I just want to take a moment to let my friends know that my father passed away last night. We brought him home last Friday as he became too weak to endure anymore treatment and his health declined quickly. Fortunately, he was home, medicated and we were with him when his time came. Over the last couple of weeks he got to meet his great-grandkids, he was responsive to this and very happy. I am also greatful that Bev had the opportunity to meet and spend time with him back in March. He had been battling this for 5 years and we're greatful for every minute we had with him. Cancer is a son of a bitch. Dad, I love you!! |

GREAT memories, ML. I remember seeing RJD and Rainbow in Calif. many, MANY years ago. I was just blown away by the sound of that booming voice coming out of such a tiny man!!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!! I just thought that the Laws of Physics were being defied in so many ways! The great thing about him is that he is in that category of vocalist that is unique, like our beloved Rob. You KNOW it is him when you hear him, no matter what the circumstance.
I am sure that, as a vocalist, you have a special affinity for RJD and those that are like him. The "gift" that is his special talent is something that cannot be taught, nor learned. It is something that one cannot buy. A synthesizer cannot replicate it and it is never quite copied by even the best of "tribute" singers. THAT is such an incredible thing.

Morning, folks. Bit of a somber day I see. So sorry to hear of the loss. Dio will always be one of my greatest inspirations. Seems like it is always tough to lose one of "our own", as it were. I often think about the Priest boys at a time like this. They are getting up there in age and I worry about that day, which we all know will come, and how we will handle it. Facing mortality is never easy. We deal and we move on.
I think this is a reminder to all of us to be vigilant regarding our health. There ARE things we CAN control, guys. As I mentioned last week, I had my annual check up. I just now checked my blood results and I am happy to say that my levels are all normal, with the exception of tryglicerides (fat in the blood) which is really not surprising. The therapy for that is...you guessed it, LOSE WEIGHT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! As I said, not surprising. Overall, I am thankful that I am pretty healthy. Good cholesterol, good pressure, etc. I don't drink. I don't smoke. If I could lay off the buttter and frying oil I would likely be as healthy as ol' Guido!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
Take care of yourselves, people. It is not all that hard. There are things we all can do to ensure we are living longer and feeling better. I would really hate to lose one of you! |

I am very shocked and saddened by the loss of RJD. I got to see him a couple years ago during the Priest/H&H tour. Just a phoenomonal performer. Such a huge, huge loss for not just heavy metal, but the world of music as well.

What a drag to hear about Ronnie James Dio.
I'm glad I went to that Priest / Heaven and Hell concert a couple of years back.
He was nearly 65 years old and still sounded good. R.I.P. / R.J.D. |

I just thought I would comment on "Play That Funky Music". You can't escape that song around here.
The guy who wrote and sang that song is from Steubenville, Ohio. I lived there for twelve years, and live about
10 minutes from it now. I stay out of the bars now but at one time everybar, everynight, some one played that
song, either on the jukebox or live. I think his name is Rob Parise. I believe he lives elsewhere but every once in a while
he would drive thru town in a white Rolls' with the plate "Wyt Boy". He's a millionaire from that one song. He
owns the rights to the song and gets royalty checks still. It's amazing how popular that song actually is. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Friday, May 14, 2010 6:23:30 AM)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Thanks, Spa. While I wish I were able to say that I am carrying the torch for Metal and whatnot, I am not. We are not a Metal act. In fact , we do very little in the way of "Metal". Both our Priest songs are commerical in the highest (Breaking the Law and Another Thing Comin) and we play good ol' Paranoid which is more "classic rock" these days than Metal.
I was thinking about that last night. You see, while I do play for the love of music and all the passion that I have for it, I also play to get PAID. I know JD is likely ready to slit my throat now but, we play what the crowd wants to hear (Eve Six, Three Doors Down, Poison). Last night, we learned four new songs and, while I am happy to say that one of them is "Rock you like a Hurricane" (Scorps), the others are "My Sharona", "Good Golly Miss Molly" and....Bad Co's "Rock Steady".
I am really all for the "love of Metal" and all but the cold, hard reality is that playing small bars and clubs requires that we have a wide ranging set list and that we play things that all the crowd will like. For example, "Play that Funky Music" is one of our most popular! HA!!!!!!!!!!! (Of course, we "rough" it up some!) The reality is, we have to play what they want, not necessarily what WE like.
I have noticed that these "tribute" bands do VERY well here but they actually LOOK like the bands they portray! I mean, seriously ...! I saw a band yesterday called "Heart Live" and I could've sworn it was Heart! The girls looked just like them and they sang spot-on! I was stunned. There are a couple Van Halen acts here that are like that. With me, Priest is not an option. I suppose I look enough like Meatloaf to do that, but I cannot sing like him......HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Have a busy weekend coming up!! Going to see a friend of mine and his band play their first show this Friday and then we (my band) are all going to Vince Neil's club (Feelgoods) to hang with some friends that have a band playing there. I guess you could consider it the musical equivalent of "social networking"... HAAAAAAAA! Anyhoo, I get to run around town and act like a twenty-something for a couple days.

