O.k......if anyone is interested in the opinion of a newbie - here it is - Maiden is an incredible band. There is no disputing that.

But here's the thing...as much as I really like their music and am blown away by their skills, JP is still and always without a doubt my favourite metal band. It's just opinion, not a fact that can be proven or disproven. As songwriters. their lyrics and music have never left me feeling flat or un-satisfied. Pretty much every song leaves me feeling that had I written it, I wouldn't have done anything different. Their music is what I reach for first, last, and always. (Unless I'm hankering Ozzy, he's my other big love.) Because it's my personal taste. For me it doesn't get any better that Priest. (This is starting to sound like a lame-ass beer commercial!) It doesn't mean Maiden doesn't deserve kudos for their stuff. But for me and countless others - ...Now, everyone play nice or else!!!!!

Brian created this little Iron Maiden kingdom of his to constantly talk about IM and post nothing but how great Iron Maiden is and he almost never talks about Judas Priest on this forum. He is a troll trying to piss off everyone because he knows that we are all hardcore fans of the band that created metal - JUDAS PRIEST. Without Judas Priest, Maiden would not exist! You can only have a "discussion" with Bwian if you believe that everything Iron Maiden has ever done or ever will do is all equally awesome. Just walk on by and don't waste your time.....

I see the fan/troll boy is finally testing everyones patience. Too bad that defending Priest to such a troll only serves to fill him with joy. He is here to get attention, and if it's all bad attention, he loves it even more. I personally find him to be a tactless fool, who is too cheap to pay money to be a memer of the Iron Madien forum, but i don't think it's about his so called love for Maiden, he probably doesn't really like them all that well. He's just here to annoy us to no end. He's all about the game of trolling.

And you are consistantly whining about Halford's image yet contradicting yourself you always say for Bruce how there is no dress code for heavy metal,so with that being said if you say you are not a contradiction then you shouldn't keep mentioning how much you hate Halford's coat its a fuckin joke,there is no dress code for heavy metal then shut the fuck up about Halford's coat.
I am the one who believes there should be a dress code for heavy metal and Bruce sucks at metal aesthetics as much as you suck at trying to cover up your contradictions,and no....I've never lost anything to you as everybody knows so nice try on that one,but a no go and here is one for the rest of the forum......[

Don't flatter yourself Brian, I didn't bother looking through your 600+ posts of crap because I have better things to do with my time. Just pointing out that people, such as the members of Judas Priest, could quite easily do it and see just exactly who you are a fan of and it's not JP. I remembered some of your stupid comments and posted them, that's all. But you never did comment on the fact that you have nothing better to do than post about Iron Maiden on the JP site yet you are a fan of JP? Sure you are.

Ya a contradiction is a denial,and your in denial because of the fact that you keep mentioning Halford's cloths then while asked about Bruce's cloth you say it doesn't matter because its all about the music and last time you checked there isn't a heavy metal dress code so why keep mentioning Halford's coats? Denial,I keep beating you over and over and everybody knows it I'm not worried about that and your also in denial if you think that your not a punk ass bitch.

You're asking the wrong person man. Maybe you should call up Bruce and ask him, then report back and give us the answer. I'm laughing out loud at your dumb question just like i'm sure Bruce would. lol Last time I checked there was no official dress code for heavy metal.

Yes HRMG,why can't Bruce wear this outfit onstage nowadays? Brian whines about Halford's awsome long leather and studded coat/jacket yet its ok for Bruce to look like a fucking rap artist? And its ok for Maiden to sound like a folk band with all that progressive sounds but its not ok for Priest to do Nostradamus? Look at Bruce in this photo,thats what metal's image was supposed to be,not his nowadays looking beastie boy look.
Wow, have I MISSED you J.D.! Amazing how no matter what IM does, Brian thinks it's awesome or has an excuse for why it's OK for IM to do that and yet says shit about Priest. It's getting so old and predictable.

[Budred] Saturday, February 19, 2011 4:21:22 PM
Well J.D., the thing is, Jimmy has been nothing but an ass to me. I acted like an idiot, blowing up and leaving ridiculous
posts back at him. At times I was so bothered I was wishing he would just die. Then a friend of mine died and I realized how trivial all this is.
I no longer care what he or anyone else thinks of me. I tried too hard too fit in and it all backfired on me. Jimmy pointed out some of my faults
and I've made efforts to change some of my actions because of it. I even tried to call a truce to all of this to spare this site but he's relentless
and I'm beyond caring. I love Judas Priest and I want to be a part of this site and the last thing I want is conflict however Jimmy persists. I like you
and hope this doesn't piss you off but you, him, or anyone else that doesn't like what I post can use the ignore button. I always complain about all
the bitching here but others always say it's their right so it's mine also. I should have listened to Freeze and Spapad and Guido and HRMG in the
beginning but I didn't so here I am. I'm not going to go ballistic anymore but if people want to rip me then people should expect a response.
Take care man. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Friday, February 18, 2011 3:17:07 PM)

I don't think think the atmosphere of the band/managers was the same back then. So, that made things difficult and would have shown in any work around that time. It only takes one person who's heart is not in it to sink a project. That is water under the bridge now, but guessing on it is also probably folly. What if, never works.

