I can also see those titles. They don't seem to be breaking any new ground lyrically. It's like Halford has been writing "in character" since Ram It Down. Even the love/relationship songs sound like the Metal God singing about human emotions. Out in the Cold was the last one that sounded like a real person. It was written just before his boyfriend's suicide and his own overdose.

Panic Attack
The Serpent and the Sins
Invincible Shield
I think I was wrong about one. I saw somewhere else and it’s The Serpent and the King, not sins.
I think the third one is "bass guitars"..Psychobolia.com wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 12:05 pm And 3 guit players are listed, so they're trying to copy Maiden haha
I would agree...I'm sure Andy is just a live fill and not part of the official band...krisholmes wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 3:57 pmI think the third one is "bass guitars"..Psychobolia.com wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 12:05 pm And 3 guit players are listed, so they're trying to copy Maiden haha
They’re not trying to copy anything, they have to put Glenn’s name on there so people will buy it. I doubt he played shit on it.Psychobolia.com wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 12:05 pm And 3 guit players are listed, so they're trying to copy Maiden haha
What? This is Judas Priest. Their audience may be old physically but they are emotionally and mentally stunted (myself included).El Vampiro Blanco wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 11:45 am That cover looks to be aimed at 15 year olds who collect comic books.

If he can play the encores at Powertrip, he can go to the studio and lay down a few solos especially as he can then choose his good days to come in and play.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:33 pmThey’re not trying to copy anything, they have to put Glenn’s name on there so people will buy it.

Nothing about RNRHOF on there, since they sort of got in on a technicality or whatever the hell it was.jens wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 3:55 am
This is the announcement on their website:
Invincible Shield is the nineteenth studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. Announced onstage at PowerTrip festival in California, the new record marks the band’s first release in 6 years, having recently celebrated 50 years in music and 50 million records sold. Judas Priest is Rob Halford, Ian Hill, Glenn Tipton, Scott Travis and Richie Faulkner.
It's absolutely okay for Glenn to turn up whenever he can, he never left the band like Downing did, he just stepped down from touring. They were very clear about that from the start. Sneap's their producer and fill in guitarist. Maybe they should have asked Downing back, maybe not, but his quitting the band was a completely different circumstance than Tipton being forced to take a backseat because of his health.Ziggy Sawdust wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 5:17 am So it’s ok for Glenn to turn up when he feels like but not Ken, but it’s ok for the balding producer to play- who hardly no one knows -growing out what hair he has left? Not buying this album, fuck all this old age- playground bullshit. I’ll stream it at best.
Yes, AND, apparently KK was a total pain in the ass to deal with at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Charles Bukaki wrote: ↑Sun Oct 08, 2023 1:05 pmIt's absolutely okay for Glenn to turn up whenever he can, he never left the band like Downing did, he just stepped down from touring.
