just working with the system that's there.
'If the government wants to give me money, I'm happy to take it. We get what we're entitled to. I don't put in anything because I don't pay taxes, but if I could work I would.'
The couple met in a pub 13 years ago. A year later, at the age of 17, Mrs Davey gave birth to Jessica, now 12.
She was followed by Jade, ten, Jamie-Anne, eight, Harriet, six, Adele, four, the couple's only son Tie, three, and Mercedes, two.
'It cost too much to carry on working as we were actually better off unemployed,' said Mr Davey.
In addition to income support, housing benefit, child tax credits and a council tax discount, the couple receive carer's allowance and disability living allowance for Tie, who suffers from a severe skin disorder.
Despite filing for bankruptcy 18 months ago after racking up £20,000 of debt on mail order catalogues they still insist on splashing out on four presents per child at birthdays and last Christmas spent £2,000 on gifts alone.
'Santa is always generous in our house,' said Mrs Davey, who once applied to join the police but was turned down.
She insists her husband would do any job 'as long as we could still afford the lifestyle we have now'.
Mrs Davey, who spends £160 a week at Tesco, says she does not intend to stop at eight children. Her target is 14.
And she adds: 'I've always wanted a big family - no one can tell me how many kids I can have whether I'm working or not.'
This thread is for fun. If you have any albums that you think are abysmal. Post them here so we can all have a laugh at them. I'll start with Black Rain by Ozzy. Check out this song Lay Your World On Me. It sounds like it was recorded in a public toilet. Shockingly bad.
True, but we are talking about Ozzy Osbourne here. The man hasn't released anything decent since 1991. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Head banger from Friday, April 16, 2010 2:31:59 PM)

I know, it's pretty stupid. However the fact that they released it as a single means it's probably the best song on the album. If that's the case then this album is going to be an incredible achievement. I never would have believed that Ozzy could make an album worse than Black Rain, but if this song is anything to go by he may just have surpassed himself. He should have kept the title Soul Sucka, that would have been the icing on the shit flavoured cake.

Finally my copy of Sacred Reichs The American Way has arrived all the way from North Carolina. This album is awesome. Sacred Reich are one of the most under rated bands in metal. Saw them live in 1994 in Auckland when they toured here with Sepultura. Sacred were touring their Independent album and Sepultura their Chaos AD album. It was one of the best shows I've been to. Here's the vid for The American Way, cool song.

Well as I said earlier, I don't recall ever directing any insensitive comment, insult or remark at you. Maybe I have agreed with people whose opinions you don't agree with but that's everybodys right and you're correct, there's no reason to apologise for that.

Oh, I thought you were disagreeing that you can sometimes be a pompous ass. Hence we would agree to disagree about that.
As for the rest it doesn't take a genious to know that I rarely talk to you and when I do I attempt to be nice, and you rarely talk to me. So, I think it's pretty clear we are not what one would call friends. As for my statement being harsh, yes it was. I've seen some rather insensitive remarks made by you for which you have not exactly any remorse for said comments. Most were just agreeing with things that are tasteless remarks. I see no reason for appologies and I'm sure you don't as well.

Not sure what the situations like in the States. But I do think more peoples views would be in line with Craigs if you had been there too. Seeing that kind of thing happen is going to change your perspective for sure. It's not preaching hate, it's an opinion, that's all.
The thing is the LA riots is nothing compared to what's going on in South Africa. The blacks are out of control, it's like sharks at a feeding frenzy. Johannesburg, I think, is the most violent city in the world. When Joe says she fears for her family etc. She literally fears they could be killed at any time. That stuff happens there all the time.

Don't take this the wrong way but South Africa's going the same way as Rhodesia. The number of South Africans immigrating to NZ is unbelievable. In my job I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of them and they just feel as if there's nothing for them there anymore. I've got a couple of really good friends who live in Johannesburg and I know they're about two seconds away from leaving also.

Just cracks me up listening to crappy albums sometimes. A couple of months ago I listened to St Anger right through, that was hard but I think Saints Of Los Angeles may even be worse than St Anger. Thing about Motley Crue is that their first couple of albums, Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil, are actually really good and the self titled album they released in 94 with John Corabi on vocals is awesome. They should never have got high pitched, squeaky voiced douchebag, VInce Neil, back in the band.
Anyway now i'm listening to Mary Jane - Megadeth. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Saturday, April 03, 2010 2:33:41 PM)

Sorry, I was wrong there. It was actually a co-headlining tour. The bands would alternate who closed the show so AC/DC one night, Cheap Trick the next. From what I've read it was an awesome show. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Friday, March 26, 2010 5:36:45 PM)

One thing I've noticed about their later material, from Brave New World onwards, is this tendency to try and be to clever. When you listen to their old stuff, from Iron Maiden through to Fear Of The Dark, the songs are constructed in two ways. They either start at a certain tempo and pretty much stick with it or they build and build and build and then reach a peak and finish. This works well as you'd have your three to five minute songs that just go along and then you'd have your longer "epic" kind of songs which are usually six or seven minutes. The obvious exception is Ancient Mariner at 13 minutes. Nowadays it seems to me that Maiden do to many songs maybe start out slow, build up to a peak, then change tempo again chugging along then try to build up again before winding down. It's things like that that get boring. It worked for Mariner but that was a one off. They end up with a good idea for a four minute song turning into a boring eight minute song. Whether it's Harris or not I don't know but it pisses me off. I hate putting a new cd in and seeing that it's 76 minutes long or something.
The thing about Maiden is that they set the benchmark so high. Those first seven albums, up to an including Seventh Son are some of the greatest albums in the whole metal genre. Every single one of those albums is considered a classic. I think Maiden are fully aware that everything just clicked right back then and it's something they are never going to be able to recapture. They are also fully aware that the reason people come along to their shows is to see songs from those albums performed live. This is why they continue to play them and also the reason behind the Somewhere Back In Time Tour, which was a true world tour. I think Maiden truly enjoy touring and playing to their fans and thats why they continue to do so, it's not as if they need the money or anything. The reason they continue to release new albums is because it gives them a legitimate reason to get out there and play without falling into the whole nostalgia cash in type of thing a lot of bands are doing these days.

I'm not linking you to my opinion about Iron Maiden,but to me Iron Maiden is they worst band at consistant song writting/albums of quality material. Compared to Motorhead it would be a mear joke to say that Maiden is just as consistant in writting quality songs and putting out quality albums of kick ass material and again this is not to toy with Brian and his likings for Iron Maiden,this is how I thougtht long before he unfortuantely joined our forum,Iron Maiden is just not good at writting quality songs on a consistant basis so again I'll have to say......

Bands blame things like long tours etc being the reason for these extended periods in between albums but thats bullshit, Motorhead are always touring, they've even found the time to make it down here to NZ twice in the last 5 years. Motorhead is an example to all bands as far as having a work ethic goes. So many bands think 20 shows in the US and Canada and 15 in Europe constitutes a world tour and then they take a year off before starting work on the next album, not Motorhead. These guys are legends. Can't wait for the new album.

But I couldn't ever make a list not even for fun because any songs from Iron Maiden that were made from 1990 -2006 would make me puke to hear them played live,I just can't come up with anything for real man,they are "that bad" and I can only listen to some of these songs on my stereo in small doses maybe once every 2 years if that and only a track or 2,not the whole album ect..
My girlfriend has Brave New World and A Matter Of life And Death but they never get played...we don't own any other album from 1990-2006 except those 2 and they hardly even get played at home like I said maybe once every 2 years or more and when we play them we only play one song or so...thats why I just can't list a setlist YUK! lol!

And another thing thats funny is the title of this thread says "who is HARDER"? LOL Iron Maiden is so mellow these days and soooooo progressive that there is NO WAY they can be "harder" than the panzer division Motorhead assult at thier volume.
Listen to Runaround Man uptop....does Iron maiden have any songs that can top this in heaviness the last 20 years? Fuck no they don't. Motorhead has balls and like Brian_Evans, Iron Maiden does not...end of story.

I actually made up the setlist because it was such a hard thing to do, not to defend the band. I was hoping JD would take up the task as well to see what he came up with as a possible 20 best songs from the albums he doesn't rate. It's a legitimate attempt to actually discuss Maiden in this thread instead of all the bullshit that has been going on in it.

Second,yes I do like A Matter Of Life And Death dumb shit, and I said its thier best work since the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album and it "IS" a great albumfor "Iron Maiden" because Iron Maiden writes shit albums one right after the other,so for Iron maiden it IS a "great album". If it were Saxon that wrote it is would "suck". If Judas Priest wrote it is would "suck" because those bands could do 100% better than Iron Maiden and those bands kick Iron Maiden's ass up between thier shoulders just like I do to you on a regular basis Brian HA!
But for Iron Maiden yes it is a great album because of how much they fuckin suck. Those "8" songs I do like,and yes some of it does remind me of Piece Of Mind and Powerslave in spots but they are nowhere near the "greatness" of albums such as "Iron Maiden,Killers,The Number Of The Beast,Piece Of Mind and Powerslave and even Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" nowhere even close Brian.
I can easily side A Matter Of Life And Death in with shit albums from 1990 - to 2003's shit album Dance Of Death,I have always given AMOLAD a break because of how shitty Iron Maiden's song writting skills are so what your saying again is a mear joke,you failed yet again shit for brains,face it you can't top me and never will because your not smart enough haha!
Just because I said it was "great" I never said "how great" and for a shit band like Iron Maiden it "is great" I'll take it and it doesn't mean-that I side it in with those elite albums as I've said.

This is all opinions again mine isn't the final say but for me personally being a fan of Iron Maiden since 1982 I've been let down with every album starting from 1986's Somewhere In Time" all the way till now,sure I like bits and pieces here and there but I can never get a kick ass product from Iron maiden and its a shame and a let down for me.This band is dead and I have to face it,they will never put out a studio album that I like all the way through again.

Thats cool jimmy,we can't all agree on everything however,I do see why you like Somewhere In Time and not really thrilled about the last 2f the band's career as neither am I. The track that kills me that I freaking HATE is "Heaven Can Wait"...oohhh that song,the chorus spanks of bad ideas and Bruce's voice is extremely irritating when he sings it. AARRGGHH. That song and the chorus to the opening track Caught Somewhere In Time is almost equally irritatiing to me just as the AMOLAD is irritating to almost everyone else.
So how about a Maiden tour with just them playing songs from 1990 -2006? That to me would be absolutely lame.

I agree that AMOLAD is boring,even though I do like most of it it isn't anywhere near,not even near thier first 5 studio albums(1980 - 1984).
Whats also interesting is your first 7 albums listed are all from the 1980's and my first 6 albums are also from the 1980's and the rest is all rated as "aeh..ok" to "shit" from both our opionions. I can't even fathom how many people/fans have said the same thing year after year that the 80's material is the band's best and everything else is "ah...ok I guess"...everybody nowadays just wants to see the band "live" because they can't "get anything special" out of thier albums from 1990 till now,they just can't get anything they want from these less than average albums.
I'd like to see how many people would go see Iron Maiden if they were to only play songs from the shitty albums from 1990 No Prayer For The Dying to now with A Matter Of life And Death"...1990 - 2006 no "Number Of The Beast" song no nothing just those albums from 1990 to 2006,I'm sure they would still pack em' in because of how many fan boys out there but I'd still bet there wouldn't be as many people excited about it.

And I'm not the Maiden fanboy,you should dedicate that Twilight Zone song to Brian...after all,any other song by any other band that did not have a guitar solo in it is considered "not good" but if its an Iron Maiden song than it "is good" and doesn't really need one. HA!

I didn't shy away from anything. You're just grasping at straws here and you probably don't even know how to play chess. The bass solo thing I said was just a joke. Although Steve Harris does more in that track than most bass players do in ten. Twlight Zone is a solid metal track. And I never said all metal tracks had to have a solo in it to be good. Read the post five more times and maybe just maybe(fingers crossed) you will finally catch on. You can't stump me man, give it up and go back to your littie Saxon cave of a thread.

Hey Diamond, so how is "A Matter Of Life And Death" that you described as a "great album" and 8 out of ten songs reminds you of "Piece of Mind" and "Powerslave" of the elite 80's era Maiden a let down? Now look who's contradicting themselves?
How about a Maiden setlist from you that only contains songs from 1990 to now? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Saturday, March 27, 2010 1:19:43 AM)

First off...(rolling my eyes back and refering to Brian's nitpicky post) hey jimmy james.........and I'm the one being fucking anal"?? LMMFAO at jimmy!!! PLease.
Second,yes I do like A Matter Of Life And Death dumb shit, and I said its thier best work since the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album and it "IS" a great albumfor "Iron Maiden" because Iron Maiden writes shit albums one right after the other,so for Iron maiden it IS a "great album". If it were Saxon that wrote it is would "suck". If Judas Priest wrote it is would "suck" because those bands could do 100% better than Iron Maiden and those bands kick Iron Maiden's ass up between thier shoulders just like I do to you on a regular basis Brian HA!
But for Iron Maiden yes it is a great album because of how much they fuckin suck. Those "8" songs I do like,and yes some of it does remind me of Piece Of Mind and Powerslave in spots but they are nowhere near the "greatness" of albums such as "Iron Maiden,Killers,The Number Of The Beast,Piece Of Mind and Powerslave and even Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" nowhere even close Brian.
I can easily side A Matter Of Life And Death in with shit albums from 1990 - to 2003's shit album Dance Of Death,I have always given AMOLAD a break because of how shitty Iron Maiden's song writting skills are so what your saying again is a mear joke,you failed yet again shit for brains,face it you can't top me and never will because your not smart enough haha!
Just because I said it was "great" I never said "how great" and for a shit band like Iron Maiden it "is great" I'll take it and it doesn't mean-that I side it in with those elite albums as I've said. Wich is a far cry from a contradiction like you are consistantly dickhead lol! Down The Irons lofao!!!!!

Its just the song writting that kills it for me,I'll never hear another new Iron Maiden album that I like and can compare to elite albums such as the band's first 5 studio albums. And as for seeing this shit band live no freakin way,if I hate the new album I'll not see em' live and that goes for any band's new album.
This is all opinions again mine isn't the final say but for me personally being a fan of Iron Maiden since 1982 I've been let down with every album starting from 1986's Somewhere In Time" all the way till now,sure I like bits and pieces here and there but I can never get a kick ass product from Iron maiden and its a shame and a let down for me.This band is dead and I have to face it,they will never put out a studio album that I like all the way through again. Down the Irons.

Ha ha,thats not correct jimmy as you and Brian are not understanding what these statements actually mean in a stuctured sentence.I'm not being "anal" about anything jimmy,Brian has contradicted himself and I just called him out on it,no need for you to worry about it,but we will "agree to disagree" thats all.
And I'm not the Maiden fanboy,you should dedicate that Twilight Zone song to Brian...after all,any other song by any other band that did not have a guitar solo in it is considered "not good" but if its an Iron Maiden song than it "is good" and doesn't really need one. HA!

Its not that hard to understand,I'm disappointed in you jimmy hahahaha!!!!
JD, he didn't say every great song "has" to have a great solo. What you think he was saying and what he said are two different things. You are wrong on this one.

I didn't shy away from anything. You're just grasping at straws here and you probably don't even know how to play chess. The bass solo thing I said was just a joke. Although Steve Harris does more in that track than most bass players do in ten. Twlight Zone is a solid metal track. And I never said all metal tracks had to have a solo in it to be good. Read the post five more times and maybe just maybe(fingers crossed) you will finally catch on. You can't stump me man, give it up and go back to your littie Saxon cave of a thread.

The next metal meltdown show is up and available to listen to now at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz
This week featured bands include Baroness, Mastodon, Rainbow, Halford and the big four. Enjoy the show guys and if there's anything you want to hear either PM me or post it on this thread. JJ.
Same line up as now except Brian has replaced Bon. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Thursday, March 25, 2010 7:31:49 PM)

The first time I saw Ac/Dc was 1978. I thought they opened up for Cheap Trick
with the Dictators opening up for them. I lost my first 18 ticket stubs and my
memory is a little fuzzy. I was trying to research the order of the bands and saw
that Cheap Trick was listed as openers for them.
Did any one here see that tour and or remember the order of the line-up?
I think it was the Powerage tour?
Those are cool, are they normally hanging up? Never really been an LP collector myself, got cassettes when I was a kid and went to cds from there. My older cousins have truckloads of LPs from the 70s and 80s, should raid their collections and see what's in there. Bound to be a few cool ones.

Sad you missed that gen. I value my LPs almost as much as my guitars. I hosted a college metal radio show for years and framed more than one. As I have said before, I can still say where the skips were in DOTF.
Picture LPs. Nothing better.
jimmyjames wrote:
Still got the tape in a box somewhere but my version is on cd. LPs are definately the best for artwork and aesthetics (is that how you spell it ) for sure. Got a record player but it's not set up. Have a few records, Got Priests Rocka Rolla on LP, the one with the bottle top and the one with the futruristic warrior or what ever he is, also Sad Wings on LP and AC/DC Highway and Back In Black, plus a few others, haven't listened to them for years and years.

Ah...I hope you have the LP. That is a great loss, I am afraid. While a cassette, CD or even digital might be better in sound, nothing beats holding a work of art in your hands as in an LP. Still own them, still collect them, still have a workable turntable.

Also, I agree with your assessment of "Somewhere." I love some of those songs and, as you said, the artwork is without compare. 'Blade Runner.' While I am a long distance runner, I can't stand the song, however. Sea of Madness, eh.... not my fav. Wasted years and Caught Somewhere in Time are my big favs. Still, I could stare at that artwork forever.

Somewhere In Time is the most under-rated Maiden album. I don't think it has a weak track. Some people might say De Ja Vu, Sea Of Madness or The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner are not that great but I reckon they are cool songs.

At least this is "an opinion" and your not saying "oh gaga everything they do is equally excellent". I agree that AMOLAD is boring,even though I do like most of it it isn't anywhere near,not even near thier first 5 studio albums(1980 - 1984).
Whats also interesting is your first 7 albums listed are all from the 1980's and my first 6 albums are also from the 1980's and the rest is all rated as "aeh..ok" to "shit" from both our opionions. I can't even fathom how many people/fans have said the same thing year after year that the 80's material is the band's best and everything else is "ah...ok I guess"...everybody nowadays just wants to see the band "live" because they can't "get anything special" out of thier albums from 1990 till now,they just can't get anything they want from these less than average albums.
I'd like to see how many people would go see Iron Maiden if they were to only play songs from the shitty albums from 1990 No Prayer For The Dying to now with A Matter Of life And Death"...1990 - 2006 no "Number Of The Beast" song no nothing just those albums from 1990 to 2006,I'm sure they would still pack em' in because of how many fan boys out there but I'd still bet there wouldn't be as many people excited about it.

Is the Rocka Rolla LP hard to find here JJ? I found a copy at a record shop in Petone which made me go LOL! Didn't but it cos I could only afford a couple so I bought SFV and UITE instead.
My father in law has all the Maiden LPs I think, next time we visit I should see if I can get my hands on them lol, just for the artwork alone. I agree about the Somwhere in Time artwork, it kicks ass!

LOL! Ha ha,thats not correct jimmy as you and Brian are not understanding what these statements actually mean in a stuctured sentence.I'm not being "anal" about anything jimmy,Brian has contradicted himself and I just called him out on it,no need for you to worry about it,but we will "agree to disagree" thats all.
And I'm not the Maiden fanboy,you should dedicate that Twilight Zone song to Brian...after all,any other song by any other band that did not have a guitar solo in it is considered "not good" but if its an Iron Maiden song than it "is good" and doesn't really need one. HA!

Its not that hard to understand,I'm disappointed in you jimmy hahahaha!!!!

I didn't shy away from anything. You're just grasping at straws here and you probably don't even know how to play chess. The bass solo thing I said was just a joke. Although Steve Harris does more in that track than most bass players do in ten. Twlight Zone is a solid metal track. And I never said all metal tracks had to have a solo in it to be good.

