When did I say I liked Vince Neil? What I said was the first two Motley albums were good and the album they released without Vince was their best and they should have stuck with that line up instead of getting squeaky Vince back. Then I posted a Vince album in the Crappy Album thread as an example of how bad he is.

One more thing JD D. I heard KK Dowing on Bruce Dickenson's little metal readio program this April. KK said he thought fans would llike to have a cross between British Steel and Painkiller. Maybe that's a clue as to the direction Priest will take when they go in to the studio. Whatever happens I'm sure Priest will punch us in the face with a killer metal cd. If the next one is potentially their last then they'll hit it as hard as they can guaranteed!
I don't apologise for liking RATT, they're a good band. I like Priest a lot better. Quality is in the ear of the beholder simple as that

I know you put (in genreal) but thats riding off the 1980's dude,Motorhead & Saxon absolutely CRUSH Judas Priest in the 00's.
Judas Priest has the horrible "Demolition" 2001, the awsome Angel Of Retribution 2005 and the lame Nostradamus 2008 so they only have one great album in 10 years.
Motorhead has We Are Motorhead 2000, Hammered 2002, Inferno 2004, Kiss Of Death 2006, and Motorizer 2008 wich are all great Motorhead albums.
Saxon has Killing Ground 2001, Lionheart 2004, The Inner Sanctum 2007 and Into The labyrinth 2009 wich like Motorhead are all great Saxon albums.
Motorhead and Saxon have put out far batter releases than Judas Priest not only in the 00's but in the 90's as well man(except for 1990 Painkiller album)
I highly disagree with what you are saying unless you keep it in the 80's or 70's.

Well if those days are "long gone" then Judas Priest should pack it up and hang up thier leathers and go golfing. I would rather see them "QUIT" then put out another rehashed-rearraged-remixed and remastered album that I already freaking have!! YUK! I don't NEED another freaking British Steel album!! There are plenty of British Steel albums/cds out there they don't need to sell it again.
The rest of 2010 is going to be "British Steel" and then it will linger into 2011,hell maybe they will do a British Steel tour part 2 in 2011 and scrap any ideas of writting a new album? And after the tour they can put out another DVD of the British Steel tour part 2,2011? And hey,they can make that one last untill 2015,wait.....2020 that way they can milk this British Steel till the end of thier career,fuck.
Motorhead and Saxon keep putting brand new studio albums out every 2 years on the nose and still manage to tour and put out DVDs ect...so why in the fuck can't Priest do this? Its a "shame".
Motorhead started in 1977 with thier first album,3 years after Judas Priest started with Rocka Rolla in 1974.Saxon started in 1979, 5 years after Judas Priest and Judas Priest has 15 studio albums while Motorhead has 19 studio albums out and Saxon has 18 studio albums out. Priest is slacking.

As far as Priest is concern, I agree in that I am a bit tired of all the remasters of their music in recent years.

Judas Priest has well earn the right to rest as long as they want and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Understandably as hard core fans we still long for the days when Preist treated us with a fresh album every year but those days are long gone.

Hey man I've been accused of being an Iron Maiden "fanboy"(fanboyism) around here many a time!! lol!!! And from what i've read you seem to ba a serious Rob Halford "fanboy" and I don't mean that in a negative way or anything but thats just how it seems. So I feel your pain here man. Really I do!! So if you want to go out and buy all of these new remasters and bonus tracks then I say go for it man! Heck!! Buy 10 of each one if you've got the money!!! Enjoy!

Oh my lord man you just cant take no for answer can you?
Remixing an album (that needed it badly) thats over a decade old to release again because it is out of print isn't a cash grab.
Of course he's selling it. Why wouldn't he.............. it costs a lot of money to make this stuff........
Rock In Rio isn't an album........... its a DVD. There is no official audio release for that............. the two live Halford albums are Live Insurrection and Live In Anaheim. Holy fuck man.
Whats the problem with purchasing the same album (a way better version) that you bought for probably half the price over a decade ago? Again, Cheap fucker.
No 95% of the time is exaggerating a bit dont you think? I've heard many bonus tracks from tons of bands that are better then most of the songs on the album. There's a difference between Japanese bonus tracks and putting stuff on that you shelved 30 years ago.
I will enjoy my brand new products and the re-released ones as well. Because now, I dont have to inconvience myself getting that extra content because its ALL on one package. And it sure as fuck isn't expensive either.

Ok.
#1. I'll ignore that.
#2, #3. I can understand rereleasing albums that are out of print for the benefit of new fans and people that don't have a copy and if your going to do that then absolutely remaster it. Why not take full advantage of the technology available. But if you're going to remix it so it's different from the original, i don't think that's on. That is something that you do to encourage people who already have the album to buy it again.
#4. He's not giving them anything, he's selling it.
#5. Live Insurrection, Live at Rock In Rio 3, Live at Anaheim.
#6. I can understand putting an extra track or two on an album for people who have to pay more for the product. It's not really fair on those that don't have to pay more but there it is. Things are looking up though, fans who didn't have to pay more for the original album now have the chance of getting the bonus tracks by purchasing the album again. Sweet.
I have to disagree with you on bonus tracks too. 95% of the time they are tracks that didn't make the cut on the original album and usually for good reason ( see the bonus tracks on the Priest remasters)
I'm not a "cheap fucker". Quite the opposite actually.
#7 Diehard fans usually do buy everything a band brings out. That's what makes them diehards. I really hope you enjoy your new Halford products. I"ll keep on enjoying my old ones.

