Judas Priest

[Brew]

The lyrics are a bit daft, but the music is brilliant.

[Dread_rocker]

saw priest a few weeks ago in their hometown and it was ****in awesome!!!!

In Brum?

Apparently they recorded that show for a DVD.

I was there :)

I was there :)
did you see the tv cameras or was it a drunk uy telling you so?

[shamed-angel]

Listening to Unleashed in the East on Vynil and wondered if it was overdubbed much cause it sounds an amazing quality live recording. I expect someone like Brum will know this. Being the tr00 Priest fan he is. :lol:

[ToRidTheDisease]

Once again, just maybe....

Can someone send me Angel of Retribution? Maybe over AIM or yousendit.com?

[Brew]

did you see thetv cameras or was it a drunk uy telling you so?

Apparently we were the only show to have screens + pyro so...

[jaco jr]

Apparently we were the only show to have screens + pyro so...
yeh - they werent aloud pyro at plymouth

[Brew]

Hmm.

If they do put out a DVD, that'd be cool.

If not then meh.

[Deth]

Lochness is a very good song.

I'll pick up the DVD if it's released in the US.

[Moses]

I saw them live at Ozzfest last year and they kicked ***. What a good year I can't wait for this years.....

[SweetLeaf1988]

With Priest you could hardly hear what Halford was singing, they had everything else up too much and it was kinda meh.

Edit: Its excuseable though, the NEC is a horrible venue.

meh, priest's sound was great at the Odyssey in belfast...the scorpions' lead singer kept throwing his tambourine to a roadie, who would then throw it back to him... :confused: twas weird but funny :p

[jaco jr]

the only good things scorpions did was stop playing
the only cool thing they did was when the guiatrist and bassist were driving each other back with their guitar necks - it made a cool sound

[SweetLeaf1988]

i didn't mind the scorpions myself...i ended up downloading two of their songs when i got back...****nnn i was at priest for free (one of my mates knew someone who knew Scott Travis...apparently...) but we were sitting, and those **** security guys wouldnt let us down into the standing area even though it wasnt full >:( ...gotta be grateful i guess, it WAS free...i saw megadeth for free when they were here too...everyone needs to go and seek out one of these people :P

[Brew]

I'm regretting not borrowing some Scorpions albums off my Uncle, they were amazing.

[SweetLeaf1988]

*sings* rock you like a hurrriiicaaaaane

[\m/Pete\m/]

Im probably gonna get flamed for this but, i liked JP better when the had Ripper


I like JP all around, but i prefer Rippers vocals to Rob

[SweetLeaf1988]

i've never heard any ripper songs, but i think i'll tend to avoid...like i avoid Dio fronting sabbath.

[Brew]

i've never heard any ripper songs, but i think i'll tend to avoid...like i avoid Dio fronting sabbath.

You're really missing out on some good music by doing that.

[JACKROXYOU]

yea its not the whole band without dio

[Riva]

Both Dio and Ozzy were integral parts of Sabbath. Both lent a unique style.

However, I am a major supporter of Rob's time over Tim's.

[JACKROXYOU]

I saw them live at Ozzfest last year and they kicked ***. What a good year I can't wait for this years.....

they're not in it are they?

[jaco jr]

*sings* rock you like a hurrriiicaaaaane
they sucked - no - in fact they were worse - they blowed
he sang out of tune - he even whistled out of tune (winds of change)

[Defender0FmetaL]

i just heard Angel, it very good and beautiful song

[SweetLeaf1988]

they sucked - no - in fact they were worse - they blowed
he sang out of tune - he even whistled out of tune (winds of change)

lmao the way he said "belfast" was hilarious, i was dying off

[LiquidTensionTheatre]

There were loads of pyro effects at Cardiff. And the lifts all over the stage. And the MOTORBIKE :D

The Scorpions played well at Cardiff, both bands were pretty **** tight, tighter than FFaF/Iron Maiden. I also caught one of the [many] drumsticks they threw out during the performance, which was a plus.

We were about 5 rows of people from the front, **** we queued early. One of mi friends left with his leather jacket in small pieces, another spent the night in hospital throwing up and with a light concussion... I blame the painkiller pit. Twas pretty immense though, and I didn't lose my glasses like I did at Maiden!

...Anyway, my fave songs by them are Breakin the Law, Painkiller, Ram It Down, Turbo Lover and Nightcrawler. I don't have any albums but am looking into getting hold of Metalology and Angel of Retribution...

My band are thinking of covering Painkiller. It'll probably end up like Hallowed Be Thy Name, we learned that and then my guitarist decided to drop it from our set because it didn't "feel right"... that said, we do have a female vocalist. Not your ideal metal conditions.

[jaco jr]

we had no pyro at plymouth - but smoke - a load of lifts and the bike we did have - there was a half hour set change after scorpions - we were at the edge for the whole of scorpions - most people left for drinks at the beginning of the set change so we got to the front

[Deth]

When they come to my date, it's an outdoor arena, so hopefully, the pyro will be busted out again.

[Rrrrrrr]

Both Dio and Ozzy were integral parts of Sabbath. Both lent a unique style.
Tony Martin's stuff is prety good too.