AC/DC - Let There Be Rock DVD Release Date Announced
"Let There Be Rock", the AC/DC concert documentary that was filmed December 1979 at the Pavillion De Paris, will receive its long-awaited DVD release in January 2011. Eddie Trunk, the co-host of the VH1 Classic television program "That Metal Show", was interviewed about the band's impact for one of the DVD's bonus features. He writes on his blog, "[The company which is releasing the DVD is] doing some cleanups to the audio and video and making it as high-def as the source will allow." He adds, "I can tell you I have an advance and it looks and sounds great, but they are making it even better!"
According to the All Music Guide, "Let There Be Rock" was released in France a year after it was filmed, though American release was delayed until well after the band had established themselves in the States with new vocalist Brian Johnson and the multi-platinum success of the "Back In Black" album.
In his review of the original "Let There Be Rock" film, Fred Beldin of the All Music Guide writes, "Director Eric Dionysis captures the excitement of the live show with an energetic style and effective close-up shots, though the staged interviews and sub-'The Song Remains The Same' fantasy sequences show the band to be bemused but not convinced by these attempts to add some arty depth to the proceedings. The highlight of the extracurricular segments is Bon Scott, radiating warmth and humility in these last interviews before his untimely death at age 33 from alcohol poisoning."
I also applaud you for having a friggin' OPINION! Not a pure fanboy who stands by everything. Hell, I have never once said that I am not a Maiden fan but I can't stand their recent material. Not as bad as Metallica but close. IMO, Priest just leaves them in the dust.
Also, I agree with your assessment of "Somewhere." I love some of those songs and, as you said, the artwork is without compare. 'Blade Runner.' While I am a long distance runner, I can't stand the song, however. Sea of Madness, eh.... not my fav. Wasted years and Caught Somewhere in Time are my big favs. Still, I could stare at that artwork forever.

Somewhere In Time is the most under-rated Maiden album. I don't think it has a weak track. Some people might say De Ja Vu, Sea Of Madness or The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner are not that great but I reckon they are cool songs.

At least this is "an opinion" and your not saying "oh gaga everything they do is equally excellent". I agree that AMOLAD is boring,even though I do like most of it it isn't anywhere near,not even near thier first 5 studio albums(1980 - 1984).
Whats also interesting is your first 7 albums listed are all from the 1980's and my first 6 albums are also from the 1980's and the rest is all rated as "aeh..ok" to "shit" from both our opionions. I can't even fathom how many people/fans have said the same thing year after year that the 80's material is the band's best and everything else is "ah...ok I guess"...everybody nowadays just wants to see the band "live" because they can't "get anything special" out of thier albums from 1990 till now,they just can't get anything they want from these less than average albums.
I'd like to see how many people would go see Iron Maiden if they were to only play songs from the shitty albums from 1990 No Prayer For The Dying to now with A Matter Of life And Death"...1990 - 2006 no "Number Of The Beast" song no nothing just those albums from 1990 to 2006,I'm sure they would still pack em' in because of how many fan boys out there but I'd still bet there wouldn't be as many people excited about it.

And I'm not the Maiden fanboy,you should dedicate that Twilight Zone song to Brian...after all,any other song by any other band that did not have a guitar solo in it is considered "not good" but if its an Iron Maiden song than it "is good" and doesn't really need one. HA!

Iced Earth: Box Of the Wicked
ICED EARTH's "Box Of The Wicked" will be released in Europe on April 26 (three days earlier in Germany) and May 18 in the U.S. via SPV/Steamhammer Records. The set is limited to 10,000 copies worldwide.
While ICED EARTH's 1998 album "Something Wicked This Way Comes" provided a general overview of the story guitarist/songwriter Jon Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade, the saga was fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible of Man". The albums provided answers to mysteries the previous releases created, and the timeliness of the story in today's world were guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Schaffer's ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly "why" characters' decisions are made and "how" events come to pass will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the "Something Wicked" storyline are revealed.
The whole saga is now included in this high-quality hardcover boxset (height 13 cm, depth 4.5 cm, width 14.5 cm) featuring the original digipak CDs "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible Of Man" as well as the original digipaks EPs "Overture Of The Wicked" and "I Walk Among You". In addition, the boxset includes a bonus cardboard CD with one song from "Framing Armageddon" now sung by Matt Barlow and three previously unreleased live tracks from the Belgian Graspop Metal Meeting festival in 2008, also featuring Barlow on vocals. The boxset will come with a full-color A1 poster and a 12-page booklet with previously unseen photos and liner notes.

So what you're saying is that you are being anal about the way the sentence is structured and are deliberately misunderstanding what was meant in an attempt to continue this Brian bashing. If you look at Brians response to my second post on the subject he said "exactly". To me there is a difference between should have and must have, to you, maybe not. I did not get the impression from Brians post that he was adamant that an excellent solo was compulsory for a song to be a good metal song. If you did then you must have misunderstood the post because Brian already said that my take on it was what he meant. There's nothing to argue about.

Yeah but he said "should" and I agree in a sense. He didn't say every great metal track "does" have an excellent solo. He's not saying there aren't any great songs without solos, he just thinks they should have them. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Tuesday, March 23, 2010 8:18:27 PM)

Thier not favorites of mine either jimmy but its the point that I'm addressing here. I however do think Heading Out To The Highway "IS" a great track with harmony bends,not "good guitar solos" and I do think "Twilight Zone" by Iron Maiden is a great track with harmony bends not guitar solos.
So by Brian saying "every good metal track should have an excellent guitar solo in it".....well Twilight Zone doesn't have an "excellent" guitar solo in it as it hardly has a solo in it at all,so what he is saying is that the Twilight Zone track is not a "good" track and at the same time he claims every Iron Maiden track to be top notch equal to "any" Iron Maiden song ever written....he is caught in a squeeze play between 3rd and home....in other words hes now got to be extremely careful the way he answers this post because he will be caught in a "contradiction".

I think a true metal song should have some kind of shredding guitar solo in it somewhere but like you say, lots of bands do fine without them, especially in some of the sub-genres of metal. Bands who have made their name with deadly soloing and shredding should always continue in that vein, then we would never have albums like St Anger thrust upon us.

Brian Evans wrote: "What every good metal track should have is an excellent guitar solo".
I "disagree" fully. What every good "heavy metal" track should have is an excellent guitar solo. As you don't know the black metal thrash metal or death metal genre/scene,you don't understand these styles of metal so you need to type "heavy" before typing "metal" when you talk about having these needed guitar solos. Guitar solos do not fit in every song of every style of "metal" at all no matter what rubbish you can come up with here Brian.
The fact is that they don't belong in every song of every style of "metal".This is the area where your extremely weak at understanding.Its like asking why isn't there any guitar solos in most punk?
What about Breaking The Law and what about "Take On The World" by JP...they do not have a guitar solo in them,are they not good? What about United? No guitar solo in it.
Or how about Love Bites Brian? Love Bites does NOT have a guitar solo in it,only harmony bends that couldn't come close to be considered a "guitar solo"...so is Love Bites lame becaise of your philosophy?

I saw this movie called Killshot yesterday. Mickey Rourke plays this Indian hitman ( cherokee, not like gandhi ) who goes after this couple because they witness himself and his sidekick commit a crime. Pretty standard stuff but entertaining. Joseph Gordon Levitt is good as the sidekick. Based on an Elmore Leonard book.
Actually saw another Mickey Rourke one last week too, Barfly. Rourke plays this absolute derelict who is discovered to have a talent for writing. Faye Dunaway plays his drunken whore of a girlfriend. It's actually quite funny. Sly Stallones brother Frank is in it too, he plays a bartender who despises Rourke to the extent that every night they are going out into the alley behind the bar to scrap it out. It was pretty good.

Latest Metal Meltdown show is up now guys. There's some cool stuff on there this week, check out new High On Fire also Shrinebulider and a buddy of mines band NORT. There's even some Def Leppard on there. Here's the link www.coastaccessradio.org.nz Enjoy. JJ.
Don't forget this 1986 classic JD. I'm sure this would have been one of your favourite songs and albums for that year. You would have been there, front row, with your hair all teased up, fist in the air, singing along, loving it. 86, what a year!!!
LOL! I fuckin hate Megadeth mainly because of Mustain's voice but I'll not slag the Peace Sells album because it was classic Megadeth at least,but Ozzy's Ultimate Sin album? Are you kidding me? lol! HAHHA yes we are all entitled to our own opinions but you are of the few who think this album was "good" as I think its Ozzy's worst LP of all time.
Yeah Master Of Puppets was cool I'll give you that. I was disappointed with Judas Priest's Turbo,Iron Maiden's Somewhere In time,Venom's Calm Before The Storm promo,Celtic Frost's Into The Pandemoium promo, but yeah there was Master Of Puppets,King Diamond's Fatal Portrait albums were good...maybe 1986 wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be...I mainly said that because of Turbo and Somewhere In time...both major letdowns. But The Ultimate Sin? LOL! In my opinion it blows Craig! lol! I'm glad you enjoy that record no worries lol!

Dude... do you really believe that 1986 was a terrible year for metal? Are you sure? I think it was a great year! LMAO! Sure, Turbo sucked, but what about Ozzy Osbourne's Ultimate Sin and Metallica's Master Of Puppets? Not to mention other incredible metal releases such as Peace Sells by Megadeth!
That Ozzy Osbourne video cracks me up!!!! (Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Tuesday, March 09, 2010 1:16:26 AM)

J.D. DIAMOND wrote:
Yeah it "sucks" Painkiller87!! lol! I was really looking forwards to this new Darkthrone album,and I listened to all of it,needless to say I will NOT be buying this album. I know what your talking about when bands go mainstream too,Darkthrone didn't go mainstream but they altered and totally changed thier style since the last album 'Dark Thrones And Black Flags" from 2008. So much to the point that its not Darkthrone anymore.
Judas Priest did this to me with Nostradamus too,I know there are those who like it,but to me its not "Judas Priest" at all,its the members of Judas Priest doing another style of music alltogether.This is what Darkthrone has become and its "SAD" to tell you the truth.I wasn't really "thrilled" with the new Immortal album but at least they didn't go overboard with it,it still sounds like Immortal but just not to my likings,the album is ok but its not one of Immortal's best records.
Maybe the next one will be better.As for Darkthrone,thier set on this new style and sound so I've dug a hole and buried them as of today,I don't think they will go back to their kick ass sound and style,I believe they are finished. The best album that has recently come out(Feb.2009) is the new "ABSU" album self titled.This new album is absolutely excellent.
But yeah I do hate it when bands drop thier sound and style jump ship and go in another direction. I'm not one of these people that trick themselves into liking something like.."oh give it another try/listen in a couple months it might grow on you"...it doesn't work for me,either I like it or hate it first listen,like Nostradamus album...the day I heard the whole album I instantly hated it,and still do,maybe even more now. Same will be this new Darkthrone album,I will never like it. Oh well,as I said I still have the great new Absu album to hold me over untill the next great record I hear...hopefully it will be a Judas Priest album!!

Don't you hate it when that happens? A band you love just starts deviating away from what you liked? Especially if bands start going "mainstream". yeesh. Freaking Lacuna Coil is a big example that I have had to deal with since last year.
J.D. DIAMOND wrote:
Well,I just heard the entire album "Circle The Wagons" (2010) by one of my long-time fav.bands "Darkthrone" and sadly I have to say and admit that it is the worst Darkthrone album to date!! I know that Nocturno and Fenriz diviate from the rest of the wanna-be black metal scene and changing styles is what they are about these days but fuckin a,what I'm hearing is anything but 'Darkthrone".
They call thier new style black heavy metal punk but it doesn't sound anything like it.Thier last 2 albums 2008 Dark Thrones And Black Flags and 2007's "F.O.A.D." sounded like black heavy metal punk but this new album is ridiculous in my ears,the "singing" is absolutely horrible and too un-Darkthrone-like.
I think they have gone too far the other way.I was really looking forwards to this new release only to discover this once great band is now 'dead". (SIGH). So much for one of my favorite bands,not any more.
I don't think Trujillos made a scrap of difference to Metallica. The best album he's played on is Suicidals Lights Camera. The thing that cracks me up about Metallic**t is that for years they picked on Newsted and marginalised him until he quit and he was the most "metal" guy in the band. Now they are trying to get back to the metal ( now that it's fashionable again ) and the only guy in the band who never lost sight of it is gone.
Please do post that pic of Lars Ulrich in dockers.
What else has Trujillo done of note apart from Suicidal, Infectious Grooves, some shit Ozzy stuff and some shit Metallica stuff? Anything worth checking out? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Thursday, March 11, 2010 1:53:10 PM)

Personally, I loathe GREAT WHITE! What a shit band!! Yeah, perhaps I am also once bitten, twice shy. That goes double for shitallica of late. All they have produced. SHIT!
Great White wrote:
Yes it's ok for me to dislike Turbo and Nostradamus and I don't give a shit if you like it or not you moron.... As I said, or maybe your partially illiterate as well, I don't like Metallica, however as a person who enjoy's music I do acknowledge that they are successful. Just as Michael Jackson was successful, and I don't like his music either.
Female? Yes I am. You really are a jerk off even to suggest that I said to kiss your ass. You can bash Iron Maiden all you want, bash Metallica all you want, obviously you don't understand and read between the lines that others are NOT like you and like the same things you do. Therefore, as such a musically inclined person that you majestically are, you should appreciate that others have a difference of opinion. Get off your high fucking horse.
Morning gang! Sorry to "post and run" but I am in the clutches of a terrible chest cold. Coughing like crazy, sore throat, etc. Absolutely awful. Must grab some medicine and go lay down. A week and a half to the next show!!..I MUST get well.
Oh by the way, if anyone happens to get an opportunity to chat with "gillymott", please be kind and welcoming to her as a favor to me? She is a lovely, British lass that I believe would love to be a part of our group. Any kindness you can extend to her would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks, guys. Talk soon.
My last rant wasn't about me being a victim. I was expressing anger about myself
not allowing me to be myself. I referred to my initial appearance as the number one reason.
The last time I posted pictures it caused others to argue(discuss) Ripper. I was thinking here we go
again so I deleted (all) of them. No pictures, no arguments. After I thought about it I came to the conclusion
that I'm just being a p*ssy and decided f*ck that. I'm sick of not being me. I came to the same conclusion
that you all have. That first incident is behind me and I'm not going to worry about what I post anymore.
I am going to be myself. I will not personally attack or antagonize anyone and I will try to give thought to what I post,
but I'm not going to cower anymore. As far as saying "I just want everyone to like me" I'm not sure where you
got that from because. If you read what I wrote then you would see that I said "I don't care if anyone likes
me anymore or not." That was the biggest part of the problem. That's the part I want to change. I was constantly
backing down to appease everyone. Screw that. This is three posts now all stating pretty much the same thing.
I can't explain it any differently.

Oh I see,so you must think Michael Jackson's music is top notch and good quality right? After all he has had an even bigger success than "Shitallica" so just because a band has "big success" to you they must be great and excellent song writters then right? Please,give me a fuckin break.Oh I see your a female so I should be kissing your ass huh?Not a fat chance lady,not a fat chance.
Aren't I a bit narrow minded? You got it lady,I am "narrow minded" and thats why I know my shit when it comes to "metal" music. Its not ok for me to bash your Iron Maiden and Shitallica but its ok for you to slag Priest for Turbo and Nostradamus? Whatever,your a contradiction walking....or running your mouth for that matter.

Dragon Force Singer Leaves Band
The U.S. branch of Roadrunner Records released a story at approximately 6:03 p.m. EST today (Monday, March 8) via its official web site (and distributed through the site's official RSS feed) containing the following text (Note: The story has since been removed from the site):
"DRAGONFORCE have split with lead singer ZP Theart. The band issued the following statement regarding the matter:
"'It is with great regret that DRAGONFORCE announce a parting of the ways with singer ZP Theart. This is due to insurmountable differences of musical opinion but the rest of the band sincerely wishes ZP great success with his future projects.
"'While the creative core members have begun writing the fifth album, they have also started a worldwide search for a new vocalist.'
"'We are looking for a powerful, melodic singer to write a new chapter of DRAGONFORCE with us,' said guitarist Herman Li.
"Anyone wishing to audition for the vacant position should apply following the instructions right here."
A screenshot of the story as it appeared in Google Reader (a web-based aggregator, capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds online or offline) can be viewed below.
DRAGONFORCE's latest album, 2008's "Ultra Beatdown", sold 24,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart.
DRAGONFORCE had its first two studio albums — "Valley Of The Damned" and "Sonic Firestorm" — reissued on February 22, 2010 via Spinefarm Records U.K. Both titles were made available with updated packaging and bonus audio/DVD content, some of it exclusive to these releases.
I'm sure metal fans will be lining up at the doors of record stores worldwide when this highly anticipated cd is released. First time I've heard of Gary Cherone being described as spellbinding. Maybe he wrote that press release himself.
Reunited Massachusetts hard rockers EXTREME will release the "Take Us Alive" live CD and DVD on April 23 in Europe and May 4 in the U.S. via Frontiers Records.
In 2008, following a 13-year hiatus, EXTREME returned to the stage for its "Take Us Alive" world tour, which encompassed 75 cities and multiple continents in support of the band's new record, "Saudades de Rock".
This recording captures EXTREME at the peak of its game with a renewed enthusiasm led by Gary Cherone's spellbinding stage performance and powerful vocals, Nuno Bettencourt's ferocious guitar, Pat Badger's flawless bass and Kevin Figueiredo's pounding drums and spot-on back-up vocals.
This brilliant performance was recorded on the last night of their tour at the House of Blues on August 8, 2009 in EXTREME's hometown of Boston.
"We wanted to do something really special for our hometown fans that were there for us since the beginning… the club days," states Nuno. "It was the last night of the tour and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by bringing it back to where it all started… Boston."
The concert showcases material from all five EXTREME albums and exhibits the band's broad stylistic abilities. Features include a blistering rendition of the LED ZEPPELIN-minded "Comfortably Dumb", the scorching "Play With Me", the funked-up "Cupid's Dead" as well as the anthemic "Get The Funk Out". Songs like EXTREME's #1 hit "More Than Words" and the Top 5 single "Hole Hearted" highlight the crowds enthusiasm and loyal support their fan base has had for this beloved foursome.
"As much as we enjoy recording, for me, I've always loved playing live for the fans," Cherone says. "We couldn't wait to get out there and play for our fans."
The DVD will contain four unreleased bonus videos from "Saudades de Rock" — "King of the Ladies", "Interface", "Run" and "Ghost". The clips were produced by Nuno Bettencourt.
"This DVD/CD is a culmination of all the years we played together and the chemistry the four of us put out live," explains Bettencourt.
"Take Us Alive" concert track listing:
01. Decadence Dance
02. Comfortably Dumb
03. Rest in Peace
04. It's a Monster
05. Star
06. Tell me Something I Don't Know
07. Medley - Kid Ego / Little Girls / Teacher's Pet
08. Play With Me
09. Midnight Express
10. More Than Words
11. Ghost
12. Cupid's Dead
13. Take us Alive
14. Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee
15. Get the Funk Out
16. Am I Ever Gonna Change
17. Hole Hearted
Bonus music videos (DVD only)
18. King of the Ladies
19. Interface
20. Run
21. Ghost

I know Vail,its not a "bad picture" its just that its NOT Eddie,just like on the Fear Of The Dark album,that to me ws not "Eddie",and now this picture the least like Eddie out of any Iron Maiden album covers,unless its a decoy and the real Eddie is in the album cover somewhere? I don't know but if what we are seeing is the album cover than it sucks because its not Iron Maiden.And after 30 years "The Final Frontier" is the best title they can come up with? That title alone sucks.I have a huge vibe that this album is going to be terrible,but Brian Evans(the dumb one,not the original one)already loves it even though he hasn't heard it yet,because he has no opinions just fanboyism.Hey Brian.."FUCK YOU".

From Corrosion, Deliverance or In The Arms Of God, from Monster Magnet Dopes To Infinity or Powertrip to begin with. Check out the new metal meltdown show Corrosions song Heavens Not Overflowing is the first song after the first voice break. Thats one of their best I reckon. If you like that you'll love Corrosion.

