I have to agree with you here Vail. I have often posted pics that have been supplied by other members on the board. And I am thankful that they have shared so I repost when they haven't been up for a while to show apreciation to the band and of the pics that have been supplied over the years. It is never ment to disrespect the person who the picture originated from, I am thankful for all.. Lets just enjoy the band and enjoy each other. Maple and Simon, I like both of you and over the years you have both supplied and shared wonderful pictures with us that I'm sure we are all greatful for.

There's nothing wrong with posting better quality versions of previously posted pics. I mean, as long as it shows Judas Priest in action, and it's a good pic, then that's great! If there's a better version of it, then that's great, too. The more, the merrier. There is no money gained when posting pics of Judas Priest on the Noticeboard. It should be about appreciation for the greatest band in the world, not for feeling inferior just because someone always has a better version of what's been posted. I enjoy seeing the JP pics that both Simon and Maple post (or anyone, for that matter). I hope you two settle your differences soon.

I have to say that I am very sorry things are the way they are here these days. The regulars know why I am scarce. I really love (MOST of) you and I do miss you. In a rather fair amount of pain today as we had a show last night. I will post a few shots on the "WEB POLICE" thread for Bud's sake very soon. Anyway, if there is any justice in this world, things will improve and we will see old friends chatting again and life will be good.
** On another note, all of us UCLA alumni and the UCLA family in general mourn the loss of the GREATEST college coach in history; John Wooden, who passed away yesterday at age 99. I was never fortunate enough to actually meet the man, although he did speak regularly during my years in school. Looking back, it was rather foolish of me to miss an opportunity to listen to such a great, great man. I saw him once, from a distance. I suppose THAT will count for something in life... Sleep well, "Coach". |

As you say, here's hoping. You will certainly be in my thoughts, Joe. Been in many a country when the politics just went south in a big way. Strangely enough, it is usually around a major event like the WC or the Olympics. Sending good vibes your way that it not only calms down but STAYS calm.

Becks & Guido, I will gladly keep you up to date with the WC. Thankfully politically things have sort of been ok. There have been a lot of major striking for higher wages strategically done in a few weeks leading up to the WC but they came to an agreement so that seems to be ok.
I believe there is a more visual presence of police force etc but I think it will be ok. I pray that it will be. The government is calling for everyone to just chill out and 'behave' during the cup. Lets hope they do.

You're gonna love it. The DVD surpasses Rising in the East in that matter. So many close-up shots of Scottie!!!  You'll even get to see the camera that looks into the drumkit where the man sits!

Becks & Guido, I will gladly keep you up to date with the WC. Thankfully politically things have sort of been ok. There have been a lot of major striking for higher wages strategically done in a few weeks leading up to the WC but they came to an agreement so that seems to be ok.
I believe there is a more visual presence of police force etc but I think it will be ok. I pray that it will be. The government is calling for everyone to just chill out and 'behave' during the cup. Lets hope they do.

Ah, KEWL, Joe! Do keep us posted as to any pertinent "inside" info on the games. I am one of a handful of Americans who actually enjoys watching the WC. Alas, like ice hockey, they really don't televise much (if any) of the games here. Sometimes I luck out and can see it on the Spanish channels but it is hit-or-miss.
Speaking of "miss," I noticed and missed ya! Wondering about the political situation, in fact. Things calm down, I hope? Take care of yourself and the family.

Yep, I hate to say this and I swore I never would but here goes (lol) Back in my day, we had discipline. You wouldn't dare speak to a teacher, parent or adult the way some of these ungrateful brats do. I'm still pretty strict on the discipline/respect thing. My children know how far to push and what consequences happen when they go too far. And I don't have to beat it into them. Discipline takes work from both sides and these days some parents just don't give a damn. Shouldn't be breeding because that is just what they are doing. Pumping out kids and then expecting teachers to deal with them but don't you dare discipline my little so and so. Bull shit. We need discipline and responsibility back.
OMG! I feel so old and cranky after spewing that out lol.

They love music, are funny as can be and are pretty much a joy in my life.

