I totally agree with you, Mr. Diamond. I think I'm losing my faith in a forthcoming new album...

Thanks guys,I've been fine,Victoria and I couldn't be better and my pups are big HRMG,Linus is turning 2 this month and Lyla is a year and a half....to make a long story short sparing the details,we fell flat on our face broke ect....we didn't hit rock bottom but close...ect....but now things are good.
 
I am without internet right now.....I can aford it but have been procratinating for months lol I'm a Gemini what can I say? I have logged on to the site from time to time but when I see no new news it pisses me off!  I hate to bring up Saxon in this (lol) but they have put out 3 god damn albums from late 2009 till now they will have Sacrifice out next month....why can't Priest give us one?
 
Its become a joke gone bad man. Retribution may of not been thier best but it was the last normal heavy metal album by Priest and that was 8 years ago! Fuckin a...Rob came back in 2003....10 years ago....and they have only givin us 1 album to chew on and I think that "SUCKS" big balls guys. 

They mentioned a new album late 2010 in the works,2011 tehy said they are working on it by golly and then said it would be out 2012....and then said 2013 for sure...and now its the middle of Feb. and no new news? Not even a god damn song title? Album cover,album title...fucking anything? Its a Joke guys.....nothing we can do about it but I think it sucks.

You know what.... We will have a need Defenders of the Faith 30th Anniversery remaster before we get a new album.  Hell, we may have the Painkiller Anniversery album before then!

 Havent posted anything in nearly a year,a big hellow to Guido,Head Banger,HRMG,Spa,Becks,Budred,Hellrider...  I guess Halford should post a message like a president: And for the new year 2013 read my lips: NO NEW ALBUM! lol. 
Not even any news on any new tracks,ect.....makes one wonder if this supposed new album will be pushed into Jan 2014?  It just shouldn't be this difficult to push out an album. I read a few posts here and there,still talk of Halford's voice
not being perfect and what not....I know outside the internet around here Priest fans could care less about his vocal range,they just want to see him live and want a new LP.     JD

[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Thursday, February 07, 2013 11:30:54 AM 
Mike Davis, the kick ass bassist for Halford is in a new band called Death Dealer. You can check out 3 song previews here. Their first album will be out in 2013. The other members of the band are Ross The Boss - guitarist (Manowar, Dictators), Sean Peck - vocals (Cage), Stu Marshall - guitarist (Udo), and Rhino - drums (Manowar). Check them out!!

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 $$$$.

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?

[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Wednesday, February 06, 2013 11:24:00 AM 
We met up with friends at the show and they had been to Ripper's Tap House the night before. 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....

Believe it or not that was exactly what I was hoping for in Cleveland. With Ripper being from Akron I was almost expecting it.
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.

So that was YOU? I saw that, LOL! I had the privilege of finally meeting Ripper after the Dio Disciples show in Detroit at Harpo's. What a hell of a guy he is!! He has very fond memories of Priest and he strikes me as a very genuine man, so I doubt he is hiding anything. I asked him about the "Sold Out" sign on the '98 Meltdown CD and if it was from the show in Kalamazoo. He thought about it for a minute and said he believed it was and then got a HUGE smile on his face and said "That was a hell of a show!" 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!!!

I went to Ripper's facebook page and noticed a pic he posted of his days in Priest. I figured not but I asked him if he posted the pic
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.

As for the Halford band, I hope what Eddie Trunk said is true and they will release another album. But for those of you that enjoy the thundering bass that Mike Davis brings to the Halford band, here is a link to the new band he is in. I don't know what this means for Halford, but all the other guys have other projects as well, so it may not mean anything. The band is called Death Dealer and you can preview 3 songs here:

sorry, I missed this.  it will probably have no effect.  the lock is an anti theft system.  take out the key and turn the wheel.  sometimes happens by mistake when you hit it with your knee getting out.

Hey HB, remember a while back when I asked your advice about my key (ANY, I have three) not turning in my car? Well, happened today on the way to work. Before, it was in a parking lot and I only had the one key. Today, it was at home and I had access to all three. Not a one would turn that damn thing. Last time around you suggested graphite. I had a recall on it so had the Toyota boys do it. Today, out of frustration, I dabbed a little "3-in-One" on a key and tried again to no avail (never bought the graphite...as I said, the Toyota boys did it). Still. Didn't work. Damn thing was locked but good with all three keys. Called up the Toyota boys who are about an hour away from me and, after passing the phone around what seemed to be the entire service dept, I got someone who said to try to shake the wheel and if I have a little "play" to the right or left, crank it. Yup. did the trick. They should write that in the damn manual!

Question is, any problems you can see from my first use of the 3-in-1? I didn't flood it, just a dab on the key, but I know you know your shit. Tell me to put Crisco in there to offset the oil and I'll do it!

Which is a shame because Powerpuff Girls was a really good show. I even bought a couple of Gameboy Color games that were based on that show back when I was a youngin'. Actually, whatever happened to Hanna-Barbera? Any idea?