I hate the Nostradamus album and I actually bought tickets to see Priest before I heard the Nostradamus album,after I heard the entire Nostradamus album I sold my tickets as I was pissed off and would still do it again.Judas Priest are my favorite band yes,but since they put out a shit album it "ruined it for me" so much to the point of I don't even want to see them!!

He doesn't have the charisma of Kirk, the intelligence of Spock or the humanitarianism of Bones. He's dead meat. You can tell he's nervous because he's already got his phaser out. Hostile aliens will sense the fear and pounce. Star Trek was way ahead of it's time, this photo is probably 40 years old and you can see Kirk is texting. A Nostradamus moment from Gene Roddenberry.
HAAAA!! Just be sure that you are not the one in the red shirt!

If Maiden are playing in your area you should definately go. Even if the album is crap they'll still play a whole bunch of classic songs as well. Iron Maiden is one of the best live acts around.

Songs about Vulcan death grips, beaming down to places and being logical doesn't sound like much fun. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Space,the final frontier....these are the voyagers of the less than average album creators(lol!) yes great news for nerds jimmy!! lol! I'm actually hoping that this album turns out good but I'm not holding my breath,especially with the album title and that terrible looking picture of what I hope not to be "Ediide" but album covers don't always tell the picture so we'll have to wait untill we hear it,then if it sucks wich it probably will we can bash it! lol!!

Hey guys. Program 6 of Metal Meltdown went up a few minutes ago and is available to listen to at www.coastaccessradio.org.nz As usual the show is in two parts on the web. If you have any requests please post them here or PM me, they don't have to be Priest, Fight or Halford requests by the way. Enjoy the show. JJ.
Awesome thanks for that. I'll keep an eye out for some of those on my next trip to the cd store. Always great to get some recommendations. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Monday, March 01, 2010 4:34:17 PM)

Yeah I know you were not "criticizing it" jimmy and yeah I know what it means:In Latin, the text “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS” would have been written, “Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum.” Abbreviated, this phrase results in “INRI.” I got the "punch line" and the joke as well.
Venom's best albums are the first 4 from 1981 to 1985 Welcome To Hell,Black Metal,At War With Satan and Possessed.The other 2 albums by Venom that are very good are 1996 "Cast In Stone and 2000 "Ressurection". Those are the 6 best Venom albums of all time,the rest I wouldn't really recommend.
I like Bathory's first 4 albums,1984 "Bathory" then "The Return" and then 1986 Under The Sign Of The Black Mark and the classic 1988 album "Blood, Fire, Death . But when "Twilight Of The Gods" came out in 90' or 91' thats when I didn't care for Quorthon's music anymore,it just wasn't "Bathory" to me anymore as the sound and style changed to drastically.
Celtic Frost used to be very cool with thier first 2 albums 1984 "Morbid Tales" and 1985 "To Mega Therion" but after that they fell apart going into a very commercial non-like-Celitc Frost style.By the time Vanity Nemisis came out they were already "terrible" in my opinion.
The best King Diamond albums in my opinion are Fatal Portrait,Voodoo and The Puppet master,but thats the only 3 albums I really like by the King,the rest are just not my thing. These are the albums from Venom,King Diamond,Celtic Frost and Bathory that I would recommend you playing on your radio show rather than any other releases from these bands.The albums that I mentioned are the band's best albums in the eyes of many old-school fans from back in the day,just an observation and of course an opinion but a damn good opinion! lol!

King Diamonds pretty cool too, always liked Fatal Portrait and Conspiracy. Even had a couple of Bathory albums on cassette, Blood Fire Death and another one called Twilight i think. Have to dig them out and have another listen to them, if i can find a cassette player, they're pretty hard to come by these days. Actually thinking about it had a Celtic Frost cassette as well called Vanity/Nemesis, try to find that too. (Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Monday, March 01, 2010 3:50:27 PM)

(lol!) Yeah its probably nothing that floats your boat jimmy,but these bands are the elite classic black/death metal bands of the 1980's,these are the Godfathers of extreme metal.There was nothing before "Venom" only "punk" and of course traditional heavy metal like our own Judas Priest,but for extreme metal ....nope,there was nothing before Venom.
They created "black metal" and also the term "death metal",speed metal and thrash metal...it was all Venom.The media quicky labeled anything "satanic" as "black metal" in the early 80's and thats what it became,even old Mercyful Fate like the debut album and Melissa,Don't Break The Oath albums were considered "black metal" even though King was playing heavy metal music wise,but because of the heavy satanic theme it was called "Black metal" and looking back on it now rightfully so.
At that time there was no band that supported corpse paint as King Diamond did with his satanic beliefs. Venom created black metal but it was Venom,Mercyful fate and Bathory are the 3 bands that made up the early black metal scene of the 80's along with bands like Hellhammer,Celtic Frost and Sarcofago as well.Some of these bands like Venom,Bathory,Sarcofago didn't play guitar solos in some of thier songs but the majority had them, while a band like Hellhammer didn't play solos at all,just rhythm guitar assult and it wasn't because they didn't know how to play solos,and it wasn't the record company telling them not to play any because of a "trend" like the early 90's grunge scene,it was an "underground" attitude of agression,thats it...no other reason.
Just like the old punks not playing solos,it wasn't designed for technical guitar solo players at all,it was to cater to the underground rivit heads into non-popular music,every track didn't need a glamourous "guitar solo" but they still played some,just not every track.People who can't understand this are nothing more than "morons". Its like bashing the Ramones for not playing "solos"?? lol! But these bands were "classic underground" elite bands from the awsome 1980's. Toxic Holocaust's song "Nuke The Cross" plays tribute to this genre and they do it well,very well.

It's going to be a special show this week as I have a song which some of the members of JP.com emailed to me so worth checking out of that reason alone. Thanks to Phil ( Metal Meltdown ) and Rick ( Metallark ) and their bandmate Doug for that. Also to Acolyte and Headbanger your requests are in there too.
Had a couple of technical difficulties with this weeks show in that I cannot access it from my computer but other people can so if you have any problems please let me know either in this thread or by PM so I can try and get them rectified. Thanks and enjoy. JJ.
Hi guys, this week marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Bon Scott and this weeks installment of metal meltdown has a tribute to him as part of the show. Go to www.coastaccessradio.org.nz and click on Metal Meltdown. As usual the show is in two parts, hope you guys enjoy it. JJ.
LOL! Well fanboys are just irritating,but I would want to take up your idea but instead of fanboys replace them with metal bands and fans that don't support true metal aesthetics because they are contributing to the downfall of heavy metal so with that I could take all these worthless losers and torture them Jimmy Just like this album cover 1987 Holocausto!!!!

Nope, while a couple of explosions and Eddie are nice and all, I am still there for the music alone. THAT is where they have failed since the 80s, IMO.

Iron Maiden Completes Recording New Album
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have completed the recording process for their new album at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas with producer Kevin Shirley. According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."
Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".
The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.
Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.
"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"
IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."
IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

The thing that cracks me up about the olympics is the guys on the IOC, a bunch of corrupt, fatcats who go round the world, staying in the best hotels, eating in the best restaurants, whoring and drinking and doing coke off the thighs of $10 000 a night hookers at the expense of the cities who hope to host the games.

I think the skinflint bastards charge people to chat on their noticeboard too. I think it's 10 pounds a year or something. That's why I'm not a member. The Maiden / Priest debate is a weird one because when you listen to them they both do totally different things. They have a lot in common such as great vocalists who are very different i think, awesome musicianship, wicked songs, same era give or take, both english etc but musically they do vastly different stuff. eg Number of the Beast and SFV came out the same year, they are nothing alike. DOTF and Powerslave again like black and white. I think both bands are cool but don't think much of their recent stuff. Would go to see either live.

According to a posting on Kevin's official web site, "There's still work to do, but the band portion is complete and in the can, so to speak."
Shirley also worked on the last three MAIDEN albums — 2000's "Brave New World", 2003's "Dance of Death" and 2006's "A Matter of Life and Death".
The next IRON MAIDEN album will be the band's fifteenth studio record, and they face a challenge to follow up "A Matter of Life and Death", which was received well critically and saw the group play the whole album on tour.
Speaking at last year's premiere of the band's documentary film "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", guitarist Adrian Smith stated, "There's always a bit of pressure to follow up the last album, in a way it's good because it motivates you.
"We never get complacent; we always try our best for our own sake as much as anything else. As far as pressure for another album, we just do what we do — we've been doing it long enough now, we know what we're doing. [laughs]"
IRON MAIDEN guitarist Janick Gers revealed to BBC News in November that the band was on its way "to Paris for three weeks to work on some new stuff." He added, "The most important thing for a band is to create new music, otherwise you're not valid — you become a parody."
IRON MAIDEN will headline this year's edition of the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival, which will be held Saturday, July 31, 2010 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at Knebworth.

Releasing a new album would be a start. I think they should do that before they do anything else. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Budred from Wednesday, February 17, 2010 5:19:02 PM)

Before the Priest call it quits what would you like to see them do? I've heard mention of a Nostradamus tour.
Any opinions on this?
If you could decide the next Priest tour what would it be?
I would like to see a recreation of one of their first tours. I've seen most everything since Point of Entry.
An original set list from Sad Wings would probably be the ultimate for me. Maybe Sin After Sin
just to give them more material.

I'm so excited..
Added to that, I'm taking my cousin to a gig next friday, Europe and Diamond Head (I'm introducing him to Rock music gradually). Yes, Guido, Europe- don't kill me! Its gonna be pretty good.

Here is Onslaught "Power From Hell" 1985the first album....everything after this album is lame because they changed members in the band and ect...but this debut album I still have on LP that I bought in 1985 when it was brand new and on the back it says "Death Metal At It's Heaviest". I look back on this album now and think wow this was real death metal,and they had spikes,black leather jackets,chains,studs,boots..ect..total fuckin metal not just sweat pants jogging sweats with a t-shirt up on stage boring the crowd,back then the underground of death metal and black metal used to support true metal aesthetics unlike today,a few still support it but half of them don't and I think it "SUCKS".
Sodom are thrash but they are a black thrash in my eyes and hell yeah Agent Orange 1989 is fuckin killer and thier best is 1987 debut album "Persecution Mania" in my opinion that album is fuckin awsome also includes a top notch version of Iron Fist from Motorhead!

I hear what you're saying. I guess I just have a bit more flexibility than most and usually aren't bothered by it that much unless it becomes obvious/blatant. I have been really trying to look back for some old albums from varying bands to just feel what it was like back in the 80s and early 90s. Quite frankly I am LOVING IT!
If only they would get my copy of Agent Orange by Sodom ON TIME I wouldn't be in a slightly sour mood myself. Amazon is great, except when it comes to ordering imports cause that's when the delays happen more often than not for me. That's what is really ticking me off really right now, back to the subject of the thread.

Well,I was there in the beginning of death metal and to be honest I don't consider "In Flames" a true real death metal band.I think Suffocation is death metal but this is why I don't like "death metal" because it used to be more like "black metal" in the early days.Nowadays death metal is plain short sleeve shirts with eh just wear just about anything and get up there and growl? Its just not the same as it once was.It used to be hidden and about not doing fucking videos! I only own a handful of death metal albums and the rest are black metal,heavy metal,thrash metal but only the old-school "elite" black metal albums and cds,not the new trendy shit.
Black metal is not what it used to be either as I was there in the beginning of black metal as well,Venom,Mercyful Fate,Bathory,Hellhammer,Celtic Frost,Sarcafago,Mayhem,Mortuary Drape...all in the 1980's and then with Mayhem's norwegian scene with Darkthrone,Immortal,Emperor,Gorgoroth,Carpathian Forest,Mutiilation,Abigor,Judas Iscariot...bands like this were true black metal until the scene was ruined with kids who were obsessed with wearing corpse paint like it was halloween or some shit like that.
The internet is what really killed black metal because it was a portal for unworthy kids to try and fit in with this genre of something they were never a part of,I watched it all and watched it all crumble down to mainstream crap of today and it makes me sick. Bands like "Behemoth" used to be elite black metal as I still have Sventivith Storming Near The Baltic from 1995 and claim it as Behemoth's best album yet every time I mention this killer record to somebody who likes Behemoth they never even knew it existed? Its a joke to say the least and I've grown tired of it.Fuck off to "death metal" and the trendy commercial black metal scene as well.
Painkiller87 wrote:
I understand quite well about these things. Honestly I like a lot of the old school and newer death metal bands but the latter only a select few. I like Death, early In Flames, Suffocation and some bands like that. But I really love Amon Amarth because they are really well done music wise and though they have some commercial ties but at least they are awesome IMO. I mean I can go in detail about my likes and dislikes of death metal but I have to get back to work. Maybe at lunch time in a couple of hours.
J.D. DIAMOND wrote:
Here is the "shit video" of the new Behemoth.This is whats pissing me off lately,is fucking "Death Metal"...what the fuck happened to this once elite genre? Fucking A man,this video looks like something fucking Whitesnake would of done with the clean cut bitch in the video ect.... this shit is too clean and commercial for "death metal".
Behemoth also recently played at "Ozz Fest" on the second stage opening up for the shit tunnel hat crap trend band "Hatebreed" fuckin lame ass shit man.I remember when Morbid Angel released Altars Of Madness in 1989,I remember when Deicide released thier debut album in 1990,and the 1980's death metal like Protector,Onslaught's first album "Power Fron Hell"(1985)Hobbs Angel Of Death band,there was no shitty commercailism back then until Morbid Angel did Bleesed Are The Sick in 1991 and from then on it has sucked.
Death Metal shouldn't have fucking "videos" like this,it a fuckin joke.Today when somebody asks me if I like death metal I say "FUCK NO". And all this shit music ....either its too fucking slow,or its out of control garble,at least with true elite black metal there are melodies within the chaos ect...totally more understandable with black metal but this trendy commercial death metal is a joke,I hate all of it.

I think the skinflint bastards charge people to chat on their noticeboard too. I think it's 10 pounds a year or something. That's why I'm not a member. The Maiden / Priest debate is a weird one because when you listen to them they both do totally different things. They have a lot in common such as great vocalists who are very different i think, awesome musicianship, wicked songs, same era give or take, both english etc but musically they do vastly different stuff. eg Number of the Beast and SFV came out the same year, they are nothing alike. DOTF and Powerslave again like black and white. I think both bands are cool but don't think much of their recent stuff. Would go to see either live.

I disagree about Nostra as most know. I love it. I have been to dozens of Priest shows against one or two Maiden shows. Were you to see my house, you'd find an interesting mix. TONS of Priest stuff (hell, five guitars!) mixed in with a handful of 80s Maiden stuff. Of course, I have things from other bands but I have a serious Priest addiction.
While I mentioned why I don't care for Maiden much anymore, I can elaborate as to why....they are FAR too "jumpy" in rhythm for me now. Each song seems like ten minutes long with so many changes that I just can't seem to get a grip on it. Of course, I refer to the new material. Sure, I can find a song here and there that I do like, I can find a bunch out of Nostra. As a complete album, I can say without hesitation that I still love it. Perhaps the "fanboy" in me talking, but I run to it all the time. Were I to try that with Maiden, I'd trip over my own feet!
Probably explains why I am not a member of Maiden's site.

Maiden do the same thing, they know what people want to hear and play that, it makes sense.

Nothing more. They do not inspire me as they did in the past. Their last tour and album was so miserable that Dickenson even admits it in a couple of interviews I have heard. I think they didn't have anywhere else to GO except back "Somewhere in Time" trying to recapture their old fan-base.
Nope, while a couple of explosions and Eddie are nice and all, I am still there for the music alone. THAT is where they have failed since the 80s, IMO.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. There are two that I think are top of the pile. Stained Class and Painkiller, if I had to pick one over the other Stained Class would get it by half a point just because the song Leather Rebel on PK is a bit dorky and the lyrics on Nightcrawler are stupid. I think Stained Class is one of Priests most varied efforts, the lyrics are cool, it has a dark atmosphere to it, Halfords vocals are his best on any album in my opinion, awesome musicianship, it has the best and most interesting cover and most importantly no bad / corny songs. I can't think of anything wrong with it. It epitomises what metal should be. A true classic of all time. The other album that gets a look in is DOTF, that gets third place due to the fact that Night Comes Down is melodramatic and weak, the rest of the album is awesome. British Steel is awesome but United and Living After Midnight are cheesy. SFV is cool to but loses marks for Chains and Pain And Pleasure. HBFL is let down by Evening Star, Take On The World and Evil Fantasies and SWOD misses out because of Prelude ( waste of time ), Epitaph and Island Of Domination. So therefore due to the fact that it is absolutely flawless Stained Class is the greatest Priest album of all time.

I never would, not that it's much of a party cd in the first place. Maybe if your having a really depressing party..... Anyway the practice should be outlawed.
Godsmacks Voodoo is another one. 10 minutes of silence, folowed by some druming. WTF? these things are especialy annoying if you set your multidisc player to random. never gonna have that Manson disk in at a party are you?

Here's something that fucks me right off. Hidden bonus tracks on cds. What the fuck is the point? If the songs good just put it on the album, if it's not why the fuck is it on there. It's even worse when you have to listen to 10 minutes of slience just to hear the band fucking around in the studio like some kind of lame in joke. Classic examples include Mastodons Blood Mountain album which has a long period of silence followed by Josh Homme from QOTSA talking shit and Marilyn Mansons Antichrist Superstar which has 99 tracks, 16 of which are songs, then there are 82 tracks which consist of 4 seconds of silence each and then a minute and a half of static and stupid voices at the end. This practice is retarded and perpetrators should be burned alive. Bastards.
Ok guys, bringing the football talk to the NFL thread...lol
I think one of the differences as far as contact goes between Rugby and the NFL is that each offensive play in the NFL starts from a set position...that means the defense has more time to 'measure' an offensive ball handler up before contact is made...sometimes it's intantanious (contact), but more often than not the defender has the chance at a running start. 'Timing' is an important skill when throwing the ball and the receiver is focused on catching the ball and has little to no time to get into a position to protect themselves against a hit, so the hits are truly more dramatic and painful (even with protective gear). And there's a psycological impact to that as well that can disrupt a game plan. Ever hear a player being accused of having 'alligator arms'? Edited at: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 2:55:28 AM

Often hitting guys in NFL is like shooting fish in a barrel, The defensive player is charging forward to make the hit while the attacking player is practically standing still or moving sideways. In rugby league you have the offensive and defensive lines moving towards each other at pace making for some mighty collisions and lots of injuries, it's AWESOME!!!

I think it's part of the reason they spend so long in between albums these days. There has to be 15 songs instead of 8 or ten and you have to pretty much fill up the available space on the cd. Even bad ideas get stretched out into songs. Number Of The Beast, 8 Songs, 9 if you have the version with Total Eclipse which ruins the continuity of the album. Piece Of Mind, 9 songs. Powerslave 8 songs. This is the way forward for Maiden. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Tuesday, February 16, 2010 1:45:45 AM)

Great, hope it's got 10 songs or less and is less than an hour long. I'm sick of these 75 minute albums with 9+ minute long songs. 10 songs ranging from 3 1/2 minutes to 5 minutes with maybe one 6 or 7 minute epic would be perfect.

Now thats what an American footballer should look like. There's a few old school rugby and league players that look like that. Jack Lambert actually looks like an ex All Black called Alex "Grizz" Wylie. There's actually a rugby league player called Gary Larsen and they call him The Godfather because he talks like Marlon Brando in the movie, reason being because his throat got crushed in a game. They are tough guys.
LOL! HAHA yeah I don't know why they call it football but it just is,hows that? lol! I used to argue with a guy from Australia with him calling NFL "weak" because they wear gear and helmets ect.... above is a picture of Jack Lambert from the old Pittsburgh Steelers...can you imagine getting hit full speed from a guy like Jack Lambert with no gear on? HAHAHA! That guy from Australia wouldn't last a second! lol! Rugby is tough,very tough but they hit unintentionally,with NFL football that is what you are supposed to do is crush somebody!!!! lol! You Europeaners are probably right as the states probably ripped off the name "football" for the NFL I don't really know but the NFL here in the USA is the best sport there is in my opinion,I've been a fan since 1976 when I was 6 years old. Hail to the NFL!! lol Jimmy!!

