Freeze,maybe its about "time" that the band "should" hang it up and call it a day. There will never be a Painkiller 2 or do I want a Painkiller part 2. But the band could of easily created another album
that is in the same vien as Angel Of Retribution without copying it. Instead,they chose an album that they knew would not please "long-time-fans" in Nostradamus.
That is thier choice,not ours.
I agree with you 99% but the other 1% leaves me with the thought of: " I would rather just see them retire NOW than put out another experimental album".Nostradamus has already done enough damage to old Priest fans.
I guess I am not as much as a Priest fan as everybody here...I'm probly the least Priest fan compared to all of you guys.
I don't want a "box of chocolates" for the next Judas Priest album..."Ya never know what your going to get"....
And if Rob is showing his signs of wear & tear especially on stage,then he needs to force Judas Priest into retirement. I am happy with that.I don't really want another Judas Priest album after what you just told us all,that scares me.
We will all have the memories,the concerts(I have'nt seen Judas Priest since 1988 Ram It Down Tour) and the albums. I do not own "Nostradamus" and I might never own it.
But I do have and love Angel Of Retribution,and if I get a Priest craving then I can always put it on and listen to it.
Again,after what you have told us about Rob on stage,I am cool with Judas Priest to retire,please do not let there be a next LP.

I guess I will finally comment. Not so much about the bickering, as I have long ago taken my fill of that nonsense but of Priest and Nostradamus and their possible next album.
Nostradamus is OK by me. It is not a "masterpiece", for me. It is not a "disaster", for me. It is just OK. I can understand what the Band was trying to do. All fine by me. Someone a few posts down said something that makes the most sense to me...it was about Rob. Here's where I am going with this;
I have said to many of you (in private) that I sense Rob is losing his interest or just plain tiring. I hate to put it that way but I find that I cannot explain it another way. His vibe onstage during the Vegas show last year was one of weariness (Yes. I know it was the final show of that leg!). He made the comment during several shows last year, "..the Priest is back!...Again!" The way he punched the word "again" gave me pause. Has he reached the end? I cannot say. Certainly there are classic songs (Painkiller, Sinner) that really suffer now because he is unable to sing as he did thirty years ago. Please don't get me wrong! The music and the show are still awesome! But, Rob and the others are obviously not in their twenties anymore and it shows. Moreso with Rob's voice in the more challenging pieces.
There will never be a Painkiller II. There cannot be. There is no way Rob can do those kinds of songs. Moreover, it is becoming clearer to me that he may have reached the point where he is physically unable to do this. I am (nearly) fifty and I know I could not tour, regardless of my health issues. The guys are ,what?..sixty-something? People! Come on! The physical demands of touring as one passes sixty and heads towards seventy are remarkable!
I would hate to say good-bye to the guys on a professional level. I love them and their music. I am also a realist. Nothing lasts forever. If they do have another album in them, I am ready to hear it. If it is a follow-up to Nostradamus, so be it. I will listen. If they return to a more "classic" sound, I will listen. If (and we ALL know someday they WILL) they decide to say good-bye, I will always have what they left us. GREAT music and a lifetime of wonderful memories. |

The guys are ,what?..sixty-something? People! Come on! The physical demands of touring as one passes sixty and heads towards seventy are remarkable!
I would hate to say good-bye to the guys on a professional level. I love them and their music. I am also a realist. Nothing lasts forever. If they do have another album in them, I am ready to hear it. If it is a follow-up to Nostradamus, so be it. I will listen. If they return to a more "classic" sound, I will listen. If (and we ALL know someday they WILL) they decide to say good-bye, I will always have what they left us. GREAT music and a lifetime of wonderful memories. |

Maybe it is "SELFISH" of me to expect them to write to MY likings,but I can't help it.
And to DEEP FREEZE..... LOL! No,I am NOT going to go on a shooting spree...LOL!!!! But you might see me on the news running around naked on the streets of Seattle being hosed down by the fire department!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

hellrider I am with you...I should of said that "I do want another Painkiller"...but I don't think that the band "has it in them" anymore..god I hope I am wrong....
There would be nothing more I would enjoy than logging onto this web site with an "apology" for doubting Judas Priest. At least if that happens,I will have to admit I was wrong but at the same time I would get a killer Judas Priest album!
I wish I will have to apologize if there is going to be a next album???
I am "afraid" of Judas Priest......opening up a new CD from them and putting it on to listen to is like trying to cut the right wires to a "bomb". Its that scarry to me.

Freeze,maybe its about "time" that the band "should" hang it up and call it a day. There will never be a Painkiller 2 or do I want a Painkiller part 2. But the band could of easily created another album
that is in the same vien as Angel Of Retribution without copying it. Instead,they chose an album that they knew would not please "long-time-fans" in Nostradamus.
That is thier choice,not ours.
I agree with you 99% but the other 1% leaves me with the thought of: " I would rather just see them retire NOW than put out another experimental album".Nostradamus has already done enough damage to old Priest fans.
I guess I am not as much as a Priest fan as everybody here...I'm probly the least Priest fan compared to all of you guys.
I don't want a "box of chocolates" for the next Judas Priest album..."Ya never know what your going to get"....
And if Rob is showing his signs of wear & tear especially on stage,then he needs to force Judas Priest into retirement. I am happy with that.I don't really want another Judas Priest album after what you just told us all,that scares me.
We will all have the memories,the concerts(I have'nt seen Judas Priest since 1988 Ram It Down Tour) and the albums. I do not own "Nostradamus" and I might never own it.
But I do have and love Angel Of Retribution,and if I get a Priest craving then I can always put it on and listen to it.
Again,after what you have told us about Rob on stage,I am cool with Judas Priest to retire,please do not let there be a next LP.

