there are those who truly love everything the band does. great fans
there are those who like a lot of what the band does, great fans
there are those who talk as though the band can do no wrong. not sure what they are. fanboys, starstruck, deaf???
a fan has the right to like of not like the album as they chose. I wont buy the album if they read their grocery list. I dont like nost, I like turbo though. we are all different, and will all voice our opinions. those who say that we cant say negative things, are wrong.

Admittedly the only thing reminiscent of 70's Priest I found was the tempo change in Death. Other than that, nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love Nostradamus and while some complain that it's too different, I actually find that a good thing, not a detriment. At the very least they're not continually resting on their laurels album after album... that's what we have the wannabes for (just about every power metal band who wishes to emulate Painkiller every time). However, when the tour and all that is over they should know when it's time to put the thing to rest (a common mistake that many bands make, it's been ten years and Iced Earth still hasn't given up on the Something Wicked thing, as much as I love those guys).
I'd be curious to know what it would sound like if they did at least ONE true thrash song, complete with the triplets and thrash beats and all that... hell, even a breakdown or two. With Halford's highs and the awesome twin leads I could see it being a fucking amazing tune.

I think that Nostadamus went a little to far outside the Judas Priest ball park.Yes its different but at the same time it leaves you craving the traditional Judas Priest sound which Nostradamus does not have at all.Some say that it has a 70's styled JP sound but I can just not hear that in Nostradamus at all.I really think that the band went off the track to far this time.K.K. is the mastermind behind this entire project and maybe he dipped into my pot stash?? lol!! no? lol!

Yeah I know your right, but I still can't stand Turbo. lol! I'm not here to convince you of not liking it,its just that its like food....my taste buds can't handle Turbo...I just spit it out each time! What bothers me is that Priest experiments from time to time(Turbo/Demolition/Nostradamus)and takes sooooooooo long to record another album.I understand they tour,ect..ect..and have certain obligations but they leave traditional long time Judas Priest fans waiting for another "normal" type of Judas Priest album and it sucks waiting that long. Even with Ripper Owens...they release Jugulator in 1997 and wait 4 long years only to put out the less than average experimental album"Demolition".
Then of course Rob comes back which takes a couple years to sort things out(4 years)and they put out the excellent LP "Angel Of Retribution"....only to wait another 3 years to release once again an "experimental" album(Nostradamus).Now with the band at around the ages of about 60 years old....do we have to wait another 5 years for the next(possibly the last)Judas Priest album? I hope not. I do hope that thier next album is not "experimental". Different is not better in almost every case.

I was 16 when Turbo was released and I about cried!!

I have to admit it is not my favorite Priest album, but I am 17 and most of JP's music was made before I excisted, and Turbo to me is a good album. I think a lot of Priest fans were alienated during that time period, to alienated to appreciate the album. Its like Nosrtadomus, you have to excpect something different. Both are great albums. Its a funny story that the 1st JP album I ever heard was British Steel, it was one of my Dads old records, and then I found Turbo which was on Cassette. I loved British Steel, and still do; but when I put in Turbo I remember thinking WTF? I just did not know what to think. I think that most Priest fans felt that way, and I understand. I just wish the critics would actually admire that Priest are a band who are constantly changing thier sound. I also wish JP would play Reckless live, it is a great song.
By the way, I own all the Priest albums now, and I love them all. |

I was not talking about you dissing Ram It Down, I was just saying Priest fans in general. Anyway this is an interview from Blabbermouth with Rob from Jan 2008. It makes me wonder, what happened?
Metal-Rules.com: When JUDAS PRIEST does get out on the road again, is there any chance that any material from the two albums that you weren't on — "Jugulator" and "Demolition" — will be performed live?
Halford: Yeah and I've said this before that those two records are as important in the PRIEST world as everything else. Glenn, K.K. and I have talked about this and I'd welcome it. I think it would be an exciting moment for me to cover the tracks that my mate Tim ["Ripper" Owens] worked on while he was with the band. So again, anything is possible. Each time when we put a set list together, it gets increasingly difficult because we've got so many songs from so many records that we just have to look at the set list and figure out what the favorites are and go from there. Again, PRIEST fans around the world are always putting ideas upon what they'd like to hear us do, but I think it would be kind of fresh to pick maybe one or two tracks from both of those records and just give it the Metal God touch.

