I remember reading something once, along the lines that if a band signs a record deal, say for 9 albums etc, in order for either the record label or the band to run this contract down faster (perhaps if things aren't going quite as well as one or both parties had hoped) then live albums, double albums & compilations can be a good way to get to the end of said contract.
Perhaps, that's what we are seeing here now, with the release of "Nostradamus", "A Touch Of Evil - Live", "British Steel - 30th Anniversary", "Single Cuts Box-set" & now "The Chosen Few".
Not sure how many albums that would knock off the contract, but quite a few I'd imagine.
Food for thought anyway.

$160 REAIS? Meu Deus do ceu.
No advertising in a country like Brasil is an atrocity. Country of fanatics that would have flooded the place with even the slightest of promotion and, as you say, better opening bands.
I have always said that Detroit is a Metal Metropolis but I am sad to say that I fear the same is going to happen there. I can only hope that my gut instinct is wrong. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by JayDee Jepsen from Thursday, September 15, 2011 8:00:20 PM)

They turned into a joke on May 25th 2011 when they went on that shit fuck show called American Arsewipe!
Since that,i have not listen to a Judas Priest album and i am even embarrassed to be a Priest fan!
I won't wear a Priest shirt cause i don't want someone say to me,i saw them on American idol,so i stick with me Gorgoroth and Black Sabbath shirts!
Why i even come in here anymore,i don't know.
There are a few people in here that make laugh and that is why i guess!
But anyways,now with all the greatest hits cd's on the go i guess they are trying to cash in on American Idol fans and maybe,just maybe,they are going to be on Glee with Parental Guidance.
If so,well,i would not be shocked now!
On that note,take of yourselves and of each other!

That is very possible. I'm sure every band has different obligations to fulfill based on their contracts with the record label. It all depends on JP's contract whether they have any say or not about what is put out as well.
I remember reading something once, along the lines that if a band signs a record deal, say for 9 albums etc, in order for either the record label or the band to run this contract down faster (perhaps if things aren't going quite as well as one or both parties had hoped) then live albums, double albums & compilations can be a good way to get to the end of said contract.

lol Jimmy...."K.K." could be the reason the band is fucked up now as his Nostradamus ideas ( and yes K.K. started the Nostradamus project /ideas ) are the reason the band started to degenerate into a farce,if he would of shut his ego mouth and just followed Rob and Glenn into another normal metal album instead of dreaming up Nostradamus the band would of had a british metal album out already,Rob and Glenn realized that ending a career on Nostradamus seemed wrong....unlike "K.K.'' who was absolutely fine with that being the last Judas Priest album.....go figure....just my guess from what I know....
They were forced into a British Steel reunion tour because Ken didn't want to make another album and was still in the band and the management did not want to tour the nostradamus album like K.K. wanted to because it would not sell,so there ya go...but I do agree that the band & management are rehashing these lame compilation albums/live/best of.....it is a joke so I do agree with that. Now go figure....K.K. is out of the band and Rob and Glenn want to do a normal british heavy metal album again.....its sad to say but I believe K.K. was the entire downfall of Judas Priest starting in 2006 when the Retribution tour was over and when he started to create Nostradamus.
How could K.K. let Nostradamus be the last album in a "heavy metal "band's career? It just doesn't make any sense at all.....I'm glad Rob and Glenn are making at least one more album to top Nostradamus from being the last LP,no matter how good or bad it is it will definately be better than the shitty Nostralullaby album.

I'm not sure how much the band really has to do with this. Remember that survey sent to some people? It was from SONY. They asked about other bands we listened to. This was the record companies way of cashing in on Priest yet again without having to spend much money since everything is already recorded. But who do they think is going to buy this? Die hard fans already have everything, so we aren't going to buy it. They need to release stuff that we DON'T already have FFS, if they want us to spend our money.
Same goes here in the States - no promotion about the tour at all. But then again, it's managements decision how much money goes into the promotion budget. They just don't get it, you have to spend money to make money. I'm still running into people that have no idea that Priest is even touring right now and when they will be coming around and the Detroit show is in 2 months. It's just fucking sad that they are going out this way....
going from disheartened it could be all over, to maybe its time , really lemmy picks BTL!!! really????? i read the post below about the lack of advertising done by priest to promote their concerts and i have to agree, the most i have seen here in b.c. canada so far is at my local water slide for 80s night, win tickets to( in descending order ) santana, janet jackson then judas priest!!!! WTF a water slide is advertising the mighty? priest! . they might be able to rest on their laurals if they didnt avg. 1 album every 5 years. thats why with iron maiden , even though their last 6, 8? albums are marginal,have such success, they are out there every 2 years promoting and doing live shows and keeping the iron maiden brand a household name and on our side there seems to be a lot of apathy. we are all crying out for a new album but i think a lot , and i mean alot of us would be extermely happy with a back catalog/open up the vault tour, strip it down and make it intimate , a homage to the die hard fans out there!!!!, that being said, epitaph oct 30th in vancouver will absolutely kill , just how many other shows could have killed? , we will never know , sign me sad so sad