Interesting point about Boomerang. I'll still bet that more people can name all four teenage mutant ninja turtles (plus their master and arch enemy) before they can even name two of three Powerpuff Girls (who were Hanna-Barbera too, as I recall). Forget about asking Joe Shlub on the street the name of the Professor that created them.

Can't remember the last time I even saw TMNT on tv but Powerpuff girls are often on Boomerang. Staying power of the 80's-90's.

Dude, I am not the King of JP.com (I am the General....heh). Thus, no need to answer or apologize to me. Mention MRH anytime you want. Wasn't that the band I said that I'd even try to digup a bootleg for you so you could see your wife get that guitar pick? I'm just glad that you do recognize that the only time you really mention Priest, it is to trash them. Disrespect to do so on their own website, if you ask me. You KNOW something is wrong when you are on the same side as Bwian. Only true difference is to swap out MRH and his favorite, Maiden.

That said, post anything you so desire. If you recall, what really kicked this off was me saying that I liked the new Van Halen!

I'm not sure that you really care but I did try to find out the meaning of the two X's. I asked on their site
and the response that I got was that in the beginning they all wore different style masks and attire. After a few albums they decided
to have a more universal look. They all started wearing similar attire and masks that bore the XX symbol. To sum it up if I'm understanding
correctly the XX was the ending of one era and the start of another. Now they use the two X's in everything MRH.


@Guido, (and anyone else it bothers) I get your frustration with me mentioning these guys all the time.
I've mentioned Priest on their site but not to the extent that I've mentioned MRH here. I know that people here do not care about them.
I'll try to take that into consideration in future posts. What some should understand though is that I'm only trying to help keep this site going
by posting and contributing. I post about and contribute by discussing what's going on in my life or things that interest me in life. Right now
MRH is the band that interests me the most.

Not an apology or attempt at dialogue.
I know where we stand. I'm OK with it. Peace!

I get that you're kidding but I'm not sure why two x's.
They have an album (compilation of a couple albums) called XX
 and their logo is a face similar to Disturbed's logo and the eyes are basically x's
so it's probably a play on that.

Just got my tickets for Mushroomhead's "Nightmare Before XXmas" show in Geneva Ohio.
I chose that over a show a little closer to home because I'm off the next day. The bad thing is
that I bought VIP and it includes admission to the show I was skipping. I bought the VIP just to
get an event T and ended up with tickets to two shows. Now I may go to both just because of the
free admission. Good issue to deal with I guess.

Here is the thing, I absolutely believe that EVERYONE should have good healthcare and not be denied. Having said that, the government can't even run itself, how the fuck is it going to run healthcare??? Yeah, it isn't. Just talked to my director and he said that EVERY hospital our size will lose $20-30 million per YEAR due to lack of reimbursement when Obamacare starts next year. So, everyone will be allowed healthcare, but there will be NO HOSPITALS to go to, because with lack of reimbursement, they will all fold!!! I'll be out of a job because the lab can't run without money! Our instruments and reagents aren't free you know! Look at every country with socialized medicine - everyone pays a shit ton in taxes, like 50% to PAY FOR IT! Oh, but not here. Sorry, you can't have something and expect not to pay for it! I sure as hell don't want to pay 50% of my paycheck for it!! Guido, ask your mom, I'm very interested in her take on this where the lab is concerned and tell her I said HI.. .

straight income tax or overall taxation with property tax, sales tax, etc?

income here varies province to province, probably averages 35%.  I am in one of the lowest provinces, I pay about 30%.  if I earned more that would climb a bit.

total taxation is a little over 50% on average.

Exactly! That was $40 (copay) x 2 as I went to see him on Tues and again on Wed. I can only imagine what he charged the govt. Any fool could have said "antibiotics" without needing me to actually see him again. Add in the cost of the Rx? Pushing $300. Fastest way to run into debt in this country. Healthcare.

thats 40 bucks you paid, right.  co pay with insurance.

same thing happens here, the doctors call you in to tell you your tests were fine, they just send the whole bill to the government, not just part...

I'll throw in something very solid to the argument. I just had bloodwork done which came up perfect. Still, my regular physician preemptively sent me to a gastro. +$40 copay + three hours of my time. Both his nurse, him and me were scratching our heads about why I was sent to a gastro specialist with normal bloodwork. Still 3 hours waiting + $40. Odd thing was that night I went for a 7 mile run. Felt great until AFTER the run. Sparing the details, it got me back to the gastro again as I was really feeling ill (caught something in his office is my guess!). +$40 today plus $175 Rx as they weren't covered on my Rx plan. Doc only poked my stomach asking where it hurt and prescribed a general antibiotic! $40 for THAT?! WTF!!

I could only imagine what he REALLY made on both visits. Even better? I get a monthly phonecall today from some idiot who has the unfortunate task of asking about my health. THEY call but put me on hold for 20 minutes to only ask if I have any questions about my health. Only one I could think of was "why are you calling me...it raises my blood pressure." Bureaucracy at its finest. US healthcare system (aka Obamacare) SUCKS!!!
[Becks] Thursday, November 08, 2012 8:29:49 PM 
 Well I was over simplifying things - taxes everyone pays go towards paying for our public health system.

the government didnt pay, you did.