I know what you mean about experimentation, KK should go back to the solo's like Sinner and Victim of Changes and Glenn could stick to his beautifully written melodic solo's like Beyond the Realms of Death and Touch of Evil. As for Turbo, i love the album, the first half is a fantastic array of tracks i mean Out in the Cold is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion and Locked in is one of my all time favourites. If you can't headbang to Private property there is something wrong with you lol and Rock you all around the world has some killer riffage! As for Ram it Down i think people would love it more if it was Holland playing all of the tracks. they even played the title track live on the RID tour and yet on the album they used a drum machine cause you can tell by the sound. Hard as Iron remains one of my favourite tracks to this day definately the best on the album. I think Love Zone and Blood Red Skies are awesome too but the solos in the title track i have to agree can't be any better, some of the best guitar work i have ever heard them do and Halford's screams literally perforate your ear drums absolute class. I wasn't dissing RID i was just merely stating that was when i was born and stating that unfortunately i never saw them live in the 80's. I love the two Ripper albums dearly and Sin after Sin, POE has 5 great tracks on which are, Heading out to the Highway, Hot Rockin', Desert Plains, Solar Angels and You Say Yes. The rest are ok but those tracks i love. I do need to listen to Sin after Sin more though i reckon!

Recently I have been listening to some Priest albums that get pushed to the side most of the time. Turbo, Point of Entry, Jugalator, Demolition, Sin after Sin, and Ram It Down. They are all great albums, but the most under rated album has to be Ram it Down. I know that Ram It Down is regarded as one of the worst Priest albums, but thats being compared to other Priest albums. That is some stiff competition if you ask me. Ram it Down is truly a hidden treasure. Yeah it has a drum machine, yes some of the lyrics arent that great, BUT Rob's vocals are perfect here, the guitar work could not get any better. Listen to the song Ram It Down, the solo is just killer. Hard as Iron is another great. I am just saying that those who diss Ram it Down need to take another listen, (Quoting Message by JT_Small_Deadly_Space from Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:27:22 AM)

I agree mate i always wanted to know why they never played any Ripper Material with Halford i mean after all tracks like, One on One, Hell is Home, Burn in Hell, Cathedral Spires and Bullet Train are fantastic tracks it aint as if he wrote the songs lol. I know what you mean about experimentation, KK should go back to the solo's like Sinner and Victim of Changes and Glenn could stick to his beautifully written melodic solo's like Beyond the Realms of Death and Touch of Evil. As for Turbo, i love the album, the first half is a fantastic array of tracks i mean Out in the Cold is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion and Locked in is one of my all time favourites. If you can't headbang to Private property there is something wrong with you lol and Rock you all around the world has some killer riffage! As for Ram it Down i think people would love it more if it was Holland playing all of the tracks. they even played the title track live on the RID tour and yet on the album they used a drum machine cause you can tell by the sound. Hard as Iron remains one of my favourite tracks to this day definately the best on the album. I think Love Zone and Blood Red Skies are awesome too but the solos in the title track i have to agree can't be any better, some of the best guitar work i have ever heard them do and Halford's screams literally perforate your ear drums absolute class. I wasn't dissing RID i was just merely stating that was when i was born and stating that unfortunately i never saw them live in the 80's. I love the two Ripper albums dearly and Sin after Sin, POE has 5 great tracks on which are, Heading out to the Highway, Hot Rockin', Desert Plains, Solar Angels and You Say Yes. The rest are ok but those tracks i love. I do need to listen to Sin after Sin more though i reckon!