What a kick in the yarbles. As if many on that list had any street cred left to "pick."
Would make a helluva concert, though. As for the compilation, I think I'll just mix my own and invent the commentary.
Well folks another "kind of" sad day....no new stuff, just another Compilation release.....Management's Race to the bottom continues....No NEW material (yeah I know it's coming) and NO NEW DVD/AUDIO FOOTAGE FROM PAST SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (1983/1988/1990!!!!!)

Rant:
I've been a Priest fan for may years but their management sucks when it comes to promoting their concerts. I live in Brasilia, Brazil, when Iron Maiden came through here a few months ago there were billboard concert ads, radio announcements 5x/day, whole I.M. albums played on our cable tv digital music (Globo FM) for a week or two leading up to the concert.
Judas Priest- NADDA!!! no signage, no radio ads, no albums played on our digital cable music....NOTHING! and they wonder why few come to their shows...hmmmm
I guarantee when Priest comes to Brasilia it will be a gost town compared to when Iron Maiden came.

I'm glad that you aren't expecting a response because you won't get one. I emailed them several times the first time I tried signing up 3 years ago and never heard a word and that account was never approved, even 3 years later. You must have to know one of the admins to be let on. From what it seems like now, they only let tools on the site. I've heard from many people that it USED to be a great site, but now it isn't fun anymore. One friend had her account frozen without any explanation at all. She didn't have any problems with anyone and yet she can no longer post..... so the admins there are obviously on some kind of power trip.
I sent an email to the admins. Perhaps at least I'll get an explaination of the snaffu which seems to afflict many JP.com members? We shall see. I am expecting not even a reply. lol

Well, as you have your own complete with trademark green AND quoting Hellrider as your tagline , I would think that you are already set.

JUDAS PRIEST Singer Says '12 Or 14' Songs Have Been 'Completely Mapped Out' For Next Album - Sep. 1, 2011
Gary Graff of Billboard.com conducted an interview with singer Rob Halford of British heavymetal legends JUDASPRIEST. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On the band's next album:
Halford: [Guitarist Glenn Tipton and I] began writing new music early on this year, before we went out on the road. We have about 12 or 14 tracks completely mapped out, four of which have been recorded and mixed and are ready to go... so the good news is that there will be a brand new PRIEST record next year."
"I think it's fair to say that this is going to be just another great, traditional British heavy metal album from PRIEST with what you love about the band -- the riffs, the screaming vocals, all of the tradition and heritage that we try to keep somehow in our music as we've moved along."
On JUDAS PRIEST's ongoing "Epitaph" farewell world tour:
Halford: [We are] taking every opportunity to let our fans know this is not the end of JUDAS PRIEST. We're just cutting back on these big, long treks around the world that we love to do. But yet we're facing mortality; as a metal singer I'm still able to do the vast majority of things that have laid out before me...but I'd be the first to admit that I'm finding it more challenging now, and I don't want to get into that syndrome where you end up a little bit punch-drunk and you're not giving the performance that you want to give. I'm delighted that we're taking this approach because the inevitable payoff is that it gives the band more life. We're able to continue doing selective shows in the future and, as importantly, keep recording and making new metal records."
On possibly playing a live show based on PRIEST's 2008 concept album "Nostradamus":
Halford: "That is a very important record for us. We had a big-picture aspect of what we wanted to do with 'Nostradamus' in mind — of course, to play it in its entirety, which is completely feasible — and because we are cutting back on these intense tours we can focus more on that."
On how guitarist Kenneth "K.K." Downing's departure is comparable to his own time away from the band between 1992 and 2003:
"PRIEST has always been there. PRIEST has never been away. The attitude is that the band is bigger than you. The music and the heritage and the tradition of the band is bigger than one member of the group. That's really important to think about, you know?"
On Downing's replacement, Richie Faulkner:
Halford: "[He is] a phenomenal talent [and] a tremendous boost and a relief as well. There are a lot of different feelings we went through, But Richie is out there night after night, tearing up the stage and delivering the goods, as we like to say."
Update on my attempt to sign on to the Q. I can now sign on but I have still not recieved word from the admins about being able to do anything else. I'd say I never will. Can you get banned just for being you? Without ever posting a single thing? LOL.
I'd have to say the whole thing is rather shambolic. Maybe I'll be approved for posting when I no longer even care. It was just an experiment and I'd call it a FAIL.