Has anyone ever seen this site (http://members.firstinter.net/markster/index.html)? There's some pretty interesting stuff on it. I never knew that they've never performed The Hellion live.

How many of you remember Dave Holland? He was a pretty good drummer, for someone who didn't do double bass. Not that it matters now he's rotting in jail, the bastard.

[jaco jr]

When they come to my date, it's an outdoor arena, so hopefully, the pyro will be busted out again.
they were good enough without it

[Six Foot Revolver]

When they come to my date, it's an outdoor arena, so hopefully, the pyro will be busted out again.
I think they were only using it for the Birmington show because it was there hometown. Or so he Rob said in a interview.

I saw Iron Maiden + FFaF at Cardiff, the pit there was fun.

When I saw 'Priest in Brum though....there was no real pit, just the old dudes headbanging which was quite funny to watch.

[Deth]

I think they were only using it for the Birmington show because it was there hometown. Or so he Rob said in a interview.
I was under the impression that it was because of all of the fire codes in the indoor arenas. He said he almost had to bribe the fire chief, so it sounds like they would do it if they could.

[kas_ofi]

The Hellion is most of the times their intro to the concert followed of course by Electric Eye... Yes it is really strange that they hadnt played live... They want to impress when Electric Eye kicks in propably... :lol:

And yes Holland is a very cool drummer, very nice tempo!

[Deth]

I prefer Scott by a long shot.

[kas_ofi]

^^I think that they arent comparable... they have totally different styles... Both are very good.

[Deth]

Well, they're both drummers, so I'll compare them.

Plus, I just like the double bass.

[kas_ofi]

i like em both! :lol:

[Deth]

:D Good to know.

[Riva]

Hehe, nothing like double kick to get the pulse going.

[jaco jr]

why's he in jail?
and i prefer scott travis - he is a legend

[Deth]

I believe it's for child molestation, but I'll probably need someone to back me up on that.

[RIP Dime]

its tought to choose but i think i like Scott better

[Riva]

Judas Priest drummer beats the skins, but not the rap

It's not easy to go from drummer of one of heavy metal's top bands, to drum instructor and finally to convicted attempted rapist. But that is exactly what former Judas Priest drummer Dave Holland has managed to do.

Holland, 55, was found guilty by a London court of attempting to rape a learning-disabled 17-year old. He was also convicted on five counts of indecent assault against the teenager.

Dave Holland played with Judas Priest from 1979 to 1988. He performed on the group's landmark album "Screaming for Vengeance" and his last album with the group was - get this - "Ram it Down."
Ouch.

The attempted rape and assaults took place at Holland's home where the teenager had been taking drum lessons from Holland. The teen had received his parents' permission to stay overnight at his drum instructor's residence on several occasions.

Conclusion: Don't let your kid sleep over anyone's house. Especially at a washed-up drummer's house for "drum lessons."

(I recommend that you don't even let your kid out of your own house or even their own room. I wasn't let out of my room until my eighteenth birthday, and obviously I turned out just fine.)


Sad, isn't it.

[jaco jr]

Sad, isn't it.
yup
when was he convicted? and how long was he sent down for?

[Rrrrrrr]

I think he was sentenced this January. Eight years.

And yes, I far prefer Scott Travis. His Racer X work is awesome too.

[RIP Dime]

Priest is playing with Queensryche in my neighborhood in June, so anyone in the Hershey PA area they will be here in June (the 16th i believe)

[Riva]

Indeed it is. I think I would prefer Travis as well.

What country is that?

[ThrashMaster27]

Pennsylvania is PA, so it'd be America.

[Steerpike]

Priest is playing with Queensryche in my neighborhood in June, so anyone in the Hershey PA area they will be here in June (the 16th i believe)

I'm hoping to make it there or the Philadelphia show.

[Deth]

June 23rd for me, but for some reason tickets haven't gone on sale yet.

[Dread_rocker]

has anyone heard anymore info about the new single and the video for "worth fighting for"??

[Deth]

No, nothing yet.

Thanks for bumping though :).

Got tickets finally!

[Quiksilver26]

:D:D getting tickets to the toronto show tomorrow. probably just gonna cheap out again and get the $10 ones, then just move up once priest plays :wave:

on another note, i randomly found this website in my favourites... i think it's about priest being sued because one of the lyrics from one of their songs (i think it was Better By You Better Than Me) was encouraging suicide apparently. it was a while ago though, so anyone else hear about this?
link'd. (http://www.csicop.org/si/9611/judas_priest.html)

[Deth]

Yeah, it was a crock 'o s*it though. It just was there because of a combination of sounds.

I have really awesome seats for the show though.

[Brew]

I got the original version of Diamonds and Rust yesterday, it sounds alot like the acoustic version Priest have been doing on this tour.

I prefer Priest's cover to the original, but its a good song.

[Riva]

The best Priest cover is Jonny B. Goode.

Waaay better than Chuck Berry's (which is also fun).

[ToRidTheDisease]

Anyone know if Halford used effects on his voice in the chorus of Judas Rising?

