On another note, less than a week until the World Cup!! My pick is Germany, they were young upstarts last tournament, this time they have basically the same team but with more maturity.

| After careful consideration, I feel my synopsis of Nostradamus was a bit harsh..I do like the album and it gets spun fairly often at my house..I love the story and the songs and Rob's voice..I just feel it could SOUND better..I was one of the defenders of the album from the get-go when it was getting bashed by a lot of Priest "fans"..I just think it could stand to be re-mixed..I would happily re-purchase it, especially if there's bonus tracks or maybe a DVD..Priest has been and always will be my favorite band and they can do no wrong in my book..I am waiting for Redeemer of Souls with baited breath and will continue to enjoy Nostradamus.. |

Another Jim Breur video I took @ ROTR. "Heavy Metal Man". The fella's in their forties should get a kick out of this. It's comedy but this is pretty heavy. I think it almost has a Priest feel to it.

Yes! his solos are priest like, one of the things I was afraid of that it would be missed on this new album. But the two new tunes shows that the priest sound is intact and I have already pre-ordered the new album on both CD and Vinyl and can't wait for them.

HF should be working on a new album this year,yet when this new Priest album comes out they will be drooling over it ,pumping it and forget about thier new album ha.
Man I can't freakin wait till Redeemer Of Souls is released,11 more tracks to listen too and 5 more bonus songs too...we are very lucky to have JP in 2014....hail to Richie Faulkner!!!
His solos sound so Priest like,but not like Downings .....just a true fit for this band its utterly amazing how perfect he fits in Judas Priest.

Pipen...no your absolutely right,Hammerfall out of SEVERAL british styled traditional heavy metal bands seems to be the only band that sounds like 1980's heavy metal : 80's Judas Priest(70's too) ,80's Iron Maiden,80's Dio (Holy Diver/Last In Line)
stuff like this shows up in thier material but never a rip off,just a homage ect....
They are not for you,and most heavy metal fans
but like I said for me,I've studied traditional heavy metal and TONS of bands these last ...about 7 years or so now...and HF imo is the very best...not just because they dound 80's,but because of how GREAT and AWSOME thier songs and albums are man. Sure they have one or two songs here and there that I dont like,but not many. Dont like thier ballads ect...but yeah they fuckin kick ass.Joacim Cans is one KICK ASS original vocslist.

J.D. I also see them as HM, ( Never heard of Death Dealer so them aside) but with a more modern touch and style, HammerFall imo are more traditional eighties, in my eras at least. :) so that's what I ment with last standing .....
But that is an highly subjective opinion of course . :)

Pipen, actually Hammerfall isnt the only band left thst is british styled traditional with thier own style .....Primal Fear....Iced Earth....Death Dealer....there are a few more that I can't think of....but they are just not my style,but they are good bands though...
They all play a Painkiller/Jugulator style of Priest's influence in them ....so yeah they are all good bands but just not for me thats all ...
Hammerfall's Priest influences that show up in thier music comes from 70's and mostly 80's Judas Priest songs. HF would of fit well if they came out in 1982. They have 8 studio lps from 1997 -2011 and for me personally I love thier first 7 albums.
They last one sucks heavily imo.
Definately not pushing Hammerfall on anyone,but to me...out of tons of bands I've heard....HF carries the traditional 80's banner with sound and image aesthetics and most importantly thier songs.

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I LOVED it. His Brian Johnson impersonation had me cracking up, he was DEAD ON!!

The weather sucked but it was probably my favorite as far as band sets go. I watched 26 bands and only 3 of them i wasn't into. Saw a couple of new bands I'll be checking out. (Avatar and Gojira.) Some surprises. The Pretty Reckless was probably my biggest. She was awesome. Loved Jim Breur's set. Gemini Syndrome (the band that hit my wife in the head with a drumstick). I loved them. They have to be my favorite new band right now. Check them out you may be suprised. Lastly, if you are even remotely interested you must go next year just to experience it. I've been to 260+ shows since 78 and ROTR is by far the craziest and funnest shows I've been to.

J.D. Diamond: I agree whit you in almost everything you say about Priest, but I do like Nostradamus and if I remember it correctly you don't. :)
Saxon is one of my top favorite band also and they still deliver both live and in the studio, Maiden is also great band but since No Prayer they haven't came out with a decent song imo. But up till then they are pretty solid, even if the downfall begins whit No Prayer that one at least have moments and I rate that album to be an 3 out of 5 at least.
But my nr. 2 band is definitely not HammerFall, Accept is! Wolfs guitar playing and Udos unique voice on top of that is just magic to me!
And even though I hated the fact that they where starting up again without Udo they certainly proved me wrong in the end, Mark does an incredible job. I usually have a hard time to accept change of a lead singer in a band but this was an exception that broke the rule, haha!
Judas Priest has and will probably always be nr. 1 to me, Accept is the the only band so far that I almost like equally much but Priests strength is that they can deliver with variation from Sad Wings to Painkiller, Accept is more of an one way road so to say. But which band who comes third changes from day to day, week to week and so on. :)

Al may have been referring to the fact that KK auditioned for the band in 1969 and wasn't very good - even KK has admitted that. He only knew 5 or 6 chords and didn't get the job. KK and Ian formed a trio called Freight. When the original JP fell apart, Al heard Freight rehearsing and was impressed with KK's progression and joined their band, asking them to use the name Judas Priest.