Just got back from listening to a friend's gig. Was a nice chilled laid back semi acousstic set. Very cool. Baby sitter was a no go so we had to take the kids with. They were fine as long as they were stuffing their little faces with food but when that finished and they'd downed all their soda then they were not interested at all lol. Zoey was dancing a bit but got tired so we called it a night and came home. I must say that I've just heard the most stunning local version of 'Wish You Were Here' They just had two electric guitars, toned down and vocals.. It was hauntingly beautiful. Highlight of a very cool night musically.
I also survived a 3 hour trip to the fire station with the kids. I volunteered my time to help out with the field trip and I tell you, I have a whole new respect for teachers. I was pooped after 3 hours with help.. how they do it all day for 5 days a week I have no idea! lol
Enjoying a nice cup of tea and then a good night sleep lol. |

Nope, neither. I live outside the city limits (meaning across the street). No natural gas, no city water (actually thankful for that...not as expensive with a well), have to pay the trash collectors directly. I live about two minutes from the firehouse but still have to pay a "rural" fee to have them come out to try to put out a fire. Not that they could ever do so. Can't make it up my drive and no hydrant.

I do have three channels playing "The Nanny," though. So I have that to fall back on.

Your philanthropy is inspiring, joe. Its good to try to give back and support whenever and however you can. We are playing a benefit in July. No pay. We are doing it as our way of supporting as well. The feeling of trying to help is payment enough, no?
As I menitioned a couple days ago, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! See your doctor regularly. Get the proper exams. Most importantly, DO WHAT YOUR DOCTOR TELLS YOU!! That is something I simply cannot wrap my my around...people that ignore doctor's orders!! Our guitar player and drummer are both like this. They are told about certain health issues and figure they just won't go back to that doctor! ....?????!?!?!!??!? *YEEEESH*
I know it can be difficult to do what you need to do, especially if the problem is not immediate or it is only potential. I ask ALL of you to please, please look after your health. Cherish it. Protect it. Above all, MONITOR it!

Ron, I do not know you but I can't help but to be saddened by your post.
Words won't help so all I can say is be strong, time heals (somewhat).
Take solace in the fact that you had a relationship with your father. I've
never even seen a picture of mine. I was thinking of him yesterday
strangely enough. I was trying to figure out how old he would be if he's
still alive. He would be 86. Dealing with this is something time can't heal.
You deal with it regularly because you're always wondering. Be glad you
had a father in your life. Take care man.

Over the last couple of weeks he got to meet his great-grandkids, he was responsive to this and very happy. I am also greatful that Bev had the opportunity to meet and spend time with him back in March. He had been battling this for 5 years and we're greatful for every minute we had with him.

Ron, I am so sorry to hear that your Dad passed. He was blessed with a great son who loved him dearly and I'm sure you being there for him in his last moments must have made him feel safe and secure enough to let go. No words can ease your pain but know that your family here grieve with you and are here for you.
Much love and big hugs to you xxx.
Yellow has become a symbol of beating cancer for me. One day this disease will be eradicated.. We have lost far too many to this demon!

We brought him home last Friday as he became too weak to endure anymore treatment and his health declined quickly. Fortunately, he was home, medicated and we were with him when his time came. Over the last couple of weeks he got to meet his great-grandkids, he was responsive to this and very happy. I am also greatful that Bev had the opportunity to meet and spend time with him back in March. He had been battling this for 5 years and we're greatful for every minute we had with him. Cancer is a son of a bitch. Dad, I love you!! |

GREAT memories, ML. I remember seeing RJD and Rainbow in Calif. many, MANY years ago. I was just blown away by the sound of that booming voice coming out of such a tiny man!!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!! I just thought that the Laws of Physics were being defied in so many ways! The great thing about him is that he is in that category of vocalist that is unique, like our beloved Rob. You KNOW it is him when you hear him, no matter what the circumstance.
I am sure that, as a vocalist, you have a special affinity for RJD and those that are like him. The "gift" that is his special talent is something that cannot be taught, nor learned. It is something that one cannot buy. A synthesizer cannot replicate it and it is never quite copied by even the best of "tribute" singers. THAT is such an incredible thing.

