I appreciate the sudgestion Schmelzer.
I bought Fight War of Words on cassette when it first came out, and later replaced it on CD of course. I also own Halford's Ressurrection, Crucible, and Live Insurrection. I'm not all about fast blow your eardrums out heavy metal. It's just that Nostradamus is way off the mark from what I expected from JP. I'm expecting my copy in the mail today, and as I've said on anther thread...I'll keep it in my collection, and give it it's fair chance to grow on me. None-the-less there will be no gaps in my JP collection with Rob as their singer. I've got some back-catalog catching up to do with his solo career, so I'll focus there until their (JP's) next CD comes out.

"War of words" is definitely the way to go if you're looking for something heavier and more dangerous.

Hearing songs like "Nailed To The Gun", "Into To Pit" and "Kill It" for the first time I thought to myself "Wow, the Metal God is really pissed off!" This album is heavy for sure. But not every song is heavy, there are also a few slower songs on this disc. The awesome "For All Eternity" for example. Halford's vocals will kick your ass, Scott Travis is an animal on the drum kit and the other musicians are very talented as well. I payed a whoppin' seven bucks for this disc! LOL! Still sealed! Quite a bargain!
Check out the song "Nailed To The Gun" and see if it doesn't send you into spastic headbanging fits:

I've tried to listen to the "leak" of Nostradamus twice now. The first time I made it to song #16, and the 2nd time...song #12. I was hoping it would get better the 2nd time, but it didn't. Rob's voice is gone down the tubes. He's singing in a very limited vocal range, and I'm afraid it will only get worse from here. The few times he tries to hit a higher note, his voice strains to reach it, and I can almost hear it crack.
I will eventually hear it all, but for now...I'm quite dissapointed that I spent money for the deluxe edition. It doesn't sound like it will be worth $42 I spent.
I hope the book, and poster are better than the cd!
I am a diehard Priest fan since 1986, and this is not how I wanted Priest to end.

Please allow me to say that it appears I was wrong. I must have been having a bad day and I clearly let this get out of hand. My apologies to Mr. Ward for the treatment and rude comments. Not everyone is going to like this new album. It is a clear departure from what we have come to expect, especially given that AoR was really so good (in my opinion).
There is really no cause to go on about demeaning others. It is obvious that I misunderstood Mr. Ward's comments. My apologies to all. Edited at: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 1:04:07 PM |

Metal Thrash Magazine review: http://www.thrashmag.com/reviews/content.aspx?id=1160
Our Rating: 8.6 |
Others Thought
Metal Invader 50/100
|
Legendary metal heads Judas Priest, has come a long way starting off the whole trend of the leather jacket scene with motorcycle riding babes and rocking guitar riffs and solos tearing us to pieces. There career has taken them around the world more than once, touring and selling out shows and millions of albums world wide. What keeps the blood rushing to their head not wanting to give up? I’ll tell you what. The power and inspiration they receive from their loyal and beloved fans. Judas Priest has brought great music to our ears and will not stop until they are good and ready.
Judas Priest’s forthcoming album "Nostradamus," is set during the 16th century prophet of the same name. This being the band's first concept album it was pushed back several times. Having to have come out late 2006 got turned into 2007 but the offical release date is June 17th 2008. During an interview, on and off guitarist K.K. Downing revealed that 18 tracks had been recorded back in 2007. Not a single track was going to be put aside. The band wanted to aim for releasing a double disc CD or triple vinyl whenever it was to be released.
"Nostradamus," offers symphonic orchestrations, a lot of keyboard useage and a choir unlike any the band has used before. Overall this album was developed over a long period of time and it paid off to have waited this long. The first disc contains 13 tracks of heart pulsing guitar riffs and drum tones throughout. Some tracks worth listening to would have to include: "The Four Horsemen," to start off with. This title alone brings a reminder of what it stands for. This title represents the thunderous force that has terrorizes our world. The music behind it is just as forcing as the real thing. "Sands of Time," is another out-going track that takes you away with it's keyboarding styles that puts you at ease with its backdrop of guitars and bass solos coming in and out keeping in step with the drumming and vocals. Tracks nine and ten “Peace,” and “Death,” go hand in hand because one talks about wanting peace on earth, while the other wants to destroy earth and kill everything in sight. The first disc is by far a great introduction but one standout track has to be,"Lost Love." This mellow love song brings tears to your eyes having your heart melt into your hands, bringing nothing but happiness drawing upon your face.
The second disc gives us 10 tracks continuing the story of "Nostradamus," having several tracks that are very ear catching. "Solitude," rips off your head getting the beat underway and keeps your head moshing with it's fast guitar riffs and keyboards pounding out as much as they can give. "Shadows in the Flame," is a much darker track pulling you into the dark pit of fire and not letting go. The vocals, guitars, bass, and drums all come together on this dark riff of blaze and glory. Last but not lease has to be the title track, which indeed completes this album showing us exactly what Judas Priest is made of and they have done their job well.
If you are a fan and wish to witness this brillant album in person then go catch Judas Priest in concert this summer, they are waiting for your arrival.