Oh for fucks sakes man are you seriously doing this?
Now I gotta repeat everything I just said because your negative attitude can't seem to understand what is happening right now.
Fact #1.
You're a fucking douchebag.
#2. A Small Deadly Spacae wasn't released as a substandard product. An album is a band's mindset and vision at the time. Thats what they created. Most bands dont have the opportunity to go back and change stuff due to master tapes being lost and record contracts, rights, etc etc. Rob Halford acquired the rights and masteres to ALL his solo work recently. What would you do in that situation as a MUSICIAN who wants to express his art that is no longer available? RELEASE IT AGAIN DUMBASS. He's not guilty of putting out a substandard product, you're just a childish twat that wants the last word. Grow up. Its how people making MONEY. TO LIVE. Seriously, its amazing how fucking ignorant your being to me telling you that the remix is BETTER, and you just say "Pfft, no its not, your stupid, this is gay." You haven't even heard it. Did you even listen to the youtube clip I posted here? I really doubt you did. Seriously man, grow up.
#3. Every single one of his albums has been out of print for years. He's re-released them in NEW and improved formats, different verions for those who dont want to own the same product a couple times, etc etc.
#4. Rob isn't ripping the fans off. He's GIVING them back something they could no longer acquire. How's is that ripping them off? Or are you really that fucking cheap? These albums have not been available in stores for YEARS. Some of them over a decade. If you had the rights and the power to give thousands of people something they're all screaming for, would you give it to them? The thing is he's doing a lot more then just giving them the same thing again, he's making an overall better package, tweaking things that make it better, adding new audio and even artwork. Thats well worth buying it again a fucking DECADE later if you ask me.
#5. Where are you getting 3 live albums from out of the Halford catalogue. Last time I checked there is TWO live albums. Live Insurrection and the new 2 disc live set of the DVD coming out.
#6. Do you even understand why albums are released with bonus tracks? Obviously you dont from the way your talking about them. Bonus tracks are 100% of the time released in places like Japan and Russia and occasionally Europe because they PAY MORE for the albums. Why not give them a little something extra to compensate for the extra cost? Thats the whole point of bonus tracks. Rob's putting those bonus tracks on the albums now so that EVERYONE has a fair chance to get them. Its not a matter of why they weren't good enough in the first place, because they're obviously amazing fucking songs, its a gift to people that pay more for the album. Not cheap fuckers like yourself.
#7. Die hard fans won't and will not buy every single thing. I consider myself a die hard fan of Rob Halford associated things in general. I dont have every single Priest album. I dont have every single thing Rob's ever done. Am I gonna buy these 3 new releases? Fucking right I am, because there a WAYY BETTER PRODUCT THEN WHAT I ALREADY HAVE. Why WOULDN"T I buy Crucible remixed/remastered? Its got a better sound/production, its got more songs, more and new artwork and linear notes. Whats NOT to like?
Anyway enjoy your 10 year old Cd's. I can only imagine what kind of shit you'll reply to me with. Thing is everything I said is true, everything you've said so far is a piss poor attitude grasping for anything to fling at me to shut me down. That's called being a douchebag.

Well if you think the remixed version of Small Deadly Space is that much better why did Halford release a substandard original product. Obviously the production techniques have improved but if it's as good as you say it is he is guilty of putting out a substandard product and ripping off the fans.
I can't understand how three studio albums can warrant three live albums.
This practice of re-releasing albums with bonus tracks that didn't make the original cut stinks, it is a practice designed to sell the album again. If they weren't good enough then why now? Also rereleasing an album with a new track sucks too, do 1/10 of the work and make the same amount of money as you would if you wrote a whole new album because die-hard fans will want to have everything and buy it again. It's parasitic.

You would want to purchase the album again because the remix is a million times better then the original? Like I just said. Remixes are DIFFERENT from the original. Its the songs reworked and in this case the remix is way better then the original. Production wise, vocal wise, instrument wise, arrangement wise, its ALL better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq6khIFk5Bc
And the main reason Halford is releasing all this stuff again IS BECAUSE ITS OUT OF PRINT. When was the last time you saw this shit in a music store? I for one personally can't wait for the Anaheim DVD and double live album because its gonna be fucking amazing.
Also can't wait for the Crucible remix/remaster because it DOES sound better, and it also has ALL of the Crucible songs you previously could only get on the Jap or Euro versions.
Is that not reason enough?
I'm not a picky person at all but when they is an overall BETTER product out there, why not get the best one available?

jimmyjames wrote: |

No because I already own Fights two studio albums and resent the fact that Halford is trying to sell them to me again. And I don't really think Small Deadly Space was that good anyway so why would I want to purchase a remixed version of it.

Here's what Halfords put out.
Resurrection (good), Crucible (good) and the lamo Winter Songs ( shit ). Three Studio albums plus Live Insurrection, Live Insurrection Remastered, Live at Rock In Rio, Live at Anaheim, Crucible Remastered and Metal God Essentials which has Fight and Halford tracks on it.
Also with Fight, War Of Words (good ),, Small Deadly Space (shit ), and Mutations ( shit ) which is four live tracks and four remixed tracks from War Of Words ( which are basically Fight wishing they were Fear Factory ), War Of Words The Demos ( why the fuck would anyone want the fucking demos when they have the album ) and Into The Pit the box set containing War Of Words, Small Deadly Space and Mutations plus a bonus dvd.
It's a crock of shit, a rip off and a con. And Small Deadly Space and Winter Songs are fucking bad albums.
I have War Of Words, Small Deadly Space, Resurrection, Crucible and Live Insurrection and don't think I need any more.
Stop ripping off the fans and put out either a new Halford album with no Christmas carols or a new Priest album where the only concept is loud, fast and heavy.