What's this I've read about Scorsese and DeNIro planning to either remake Taxi Driver or make a sequel in which Travis is older? I hope they don't do it. Taxi Driver is not the kind of movie that needs a sequel and it definately doesn't need to be remade, DeNiro is 66 now the article was saying, it wouldn't be the same. Besides there's already enough movies been made about old guys kicking ass, Death Wish 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ( Charles Bronson ) spring to mind, Gran Torino ( Clint Eastwood ), Rambo 4 ( Sly ), Unforgiven ( Clint again ), Taken ( Liam Neeson ), Collateral Damage ( Arnie ), it's getting ridiculous.

Metallica used to be good too. 8 or 9 songs, most of them between 5 and 8 minutes, still made for only a 45 to 50 minute album. And the songs varied so much they never got boring. Then they did Black album which had 12 songs but they made sure the songs were shorter, don't think theres any over 6 minutes. After that they went to shit as we know but initially they had the right idea.
Agreed again, Back in Black is a great example of how an album should be - no mucking about trying to show the listener how long and awesomely they can play, just 9 fantastic songs that don't bore you and leave you wanting to listen again. I was STOKED they played Shoot To Thrill at the concert here, it's my favourite off that album. It's one of the highest selling albums of all time for a reason.

Then take an album like Back In Black, 9 songs between 3 and 5 minutes and one 6 minute cracker to start proceedings, whole thing over in about 40 - 45 minutes, not a dull moment. Perfect.

Here's something that fucks me right off. Hidden bonus tracks on cds. What the fuck is the point? If the songs good just put it on the album, if it's not why the fuck is it on there. It's even worse when you have to listen to 10 minutes of slience just to hear the band fucking around in the studio like some kind of lame in joke. Classic examples include Mastodons Blood Mountain album which has a long period of silence followed by Josh Homme from QOTSA talking shit and Marilyn Mansons Antichrist Superstar which has 99 tracks, 16 of which are songs, then there are 82 tracks which consist of 4 seconds of silence each and then a minute and a half of static and stupid voices at the end. This practice is retarded and perpetrators should be burned alive. Bastards.

Great, hope it's got 10 songs or less and is less than an hour long. I'm sick of these 75 minute albums with 9+ minute long songs. 10 songs ranging from 3 1/2 minutes to 5 minutes with maybe one 6 or 7 minute epic would be perfect.

You can't take what Chris Jericho says seriously, he's a showman himself. They just brought him in to be outspoken and add a bit of flavour to an otherwise boring conversation. Someone's got to take the other side in any debate. He's the same in wrestling, he makes people irate and makes it fun. On the other hand maybe he does prefer Dickinson, many people do. A lot of people find Halfords screams and clownish stage antics annoying.
Hell yes, they are terribly underrated. People always move towards Maiden cos they're more well known and out in the media more often. I think it's a matter of personal preference more often than not - we prefer Rob by miles, some people prefer Bruce.
LOL I've been having a debate on youtube (that video below actually) with a dude about Halford and Dickinson - he says Dickinson is more influential cos more people copy his style, er whatever lol. He reckons Geoff Tate and Axl Rose were influenced by Dickinson, I said actually Queensryche in one form or another have been around for the same length of time as Maiden, so I'd say Tate fell in to that style of singing on his own, and Axl is just Axl, you hear him and think Axl, not oh he was influenced by so and so. Personally, I think Halford and Dickinson are so difficult to emulate, people rarely seriously try LOL!

I love Bruce too and OLD Iron Maiden, don't get me wrong. But comparing Bruce and Rob to each other, I just don't understand how anyone can think Bruce is better. But they always say the same thing - Bruce is a better performer. Well, I guess that is a matter of opinion. I much prefer Rob's stage presence. When he walks out on stage, I don't know, something just happens to the audience. People often forget that Rob actually sings. He is so well known for his incredible screams, but they forget that he can sing! It really bugs me. When I listen to Priest, every song has a different flavor because Rob changes his voice. I never get bored listening to Priest. But once again, Priest and everyone in it is under rated and that is what pisses me off the most!

Good point HRMG, Rob has shown great variety in the way he sings, Bruce does sound pretty much the same - nothing wrong with that, but I love the variety Rob brings to the plate.

Yes Jericho is a dipshit that should stick to wrestling! I loved how everyone else said that they didn't want their lead singer jumping around like that!! No shit, but then again, if your lead guitarists play solos for 3 minutes during a song, what else are you gonna do? He'd be bored stiff if he didn't do SOMETHING during that! Rob is THE MAN and always will be. Just compare Bruce's vocals to Rob's in "The One You Love To Hate". Bruce's voice is just lost on that song compared to Rob and it isn't because they upped Rob's mike. Rob has a tone to his voice that just rises above everything else. Bruce sounds the same on every damn song he has ever sung. I've never understood how anyone could think that Bruce is a better vocalist when Rob can change his voice to match the song. Everyone talks about Rob's "screams" - yes they are INCREDIBLE, but he can SING anything and everything! Bruce can not. And let's not even talk about song writing.... Rob is THE METAL GOD for a reason!

I reckon they are going to carry on until 2014. That'll be 40 years since the first album. Huge 40th Anniversary tour etc, opportunity to re-release everything again.

I think it's insane not to have released a dvd or cd of the Painkiller tour. Also if you want the current dvd you have to buy another copy of British Steel the album. I guaranatee you many fans would already have purchased that cd at least twice in the past. And it's not giving the fans an amazing live package, it's selling the fans an amazing live package.

Well even if I strongly belive that the next new Judas Priest album will be a classic one,we may have to wait a very long time for a new record,I'm just guessing and grabbing at straws at this point,but with as many late 2009ish interviews I've read,the band were still even thinking about possibly doing a full blown tour of Nostradamus in its entirety.If this happens and becomes reality,then I think Judas Priest will not release another studio album untill mid-2012 around that time frame.
If they chose to work on an album by this summer,then we should get an album mid-2011. I miss the eraly 80's when most bands were releasing recods ever year,at the most every 2 years.Now-a-days its every fucking 3 to 4 years and thats just ridiculously way too long man,I know that they tour and thats where they really get thier $cash but come on Priest...how much more $cash do you need?? I would like to see the band sacrifice thier money for thier fans and pump out a few more Judas Priest albums before they retire.
Thats something that Motorhead and Saxon do consistantly is release albums every 2 years. There was only a year and a half time difference between Saxon's The Inner Sanctum and Into The Labyrinth albums,and Motorhead's Motorizer album was released in September 2008 and now they are finishing up in the studio with a new album as I type this,the album will be released in the summer so thats even a little less than 2 years apart..ect..I know that both Motorhead and Saxon do not tour as much and as long as Judas Priest or Iron Maiden but I wish that Priest would spend more time in the studio these last few years they have left.
I believe strongly that "the next Judas Priest album will be the band's last studio album of thier career". I don't think they will release 2 more studio albums,I think they only have one more record and thats why I'm sweating bullets waiting for it,its like the Super Bowl and the 5 best players on the team are retireing after the game win or lose...thats how this is.
Think about it...it will take till at least mid-late 2011 for the next album and the most maybe 2012...the next album after that would be something like 2016 and by then I don't think the band will be together anymore.I don't care about the Rolling Stones or 67 year old Ronnie James Dio...that doesn't mean Judas Priest will last that long,I'm not saying that I will be right,they may suprise me but I feel 95% sure that this next studio album will be the bands very last record guys.

Don't post crap then. If you want to start a band go and do it. How the hell do you expect to find people to play in your band in Australia when the majority of members on this site live in the U.S? All you have to do is take a piece of paper and write on it "Guitarist, Bassist and Drummer required to form heavy rock band. Influences include Guns N' Roses, Judas Priest, Skid Row. Call Screamin' Demon 12345678" stick it up in the music store, record store, supermarket, bottle store, everywhere, then wait for calls. It's easy.

First, if you are so incredibly talented it would follow that you would make a demo of some kind rather than drone on about your abilities. In this way , you can offer your "sound" to the right people and let them decide who it is you sound like and what, if anything, you can offer a band.
Next, I am not familiar with Australia but here in the States, we have something called "CraigsList". While I readily admit that we here in America are great innovators, I hardly believe we are the only country to have such a service. Surely there has to be something similar where you live? All you need to do is place an ad as a "singer" and you should get responses from others. If you place the ad properly, you can narrow your responses to those that are of a like musical influence. Of course, this brings us back to the demo. I have never heard of ANY (serious) band that is willing to hire or join someone based on what they say they can do or the clothes they wear. You will need to prove it. A demo is the easiest way to accomplish this.
Coming to this Board and advertising yourself as Rob-reincarnated might make for a bit of fun but it is likely not going to do you a lot of good IF you are a serious musician and not some kid that thinks entirely too much of himself. I do, however, wish you the very best of luck as I would love to hear what you really can do. I mean that in all sincerity.

Lastly, screw Metallica and Maiden. They both suck when compared to their early shit. I loved them both at one time. I hate them both now.

I don't think they are making fun of Maiden, I think they were just messing about as you do when your jamming. If anything it shows that they learned to play a maiden song.
You make a good point. I'll have to listen now to see if I get that same vibe. I'm not sure the "Run to the Hills" thing
isn't making fun of Iron Maiden. Did you notice how out of tune it is?

I'm not saying Metallica are Maiden clones or anything but there are Maiden influences in their early work. Fade To Black is similar to the sort of thing maiden do, little classical sounding guitar intros leading into songs, Fight Fire, Justice For All, lyrical themes Four Horsemen, Creeping Death, Phantom Lord. That epic sound a lot of early Metallica songs had. They even jammed out the first few bars of Run To The Hills on Garage Days.

Metallica were absolutely influenced by Maiden and many of the other British metal bands of the late 70s and early 80s. They've said so themselves many times.
[jimmyjames] Tuesday, February 09, 2010 8:12:42 PM
Fucking hell. More crap. Why can't they just release a new album? British Steel has already been remastered and released, What are they doing? Remastering the remaster and chucking in a dvd of themselves performing it 30 years on and an audio recording of the dvd. Sounds like a bit of a rip off designed to extort more money from their fans without actually offering anything new. A dvd of Priest on their 1980 BS tour would be more like it. Maybe an audio cd of their SFV tour and a dvd of the Painkiller tour. Why are they flooding the market with junk now when they are well past their peak. Nostradamus, the abysmal ATOE Live, Halfords christmas shit and now the bloody remaster of the remastered British Steel. What the fuck are they doing? Stop fucking about and write a new album!!!

Does it really mean anything in the "grand scheme"?..likely not.
I get your point, jj. I am no fan of the Grammys. I am no fan of the public, either. Its all a joke as far as the measure of musical talent goes. There are many, many acts that receive awards and I just do not see the attraction but, I am not the target audience. I am "happy" for Rob and the guys. If it makes them smile and Scott skip on television, I am happy for them. Other than that, it is what it is man.

When an act can put "Grammy Award Winning" in front of their name, it is a huge marketing tool. Just as the Academy Awards are important for actors and film industry types, the Grammys have a certain value to the music industry. The general public will always be nimrods. They have NO idea what is talent and what is not but they do buy albums. Whether we like it or not, Judas Priest make music for a living. It is their job. Just as we enjoy the advantages of various awards, certificates and other forms of recognition in our work world, a musical act will be able to make use, how ever slight, of a Grammy award in the same way... Marketing their wares. Further, it is an acknowledgement amongst their peers.
Do I believe Priest will have some significant jump in album sales as a direct result of this award..? No. They have accomplished more as a Metal act that most bands will ever know but they will have yet another milestone to add to their list of notables. There is some value there, at least as far as I can see. As far as the Grammys themselves, it is just as Eddie Trunk said, they are a lot of self-indulgent nonsense. They push the "pop" angle as hard as they can because that is what SELLS, and then they throw in things like a "Metal" category so that they appear to be legitimate.

I do recall that my friends and I thought it was VERY cool but, in those days, we felt we were OH so far above everyone else musically. We thought ourselves the "pinnacle" of musical opinion and taste. In the early to mid 70's, a name like Judas Priest (to us) was awesome.
Hard to say what the "mainstream" thought. We tried very hard NOT to fit in with the public. We also tried very hard to be "ahead" of the curve when it came to music, always trying to be "in the know" about what was coming and what would be the next "Zepplin". That is kind of how we gauged music.. I remember one of my best friends telling me Van Halen would be the next Zepplin. Of course, this was in 1976 or 77 when they were still going by "Mammoth".

Personally I love the name but I think it may have been a hindrance. Priest came out at
a time when bad publicity wasn't always good. Also I think religion had a little stronger hold
on people. They were getting ripped early on because of their name. Now to flip flop.
The publicity bad or not did get the name out there.
Anyone have an opinion.

Maiden hasn't put out a decent album since(not thier best but...)Seventh Son 1988. So Brian,how about that Maiden band in the entire 1990's?? HUH? Lets talk a fucking decade here 10 years of shitty albums:
1990 - No Prayer For The Dying
1992 -Fear Of The Dark
1995-The X-Factor
1998-Virtual Eleven
How about 10 straight years of your golen fucking joke of a band releasing 4 straight "shit" albums Brian?? Are you fuckin saying that these 4 crappy albums are "good Iron Maiden material"??HUH?
What a fucking "JOKE". Iron Maiden gave thier fans 4 straight shitty records and fan-boys like you claim that they are just as good as ANY Iron Maiden album,thats a fuckin sad joke dude.And how about that half assed Brave New World album Brian? Do you really think that those 5 shit songs are worthy Maiden tracks: Brave New World,Blood Brothers,Dream Of Mirrors,The Mercenary,The Fallen Angel?? Those songs are unworthy filler tracks and the album is hal-assed just like Point Of Entry is or Ram It Down.
To sum it up....Metallica is worse,but Iron Maiden has proven not to be far behind shittalica. How about making a thread about the entire 1990's from Iron Maiden,just those 4 albums and see what people will post.You'll find out that 95% of fans just from this site will bash this era of a once great band in Iron Maiden.Your flawless band isn't as flawless as you think.

January 2011 one year from now will be more exciting becaue then we will only have to wait about 8 months for the new record!

I think the reason you are having problems is that you're talking a lot of crap. For example you've been around for five minutes and start with all the fuck god, religion etc. Pointless and boring.
The dumb threads. Who would you like to kill in another band? What are you expecting? People to go hahaha i'd really love to kill Bret Michaels. What band do you wish you'd never heard? Wow good question, I really wish I'd never heard Metallica they are such dicks now. Christina A or Britney Spears? It's a metal site man, people understand it's a joke thread but the humour there is lame and predictable and people can't be bothered with it. Morning Wood, again, people understand it's a joke but what can you post to that, not much. It's just all crap.
Why not just involve yourself in existing threads, conversations etc and people will get to understand your humour, musical tastes, opinions etc and get to know you. It's almost like your forcing yourself onto people rather than getting to know them. When you get to know people differences in opinion in matters such as religion can lead to interesting debates. Just charging in and throwing a negative opinion out there makes people think your a tool. Which you're not.

LOL! HAHA sure I'll humor you,why not...heres "To lIve By The Sword" off of Lionheart album.The Nomad song is cool too,but the problem is that Brave New World only has 5 songs out of 10 songs that are cool,the other 5 songs suck man. They have 5 killer Maiden tracks: The Wicker Man,Ghost Of The Navigator, The Nomad,Out Of The Silent Planet and The Thin Line Between Love And Hate .And they have 5 shitty boring mundane overrated tracks like the boring: Brave New World, Blood Brothers,The Mercenary ,Dream Of Mirrors and The Fallen Angel.
That makes only a half an album thats worth a shit,this is all my personal opinions of course but I'm basing this off of feed back from multiple fans who have commented on both Maiden albums and Saxon albums.What I'm saying is that Saxon for what they are supposed to be doing are doing it "better" than what Maiden has been doing the last 20 years thats the last 7 studio albums from them. They are all "half-assed" with the exception of 2006's "A Matter Of Life And Death"...that album has 10 songs on it and in my opinion 8 of them are classic Iron Maiden,thier best album since 1988's Seventh Son album.
But the last 7 studio albums by Maiden are really not that great. Brave New World to me is only half good,Dance Of Death is absolutely terrible in my opinion.Now I know you hate the Blaze era and so do I!!! But lets go 2 albums before tha...1990 "No Prayer For The Dying" and 1992 "Fear Of The Dark"...both those albums are extreamly "poor" song writting and theres only like 2 songs from each album that are worthy,the rest of those 2 albums are throw-away material to the max man,they are fucking garbage. I'm not saying you have to like Saxon better than Maiden,I'm just sticking up for Saxon because they have blown Iron Maiden out of the freaking water with Saxon's last 7 studio albums,they tower over Iron Maiden.

The pickups are stock Peavey, but are listed as a high output. They have a very smooth and creamy tone like an old PAF. My pickups of choice are Duncan Distortions, good full frequency and high output without being over the top. I have also used Dimarzio Tone Zones and the Fred model, but only becaue they were cheaper than the Duncans and I was changing out 4 pickups at once in 2 guitars.But I haven`t ever used the Screamin Demon, not that I don`t want to, just haven`t.
I just couldn`t come to terms with the EMG`s in the Jackson, not bright enough. They had such a high signal strength and absolutely no noise at all, just to dark for what I wanted.
that top is a Flamed maple with a translucent Amber top, just like EVH used for years. This is sort of my tribute to him in a round about way. The neck is unfinished spalted maple, and a smaller radius than the Jackson, but sweet none the less.

That is a Beautiful Top. What kinda Pickups.
Guitardude what kinda pickups do you use? do you use the screaming demon? i have, i like them.
But i want some wide open screamers for a different axe. Any suggestions?

Yea, the truss rod adjustment is like a large thumb wheel, but it has holes for this small rod you insert to turn it. This thing plays so sweet, so far I can`t seem to put it down. (Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Sunday, January 24, 2010 7:41:05 PM)

The top on that thing is gorgeous !!! I love how they did the truss rod on that one, no need to play with covers or take the neck off to adjust it...
I hope this one gets the tone you are after, I know you had a lot of issues with the Jackson. The guy I sold my KV2 to is also having the same dilema, but he would have to dremel the routes out for the pickups he wants in it..

On another note here, I present to you my new axe.
I suppose it's better value in the winter if you like rugby and league, plus the world cup this year too. Not really worth Paying the fees to watch the fucking Blackcaps, what a bunch of losers. Hate seeing them holding NZC for ransom with threats to go to the Indian Premier League if the don't get pay hikes etc. Especially pricks like McCullum and Oram. Dan Vetorri is the only one with any guts in the whole team. Ridiculous that a guy batting at 8 has scored more runs for the country than anyone else in the last 5 years.

My classic heavy metal album of the day is The Skull - Trouble ( 1985 ).
This album is ace, doesn't sound dated at all like some 80's metal. Doomy but fast enough not to be boring. Would have posted a vid but they've been disabled. Bastards. Cool album though. Highly recommended.
I didn't say push. I meant pick him up and throw him in, 1 2 3 in you go you bastard. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Little Indian Angel from Tuesday, January 26, 2010 3:45:18 AM)

Not on regular tv but Sky TV has all the American sports on live. Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Baseball etc. It's on at lunch time though for the most part so most people are at work. But it's still cool that we can get it. I'd follow your sports more but I'm hardly ever home at that time.
Hard to say what Rafa should do. It's not a good look, maybe if talked to some of the other players they might have some tips for him. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, January 26, 2010 3:23:25 AM)

I also had a free to air box. Interesting but I found it easier to crack a regular sat service. This match is live on regular TV, though. You probably see all the hockey games they play in my backyard and I cannot get. Go figure.

