@guido... Fuckin A Glenn's SLIDE SOLO in Flame Thrower is one of my FAVORITE solos of all time and I'm not just saying that cause the album is new,it's among my favorite already! Fuckin thing is just fuckin BAD ASS man,it fuckin RULZ and is my favorite guitar solo on the album...
LOVE how he rolls in after Ritchie's killer solo and it just BURNS right in with Glenn's signature style unmistakably Glenn,and those pinching harmonics at the end he does totally REEKS of Tipton's kick ass style... definitely my top 5 Tipton guitar solos.....
Fuck I love that solo,every time I hear it I'm automatically making air guitar moves and a funny face while I do it I'm sure of lol. A+ solo for Mr. Tipton I hope he does a couple more solos like this on the next album!
@ Head Banger....
stun definition:
knock unconscious or into a dazed or semiconscious state. "the man was strangled after being stunned by a blow to the head" synonyms: daze, stupefy, knock unconscious, knock out, lay out "a glancing blow stunned Gary" astonish or shock (someone) so that they are temporarily unable to react. "the community was stunned by the tragedy" synonyms: astound, amaze, astonish, dumbfound, stupefy, stagger, shock, take aback;
Technically a flamethrower can STUN you if your running and get hit from behind knocks you to the ground and get back up running again .... obviously I've been hit from behind from a flamethrower many times to be able to causally tell you what it feels like,clearly lol!

Damn good version even with James muffing the lyrics (again) and Kirk giving a shortened solo (again).
Still nice to see they can pull it off. Kirk, especially.

1:39. Gretchen hits that note and Nancy spins to look at her with that "hells yeah!" stare. I just listened to it again with headphones.
That BASS line! Especially at the end. Friggin' great! Better than the original, IMO.

I think I read about that 2nd drummer before. Damn. Been a while! Too bad that image is so small. Would've been cool to read the details on it.
It is an article/review of Turbo tour with dokken, I found it interesting because it mentioned jonathan valen, the other drummer that was reportedly used by priest on the tour but denied asto how much his input was do to Hollands limitations, anyone who has seen the live DVD has watched the part when he pretty much handcuffs himself trying to play fast (IMO as acolyte)

Hmmm...sorry dudes, writing's too small on that image. What's it say?
If someone could fix the article below that would be awesome, it is about the drummer playing in the turbo set to help with the drumming duties -cheers Acolyte
Byford lays some serious smackdown here. Love some of the comments. Yes, Dee DID write all the songs for Twisted Sister! They had a farewell tour? Damn! I missed it! LOL!!!! Ass-clown!
Long live Priest! Long live Saxon!

'Sup JD!
Yeah, I read that article on Jay Jay a couple of weeks ago. I agree with you and Guido. That guy is a nobody. Pure and simple. He can only WISH that he is on the same level as JP, Saxon and the Rolling Stones. He's just a-hatin'. Fucking asshole.
I didn't see Biff's response to it, though. LOVE IT!!!
Hey guido,vail... a few weeks ago guitarist Jay Jay French of Twisted Sister was in Orlando and a guy from an organization called "Spooky Empire" interviewed him,so he sits there and bad mouths the Rolling Stones claiming thier too old to even play thier instruments etc...laughing at them AND said Saxon are like 80 years old hinting THEY are too old to play thier instruments AND called Judas Priest a "cover band" because "Glenn is not there" and says how he can always tell when an old band trys to put out new music live cause everyone goes to the bathroom during the new songs...
What a fucking Joke,not only that but when this guy who was interviewing him said "Yeah but Judas Priest has just released a great record that fans are excited about and reached 5th on the billboard 200 chart... and Saxon has released an album too and is opening for Judas Priest... then the few people in the audience gave a cheer for Judas Priest and Saxon really quick THAT'S when Jay Jay French called Saxon 80 year old men and how Priest is just a cover band...blah blah blah FUCK YOU JAY JAY!
Anyways on Blabbermouth.net Biff Byford commented on "Jay Jay" talking shit and gave an interview and this was at the end:
"If a guitarist wants to say, 'I've had enough,' then he's had enough. And he goes home and… I don't know… I don't know what the guy, Jay Jay or whatever they call him… He'll go and sit on the porch in his rocking chair with his pipe and slippers and fade away. We're fucking Vikings. We don't do that shit." ---Biff Byford.
Lofl Biff is THE MAN! You tell that jealous pile of garbage Biff!
[J.D. DIAMOND] Wednesday, May 02, 2018 2:46:11 PM
Guido I know right? What a joke! You can just see the envy and jealousy eating at him when Priest was mentioned.... Firepower #5 on top 200 billboard charts? Fuck...Shitallica Hard Wired crappy album reached #2 and Priest #5? Highest charting album ever even more than British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance... maybe not album sales but to reach #5 is insane for Judas Priest in 2018 when most people don't buy CDs. It just shows how GREAT Firepower actually is.
[guidogodoy] Wednesday, May 02, 2018 8:38:48 AM
Damn straight! Jay Jay? Seriously?! Who the FUCK is Jay Jay?!? Whoever the no-name is, he is asking for a beatdown.
Sorry, I am with Biff. Dude talks smack about the Rolling Stones, Saxon and Priest? HA! I actually like the company he put them in there. Twisted Sister had what, two songs in a lifetime? I hardly think that gives him any right to speak about ... ANYTHING!

