Don`t worry Ron, it seems that my comment bothered him/her a lot. It`s sad when people don`t show any respect for what musicians do. Some people don`t know how difficult it is to make music and remain at the top for more than 30 years. Few bands can accomplish this, just the best.
I know everybody should express freely in this Board. We all have different opinions and that`s valid. There's no need of offending others.
I`ve checked out all Priest discography, thanks!

It`s their most ambitious project to date. An album that shows their versatility and experience as musicians. They dared to do something different within the genre and most important of all they did it from their hearts. Both albums would be great live.

Very interesting, young man. It would seem to me that you fancy yourself some kind of authority on music, not to mention intelligence, based on some kind of logistical criteria. Unfortunately, your specious arguments serve only to expose you as yet ANOTHER trouble making "know-it-all" with VERY little substance and less education.

Please explain how it is that someone who is going on and on about an album begins by not even having the brains to spell "BRITISH" correctly?? Also, I am not sure what kind of school system is available in YOUR area but one cannot "take it  personal" when the word is an adverb and one would be taking it personally. MORE brilliance, MENSA.  Further, you continue to refer to "we" as if you and those in your particular area are somehow better or more well-informed with regard to music and its viability. What is it that can possibly be "learned" from you? Poor spelling? Elitism? Unless one is royalty, referring to oneself as "we" is nonsense and makes one look foolish. Well done!

It is interesting that you are so very proud of those in YOUR area yet you (conveniently) do not say where that is... Clearly, it is a "hot bed" of musical superiority!  Not much for educated conversation and polite dialogue but you surely know your way around an album, huh? Before you come to this site and begin a feeble campaign to insult it's members, perhaps you should take a few summer school classes in English? You certainly must have time as you cannot possibly hold down a job with such poor communication skills.

Yes Ron, it was unanimous-Everyone in my area who was a Judas Priest fan before Brittish Steel was disappointed with that release. As I mentioned before it may have been different in the deep suburbs of Oklahoma. By the time we heard the solo for Headin out the Highway for the first time, we burst into laughter and began playing it left handed. I like it better now by the way but it is quite simple and dumbing-just get a good tone and play it cool. Spandex? Brittish Steel is what many people think of when they hear the word spandex. Perhaps you are the pot calling the kettle black? Are you going to wear them to the show? Also, maybe those red pants will be back on stage for this Brittish Steel tour. It would be only fitting.

chileansteel it's not surprising that Brittish Steel recently converted you to this band but if it "blew your mind" I'm sorry, but there must not be much there.
It is obvious with your generic and shallow clichés that you are quite young and new to the band. Welcome! You will find much better music in their catalog as your mind matures.

I guess it is an "important" album if you consider it is responsible for bringing the mainstream idiots to the band and also for non-fans knowing Priest's music.

I clearly remember the disappointment when Brittish Steel came out and sounded so feeble compared to previous albums-especially the powerful Unleashed in the East. All of us Priest fans were disappointed and of course a bunch of new people flaunted the marketable blade. Many years later these same original fans still laugh when a new fan claims that Brittish Steel is one of Prierst's best albums or is even any good. To this day I have yet to buy that album and I never will. Most Priest albums I have bought 2 or 3 LP's, 2 or 3 tapes of various formats, and 2 or 3 versions of the cd's.

Both albums are excellent. In the first place British Steel is a very important album in their career which includes "Breaking The Law", a metal hymn, absolute classic, one of the best tracks in the history of heavy metal. I think they were so much inspired . British Steel led me to know Judas Priest and become a fan. It just blew my mind!

Nostradamus is a wonderful album Priest are really proud of. It`s their most ambitious project to date. An album that shows their versatility and experience as musicians. They dared to do something different within the genre and most important of all they did it from their hearts.

Both albums would be great live. Priest always kick ass live, the shows are awesome, they never disappoint me. Looking forward to seeing them in Chile again!!!

Well in 1980 I remember Ace of Spades, Heaven & Hell, Blizzard of Oz, and Iron Maiden's debut plus many, many local metal bands making Living after midnight sound like pre-teen pop which is what it was and still is. Possibly in the Deep Suburbs of Oklahoma this would sound Metal in 1980 but not for me living in the Metal Capital of the world.

The fact is it is 2009 & they want us to listen to them snooze through the (limited) motions of performing the boring brittish steel? Maybe in 1980 I could stomach it but as some of you know, it was a bit different then and so am I. They are even saying that they will play the entire album plus other "classics". No mention of Nostradamus songs. I know many people skipping this tour and many who will travel extensively to see Nostradamus played. These are people who go see good live bands of all types.

Looking at the "epic" albums mentioned, it is obvious you like pre-teen pop (including the modernly glorified and overly processed emo type) and that would explain why you would even think of defending Judas Priest's least adventerous album. 

It seems that those who only listen to "metal" do not like the Nostradamus album but those who actually listen to music and who actually go see the most talented musicians play any type (and often not labelable) of music, enjoy the Nostradamus album. People who go to over 100 shows a year & who are capable of listening to a variety of time signtures and tones love the Nostradamus album. That is ok but this helps explains the "simp" adjective a littlle bit so I won't explain any further at this time. Plus those "epic bands" sound like terribly recorded elevator music with comedic vocals. Those are not good musicians and you are obviously not either, so I will excuse your misguided & sheltered ideas as an uninformed opinion. god's wind & Summoning (the poop) was fun to play for about one minute with more & better tone (not difficult) until it made me a brain dead simp. hmmm... just like Brittish Steel!

I would much more than all of the dreaded Brittish Steel album. I guess they are tired and need a break. This is definitely catering to the bitter simps that can't comprehend the great Nostradamus album. I guess they will get many more 1st timers to these shows but I don't think they will sell the amount of merchandise that  Nostradamus fans would buy. I suppose it is a "special" event but who would buy or wear a Brittish Steel tour shirt/merch other than someone who has never seen Priest or is brand new to the band and hasn't been exposed to all of their more adventerous albums. A 44 minute pre-teen pop album from 1980, or an intense and recent musical masterpiece clocking in at well over 100 minutes???

Unfortunately I feel $trung along and have to wait through another filler $how before they will play their best shows from their best album, Nostradamus!

Livin after Midnight over Nostradamus??? In 2009??? I think I am going to get sick."Loaded, Loaded???" More like buzzkill, buzzkill!!! I am sure I will be in for an even less attentive and more annoying crowd than was at the Metal Masters Tour. WOW!
