He made two pretty good studio albums in a row now so why not? And it was just as unexpected as the last two Priest after the disasters Redeemer and Nostradamus.

I would switch out a couple of songs, but Crossfire, I'm Leaving You, and The Same Thrill are big wins To me it's a WTF setlist. They play all of LAFS including the two crap tunes above (I love I'm Leaving You) but skip one of the better songs, As Soon As the Good Times Roll. And no Alien Nation, N...

Anyone know the guitar players? Metal Archives lists these two guys, but there's not much on their CV. The one dude is a Swiss that played for Blaze in 2011.

When you go to a show like this, do you feel like you're watching Vandenberg ? Or do you feel like you're watching a really good bar band with Adrian Vandenberg sitting in? I would feel like I am watching Candlemass, Treat, Swedish Erotica frontman Mats Levén backed by a bar band with one guy who w...

I could tell something weird about Rob as far back as when i first heard of judas priest in first grade. I aint even shittin'. He wasnt like the other rockstars. Then years later when I found out he was gay it all made since. I'll always like Judas Priest but he's always kinda creeped me out. Your ...

KISS with Vincent. That first VVI as a Kiss album would have been fantastic. Great songs, no high whiney singer and no ridiculous guitar solos. According to the book Time Traveler, Vinnie demoed five songs for the next Kiss album with Hirsh Gardner on drums in early 1984 and according to Gardner, V...

I was running the math trying to work how half of Judas Priest was gay. Same. Can a member be half gay? Or if Snip is also in the band then the math holds up. Which leaves us wondering who the two other gays are; I'm going with Snip and Travis; Ian is too ugly to be a gay, Tipton was slaying the ma...

Honestly, I'm struggling to allow myself to listen to Priest since I'm completely convinced that Halford raped Jani Lane. Fuck him. What evidence there are saying it was Rob? Didn't $tevil say it wasn't Halford or laugh it off when someone suggested it first? The Bobbi Brown comments do point towar...

A 6 yr old!!....dude should never see the light of day. Did he write "Sixth Form Girls" off Strong Arm Of The Law? :) Although sixth graders may be too old for him... and Christine Sixteen would be a right MILF for Mr. Dawson. He's not the only Saxon member with a taste for young girls by...

A 6 yr old!!....dude should never see the light of day. Probably not an isolated incident either. Also.. 23 million albums sold?? Cmon now. 2.3 million is still pushing it. A lot. Remember Saxon has a ton of albums out. Over 20 studio albums, 10-15 live albums, a load of compilations. They don't ha...

Vinnie Vagina gets my vote! Saxon: pedo music! A.C.A.B.: What do those initials stand for? I see ACAB graffitti all over Paris, all cops are bastards, spray-painted by commie/anarchist garbage... Always Carry a Bible, according to my evangelical friends. Another vote for VaVI although I suspect the...

Do you guys think Jack doesn't know what's going on? He's not senile but everyone else is to blame because he won't face reality. It's no different than Paul DiAnno, Ozzy, Bon Jovi or Paul Stanley. One of them is not like the others. Di'Anno was on welfare and in prison, and needs to pay for surger...

Heavy Metal sure has become an EMBARRASSMENT over the past few years!! For Christ sake, please STOP! Great White, Motley Crue, Ratt, Skidrow, Judas Priest and many more. PLEASE fucking stop!! How can you include Judas Priest in there? Priests new record is great and they are sounding awesome live. ...

Even as a VHtard, I have to agree. Ed VH had no business singing and they wouldn't even have made it to Gazzari's with him singing.

Cool. Good that he's playing classic Priest again.

Saw him in London 8 years ago and he was playing a local festival with folk rock band Kindred Spirit in Richmond, a wealthy suburb. About two other people in the crowd seemed to know that a former Judas Priest member was playing.

That’s a lot of reading First try made past Vega Will try again later I get why this is interesting but article of same style with Bulletboys- Cinderella - Great White would be more my speed Nice success for 3 years then dealing with life I'd rather read about Izzy Stradlin, Gregg Giuffria and John...

No don't think it was. "Give Me All Your Love" had just come out as a single. Great White opened. Never heard of them redoing Burning Heart - was it rejected/shelved? Yes, they tried that and one more old Whitesnake song Ain't Gonna Cry No More for SOTT but ended up not using them. IIRC, ...

Yeah true the whole 87 thing was such a Frankenstein that it's amazing that they were able to got on tour and put those songs over as well as they did. BTW they did a headlining leg in early 88 too, which I saw and they were great. Which Vandenberg song did they rework? "Burning Heart" of...

Hell yeah... between them, Viv and Vandy couldn't write a commercial jingle, which is why Viv quit and SyVy got paid a million dollars to rescue SOTT under cover of Adrian's "arthritis". Remember that the whole line-up was hired to play in videos and tour with an album that was already ou...

Don Dokken (solo band with Norum, Billy White, and Ken Mary) When was Mary in DD's solo band? AFAIK they started with Swedish drummer Hempo Hildén (who also was in John Norum's solo band) and did some photos and demos with him, and for the album and tour they had another Swede, Mikkey Dee. Anyway w...

IMO, shredding is not KISS-like at all. KISS needed a rock guitarist, not a heavy metal guitarist. They were never a metal band, although some of their songs are metal or at least metal-ish. When Mark was fired, Bruce was the guy, because he could be flashy, but that wasn't the only thing in his ba...

Because Turbo was a top 3 Priest album. Turbo stunk. Painkiller was terrible. Terrible is a bit harsh but it's very average. Much better than Ram It Down which I guess you mean was the album that stunk. Turbo is indeed a top 3 Priest album after SFV and Stained Class. I’d say RiD and Painkiller are...

Good fucking call. Try ABBA. Lol...that's one of my "late discovery" bands, ABBA's Gold best of comp kicks ass.= Yeah. I wasn't really kidding, haha. Gold is gold indeed and I love the "new" track on there, I Am the City. But if you like Gold you should try the studio albums. Th...

Is Under MY Gun by Icon close enough?

From the list, chose Kiss over Motörhead.

I am now looking forward to a KISS museum next to the ABBA museum... walking distance from where I live

Same here, discovering old stuff I never got around listening to. Discovered the 70's Heart albums recently.... Any good? Where to start? I discovered Heart in the 80s and thought that the s/t was their debut... not knowing they were huge in the US for a decade before that. Will see them for the fi...

I listen to music a lot less these days. The new stuff I find is usually old stuff I haven't heard before. This. Late 2010s and 2020s music just doesn't do it for me. At least not now but I have discovered some 80s and 90s band I missed back in the day. This way maybe I'll discover some great 2020s...

How could we forget Judas Priest, "Painkiller," following the twin shitshows of "Turbo" and "Ram it Down?" Because Turbo was a top 3 Priest album. Turbo stunk. Painkiller was terrible. Terrible is a bit harsh but it's very average. Much better than Ram It Down which I ...

Anyway, funny enough I found this podcast with him and he literally starts the podcast by telling the story about how his great-grandfather or grandfather (he's not sure which) was named Szabo and the z got dropped at Ellis Island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQf2yNJJveY Makes sense.