With Brown out of Number 10, now is the time to act- Rob, your country needs you! We'll cause a diversion outside and you and the guys run in and stage a Breaking the Law style hold-up. I know it will work, we have... roughly half an hour.
Never mind...
Good to hear that you're well, Freeze. Hope everyone else is too. |

I preordered the BS special edition, and waited for it today, and didn't get it. That kind of sucked. Other than that, I had a great Mother's Day to offset the disapointment. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Justin Kenny from Tuesday, May 11, 2010 4:38:50 PM)

Well, I'm finally getting some strength back. Oy! Tough last couple days! Looks like all is well. I must say, it is so gratifying to see that all is calm and friendly here when I am away! Well done, all.
Trying to stay calm HERE as well. Saw the doc yesterday for my annual check up. Blood pressure and whatnot is Aces! The regular blood work is later this week but I have no reason to believe there will be anything to report! For some reason, that man is not meant to know, I have been blessed with remarkably good health despite my rather "unhealthy" way of life over the last fifty years or so! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing. If not for my weight, I assume I would be some sort of medical miracle. In any event, all is well and life keeps on keeping on... |

I had a sudden panic when I started seeing messages like that popping up everywhere. I was pretty certain it couldn't be Mothers' day- I hadn't realised that different countries celebrate it on different days (we have it in March).
Well, Happy Mothers' Day anyway!

My 411 is sad. I've got a stupid wedding to attend at that time, and Flora is not crazy about the "other bands" at Ozzfest. So what I want to know is Halford going to be doing any small arenas or club dates? Now that my Ozzfest has been shot to shit.

I think Clegg with partner up with the Tory's and it will, in the end, be in his best interest. Unfortuanatly, I don't think the Tory government will not be looked upon kindly. They have a lot of cleaning up to do, and that wont be easy on anyone. But, if you cut out all those government jobs that are essentially fake jobs that Labor installed, it would be a great start. LOL And get people off the couch and back to work, the professional non-workers especially. No need for immigration if all of Britain was at work.

Many of his supporters will see it as a betrayal to throw his support behind the Tories, but if he goes for Labour, even a couple of other parties like SNP and Plaid Cymru do the same, Brown still won't have enough of a majority.
Personally, I think David Cameron will get it, and much as it pains me to say this, I hope he does too. I still remember when John Major was in power and Conservatives were the bloated fat-cat baddies out to ruin everyone, pitted against the wonderful New Labour who were going to save the country and usher us into some kind of golden age.
Well, look how that turned out...
Becks, I cannot stress how insanely jealous I am- the past three times Metallica have come to the UK I have either been unable to make the date or unable to get tickets. I hope you and Craig have a really really good time! Whatever people say about them, you rarely hear bad things about their live shows these days.

Reminds me of Dub-ya's first run at office when his brother handed him the election all wrapped up like a gift, in Florida.

Worse, the voting this year has been a shambles- running out of ballot papers, postal votes being lost, and worst of all so many polling stations didn't have enough staff to cope with the numbers of people, so in a lot of places (including our nearest) people were still queueing to vote at 10 o'clock and were turned away- one of my best friends was right at the front (he'd been there for at least an hour) and they shut the door in his face. In some places they actually carried on letting people in, but legally any votes cast after 10 aren't valid... so, its a mess right now.
Anyhow, Good night (morning?!) all!

I'm not British, I have no british relatives that I know of but when I read the international news I absolutely HATE Gordon Brown and Labor. I have been facinated with waiting for this election for the past two years because if that were my country, we would have impeached the fool long ago. Ineptitude should get you thrown out of office, but then again we did suffer 8 years of Dub-ya  after having one of the best President's of the modern times. ARRRGH! Thank god, that's over.
| | | Becks wrote: | | Sure you can Spa! LOL!
It'll be interesting to see who wins the UK election, a lot of people I've spoken to don't like Gordon Brown lol.
Well I'm happy as cos we just bought our tickets to see Metallica in october, they're coming to NZ for (at the moment) one show. I know I know, a lot of people here don't like them, but I am a fan (granted of their older stuff, St Anger is AWFUL, so is Reload, the list goes on) but I have wanted to see them live for ages and now I am so yay! lol.