Morning, folks. Bit of a somber day I see. So sorry to hear of the loss. Dio will always be one of my greatest inspirations. Seems like it is always tough to lose one of "our own", as it were. I often think about the Priest boys at a time like this. They are getting up there in age and I worry about that day, which we all know will come, and how we will handle it. Facing mortality is never easy. We deal and we move on.
I think this is a reminder to all of us to be vigilant regarding our health. There ARE things we CAN control, guys. As I mentioned last week, I had my annual check up. I just now checked my blood results and I am happy to say that my levels are all normal, with the exception of tryglicerides (fat in the blood) which is really not surprising. The therapy for that is...you guessed it, LOSE WEIGHT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! As I said, not surprising. Overall, I am thankful that I am pretty healthy. Good cholesterol, good pressure, etc. I don't drink. I don't smoke. If I could lay off the buttter and frying oil I would likely be as healthy as ol' Guido!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!
Take care of yourselves, people. It is not all that hard. There are things we all can do to ensure we are living longer and feeling better. I would really hate to lose one of you! |

I am very shocked and saddened by the loss of RJD. I got to see him a couple years ago during the Priest/H&H tour. Just a phoenomonal performer. Such a huge, huge loss for not just heavy metal, but the world of music as well.

He was nearly 65 years old and still sounded good. R.I.P. / R.J.D. |

I just thought I would comment on "Play That Funky Music". You can't escape that song around here.
The guy who wrote and sang that song is from Steubenville, Ohio. I lived there for twelve years, and live about
10 minutes from it now. I stay out of the bars now but at one time everybar, everynight, some one played that
song, either on the jukebox or live. I think his name is Rob Parise. I believe he lives elsewhere but every once in a while
he would drive thru town in a white Rolls' with the plate "Wyt Boy". He's a millionaire from that one song. He
owns the rights to the song and gets royalty checks still. It's amazing how popular that song actually is. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Friday, May 14, 2010 6:23:30 AM)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Thanks, Spa. While I wish I were able to say that I am carrying the torch for Metal and whatnot, I am not. We are not a Metal act. In fact , we do very little in the way of "Metal". Both our Priest songs are commerical in the highest (Breaking the Law and Another Thing Comin) and we play good ol' Paranoid which is more "classic rock" these days than Metal.
I was thinking about that last night. You see, while I do play for the love of music and all the passion that I have for it, I also play to get PAID. I know JD is likely ready to slit my throat now but, we play what the crowd wants to hear (Eve Six, Three Doors Down, Poison). Last night, we learned four new songs and, while I am happy to say that one of them is "Rock you like a Hurricane" (Scorps), the others are "My Sharona", "Good Golly Miss Molly" and....Bad Co's "Rock Steady".
I am really all for the "love of Metal" and all but the cold, hard reality is that playing small bars and clubs requires that we have a wide ranging set list and that we play things that all the crowd will like. For example, "Play that Funky Music" is one of our most popular! HA!!!!!!!!!!! (Of course, we "rough" it up some!) The reality is, we have to play what they want, not necessarily what WE like.
I have noticed that these "tribute" bands do VERY well here but they actually LOOK like the bands they portray! I mean, seriously ...! I saw a band yesterday called "Heart Live" and I could've sworn it was Heart! The girls looked just like them and they sang spot-on! I was stunned. There are a couple Van Halen acts here that are like that. With me, Priest is not an option. I suppose I look enough like Meatloaf to do that, but I cannot sing like him......HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Have a busy weekend coming up!! Going to see a friend of mine and his band play their first show this Friday and then we (my band) are all going to Vince Neil's club (Feelgoods) to hang with some friends that have a band playing there. I guess you could consider it the musical equivalent of "social networking"... HAAAAAAAA! Anyhoo, I get to run around town and act like a twenty-something for a couple days.