[JACKROXYOU]

Anyone know if Halford used effects on his voice in the chorus of Judas Rising?

i dont think he did

but a great tune

[ToRidTheDisease]

Hmm. His voice seems so weird on that, haha. I completely love it though, probably one of, if not my favorite Priest song.

[JACKROXYOU]

i dont know demonizer drums beg to differ

eh, laiho?

[ToRidTheDisease]

Tis' me.

[JACKROXYOU]

i love all of the new album

and the dvd

[Riva]

Hehe, that live show is great, especially since it is essentially free.

I like how at the start, the play the intro on each others guitars.

A Touch Of Evil is a great song on that particular set.

[Rrrrrrr]

The best Priest cover is Jonny B. Goode.

Waaay better than Chuck Berry's (which is also fun).
Though that cover is awesome too, I far prefer The Green Manalishi.

[sickgoregrind]

Though that cover is awesome too, I far prefer The Green Manalishi.
The green manalishi is a cover?

[Rrrrrrr]

Yep, originally by Fleetwood Mac I believe. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

[Josh]

what was the latest priest album called? i might buy it.

[Rrrrrrr]

Angel of Retribution, it's right there in the first post.

[Kronos]

Try getting Ram It Down. Quite the awesome album. Hell Bent For Leather and Turbo are also excellent.
Turbo? Excellent? You must be a Septic Tank to like that heap of poo-centred lameness. And I am a huge Priest fan. Huge.That album vies with Point of Entry as the worst of all. And British Steel is way overrated IMO.

[Kronos]

Tony Martin's stuff is prety good too.

Has anyone ever seen this site (http://members.firstinter.net/markster/index.html)? There's some pretty interesting stuff on it. I never knew that they've never performed The Hellion live.

How many of you remember Dave Holland? He was a pretty good drummer, for someone who didn't do double bass. Not that it matters now he's rotting in jail, the bastard.
Yeah, I do. Awful IMO. They always had a problem with drummers, John Hinch played on Rocka Rolla I think, then Alan Moore did Sad Wings then they had Les Binks and Simon Phillips (yes, that Simon Phillips) and finally Mr. "would you like to see my rabbits" Holland. I like to think he lasted so long with them cos he was quiet and didn't have an ego cos he realised he was f***ing lucky to be there. Or he was cheap. Or both. :naughty:

[Kronos]

i've never heard any ripper songs, but i think i'll tend to avoid...like i avoid Dio fronting sabbath.
Dio rocks man. Rocks. :cool:

[Kronos]

Listening to Unleashed in the East on Vynil and wondered if it was overdubbed much cause it sounds an amazing quality live recording. I expect someone like Brum will know this. Being the tr00 Priest fan he is. :lol:
Er, yes it was. So much so that some dubbed it "Unleashed In The Studio"!

[Deth]

That's basically what it is though. An awesome album though.

[Kronos]

Agreed.

[Deth]

I mean the live version of Tyrant? Are you kidding me? Awesome.

[Riva]

Turbo? Excellent? You must be a Septic Tank to like that heap of poo-centred lameness. And I am a huge Priest fan. Huge.That album vies with Point of Entry as the worst of all. And British Steel is way overrated IMO.

Hey thanks for flaming me.

What's your favourite album then?

My 5 favourites are

Ram It Down
Painkiller
Hellbent For Leather
Screaming For Vengeance
Sad Wings Of Destiny

[Dread_rocker]

Mine are:

Screaming For Vengeance
Painkiller
Hell Bent For Leather
Stained Class
Angel Of Retribution

[Six Foot Revolver]

I only have three albums so I will just put them in :upset:

Sad wings of destiny
British steel
Angel of retribution

[Steerpike]

You can't possbily go wrong with Painkiller. I mean, look at the title track. They made a song about a metallic superhero saving the world from Armageddon and they made it work.

[Riva]

You can't possbily go wrong with Painkiller. I mean, look at the title track. They made a song about a metallic superhero saving the world from Armageddon and they made it work.

That's because he is the Painkiller. This is THE Painkiller.

ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steerpike]

That's because he is the Painkiller. This is THE Painkiller.

ARRRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't... stop... the... Painkilleeeeeerrrrrrr... Pain!

[Riva]

Can't... stop... the... Painkilleeeeeerrrrrrr... Pain!

And Leather Rebel has some killer riffage.

[Steerpike]

And Touch of Evil has that great atmospheric sound.

[Riva]

Have you seen it live on the bonus DVD that came with AOR?

[Steerpike]

I haven't watched the bonus DVD yet. I've been pretty busy all week.

Oh, by the way.... passport.net is where you can get a passport for MSN using your gmail address.

[G_Mac07]

EDIT: ignore this post, I shouldnt be posting in this state

[Six Foot Revolver]

Quick question to by answered by one of the R&M regulars, is the new album worth getting, i cant afford too much right right but if it's worth it i'll pick it up. thanks towards the reg's.
Well I definately think it is worth picking up

[Rrrrrrr]

You can't possbily go wrong with Painkiller. I mean, look at the title track. They made a song about a metallic superhero saving the world from Armageddon and they made it work.
One Shot at Glory is such an underrated song. The leads are some of Priest's best, and the rhythm guitar is great, but people bash it as being too "weak" for the album.

