Nostradamus??? Don't get me started....not only is it one of the worst albums JP ever spewed forth...it's plain CRAP! Try the Nickolo Kotzev Nostradamus epic...done yrs b4 JP stole it...Sorry but i'm entitled to my opinion...as for the classics? were u actually alive then? My god...late '60's early '70's produced far better music than the junk ppl on the boards go on about...(rant over).

Ian, I agree fully about Zep & Priest, but why is it that I'm not anything near as excited about Sabbath and Ozzy
Can anyone name a Sabbath, Ozzy, or Dio album that comes near Zep II or Nostradamus in excitement, innovation and depth ?

exciting times to be around then , they came from the same area zep," sabbath ,and the priest .there could be considerations for that these bands did not just invent heavy metal but defined it for generations to come!

Priest: Revolution
This one has the wonderful energy of early Zep. Rob even does Percy's thingy, so the tribute is complete.
Let's face it, guys: Zep started metal ... but then Priest became metal's flagship - and still is
Aint that so ?
Sometimes wonder how Zep would'v developed had John Bonham been around. Any'o you guys thought about that
Two great great bands without whom my life would'v been so much poorer

Yup, Down, one'o my fave groups. Pantera too
NP Priest: Angel Of Retribution
Fab album too
It's amazing how Priest changed after Rob got back into the mix
This is the only band I can think of with guys 50+ that continue to explore new territory (progress) and give their fans radically different treats with every album
Think of Stones and Aerosmith
But honestly guys, couldn't you at least get the spelling right in the topic heads ? When guests see this, they think that Priest fans are illiterate. As we know, there's already a widespread prejudice that metalheads are morons, and we don't need to add to that

That shows real maturity to admit such a thing. It was truly a tumultuous time in Detroit. I was not kidding about the sandbags and machine guns at the suburbs. Three streets away from my house. They used to send my father into the inner city to make business calls because he was Mexican. Like he wouldn't get shot as easily as a pure white person. Right. That is a great part of why I still hold to "not all rap is crap" statement. Especially literate and historically significant rhyme.
No harm, no foul, compadre.

Read a little, kid. Malcolm X was also a key player in the movement in Michigan. Read his autobiography someday. Perhaps you'll understand that "not all rap is crap."

How about their other big hit Joyride. I just checked them out on youtube, they're really cool. Come on admit it, you liked them a little bit.
LOL! Roxette! My mum loved them. What about Ace of Base?? That's kinda Eurotrashy.

For me it was AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Priest, Motorhead, Sabbath etc. I can't think of any bands that would fit into that definition of Eurotrash except maybe Roxette. Have you heard of them, the y sing that shocking song "The Look".

I guess Priest don't come here because there's not enough interest in their music. It's mainly bands who are really big or bands that are more underground that come here. The only way Priest could get a gig here would be as part of a festival. They toured Australia last year and were going to do a show here but they cancelled it. due to poor ticket sales I suppose. Either that or the logistics of packing everything up and flying over for a one off show were to much. For the record I did buy a ticket, but it was not to be.

I still hope Priest get here one day, I'll be forking out for the best tickets possible.

I guess Priest don't come here because there's not enough interest in their music. It's mainly bands who are really big or bands that are more underground that come here. The only way Priest could get a gig here would be as part of a festival. They toured Australia last year and were going to do a show here but they cancelled it. due to poor ticket sales I suppose. Either that or the logistics of packing everything up and flying over for a one off show were to much. For the record I did buy a ticket, but it was not to be.

What does motown have to do with rap? I thought motown was Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. Don't tell me you're listening to that as well? You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

What does motown have to do with rap? I thought motown was Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. Don't tell me you're listening to that as well? You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

I watched both vids and, ableit the languange problem, cannot sat that the second one looked just like Chilean national music. A "casique" (or warlord) leading the chant.

No not really, most of the musical influences come from outside. The metal scene here is pretty healthy considering the size of the country population wise ( 4 million ). We have no decent metal bands of note that are doing much locally or internationally. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 2:30:25 PM)