Blah,well in my opinion it was ridiculous for Halford to remix and remaster the Crucible CD that was just created only 8 years ago? I mean to me the original CD sounds absolutely fine,and in my opinion its just another way of making an extra buck off the fans. Whats next,they release the Crucible CD with 5 different album covers and you'll have to buy all 5 or your not a true fan blah blah blah? lol!!!
I'm one of the very few who are sickened and tired of all these remastered box-sets of albums that I already have,I'm tired of bands releasing shit that is rehashed in a slightly different format,and I'm also one of the very few who are tired of seeing bands preform an old album in its entirety. But I realize that many people are excited about these kind of things and so be it. The only thing that I'm interested in is a band that I like putting out a brand new album that is worthy,other than that I'll save my cash.

Crucible needed the remaster badly. Same as A Small Deadly Space. They both sound a million times better production wise now being reMIXED and mastered. Eveyrthing is less muddied and more upfront.

Oh my lord man you just cant take no for answer can you?
Remixing an album (that needed it badly) thats over a decade old to release again because it is out of print isn't a cash grab.
Of course he's selling it. Why wouldn't he.............. it costs a lot of money to make this stuff........
Rock In Rio isn't an album........... its a DVD. There is no official audio release for that............. the two live Halford albums are Live Insurrection and Live In Anaheim. Holy fuck man.
Whats the problem with purchasing the same album (a way better version) that you bought for probably half the price over a decade ago? Again, Cheap fucker.
No 95% of the time is exaggerating a bit dont you think? I've heard many bonus tracks from tons of bands that are better then most of the songs on the album. There's a difference between Japanese bonus tracks and putting stuff on that you shelved 30 years ago.
I will enjoy my brand new products and the re-released ones as well. Because now, I dont have to inconvience myself getting that extra content because its ALL on one package. And it sure as fuck isn't expensive either.

#1. I'll ignore that.
#2, #3. I can understand rereleasing albums that are out of print for the benefit of new fans and people that don't have a copy and if your going to do that then absolutely remaster it. Why not take full advantage of the technology available. But if you're going to remix it so it's different from the original, i don't think that's on. That is something that you do to encourage people who already have the album to buy it again.
#4. He's not giving them anything, he's selling it.
#5. Live Insurrection, Live at Rock In Rio 3, Live at Anaheim.
#6. I can understand putting an extra track or two on an album for people who have to pay more for the product. It's not really fair on those that don't have to pay more but there it is. Things are looking up though, fans who didn't have to pay more for the original album now have the chance of getting the bonus tracks by purchasing the album again. Sweet.
I have to disagree with you on bonus tracks too. 95% of the time they are tracks that didn't make the cut on the original album and usually for good reason ( see the bonus tracks on the Priest remasters)
I'm not a "cheap fucker". Quite the opposite actually.
#7 Diehard fans usually do buy everything a band brings out. That's what makes them diehards. I really hope you enjoy your new Halford products. I"ll keep on enjoying my old ones.

Oh for fucks sakes man are you seriously doing this?
Now I gotta repeat everything I just said because your negative attitude can't seem to understand what is happening right now.
Fact #1.
You're a fucking douchebag.
#2. A Small Deadly Spacae wasn't released as a substandard product. An album is a band's mindset and vision at the time. Thats what they created. Most bands dont have the opportunity to go back and change stuff due to master tapes being lost and record contracts, rights, etc etc. Rob Halford acquired the rights and masteres to ALL his solo work recently. What would you do in that situation as a MUSICIAN who wants to express his art that is no longer available? RELEASE IT AGAIN DUMBASS. He's not guilty of putting out a substandard product, you're just a childish twat that wants the last word. Grow up. Its how people making MONEY. TO LIVE. Seriously, its amazing how fucking ignorant your being to me telling you that the remix is BETTER, and you just say "Pfft, no its not, your stupid, this is gay." You haven't even heard it. Did you even listen to the youtube clip I posted here? I really doubt you did. Seriously man, grow up.
#3. Every single one of his albums has been out of print for years. He's re-released them in NEW and improved formats, different verions for those who dont want to own the same product a couple times, etc etc.
#4. Rob isn't ripping the fans off. He's GIVING them back something they could no longer acquire. How's is that ripping them off? Or are you really that fucking cheap? These albums have not been available in stores for YEARS. Some of them over a decade. If you had the rights and the power to give thousands of people something they're all screaming for, would you give it to them? The thing is he's doing a lot more then just giving them the same thing again, he's making an overall better package, tweaking things that make it better, adding new audio and even artwork. Thats well worth buying it again a fucking DECADE later if you ask me.
#5. Where are you getting 3 live albums from out of the Halford catalogue. Last time I checked there is TWO live albums. Live Insurrection and the new 2 disc live set of the DVD coming out.
#6. Do you even understand why albums are released with bonus tracks? Obviously you dont from the way your talking about them. Bonus tracks are 100% of the time released in places like Japan and Russia and occasionally Europe because they PAY MORE for the albums. Why not give them a little something extra to compensate for the extra cost? Thats the whole point of bonus tracks. Rob's putting those bonus tracks on the albums now so that EVERYONE has a fair chance to get them. Its not a matter of why they weren't good enough in the first place, because they're obviously amazing fucking songs, its a gift to people that pay more for the album. Not cheap fuckers like yourself.
#7. Die hard fans won't and will not buy every single thing. I consider myself a die hard fan of Rob Halford associated things in general. I dont have every single Priest album. I dont have every single thing Rob's ever done. Am I gonna buy these 3 new releases? Fucking right I am, because there a WAYY BETTER PRODUCT THEN WHAT I ALREADY HAVE. Why WOULDN"T I buy Crucible remixed/remastered? Its got a better sound/production, its got more songs, more and new artwork and linear notes. Whats NOT to like?
Anyway enjoy your 10 year old Cd's. I can only imagine what kind of shit you'll reply to me with. Thing is everything I said is true, everything you've said so far is a piss poor attitude grasping for anything to fling at me to shut me down. That's called being a douchebag.