I love the breakdown before the main solos.

Hey, sorry didn't mean to flame ya - any Priest fan is a pal of mine! My faves are (tricky to put them in order tho')
Sad Wings
Painkiller
Killing Machine
Defenders of the Faith
Screaming for Vengeance
:wave:

[Riva]

Ah yes, Sad Wings is a classic. No love for Ram It Down?

[ThrashMaster27]

Five faves in order?

1. Stained Class
2. Screaming For Vengeance
3. Painkiller
4. Sad Wings Of Destiny
5. British Steel

Ram It Down is an alright album. The title track is one of my fave Priest tracks ever, but it's a little too inconsistant for me.

Hehe, Love Zone lets it down a bit. Heavy Metal and Ram It Down are brilliant, and who can deny Blood Red Skies and Hard As Iron?

[ThrashMaster27]

Hard As Iron is another classic. Blood Red Skies never appealed much to me and Heavy Metal is kinda average for Priest. I just think it was a stepping stone to the brilliant Painkiller.

[Brew]

I only have 5 Priest albums, I'll try to order them for how much I like them

1. Sin After Sin
2. Painkiller
3. Angel of Retribution
4. British Steel
5. Ram it Down

[Rrrrrrr]

1. Painkiller
2. Defenders of the Faith
3. Ram it Down
4. Screaming for Vengeance
5. Stained Class

[Deth]

1. Painkiller
2. Unleashed in the East (If it counts)
3. Screaming for Vengence
4. Angel of Retribution

It's all I have, but I'm getting Metalogy soon to warm up before the concert.

[Kronos]

Ah yes, Sad Wings is a classic. No love for Ram It Down?
I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I agree with the guy who sais it was a stepping stone to Painkiller. Perhaps there was a little too much Turbo still in them when they made it! :)
PS Turbo Lover and Out in the Cold are quite reasonable on Turbo. The others aren't. Esp. Parental Guidance. Talk about US style sellout cack

[Riva]

I think it was a real stepping stone, but it is still a really good album. :)

Speaking of which, I wonder why Tipton and Downing don't get more recognition. I mean, some of the stuff they do is amazing.

[maggot4875]

i like there new song that came out,its called revolution or something like that

[Rrrrrrr]

I wonder why Tipton and Downing don't get more recognition. I mean, some of the stuff they do is amazing.
Cue the dual lead from Ram It Down.

[Deth]

Cue the intro to Metal Meltdown.

Cue any song not on British Steel thinking about it.

Cue the awesome riffage in Leather Rebel. ;)

Off of Angel Of Retribution, yes, it's a good song. Have you heard any of the earlier stuff?

[Deth]

I think Revolution is one of the weaker songs off the album. Why isn't Judas Rising a single?

[Dread_rocker]

I think Revolution is one of the weaker songs off the album. Why isn't Judas Rising a single?
Yeah! Its ****ing great song!

[Riva]

Judas Priest is one of the stronger songs on the album yes...

So, favourite intros to any song?

For guitar: Leather Rebel

For vocals/guitar: Ram It Down

For drums/guitar: Painkiller

What about you guys?

[Rrrrrrr]

Vocals only: All Guns Blazing
Guitar: The Hellion/Electric Eye (harmonising), Leather Rebel(riffage), Metal Meltdown(solo)
Drums: Painkiller by far.
Other: Night Crawler(I just love the way it leads in to the main riff)

Here's another question: What are your favourite slow Priest leads?
For me, Glenn Tipton's solo in Beyond the Realms of Death, and all the leads in Rock Hard Ride Free.

[Riva]

Beyond The Realms of Death is great... and I like Angel, Blood Red Skies and United equally.

[munky_magik]

I think Revolution is one of the weaker songs off the album. Why isn't Judas Rising a single?
Possibly something to do with the record company?

[Deth]

I agree with all your intros, so I won't even list them.

I think Revolution was just viewed as one of the more accessible tracks on the album.

Lochness for a single!

[G_Mac07]

/bumpage from the 11th page.

I'm wondering whether the new album is worth the $27 i probably shouldn't spend. I really like the old Priest stuff, and can't d'load anything new, so I want to know whether I should splurge or not?

Thanks.

[Riva]

Hey Greg, do you want me to upload a track or two from Angel Of Retribution and email it to you?

And yes, it is definitely worth a buy. Well, coming from a Priest head like me, it is. :)

[G_Mac07]

Thanks for the offer, but I no longer download anything. period. I get charged way too much by UQ for that and I may as well just invest in the album anyway. You also have good taste, so I'll take your word for it. :p

[Deth]

'Tis an excellent album. Spluge!

[ThrashMaster27]

Nice Transformer. Anyway, the new album is good, but it's not great. It's pretty much Painkiller mark 2 with a couple of dodgy songs.

[Deth]

But come on, Hellrider, Judas Rising, Lochness, Demonizer, Deal With The Devil and the other, less important tracks. Great album.

Thanks for the transformer compliment :).