I really enjoy this album because of its creativity. Judas Priest rocks because they aren't afraid to try something different. If I wanted the same old comfortable shoe, I'd pick up some CD by IronMaiden/Slayer/Ozzy. Priest takes risks with their sound and I'm a gamblin man too. Violins.. synth.. Halford singing in Italian.. mandolin.. hell yea ! ! !
And now this posession..
Becomes my one obsession....

We waited 3 years for this tripe? Why no proper production.or producer? .awful songs awful sound..bury the album and write it off as an anomaly...remember them for their great canon of music and forget this ever happened.
Doesn't even sound like the band cares on this album... |

Wow! Immortal Sin is a great song.........I think Halford should substitute some of the weaker Priest songs for some 'halford or 'fights' tunes. then we would have a really great Priest show. |

Okay let me apologize for not replying until now. I tend to have a life outside of work and Priest fandom like the rest of my metal brethern do (I bet that shocks you, doesn't it, Rob?).
Very true, HB. Rob, it's mind-boggling to myself and plenty of others for you to say that you basically hate every release that Priest has put out starting with Turbo through now (not sure why you don't include Painkiller in that as well, since they're using processors there as well too). As for not wanting to make people upset...what did you expect to happen when you go and bash the band's effort on their own website!?!? You didn't think about that, did you?
As for you not knowing anything about DF's condition, that's fine. It took me a while to figure out what the deal was myself, but don't you bother reading or perusing the other threads? I don't get that, but to each their own.
To be perfectly honest, Rob...I won't listen to either Jugulator or Demolition b/c I'm not a fan of Ripper Owens. However, I think HB put it best when he said that he doesn't understand how everything from Turbo through AOR sound alike to you. I'm not a musician, but even my untrained ear can easily discern that none of those CD's sound similiar.
Okay, my involvement in this discussion has ended. I'm not commenting further on it. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Head banger from Monday, June 16, 2008 10:43:55 PM) |  | Head banger wrote: | | OK, I was trying to avoid this, but well I can't.
Rob, you have every right to your opinion, but you cant expect to go to a Judas Priest website and say you hate them and not annoy people. your saying you were defending yourself, well, darth, DF and others were defending a band they love.
I dont quite understand how turbo, RID, Jug, Demo and Angel all sound similar to you, but thats your thing. I havent listened to this yet, because I want the Actual CD so I can hear it on decent speakers. either I like it or I dont, but either way, I like priest. |  | Rob Ward wrote: | | Alright Darth first let’s go back to the beginning and why we are here in the first place. I gave my honest opinion about the cd, I didn't call anyone names, I didn't say you was stupid if you like this cd, I didn't bring anyone in to it. I've never talked to you or Deep before in my life, I have no idea who you are, I don't know what kind of person you are, and I've never read any of your post. So then I get attacked by the two of you and neither of you know anything about me, yet you call me names and tell lies and half truths about me, even up to today you called me and "arrogant S.O.B" and it's completely unwarranted as I have been defending myself from your attacks since your first response to me.
As for my "HONEST" review of the cd, I held nothing back because I'm tired of the same old crap this band has been putting out since Turbo with the exception of Painkiller. I said I hate Judas Priest because at this point I do; I hate them because they make it hard for me to continue to be fan. I'm sick of the thrash metal cd’s and songs, I'm sick of the down right crappy music, see Ram It Down. I know every cd can't be Screaming for Vengeance, but damn dude this crap they've been putting out is getting old. I'm tired of hearing Glenn play solo's that all sound the same, they're all fast, noodley, and void of any feeling. I hate that they