For me to say Maiden hasnt been releasing quality metal is just my opinion,my comment was based on how many others think otherwise but even in that so what,it doesnt mean anything...
The same way I think Saxon (1995-2014) are my second fav band and how I say Hammerfall is #3 all time best HN band.....not very many "at all" feel that way.....not hardly many at all so its the same srnario. If you do take away Priest,Maiden and Saxon Hammerfall rulz!

Not saying YOU think this way but I think fans "AKA hellrider" who look at Priest albums before 1990 as incomplete or invalid because they are not as heavy as 1990's Painkiller are really not fans of the band,but simply Painkiller fans.
And if you think Maiden has been releasing quality metal then kudos to you. But you are definately in a class of very very little who think they have.Good for you.

| Painkiller is like the Everest of their catalouge, I doubt if the new cd will top it. Not saying it won't.......I would be super happy if it did. From what they have released so far they're heading in the right direction.... getting that swagger back. Maybe they are following Maiden's lead and starting to produce more consistant metal.....I think that is what everyone is wanting. |

I think what you're trying to say is .....it's got the "Painkiller swagger"...lol...and I'm sure when Painkiller came out in 1990 way more people liked than not. No split reaction like your saying. Sure ....some didn't like it....but I'll say the majority of fans did...and I'll bet the majority of fans want this new album to be way more heavy tan the last two.

I do have a feeling this album may rival Painkiller and give it a run for its money....it may even beat it who knows? Just because its 2014 doesnt mean they cant top an album 20 years ago.
I remember 1990 when Painkiller came out,and there was a split teaction among the fans....some hated it,some loved it. I sure loved it and still do!
Defenders 6 years earlier some fans were complaining it wasnt as good as SFV "Youve got another thing comin'....but now 30 years after DOTF its hearald as an all time classic.
I think years from now this lp will be deemed a classic. Nope,havent heard all of it no,but the feeling is so strong I just know this lp will KICK ASS!

Hell yeah Becks! What JP cover art is better ya know lol....Sad Wings and Painkiller are second and 3rd probly but yeah for me THIS art work is #1 all time,fuck what a pleasant suprise!
I LOVE the title track! No you cant force yourself to like a song ( Revolution comes to mind ) but for me I feel as if I've heard this for years yet its obviously new ....I do consider myself very lucky ....I also love what I'm hearing so far from March Of The Damned....sounds like a pinch of British Steel yhrown in....just awsome!
I do have a feeling this album may rival Painkiller and give it a run for its money....it may even beat it who knows? Just because its 2014 doesnt mean they cant top an album 20 years ago.
I remember 1990 when Painkiller came out,and there was a split teaction among the fans....some hated it,some loved it. I sure loved it and still do!
Defenders 6 years earlier some fans were complaining it wasnt as good as SFV "Youve got another thing comin'....but now 30 years after DOTF its hearald as an all time classic.
I think years from now this lp will be deemed a classic. Nope,havent heard all of it no,but the feeling is so strong I just know this lp will KICK ASS!

I like what I have heard of March of the Damned more than Redeemer of Souls so far, hopefully the whole track is good. Also think the cover art is pretty nifty

Neah,you will not be thrilled with this one either Budred,I think I have an idea of what you wanted out of this album and so far it aint there...look on the bright side,the album has 13 tracks....there should be "3" tracks on this entire album that is for you man....
So far I LOVE what I'm hearing....hell yeahba!!!

Ok cool. I had no clue. I never really payed attention to anything Priest before Rob, KK, and Glenn. I knew of Al Atkins but none of the others and didn't know anything about any riffs between any of them. I was going to go see Al Atkins last year in Pittsburgh but passed. Now I'm glad I did.