[ThrashMaster27]

Hellrider and Deal With The Devil are worthy of going in the Priest top song Vault. It's kinda like Ram It Down for me. A lot of average songs, but a few amazing songs.

[Deth]

I don't have Ram it Down, so I can't comment. It's a rocking song though.

[ThrashMaster27]

Oh yeah, The alternating leads in Ram It Down are amazing. Possibly the best Priest solo piece. I wouldn't recommend getting Ram It Down unless you can pick it up nice and cheap.

[Deth]

I'm getting Metalogy once the old Birthday rolls around so I don't have to worry. It's a good warm up to the show.

[ThrashMaster27]

Bastard. That's all I can say on the matter. Why Priest haven't come to Australia is beyond me. It's these times I wish I was back in good old Blighty.

[Deth]

No Australia? I feel for you, I really do.

[Timidus]

I was pissed when I just recently found out that Judas Priest had been to The Netherlands in 2004 for Arrow Classic Rock Festival. And this year we get all kinds of weak crap, and no Priest....:(

[heavymetalrules4eva]

Priest rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone hear of iced earth?????? they rule!!!!!! Rippers with them now

[Riva]

I got Ram It Down for 10 bucks at Sanity. :D

However, it cost me 30 for Angel Of Retribution. :-/

[ThrashMaster27]

Same with me, apart from I got it from JB Hi-Fi. Angel of Retribution only cost me $21, but I didn't get the DVD version, so I wasn't too happy. So, does anybody know the story behind the suicide story involving Priest. I know it had something to to with Stained Class, but I'm not up on the whole thing.

NP: Judas Priest - Dissadent Aggressor

[Riva]

I think it was just some guy leaving the lyrics to Better By You, Better Than Me in his suicide note. Of course, that automatically means Judas Priest were sent by the devil to convince teenagers to take their own lives. :rolleyes:

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, I was reading about things like that in the newspaper. Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez and a lot of suicides. I dunno, it's weird how people take things so literally. I just read the Stained Class inlay and the song in question was Stained Class. Says it was two young men in Nevada, one survived and the other had horrific injuries.

[Deth]

I like Rob's reply to that.(Not word for word)

"They said we put "Do It" in the song. Do what? It could be anything, mow the lawn, do your homework."

God bless Halford.

NP: One Shot At Glory

[Six Foot Revolver]

I like Rob's reply to that.(Not word for word)

"They said we put "Do It" in the song. Do what? It could be anything, mow the lawn, do your homework."

God bless Halford.

NP: One Shot At Glory
:lol: I can't believe that they thought it was subliminal messages though

NP:Loch Ness

[Deth]

Yeah, it's pretty stupid when you think about it. Luckily the Judge wasn't an idiot and saw that it was a coincidence.

[Steerpike]

The ironic thing is that if you actually read Judas Priest's lyrics, they have several songs which are about fighting for what you believe in. As I've said before, they have an attitude of, "Life sucks, so I'm going to kick it's *** until it starts playing by my rules."

[Deth]

They are a very optimistic band (barring Stained Class) and while there lyrics are sometimes cliche, I like them just the same.

[derek47]

on the whole "invented speed metal thing", i don't really beleive anyone anymore when they say stuff llike that (korn claims to have revolutionized rock and roll-hell, maybe they did). I figure that you play what feels right, and let the industry call it what they want.
Anyhow, I think its safe to say that a)Rob Halford is pretty ugly b)they ALWAYS look ****ING AWESOME c) its a shame that they kicked ol' robbo out for being gay (where's the love?) and d) Rob Halford is an extremely talented/dedicated vocalist

Anyhow, I think its safe to say that a)Rob Halford is pretty ugly b)they ALWAYS look ****ING AWESOME c) its a shame that they kicked ol' robbo out for being gay (where's the love?) and d) Rob Halford is an extremely talented/dedicated vocalist

Right, are you up to speed on the music industry?

Also, they didn't invent Speed Metal, but they did bring it out of it's infancy.

[Steerpike]

c) its a shame that they kicked ol' robbo out for being gay (where's the love?)

Who told you this? And where do they live so I can firebomb their house?

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, I was gonna say, if they kicked him out for being gay I doubt he would have returned somehow.

[Riva]

I just realised, I have as many Judas Priest albums as I do Iron Maiden. Only Metallica and Pink Floyd are more numerous in my collection.

I only have the "British Steel" Album.

Misc. Commentary:
Do you think this sentence said by Halford is true?:

"America maybe create rock n' roll, but england create heavy metal'

Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Iron Maiden... yeah, I'd agree with that.

[Steerpike]

Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Iron Maiden... yeah, I'd agree with that.

Scorpions are actually German, though Michael Schenker did a lot of MSG's early work in London.

[Riva]

Scorpions are actually German, though Michael Schenker did a lot of MSG's early work in London.

Really? Well, I'd always assumed the accent was English. :-/

(Still, Germany is in Europe.)

[Deth]

I just have rediscovered Painkiller as one of my favorite albums ever. If anyone here doesn't have it, go get it.

[94_Hours]

Metal Meltdown is so fantactically amazing i can't properly describe it in words, also, im going to see them , has anyone seen them before?