I guess I will finally comment. Not so much about the bickering, as I have long ago taken my fill of that nonsense but of Priest and Nostradamus and their possible next album.
Nostradamus is OK by me. It is not a "masterpiece", for me. It is not a "disaster", for me. It is just OK. I can understand what the Band was trying to do. All fine by me. Someone a few posts down said something that makes the most sense to me...it was about Rob. Here's where I am going with this;
I have said to many of you (in private) that I sense Rob is losing his interest or just plain tiring. I hate to put it that way but I find that I cannot explain it another way. His vibe onstage during the Vegas show last year was one of weariness (Yes. I know it was the final show of that leg!). He made the comment during several shows last year, "..the Priest is back!...Again!" The way he punched the word "again" gave me pause. Has he reached the end? I cannot say. Certainly there are classic songs (Painkiller, Sinner) that really suffer now because he is unable to sing as he did thirty years ago. Please don't get me wrong! The music and the show are still awesome! But, Rob and the others are obviously not in their twenties anymore and it shows. Moreso with Rob's voice in the more challenging pieces.
There will never be a Painkiller II. There cannot be. There is no way Rob can do those kinds of songs. Moreover, it is becoming clearer to me that he may have reached the point where he is physically unable to do this. I am (nearly) fifty and I know I could not tour, regardless of my health issues.

If (and we ALL know someday they WILL) they decide to say good-bye, I will always have what they left us. GREAT music and a lifetime of wonderful memories. |

There would be nothing more I would enjoy than logging onto this web site with an "apology" for doubting Judas Priest. At least if that happens,I will have to admit I was wrong but at the same time I would get a killer Judas Priest album!
I wish I will have to apologize if there is going to be a next album???
I am "afraid" of Judas Priest......opening up a new CD from them and putting it on to listen to is like trying to cut the right wires to a "bomb". Its that scarry to me.

that is in the same vien as Angel Of Retribution without copying it. Instead,they chose an album that they knew would not please "long-time-fans" in Nostradamus.
That is thier choice,not ours.
I agree with you 99% but the other 1% leaves me with the thought of: " I would rather just see them retire NOW than put out another experimental album".Nostradamus has already done enough damage to old Priest fans.
I guess I am not as much as a Priest fan as everybody here...I'm probly the least Priest fan compared to all of you guys.
I don't want a "box of chocolates" for the next Judas Priest album..."Ya never know what your going to get"....
And if Rob is showing his signs of wear & tear especially on stage,then he needs to force Judas Priest into retirement. I am happy with that.I don't really want another Judas Priest album after what you just told us all,that scares me.
We will all have the memories,the concerts(I have'nt seen Judas Priest since 1988 Ram It Down Tour) and the albums. I do not own "Nostradamus" and I might never own it.
But I do have and love Angel Of Retribution,and if I get a Priest craving then I can always put it on and listen to it.
Again,after what you have told us about Rob on stage,I am cool with Judas Priest to retire,please do not let there be a next LP.

I guess I will finally comment. Not so much about the bickering, as I have long ago taken my fill of that nonsense but of Priest and Nostradamus and their possible next album.
Nostradamus is OK by me. It is not a "masterpiece", for me. It is not a "disaster", for me. It is just OK. I can understand what the Band was trying to do. All fine by me. Someone a few posts down said something that makes the most sense to me...it was about Rob. Here's where I am going with this;
I have said to many of you (in private) that I sense Rob is losing his interest or just plain tiring. I hate to put it that way but I find that I cannot explain it another way. His vibe onstage during the Vegas show last year was one of weariness (Yes. I know it was the final show of that leg!). He made the comment during several shows last year, "..the Priest is back!...Again!" The way he punched the word "again" gave me pause. Has he reached the end? I cannot say. Certainly there are classic songs (Painkiller, Sinner) that really suffer now because he is unable to sing as he did thirty years ago. Please don't get me wrong! The music and the show are still awesome! But, Rob and the others are obviously not in their twenties anymore and it shows. Moreso with Rob's voice in the more challenging pieces.
There will never be a Painkiller II. There cannot be. There is no way Rob can do those kinds of songs. Moreover, it is becoming clearer to me that he may have reached the point where he is physically unable to do this. I am (nearly) fifty and I know I could not tour, regardless of my health issues. The guys are ,what?..sixty-something? People! Come on! The physical demands of touring as one passes sixty and heads towards seventy are remarkable!
I would hate to say good-bye to the guys on a professional level. I love them and their music. I am also a realist. Nothing lasts forever. If they do have another album in them, I am ready to hear it. If it is a follow-up to Nostradamus, so be it. I will listen. If they return to a more "classic" sound, I will listen. If (and we ALL know someday they WILL) they decide to say good-bye, I will always have what they left us. GREAT music and a lifetime of wonderful memories. |