use processors instead of real amps, their guitar tone is nothing like it used to be, in fact its worse then it's ever been. I hate it when I hear or read an interview and they say things like "The Metal Community," "The Kids," I'm forty freakin' years old I'm not a kid, and I don’t think of music in terms of metal being this separate entity that people who like Judas Priest listen to nothing but heavy metal. I have a very diverse taste in music and I don’t want to be included in this alternative universe. This isn’t the 80’s when Heavy Metal was considered the devils music, heck it has its own category at the music awards thanks to Metallica.
Then they come out with this conceptual album, if you like it that's fine with me but I don't. I don't want to like it, I want to listen to music with feeling and energy, fist pumping head banging actual music, not some freakin' "Metal Opera" that I have to listen to in the dark 3 or 4 times by myself before I "Understand" what they're trying to do. When I was 15 I probably would have liked this cd, I would have thought of it as some mysterious puzzle that I had to decode. That's why I used the phrase, "Mush Brained Adolescences," at 15 that's pretty much what you are. Being 40 years old I look at it as a piece of crap and a waste of time. Who gives a freak about Nostradamus anyway? Why in the heck is it about Nostradamus? He's as irrelevant as the cold war.
I was listening to Halfords solo stuff, War of Words, and Resurrection, those 2 cd's are better then anything Priest has put out since Defenders of the Faith, with the exception of Painkiller. Crucible is another great cd, I listen to that stuff and then I hear Nostradamus and I ask myself, why am I still a fan of this band? I've been listening to Priest since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but since Turbo came out I have been less and less a fan. When Painkiller came out it was a breath of fresh air, I thought to myself finally a cd that I'm proud to listen to, then the whole thing with Rob leaving the band and the way in which they handled it, Glenn calling Tim the best singer Priest ever had etc. etc. it was a joke. I'm sure you've heard a band call "Airborne," those guys are kicking ass, they're the complete package. Their songs kick ass, their actually entertaining to listen to, and its actual music. Their guitar tone is to die for, the guitar work is so bluesy and soulful, it's the kind of music you have on while your hanging with your buddies and or your girl while your drinking a couple of beers shooting some pool or whatever. Nostradamus doesn't offer that so I'm not interested in Nostradamus.
As for Deep and his physical condition, like I said I don't know they guy, I've never read any of his post, I don't know what kind of person he is. But like with you I have been defending myself since he first responded to my post. I never attacked him he attacks me by calling me names and suggesting to other people that my opinion was irrelevant because he didn't agree with it. I don't wish bad things on anyone and I'll keep him in my prayers, but being disabled isn't a free pass, I won't hesitate to defend myself. |  | Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote: | | Okay Rob, so let's talk about your "honest opinion" of the new CD. It's one thing to have an opinion and not like a release. That's not what our problem is. The problem is that you claim to be a Judas Priest fan for x amount of years, yet you clearly state that in your first post on this thread, that you hate Judas Priest for this CD.
Frankly, even if I didn't like a CD, I wouldn't go as far as to hate a band for it. You might as well not even be a fan. Seriously, I mean your original diatribe (hard to call it an opinion since you rambled on so incessantly when your point was well made in your first post) raised your level of discourse (to a whole lot of people here) to the point where a casual observer would probably wonder why you're even a fan at all.
If you don't like the CD...hey, that's fine. That's your opinion. The hate thing for a band you supposedly are a fan of is clearly stupid at best though. Maybe a clarification of your original comment is needed since we've possibly misunderstood you?