[Rrrrrrr]

Erk, Priest are coming to Atlanta this June just when I'm not ****ing going to be here.

[Deth]

That sucks.

Here comes the metal meltdown, no one survives.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I just got painkiller and it is my new favourite Priest album :D

[Deth]

Yes yes yes. I love the Painkiller. Favorite tracks are Painkiller, All Guns Blazing and A Touch of Evil.

Thanks for the bump, we need to keep this alive until my concert.

[ThrashMaster27]

One shot at glory is the best on that album. I love it.

[Deth]

That is also a very good song. I love Painkiller this much.

/strechs arms to demonstrate

[Riva]

One Shot At Glory is just so power metally, it is easy to see that speed metal influenced power metal.

Favourite song off Painkiller: Probably Leather Rebel. \m/

So, Al Atkins is releasing a new album... Thoughts?

[Kronos]

Really? Well, I'd always assumed the accent was English. :-/

(Still, Germany is in Europe.)

AAAAAAAGRHHH! Did you really think englishmen sing "aweee" for "away" and "bleck-out" for "blackout"? God help me. You don't know many brits do you? :amaze:

[Riva]

AAAAAAAGRHHH! Did you really think englishmen sing "aweee" for "away" and "bleck-out" for "blackout"? God help me. You don't know many brits do you? :amaze:

Yep. I actually did. I also thought Rhapsody were from Germany, so sorry for my lack of accentual skills. :)

(Bloody poms and their 50 000 different accents).

[ThrashMaster27]

Aye, I can relate to that. If you go 10 minutes down the street in England you'll get a different accent. If you go anywhere in Ausland, you'll find that most people speak the same.

Funny thing though. My mate in Aus couldn't tell the difference in English accents.

[Riva]

Yeah, my Grandmother in Adelaide speaks a slighty crisper version of Australian, but it's still very much the same. Not like the difference between Northerners and Southerners and Welsh, and East London, and West London, and blah blah balh....

[Riva]

Just ordered Rocka Rolla off the net. I hope it turns out to be as good as I remember it being...

No word on Priest coming to Aus though. :(

[Brew]

Aye, I can relate to that. If you go 10 minutes down the street in England you'll get a different accent. If you go anywhere in Ausland, you'll find that most people speak the same.

Funny thing though. My mate in Aus couldn't tell the difference in English accents.

If you wander around Tipton (its near Brum) there's a different accent for every street. Sometimes the accent varies per household.

[ATC]

what's a good priest song that sounds like Judas Rising?
Its a pity that isnt the single off Angel Of Retribution.

[Riva]

Probably something off of Sin After Sin or Hellbent For Leather. You could also try A Touch Of Evil, from Painkiller.

[Deth]

I think that All Guns Blazing or Between The Hammer and the Anvil sound similar to Judas Rising.

One month until I see Priest :).

[JamieSomething]

Priest is good, Priest is very good
and..going to go see them, buahaha!
Fourth of July, can't f'in wait!

[Shout it Out]

Priest, in my opinion, is the best band that continuously evolves musically, like if you listen to 70's Preist, then to early 80's, then Ram it Down and Painkiller, then the new one Angel of Retribution, you notice how well they have gradually changed their music, but still maintain that Preist feel. I don't know anyone else who has done anything like that before.

[Riva]

I think that All Guns Blazing or Between The Hammer and the Anvil sound similar to Judas Rising.


The beat is a mite too fast, I think. And the phrasings a bit different. Still great songs though. :)

One month until I see Priest :).

Lucky bastards... :mad:

[PDD]

My favorite song is 'metal meltdown' They totally called it.

[hafez]

My favorite song is 'metal meltdown' They totally called it.

intro with the crosspicking/shredding is ****ing ridiculous

[Kronos]

Aye, I can relate to that. If you go 10 minutes down the street in England you'll get a different accent. If you go anywhere in Ausland, you'll find that most people speak the same.

Funny thing though. My mate in Aus couldn't tell the difference in English accents.

Another thing you may find amusing; I come from Suffolk as do all of my family and when we're abroad (and sometimes even in the UK) people often mistake me for an Australian because of my Suffolk accent. It happens a lot, honest. The accent isn't the same, and if you are Australian you wouldn't think so I'm sure but there are definite similarities. I did a bit of research and discovered that the majority of people transported to Oz actually came from London and East Anglia so it may be that the Oz "strine" developed from the accents of my area over the next 150 years!

[Kronos]

Yep. I actually did. I also thought Rhapsody were from Germany, so sorry for my lack of accentual skills. :)

(Bloody poms and their 50 000 different accents).

You're forgiven mate - no worries! :thumb:

*glares at RumBoy* get back to talking about Priest!

Has anyone except Lord Brummington seen Priest on this tour yet? I need another review.

[Riva]

Hehe, did you guys hear about Re-unleashed in the East? That'll be killer, especially with all the AoR and ripper era songs!

[Deth]

Yeah, sounds cool. I don't know if there will be any Ripper songs though. Not very popular are they? I thought the DVD was a British show though.