I haven't heard Heart Of A Lion yet, still on disc 1. Nailed To The Gun is a cool song, Fights War Of Words was a great album apart from the corny For All Eternity, that song blew.
It sounds fucking ace, better than the studio cd. And blows ATOE Live out of the water. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Sunday, January 24, 2010 9:33:43 PM)

Joe Perry: Still Being A Douche
According to The Pulse of Radio, AEROSMITH plans to begin auditioning new singers next month, with guitarist Joe Perry telling Canada's QMI Agency that the band is "already getting the word out there." He added that they will "start having some auditions, making some phone calls. Hopefully, we'll have found a new singer by the summer, and AEROSMITH will be able to go back out on the road." The group aims to replace original frontman Steven Tyler, who announced last fall that he was taking two years off to pursue a solo project before later checking himself into rehab for an addiction to painkillers.
Although Tyler stated that he planned to be "writing, recording and performing with AEROSMITH" once his stint in rehab was completed, Perry said that the rest of the group is not sure what Tyler's status is: "It's kind of hard to get a straight answer about what's going on. He has to have leg surgery and foot surgery and it's basically going to take him out of the picture for about a year, year and a half. So, in the meantime, the rest of the band wants to play."
Perry pointed out that the band hired fill-ins for bassist Tom Hamilton and guitarist Brad Whitford last year when both were ill, saying, "That's basically how I look at it; we need another singer to fill in."
Perry has said in other interviews that AEROSMITH might lean toward hiring an established "name" vocalist to tour with the group, and there were a few people they already had in mind.
But he also told QMI that the door is open for Tyler to return: "I'm ready to write with him, to play on stage with him anytime he's physically ready and wants to do it. But it's really up to him . . . the last things he said to the press were that he wanted to work with the band and sing with the band, so we'll see."
Meanwhile, Palm Springs, California newspaper the Desert Sun reported that Tyler made a surprise appearance at a local bar called the Tilted Kilt on Tuesday night (January 19), not far from the Betty Ford Center where he is in rehab. Tyler, accompanied by a publicist and management rep, reportedly sang the AEROSMITH hit "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" during a karaoke competition. One witness claimed that he only drank Shirley Temples and left after singing.
Weren't you a heavy drinker back in the day? That could be the reason. William Sadler was awesome as Death the in the Bogus Journey though. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Friday, January 22, 2010 10:44:44 AM)

I'm not being vehemently negative or bitching. All I did was state my opinion on the nomination. My comments on Touch Of Evil Live were in response to Vails comment about the grammy being performance oriented rather than song oriented as such. If Priest are being nominated for performance now, why not 25 years ago when the performances were outstanding. Age has caught up with the band and that is normal hence the reason I said that some kind of achievement award for their career would be more fitting.

Well by just about all accounts I have read, the recent British Steel tour was the best Priest have been since the 'reunion' tour. I have never had the pleasure of seeing them live so can't comment on a personal level. I can however comment on Touch Of Evil Live, which I think isn't too bad. Bar Painkiller, the rest isn't bad and I enjoy listening to it when the mood strikes me - I do agree it's not the best live album ever, hell if they have a live SFV tour recording somewhere I'd be in heaven lol. But I also think that, if you don't like it, there's no need to be so vehemently negative about it. Same goes for anything, if you don't like something, fine, but constant bitching goes nowhere.
jimmyjames wrote:
Touch of Evil Live is shit. One of the worst live albums ever. Funny how theres no live album for British Steel tour, SFV tour, DOTF tour or Painkiller tour yet Priest decide to release live albums from the tours of their most abysmal and divisive albums, Turbo and Nostradamus. I would say that Priest is playing with less prowess live nowadays than they ever have in the past, Halford overweight and limping around the stage or hunched over the teleprompter, It's ridiculous that they get nominated on those grounds now, especially for a song that was written in 1977. That makes the nomination even more worthless to me. I think some kind of longevity or life time achievement award would be more fitting for Priest. At least thats recognition of a career and takes in all of their body of work rather than a second rate rendition of a 33 year old song.

The nomination is for the recorded version of Dissident Aggressor from the A Touch of Evil Live album, which is a tad younger than the Death Magnetic album (correct me if I'm wrong), not the original.

WHAT?!? You read too quickly. Not bands from Europe rather TRENDY bands. Yeah, Ace of Base! LOL
I saw the sign.....(and yes, I have heard of Roxette, junior).

For me it was AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Priest, Motorhead, Sabbath etc. I can't think of any bands that would fit into that definition of Eurotrash except maybe Roxette. Have you heard of them, the y sing that shocking song "The Look".

I still hope Priest get here one day, I'll be forking out for the best tickets possible.

I guess Priest don't come here because there's not enough interest in their music. It's mainly bands who are really big or bands that are more underground that come here. The only way Priest could get a gig here would be as part of a festival. They toured Australia last year and were going to do a show here but they cancelled it. due to poor ticket sales I suppose. Either that or the logistics of packing everything up and flying over for a one off show were to much. For the record I did buy a ticket, but it was not to be.

About rap and metal, you missed the point. I grew up with it just as you did with Eurotrash. It is a meld that few will understand. Ever wonder why Priest doesn't go to kiwi land but plays three concerts in Detroit?

I still hope Priest get here one day, I'll be forking out for the best tickets possible.

I guess Priest don't come here because there's not enough interest in their music. It's mainly bands who are really big or bands that are more underground that come here. The only way Priest could get a gig here would be as part of a festival. They toured Australia last year and were going to do a show here but they cancelled it. due to poor ticket sales I suppose. Either that or the logistics of packing everything up and flying over for a one off show were to much. For the record I did buy a ticket, but it was not to be.

About rap and metal, you missed the point. I grew up with it just as you did with Eurotrash. It is a meld that few will understand. Ever wonder why Priest doesn't go to kiwi land but plays three concerts in Detroit?

What does motown have to do with rap? I thought motown was Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. Don't tell me you're listening to that as well? You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

No not really, most of the musical influences come from outside. The metal scene here is pretty healthy considering the size of the country population wise ( 4 million ). We have no decent metal bands of note that are doing much locally or internationally. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 2:30:25 PM)

No harm taken.....do you have a national music, though? Spain = flamenco, for example.
I am really curious. I knew a few people from NZ who were great but didn't have a single Metal band to mention to me. Thus, my only reference. Any national favs or Metal nationals would be most appreciated. I mean, you'd have to go to Portugal to understand fado music. It is beautiful.

Depends on the site (they played various) but it was either a three or four song set. All freely available on the internet if you know where to look. I have:

A few years ago MCR shared the bill with Tool at the Big Day Out ( festival ). I did not attend but I watched a show on C4 ( music channel ) about the day. One of the interviewers was asking fans what they thought of the bands. This ugly little emo chick goes "We came here to see MCR and some bogan ( metal fan ) pushed me over and said fuck off emo" I cracked up. Wish it was me that did that. MCRs fans are worse than MCR.

Can't really say which was the best, enjoyed all of them for different reasons.

Def Leppard cartoon show in pipeline
The band were huge in the 1980s on both sides of the Atlantic
British metal band Def Leppard are planning a cartoon TV show in the US starring themselves.
The group has entered a deal with music publishing company Primary Wave, which is also developing Def Leppard video games and mobile phone applications.
The animation project is still in the early stages and has not been pitched to TV networks yet, according to the head of Primary Wave, Larry Mestel.
There are no recording or touring plans in the pipeline, a band spokesman said.
The band toured North America earlier this year with Poison and Cheap Trick.
Rock royalty
The group's last album, Songs From the Sparkle Lounge, debuted on the US pop chart at number five in May 2008 and in the UK chart at number 10.
It was the highest entry for the band on either chart since the 1990s.
Primary Wave will now administer Def Leppard's publishing rights although copyrights will continue to be owned the the songs' composers.
Def Leppard are best know for their albums Pyromania and Hysteria, which sold millions of copies in the 1980s.

Fuckin' A. Soul Sucka sounds like the title of a Snoop Dog cd. Epecially spelt like "sucka". Is this really the same guy who did Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman? I think the reason for Ozzy's musical degression is the fact that he's having more of a say on what goes on in the studio. Everyone knows that Randy Rhodes, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake wrote the material for the classic Ozzy albums. Ozzy was snorting coke and drinking piss and basically just came in and did the vocals. Same thing in Sabbath when he was with them. Butler and Iommi wrote the songs, Ozzy just sang what he was told to. And the fact that he's become famous outside the heavy metal world with that embarrasing show means that a whole bunch of reality tv watching losers are now "fans". So the music needs to be this disposable throwaway shit that appeals to those kind of dickheads rather than albums that would stand the test of time. I think Zakk Wyldes departure is similar to that of Jason Newsteds when he left Metallica. Fed up with the egos and the shit music. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

01. I Don't Wanna Stop (live)
02. Not Going Away (live)
03. Here For You (live)
04. Nightmare
05. Can't Save You
06. Love To Hate
"Black Rain" debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, with first-week sales of 152,000 copies.

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Brandon. I appreciate all the enthusiasm. No,there is no "other" vocalist. The vocalist on everything you heard is me. The song "Heading Out to the Highway" was recorded on an older, reel to reel system. The song "Drive Home" was done on more modern recording equipment by a different producer. The "band" that did the Priest stuff is Faithful Defenders. We are all (or were all) members of this site that got together a few years ago and recorded a CD.
My new band is not planning any tours. I am FAR too old for that (and of marginal talent at best) !!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really do appreciate your excitement and all, though. It is very nice of you. You are more than welcome to listen anytime. If you care to find out more about the Priest project we did, go over to the General Discussion section of this site and look for The DF/MM/MP Project.

Can't understand why you don't rate Another Perfect Day. As far as traditional British heavy metal goes I would say APD is the closest album they have to that.

Yeah I know Freeze,your right.But I still would rather not even see the band if I got a kick ass album.Take the Painkiller tour,they didn't come to Seattle on that tour,but I didn't care because I got a kick ass album.I would rather have a great album and not even see the band.Other people don't see it this way,as the majority of fans want to grab a six pack and hear Breaking The Law for the umteenth time,so that is just not for me. I'm not interested in seeing the band live really,I'm interested in hearing something new and kick ass from them.But if I want a band that cranks out album after album,I'll have Saxon to thrive on then lol!!!!
Deep Freeze wrote:
I see your point man but I figure Priest tours so much because they are legends and people want to see them. They have put out SO much material that a Priest song is everywhere you look. Touring keeps the band close to the fans and I would think that is why they are so into it. Of course, this is all conjecture on my part but it does make sense when you think about it.
I read something once where Glenn mentioned that the band has an abundance of material and always does, even when they finish an album. Putting out another is likely not high on their list since they have so much material available. I think he said they always have a few songs that do not make the album so they just shelve them. Things like concept albums are more important to them since it offers them a chance to do something different and does not include old or pre-written material. The fact that the record label wants new albums is clear by virtue of the "live" release.
Priest have earned the right to do it their way, when they choose. I get that. As for what they may or may not "owe" us, I figure they try to meet that obligation by touring so much.

The thing that stings me with Nostradamus is that the day they released it, of course I didn't like it,but I knew that it would be 4 fucking LONG years before we got another studio album from this band that is the slowest band at releasing studio material!!!! Fuckin A man,look at Saxon yet again,they released Lionheart in 2004,they released The Inner Sanctum in 2007 but that was only because Biff's house burned down to the ground in France,that was the ONLY reason they waited that long to release The Inner Sanctum in March 2007,but they released "Into The Labyrinth" in January 2009 so thats not even 2 years apart!!!
They will probably release ANOTHER studio album BEFORE Judas Priest releases thier next studio album.Saxon are able to do this because thier tours are much much shorter than Priests,I just wish Priest would not tour as much so that they could focus on releasing new material.I would rather have a brand new LP and miss the concert than wait 4 long years just so I could see the band.Give us more music!!!

I understand that HB. I guess what I am saying is, I understand where Max is coming from as far as what has been offered over the last few years. If one is inclined to want a "heavier" sound, the likes of which JD, 'Rider and Max have been discussing, then one could make the argument that Nostra was "selfish" or at the very least not what they were looking for in an album, yet there are an abundance of albums that offer the same songs from "glory years" that have simply been re-packaged and offered as various "Best Ofs". I get that.
Like you, I do not think it is some calculated effort on the band's part to seperate us from our money by playing on our devotion. I would be more inclined to believe that it is a marketing ploy by management or the record label. I just cannot picture Glenn sitting by the fire at his 150 year old, oak desk in the "parlor" of his estate, wearing a visor and monacle and tapping on an adding machine with stacks of gold coins in front of him as he totals up all his earnings from the hapless "sheep" that continue to purchase his re-hashed material in fancy new packages.
TOOL is another way over-rated band in my book. I tried to get into them. People were telling me how awesome they were. I listened to their stuff. It's all crap. Especially 100,000,000 Eyes or whatever it's called. What a pile of shit that cd is! People! Tool is nothing! I don't give a shit if they put on an impressive light show at their concerts. The music still sucks ass!

At the beginning they are looking at broadcasting it 10pm to midnight on Sunday nights, That would be about 4am Sunday morning for you guys. The stations got all this other crap on it like cooking shows and classical music, perry como, jazz, gardening and so on. Basically whatever people are interested in. My shows gonna give them a jolt. Hence the reason it's on late. It's the kind of radio station where people tune in at a particular time to listen to the show that interests them rather than just turning on the radio and leaving it on the same station.

Harold And Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.
Great movie, heaps of laughs. Great cameo from Neal Patrick Harris. Great scene smoking pot with George W Bush. Bottomless party. Funny movie. Highly recommened if you like stupid humour.
U2 as a whole is one of the most overrated band in existence these days - it's just Bonos pedastool to sit on to tout his save the world stuff.
I agree with you totally about Jack White, he's an emo fucktard, that doorbell song really grinds my fucking gears, it's designed to get stuck in your head and rot your brain, argh I hate it!

Probably Nick Cave and Tom Waits, neither are metal but they both have some awesome songs and cool lyrics. Got a Bob Dylan cd around somewhere as well that's not too bad. Haven't listened to it for ages though.

Agree. They reckon that wankstain from Buckcherry is in line for the vocalist spot. When I was in Canada I saw Buckcherry open for Motley Crue, they were fucking abysmal. Imagine Aerosmith doing their 40th anniversary tour with him at the mike, embarrasing. Especially after 39 and half years with Tyler at the helm. They should do what Van Halen did when Hagar left and Priest should have done when Halford left. Get Gary Charone!!! If he's not available Deep Freeze could fill in..

For the second time guys, I didn't say the album was weak. I said it had some weak tracks. Angel, Worth Fighting For and Lochness. To me those songs are lamo. Just an opinion. To me they let the rest of the album down. Have to agree with you about the "songs" on Nos as well JD, especially that fuckin song where he starts singing in Italian. Crap. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Priests last classic album.
JT wrote:AOR is not a weak album and i won't say that's opinion i would say that is fact ,If it (Angel Of Retribution) 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.
I absolutely agree with you and this post 100% JT,100%. People may not like A.O.R. but is is far from "weak". And "weak" can be traslated as "soft" sometimes and like I said to me,what my ears hear is that Defenders Of The Faith although I LOVE the album I find it "softer" than Angel Of Retribution. The Drums alone on Defenders I think are much more softer than Scotts on Retribution.And not only that,but I feel that there is more "power" on Retribution because on Defenders yes we have Freewheel Burning but again the drums on that album make these tracks much softer,but on Retribution the power and dynamics on Judas Rising and especially Demonizer and Hellrider...those 3 tracks are tons heavier than Freewheel Burning and Heavy Duty to my ears,even Wheels Of Fire and Deal With The Devil seem to have more punch than Jawbreaker and The Sentinel even though I love those songs.
But thats just all one persons opinion(mine) as I don't expect everyone to like Angel Of Retribution,but to say it is "weak" is absolutely ridiculous because if it is "weak" then what does that make Defenders? Or for that matter,what does that make British Steel,Hell Bent For Leather,Stained Class,Sin After Sin and Sad Wings Of Destiny? Are they all "weak" because they don't have a "Painkiller" sound? And to tell you the truth,I really don't believe the band are capable at this age to create another album as strong as "Painkiller". They are 60 years old,not 40 and times do change.If the band decides to make another traditional heavy metal album I think we will get an album that is in the realm of material like Angel Of Retribution,Defenders Of The Faith and Screaming For Vengeance,I really do.I think an album as strong as Painkiller is out of reach at this point,so we should be happy if they deliver us something traditional.

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.

I didn't say AOR was weak, I said the album was ok. There are some weak songs, some average songs and one outstanding song. As far as an overall rating I would give it 6/10. The reason people are disappointed with Nostradamus, I think, is because of the stupid subject matter. No-one really gives a toss about Nostradamus. Except maybe the kind of geeks that read Dan Brown books. Painkiller is a classic all time heavy metal album, so are British Steel, and SFV. Unfortunately AOR is not.

Chains is shit, one of the worst songs Priest have done. Take these chains off, off of my heart sounds like the kind of crap Michael Bolton would be singing. Why is Angel any better than Every Rose Has It's Thorn? If anything it's worse because you expect cheesy shit from Poison. I meant the atmosphere of DOTF and BS, both albums have a dark, edgy kind of feel ( with the exception of the shocking Living After Midnight ) whereas SFV is more upbeat and has a more radio friendly sound.

If "Worth Fighting For" is "shit" then "Take These Chains" from Screaming For Vengeance and "Desert Plains" from Point Of Entry must be "shit" in your opinion then because Worth Fighting For absolutely "REEKS" of these 2 songs put together. And as far as "Angel" goes...its no different than "Before The Dawn" or "Night Comes Down",I'm not a fan of these ballads but to put them with Poison's Every Rose Has Its Thorn is sure to get a rise out of just about anybody,good one jimmy! lol!! And I can't for the life of me hear anything in Defenders that sounds anything like British Steel part 2?? What? Lochness is totally "lame" but to me Angel Of Retribution still tops Defenders Of The Faith in my book but still cool to read other's opinions.

Same with Angel, piss weak with lyrical themes that have appeared before in Priest songs, just illustrates a lack of ideas. Angel is the obligatory ballad on the album, Poison have Every Rose Has It's Thorn, Priest have Angel. Lochness is just ridiculous, maybe they could write a song about a sasquatch on their next album. The rest of the album is ok but not spectacular. Painkiller is insane, every song a cracker, no filler, no cheese, no ballads, better than BS, SFV and DOTF. Only one that comes close to it would be Stained Class as far as being an uncompromising masterpiece.

Take Back The Horns!
Motivated by what he calls the "systematic abuse" of the metal horns, heavy metal icon and frontman for the legendary band TWISTED SISTER, Dee Snider has launched a web site dedicated to the reclamation of our iconic heavy metal symbol, TakeBackTheHorns.com.
"The rampant misuse and overuse of the metal horns is an insult to true fans of the music form it represents," says Dee, "They were never intended to be thrown by members of the hip hop, country and pop communities. We fought long and hard for the music we love to be recognized. They have no right to use our sign!" ??
While absolutely recognizing the humor in the situation, TakeBackTheHorns.com is dedicated to not only raise awareness of this abuse, but the site has been designed to inform and educate the reader on the history and proper use of the metal horns. Dee Snider hopes it will unify the massive, heavy metal community in the fight to stop the metal horns' further exploitation and degradation. Says Dee, "I appreciate the appeal of throwing the horns and even acknowledge that its overuse shows just how far the acceptance of heavy metal has come as a music form. But when little Johnny throws the horns to his mom because he's successfully made a number two, things have gone way too far."
TakeBackTheHorns.com also contains a section for visitors to post photos of abusers of the horns and an interactive "Metal or Not" rating system to help define and decide the proper usage of the iconic symbol. ??
Dee goes on to say, "In the '80s, I went to Washington, D.C. to defend heavy metal and fight censorship. Now it's time for me to defend the music I love again and fight a very different enemy. I need headbangers the world over to join me in this important fight. Let's say to the purveyors of other music forms, the usurpers of our mark...get your own damn sign bee-otch! Let's take back the horns...dot com!"

Back in the day when Metallica were good and releasing classic album after classic album they refused to do vids as they deemed it to be selling out. Nowadays when they're releasing a bunch of shit every half decade they are flogging it for all it's worth. It's sickening. Still can't get over the fact that they had fucking Lou Reed on stage with them at the RnR hall of fame thing. Wankers. Trujillo should get back together with Mike Muir and Rocky George and stop hanging round with those hypocrites.