It is a shame. You would think they could just say "Bloody Hell, we've done some pretty amazing stuff together over the years and we couldn't have done it without each other. Lets just bury hatchet and carry on doing it without bitching at each other" You would think that if they can get through their 20s and 30s with no problems that everything else would be easy. Really this kind of shit going on in your 40s 50s and 60s is crazy.
I have to agree with you there..... this is a business arrangement now. So very sad that it should all end this way. And if they do a bloody acoustic album, I'm gonna take a sledgehammer to it!!

EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read that! It was written by a woman who is obviously NOT a Priest fan, hanging out with the drunk people on the edges of the crowd. And to answer your question, YES the Priest fans ARE the only ones that matter!
Please excuse the re-quote now for the third time but... Judas Priest played a great set for Judas Priest fans.. Well, correct me if I`m wrong here, but AREN`T WE THE ONLY ONES THAT MATTER ?

Sounds to me like he could see what was going on up front as well as what was happening on the fringes, maybe he was backstage. Turns out it was a review from the Wacken Open Air Festival so after a couple of days of hard out moshing maybe the crowd were exhausted. Ozzy had the benefit of playing to them 24 hours earlier when they weren't so tired, hence the energy levels were higher when he played. He never at any point says that Priest played badly. He just says the crowd weren't as into it as they were the night before. More to the point, what I want to know is, with the back catalogue Priest have, why the fuck are they playing Prophecy of all songs? Tedious, unimaginative, standard metal riffs with annoying screechy voacls, stupid lyrics and the dumbest chorus ever a five year old could have thought up. If they are gonna crank out 15-20 songs that one doesn't deserve to be in there when thay have so many awesome tunes to pick from.

This is understandable, I think, because Ozzy has a much wider audience than what Priest has and even people who weren't diehard Ozzy fans would be familiar with the majority of his set. Hence the reason they perked up a bit when BTL was played. To tell you the truth I, as a big Priest fan for 20 years, would probably use Prophecy as a reason to go and grab a beer too. Also by the sounds of it this was a festival show so it's understandable that the crowds enthusiasm might have waned a little after however many hours moshing. And being a festival not necessarily everyone is there to see Priest anyway. I actually thought it was quite a favourable review and maybe it was taken as part of a review from the festival as a whole rather than a critique of Priests set alone.

Well, from the picture that Richie posted on FB of the crowd taken from the stage, it was a sea of people watching and loving Priest! Not to mention, the "reviewer" calls Prophecy "I am Nostradamus". Obviously NOT a Priest fan and can't even bother to get their facts straight before writing the review. Of course out of 77,000 people there, there are bound to be people that aren't there to see Priest and would hang out at the edges of the crowd with all the drunks..... And the last remark I find interesting: Judas Priest played a great set, for Judas Priest fans.... well, NO SHIT! So were they supposed to only play their radio stuff and then leave, would that have made it a good set for this "reviewer"???

Legendary midland metallers fail to follow in the footsteps of fellow Birmingham metal-god, Ozzy.
A two and a half hour headline set would be a lot for any band, but for Judas Priest – it’s just not worth it. The density and passion of those at the front made for a pretty great gig, but the telltale signs of apathy were to be seen around the edges where scores of tired and hungry rockers were ignoring the music in favour of bratwurst and a sit-down.
Acting every bit the metal gods they are in music history, covered in as many spiked studs as can fit on an entire suit made of leather and sporting some natty head tattoos, frontman Rob Halford spiralled about the stage swishing his fringed arms at the crowd during newer song ‘I am Nostradamus’. The on stage flames and laser displays weren’t enough to make this the epic headline performance it should have been, despite the talent and sheer classic metal high regard in which they are held.
Halford screamed into the night “Are you ready for Judas Priest style heavy metal?” to which one sleeping metal-head lifted his hat to say ‘Nein’. Fans perked up for ‘Breaking The Law’ and arrival of the huge black motorbike on stage. Ending the show wearing German flag, Halford sang them out in style.

I'm not there yet. I'm waiting for the word from the admins.
A second step in registering.
I suppose it's a good way to keep someone who's pissed off about something from just making an account and coming on the Q and starting a bunch of shit. Hopefully, I won't forget about signing up before they get back to me.
When/if I finally get registered, you'll know it's me.

