I agree with everyone else, the band owes us NOTHING! And yep, the sense of entitlement is one of societies biggest problems by far. Get over yourself I say.

Well, you need to remember that Rob left the band in 1991 and did not return until 2003. Therefore, 13 of these compilations were released during his abscence and 6 of them were released during the time when Priest had no leader singer and everyone was wondering if they were done. The record company was trying to keep their name out there so they were not forgotten in hopes that they did make a return, which THANKFULLY they did! Haven't you ever noticed that the CD stores only carry RECENT CD's lately? Releasing a best of every other year or so keeps their CD space filled rather than empty. These releases are NOT for the hardcore fans like us that already own every album. They are out there in hopes of attracting NEW fans. So what is wrong with that? Of all that you have listed, I only own Metalogy for my collection. Why would I bother with the others when I own everything in their catalog including all the remasters as well? They aren't making you buy anything!

Priest owes us a good show where they aren't messed up and they deliver the goods. They NEVER, and I repeat NEVER, disappoint when it comes to a show. We could argue all day about what songs they should play and never make everyone happy. They love their fans and show us that by touring all over the place and staying on the road for over a year at a time! They have given me more than I could ever ask for: incredible music and incredible shows that I will never forget!

I absolutely LOATHE this sense of entitlement that seems to pervade society today. We see it at all levels and, I feel, had a great deal to do with our current fiscal problems.

Makes me sick to see it here too. As HB said, they owe us NOTHING! Don't want it (can't afford it), don't buy it. Just that simple.

pay attention now.  THE BAND OWES YOU NOTHING!!! you buy an album, you get an album.  you buy 10 you get 10.  you go to 100 shows, you get memories.  thats it.  there is no guarantee or obligation of a future performance, album or anything.   you may now return to your coma.

I totally agree with you Joe... Not really anything else to add. What you said sums up how I feel about Priest.

VERY VERY WELL SAID Joe!!! I couldn't agree with you more. And yes, I will cherish my Priest collection for the rest of my life too!

No no no, you don't get it. At all.

Its not as easy as "digging it up and releasing it". Not by a long shot. The band have released EVERY single concert they've filmed professionally. They've officially stated this many times.

There is NO footage from Unleashed in the East. OR ANYTHING from that time period. NOTHING is official, anything that DOES exist is bootleg or just a few second live performance taped by the BBC or some shit.

THE FOOTAGE DOES NOT EXIST. GET OVER IT.

And no, the majority of us here are NOT fan boys or girls that will buy everything they release. That is so STUPID.

I haven't bought A TOuch of Evil: Live yet, am I fan boy? I Don't overly want to buy it either. I guess according to your theory that instantly makes me not a fan boy.

As for those of us that DO buy every single release the band puts out is because #1, they love the band and will support it to no end, you CANNOT bring someone down for supporting something. That is childish and pathetic.

#2 They have a broader sense of musical acceptability and are NOT "elitists" like you seem to be. They simple have a broader range of music they enjoy, and whether you like it or not doesn't mean its wrong, what you like and dont like is your opinion, it can also make you extremely close minded at the same time. If you listen to a lot of other stuff besides typical metal, forget everything I just said.

#3 Some of us are collectors, its NICE to be able to show off something, like a collection of great music. Buying shit releases is involved in that, but thats all subjective and extremely opinion based.

The band owes us nothing. They give us quality releases (could be better though) nearly every year. They tour the world almost EVERY YEAR many times over just to show the fans there love. Thats all the band can do for us, give us a great live show while they still can, and give us great releases while they still can because once there gone thats all we have left. Personally I'm gonna treasure my Priest collection once Priest are done. Are you?

I remember that about a year or so ago the band had a message up here saying that their previous record label had started releasing albums that looked like new ones and were actually just repackaged best-ofs: they suggested that it wasn't worth buying them as you wouldn't be getting anything new. The band do their best but sadly they don't own the rights to the music.

Record companies are responsible for the majority of what you posted. If they can make a dime off a band's back cattaloug they will.
Strange how you seem to think though because you bought a few CDs the band owes you some sort of individual debt. You want to bitch about the number or released "bests" then don't buy them. No one asked you to. Ask the record company why they release so many of them, not the band.

Wow,that is very overkill. And yeah,the next album will determine the band's career,if it sucks I don't think they will recover from it to tell you the truth.And yeah,Nostradamus was terrible,just unacceptable from Judas Priest man.

This board is for fans of Judas Priest, not fans of themselves. If you don't know the difference maybe you need to go see a psychologist.

Amen J.D. Diamond! Amen brother!

 

They really should release a few killer albums. But I don't think it’s going to happen. When you look at the past two decades you will see that Judas Priest has not been busy putting out new killer material. On the contrary: they prefer to make a quick buck by recycling their older material over and over again. You want proof? Judas Priest has released more than 20 crappy best of albums between 1989 and 2009. I'm not kidding. I actually took the time to look it up, because it's absolutely mind-boggling:

1. Playlist: The Very Best of Judas Priest (2008)
2. Original Album Classics (2008)
3. Judas Priest (2008)
4. Hit Collection (2007)
5. The Essential Judas Priest (2006)
6. Metalogy (2004)
7. Metalogy Box Set Sampler (2004)
8. Deliverin' The Goods (2003)
9. Limited Edition Collector's Box (2001)
10. Limited Edition Collector's Sampler (2001)
11. Breaking The Law (2001)
12. Genocide (2000)
13. Simply The Best (1999)
14. Priest Live And Rare (1998)
15. The Best Of Judas Priest: Living After Midnight (1998)
16. Prisoners Of Pain (1996)
17. Judas Priest Star Box (1993)
18. Metal Works '73-'93 (1993)
19. Pure Classic Gold (1993)
20. Star Box Collection (1992)
21. The Sharpest Cuts (1991)
22. Super Best Judas Priest Collection (1990)
23.
Trouble Shooters (1989)

They force feed us the same old tired shit. I think since we paid for their lavish lifestyles we deserve better! All I can say is that the songs on the next album better be REALLY FUCKING GOOD. Priest better have learned from the turd-coaster known as Nostradamus.
