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

[QUOTE=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 leather 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.[/QUOTE]

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.

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.

[QUOTE=Rrrrrrr]Tony Martin's stuff is prety good too.

Has anyone ever seen [url=http://members.firstinter.net/markster/index.html]this site[/url]? There's some pretty interesting stuff on it. I never knew that they've never performed [I]The Hellion[/I] 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 bast[font=]a[/font]rd.[/QUOTE]
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!

I prefer Scott by a long shot.

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

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

Plus, I just like the double bass.

i like em both! :lol:

:D Good to know.

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

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

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

its tought to choose but i think i like Scott better

[quote]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.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Sad, isn't it.[/QUOTE]
yup
when was he convicted? and how long was he sent down for?

I think he was sentenced this January. Eight years.

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

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)

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

What country is that?

Pennsylvania is PA, so it'd be America.

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

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

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

No, nothing yet.

Thanks for bumping though :).

Got tickets finally!

: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?

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.

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.

The best Priest cover is Jonny B. Goode.

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

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

[QUOTE=ToRidTheDisease]Anyone know if Halford used effects on his voice in the chorus of Judas Rising?[/QUOTE]

i dont think he did

but a great tune

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

i dont know demonizer drums beg to differ

eh, laiho?

Tis' me.

i love all of the new album

and the dvd

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.

Though that cover is awesome too, I far prefer The Green Manalishi.

[QUOTE=Rrrrrrr]Though that cover is awesome too, I far prefer The Green Manalishi.[/QUOTE]
The green manalishi is a cover?

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

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

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

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Try getting Ram It Down. Quite the awesome album. Hell Bent For Leather and Turbo are also excellent.[/QUOTE]
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.