Little skinny Ian. Is he rollin' a dube there?
Those HAVE to be KK's boots underneath him.
Guido excellent photos from Kent,Wa bro man!! Thanks again to Budred for trying to post them,I know there is a pic of just Glenn too... look at Rob just give Glenn a hug and a kiss... these guys ARE brothers from the soul. Rob said during the recording sessions of Redeemer Of Souls Glenn made him do many extra takes ... Rob said laughing "Glenn can get away with that cause he's family".
Yeah I'd bet my LIFE that any show Glenn does not attend he is feeling too shitty to even stand for a half hour...AINT NO WAY he misses 1 show just to get extra sleep etc... this guy IS a non stop fighter!
Guardians & Rising From Ruins can mean one thing,but when I listen to it automatically what I think of is how Rob,Glenn,Ian & Scott had to Rise From Ruins from the situation when K.K. retired: We're standing as one... we're carrying on....."Rising From Ruins"....
And No Surrender I think automatically of Glenn's situation with Parkinson's.... all the lyrics just SCREAM Glenn is a non stop fighter!!! And it helps me when I complain about something stupid,I listen to this song and think of Glenn and how he's fighting this... such an inspirational song to me personally as No Surrender is my FAVORITE track on the album.
I don't think I've ever been more excited for Judas Priest than so am right now. Fuck those who say Ritchie doesn't belong in Judas Priest. Fuck those ignorant individuals. Its ok for Dio to replace Ozzy.... it's ok for Brian Johnson to replace Bon Scott...yet Ritchie is invalid cause he replaced K.K.?
Bullshit. That's like saying pretty much like The Rolling Stonesare NOT valid and is a COVER BAND because Ron Wood replaced Mick Taylor who replaced Brian Jones on guitar.
Rob Wood has been the Stones guitarist since 1976. So because he's not the original guitarist it's NOT The Rolling Stones? It's all HORSE SHIT. Ritchie Faulkner IS an important elite guitarist as much as KK. Edited at: Friday, April 20, 2018 8:40:35 PM

And that Painkiller clip guido posted was SPOT ON at how good Rob was ... the whole night he was ON! I'M sure it's very hard to perfect every show at his age but whole shit he sounded EXCELLENT!!
And Ritchie was on fire as usual.... this guy IS an elite member of this band!!

Budred THANKS for the thought just the same! Man I STILL HAVE GOOSEBUMPS from seeing Glenn walk out from behind that curtain !! But always KNOW it's "Killing him inside missing any show". His heart and soul goes out to all that didn't get to see him...and KNOW he was not feeling well enough to play that night at your shows.
Man Firepower out did British Steel what a record breaking year!! Lightning Strike is a modern day "You've Got Another Thing Coming".

My god man I can't imagine "The Metal God" walking off the bus and taking a picture...your right,what a gentleman totally!! That would be so awesome and so glad to hear that man. Yeah I know you've met him a few times but I'm sure it don't get boring!! Lol.
It's insane how good Rob sounds and sure without Glenn on Studio it wouldn't really be authentic Classic Priest, but since he IS still on the albums makes Ritchie an elite Judas Priest member,especially after 2 studio albums written along with Rob and Glenn...and 3 years left to go,he'll be a member of Judas Priest for "10" years a freakin decade!
Just love Ritchie man,sure Ken is OUR fav Always will be but it doesn't take away the fact of how important Ritchie is to Judas Priest. Anybody who says He's not is delusional. Totally different style than K.K.'s solos and riffs yet so right for this band. I couldn't imagine Priest ever getting rid of him FOR K.K. back.
When K.K. said he was shocked and stunned HE wasn't asked back to "HIS ORIGINAL ROLE" in the band... that really means booting out Ritchie and putting K.K. in.
Would be nice though to have K.K.,Ritchie and GLENN on an album and see K.K. And Ritchie play live with Glenn on the encores when possible. But for now this band is firing on all cylinders!