[Riva]

Re-unleashed in the East (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=37074)

I read in a book that the guitarist uses a bass string for the low E on his guitar. Is this true?

["5150"]

Well, if that's true then i'm very surprised. Playing with a regular sized bass string would be nuts.

[ArcLite]

I read in a book that the guitarist uses a bass string for the low E on his guitar. Is this true?

Everyone in the Guitar Forum says "No".

I think the guitarists use pretty thin strings actually.

They're amazing live.

[Deth]

I also want to see some more setlists. I need to prepare for this.

[Brew]

I'm guessing it'll be pretty much the same setlist that they did when I saw them.

I wonder if they'll ever play Lochness live.

[Deth]

I would love to see Lockness live.

I am going to check your setlist again.

Needs more Painkiller songs.

[Riva]

Give them a chance Brum, they've only toured with AOR songs for about 3 months now. :) It'd be great to see them live, though.

[Deth]

Thanks for the bump. We need to keep this alive until I see the show.

I've fallen in love with Exciter lately.

SCREW YOU MXICAN, I WAS GOING TO REVIEW PAINKILLER!!!

[Light_Fantastic]

Here's the latest info:

JUDAS PRIEST kicked off the North American leg of their world tour on Monday (May 30) at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The group's setlist was as follows:

01. Hellion/Electric Eye
02. Metal Gods
03. Riding on the Wind
04. Touch of Evil
05. Judas Rising
06. Revolution
07. Breaking the Law
08. I'm A Rocker
09. Diamonds and Rust (acoustic)
10. Deal with the Devil
11. Beyond the Realms of Death
12. Turbo Lover
13. Hellrider
14. Victim of Changes
15. Exciter
16. Painkiller
First Encore:
17. Hell Bent for Leather
18. Living after Midnight
Second Encore:
19. You've Got Another Thing Comin'

According to one concert attendee who contacted BLABBERMOUTH.NET, "[JUDAS PRIEST] played just under two hours to a crowd of around 10,000, The setlist, aside from the new songs and 'Exciter', was pretty generic for the most part and a bit disappointing. With such an extensive catalog, it sure would be nice if the band would pull out some different songs as opposed to the same old ones they seem to play 'live' all the time. It's just too predictable and included far too many repeats from last year's Ozzfest performance. [Rob] Halford struggled with his vocals, especially in the second half of the set."

[Deth]

Good setlist me thinks. I saw a really good set on metal-rules.com, I'll go and find it.

Here we go:
1. Intro – The Hellion
2. Electric Eye
3. Metal Gods
4. Riding on the Wind
5. The Ripper
6. A Touch of Evil
7. Judas Rising
8. Revolution
9. Hot Rockin’
10. Breaking the Law
11. I’m a Rocker
12. Diamonds and Rust (acoustic)
13. Deal with the Devil
14. Beyond the Realms of Death
15. Turbo Lover
16. Exciter
17. Victim of Changes
18. The Green Manalishi (with the Two Pronged Crown)
19. Painkiller
-----------------------------------------------------

20. Hell Bent for Leather
21. Living After Midnight
22. You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’

[Brew]

Are we going to be allowed to do a cover song for the competition thingy?

We could do Lochness :p

[Hauntedman]

Saw Priest at Hammersmith Apollo and was pleased beyond belief. Got right to the front but unfortunately didn't get any guitar picks etc off band. Extremely loud and heavy though - Priest are the best Heavy Metal band.

[Six Foot Revolver]

If I hadn't blown up my sound card I would help :(


Edit: Ah shi', we both play bass anyway

[Brew]

w00t.

[BassMasterMike88]

It seems like theres alot traditional metal bands putting out new material (Megadeth, the Crue, etc) and Priests work is the only stuff that has impressed me so far, Revolution great song.

[Deth]

Could you give us the setlist? I need to know this stuff.

[heavymetalrules4eva]

Wasn't it about Tim Owen's life?

bout what he did before he joined and how he ended up joinin the band, its not how he left them

[LedZeppFan83]

- I don't really like metal, but i tend to really like Judas Priest. I really like the songs "Revolution" and "You've Got Another Thing Commin". Theyre comming to Atlanta, GA. My friend and i might go see them.

[Brew]

Same as this mostly although they didn't do Exciter. They may have done Heavy Metal, but it was a couple of months ago and can't really remember.
They were awesome though.

So, do we want to do a official cover song for Judas Priest, for the thread (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=347154) that Kif is running?

I can play bass if ye want.

I don't know about Ram It Down. You think 2 people could actually attempt the monster duel of axes! If someone could actually pull it off it'd be a sure fire winner.

[Deth]

Bah. I play bass as well.

[Brew]

We could replace the dual attack guitars with dual attack basses...?

[Deth]

That would kick ***. I even have a Spector legend like Ian Hill.

[Riva]

What songs would you guys like to consider?

[Brew]

Starbreaker
Diamonds and Rust
Let Us Pray
Painkiller
Livin After Midnight
Nightcrawler

If Creeping_Deth wants to play bass he can, I'm already involved with the Sabbath thread and possibly AC/DC thread now.