Lord Of Texas nice to see a post from you...
Yeah I think the track is cool too,for me every track doesn't have to be rocket science man. First listen reminded me of hints of Hell Patrol,and looking around online there are tons of other comments saying the exact same thing.
However for me personally I actually prefer Redeemer Of Souls,but still like Hell Patrol of course.Perhaps the negative comments,besides the few who actually don't like the track,are individuals who have too high of expectations of what they wanted to hear....
Perhaps management could of released a much more agressive track from the album to start with and that would of got more positive feedback...
In 1990 if they would of released the song Hell
first as a single/video instead of the song Painkiller,then the response would of been similar.... |

Yeah I got "butt hurt" over it,actually it doesn't bother me at all Budred but arguing over something as simple and meaningless as this takes me away from all the "SHIT" we have to deal with in the real world every day.
Yeah another question....I wonder if the first track on the lp ( Dragonaut ) is an instrumental or a track with lyrics ...... |

@JD, I just posted that to play around. You seem to be a little bothered by the negativity but it's getting praise also so don't worry about it. I'm not bailing on the album yet. I know one song doesn't make a CD and every Priest CD has at least one track I don't like. I wish this song was heavier but I'm not trashing them over it. I'll wait for the disc to come out and I'll buy it and listen and if I like it I'll let everyone know, if not, I'll post about that too. (lol)
|

Why does every Priest song have to be some high level heavy extra smart track? The thing is,from Rocka Rolla till now they have had a massive "variety" of material,yet people think they should NOT write songs like "Desert Plains" or even "Leather Rebel"....many think this track is "weak" too but just because they intentionally wrote and created it,recorded it the way it is,those who think its weak think it should be on the Painkiller song's level of heaviness and power blah.
Perhaps those who only like every heavy track only,are not over all Judas Priest fans but fans of the heavier side of Judas Priest only,thats cool....whatever floats thier boat.
I strongly disagree that Redeemer Of Souls is "weak" in any way. Its a fuckin Judas Priest track and to my ears it is a "heavy" track. Is it thier best song ever? Imo ....no,but does it really have to be?
I think half the fanbase likes it and half doesnt.Thats average based on every Priest song feleased for the first time,nothing new here.

This track Redeemer of Souls doesnt "SOUND" anything remotely close to Made Of Metal,I don't know what your hearing man,I know you dont like the track,but there is no way it sounds like Made of metal,I cant hear that whatsoever.
If you just like the heavier side of Priest,hats off to you man.
For me,I adore thier heavy stuff,Painkiller,All Guns,Meltdown,Freewheel,Electric Eye,SFV title track,Heavy Duty....but just because they are more powerful than "Turning Circles" or "The Rage" or "A Touch Of Evil" or "Rock Hard Ride Free"...
"Killing Machine", .....Dont Have To Be Old....doesnt mean they are all "better". Some may think these tacks are weak with lackluster finishes,others like myself deem them as ultra Priest classics. Just like Wheels Of Fire....it is simple,not heavier than others but kicks ass.Iys a matter of opinion man. |

@Budred....you say of course Priest has weak songs ect.....I am mot saying they dont,but who said EVERY track was "heavy"? Rob said the lp is fking heavy. Could it be he is talking about the majority of it? of course he is,look at every Priest album Budred,every one has a song thats not "full of power"....dude.....they do this "intentionally" ...
Look at AOR.....You have tracks like Demonizer,Hellrider,Judas Rising that are on a level,and when they wrote "worth fighting for" they didnt fuck up in the studio bro,they MEANT to record this track the way it sounds.
Look at Screaming For Vengeance...track # 4 and #5...side one....Take These Chains,Pain & Pleasure....you can say they are "weak"....but they are supposed to sound this way
....its called style man. I just dont get where your coming from.
Priest has tons of mediocre tracks,but to some those tracks are killer man

Of course Priest has weak songs. Every band does. Priest has 10 strong songs for every weak one though and people have learned to expect more from such a Metal band. It doesn't matter if they are 60 or not you can still make heavy music. This song has no power to it whatsoever it's mediocre and nothing in this song grabs you and says wow this is heavy. It just goes along with a steady non exciting beat with a little guitar work in the middle and then a lackluster finish. I think the majority of people who don't like it also admitted that this could still be an awesome album as long as this "is" one of the weaker ones and not similar to the entire cd. The comparisons to "Made In Metal" and sounding like one of it's leftovers to me is perfect. Exactly what it reminds me of. I just hope the rest of it is good.

Head Banger totally right? Its like these so called Priest fans somehow have heard a Priest album where every track is like the song Metal Meltdown?
We are still yet to hear such an album....to be honest,I wouldnt want such a record,cause we wouldnt get "the other side" of Judas Priest.
Im not saying we all have to like this new Track but after especially they are now over 60 and they arent even experimenting this time....and people are still bitc hing about it.....
Not saying Revolution is a crappy song,but I believe this track is much better....I think you do too....imagine if this were in place of Revolution....it would of made AOR that much better!
Yeah,the trashing of the new track is fuckin over rated trend.

