You know Kia, you will likely get a multitude of responses to that question..each of them different! I know what sets them apart for me. I have always said that it is the melodic nature of their music and the lyrics which are thoughtful and never profane. I find that particularly refreshing since it is all too common for bands to resort to one four-letter word after another when they write songs. Priest do not do that. They do not need to. They combine thoughtful lyrics with melodic riffs and a pounding low-end that never overshadows the main riff. It always "stays in the pocket".
Priest started coming on strong at a time when punk was gaining strength and I think they literally saved "hard" rock music. Their image launched a revolution and, through it all, they kept a sound that many have tried to imitate yet no one has. Not in the same manner as Priest! For me, these are the reasons I prefer Judas Priest. I could certainly think of more but I think these are the main reasons.

Hey everyone- apologies for my lack of presence this last week- one of our rabbits got very sick and it seems like I've spent the whole time trying to force feed him liquid food with a dropper (very messy!) but he's much better now, fingers crossed.
Anyhow, my main problem tonight as a certain essay for my uni course that I believe I mentioned to a few of you ages back on online music fan communities and since the time to write it has finally come (because the deadline is next week- eeek..!)- and I wondered if any of you guys could possibly help with this?
I'd like to know what it is you feel is most important about Priest's music and what sets them apart from other bands?
I don't want to take up anybody's time, I would have put this in a separate thread but its not really important enough for that (its just a 1000 word essay); I know that this website is a great example of a place where people from everywhere can come together and share their love of music without prejudice, so this is a kind of tribute, if you see what I mean.
Hope you're all having a great weekend and it's warming up some. All our snow suddenly melted, though we may be due some more.. Edited at: Saturday, January 16, 2010 6:25:49 PM

I did take him to a music store before Christmas and he was kind of mesmerized by all the stuff in there. He did get a kick out of trying out the drum kits, but they were adult size. It's good that you got your son a real kit, because I think people waste their money on those ones from the toy store. They're not nearly sturdy enough for a kid to pound on. The only drumming we've done here is on Guitar Hero World Tour. It gives him a bit of an idea of what it's all about. I'd like the boys to learn real instruments though. Thanks a lot for the advice. I think I'll sign him up for some lessons and rent a kit to see how it goes. HAVE A GREAT DAY METALHEADS!

At 8 years oldhe's figured out what is getting his attention and the sooner you start the better. Drum notations are easier to read than any other sheet music but I suggest you get him to some formal lessons asap. Piano is also good and well, every boy wants a guitar lol. Also if he can figure out his timing now from drums my theory is that it will be easier for him to grasp another instrument but you'd hate to get him something that he has no iterest in. You get the most amazing children's drum kits' The one we're getting Zakk comes from a music store (as opposed to a toy store) It is a direct replica of my kit and it has amazing sound. The children's kits usually come with a throne, hi-hats, crash and the hardware. Take him to a music store and let him get a feel there.

Hi Guardian Angel.. They are pretty much full time now. Last year they were at a playschool and it was 5 days a week but they went 8am to 12:30 pm. Now the go from 8am to 3pm.
As much as I sorely need the extra time in my day, I am missing them something fierce! And I'm soo tired this week! I think I'm having a harder time to adjust than they are (don't get me wrong this is a fantastic thing) lol. I'm just really lost without them around. But I'll get over it lol.

It's so cute seeing all the little kids in their swimming caps and gears all swimming in a structured class lol.
Becks, how is your sister in law after her wreck? I can totally identify with what she may be feeling now. I had a pretty bad crash when I was 22. The car was a total write off and it took me a few years to get the courage up to drive again. Once I got back behind the wheel, I was pretty nervous for a while but in time, it did go. I'm much more careful now and much calmer. Give her time, don't pressure her to talk about it but be there for her when she needs to talk about it.

The teachers are very big on teaching them independance etc so they ask that we just drop them at the door, kiss them goodbye and then leave. No walking in with them, carrying their backpacks for them or even carrying the kid into school.. which is pretty much what I did at their old school lol. So this morning, we get to school, they grab their backpacks, barely notice I'm there waiting for my kiss and are clampering into the school all full of wonder and excitement..

Joe - she's ok so far as we know, Craigs mum just said she is feeling very sorry for herself and upset that she hurt her boyfriend (he is just bruised). You're right, she'll talk when she wants to. She's going to the AC/DC concert with us in two weeks, hopefully by then she will be feeling a bit better about things, and may even have a new car. The one she wrote off she'd had for about 10 years, so she had plenty of use out of it. She's just needing to replace it sooner than planned now!

I'm so glad you met a South African on your cruise Guido! And welcome back. I started replying yesterday but poof! My keyboard had other plans lol. So I'm on my trusty old laptop now. Well, I like to think that most South Africans are pretty friendly people and I bet if you'd ask she would have said she was a metal head! lol (I can't be the only one right? lol)
Well good morning peeps! Man is it cold here. LOL!
Yeah, I just got back, Vail. Overall, a nice little trip. República Dominicana, St. Thomas, British Virgin Isles (BVI) and the Bahamas. I got limited news on the boat but saw that the majority of the country is gripped in a cold spell. I'll spare the membership from pics of me peeling from too much sun. JP cross pics to come, though, in the pics of you thread.
I love cruises because you meet people from all over the world. My favorite? A woman from South Africa. Made me think of you, JoeD, every time she spoke as I have had limited contact with the accent prior to meeting her. Too cool. Never got a chance to ask about her tastes in music, but still...
Ok, a few pics to come once I unpack a bit. Until then, a big "happy birthday" to those friends that I missed. Know that I was thinking of you! HAAAAA!