Well if you think the remixed version of Small Deadly Space is that much better why did Halford release a substandard original product. Obviously the production techniques have improved but if it's as good as you say it is he is guilty of putting out a substandard product and ripping off the fans.
I can't understand how three studio albums can warrant three live albums.
This practice of re-releasing albums with bonus tracks that didn't make the original cut stinks, it is a practice designed to sell the album again. If they weren't good enough then why now? Also rereleasing an album with a new track sucks too, do 1/10 of the work and make the same amount of money as you would if you wrote a whole new album because die-hard fans will want to have everything and buy it again. It's parasitic.

You would want to purchase the album again because the remix is a million times better then the original? Like I just said. Remixes are DIFFERENT from the original. Its the songs reworked and in this case the remix is way better then the original. Production wise, vocal wise, instrument wise, arrangement wise, its ALL better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq6khIFk5Bc
And the main reason Halford is releasing all this stuff again IS BECAUSE ITS OUT OF PRINT. When was the last time you saw this shit in a music store? I for one personally can't wait for the Anaheim DVD and double live album because its gonna be fucking amazing.
Also can't wait for the Crucible remix/remaster because it DOES sound better, and it also has ALL of the Crucible songs you previously could only get on the Jap or Euro versions.
Is that not reason enough?
I'm not a picky person at all but when they is an overall BETTER product out there, why not get the best one available?

No because I already own Fights two studio albums and resent the fact that Halford is trying to sell them to me again. And I don't really think Small Deadly Space was that good anyway so why would I want to purchase a remixed version of it.

Here's what Halfords put out.
Resurrection (good), Crucible (good) and the lamo Winter Songs ( shit ). Three Studio albums plus Live Insurrection, Live Insurrection Remastered, Live at Rock In Rio, Live at Anaheim, Crucible Remastered and Metal God Essentials which has Fight and Halford tracks on it.
Also with Fight, War Of Words (good ),, Small Deadly Space (shit ), and Mutations ( shit ) which is four live tracks and four remixed tracks from War Of Words ( which are basically Fight wishing they were Fear Factory ), War Of Words The Demos ( why the fuck would anyone want the fucking demos when they have the album ) and Into The Pit the box set containing War Of Words, Small Deadly Space and Mutations plus a bonus dvd.
It's a crock of shit, a rip off and a con. And Small Deadly Space and Winter Songs are fucking bad albums.
I have War Of Words, Small Deadly Space, Resurrection, Crucible and Live Insurrection and don't think I need any more.
Stop ripping off the fans and put out either a new Halford album with no Christmas carols or a new Priest album where the only concept is loud, fast and heavy.

Blah,well in my opinion it was ridiculous for Halford to remix and remaster the Crucible CD that was just created only 8 years ago? I mean to me the original CD sounds absolutely fine,and in my opinion its just another way of making an extra buck off the fans. Whats next,they release the Crucible CD with 5 different album covers and you'll have to buy all 5 or your not a true fan blah blah blah? lol!!!
I'm one of the very few who are sickened and tired of all these remastered box-sets of albums that I already have,I'm tired of bands releasing shit that is rehashed in a slightly different format,and I'm also one of the very few who are tired of seeing bands preform an old album in its entirety. But I realize that many people are excited about these kind of things and so be it.

its much easier to put the original into production, and cheaper than remastering the whole thing.
all the JP bonus songs are worth about 8 cents to me

I bought the Painkiller remaster just because I lost the the old one (sounded better than remaster) and it has the two bonus tracks" Living Bad Dreams" and live version of "Leather Rebel". Both are not very good in my opinion and not worth spending more money on. If they really want to please the fans they will crank out a new album. |

| Hey Bazookzjoe_666, I'm not trying to get in the middle of this but I kind of have to agree with Jimmy here. I like to buy a cd one time and not go back and buy it again just because it has been remastered and contains a bonus track or two, new art work, liner notes ect. I don't think that makes anyone cheap, its just good business. It does seem like they are trying to get more money from the fans by rereleasing something that has a little fine-tuning with bonus track or two.. Lame.