@grinder...... Duh.....dude I LOVE Rocka Rolla and every song I mentioned! My point is this song is not much different. If any of those songs were released today,you would be whining calling them weak too. Some Heads Are Gonna Roll.....yes,I bought Defenders in 1984 when it came out when I was 14.....been into Priest scince 1981 religiously so dont need the history leason guy....
If Some Heads Are Gonna Roll came out right now instead of 1984 YOU along with other wankers would call it "weak". Hands down.,especially if you think this track is weak. I dont think SHAGR is weak,but you would. Pain And Pleasure....same thing dude...yes I love that track....but you would be bitching right now if they released Pain And Pleasure instead of Redeemer Of Souls had it wasnt released in 1982. The song isnt fucking "weak"....every Priest track isnt Painkiller.Think about it bud. |

@ diamond
You are clearly delusional. Rocka Rolla was not boring, just wasn't produced very well. The songwriting was inspired, the guitar work was incredible, and no one on the planet could match Rob's vocals. Maybe you don't like it because it is not "metal" but Priest wasn't a metal band back then. Dreamer Deceiver boring? Rock Hard, Ride Free? Put down that pipe because it is destroying your brain. And for the record I didn't call the new song boring, I called it weak. Which is exactly what it is.

I'm glad K.K. went golfing,and the rest of the band continued to put out classic metal. Especially at this age.... If Downing would of stayed and got along with the rest of the band,then this album would of been Nostradamus #2.
If this song is weak and boring,then so is the entire Rocka Rolla lp...Epitaph,and Dreamer Deceiver,Side 2 of Sin After Sin,White Heat,Killing Machine,The Rage...Desert Plains,Pain & Pleasure,Rock Hard Ride Free,Hell Patrol,Leather Rebel....A Touch Of Evil....these are just a few to name that....if these songs I mentioned were released right now instead of Redeemer Of Souls,then this entire forum would be bitching far worse....thats a fact |

You know,this may not be Priest's best out put but I'm not sure many realize how lucky we are to even be able to critisize a new Priest song in the year 2014.
not saying that because of this,people should like the track,but the actual gripes about the Redeemer track I think are over rated...Priest has tons of songs that are like this and its not "Parental Guidance" .

@JD
Sorry man but I think you are misunderstanding me a little.
Just for clarity, I am not hurt by what you said. I temper my comments not because I'm worried what others will think of my opinion but because I do "not" want to be confrontational anymore. I try to word my posts so i don't sound that way. I am not trying to force myself to like this track, I just wanted to make sure in my head that I didn't like it before I said so. I don't think it is a terrible song I just like heavier stuff. When I commented about not influencing others based on my opinions that was just humorous sarcasm because I know that most here do not share my views and I'm not trying to get anyone to. My goals here (now) are to post occasionally, speak my mind without offending, And no more confrontation even if it means backing down from it. I don't try to force myself on anyone like I used to either and more than a few posts in a day make me slow it down so I don't saturate a thread. I'll probably make this my last post for awhile because I feel I'm overdoing it now.

You have every right to post your opinion,even if its something somebody diesnt want to hear.....including myself.....yeah...fuck em" lol.
It is what it is.....shit for all I know,I may hear the rest of the album and only like this song! If thats what ends up happening,then so be it...I will not force myself to loke anything,not saying that you are....just sayin....I do like this track though...totally what icecreamman had said it reminded him of a track like Hell Patrol thats inbetween to other metal classics ect....but thats just a vision....we will all have to wait and see.
Im just lucky so far that I like this track more I listen to it,the better it gets....just really wanted to hear a good track with SIMPLICITY. Hail Redeemer Of Souls and hail the almighty Priest!!!!

@Budred,
Ha,yeah its all good dude.Didnt mean anything by it,just that I figured you wouldnt like this track....when ever Evans and hellrider posts,they will not like it either,just from your posts over the last few years is why I predicted that statement. If you only like 3 tracks from Painkiller,then actually AOR and this new lp didnt have much of a shot with you in the first place,which is "ok" dude,no need to get butt hurt about it. I also predict HRMG will not be thrilled with this either based on her demands for her ideas of what to expect to hear,same with spa...its all good man,we all cant like the same things.
Members I did predict to like this song was Guido,Head Banger,Becks...so I wasnt off by much lol. Hey,I was on the other side of the fence when Nostradamus was out....lucky for me I really like Redeemer Of Souls....I just cant wait to hear the rest....18 songs....I hope 4 are instrumentals.....

Just listened to Redeemer of Souls. Hmmm...I dunno. It's heavy, alright. Not a big fan of the vocals, though. Doesn't draw me into the story of the Redeemer. At least not yet. Maybe after a few more listens?
My big worry, though, is the rumored amount of tracks in this new album. 17-18 songs?!? How many will be throw-away songs? Motorhead's latest album, Aftershock, has 14 songs in it. I can think of at least 5 that they could've eliminated from the final product. BUT! Who knows. We'll have to wait another three months for the Redeemer to arrive.