I'm surprised I didn't feel anything at all and I'm only about 1.5 hours south of Chico. Very strange...
Becks. It really sucks if what you said about Haiti is true. All the more reason it should receive a good amount of aid. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, January 12, 2010 10:27:19 PM)

You know, my cousin in Chico mentioned that they had a bit of a shaker. Way north, right?
Still, they build and expect shakers there as they do here. Ever look at the data sheets? Surprised me to see that the biggest US earthquakes were CA and TN! I would have guessed CA but Tennessee? Yup. Biggest lake to me is Reelfoot that was formed when a massive shaker got the Mississippi flowing backwards for a time in the 1800s.

I am guessing that it will be bad once they access the damage. I knew they had a fault line running under the country but a 7.0 is going to be massive in certain parts of the country as they didn't build to withstand such damage. I sit on the New Madrid fault and even have earthquake insurance.

I love cruises because you meet people from all over the world. My favorite? A woman from South Africa. Made me think of you, JoeD, every time she spoke as I have had limited contact with the accent prior to meeting her. Too cool. Never got a chance to ask about her tastes in music, but still...
Ok, a few pics to come once I unpack a bit. Until then, a big "happy birthday" to those friends that I missed. Know that I was thinking of you! HAAAAA!

Welcome back Guido! Hope you had a great time!
Just talking to my mother in law on the phone, finding out the details about Craigs sisters car crash on sunday night - she crashed her car and it's written off, thankfully she and her boyfriend are ok. Poor thing is feeling sorry for herself though, which is understandable. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Monday, January 11, 2010 11:41:08 AM)

Are your kids full time? That was my big eye opener. All this "free time"! I think it's great that your kids ran in without a second thought. At least you know they'll be ok, and they didn't go crying and clinging to your leg. Don't worry, they still need you!

Good morning peeps!
It's Monday morning, my kids are back at school and I feel a little lonely (crazy, I know lol)
They're just growing up way too fast for my liking. They started their first day at their new schoo. This is more of a preprimary than a play school so now the structure really begins. The teachers are very big on teaching them independance etc so they ask that we just drop them at the door, kiss them goodbye and then leave. No walking in with them, carrying their backpacks for them or even carrying the kid into school.. which is pretty much what I did at their old school lol. So this morning, we get to school, they grab their backpacks, barely notice I'm there waiting for my kiss and are clampering into the school all full of wonder and excitement.. Had to steal a kiss on their cheeks as they rushed past me lol.
Omg! I've turned into one of those mothers who cope less with new school changes than the children do lol.

hey Spapad reason i asked is because my mom had the same problem with her car untill i bought her this baby for christmas last year
not enough power in the battery to start the car or the battery goes dead just hook this thing right up to the battery terminals .its been used quite a bit and has never failed.not to expensive this one was on sale.might want to keep it in mind.
Thanks for asking Hellrider, it's been stuborn to start but it really does much better than the factory batteries I'm used to. Tomorrow is suppose to be up to 33 degrees! Should be feeling like Sunny Palm Beach after the past few weeks! I Can't wait! (Quoting Message by hellrider 31038 from Sunday, January 10, 2010 9:07:10 AM)

Wanted to say "Hello" to you and see what is happening. Ron, VERY sorry to hear it, my friend. Please know I am rooting for him. Hang tough, man. I do know how it is. Justin, always great to see you back on the Board. Wish you would not be such a stranger!
Well, I am off to see what I can do about this diabolic device.

Yup, things have been quiet around here. A good thing considering all the crapola that occured in the past few months. Hope your dad recovers quickly!!
Has anyone noticed how the "members online" thing is now always at 0? I wonder why?

Yeh....MIGHT happen...hold your breath...g'head...see if it does....
...at least it's quiet...the college kids are still home/abroad for the holidays for the most part...when they all come back is when my schedule changes and I get to see some different necks of the 'woods' for a little while....then, long about March or so, I'll be bitching about how burned out I am on it...LMAO!!!!

The last few days/weeks leading up to a big gig are always the most exciting, I hope the anticipation never exceeds the result- though it's AC/DC so I bet you'll have a great time Becks.
Our cat is quite vocally disgusted about the weather- I can't blame her, especially after a weather station 10 minutes down the road apparently recorded -18C (?!) last night making us slightly colder than Moscow. Currently I am watching the frost form on the inside of the window pane. Hope others out there are enjoying better weather!

Ahhh my sister was telling me this morning (she lives in London) that parts of the UK have been colder than Moscow, and that this is the coldest winter the UK has had in 30 years. I hope you and your family are staying warm and safe! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by kiamat from Thursday, January 07, 2010 4:47:58 PM)

Those kitty booties look hilarious! The cat doesn't look too impressed though. I got an email photo of an extremely angry and wet looking cat, and the caption says something like "This cat is gonna f*ck somebody up". I believed it!