Oh for fucks sakes man are you seriously doing this?
Now I gotta repeat everything I just said because your negative attitude can't seem to understand what is happening right now.
Fact #1.
You're a fucking douchebag.
#2. A Small Deadly Spacae wasn't released as a substandard product. An album is a band's mindset and vision at the time. Thats what they created. Most bands dont have the opportunity to go back and change stuff due to master tapes being lost and record contracts, rights, etc etc. Rob Halford acquired the rights and masteres to ALL his solo work recently. What would you do in that situation as a MUSICIAN who wants to express his art that is no longer available? RELEASE IT AGAIN DUMBASS. He's not guilty of putting out a substandard product, you're just a childish twat that wants the last word. Grow up. Its how people making MONEY. TO LIVE. Seriously, its amazing how fucking ignorant your being to me telling you that the remix is BETTER, and you just say "Pfft, no its not, your stupid, this is gay." You haven't even heard it. Did you even listen to the youtube clip I posted here? I really doubt you did. Seriously man, grow up.
#3. Every single one of his albums has been out of print for years. He's re-released them in NEW and improved formats, different verions for those who dont want to own the same product a couple times, etc etc.
#4. Rob isn't ripping the fans off. He's GIVING them back something they could no longer acquire. How's is that ripping them off? Or are you really that fucking cheap? These albums have not been available in stores for YEARS. Some of them over a decade. If you had the rights and the power to give thousands of people something they're all screaming for, would you give it to them? The thing is he's doing a lot more then just giving them the same thing again, he's making an overall better package, tweaking things that make it better, adding new audio and even artwork. Thats well worth buying it again a fucking DECADE later if you ask me.
#5. Where are you getting 3 live albums from out of the Halford catalogue. Last time I checked there is TWO live albums. Live Insurrection and the new 2 disc live set of the DVD coming out.
#6. Do you even understand why albums are released with bonus tracks? Obviously you dont from the way your talking about them. Bonus tracks are 100% of the time released in places like Japan and Russia and occasionally Europe because they PAY MORE for the albums. Why not give them a little something extra to compensate for the extra cost? Thats the whole point of bonus tracks. Rob's putting those bonus tracks on the albums now so that EVERYONE has a fair chance to get them. Its not a matter of why they weren't good enough in the first place, because they're obviously amazing fucking songs, its a gift to people that pay more for the album. Not cheap fuckers like yourself.
#7. Die hard fans won't and will not buy every single thing. I consider myself a die hard fan of Rob Halford associated things in general. I dont have every single Priest album. I dont have every single thing Rob's ever done. Am I gonna buy these 3 new releases? Fucking right I am, because there a WAYY BETTER PRODUCT THEN WHAT I ALREADY HAVE. Why WOULDN"T I buy Crucible remixed/remastered? Its got a better sound/production, its got more songs, more and new artwork and linear notes. Whats NOT to like?
Anyway enjoy your 10 year old Cd's. I can only imagine what kind of shit you'll reply to me with. Thing is everything I said is true, everything you've said so far is a piss poor attitude grasping for anything to fling at me to shut me down. That's called being a douchebag.

I can't understand how three studio albums can warrant three live albums.
This practice of re-releasing albums with bonus tracks that didn't make the original cut stinks, it is a practice designed to sell the album again. If they weren't good enough then why now? Also rereleasing an album with a new track sucks too, do 1/10 of the work and make the same amount of money as you would if you wrote a whole new album because die-hard fans will want to have everything and buy it again.

Resurrection (good), Crucible (good) and the lamo Winter Songs ( shit ). Three Studio albums plus Live Insurrection, Live Insurrection Remastered, Live at Rock In Rio, Live at Anaheim, Crucible Remastered and Metal God Essentials which has Fight and Halford tracks on it.
Also with Fight, War Of Words (good ),, Small Deadly Space (shit ), and Mutations ( shit ) which is four live tracks and four remixed tracks from War Of Words ( which are basically Fight wishing they were Fear Factory ), War Of Words The Demos ( why the fuck would anyone want the fucking demos when they have the album ) and Into The Pit the box set containing War Of Words, Small Deadly Space and Mutations plus a bonus dvd.
It's a crock of shit, a rip off and a con. And Small Deadly Space and Winter Songs are fucking bad albums.
I have War Of Words, Small Deadly Space, Resurrection, Crucible and Live Insurrection and don't think I need any more.
Stop ripping off the fans and put out either a new Halford album with no Christmas carols or a new Priest album where the only concept is loud, fast and heavy.

I'm one of the very few who are sickened and tired of all these remastered box-sets of albums that I already have,I'm tired of bands releasing shit that is rehashed in a slightly different format,and I'm also one of the very few who are tired of seeing bands preform an old album in its entirety.