I might not know all of the tech spec but i know enough to get me by. Yes i am a drummer and on skill level and being fun to watch Scott does it for me over Holland. Na i never saw Priest back in the 80's unfortunately i was born when they released ram it Down and the only concerts i saw featuring Holland were Live Vengeance and Turbo on the Electric Eye DVD. As for not much else after Painkiller, Jugulator is by far the best drumming album for Scott and he shows his real talent here fair enough Halford wasn't with the band but the other 4 were and i still love the music produced in the Ripper years. If i had to pick an individual track i would say that Bullet Train is his best drumming performance with Priest or definately near the top. AOR was a fantastic album for drumming, the drumbeat for Revolution alone was hands down the most creative beat i've ever heard from any Priest drummer. Judas is Rising, Deal with the Devil, Demonizer and Hell-rider are all great drum tracks too. Nostradamus i agree his drumming isn't the most creative but i guess it's what fits although there are some exceptions, Persecution, Pestilence and Plague, Conquest, prophecy and Nostradamus are great tracks for drums even if not the most complicated but fun to play. Yeah Scott has a lot of stage presence behind the kit and he's always flowing and loose rather than being stiff. As for no detail and leaving out intricate parts of songs done by Holland, could you please give a few examples? I'm not attacking here i just want to see what you mean and i'll tell you if i agree.

You seem to know alot about drums (drum specs wow..) in general and about the "big hard rock sound" from the 80's. You also mention the studio too...(like you know). All Im saying is Travis plays the older material with no detail and leaves out the intricate parts of the songs. Did you see Holland w/ JP live in your day or are you going off your SFV video? Also stage presence behind what? the drums?
Also, Travis has been criticized (sp?) on the last 2 JP releases: AOR & NSTRDMS "of mailing it in" in the studio on his drum playing...I'll give you Painkiller but after that....not much
Everyone has an opinion & that's whats great.
| | | JT_Small_Deadly_Space wrote: | | Oh man please, Holland was a great time keeper and all but he had as much stage presence as a wet fart. As for having the thump, that was down to the drum specs alone, back in the 80's kits were made with larger and deeper sized toms for a more hard rock feel, hence the intense sound of the kit on albums such as Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith. Travis uses a kit more for modern metal with a clean cut sound but is not as deep. His toms are way smaller and he uses a much smaller kit than what Holland did. But Travis plays with way more power i mean have you seen the size of him? and if you disagree, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q794_DEWOuE) should prove that point. I agree sometimes he looks bored but its because he is used to challenging himself with technical drumming from the likes of Racer X, Painkiller and Angel of Retribution. He still entertains the crowd massively with such stunts as stick throwing.. and catching, stick twirling, hand switching on some songs and interacting with the crowd. His double bass work is flawless for what he does and it puts him light years ahead of Holland. At least he manages to play songs from the Simon Philips/ Les Binks era correctly as Holland failed miserably at that i mean listen to Sinner and Victim of Changes from the Live Vengeance 82 DVD (i know Les didn't record on Sad Wings od Destiny but his version is much better than Alan Moore's) which Scott plays perfectly.
Long live Scott and the rest of the metal Gods!

Listen to Travis play any of the Pre-Painkiller stuff and he does not have the thump nor does he play the parts with the same intensity as Holland. The Ripper, Desert Plains etc.. I'll take Holland anyday on the old stuff. Travis is all dry run sounding without the parts. Even when they did Devils Child on this past tour, Travis played it with no emotion like he has somewhere to go.. Do not compare the ERA's please!

That's the beauty of Priest they never stay the same. They always change it up and you never know what to expect, the only thing you can largely rest assured of is it will be well worth buying and listening to for hours on end!

1. Judas Priest
2. The Rolling Stones
3. AC/DC

I think it is very sad though when people can not name a single member from the Rolling Stones, worst of all some kids think they are a clothing line. I wear a JP shirt to school and people think Judas Priest is a person!!! I do not claim my generation.