Saw Slayer live a month ago and they were awesome. Definately still a force to be reckoned with live. Have listened to WPB a couple of times, it's ok but I don't think it's amazing or anything. Gonna give it a few more listens before I really decide what I think of it.
The thing that people miss about Turbo is as much as it was a commerical flop, it does what it says on the tin, it is commercial, catchy and even fun man that's what British Steel was when it came to light however this was 7 years afterwards. I enjoy turbo, it's not exactly a heavy metal album and i know that it's more rock pop i guess but that's where the appeal lies. Everyone has a place in their heart for songs such as 'The Final Countdown' and 'Don't stop me now' by Queen etc why should 'Parental Guidance' be any different. 'Locked In' is one of the most uplifting tracks that Halford and the boys have ever come up with in my opinion and Out in the Cold is damn right awesome. When i hear Locked in it i get a feeling that i don't often get from Priest and it's just a sheer sense of happiness and excitement. Obviously all of their albums induce something within me whether it be aggression or anger etc and they put me in head banging mode but Turbo is different (except for the Private Property intro). It induces a totally different feeling but one that i still like. I think if it had been by a different band (one of the mainstream) then people would have loved it but beacuase it was by the studded metal rockers, people hate it. I think if bands can go outside their box and create something better than another band could have done of their own genre, then hell they deserve a pat on the back. Turbo is one of the best pop rock albums i've ever heard it may have failed at being a metal album but it succeeded on a whole new level. I can't leave without mentioning Reckless as i think it is trully the major stand out song of the album and something that could have easily went on Screaming For Vengeance, the guitar solo, the heavy riff and the vocals are just genius. As for POE well i think it failed as a metal album and didn't really succeed on many other levels although there are some great old British Steel standouts on there!
As for Halford stuff i believe that one day we will get another Halford metal album, after all if what you said is true J.D, Christmas 2010 aint for another year yet and Prest aint gonna be touring for a while. I believe Halford will do something more cause the music he has produced so far in that band has been outstanding and that is what the metal world is crying out for right now, Halford just needs to hear those cries =)

Starbreaker's tricky because Simon Phillips played the drums on Sin after Sin and he's one of the worlds top rock drummers. If you want to find some easy Priest songs to drum to listen to British Steel, Point Of Entry, SFV, Defenders, and Turbo. Basically anything Dave Holland drummed on, it's all basic stuff.

Halfords screams at the end of Desert Plains are awesome. It was that kind of stuff that made him the best vocalist in metal. C'mon Priest, bring out a SFV live cd. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ron h from Friday, November 06, 2009 6:32:21 PM)
Yeah it's strange. And then they put out a patchy effort like Touch Of Evil Live. Most fans agree that the Vengeance and Painkiller eras were Priests best. Can't understand why they wouldn't want to recognize those times with live albums. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by ron h from Friday, November 06, 2009 6:32:21 PM)
Haven't seen that for ages, used to own that concert on video tape. Don't know why Priest never released that concert as a live album. Halfords voice was awesome back then. They should also put out a live album from the 91 Painkiller tour.

Zakk Wylde Interview
Joe Bosso of MusicRadar.com recently conducted an interview with Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY). An excerpt from the chat follows below.
MusicRadar.com: Of course, the other major thing that's happened in the last year has been your split with Ozzy...
Zakk: "Well, I'll tell you how it went down. This is how it went down. Oz and mom (Sharon Osbourne), they said, 'Zakk, son, we need to talk to you.' They sat me down at the kitchen table and said, 'Zakk, we're very proud of you, but you're 42 years old now. We just think it's about time you take your wife and your kids and you get the fuck outta your bedroom and grow the fuck up and get a job — because me and your mother want to enjoy our life now. I think we've done enough. You're 42, now get the fuck out of the house!'"
MusicRadar.com: And make something of yourself.
Zakk: "Yes! So that's where we're at right now. [laughs] That's what happened. As rough as it was for me, I had to accept it." [laughs]
MusicRadar.com: Now, I know Ozzy is like family to you, but when it all did happen - I know you were kind of kidding — it seemed to take people surprise...
Zakk: "Well, I found out from Neil Zlozower, 'cause he was doing a photo shoot with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. He calls up and goes, 'Hey dude, I hear you're not playing with Ozzy anymore.' I go, 'Where'd you hear this?" And he's like, 'I heard it from Gene and Paul.' So I go, 'Well, I guess I'm not playing with Ozzy!'" [laughs]
MusicRadar.com: But was it a shock?
Zakk: "It's always been this way: 'We're going out on the road.' It's like, 'When?' 'Tomorrow.' 'What?!'
"I'm the last person to find out anything, you know? 'Wait a minute…I have three kids?' [laughs] 'Yeah, they're 17, 16 and 7, man, so we need some college money now.'
"But I've been with Oz since I was 19; I'm fucking 42 years old. It's just like…like with my dad passing away, same with my mom…I don't go, 'Oh, this sucks.' I never ask; I always thank.
"At least I got to spend 23 years with the boss. And he knows I'll always be there with him. Gus [G., of FIREWIND], who's playing with [Ozzy now], he's fucking awesome. So I hope he has a millisecond of the good time I had — that's a fucking lifetime. Gus will have a fucking blast, you know what I mean?"

Ozzy, Ray Davies & Lou Reed perform with Metallica
Ozzy Osbourne (BLACK SABBATH), Ray Davies (THE KINKS) and Lou Reed joined METALLICA on stage earlier tonight (Friday, October 30) at Madison Square Garden in New York City for their performance at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert.
METALLICA's setlist was as follows:
01. For Whom The Bell Tolls
02. One
03. Turn The Page
04. Sweet Jane (w/ Lou Reed)
05. White Light White Heat (w/ Lou Reed)
06. Iron Man (w/ Ozzy Osbourne)
07. Paranoid (w/ Ozzy Osbourne)
08. You Really Got Me (w/ Ray Davies)
09. All Day And All Of The Night (w/ Ray Davies)
10. Stone Cold Crazy
11. Enter Sandman
In his review of the concert, John Soeder of The Plain Dealer writes, "METALLICA was on hand to represent the harder side of rock. The headbanging portion of the evening commenced with 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'.
"In addition to a sampling of their own fist-pumping anthems, singer-guitarist James Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett, bassist Robert Trujillo and drummer Lars Ulrich took a stab at BOB SEGER's 'Turn the Page' before summoning an impressive supporting cast.
"'Go (expletive) crazy!' Ozzy Osbourne instructed as METALLICA accompanied him on 'Iron Man' and 'Paranoid'.
"The inspired pairings continued as METALLICA tore through 'Sweet Jane' with Lou Reed and 'You Really Got Me' with Ray Davies."
Check out photos of METALLICA's performance from The Plain Dealer.
METALLICA was inducted into the Hall of Fame this past April.
Tonight's show also featured U2, BECK, BUDDY GUY, ARETHA FRANKLIN, ANNIE LENNOX, LENNY KRAVITZ and JERRY LEE LEWIS.
Highlights of both nights' Madison Square Garden concerts will be part of a four-hour broadcast next month on HBO.
Well if James Hetfield decided to bring out an album of heavy metal christmas carols, I know for a fact that the knives would be out on this site. Because it's Rob Halford it's an artist expressing himself. I mean come on, We Three Kings? Metallica have been smashed and bashed on this site by many members, including myself, for some of the rubbish they've brought out in the last 20 years and deservedly so, they've turned into assholes and their albums are borderline ridiculous in some cases ( St. Anger ). But they've never stooped to this. If they made a christmas cd everybody would be saying that they'd sold out, lost the plot, disappeared up their own asses etc. Some of the hero worship that goes on on this site is really irritating. Priest geeks who are in no way objective to the stuff the band is bringing out. Rob Halford could probably record himself after a serious bout of food poisoning and release a cd of it and there would be members of this site who would rave about it. To me the Winter Songs album is an embarrassment, and the second sub standard product Halford has been associated with this year. The first being the shockingly bad Touch Of Evil Live. Again if it was James Hetfield "trying something different" people would be saying he'd lost his mind. Why not Rob Halford?
By the way Joe wasn't talking about you when i mentioned Priest geeks. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:29:02 PM)

Senile old fool? Since when is a musician doing what he wants to musically being senile, foolish, or in any stupid?
Its called having variety and trying something different. You try writing the same style of songs for years and see if you don't want something different.
Have you even listened to the first two songs? There pretty fucking heavy. The only difference is its Christmas themed lyrically.
There's also a free new song from Winter Songs on Rob's music site. Its called Christmas for Everyone. Its definitly not metal, a christmas song with a rock edge.
ROB HALFORD Is Thinking About Recording Another Holiday Album Next Year - Oct. 22, 2009
Robert Gray of Ultimate-Guitar.com recently conducted an interview with JUDAS PRIESTsingerRob Halford. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: What prompted you to record a Christmas album in "Halford III: Winter Songs"?
Halford: Well, I'd never done it before, so that was the main reason. Where I am in my metal life, I just look for things that interest me, and try to find music that I haven't explored previously — "Winter Songs" was a chance to do that. It's that time of the year as well, being a Brit, even though this record is for everybody around the world, and for all different faiths and everything. We all like that time around December; it means a lot to a lot of people, and it certainly means a lot to me. I was able to find time to record "Winter Songs", and there you go. The album's all ready, and about to launch.
Have you heard the first two tracks, Robert?
Ultimate-Guitar.com: "Get Into the Spirit" and "We Three Kings", yeah.
Halford: "Winter Songs" is a little bit more than that, but with the first couple of tracks, I just wanted to send out a signal to metalheads that it is a record for metal fans more than anything in the world. The album goes off into some really cool, different places musically, and is a really interesting record to listen to.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Was "Winter Songs" in the works for quite some time?
Halford: No, not really. In "Winter Songs"' liner notes, it says that the album was put together over 2008 and 2009, but that doesn't mean it was a two-year project. The record was just bits and pieces like a jigsaw puzzle coming together. I've been out on the road with PRIEST for almost the last two years, so it was a case of finding time for me to record my vocals. Also, the rest of the guys in the HALFORD band had to find time in their busy schedules as well, and more importantly, we just had to find the right material. I wasn't going to record "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (laughs) — that's already been done to death. I just wanted to find songs that were not overly popular, songs that could take the right kind of treatment in the arrangements. Trying to get the right things together was just a long process, but in the end, "Winter Songs" is seven songs that have been rearranged and produced by Roy Z and myself, and then three original tracks that we've put together. I've been listening to "Winter Songs" off and on since it was finished about a month ago, and I try to listen to it with an open mind, even though it's a music project that I'm close to. I think "Winter Songs" is great, a really, really nice record — if nice is the right word. The album is just for the experience of this time of year, and is like everything you do. When people hear the music, they'll make their decision on whether they're going to like it or not, but I feel good about it. I feel really good about it.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Do you feel that people can listen to "Winter Songs" all year round then? Although the two songs I heard, "Get Into the Spirit" and "We Three Kings", are Christmas songs, you can listen to them whenever really, and they still sound really good.
Halford: Yeah. That's a cool... Yeah, why not? Some of "Winter Songs"' tracks specifically use the Christmas time reference, but there are others that don't have that. On its musical merits, there are some songs that you could enjoy at any time you wanted to enjoy them. Having said that, my specific intention was to make a record that you could enjoy at that time of the year, and enjoy year after year. That comes from my background, when you think about it. I don't write music that's disposable, or has a short shelf life so to speak. I write music that you can enjoy, and take with you wherever you go, depending on whatever mood you're in. Having said that, "Winter Songs" is a holiday release.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Is there a reason why you opted to cover lesser known tracks, as opposed to opting to cover more obvious tracks? Like, I don't know, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" or "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and all those type of well-known Christmas songs?
Halford: Yeah. Those songs are fun, and they're lightweight. They create a certain kind of emotion, but I wanted "Winter Songs" to just be a little bit deeper. There's a couple of cool tracks on the album, like "When Christmas Comes for Everyone". I was totally thinking of the U.K. time. There's a very exclusive British vibe that you get around Christmas, because that's what I am. I'm a Brit, and I carry that in my blood. To me, that song is a very British feeling, sounding track. Another one, called "I Don't Care If It's Christmas Night", was kind of inspired by the Chuck Berry type of experience, and the way that Chuck has written his music over the years. I just went into that frame of mind. That song tells the story of how you're struggling to get home in time to be with the family at Christmas, and you can't cos the weather's fucking shit. You get stuck in traffic, and all that kind of thing. I think that's another dilemma we all have - last minute Christmas shopping (laughs). It drives you mental. But how can I put that into a song? That's the message of that track, but some of the other material is quite big; big guitars, big drums, and big choral voices. All the other material has some very, very strong moments musically.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Were there any songs recorded for "Winter Songs", but left off the final track listing?
Halford: No. In fact, we were listening to the nine completed tracks, and I said to Roy, "We need another track. I don't like this number nine. It just feels wonky to me. I think we need another track". Roy agreed, so I picked up a guitar, and went into the studio. Half an hour later, I came up with this song which turned out to be quite strong, actually. It's called "Light of the World". We then had our ten tracks, so there was nothing left over. It was all used up. I had such a great time, and so much fun recording "Winter Songs". There was no stress, and no pressure. I had such a really cool time recording the album that I'm already thinking of maybe recording another one next year. "Volume 2". If you search, there's a lot of material out there.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: What do you feel the future holds for the HALFORD band?
Halford: PRIEST will always be the band that leads me in my life, but I still have that streak of creativity that I need to find an outlet for. That's what the HALFORD band provides me with. I don't think PRIEST could've done this Christmas'y kind of record — it wouldn't have been right, because that isn't what PRIEST is about. My solo activities allow me to do that, and anything else that I might choose to do in the future. It has to be useful, Robert. I can't just go banging out songs that I can do with PRIEST — what's the point? I need to be able to find music and songs that need a solo touch to them. I still want to explore those possibilities. The great thing about music is you can get up any day of the week, and you can find a brand new way of expressing yourself as a musician. It's a never-ending journey in that respect, when you think about it. It's just as exciting for me now in PRIEST as it was when I first started in metal, and it's just as exciting for me now with the solo ideas that I've got swirling around me. I haven't lost that passion. I'm fifty-eight, but I still have that streak of creativity in me, and determination, to keep working into the metal future.

Both of you have Dave Holland in your lists,but Holland wasn't even in the top 100 drummers let alone the top 10!!! LMAO!!!
Your lack of faith is well placed JD. I've just heard on the grapevine that the new Priest cd is set to be another double concept album. Based on the life of Saint Nicholas, it begins with Nick as a boy, unable to understand this strange yearning he has to be close to reindeers. Confused, he begins a life of crime breaking into peoples houses by climbing down the chimney. After being caught by the police he ends up in prison where he spends a lot of time "sitting on the laps" of fellow prisoners, which he actually quite enjoys. It's while he is in jail that he has an epiphany and realises the error of his ways. After being released on a good behavior bond he sets about making changes by combining all of the things he loves into a vocation that will not only bring him fame but the adoration of millions of children around the world. He puts together a stable of lithe, atheletic reindeer and teaches them to fly. He takes night classes on how to make toys and has contracts drawn up with department stores all around the world allowing him to come in for one month a year and let young children wriggle around on his lap. He gets away with this by simply pointing out how much money they could make. Cynically they agree to his perverted ways using the logic, well he's going to do it anyway, we might as well make some money out of it. So on December 24 each year he loads up his sleigh with toys, harnesses up his reindeer and sets of on a 24 hour breaking and entering spree the likes of which have never been seen before. However rather than taking things, he leaves things behind. Thus spreading joy and goodwill to all men. Said Priest lead singer Rob Halford on the album. " The story of Father Christmas has long been one that has fascinated us as a band and it was only a matter of time before we were able to tell his story in a way that we felt would do it justice and do justice to metal fans around the world. It is a really exciting time for us and with the songs nearing completion we are looking at being in the studio in the new year, with a release date pencilled in for christmas 2010".

Relax, was joking about the christmas albums from Slayer and Megadeth. Can't believe you don't like South Of Heaven actually. I reckon it's a great album, Seasons In The Abyss is awesome too I think. You summed up Get In The Spirit perfectly, what a load of bullshit. Take some average metal by numbers tune that you're too lazy to write lyrics for and then put the words to some stupid christmas carol over the top, and there you have it. Winter Songs.

And sometimes i wish people (not particularly singling you out J.D) would have an open mind. Ok you have your opinion on what real metal should be about etc but music is evolving even if you don't like the topic the music itself should be enough for you to enjoy, Halford has released some heavy ass material here so i don't get why people are complaining?

Went to see Slayer and Megadeth last week in Auckland, great show. Both bands put in a top notch performance although I have to say Slayer were just awesome. Interestingly both bands are also bringing out christmas albums. Megadeths is called Mega Christmas and a Happy New Year and contains rocking versions of Away In A Manger and Good King Wenceslas. Slayers album is called ... On A One Horse Open Slayer and contains a blistering version of Jingle Bells and an insane take on The Little Drummer Boy on which Lombardo dominates proceedings with a drum solo.

Correct JD, i wasn't bashing Halford as a guy, i was just saying that i think the album was a dumb idea and a sellout. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, October 08, 2009 4:41:38 AM)

What? You really think that Angel Of Retribution was not that good? WTF? LOL! Oh my god Painkiller is a good album man but it doesn't wipe the floor up with it,no way.
And you only mention Judas Rising and Demonizer? You don't even mention "Hellrider" which has to be in the top 5 best songs from Judas Priest of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
frustrated with Rob's decision with Winter Songs. It is what it is...I just hope that the nest Priest record doesn't get infected by this!!!! (Quoting Message by Skybreaker from Wednesday, October 07, 2009 8:45:42 PM)

I do agree with everything else you have said here. I "hate it" when they try and "push metal into unfamiliar territories". Why can't they just push traditional metal.

Judas Priest has to be one of the most unpredictable heavy metal bands of all time. Thats good up to a certian point until they go too far with something like Nostradamus and Christmas songs. In my opinon they have released some very disapointing cd's. They are not very consistant and you have to waite forever between cd's. At one time I considered Priest the greatest metal band of all time but I'm not convinced of that any more. Painkiller was the last great Priest CD. Can they do it again with this next cd and regain their status as the best of all time or continue on with this pushing metal forward business and release another disapointing cd.

I think that we have been to far away from Angel Of Retribution where they were in a mode of traditional pure heavy metal music and Rob was in the mood of "The Scream Of The Demon,Theres Evil About!!!!!!"
If Judas Priest releases an album with these christmas songs influenced in them or with Nostradamus still in the style than I would start to wave the white flag myself.

When members on the board have some kind of problem and use it as an excuse to launch attacks on other members on the board and then a whole bunch of others jump in with the whole "we're all friends here" trying to calm things down. Then the person who started it apologizes and uses the whole " i got a lot of shit going on in my personal life" excuse and everybody forgives them and says "we're here for you" etc. That shit cracks me up. It's like the kind of dramas drunk people pull at parties to get attention. Funny.

The Judas Priest frontman is about to get festive on our asses. It couldn’t be any more ludicrous than Twisted Sister’s efforts, could it?
Metal God and Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford has confirmed that he will be releasing his first solo outing in over seven years this yuletide and it will feature reworkings of ‘Come All Ye Faithful’ and ‘Oh Holy Night’. He can’t top Cartman’s rendition of the latter, surely?
The album will be titled ‘Halford III – Winter Songs’ and will also include original tracks ‘Get Into The Spirit’, ‘When Christmas Comes For Everyone’, ‘Light Of The World’.
‘Halford III – Winter Songs’ sees release on October 26.
Have to disagree with you about Another Perfect Day, personally I think it's one of Motorheads better and more consistant albums. Loads of great songs on it, Back At The Funny Farm, Shine, One Track Mind, I Got Mine, Dancing On your Grave, Another Perfect Day, Rock It.... all awesome songs, it's fuckin ace. Your right about March Or Die though, it's not that good, but song March Or Die itself is cool. I reckon Somewhere In Time is a wicked album and so is Seventh Son, but yeah, No Prayer and Fear Of The Dark are a bit lamo. Won't even mention the Blaze Bayley albums but I thought Dance Of Death and Brave New World were solid. I think A Matter Of Life And Death is a long boring album, don't rate that one at all, for me it's their worst. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Motorhead is way better tahn Iron Maiden in "song writting consistancy". Iron Maiden couldn't write 2 back to back "good" albums if they tried thier hardest!
I like the first 5 Iron Maiden albums up to Powerslave and then the next album that is worthy enough is the last album 2006 "A Matter Of Life And Death" wich
was nowhere near as good as Powerslave or anything before Powerslave,but it is the next Maiden album after Powerslave that is a decent album................
Iron Maiden has 14 studio albums and they only have 5 albums that are classic masterpeices...only "5"...and thats thier first 5 albums....................................
They have 2 other albums that are "ok" but not great and those are ......"Brave New World".....and "A Matter Of Life And Death"......................................................
And 7 albums that are terrible......Somewhere In Time,Seventh Son,No Prayer For The Dying,Fear Of The Dark,The X Factor,Virtual Eleven,and Dance Of Death.
Thats 7 albums out of 14...half of Iron Maiden's discography "sucks".
Motorhead has 19 studio albums and they only have "2" albums that suck.....1983"Another Perfect Day" ..... 1992"March Or Die"..
Then they have one album that is "ok" but nothing great and that is 1995 "Sacrifice"......
But the other 16 albums by Motorhead are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Motorhead is WAY BETTER than Iron Maiden in my opinion...