You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.
jimmyjames wrote:
I'm not convinced. Of course they are going to say that. No band is going to reform and say "yeah, we're basically sick of playing clubs so we're getting the old band back together so we can hit the arena circuit and cream some decent money out of it". It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts. Amazingly when traditional metal made a comeback in the early 2000s Priest made a comeback. You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?
HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS wrote:
You are right Becks,they truly aren't that shallow. Rob wanted back in the band long before it actually happened, but he put conditions on it such as wanting new management (which I WISH would have happened!) But a TON of shit went down when he left. Hurtful things were said by both sides and there were A LOT of hard feelings. It wasn't until Rob wrote a letter to the band, pouring out his heart, that they began to build the bridge again. Rob had a lot of making up to do with Glenn and once that happened they talked about reuniting. It wasn't for the money - it was because as Rob said, the greatest things he ever did were with Priest and that is where his heart is. KK said something like, why aren't we putting our eggs in one basket? They went to see Halford perform live and saw that Rob still had it. They are like siblings and siblings fight. Fortunately for us, they got back together and aren't holding any grudges. As Rob said before they got back together, we have to do it for the right reasons and not for money because the fans will know. Well, there you have it - we would be able to tell that they were there only for the money when on stage and trust me, they are having way too much fun and getting along way too well for it to be solely about money! I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

Maybe they just realised that the were never as good apart as they were together, and the fact that before all the crap post Painkiller happened, they were best friends. Maybe I'm just an optimist, but that's how I see it. As for money, yeah that plays some role, it has to, they make music for a living for goodness sakes. I guess I'm just not so easily convinced of Priest being so hollow.

Priests career since 1990 has pretty much been a joke and it's been a cash grab since 04.

Well, there you have it - we would be able to tell that they were there only for the money when on stage and trust me, they are having way too much fun and getting along way too well for it to be solely about money! I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

Oh sure, throw salt in that wound - I'm still kicking myself that I missed the Resurrection tour!!! Halford (the band) is most definitely not a waste. Rip on Winter Songs and Made of Metal all you want, but I love all the Halford albums!!! And Spa is right, Rob had to come back on his own. He needed to get it out of his system and see what he could do on his own. I don't have a problem with that, I just wish he hadn't left for as long as he did.
But I think I know what you mean JJ, you mean all those years Priest could have been recording with Rob and we'd have more metal from Priest? Maybe, or maybe if Rob had stayed they would have truly ended things years ago. I'm just thankful he is back now and we have another Priest album to look forward to!

Resurrection was a damn good tour.

You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

It was not a waste. Halford created many good songs. What would have happened if he stayed then............. would not have been what we wanted. He had to return of his own volition, or Priest would have suffered from disintrest. That would have been the nail in the coffin more than Rob leaving.

Haha I will try to stay self controlled, I get very very excited though. In hopefulness of a NZ show, for Craigs birthday next month I have ordered him a DOTF shirt to wear hopefully it arrives soon so I can post it on to him in time.

There's no denying that everything they've done together has been way better than anything they've done apart. Maybe management did sway them at times.

You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

I'm not convinced. Of course they are going to say that. No band is going to reform and say "yeah, we're basically sick of playing clubs so we're getting the old band back together so we can hit the arena circuit and cream some decent money out of it". It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts. Amazingly when traditional metal made a comeback in the early 2000s Priest made a comeback. You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?

You are right Becks,they truly aren't that shallow. Rob wanted back in the band long before it actually happened, but he put conditions on it such as wanting new management (which I WISH would have happened!) But a TON of shit went down when he left. Hurtful things were said by both sides and there were A LOT of hard feelings. It wasn't until Rob wrote a letter to the band, pouring out his heart, that they began to build the bridge again. Rob had a lot of making up to do with Glenn and once that happened they talked about reuniting. It wasn't for the money - it was because as Rob said, the greatest things he ever did were with Priest and that is where his heart is. KK said something like, why aren't we putting our eggs in one basket? They went to see Halford perform live and saw that Rob still had it. They are like siblings and siblings fight. Fortunately for us, they got back together and aren't holding any grudges. As Rob said before they got back together, we have to do it for the right reasons and not for money because the fans will know. Well, there you have it - we would be able to tell that they were there only for the money when on stage and trust me, they are having way too much fun and getting along way too well for it to be solely about money! I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts. Amazingly when traditional metal made a comeback in the early 2000s Priest made a comeback. You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?

