I know most people here hate it but I thought "Demolition" was one of their heavier efforts. I think Priest has always progressed and changed
with every album yet they maintained an overall "Priest" sound. I think "Demolition" was their progression towards a modern metal sound. I saw
that tour 4 times and enjoyed those shows as much as some of the earlier shows I saw. Then they get Rob back and they make A.O.R. and to me
it just seemed like a step backward. The music wasn't as heavy and the overall sound just reminded me of stuff that they've already done. Yes
they had the "Priest" sound but the progression was lost. Then they did "Nostradamus". Never was I so disappointed with a Priest album. I think
it's funny that some people say the "Ripper" years aren't "Priest" but Nostradamus is. That is the fartherest thing from Priest that they have done.
Other than the A.O.R. live shows and the British Steel tour I haven't enjoyed anything Priest has done since "Demolition". Also, I don't want a
"British Steel" album, it's already been done. No "Painkiller" either. I just want something heavy. I know the last shows will be good and I will
attend at least one of them. I just wish a "Judas Priest (Heavy) Metal" album would go along with it. Maybe it just can't be done.

The last two Priest albums and Halford's latest are proof of this. A.O.R. has some good music on it but it's hardly
a classic Priest album. I truly believed after the British Steel tour they still had it but??? So maybe it's not betrayal
as much as it just can't be done. Lastly, trust me, I love Judas Priest and I'm not mad about a final tour. I just waited
a decade to hear (one) last "Priest" beast and it's not coming. That is a major disappointment.

These guys have been doing it for fourty years and I've got to believe that would wear on anybody overtime. I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt and I wish them nothing but the best. I've enjoying jamming to Judas Priest for 30 years and I have enjoyed all their albums from Rocka Rolla through Painkiller. I've seen them three times (Once with Ripper) and I get to see them a fourth time. Life is good.

three years with a teaser of a big announcement. Everyone comes online and sees the new site design and announcement
and instantly get excited thinking here it is only to be kicked in the gut with the we'll take your money but we won't give
you anything but a final tour for it. You can be happy for them but don't think because you are everyone else should be too.
If Nostradamus is the best they can do then maybe no new album is a good thing.

Life goes on people. Yeah they won't be touring anymore but that's their choice and they deserve to make that choice without the childish, selfish criticism I've read from a "few" posters in this thread. Be happy for them. One benefit I see already is if they shut down the website then you won't have to read anymore bullshit posts from JD Diamond. |

Oh, there are far more than 2. Shall I break out the cassettes, LPs, CDs (and then LPs again in the case of the new Priest colored ones)?
For me, nothing beat the LPs. Looking at something like Powerslave on a CD jacket just doesn't do it justice at all. Not even close.

There are a couple of songs on each of these albums that I do like but overall they haven't been a cd that I could put in my truck and jam all the through without hitting skip. Despite that, I don't feel any betrayal here. You might but I don't see it. If they truly wanted to screw the fans then they wouldn't even bother with another world tour. These guys have been doing it for fourty years and I've got to believe that would wear on anybody overtime. I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt and I wish them nothing but the best. I've enjoying jamming to Judas Priest for 30 years and I have enjoyed all their albums from Rocka Rolla through Painkiller. I've seen them three times (Once with Ripper) and I get to see them a fourth time. Life is good.

Priest are betraying their fans. If you support a band and afford them a lavish lifestyle then why is it too much to expect
a new album before they quit. They release Nostradamus and alienate half their fans, then they leave us hanging for
three years with a teaser of a big announcement. Everyone comes online and sees the new site design and announcement
and instantly get excited thinking here it is only to be kicked in the gut with the we'll take your money but we won't give
you anything but a final tour for it. You can be happy for them but don't think because you are everyone else should be too.
If Nostradamus is the best they can do then maybe no new album is a good thing.

Kroman, I agree with you on what you have said except I really liked AOR and loved Nostrodamus. Priest are artists and have always marched to the beat of their own drum. It was different and really quite beautiful. Give it another listen with an open mind and listen from start to finish. A great story really. Priest are more than musicians, they are artists, storytellers.

True Guido, but he did co-write one of their best....."Victim of Changes" - a pretty darn good one.
Ron, I think I agree with what you have said. Also, I do feel a lot of anger here. Let's not forget how very fortunate we have been for even being given the chance to see these guys on tour at all and for getting any new material since Painkiller with Rob. I have stated over the years that I feel extremely lucky to have had the chance to see Judas Priest live again so many years later. I can remember seeing them as a teenager in the 80's. We are all very lucky you guys.

That and all the fine work he is producing with Dave Holland wouldn't allow him to give 1000% and produce an album with real Brian "swagger." HAAAA!

As for the health theory (hope not), it is interesting and one I hadn't thought of before. Way I see it, health being the cause or not, the "break" here is Glenn. I see KK active, most certainly Rob, Scott and, sad as it is, I would even say that they would record and even tour without Ian. If Glenn was on board, that is, and I say that he is not.
| | | ron h wrote: | | There are several things I'd bet my last dollar on...
When the band played it's last set together, none of them thought it would be there last (not counting the farewell tour).
There's a health issue with one of the members.
KK would love nothing more than to be in the studio recording another Priest album.
Rob releasing a new solo album and going on two different tours now were the final nails in the Priest coffin.
To me, this reeks of the same stench that separated the band in the early 90's. I get that KK is still young enough to keep going, but he's the youngest of the main four and it takes ALL of them to pull Priest off no matter what KK wants. Do we want to see Priest continue with a different singer again? I don't!!
I'm glad they're doing a final tour even though it comes without a new release, this way I can say goodbye if I choose and as many times as I choose. I refuse to let the final years ruin 30+ years for me. I didn't get this chance in '92 or whatever year it was. If new Metalheads can't figure out what happend at the end, oh well, we don't get it either but it's not our choice. Our choice is to give them the respect they've earned or not to.
I don't blame anyone for being pissed off and lashing out under the circumstances. Some of the most interesting posts are the ones that are written off the cuff based purely on emotion. But in my world, when the fog lifts, I love Judas Priest and I'll support them to the end. It's the least I can do for all that they've given me in my lifetime. |

Ian Hill: "Everything is a risk during the days of downloading. If it's downloaded legally, that's fine. But illegal downloads are the problem. It sounds like a good idea, music for nothing, but unfortunately, it doesn't cost nothing to produce, it costs a fucking fortune to produce. And it's not really bands like ourselves who lose out, because we've got a huge back catalog and we've got a lot of fans who will go out and buy the album anyway. But the up-and-coming bands, they don't get a chance, they have no option but to give their music away. Record companies aren't giving out many contracts anymore, simply because they're not making any money. It's as simple as that."
MEEEETTTTTTAAAAALLLLLLL BEEEETTTTRRRRAAAAYYYYYEEEERRRRSSSS
SO HOW MANY COPYS OF THE NEXT MIGHTY PRIEST BEAST METAL MONSTER ALBUM IS EVERYONE GOING TO GET
MORE THAN 1 RIGHT
KEEP THE METAL ALIVE

| Whatever the reason is for not making another studio album, one thing is for sure...we are all suffering the aftermath together theres no escaping it. I have "NO IDEA" what the real truth is and it may be unfair of me but I'm blaming it ALL on K.K. Downing as its "his band" and a;ways has been. |