I did need one! I have an upset stomach from the spotted owl I had for breakfast. Incredible! You are a mere 40 years old, yet you have managed to become so tremendously arrogant in that short period!?!?! Ah well, there is certainly no accounting for upbringing.
I fear we have let this spiral out of control. I stand by my opinion of you and your actions. If you choose to further debate, you can do so with yourself, or perhaps Darth would like a go at you.. You are condemned by your own words, not mine. I cannot imagine ANY scenario in which a person could go to a particular band's OFFICIAL website and declare, in their own words, that they "hate" them, and then not expect retribution. Worse yet, the faked indignance is really beneath a man of your alleged " years", is it not? You are "man" enough to say it, you should be "man" enough to admit it. But again, upbringing.
Finally, I expect that you will respond to me. It is the nature of the guilty to profess their innocence. As you no doubt have heard before, jails are full of innocent people. In any event, you are free to continue to do and say whatever you wish. I am sure you and your one friend will enjoy your time here with us. You must be incredibly proud. |  | Rob Ward wrote: | | Gee Deep, however did I come to that conclusion? Maybe this will refresh your memory;
"I think it is more than obvious that Mr. Ward is still craving attention. If you recall, he made inflammatory remarks many weeks ago and was called out on it then as well. This is not a person that anyone should consider a valid source of musical knowledge. We are not talking the R&D man at Sony here, people! This is a person that is simply looking for a reaction, and it appears there are many that are more than willing to oblige."
Or how about this part?
"Look, if the guy does not like the album, fine. He has every right to his opinion! I can accept that there are probably many more just like him in this world. However, you will note that most of them do not come here to the official site and bash on the Band. Clearly, we have an attention seeker on our hands. Worse yet, we are lending him credence by responding!"
Or how about this part when you call me stupid?
I know there are many of you that have been members of this site long enough to have seen this schtick more than once. I can remember some that were actually intelligent and presented an argument worthy of debate. I fear that is not the case with young Mr. Ward. Further discussion or counter-argument with this individual is the mental equivalent of debate with an Australian bushman regarding the intricasies of compound interest and bond investment. It is simply a waste of your time!
Why is it that you prefer for me to ignore you, but you couldn't find the restraint to do it yourself in the first place? Are you above being responded to? Let me guess you’re a liberal aren't you?
BTW, I'm 40 years old; you can save your speeches for your global warming POW WOW, and lets see the inflammatory remarks I made a few weeks ago.

Indeed. I fail to see how it is that you can even suggest that I have "attacked" you or anyone else for that matter. In fact, I clearly stated that you are entitled to your opinion of the new album, did I not? I could not care less if you have a "reaction" to me or not. I would quite prefer you ignore me. I see that you have been here five years and yet you have ONE friend?? It is no surprise.
I stand by my previous comments. Your remarks were NOT of a constructive nature but rather, they were meant to cause discord; at this point and time I can honestly say I hate Judas Priest. THAT is a musical opinion??? Perhaps you should spend a bit more time in class (or should have) to get a clearer understanding of the words we use in the English language? By any standard, you could certainly use a lesson or two in manners.
I do not believe that it was I who asked for you to "leave". I certainly do not care if you are here or you are not. As I have mentioned before, it is not up to me and your ilk have come and gone so many times I have lost count. But, when one comes to an OFFICIAL site and expresses "hate" for the site's subject, I tend to believe it is not about having an opinion or exercising ones right to speech. It is an overt attempt to grab attention or agitate. (I will give you a moment to look those up as well)
Say what you will. You have that right. But there is no need to be a liar in addition to being a boor.