Actually dipshit, I'm sure my signed HALFORD banner pic will get me on the Q because Rob knows who I am. So, why don't you just keep ignoring me instead of reading my messages, because that is what your ignore button is for? Sure you are on the Q, what a load of bullshit. You don't know squat about Priest or HALFORD and they would tear you apart for it! Why don't you comment over there about how great TOMMY Iommi is! LMFAO!!!

Me too! I just hope it stayed between the managements and didn't filter into the band. If Glenn and Jayne are as close as some people say, I hope he doesn't hold what JB said against Rob.
This was just posted this morning on the Q by Metal God Records:
Dear RH.com Visitors:
I withdrew my comments last week, for I chose not to sit on the sideline.
I have resolved all matters, and I will share general details of the resolution once the lawyers clean-up.
Rob Halford's participation in the tour was never an issue, and he will continue to tour with Judas Priest on its Farewell Tour.

John Baxter

Well I for one am glab JB has sorted his shit out. I never thought it was a band issue, I always thought something fishy was going on between management, as seems indeed the case!
As for the Q, took me two goes to get registered! LOL!
why post in the Q? second how. accounts are never aproved there.
Eternal Servant wrote:
What I meant "natural" is to think the message from JB was deleted because he didn't want it there.
Soap opera = drama = JB message-gate
Meanwhile I'll work on my English, you'll keep updating on that pendant situation.
Marathon man, not just lurk on the Q, post in the Q. How about that?
guidogodoy wrote:
While the scenario you describe is, indeed, "natural" at the Q it has certainly not always been the case. You could certainly give as many examples as I could.
As for the rest of your message to me, I frankly don't understand what you are trying to say (save for forget the uhhh .... "soap" .... drama)? An English problem, to be sure. Believe me, though, I keep my soap on a rope so there is nothing to drop. LOL!
Board members: heads-up! The "Tipton pendant" is stil unavailable! (that help?!?)
Eternal Servant wrote:
In the Q, if someone else uses the account of another person, that action results in banning according to the past posts by those who were banned for that reason.
If it showed that the message was from JB, it's natural to think he himself decided not to show it in public.
Marathon man, forget this soap drama and tell the board members update on Tipton pendant and tour diary on his site.

Soap opera = drama = JB message-gate
Meanwhile I'll work on my English, you'll keep updating on that pendant situation.
Marathon man, not just lurk on the Q, post in the Q. How about that?

While the scenario you describe is, indeed, "natural" at the Q it has certainly not always been the case. You could certainly give as many examples as I could.
As for the rest of your message to me, I frankly don't understand what you are trying to say (save for forget the uhhh .... "soap" .... drama)? An English problem, to be sure. Believe me, though, I keep my soap on a rope so there is nothing to drop. LOL!
Board members: heads-up! The "Tipton pendant" is stil unavailable! (that help?!?)

If it showed that the message was from JB, it's natural to think he himself decided not to show it in public.
Marathon man, forget this soap drama and tell the board members update on Tipton pendant and tour diary on his site.

Perhaps if I typed in green, you would understand the first point of my message you seemed to miss: "I don't mean to stir up shit..."
I got your reference to "soap drama." Did you understand the first part of my message? That I didn't intend to stir shit? Why on Earth would you bring it up?
I do appreciate your reference to me as a "marathon man," though. My last was actually in support of JAPAN! WTF? Please make all correspondence to me in the future in the name of "SCUBA man," ok? That is my latest interest.
As for the Q? You obviously have no idea who I am there. Look closer. How about that? Done with this topic. RATT RULZ!

The disappearance of the link to the Quorum make ppl think that JP camp took the JB message seriously.
JB message is gone in the quorum for good. I hope both camps let bygones be bygone.

I agree, people do have mood swings, but as a manager, you should not do it publicly. My other question is, why is Rob Halford.com NOT on this website???? Seems like something is going on behind the scenes and it never should have been made public!

JB was decent enough to realize his comments were inappropriate and deleted it.
I wasn't checking on the Q when it was posted and believe his thread was there just briefly.
If the deleted comments were left alone, it wouldn't have caused unnecessary embarrassment.
I was fortunate to encounter JB very briefly in Nagoya last year. He seemed like an easy-to-talk-to type a guy.
He's a human. Everyone has mood swing sometimes and does some things that he/she normally won't do.

Is it lame admins or what? I'm curious. 
, I would think that you are already set.
Judas Priest made great contributions in music history and JP camp has been supporting the band all these years!!