Well, I'm finally getting some strength back. Oy! Tough last couple days! Looks like all is well. I must say, it is so gratifying to see that all is calm and friendly here when I am away! Well done, all.
Trying to stay calm HERE as well. Saw the doc yesterday for my annual check up. Blood pressure and whatnot is Aces! The regular blood work is later this week but I have no reason to believe there will be anything to report! For some reason, that man is not meant to know, I have been blessed with remarkably good health despite my rather "unhealthy" way of life over the last fifty years or so! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing. If not for my weight, I assume I would be some sort of medical miracle. In any event, all is well and life keeps on keeping on... |

I had a sudden panic when I started seeing messages like that popping up everywhere. I was pretty certain it couldn't be Mothers' day- I hadn't realised that different countries celebrate it on different days (we have it in March).
Well, Happy Mothers' Day anyway!

My 411 is sad. I've got a stupid wedding to attend at that time, and Flora is not crazy about the "other bands" at Ozzfest. So what I want to know is Halford going to be doing any small arenas or club dates? Now that my Ozzfest has been shot to shit.

I think Clegg with partner up with the Tory's and it will, in the end, be in his best interest. Unfortuanatly, I don't think the Tory government will not be looked upon kindly. They have a lot of cleaning up to do, and that wont be easy on anyone. But, if you cut out all those government jobs that are essentially fake jobs that Labor installed, it would be a great start. LOL And get people off the couch and back to work, the professional non-workers especially. No need for immigration if all of Britain was at work.

Man it sounds like things are a bit messy with the election over there Kiamat! We always end up with a shit fight here, cos of the MMP system we use - I think the UK uses the same system. All sorts of stupid coalitions get made, and if it's a very tight coalition, sometimes the majority party gets held to ransom over issues by coalition partners, all sorts of nonsense.
I'm sure we'll have fun at the concert too Craig may or may not be in the country then, but at least he has a ticket just in case LOL!

Worse, the voting this year has been a shambles- running out of ballot papers, postal votes being lost, and worst of all so many polling stations didn't have enough staff to cope with the numbers of people, so in a lot of places (including our nearest) people were still queueing to vote at 10 o'clock and were turned away- one of my best friends was right at the front (he'd been there for at least an hour) and they shut the door in his face. In some places they actually carried on letting people in, but legally any votes cast after 10 aren't valid... so, its a mess right now.
Anyhow, Good night (morning?!) all!

I'm not British, I have no british relatives that I know of but when I read the international news I absolutely HATE Gordon Brown and Labor. I have been facinated with waiting for this election for the past two years because if that were my country, we would have impeached the fool long ago. Ineptitude should get you thrown out of office, but then again we did suffer 8 years of Dub-ya after having one of the best President's of the modern times. ARRRGH! Thank god, that's over.

It'll be interesting to see who wins the UK election, a lot of people I've spoken to don't like Gordon Brown lol.
Well I'm happy as cos we just bought our tickets to see Metallica in october, they're coming to NZ for (at the moment) one show. I know I know, a lot of people here don't like them, but I am a fan (granted of their older stuff, St Anger is AWFUL, so is Reload, the list goes on) but I have wanted to see them live for ages and now I am so yay! lol.

I hope the Torys win Kiamat! God knows you don't need anymore of Gordon Brown.
Have fun at the Pub!

Indeed it has been quiet, but then again, until Priest make any noise regarding new tours or albums, there isn't so much to talk about. Except for your amazing band, of course! Great to hear that you're getting lots of gigs
Oh, I've been meaning to ask- do you do all original material or are there any covers thrown in? If so, what?
Well, I have to go- second rehearsal of today (this one for a choral concert on Saturday). Hopefully a touch more optimistic than my Early Music Ensemble rehearsal this morning, where we received the sad news that our cellist is leaving us to go study in Ireland- she will be much missed  .
Now I've put that, I've realised what an uncool musician I am next to you guys. Still, being a music student is all about being a geek- we know it and we don't care!
See you all around. Will be spending the night in the union bar- or at least until we find out who will be in charge of the country tomorrow...