Deep, I'm glad you’re the one everyone needs to look for to figure out who's who on the board. I don't do anything for a reaction; I posted what I thought about the cd and the singles that was previously released. It is you and Darth and a couple of others that attack someone for giving their honest opinion about the cd, it is you and they that try for a reaction. I never once called anyone a name or made a derogatory comment to or about anyone. I gave my honest opinion and because it wasn't a positive cool aid drinking opinion I am attacked for it.
I don't care what Judas Priest is trying to achieve with this cd, it sucks. I am one that likes music that is inspiring and entertaining, nothing in this cd is entertaining. I hate the guitar sound, I hate the guitar work, and I hate all the slow dragged out songs that sounds like the one before it. I don't like the vocals, it's a lame attempt at opera, and they are completely out of place. I don't like the cd and I don't need to leave the board because you or anyone else doesn't like what I say. If you and Darth can't handle what people say then it is you and he that needs to leave.
I am now, always have been, and always will be a Judas Priest fan, but I hate them for recording this cd and few others. Just because you write something that so completely different then anything anyone else has ever done, doesn't automatically make it something great. IMO they failed with this cd, if you or anyone else can't handle my opinion then TFB!

I think it is more than obvious that Mr. Ward is still craving attention. If you recall, he made inflammatory remarks many weeks ago and was called out on it then as well. This is not a person that anyone should consider a valid source of musical knowledge. We are not talking the R&D man at Sony here, people! This is a person that is simply looking for a reaction, and it appears there are many that are more than willing to oblige.
Look, if the guy does not like the album, fine. He has every right to his opinion! I can accept that there are probably many more just like him in this world. However, you will note that most of them do not come here to the official site and bash on the Band. Clearly, we have an attention seeker on our hands. Worse yet, we are lending him credence by responding!
I know there are many of you that have been members of this site long enough to have seen this schtick more than once.

I think people were mostly shocked because you lacked the elements to a good review, though I respect your opinion and think nothing of it.
I believe whoever listens to Nostradamus will find the flaws and its many good moments by themselves.
You must agree, though, that the stage show this time around is awesome. Actually, it is phenomenal. The lighting and the props are very well done. The use of the black, red and gold compliments the band very well. I can only expect great sound quality when they've put so much care this time into providing a visual feast to the audience, don't you think so?
The band members look fresh in their well made outfits and the silver cape that Rob Halford wears on stage is theatrically a good move. The photos out there so far make this tour look like it's worth travelling to see, though the album cover itself is a load of tripe. Graphic designers don't know the... from the... and the logo should not have been changed. Some things the fans love enough to wish to see them unchanged. The golden JP symbols on the stage make up for this faux-pas. I'm expecting a great tour and I look forward to reading the reviews posted on the web.