Rob had a lot of making up to do with Glenn and once that happened they talked about reuniting. It wasn't for the money - it was because as Rob said, the greatest things he ever did were with Priest and that is where his heart is. KK said something like, why aren't we putting our eggs in one basket? They went to see Halford perform live and saw that Rob still had it. They are like siblings and siblings fight. Fortunately for us, they got back together and aren't holding any grudges. As Rob said before they got back together, we have to do it for the right reasons and not for money because the fans will know. Well, there you have it - we would be able to tell that they were there only for the money when on stage and trust me, they are having way too much fun and getting along way too well for it to be solely about money! I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

I can't say the same about other bands though, reunite for one tour and call it quits again cause they can't stand each other.

There's no denying that everything they've done together has been way better than anything they've done apart. Maybe management did sway them at times. I just wish they'd stuck to their guns in the 90s, if they had done that the way the likes of Maiden, AC/DC, Slayer and so forth did then maybe I wouldn't feel the way I do.

You are absolutely right about why Rob left, he saw traditional metal was no longer the in thing. He even said metal was dead, didn't he? I was so pissed at him that I didn't even follow him back then and stuck with Priest. I think the POE album and some of the other things are management and record companies telling Priest to go that way, not necessarily what they wanted to do if you know what I mean. As for the reissues and remasters, it's the only way to keep your stuff on the shelves of the CD stores these days because they only carry the current stuff. I remember when you could go into a record store and buy any album the band had, current or 10 years old but it just isn't that way anymore. Other bands do the same thing, trying to attract new fans. Is it the bands decision to put out those or is it the record company's? I don't know. And yeah, Rob wasn't making it big with Fight, Two or Halford and then he reunited with Priest. But money isn't everything and if you hate the people you are with, it just isn't worth it. When I saw Priest in 1990, I'm not even kidding about this - they HATED each other that night! It was beyond obvious to anyone that had ever seen them before. I have the bootleg video of that show too. They aren't very good at hiding their emotions on stage, lets put it that way. Of course it's about making money too, but they wouldn't be able to write or tour if they really didn't want to be together. So I'd say it's likely half and half, 50% for $ and 50% because of the magic they found together.

It's no coincidence they broke up when bands like Pantera and Sepultura were getting big, the grunge era was in full swing and Halford saw that as the future, hence the reason he started Fight and started wearing backwards caps and checkered shirts. Amazingly when traditional metal made a comeback in the early 2000s Priest made a comeback. You can say they wouldn't do something so hollow but they've chased the buck so many times in the past ( Point Of Entry, Turbo, Johnny B Good cover, countless reissues, remasters, British Steel re reissue and tour, that shitty live album they released), why should this be any different?

Wow, you're so smart. You know everything.
We should start a thread called "Ask Jimmy"
Oh yeah' and some people just hate Maiden cause they've sucked since the early nineties.
That and Bruce is an arrogant asshole!

Yes it was, the band had been broken up for 14 years. Obviously bad blood there as well. Priest were a joke with Ripper, The Fight and Halford bands were going nowhere. Suddenly classic metal starts to make a comeback in the early 2000s. Oh well, lets put our differences aside and try and make some money out of it. That's exactly what happened.

Final Frontier is actually really good. The best Maiden have done in a while. And a much more deserved grammy than Priests for Dissident Aggressor. There seems to be a lot of anti Maiden feeling on this thread sometimes. It looks like a case of sour grapes from Priest fans who can't admit that Maiden have just done it better than Priest throughout their career. Priests career since 1990 has pretty much been a joke and it's been a cash grab since 04.

I can't think of any other reason why a band who don't get along would suddenly decide to reform after 14 years. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, February 18, 2011 1:44:56 AM)

Why would you give a flyin' fuck where I've been? And no I didn't know Maiden won a grammy because I don't care about Maiden. Looks like Saxon is up 9 to 1 in your "metal showdown" thread,there is a "reason" for this.
Well I see the old Saxon fanboy himself is back ...where you been man?
Maiden won a grammy while you were gone. Just in case you didn't know. lol

Hi everybody. I'm from Russia. As you all know Iron Maiden has started new Final Frontier Tour and started from Moscow. I saw it last week. The set list was super but the show..... Nothing special. Has nothing to do with what they promissed.