Halford Announces First Tour Date: HeavyMTL Festival in Montreal
JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford has confirmed that his solo band, HALFORD, will perform at this year's edition of the Heavy MTL festival on July 24, 2010 at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
“I am excited to re-introduce the HALFORD band — Mike Chlasciak and Roy Z. on guitars, Mike Davis on bass and Bobby Jarzombek on drums — to the metal fans in Canada this summer," explains Rob Halford.
"We are looking forward to performing a strong set and unveiling a new track for the Montreal Heavy MTL festival."
Metal God Records and Rob Halford have announced plans to release "Halford - Live In Anaheim Original 2CD Soundtrack" (June 21), "Halford Crucible - Remixed & Remastered" (July 12) and "Halford - Live In Anaheim" DVD (August 3) a 5.1, 23-song, two-plus-hour film documenting Rob Halford's 2002-2003 solo release ("Crucible") and tour.
Armed with metal's most diverse band of the decade, "Halford - Live In Anaheim" is an intimate, in-your-face, solo performance featuring HALFORD, FIGHT and JUDAS PRIEST classics: "Golgotha", "The Heretic", "Sun", "Into The Pit", "Light Comes Out Of Black", "Painkiller", "Rapid Fire", "Never Satisfied", and more. Also featured are bonus live tracks from HALFORD's Tokyo, Japan performances February 2003.
Captured months prior to reuniting with JUDAS PRIEST in 2003, The Metal God debuts new HALFORD guitarist Roy Z. and bassist Mike Davis along with original HALFORD members Metal Mike Chlasciak (guitars) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums) in rare performances from Anaheim, California and Tokyo, Japan.
The Metal God will also hit the road this summer and fall 2010, for his first solo tour in more than seven years; supporting "Halford - Live In Anaheim", "Crucible - Remixed & Remastered" and his entire HALFORD, FIGHT and JUDAS PRIEST catalog.
Rob Halford comments: "I am pleased to be releasing 'Crucible - Remixed & Remastered'; along with 'Halford - Live In Anaheim' DVD and CDs this year. The HALFORD band have not toured for more than seven years, and everyone knows how important my solo work is to me. While the other members of JUDAS PRIEST enjoy a well-deserved break for the remainder of 2010, I am very excited about getting HALFORD onto as many stages as we can before year's end."
Stay in touch with Rob Halford and his HALFORD band members at RobHalford.com throughout 2010 for NEW HALFORD music, digital releases and Metal God Apparel, limited concert ticket giveaways, limited meet-and-greets, tour dates, news and more. |

You would want to purchase the album again because the remix is a million times better then the original? Like I just said. Remixes are DIFFERENT from the original. Its the songs reworked and in this case the remix is way better then the original. Production wise, vocal wise, instrument wise, arrangement wise, its ALL better.

And the main reason Halford is releasing all this stuff again IS BECAUSE ITS OUT OF PRINT. When was the last time you saw this shit in a music store? I for one personally can't wait for the Anaheim DVD and double live album because its gonna be fucking amazing.
Also can't wait for the Crucible remix/remaster because it DOES sound better, and it also has ALL of the Crucible songs you previously could only get on the Jap or Euro versions.

Also with Fight, War Of Words (good ),, Small Deadly Space (shit ), and Mutations ( shit ) which is four live tracks and four remixed tracks from War Of Words ( which are basically Fight wishing they were Fear Factory ), War Of Words The Demos ( why the fuck would anyone want the fucking demos when they have the album ) and Into The Pit the box set containing War Of Words, Small Deadly Space and Mutations plus a bonus dvd.
It's a crock of shit, a rip off and a con. And Small Deadly Space and Winter Songs are fucking bad albums.
I have War Of Words, Small Deadly Space, Resurrection, Crucible and Live Insurrection and don't think I need any more.
Stop ripping off the fans and put out either a new Halford album with no Christmas carols or a new Priest album where the only concept is loud, fast and heavy.

No because I already own Fights two studio albums and resent the fact that Halford is trying to sell them to me again. And I don't really think Small Deadly Space was that good anyway so why would I want to purchase a remixed version of it.

Well J.D., I'll jump on board with that one. I don't purchase re-releases and thought the exact same
thing you did when I heard about Crucible. I getting tired of the tours also. I will probably hit that Slayer,
Megadeth, Testament tour because those are some of my favorite bands. I was glad when Priest did
British Steel though. I had tickets for the original but they cancelled. Judas, Scorpions, and Def Leppard.
Tickets were $4.50 (I'm serious) and they cancelled for lack of ticket sales. It would have been my first
Priest show. I felt I was seeing something I got cheated out of 30 years ago so I was happy. I was amazed
afterwards that they still sounded so powerful. I know they are closing in on the end so to hear them
sound so heavy (and good) made it quite enjoyable. Take care man.

MEGADETH and SLAYER, who last toured the U.S. together 19 years ago on the "Clash of the Titans" extravaganza, have confirmed that they will each perform, start to finish, their 1990 releases — SLAYER's world-wide, million-selling "Seasons In The Abyss" and MEGADETH's platinum "Rust In Peace" — on the upcoming Canadian and American Carnage tours. The six-date Canadian Carnage kicks off July 23 in Quebec City, while the 19-city American Carnage dates begin August 11 in Glens Falls, NY (complete itinerary is below). With SLAYER and MEGADETH co-headlining, TESTAMENT will be special guest on all dates.
Tickets purchased for the Canadian and American Carnage shows when they first went on sale late last year will be honored for the rescheduled dates.
Nineteen hundred and ninety was one stellar year for fans of intense heavy metal, as both "Rust In Peace" and "Seasons in the Abyss" are considered to be among the genre's all-time classics. "War Ensemble", "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due", "Dead Skin Mask", "Hangar 18", "Seasons In The Abyss" — the preeminent list of metal standards that these two albums spawned has rarely been matched by others.
SLAYER — guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo — scored a major breakthrough upon the original release of "Seasons In The Abyss" (SLAYER's fifth studio album overall), as it was the group' first album to hit the U.S. Top 40, and saw SLAYER playing to the biggest crowds of their career on '91's "Clash of the Titans" tour.
MEGADETH's fourth album, "Rust In Peace", saw the band cement their status as one of the most important metal bands with masterpieces like "Hangar 18" and "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due", as well as a top 25 debut on the Billboard chart. The album has been hailed as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time, with IGN recently naming it one of the most influential metal albums ever. MEGADETH is now rejoined by original bassist Dave Ellefson and are firing on all cylinders.
The American Carnage tour, originally scheduled to take place in January and February, had to be postponed due to SLAYER vocalist/bassist Tom Araya's treatment for severe back pain, an occupational hazard for the rocker who is known for aggressively swinging his long mane of hair while performing. A surgical procedure in January corrected the problem once and for all, and he felt better almost immediately.
"Right after the surgery," said Araya, "I could tell that the issue was fixed. There's no more pain, it just feels really good. I'm really excited and I'm anxious to get together with the rest of the guys and start rehearsing again. We cancelled two tours, and I don't feel great about that, but I couldn't deal with the pain anymore, and that's now completely gone. I know the fans are excited to see the band - the tour is on, we're keeping our word, there will be no more cancellations."

It's exciting having the chance to see Rob, just a little disheartening knowing
another year will pass before the Priest are back at it. I guess for me I would
call it tempered excitement.

Dave Mustaine Interview
Chris A. of Hardrock Haven recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Hardrock Haven: As MEGADETH's frontman, is the fact that you always keep the band stocked with incredible guitarists designed to give you the opportunity to "step out" a bit with your vocals or does it push you to be a better guitar player?
Dave Mustaine: Well, if it's afforded me the opportunity to step out as a vocalist, I haven't done it yet, 'cause I'm not a very confident with myself as a singer. I wasn't a singer when I started, I just liked playing the guitar, and in fact, in my last band that's all I did — play lead guitar. That's what my trade is. I remember one night on New Year's Eve, me and Dave Ellefson [MEGADETH bassist] were rehearsing and we had some guy come down and audition for the band and he walked in and had fucking eyeliner on. He did have a bunch of beer and me and Dave were living in Dave's van mooching off chicks at the time, so we drank all of his beer, and let him sing awhile as long as the beer lasted. After it was gone, we said "You're fired." I mean, I can't have a guy with eyeliner in MEGADETH, for Pete's sake! So Dave said, "Why don't you sing?" I tried it but it felt like I had a railroad spike going through my eyeballs because I didn't know how to breathe. When you sing, if you push all that air out of your body singing, no matter how cool you think you might look, you're doing down because you're gonna faint. I tried singing, I didn't like it but ended up doing it because we couldn't find anyone.
Hardrock Haven: Did you take any vocal lessons?
Dave Mustaine: I took two vocal lessons, but I won't tell you their names. One was a 70-year-old woman in Hollywood who stood behind me and stuck her hands down my pants. I thought, you know, this is fucked up. Then there was another one by a guy in Hollywood who asked me to unbutton my pants so he could examine my diaphragm. I said, "Dude, my diaphragm is up here. Diaphragms in pants belong in females." So I'm not sure what my private parts have to do with a vocal lesson but I guess it's got something to do with breathing. It was really too weird for me. I thought, if this is part of being a vocalist, I'll be a professional yeller.
Hardrock Haven: Your newest release, "Endgame", is a great metal disc, what was the inspiration behind your song "1320'"? Obviously, it's about drag racing but what prompted to you write the song?
Dave Mustaine: What happened was when I was a kid, I used to go to the Orange County International Raceway. I was an entrepreneur. My mom moved out when I was 13 so I had to learn how to live on the streets so I was sort of like Oliver Twist. I was a street urchin. I would go to the racetrack and buy a ticket. On the way to the track I would stop by the drugstore and I got a pack of those rainbow pens. I went inside and they stamped my hand, I went back outside into the parking lot and pan-handled tickets all day for all the booze and drugs and cash that I could possibly stuff in my little teenage pockets. Then I would go inside and watch the main event and watch the nitro cars. Ever since I was 13 I've been fascinated with racing. I would go to the fairgrounds and watch motocross, I love the smell of the motorcycles and the speedway. It's kind of a bummer now because you're so close to the track and people are fucking drunk off their butts and they want me to sign shit and take photos and I just wanna see the race. For me, if I go out to do something I'm going out to do something, not sign autographs. That's why I don't go out very much because I don't want people to think that I'm a snob. I don't want to be rude, I try to be fan-friendly because I know who gave me this fabulous lifestyle — the gift came from the Lord, but I wouldn't be here without the fan support.
Hardrock Haven: You've got an autobiography about to be published. What was it like for you to see the part of your life that your going to make public laid out in paper?
Dave Mustaine: It's been out there forever, because I've been very open about my career since I started. I don't think there's any reason to hide shit because people find out. And if you take the wind out of their sails they can't use it against you. It's not self-deprecation or anything like that, but for me, I think what it is this righteous transparency that when you people talk to me they know what they are getting. They know that I'm not a bullshitter and they know that I'm fairly intelligent on stuff I'm talking about because if I don't know about a subject, I won't talk about it.

From Roadrunnerrecords.co.uk
REMEMBERING PETER STEELE 1962 - 2010
15/04/2010
It is with great sadness that we report the news that Peter Steele, iconic frontman of Brooklyn goth-metal legends Type O Negative, passed away at 6pm yesterday due to heart failure.
With a sense of humor blacker than the clothing he wore, the sarcastic messages in songs like “Set Me on Fire,” “I Don’t Want to Be Me” and an album entitled Life is Killing Me once viewed as darkly tongue-in-cheek now take on a more gloomy meaning as we remember the man who wrote them. SVP of A&R Monte Conner, who originally signed Type O Negative to Roadrunner Records in 1989 puts it best, saying:
"We have lost several Roadrunner artists over the years but this is a biggie – this one hurts the most, not just because Peter was a great, great guy, but he figures so prominently in the history of this company (our first Gold album, our first radio success). He was a tortured soul for most of his life and certainly for the entire time we all knew him. Let’s hope he is in a better place."
Pete Steele was surely a man who towered over everyone he met, not just in his physical stature but in his personality riddled with humor and heartache. His dramatic baritone voice carried foreboding lyrics about death and despair over electronic chaos and bottom-heavy guitars, proving to become not only the band’s signature, but a sound unmatched ever since Type O’s inception. With profound distaste and disgust for both humanity and political correctness, Type O Negative
never changed with the times - the times changed with them. Marked by sharp wit and bouts of gloom 'n depression, Peter Steele and the Drab Four rewarded their listeners with what can only be expected from the Brooklyn doom squad: A nihilistic world view, anthems of sex and death, and a blinding torch of well-placed fury.
Just to add, I saw these guys a few years back, and, well.. they weren't great. Good but not great (especially coming on after Paradise Lost, who were awesome). And forty minutes late on stage. All the tour reviews ripped 'em to shreds. The band looked out of it, except Pete Steele- who saved the set in my opinion. I remember him looming over the crowd, and that fantastic deep voice that still seems to be totally unique in a world where every metal singer seems to want to be, well, Rob Halford. I'm listening to October Rust as I write this, and its still a wonderful piece of songwriting.
RIP Pete Steele. I wish I had had the chance to see Type O Negative at their best.

New Dimebag/Damageplan Song Coming In The Next Metal Hammer Magazine.
This month's issue of U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine comes packaged with a previously unheard track that was recorded by the late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.
SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo, who produced the song, tells the magazine, "I got the track and put it into Pro Tools and trimmed the edges and made it shine a bit but the true producer and engineer was Dime. The sounds you hear are the ones he recorded, I just cleaned it up.
"I've never done anything like this and it was an honor to work on something that no one has ever heard and to be one of the first to listen to it.
"[Dime's former girlfriend] Rita [Haney] told me about the song, about Zakk [Wylde] and the whole the story about them getting together and ending up drunk. It's really cool.
"Rita fills me in and all the stories are so great. They had such a nice life.
"I've come know more about him and his impact later in life than I did at the time. You really appreciate his art and what he contributes to metal."
Other bands featured on the CD include SOULFLY, BLEEDING THROUGH, CANCER BATS and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN.
"Dimebag" Darrell was co-founder and lead guitarist for PANTERA. When PANTERA broke up in 2003, Dimebag and his brother Vinnie Paul formed DAMAGEPLAN. On Dec. 8, 2004, while performing with DAMAGEPLAN at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, Dimebag was shot and killed onstage by Nathan Gale. He was 38 years old.

Rush was one of my favorite bands when I was young. The last time I saw them live was 1994.
I hated them and swore I'd never go see them again. Even though the "Classic Album tours" are
becoming a little monotonous "Moving Pictures" was the last Rush album that I liked.
The curiosity is there, maybe I'll go. Peace!

RUSH — Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart — is without question one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, equally famed for both its virtuoso musicianship and provocative songwriting.
Announced today, the "Time Machine Tour" is an evening with RUSH, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future — and for the first time ever — feature the "Moving Pictures" album live in its entirety.
The band is currently working on their 20th studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007's "Snakes & Arrows") and in addition to their classics plan to showcase a few new tunes live this summer.
"We were off for a year and a half, and now it's just pouring. Everything is totally crazy and there's not a minute left in the day. We've got these half-dozen songs, and we'll probably go in the studio and work on a couple of them and see how it goes, perhaps release something — and I say perhaps — and then we plan on being on the road," says guitarist Alex Lifeson.
This summer's Live Nation-promoted tour will visit approximately 40 cities throughout North America beginning June 29 in Albuquerque, NM and finishing October 2 in West Palm Beach, FL with stops along the way in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Holmdel, Houston, Las Vegas , Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto, Washington, and more along the way (complete tour itinerary follows).
RUSH has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and garnered untold legions of devoted and admiring fans. According to the RIAA, RUSH's sales statistics place RUSH third after THE BEATLES and THE ROLLING STONES for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.
Released in 1981, "Moving Pictures" was their most successful album, certified four-times platinum and features some of RUSH's most well known songs and perennial radio favourites "Tom Sawyer", "Limelight" and the Grammy-nominated instrumental "YYZ".
"Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage", a documentary created by filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn (whose filmography also includes "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and "Global Metal") will premiere at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on April 24, followed by the Canadian premiere at Toronto's Hot Docs festival on April 29. The band was also recently showcased in the comedy "I Love You Man" where they play themselves in a concert scene featuring actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segal as ubra-fans, a performance which has exposed the band to a whole new generation.
Inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame this past March alongside Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot, RUSH has also been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and won a number of Juno Awards. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and bestowed the Order of Canada in 1997. Consistently celebrated and respected worldwide, RUSH is the most successful Canadian rock band of all time and they remain one of the biggest grossing arena rock bands ever.