I gave my honest opinion about the cd, I didn't call anyone names, I didn't say you was stupid if you like this cd, I didn't bring anyone in to it. I've never talked to you or Deep before in my life, I have no idea who you are, I don't know what kind of person you are, and I've never read any of your post. So then I get attacked by the two of you and neither of you know anything about me, yet you call me names and tell lies and half truths about me, even up to today you called me and "arrogant S.O.B" and it's completely unwarranted as I have been defending myself from your attacks since your first response to me.
As for my "HONEST" review of the cd, I held nothing back because I'm tired of the same old crap this band has been putting out since Turbo with the exception of Painkiller. I said I hate Judas Priest because at this point I do; I hate them because they make it hard for me to continue to be fan. I'm sick of the thrash metal cd’s and songs, I'm sick of the down right crappy music, see Ram It Down. I know every cd can't be Screaming for Vengeance, but damn dude this crap they've been putting out is getting old. I'm tired of hearing Glenn play solo's that all sound the same, they're all fast, noodley, and void of any feeling. I hate that they use processors instead of real amps, their guitar tone is nothing like it used to be, in fact its worse then it's ever been. I hate it when I hear or read an interview and they say things like "The Metal Community," "The Kids," I'm forty freakin' years old I'm not a kid, and I don’t think of music in terms of metal being this separate entity that people who like Judas Priest listen to nothing but heavy metal. I have a very diverse taste in music and I don’t want to be included in this alternative universe. This isn’t the 80’s when Heavy Metal was considered the devils music, heck it has its own category at the music awards thanks to Metallica.
Then they come out with this conceptual album, if you like it that's fine with me but I don't. I don't want to like it, I want to listen to music with feeling and energy, fist pumping head banging actual music, not some freakin' "Metal Opera" that I have to listen to in the dark 3 or 4 times by myself before I "Understand" what they're trying to do. When I was 15 I probably would have liked this cd, I would have thought of it as some mysterious puzzle that I had to decode. That's why I used the phrase, "Mush Brained Adolescences," at 15 that's pretty much what you are. Being 40 years old I look at it as a piece of crap and a waste of time. Who gives a freak about Nostradamus anyway? Why in the heck is it about Nostradamus? He's as irrelevant as the cold war.
I was listening to Halfords solo stuff, War of Words, and Resurrection, those 2 cd's are better then anything Priest has put out since Defenders of the Faith, with the exception of Painkiller. Crucible is another great cd, I listen to that stuff and then I hear Nostradamus and I ask myself, why am I still a fan of this band? I've been listening to Priest since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but since Turbo came out I have been less and less a fan. When Painkiller came out it was a breath of fresh air, I thought to myself finally a cd that I'm proud to listen to, then the whole thing with Rob leaving the band and the way in which they handled it, Glenn calling Tim the best singer Priest ever had etc. etc. it was a joke. I'm sure you've heard a band call "Airborne," those guys are kicking ass, they're the complete package. Their songs kick ass, their actually entertaining to listen to, and its actual music. Their guitar tone is to die for, the guitar work is so bluesy and soulful, it's the kind of music you have on while your hanging with your buddies and or your girl while your drinking a couple of beers shooting some pool or whatever. Nostradamus doesn't offer that so I'm not interested in Nostradamus.
As for Deep and his physical condition, like I said I don't know they guy, I've never read any of his post, I don't know what kind of person he is. But like with you I have been defending myself since he first responded to my post. I never attacked him he attacks me by calling me names and suggesting to other people that my opinion was irrelevant because he didn't agree with it. I don't wish bad things on anyone and I'll keep him in my prayers, but being disabled isn't a free pass, I won't hesitate to defend myself. |  | Darth_Painkiller_0870 wrote: | | Okay Rob, so let's talk about your "honest opinion" of the new CD. It's one thing to have an opinion and not like a release. That's not what our problem is. The problem is that you claim to be a Judas Priest fan for x amount of years, yet you clearly state that in your first post on this thread, that you hate Judas Priest for this CD.
Frankly, even if I didn't like a CD, I wouldn't go as far as to hate a band for it. You might as well not even be a fan. Seriously, I mean your original diatribe (hard to call it an opinion since you rambled on so incessantly when your point was well made in your first post) raised your level of discourse (to a whole lot of people here) to the point where a casual observer would probably wonder why you're even a fan at all.
If you don't like the CD...hey, that's fine. That's your opinion. The hate thing for a band you supposedly are a fan of is clearly stupid at best though. Maybe a clarification of your original comment is needed since we've possibly misunderstood you?

I fear we have let this spiral out of control. I stand by my opinion of you and your actions. If you choose to further debate, you can do so with yourself, or perhaps Darth would like a go at you.. You are condemned by your own words, not mine. I cannot imagine ANY scenario in which a person could go to a particular band's OFFICIAL website and declare, in their own words, that they "hate" them, and then not expect retribution. Worse yet, the faked indignance is really beneath a man of your alleged " years", is it not? You are "man" enough to say it, you should be "man" enough to admit it. But again, upbringing.
Finally, I expect that you will respond to me. It is the nature of the guilty to profess their innocence. As you no doubt have heard before, jails are full of innocent people.