Motorhead has every right to be in this thread. Shit....even Def Leppard's High And Dry could fit in this thread and would not be an insult as much as "Winger".
This album is a great Motorhead album.12 songs on this disc and there are only 3 tracks I don't care for...but the other 9 songs are classic Motorhead.
Tracks like the opener "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees"....."Burner"......."I Am The Sword"....."Born To Raise Hell"......awsome album.

His beef was not with the british government, as much as he wanted his people to have a more active say in what goes on in their own country. The paliament there is still secondary to the main Parliament. I see where he did nothing wrong. He loves his country and he also loves britain, he just wanted his country to be more autonamous.

In the Internet news here it said that music stores are being swamped by people buying MJ cds.

Michael Jackson died so we better go out and buy some of his music so that when we're talking about his death we can say how talented he was and how we are fans.
Yeah thought about that but I do like Sad But True and Enter Sandman, whether we like it or not, is a Metallica staple. Metallica brought out a box set years ago called Binge and Purge, contained 3 cds and 3 video tapes. One of the Video tapes was of a concert on the Justice tour, just an awesome show. Setlist is.....
1) Blackened
2) For Whom The Bell Tolls
3) Sanitarium
4) The Thing That Should Not Be
5) Bass Solo
6) Master Of Puppets
7) Fade To Black
8) Seek And Destroy
9) And Justice For All
10) One
11) Creeping Death
12) Guitar Solo
13) Battery
14) Last Caress
15) Am I Evil
16) Whiplash
17) Breadfan
Would have been one of the great metal tours when Metallica toured Justice. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Friday, June 26, 2009 5:14:47 PM)

This band is ok but I don't think they're as great as everyone in the music press makes out. Josh Homme is made out to be some kind of musical genius and is always doing guest appearances on other bands albums but I think he's totally over-rated. The stuff he did with Kyuss was awesome but i don't think hes done all that much of note since then.

I even liked Ringo--he made me laugh--he was in a movie back in the 80's with I believe John Matusak from the Oakland Raiders but I can't for the life of me think of the name--
So I can't pick a worse Beatle--they all had their moments

My pick for worst member of the Beatles is Paul McCartney. All the songs Paul sang were wimpy and shit, his whinging in the press that his contribution to the band has been overlooked after the death of John Lennon and his shambolic marraige to Hopalong Mills all combine to make to make him the worst Beatle. Oh yeah, and Wings sucked as well and that stupid Ebony and Ivory song he did with Stevie Wonder. His song The Girl Is Mine he did with the late, weird Michael Jackson also sucked. Paul sucks, worst Beatle by a long shot.

Don't get me wrong, he's the best singer in metal and that performance of DTG was ace, that grunge look was too much though, maybe that whole period was Halfords mid-life crisis period.
Have you seen when he went all grunge with Fight. Checkered shirts with the sleeves cut off, long baggy shorts, sneakers and a backwards cap, at the age of about 42, fuck it was funny. Remember him singing a duet of Delivering The Goods with Seb Bach and Skid Row dressed like that. I thought what's he doing?
Bet ya a whole bunch of new jokes come out in about 5 minutes. My personal favourite MJ joke. What's the difference between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson ? Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, Michael Jackson fucks kids.
Got to admit when i saw Priest live in Vancouver last year and Halford came out wrapped in tin foil i cracked up. I thought I hope he's not going to wear that for the whole show.
Just put on Metallicas much maligned Load album, gonna listen to it from start to finish. Can't remember the last time i heard it right through, its been years.
Van Halen with Sammy Hagar were crap, just boring middle of the road american rock. All of their Hagar albums are shit, a couple of singles plus a whole bunch of filler. David Lee Roth is way better.

The first six Sabbath albums with Ozzy are awesome so are Blizzard of Ozz, Diary Of A Madman, No Rest For The Wicked and No More Tears. That's 10 classic albums. He hasn't done much in the last 15 years though.

Strat, thank you so much for bastardizing Memorial Day.
You obviously have the feeling that your country and many like it are always "picked on" maybe they are, but maybe we wont let your Dogma become our beliefs either. The situation is beyond this board to solve and rediculous to continue to argue really.
As for myself. I am a proud child of the U.S.A. and I do believe if we are attacked we should retaliate. It was better when Clinton did it. He just shut the fools up before they ever got to our shores. Bush was a fucktard, I'll grant you that much, but we were never wrong in going into Afganistan, the cauldron of Islamic hatred.
WE ARE the U.S.A. and we will kick your ass if you mess with our own, and if you feel "picke on" maybe you should look to your government to fix it!
Politics Piss me off and the rant's going on here on today of all days piss me off. If you had a family member die in war would you want to read this kind of shit on the day that member is sopposed to be remembered by his countrymen? Edited at: Monday, May 25, 2009 5:01:52 PM

I will not go around denouncing the work that they are doing when it is so desperately needed and welcomed.

But I have to respond to this.
I am not gratefull, not even a little bit. I oppose the war in Afghanistan, with this oh so precious freedom, that is brought up so often, and that is not the result of NATOs actions in Afghanistan.
Frankly, whats offensive is this "in your name" attitude, that the soldiers are there in our name, fighting for us... Even if we not only dont care for it, but we also dont want it. We have military there. Granted, not much, but theyre there... Doing pretty much what the New Zealanders seem to be doing. Patroling a relatively peacefull province, and not getting exposed. Fine. The problem is that they are there representing us. I cannot be gratefull for that. What I am is offended.

You and your husband sacrifice so much so that others may have peace of mind and a safe, free world to live in. I may not have any desire to have a military life but I'm thankful to God for those who do. Those who put their lives on the line for strangers, the least those 'strangers' could be is grateful!

A girl at hockey pissed me off tonight real bad, thinking she can comment on what our military does in Afghanistan when she has no fuckin clue
I was talking to another girl on my hockey team (who is in the airforce) and mentioned that Craig had been in Afghanistan. This other girl heard and asked what he was doing there, I said 'Fixing the optical equipment and things like that' and she said 'Oh so they can go and kill people' me and the airforce girls were like um NO! And this stupid girl started going on about how murder is illegal here, but it's ok for soldiers to do it over there etc. Me and airforce girl were like um no it's provincial reconstruction (although admittedly, they would kill someone if they were in immediate danger) and stupid girl was like 'well I have a differing view'. WTF kind of view is that?! When it is entirely WRONG and pretty offensive to those of us who have family who have served. Silly cow.
In case any of you are wondering, New Zealands role over in Afghanistan is patrolling and helping the local people rebuild. Not so much out hunting for Taliban, although the patrolling that is done is to ensure security of the province - no front line conflict for our troops where they are. Although if the shit hit the fan where they are, they would become front line troops etc. Edited at: Sunday, May 24, 2009 2:37:05 AM
Stained Class is top notch, HBFL also falls in the slightly patchy category for me, Evening Star and Take On The World would not look out of place on Turbo and Evil Fantasies is stupid i think. Delivering The Goods however is one of Priests best ever songs.

I am not gratefull, not even a little bit. I oppose the war in Afghanistan, with this oh so precious freedom, that is brought up so often, and that is not the result of NATOs actions in Afghanistan.
Frankly, whats offensive is this "in your name" attitude, that the soldiers are there in our name, fighting for us... Even if we not only dont care for it, but we also dont want it. We have military there. Granted, not much, but theyre there... Doing pretty much what the New Zealanders seem to be doing. Patroling a relatively peacefull province, and not getting exposed. Fine. The problem is that they are there representing us. I cannot be gratefull for that. What I am is offended.

I was talking to another girl on my hockey team (who is in the airforce) and mentioned that Craig had been in Afghanistan.

And this stupid girl started going on about how murder is illegal here, but it's ok for soldiers to do it over there etc. Me and airforce girl were like um no it's provincial reconstruction (although admittedly, they would kill someone if they were in immediate danger) and stupid girl was like 'well I have a differing view'. WTF kind of view is that?! When it is entirely WRONG and pretty offensive to those of us who have family who have served. Silly cow.
In case any of you are wondering, New Zealands role over in Afghanistan is patrolling and helping the local people rebuild. Not so much out hunting for Taliban, although the patrolling that is done is to ensure security of the province - no front line conflict for our troops where they are. Although if the shit hit the fan where they are, they would become front line troops etc. Edited at: Sunday, May 24, 2009 2:37:05 AM
Absolutely. Painkiller is in my opinion the best Priest album. British Steel is awesome but to me cheesy numbers like Living After Midnight and United let it down a little. Screaming is ace as well but i reckon Chains and Pain And Pleasure let it down, I don't think Painkiller has a weak track.
If those guys had Travis in the band in 86 i reckon Turbo would have been completly different. It's a crackup when you compare the Priest of 86 to the Priest of 90. The massive change in music, image etc in just 4 years. The only thing that didn't really change was Glenn Tiptons hair, that never changes.
Yeah, Dave Holland was crap. If you compare what he was doing to what Scott Travis did on Painkiller it's like a whole new band, completely revitalized them. Thing about Painkiller is that even though it's nearly 20 years old it doesn't sound dated whereas some of the other albums do, I put a lot of that down to Dave Hollands unimaginative drumming.
lol...you've got that right JJ...I've often thought the same thing myself, if you're not going to college, you're in the military for say 3-4 years...in the States, it's the official mantra to have an all volountary military (they don't want to be stuck raising someone elses kids or to be used as an alternative to the penal system)...but I agree with you, it would straighten a lot of these young kids of today up and make them realize that they ain't shit, there's always someone bigger and badder!!!

Yeah, why the hell did priest stay with Dave Holland for so long, some of his drumming sounds almost wrong for the music, those plodding, slow 1 2 3 4 beats, hate to say it but sometimes his drumming just sounds terrible on the albums. If you compare him to someone like Nicko McBrain or Lars Ulrich in the same era he's nothing.
Lars Ulrichs drumming on those first four albums is insane, he was the best drummer in metal back then, just full on from start to finish, used to love his style, really hitting the drums as hard as he could, heaps of arm movement in comparison to a lot of drummers at the time.
In a way I wish they'd make military service compulsory here.

Sounds like a bit of a cash in to me, bunch of random live songs strung together from various tours is never gonna go down as a classic album. Guess Priest don't feel as if they've put togther a live show worthy of recording and releasing in it's entirety recently.

The "reason" I don't like you(and lets make it clear,I really don't like you)..is because your a "smartass",and its not only "ME" that "does'nt like you"...its a whole lot of other people as well.
This forum would only be better if you would not be a part of it. So why don't you do us all a favor and simply "leave"....and don't come back,as I've said before..nobody would even notice your gone.

It was stupid, eveyone was running round trying to buy this special drug to combat bird flu, people were scared and criticizing the government because they hadn't made enough of it to treat the entire population. I went out drinking with a mate who warned me of the dangers of it, he reckoned there was going to be an epidemic and people would be dying all over the place. I bet him $500 that within a year not one person in NZ will have died from bird flu. A year later no-one had died and he welched on the bet. One funny thing about it though was all these asian tourists were walking around with surgical masks on their faces.

No,you just added to an argument that was'nt even yours. SadWingsRaging told me "whatever floats your boat dude,"JUST STAY OFF MINE."
"Just stay off mine"...I took that as an insult as I've never said anything to this guy in any negative way at all,I was'nt trying to get "on his boat"....that was a "smartass thing to say I don't care what anybody tells me,it was a fuckin smartass at work.
I told him to basically knock it off in an abrasive way and you of all people decided to jump in like Super man thinking you would add your 2 cents in...well...you got what you deserved and now your all butt hurt and bent about it.
And the funny thing is it is this hard for you to understand. I was the one who was "scorned" in a smartass tone,not you.
So in the future,why don't you just think about "what" your "defending" before you post. I'm not threatening you,I'm just trying to make you understand that you were and are "wrong" for doing what you did.
If you do it again,I will be here to scorn you again,and again,and again. I won't shut the hell up,so just think about it.

Ordinarily I don't involve myself in this kind of stuff but if you read the context of SadWings original post he wasn't being a smartass, he was just saying that he doesn't care for some of the things you may be into but he doesn't knock them so it would be good if you could do the same. After that you started laying down insults about him being from mississippi, telling people to back the fuck off, wishing other members would fuck off, talking tough and being a general hotheaded jerk. All I said was that it cracks me up when people talk tough over the internet and you laid into me about knowing nothing because i'm from NZ. Interesting to see that the only thing in my post that you quoted as being a lie was the part about you lording over the site with your pompous views on metal. I take it then that we are in agreement about your tough talking, expletive ridden tirades and insulting other members based on where they live? For other members who are interested check out JD's post on how Dios Magica cd correctly utilises classical elements in with the metal without overdoing it the way Priest have done on Nostradamus. We are lucky to have such a learned expert in the incorporation of classical stylings into metal with us here on the site. ( Even if he does say fuck all the time ).

Man you are 100% exactly right about Nostradamus. Its an opera album with just a little bit of metal thrown in. I only like about 3 or 4 songs on that cd. It eems llike there are a 100 songs on that thing and it goes on and on and on with just a few good metal moments here and there. I just don't care for the orchestra stuff. If they go out and do Nostradamus with an orchestra like Metallica did it would be pretty sad.

It is an "Opera album" sprinkled with a little heavy metal....a little.
On Angel Of Retribution...they did the track "Elegy" which has atmosphere with the instraments such as keyboards and piano..ect..but that is a small part to the album which is used the right way.
It is not a long boring song,just a song that leaves you no option but to like it. If it were 10 minutes long...it would be the worst part on the album...even worse than the only bad track on the album in "Lochness" which is tough to get any worse(lol!)
Its ok to use some classical elements into the album if its done the right way. Take Ronnie James Dio's "Magica" for example...that is the correct way to add classical elements into a real "Heavy Metal" album.Magica is definately a "heavy metal " album,even though it has loads of instraments in it that Nostradamus has....you never look at Magica as being "over-done" or an "overkill of opera/classical elements" like Nostradamus is.
Nostradamus leaves you with the sensation that you did not just hear a heavy metal album.There is far not enough heavy metal in Nostradamus,not near enough.

Here are some facts:
- Glenn Tipton himself will tell you Priest's music and his guitar playing is heavily influenced by classical playing. That doesn't mean Just Nostradamus. That means his guitar playing, and Priest's music, NOT album.
-It's a well know FACT that Metal is indeed heavily influenced in classical music. Like I said, look up Iron Maiden's music. There is nothing sad about it, your just extremely closed minded and can't understand that "Metal" ISN'T just one sound and feeling.
-Metal draws it's roots from deep in the blues, rock n roll, and classical music.

Look at this poor excuse for a "metal band"? What kind of image for metal is this bullshit? Metallica turned out to be the worst metal band there ever was,and probly ever will be. Being into "metal" in 1983 at the age of "13" I was around in the true metal era and was raised on metal's philosophy,ideology and aesthetics.Metallica used to be a band that defended this "law" of codes,and now they are the example of "what not to be" for new up-coming metal bands.
I fucking hate this band with a passion,they are true back-stabbers and betrayers to the max. Shame on them for posing as a metal band,and shame on anyone who likes this band in this day and age.If there was a lower grade than an "F" I would give it to Metallica. Yuk.
This ridiculous situation I've gotten myself into by not growing a backbone and standing up for myself. My husband is so threatened by the dog that HE picked out for the family that now he hates him and is insisting that I rehome our family dog. I'm so pissed off and sad about this right now that I just don't have the urge to do anything productive today. It's not like I can divorce the guy over a dog but.. oh wait can I?? I mean would it really be so wrong?? lol
Why the hell is life so complicated, when we agree to enter a legal contract with someone that suddenly makes them think that now that you have their last name that they own you or has he just slowly worn me down over the last eight years? It wasn't like this when we were just a couple living together. This is why I'm so against marriage. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy but this is not right.. it just isn't right.
My copy of the DVD needed to be edited because all the files were incorrectly titled. Also...when I go on the find information box, it would within the box still display it as its official incorrect even though on the list I have edited it properly. Anybody have this same problem?

All the photos of Priest in the Turbo remastered cd. No offence intended but they all look like fucking idiots. Dave Holland looks like a kiddie fiddler, oh thats right, he is.
The Hellraisers. It's about Richard Burton, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris and Peter O'Toole, basically talks about all the scrapes these notorious boozehounds have gotten into over the years, hilarious. My favourite part so far is the story about how Eddie Fisher phoned Elizabeth Taylor ( his wife ) at their home while he was away and Richard Burton answered the phone. Asks the obvious question "What are you doing there?" to which Burton replies "Fucking your wife". Brilliant.
Well said, JJ. And almost entirely accurate! I mean, it would take an absolute nimrod to actually watch that crap more than a few seconds. I guess it all comes down to commerce. If you can sell it and get enough people to buy it, you make money. Talent, relevance, intelligence and substance are clearly optional..in fact, NOT required.

I have to say that Living After Midnight and United are very irritating songs but hearing the rest of British Steel live would be wicked. The reason the Nostradamus tour has been "postponed" ( read that as cancelled ) is because Priest have pulled their heads out of their asses and come to terms with the fact that nobody is all that interested in hearing it in it's entirety. Except maybe the kind of wackos who listen to the bloody thing every day.
I saw a good one yesterday called In Bruges. Stars Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes. It's about two hitmen who botch up a killing and have to hide out in Bruges ( the most boring city in Europe ) until things cool down. Great scene involving some American tourists and another involving an argument about smoking in restaurants.

Tom Cruise is OK, but he is no Heston. DiCaprio, Hugh Grant, Brad Pitt...they do absolutely nothing for me. Nothing. And then there are the people that simply do not belong on a screen or in front of a microphone for ANY reason.. but I digress.
I feel so old when I see old footage of Oscar presentations from the forties, fifties and sixties. I see actors that were really BIG time. Icons that we will never see again. I know that change is inevitable and no one lives forever, but I can't help but feel a tremendous loss when I watch this stuff. When I recall those days in the theater, watching Heston deliver a line that may have seemed so innocuous but had impact that has resonated through the years. To watch Jimmy Stewart or Spencer Tracy do things that NO ONE today can do. Subtle things that mean so much.
The Princess is a big fan of current Hollywood. Reads all the gossip magazines. Watches the shows. I see these people and I wonder, are they going to impact today's generation the way I was impacted by the "old guard"? Are they better than I give them credit for being? Is it just that I am old and set in my ways and I cannot see their greatness? I suppose that is possible but I am grateful for TCM Channel anyway.

When I heard that the Band was planning an album based on Nostradamus, I had an idea of what to expect from it. I was not surprised by the way it was written and presented, although I am still a bit confused over the opera- stuff. Perhaps that is not as big a surprise to others? I don't know.
As for the comment on gay sex, I'm afraid you are reading far too much into that. I was only saying that it seems the Band (and Rob in particular) were rather fixated on gay sex, and sex in general, during that era. I have NO idea what to expect from the next album, if that is what you mean. I simply point out that Nostradamus is pretty much just what I thought it would be.
I am not sure if we are both speaking the same language, or at least thinking along the same lines, but I can assure you there was nothing insidious about my post. If you wish to discuss gay sex, I am sure there are Threads wherein you will find more than enough opinions and comments. I am not all that 'learned" on the subject.