I am torn on this, I live in a country with socialized health care, and we were shipping pregnant women 5 hours away to montana to give birth.  honestly, I know as a man I will be killed for this, but on the overall medical spectrum, a normal birth is fairly simple.  C section, sure thats more involved, other complications, but a basic birth, we should be able to handle.  need knee surgery, sure no problem, see your DR, from that first visit to surgery, 2 years.  go to the USA, drop some cash, the same surgery you needed in 2 weeks.

I dont like the idea of people going bankrupt, or dying because they couldnt afford health care, but

and the idea our goverment proposes that we have the same service for everyone is crap.  a pro hocky player (thats on ice to you down under folk) tears up his knee, he could have surgery in 24 hours.  get hurt at work, 2 weeks.  know the prime minister, similar.  same guy who would have been 2 weeks if he got hurt at work gets hurt at home, could be 2 years.  bogus.

Not saying this to get in an argument by the way, just pointing out that big bad socialism isn't always a bad thing. In certain aspects. Capitalism certainly hasn't been going that well to be honest.

The US is far from socialist, and as far as I can see (from all the way down here) isn't actually heading in that direction. Speaking from a country that basically has socialised health care, which while it has it's problems, is pretty bloody fantastic. Example, all my maternity care, pre and post natal, and my c-section as well as my hospital stay, etc etc, cost me nothing.  Paid for by our government.

The world may as well end, though that was only an injection of humor! I hate O`drama, he has destroyed the US as we knew it, and the fact that he was re-elected is amazing after the first four years. How the hell can it get any better when he forces socialism down our throats and breaks any damned law he so chooses to to force this on us. We need a business man to run the country, not a lawyer that is a loop hole specialist. Our economy is big business, that is why we need a businessman to run the place. Checks and balances brother , not check after check after check!

Man, you're entitled to your opinions just like the rest of us but it is a little funny that you would rather
see the world end then have Obama as president. I was watching a video on youtube and someone posted that they want
him assassinated so we can heal. World ending and killings are what we need? OK.
Working together might help more but with these kind of attitudes...
On another note, it was hilarious watching his acceptance speech on "Fox News". You could see their anchors with a look of
disgust on their faces having to sit through it. I was in heaven. Then Bill O'Reilly, he was almost in tears! Excellent stuff.

A little clarification before I get hate posts. I don't hate all Republicans just all Republican politicians.
I am also open minded and if I really believed that the two sides were working together my hate would go away.(Now if only Fox News would.)
I was a little early on my Electoral college comment. When I made it Romney was winning the popular vote but losing the election.
Even though it ended up the other way that system is not fair. Remember Gore (yeah he's a dick) he got more of the popular vote but lost.
I hated him also but it wasn't fair to him just like it wouldn't have been fair to Romney last night. Also I love living in Ohio but there should be more
to an election than just winning this state. (I know that's not technically the case but the news would lead you to believe that.)
I'm glad it's over.
Now work together damn it.
[guidogodoy] Wednesday, November 07, 2012 1:05:44 AM 
Ok, Obama just finished. My question? What the hell are all those people doing in the Chicago cold at 1am?! No jobs? Hell, I have to work tomorrow to pay for all those politicos! Who bought all those little flags? I hope they were made out of recycled Detroit Tigers Championship shirts and caps.

(ps. I think Biden has porcelain teeth).
[guidogodoy] Wednesday, November 07, 2012 12:26:50 AM 
SAME! I assume that you are speaking of George W.? No matter. Same went for his father! The electronic vote I placed today was a laugh. "I vote for the person who will vote for me" was pretty much what the electronic screen I pressed actually read! I even had helpers to a touch-screen! Amazing! Can't poke a box, I say that you can't vote! Still, I live in a "red" state. Didn't matter a damn what I voted. Not a "key" state like....um...Ohio! Not even ALL Ohio, just where people outnumber the cows. I still argue that Gary Coleman would have fixed the ills of this nation. No matter that he passed on years ago.

Now, more important than Obama's "just made enough electoral college votes" speech that keeps me awake, what about Canada? Much more important! What of the poor mushroom people of Nova Scotia?!? The Royal Pudding might be spilled!

I put my "Vengeance" vote in today and I must say that I'm quite happy. As wrong as it is I'll say it to the world
or at least you guys, I still hate Republicans because of George Bush and vowed to myself that I would never vote
Republican again. I hate Fox News also and the way they divide this country. "Fair and Balanced" Are you kidding me?
After saying that I also have to say that I agree with Guido about our "Great" system. Even though it would mean I wouldn't
be so happy they must get rid of the electoral college. It just doesn't seem fair and aren't we the only ones using this system.
Why?
Lastly my hope for this Country is that the freakin' politicians actually start working together. "Bi-freakin- partisonship"
can get this country back on track. As bad as I hate Republicans, they hate Democrats the same. This has to change.
It's almost like civil war the way we carry on. I liked this Country better before Bush and Fox News and I've voted both ways over
the last 28 years and in my opinion it was never as bitter between the two as it has been since the two mentioned above.
Let's hope for a better future. Peace!