I don't dislike Turbo, I thought it had it's merits for the time it was made and there are some songs on there that still make me very happy. But as Priest goes, I think it was one of their most "trendy" albums and therefore, why it does not stand the test of time as many other LP's. IMO.

Scott Travis- God of Drums
I think anything they put out will blow us away!!!
I heard there may be a live album out soon with Exciter on it. Does anyone know anything about it?
Also, I know this is random, is there any NASCAR fans on here?
One more thing I think Goats Head Soup is the most under rated Stones album there is. Critics bash it but to me it is great. Does anyone agree?..... |

JT: Are you a drummer too? You seem to know alot about drums (drum specs wow..) in general and about the "big hard rock sound" from the 80's. You also mention the studio too...(like you know). All Im saying is Travis plays the older material with no detail and leaves out the intricate parts of the songs. Did you see Holland w/ JP live in your day or are you going off your SFV video? Also stage presence behind what? the drums?
Also, Travis has been criticized (sp?) on the last 2 JP releases: AOR & NSTRDMS "of mailing it in" in the studio on his drum playing...I'll give you Painkiller but after that....not much
Everyone has an opinion & that's whats great.

Travis uses a kit more for modern metal with a clean cut sound but is not as deep. His toms are way smaller and he uses a much smaller kit than what Holland did. But Travis plays with way more power i mean have you seen the size of him? and if you disagree, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q794_DEWOuE) should prove that point. I agree sometimes he looks bored but its because he is used to challenging himself with technical drumming from the likes of Racer X, Painkiller and Angel of Retribution. He still entertains the crowd massively with such stunts as stick throwing.. and catching, stick twirling, hand switching on some songs and interacting with the crowd. His double bass work is flawless for what he does and it puts him light years ahead of Holland. At least he manages to play songs from the Simon Philips/ Les Binks era correctly as Holland failed miserably at that i mean listen to Sinner and Victim of Changes from the Live Vengeance 82 DVD (i know Les didn't record on Sad Wings od Destiny but his version is much better than Alan Moore's) which Scott plays perfectly.
Long live Scott and the rest of the metal Gods!

I think the next realease will be something we were really not expecting. Something bold, new, and different, just like they have done all along. Never move backwards, afterall Defenders was 24 years ago, I'm sure they have a progessive styling commin up that we will just be blown away by.

Technically, I would say Holland was the least talented drummer JP had. There was Simon, a well sought after studio drummer who was a double kicker, who played on the studio recording of Sin after Sin. Simon would not go on tour with them and they found Les Binks who also played double Bass drums. They were both very intense drummers. What Dave gave to the band, although he could not play double kick bass drums, was consistency. He stayed for 10 years and that was a feat they had not been able to achieve prior to him. Sometimes consistency makes up for some short commings. I don't think Scott looks bored behind his drums. I think he is intense and concentrating on what he is doing. He is an outstanding drummer.

Mple Syrup,
I do not think that Dave Holland played drums for JP on the Sad Wings of Destiny album, or the 70's at all.
All I am saying is that it would be cool to hear. It is certanly true that Holland could pound away on the drums, but he lacks the complexity of Scott's drumming. I also believe that Scott played excellent on ALL of the live albums he has been featured in, and on ALL the songs that are featured on them.

Although Nostadamus is a masterpiece of originality,and absolute "different"........I believe that the rest of the band's career should be focused on the style of "Judas Priest" rather than doing something different. If the band only has 1 or 2 albums left I would hope they would not experiment.
True every JP album is not the same....but for the most part albums like Sad Wings Of Destiny, Hell Bent For Leather,British Steel,Point Of Entry,Screaming For Vengeance,Defenders Of The Faith,Ram It Down,Painkiller,Jugulator and Angel Of Retribution run on the same type of patterns,where as Turbo,Demolition and Nostradamus go to far outside for myself. |