As for playing it in it's entirety, I do believe that it will happen. They have said they want to and, let's face it, if they were worried about selling out arenas, they would have changed their style a LONG time ago. Perhaps went to screaming and indecipherable growling? I don't know. The thing is, they are at a point where they do not have to play to fifty thousand people in order to survive or remain relevant.

They have said they want to and, let's face it, if they were worried about selling out arenas, they would have changed their style a LONG time ago. Perhaps went to screaming and indecipherable growling? I don't know. The thing is, they are at a point where they do not have to play to fifty thousand people in order to survive or remain relevant. They are far beyond that. We will see a Nostradamus ONLY show. Count on it.

Yeah, the album itself was not really the point of the post. It was more about those idiot fans of the band that sometimes post on the site. Just used the album as an example to illustrate their mentality. Seeing it played in its entirety would be good but i don't think there would be much of a market for it, hence the comment about small venues. One question. What made you bring up gay sex?

Oh, I did not mean to suggest that DotF is the only one! It's just that songs like Jawbreaker and Eat Me Alive come to mind. That's all. As I mentioned, I have no problem with the new album. Don't hate it, don't love it. It is fine with me. It is what it is. Personally, I was not expecting a Painkiller II. In fact, Nostradamus is pretty much what I figured it would be.

I agree in what you said Freeze, it's a good album but is far from being one of their best.... why did you say "Rob went through his "gay sex" phase with Defenders"?? (I mean why do you say it was in Defenders and not other album)

I understand your point, jimmy. Personally, I like the album but I have been saying since day one that it is not my favorite. Like you, I do not simply rave on everything the Band produces. Not a big fan of Turbo at all. Not afraid to admit it, either. Nostradamus is a valiant effort at something that , eventually, most of the "greats" attempt. The Wall, Tommy...you get the idea. I suppose, in the Band's defense, that it is exactly the kind of subject matter we should expect from them. I mean, Rob already went through his "gay sex" phase with Defenders, right?
I do not rate Nostradamus in my top five but I have no problem with it. There are some great songs and the Band accomplished exactly what they wanted to with it.

I'll only say this:
Weather isn't boring...it's dynamic! The atmosphere is never resting...something is always happening, even if the day is sunny and calm. It has a huge impact on whether or not your day will be productive or not simply by the temperature of the air. Extreme temperature can take a toll on you if you're out in it for a long time, speeding the process of fatigue or dehydration.
The weather can either aid us or go against us. We can't stop it, especially now as it changes, but we can adapt and work with it. In short, it plays a role in our daily lives. That's why we often talk about it, whether at a bus stop or on a metal band's website. You've been here long enough to know that we've been talking about the weather in our cities before this thread was created, so this topic is nothing new. It's like the Tipton vs. Hetfield thread, or the watcha eatin thread. It ain't gonna die anytime soon. So get used to it.

Lets be honest. Is Nostradamus in Priests top five albums? No. Top 10? Maybe but probably not. I'm sick of all the dooshbags on this site who keep going on about how great it is. I know everyones entitled to their own opinion and some members do legitimately love it but what I'm talking about are the kind of people who are not objective in any way. For example if someone was to say that they thought Nostradamus was a weak album and that it was a waste of money, you could guarantee a number of dickhead members would be all up in arms saying " hey man get your fucking head checked " or " fuck you Nostradamus rules " or some other brainless comment. These are the kind of bozos I can't stand. If Priest amplified a fart and recorded and released it these idiots would be saying it's one of the best things they've ever heard. I just hate that stupid, blind devotion and inability to differentiate between anything the band has done. I think these kind of fans detract from the site. Personally, I think the album is ok, good for what it is and a brave attempt to do something different but if Priest attempted to tour playing it in it's entirety they'd be playing in 500 seat halls.

Not sure if this is true or not but i heard Seagal is the only non-japanese person to own land in Japan. The Japanese apparently have a policy that forbids foreign ownership of any of their land. Seagal, however, is held in such high esteem in the martial arts world that the allowed the rule to be bent so that he could own a small piece of land to build a dojo or something on.

Some of the bands involved in the grunge era were awesome, Nirvana were a little over-rated in my opinion, only because I reckon they are guilty of releasing 1/2 albums. ie. 6 great songs and 25 minutes of out of tune distortion and general shit.

I think its sad, that people base the value of another person because of this.. Esp because alot of people are born, into different religions and continue to follow that religion because of thier heritage...

Most occult activity is kept deeply underground and the extreme behavior they have been accused of in the past is simply not true. Satanism is much like Christianity in it`s worship.
Now before anyone tries to get all peeved off because of that statement,I only use it in comparison of styles of worship,not in direct correlation. So relax.
Most of how Satanism is viewed is due to Hollywood and some overly extreme groups that have been disbanded since most of their members are behind bars. This info is very easy to find and read on.

What a crack up all that hysteria over metal was back in the 80s. How could anyone have seriously thought these guys were devil worshippers. Imagine Steve Harris drinking goats blood and speaking in tongues, Paul Stanley conducting a satanic ritual, Angus Young sacrificing a virgin, it's beyond belief.

Today I asked a five year old to pick a cd out of the many I have for us to listen to. He picked Priests Hell Bent For Leather. Great choice. Later I asked a three year old to do the same thing, the first cd she picked out was Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister. As soon as she saw that picture of Dee Snyder on the cover she put it straight back and grabbed another one. I think Dee scared her.
This is one of the greatest heavy metal live performances I have ever heard. The song has so much character and emotion. from the bells and evil voices echoing, to Rob's dragged out growls at end of each verse, to his desperate cryouts about death riding out from the storm, to the solo, and the closure as he goes back inside through the stage door on his throne. The guitar work too is just excellent, ranging from doomy simple riffs, to extreme shredding and use of wah pedalling, with some flashy moments of Scott's double bass drumming. After mediocre attempts to make the perfct evil doomy metal song with tunes like A Touch Of Evil and Revolution, this third round they came the right way. I'd like to believe this song has earned itself a spot in the definitive Priest setlist, as well as one of their greatest hits. give your thoughts people.

Chewie was great, he could fly a spaceship and loved going round shooting stormtroopers. Bones was always being the humanitarian, what a boring bastard he was.
I would concede that point were you speaking of the "bootstrappers." The ones who had the drive to create something out of nothing. The Mozilla / Yahoo group.
However, I grew up in the Detroit suburbs and know all too well that it is all about dynasty. I did construction on MULTIPLE ford mansions (I am speaking of great grandkids here). OLD money. What did they do to deserve such an advantage? Well, they were born. Ford, Bush, Fischer. ALL came from old money. I appreciate the great grandfather who might have built an empire but I despise trust-fund babies. Paris Hilton...look at what a huge industry SHE actually runs! Perfumes, clothing lines, (arg) TV. Sadly, SHE is an industry. Should I try to learn from her? Sorry, I don't want to emulate her nor any other of the hundred of "dynasty" family kids I knew who were born with silver spoons in their mouths.
I respect Bill Gates / Steve Jobs more. Bill, especially. Despite his sucky OS, he is one who really gives back to society in donations. Most of which fly right under the radar as he doesn't want his name associated with magnanimous deeds.

They should make a Bill Clinton commemorative coin. He was cool. He was on Letterman a few weeks back and managed to dominate and completely control Letterman and the conversation. This is extremely difficult to do as the whole set-up of the show is rigged in Lettermans favour. 99.9% of the guests on that show are wrapped around Lettermans little finger. The Horndog turned it around and there was nothing Letterman could do. He's a master communicator. Don't think Bill started any wars during his presidency either. And he was involved in that great sex scandal. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Wednesday, December 10, 2008 4:04:40 PM)

Hugh Laurie who plays House is a great British comedy actor and has been on the scene in the U.K for over 25 years. The show you are thinking of is called Jeeves and Wooster. Laurie plays Wooster an upper class english idiot who is always getting himself into trouble. Jeeves, played by Stephen Fry, is his butler who always saves the day. For other great Hugh Laurie stuff check out Amazon UK, for the Blackadder series, particularly series 3 and 4 and his own show A Bit Of Fry And Laurie.

Hey great idea, lets boycott the new GNR cd, that'll teach that mean Axl Rose a lesson. Hey maybe we could get the guys on Iron Maidens web page to do the same, that would be awesome. Lets make him regret the day he booted the other drug fucked alcoholics out of the band and seized control like a nazi.
I guess my only comment would be, "Is anyone really surprised??" I mean, honestly. Rose is a self-centered, marginally talented drug addict. He is completely and utterly self-destructive as well. A disaster just looking for a place to happen.
I loved Appetite. Great album. Played it until I wore it out! I enjoyed Illusion. Not as much, but I enjoyed it. But through it all, there was Axl and his personal metdowns. Someone earlier said it very well, "little man's syndrome". What talent Rose possesses is completely overshadowed by his lack of any self control. He is an embarrassment to his bandmates and to himself. Above all, he thinks he is better than he really is. Typical.
I do not wish failure on Axl or anyone else...well, with the exception of Rosie O'Donnel and Ellen Degeneres..HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, it is no surprise at all that he is in the position he is in and has become what he has become.

Got to agree with you there Joe, Death is good but Black Sabbath is epic and classic, one of the best and most influential songs in metal. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Friday, October 17, 2008 9:31:56 PM)

I would say Black Sabbath is the better song. Musical arrangement wise, Death is exactly like Black Sabbath and totally rips it off haha. That quite riff back up by the similar heavy one, then the fast thing at the end, it's all the same thing basically.
Death is an amazing song too though. Black Sabbath is always gonna top it. Nothing can touch the original Sabbath on stage, not even Priest in my opinion. There's just something there that can't be beaten. If or When Ozzy goes back to playing with Sabbath, go see them, I wish I could. But seriously though, if there mind blowing on TV, you can bet it's gonna be way better live.

Slowdown now Jimmyjames... Dianno has to be considered abig part of Maiden's past. I had the opportunity to see Maiden (Killers) with Priest (POE) in 1981. Dianno was excellent.. The biggest suprise in my opinion on their setlist then was Strange World from their first album. By the way VOM, you are a big IM fan, do u have a copy of the Roadhouse Tapes? Just checkin'.

Has anyone seen a movie called Meet The Feebles? It's an NZ movie by Peter Jackson who did the Lord Of The Rings films. Basically it's a pisstake of the Muppet Show but with loads of sex and violence. One of the best scenes shows a walrus having sex with a cat. It's all puppets too, like the Muppet Show. It's real funny.
Don't wanna be an fun spoiler, but QOTSA is not metal(but are one hell of a band), is stoner rock, but at least his vocalist has been on Kyuss as guitarrist, the fathers of stoner metal.

Turbo is definately underrated, when you look at some of the stuff that was coming out at that time Turbo stands up really well 22 years later. Must admit tho, Parental Guidence is ridiculous, especially coming from a bunch of guys in their mid to late 30s, as priest were at the time. All the other songs on the album are good.
[jimmyjames] Wednesday, October 15, 2008 6:30:45 AM
Jump by Van Halen, this song is irritating and the band are so obnoxious in the music video, probably the second lowest moment in the career of Van Halen for me, the first being when they employed Gary Charone.

I noticed a few of you guys talking about one of the great under rated actors of our time, Kurt Russell, in one of the threads. Here are three great Kurt Russell movies that i like.
Dark Blue, in this one KR plays a hard drinking corrupt cop who is educating his younger partner as to "the way it is". Murder, payoffs, planting evidence etc reign supreme as everything begins to spiral out of control in the days leading up to the LA riots. This movie is awesome. Brendan Gleeson and Ving Rhames are also in it.
Tango And Cash, in this one KR plays Cash, it's an action movie about two cops who are complete opposites, thin on plot and loaded with shooting, explosions, fights and wisecracks. It's got everything you could want from a late 80s action flick, Sly Stallone is great in this too, playing Tango.
Big Trouble In Little China, this is an absolute classic, KR plays a truck driver who gets mixed up in a fiendish plot masterminded by an ancient chinese wizard. Without giving away too much, a chinese girl with green eyes is kidnapped by an evil wizard in order to fulfill a prophecy which will result in him gaining eternal life, KR and his rag tag bunch of helpers attempt to save her. Magic, gunfights, strange creatures, wizards, kung fu, people inflating, lightning being shot from fingers, wisecracks and swordplay from start to finish. I've lost count of how many times i've seen this. It is wicked.

I have to say that i am really enjoying the ongoing war of words taking place in several of the threads on this site between Victim Of Metal, Phantom A6 and a few others and Metalgod/Electric Eye. It's a refreshing change from the usual Watcha Eating, Watcha Drinking small talk bullshit.
I've always despised Mama Said by Metallica, those guys had their heads so far up their asses when they brought that embarrassment out. At the time the reigning kings of metal decide to try to prove to everyone what a diverse range of influences shape their music and bring out a down home redneck country style ballad, so full of phony sentimentality it would make even Eddie Vedder cringe. To me this song was the low point of Metallicas career, then St Anger came out and they sunk even further into the mire.
C'mon guys lets revive this thread, it's always been a funny one.
Has anyone seen a movie called In The Company Of Men, it's about two guys who decide to mess around with a random womans emotions just for the hell of it. It's pretty heavy viewing in some parts and the way one guy in particular manipulates people is pretty disturbing, but its an intense movie. Aaron Eckhardt plays the main manipulator, probably his best role that i've seen.
The original Star Wars trilogy is classic cinema, the prequels are a waste of time, the only good thing to come out of them was Weird Al Yankovics encapsulation of the entire plot of Phantom Menace into one song, sung to the tune of American Pie, check it out on youtube, it's clever and funny.
I've always thought Star Trek was a good tv show, the movies didn't do much for me at all, can't really remember anything about them apart from Wrath Of Kahn. Ricardo Montalbans portrayal of Kahn is probably the best and most memorable piece of acting ever done by anyone in anything associated with Star Trek, he completely outclasses second raters Shatner and Nimoy and all the other B grade hacks involved in the franchise. The Star Trek movies are to Sci Fi what the Police Academy movies are to comedy, the first few were ok, but after a while it just gets tiresome. Just a bunch of crappy actors flogging a dead horse.
Star Wars ( the originals ) wins it easily for me.

You were the first to whine about the price of tickets. I read your thread or post and did some research and found out stubhud had crazy ticket prices. Now you buy a ticket and feel the price is just fine,lol? Your the hyppocrite. Almost $20.00 more for a ticket, then Priest? I can't compare prices between the two? And why didn't they not put out an album for 11 years? I guess they weren't retiered, just on vacation,huh? And you seem to be just one of those tough guys with a keyboard. Try not to rub everyone wrong right off the bat. It's a fourm, you know where people discuss issues. Whether they agree or disagree.

This album gets better with every listen for me, i've probably listened to it about 10 - 12 times now and its really good, some of the songs on it are going to be insane live, I'd recommend to anyone whose ever been a fan of the band to give it a chance.
[jimmyjames] Sunday, September 21, 2008 4:42:18 PM
Axl Rose, along with Izzy Stradlin, was the real song writing talent in GNR. As Velvet Revolver proves, Slash, Duff and Matt Sorum, while great musicians, are not good songwriters. Without Axl and Izzy they'd have nowhere near the profile they do now. Part of the reason these two were kicked out is because they were always wasted all the time and couldn't contribute anything, Slash is always going on about how fucked up he was on heroin and booze, Duff was a bad alcoholic as well, who wants to work with assholes like that. I hope that Chinese Democracy, when it is released does well and justifies the time spent on it. Axls shows in NZ and Australia last year were awesome, hope he gets down here again soon, with a new album under his belt.

I read an interview with Halford years ago and in it he said that when priest were recording Stained Class ( I think it was ) they recorded a cover of Play With Fire by The Rolling Stones which sounded great. As far as I'm aware this track has never been released anywhere and is probably either destroyed or gathering dust somewhere. I would love to hear priests version of that great underrated stones classic. I reckon it would sound awesome.

NINE INCH NAILS in Duluth, Ga 8-13-08
Sound was good, but they went way overboard with the constant flashing lights. Those video screens were interesting for a little while. They were also over-used. There were times you couldn't even see the band. Played mostly stuff from The Slip, Year Zero, and Ghosts, but also played the old fan favorites and the hits that you would expect. I give it 7 stars out of 10.
THE MEATMEN in Atlanta 5-15-08
Best punk rock band ever finally made their return. Tesco Vee still sounds strong and is still energetic on stage at 50! Nice small club, sound was good, hung out with Tesco for a while, not too expensive, they blasted out most of my favorite songs, played a few I didn't expect. I had a great time at this show. The Despised opened up. They weren't bad. This show gets 10 stars out of 10.
On Oct. 11th, there are 4 different shows in Atlanta that I want to see, but unless I clone myself, I'll just make it to one. Joe Bonamassa (great blues guitarist) at Center Stage, Danzig / Dimmu Borgir at the Tabernacle, Kamelot at the Masquerade, or The Allman Brothers at Chastain.

Lips Of An Angel - Hinder.
Photograph - Nickleback.
My Sacrifice - Creed.
Theses are three of the worst songs ever in my book, by three of the worst bands ever, manufactured middle of the road hard rock for people who don't listen to music, generally people who are into this sort of shit are the kind of people who buy a cd and only listen to the one song off it. They always have terrible cd collections. The way they get into it is by either driving around or sitting at their desk with some mindless commercial radio station playing in the background, not even aware that they are being brainwashed. We got one of these stations in NZ, its called THE ROCK and they play crap like this all day. Once a year they have a rock top 500 where listeners email in their votes for their favourite songs and then they play them all 500 down to 1, the top 20 is always the same, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, AC/DC and Metallica. Obviously then, that is what the listeners really like, so why don't they play that all the time instead of these wankers?

A guy goes into a confessional and says "forgive me father for i have sinned" "confess your sins and all will be forgiven my son" the priest replies. "well father " says the guy "yesterday my wife was bending over to get something out of the freezer, she was wearing a short skirt and it rode up exposing her panties to me, i was overcome with lust, i couldn't help myself, i went over, pulled down her panties and shafted her hard, right there and then" "thats it?" the priest asks, "yes father thats what happend, am i going to hell?" says the guy, "my son, this was your wife you say?" "yes father" "my son it is perfectly natural for a man to express his love for his wife in a physical way in the eyes of the church, you're not going to go to hell, if it makes you feel any better go home and say 10 hail marys" "really father, thats fantastic news, i was so worried, i thought i was going to be banned from the church" "not at all my son" says the priest " the church would never ban a man for making love to his wife" "well could you have word to the people at the supermarket for me then father"

I saw priest in vancouver in july, should be ok with cameras, lots of people had them there, gutted the nz show was cancelled, had tickets to that as well. Awesome live show you guys have got to look forward to.
) 
...the last two summers have been the best ever for me as far as how many bands that I was 
(hottest part...) (pit)?
Sort of entertaining actually.
but in saying that, I will still give 100% of my support to the other 4/5's of Judas Priest 
Ozzys voice is just too annoying man...lol
LOL
I agree with Maiden's back catalogue except for your Seventh Son comparison,that album is nowhere near Saxon's last 7 studio albums neither is Somewhere In Time but I'll say that the first 5 Maiden albums are better than Saxon yes. This thread should of been "modern day" era for both bands. That being said Saxon is still up 13 to 4 and that is amazing. Most people including myself are giving Saxon credit for the last 15 years over Maiden,people are sick and tired of "The Final Frontier" kind of sounds,sure I still like AMOLAD minus 2 tracks but I see why people don't like modern day Maiden,thier sound isn't strong anymore while Saxon's sound is very strong and heavy.
I think I'll go with the root of the name, Steward. Damn if Rod has not held up over the years. Soccer (oh sorry, football) has done him well. 
Plus it's in a bar so lots of beer to drink.
...I wasn't going to post here anymore but I had something brought to my attention that I wanted to explain.
. Being one who loves both bands I will say this, it is my firm belief that Iron Maiden has a cult following much like Deadheads (Grateful Dead) or even the Dave Matthews Band.
I need a sunga. LOL!!!
