I'm sorry to hear that you and Victoria fell on tough times. I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better now.
I gotta admit, I'm getting quite impatient with Priest as well. This has gotten ridiculous. You are absolutely right, why can't they give us some news unless there isn't any...... I see Richie flying here and there, obviously not working on the album. So either they are mixing it or Glenn is going OCD on it. What happened to releasing a song on the website??? Yeah right. They did much better when they were pushing their albums through, one every year or two. Now they spend way too much time on them, overthinking them. I liked Nostra for what it was, but that should NOT be their last album FFS!!!

I don't believe so, at least I'd never heard that. Scott and Richie are employees and have no say in what Priest does. Rob on the other hand has a 1/3 vote now that KK is gone. Isn't Baxter suing Priest because they didn't pay Rob what he believes they owe him and therefore Rob can't pay Baxter his cut of that? I doubt they want to release anything while this is still going on so that Baxter can't get his greedy paws on any of the $$$$.

now I wonder something. I heard on eddie trunk the other day that vince neil isnt a member of motley anymore, he is an employee, which he said was comon when someone quits a band and is brought back. is that the case with Rob?

They asked him if he was going to the Priest show and he said he wasn't sure. Right then and there I knew that nothing had been planned for Ripper to go onstage. I really think that is a shitty thing to do to him. Without Ripper, there would have been NO Priest for Rob to come back to!! The other thing that pisses me off is when they say stuff like we'll be doing a song from every album or this includes our entire catalog.... Um, no it doesn't. They should say our albums/catalog with Rob, IMO.
Wow, I knew that they didn't let him write anything and I heard they told him how to sing, but I didn't realize it was THAT controlling! Well, once Rob left, Glenn completely took over. Had they let Ripper have some input in how he sang the songs, maybe the vocal lines would have been better. I love Ripper's voice, but there was always something not quite right about how he was singing on those two albums. This explains that for sure - you have to let the singer have some freedom in how they sing.
I wouldn't rip you about you saying that they need Ripper back even though I don't agree with it. Now I see why you said it. I really wonder if this Baxter lawsuit is holding up stuff with Priest as well....

I also thought it was wrong not including any of his stuff on the last tour. After all he had absolutely nothing to do with the musical
direction they took. I got to meet Ripper a couple of times also. Once at a bar in Akron and he actually sat with us at a booth and
had a beer and was answering our questions. He never said anything negative about Priest but he did say that he didn't control
anything not even his singing style. He even joked about how bad he hated one of the jackets they made him wear. It was a
black leather(of course) jacket with mirrors all over it. I think Ripper is one of the most down to earth guys that I have ever met.
I believe he is as genuine as they come. Thanks for not ripping me for suggesting they need him back.

I don't know about you, but I was really hoping that he was going to come out on stage and sing a duet with Rob in Cleveland. One thing that upset me is the fact that none of Ripper's stuff was represented in the Epitaph setlist. I just think that was wrong. Rob said he didn't have a problem singing the Ripper era stuff, so why didn't they at least do 1 song? Gotta say, I would have loved to have heard Rob and Ripper do a duet on Cathedral Spires!!!

because of something going on between him and Priest. I also ask him how he felt about Rob's return and his dismissal from the band.
I was a little surprised to see that he actually responded to me. He said nothing was going on with him and Priest and he said he loved Rob
and had a great time with Priest. I thought it was cool that he answered me and I think it's cool he's still cool with Priest. (alot of cools)(lol)
I thought there might be a little animosity but I guess not unless he hides it. I doubt that though because he has a emblem at the top of his page
that says JP social club. |

I would bet the lawsuit is holding things up. baxter sued everyone who was even remotly priest related. heck he would have sued the membership here if he could have figured out how to do it.
now I wonder something. I heard on eddie trunk the other day that vince neil isnt a member of motley anymore, he is an employee, which he said was comon when someone quits a band and is brought back. is that the case with Rob?

They asked him if he was going to the Priest show and he said he wasn't sure. Right then and there I knew that nothing had been planned for Ripper to go onstage. I really think that is a shitty thing to do to him. Without Ripper, there would have been NO Priest for Rob to come back to!! The other thing that pisses me off is when they say stuff like we'll be doing a song from every album or this includes our entire catalog.... Um, no it doesn't. They should say our albums/catalog with Rob, IMO.
Wow, I knew that they didn't let him write anything and I heard they told him how to sing, but I didn't realize it was THAT controlling! Well, once Rob left, Glenn completely took over. Had they let Ripper have some input in how he sang the songs, maybe the vocal lines would have been better. I love Ripper's voice, but there was always something not quite right about how he was singing on those two albums. This explains that for sure - you have to let the singer have some freedom in how they sing.
I wouldn't rip you about you saying that they need Ripper back even though I don't agree with it. Now I see why you said it. I really wonder if this Baxter lawsuit is holding up stuff with Priest as well....

I also thought it was wrong not including any of his stuff on the last tour. After all he had absolutely nothing to do with the musical
direction they took. I got to meet Ripper a couple of times also. Once at a bar in Akron and he actually sat with us at a booth and
had a beer and was answering our questions. He never said anything negative about Priest but he did say that he didn't control
anything not even his singing style. He even joked about how bad he hated one of the jackets they made him wear. It was a