[Michael_Angelo]

Priest Are Still ****ing

[Brew]

If ye ask me, all bands are still shitting, otherwise they'd all be a bit screwed.

[Kronos]

Priest Are Still ****ing


Is that sh**ing, f***ing, w*nking, tossing, screwing, nobbing, whoring, p*ssing, farting, or what? Or are they still cooking and that's a four letter word to you 'cos your mum does all yours? :confused:

[Brew]

:lol:

Cooking sounds about right, they probably get Halford to do it all for them! Whilst wearing a pink apron.

[Quiksilver26]

^ lmao, with him singing the high notes in metal meltdown :lol:

[Brew]

Imagine what the sound would be like if he burnt himself.

[Quiksilver26]

"i need a PAAAAIINN KILLEERRRR!!!"








yeah i know it's lame :)lol

[Riva]

:lol: Nice one guys. :)

[Deth]

I'm up for a cover, but we are missing everything except a bassist and singer.

[Riva]

I'm up for a cover, but we are missing everything except a bassist and singer.

Hmmm... I'll see if GurS wants to do some Judas Priest drumming...

Any Judas Priest fans who play guitar? And have a recording device, that is. :)

[Deth]

I doubt we'll find any. May have to search the guitar forum.

On another note, I am trying to sing my way through Painkiller and failing horribly.

[Riva]

Haha, my voice is so hoarse, after I sang that song, and Metal Meltdown.

[Deth]

It's weird, I attempted to sing my way through that album today and then tried doing Blackwater Park by Opeth. On different ends of the spectrum aren't they?

I love Summer.

[Riva]

So, I tried Living After Midnight, and it went out really well.

On another note, what do you prefer, Sad Wings Of Destiny, or Hellbent For Leather/Killing Machine?

[Quiksilver26]

ahhhh there'd better be more of these competitions, because i play guitar (though i would probably only be able to handle anything pre-screaming for vengeance :upset: ), but currently have no recording devices :angry:

[Deth]

Bump, because of my awesome avatar.

Bump, because watch for my Unleashed In The East review tomorrow.

Bump, because Priest needs a cover song.

[TojesDolan]

Painkiller?

Everyone knows it and the solo, if well nailed, Is a great crowd pleaser.

[Deth]

We don't have a guitarist though.

Or a drummer.

[4yearpro?]

i c them this friday, i cant wait

[Deth]

Kewl. Give us a setlist afterwards for us.

[Riva]

I'm thinking: Living After Midnight, Breaking The Law, and Painkiller. Aaand, if people want to: either Ram It Down, Green Manalishi, or maybe something off AOR or SWOD.

[Deth]

I'm up for anything. But we are still lacking a guitarist and drummer.

Shoo, go and find one.

[naboo]

Oooh wow, I just saw Priest last night in Boston at the Tweeter Center with Queensryche. They were ****ing amazing!!! Anyone else go that show?


Oh and they played Exciter which was a treat for me!

[RCA]

You guys should cover Beyond The Realms of Death. If someone nails that solo note for note, I will be your MX slave forever and ever.

We COULD, but where is the fun in that?

[naboo]

Jewish Priest, your name made me laugh. I like you.

Hellion/Electric Eye
Hellrider
Beyond The Realms of Death
Revolution
Exciter
Breaking The Law
Turbo Lover
Judas Rising
Diamonds and Rust
Deal With The Devil
Hell Bent For Leather
Painkiller
You've Got Another Thing Coming

That's most of it (not in order).

Good setlist. I hope I get Beyond The Realms Of Death.

Oh yeah, speaking of which, I'm SEEING PRIEST TONIGHT!!!

Bump from page 10.

I saw Priest at Jones Beach last Friday and they kicked a$$. The best show I have ever seen.

[4yearpro?]

ye i was there 2 , it was so awesome, btw it was my 1st concert

[dr._feelgood]

I was there too, but Halford's voice seemed a little off. He looked like his back hurt or something.

[Deth]

Alright, 'tis the night after my Priest show, and all I can say is wow. They pulled everything off perfectly, Halford sounded great, hitting everything (with the exception of a few in Excite) and it was a night to remember.

The setlist was:

The Hellion/Electric Eye
Metal Gods
A Touch Of Evil
I'm A Rocker
Diamonds And Rush (Acoustic)
Breaking The Law
Judas Rising
Deal With The Devil
Revolution
Hellrider
Beyond The Realms Of Death (Highlight of show, Rob pointed straight to me when I gave him the devil horns)
Painkiller
Victim Of Changes
Turbo Lover
Exciter
--------
Hellbent For Leather
Living After Midnight
You Got Another Thing Comin'

There was one other song, but I hadn't heard it before. The word 'burning' was said a lot in it.

Needless to say, it was fantastic, and I'm wearing my AoR tour shirt right now.

I'll try to upload some pics soon.

Setlist

That sounded like one KILLER show! They played all of my favorites there, and Beyond The Realms Of Death would've been my highlight as well. I'm hoping to see them soon, maybe they'll blow me away like they did for you.

Have they played The Ripper since they've reformed? I'm wondering if Rob can still hit the falsetto in the word "shock". :eek:
