It feels different this time around. On the first album, there was so much anticipation around this place. There was a LOT more involvement by the membership. A lot more talk about it, you know? I think that we have come to a point where we know what to expect so there is not so much "buzz". On the first album, there was that mystery. That little doubt. The possibility that it would not work. This time, I think the expectations are higher but there is that confidence I mentioned. Not only with the band but the membership as well. We are all confident that we can produce a quality album. We all know what to expect. That excites me because we are taking some risks this time and there will be a couple surprises, not to mention Metallark and what he brings!!! There is still a bit of uncertainty here, I think! It is very exciting!!      lana wrote: Am waiting with Anticipation Deep Freeze --I'm excited because you're excited !!      Deep Freeze wrote: You know it's funny but I really do not feel any "pressure" this time. On the first album, there was tremendous pressure! It was our FIRST one! All eyes and ears were upon us! I truly felt pressure. I was SO nervous when I arrived!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   This time, I have a certain confidence that I did not have before. I know what I can do and what I cannot. We have Metallark to add that new dimension that EVERY "follow-up" album needs and we have the support of the greatest website membership on earth!! I have a quite confidence about this album. The material is fantastic. The musicians are the very best. And we have improved on the equipment immeasurably!  It will all come together. I am as certain as one can be that this will be a HUGE leap from Raw Steel. Get ready gang! This album will blow you away!!!!!!!

I cannot begin to tell you how I would love to join all of you on this, as  I`ve been listening to everything MM has been posting links to and it`s really strong stuff. But sadly ,I just can`t get away. With my job in transportation and the Christmas shipping season allready started,I`m really busy until well into the New Year.

Well folks, there it is from the man himself! As I have been saying, this recording will be far and above what we did two years ago. We have better equipment, more time, more experience and added talent. I guess if there is anything that I am disappointed in, it would be that we do not have Mick playing bass this time around. Mick Fallacaro is an absolutely incredible musician. He will be missed and it will be noticable, unless we can find another of his level. I just do not think we will. We have had the offer out there for months and had NO takers.

I know that MM has more talent in his pinky than most musicians have in their entire bodies so I am confident that he can do the parts we need to complete the album but it is terribly disappointing to lose a talent like Mick. He and Jim made the bottom end of the music perfect. Those of you that are musicians will know what I mean. The percussion and bass are the glue. The foundation on which the song is built. In Priest, what Ian does is so very often overlooked but, I can guarantee you, he would be missed the minute he was taken out of the equation.

Fortunately, MM is correct. We are not tied to the time constraints we had last time. MM owns the equipment and he can work on completing this long after Metallark and I have come and gone. By the time we release this album, it will all be perfect. Our pledge to you this time is a MUCH better product. The originals are very cool and our choices for Priest music are varied and wide ranging, just like last time! We are doing a bit more of the darker material this time around and I think that will appeal to a larger audience. Of course, there will be a couple "fun" tunes included! All in all, I believe you will enjoy this album. I know we will do our very best to make sure of that!!

So sorry once again DF!!--I'm on Lawrence Welk time I guess
will have to get my act together if I want to play the electric triangle in your band, right ??

So let me get this straight--no little bubbles floating around our heads whilst we're playing ??