Indeed. I fail to see how it is that you can even suggest that I have "attacked" you or anyone else for that matter. In fact, I clearly stated that you are entitled to your opinion of the new album, did I not? I could not care less if you have a "reaction" to me or not. I would quite prefer you ignore me. I see that you have been here five years and yet you have ONE friend?? It is no surprise.
I stand by my previous comments. Your remarks were NOT of a constructive nature but rather, they were meant to cause discord; at this point and time I can honestly say I hate Judas Priest. THAT is a musical opinion??? Perhaps you should spend a bit more time in class (or should have) to get a clearer understanding of the words we use in the English language? By any standard, you could certainly use a lesson or two in manners.
I do not believe that it was I who asked for you to "leave". I certainly do not care if you are here or you are not. As I have mentioned before, it is not up to me and your ilk have come and gone so many times I have lost count. But, when one comes to an OFFICIAL site and expresses "hate" for the site's subject, I tend to believe it is not about having an opinion or exercising ones right to speech. It is an overt attempt to grab attention or agitate. (I will give you a moment to look those up as well)
Say what you will. You have that right. But there is no need to be a liar in addition to being a boor.

Deep, I'm glad you’re the one everyone needs to look for to figure out who's who on the board. I don't do anything for a reaction; I posted what I thought about the cd and the singles that was previously released. It is you and Darth and a couple of others that attack someone for giving their honest opinion about the cd, it is you and they that try for a reaction. I never once called anyone a name or made a derogatory comment to or about anyone. I gave my honest opinion and because it wasn't a positive cool aid drinking opinion I am attacked for it.
I don't care what Judas Priest is trying to achieve with this cd, it sucks. I am one that likes music that is inspiring and entertaining, nothing in this cd is entertaining. I hate the guitar sound, I hate the guitar work, and I hate all the slow dragged out songs that sounds like the one before it. I don't like the vocals, it's a lame attempt at opera, and they are completely out of place. I don't like the cd and I don't need to leave the board because you or anyone else doesn't like what I say. If you and Darth can't handle what people say then it is you and he that needs to leave.

OK, I was trying to avoid this, but well I can't.
Rob, you have every right to your opinion, but you cant expect to go to a Judas Priest website and say you hate them and not annoy people. your saying you were defending yourself, well, darth, DF and others were defending a band they love.
I dont quite understand how turbo, RID, Jug, Demo and Angel all sound similar to you, but thats your thing. I havent listened to this yet, because I want the Actual CD so I can hear it on decent speakers. either I like it or I dont, but either way, I like priest.

In fact, I clearly stated that you are entitled to your opinion of the new album, did I not? I could not care less if you have a "reaction" to me or not. I would quite prefer you ignore me. I see that you have been here five years and yet you have ONE friend?? It is no surprise.
I stand by my previous comments. Your remarks were NOT of a constructive nature but rather, they were meant to cause discord; at this point and time I can honestly say I hate Judas Priest. THAT is a musical opinion??? Perhaps you should spend a bit more time in class (or should have) to get a clearer understanding of the words we use in the English language? By any standard, you could certainly use a lesson or two in manners.
I do not believe that it was I who asked for you to "leave". I certainly do not care if you are here or you are not. As I have mentioned before, it is not up to me and your ilk have come and gone so many times I have lost count. But, when one comes to an OFFICIAL site and expresses "hate" for the site's subject, I tend to believe it is not about having an opinion or exercising ones right to speech. It is an overt attempt to grab attention or agitate. (I will give you a moment to look those up as well)
Say what you will. You have that right. But there is no need to be a liar in addition to being a boor.

Deep, I'm glad you’re the one everyone needs to look for to figure out who's who on the board. I don't do anything for a reaction; I posted what I thought about the cd and the singles that was previously released. It is you and Darth and a couple of others that attack someone for giving their honest opinion about the cd, it is you and they that try for a reaction. I never once called anyone a name or made a derogatory comment to or about anyone. I gave my honest opinion and because it wasn't a positive cool aid drinking opinion I am attacked for it.
I don't care what Judas Priest is trying to achieve with this cd, it sucks. I am one that likes music that is inspiring and entertaining, nothing in this cd is entertaining. I hate the guitar sound, I hate the guitar work, and I hate all the slow dragged out songs that sounds like the one before it. I don't like the vocals, it's a lame attempt at opera, and they are completely out of place. I don't like the cd and I don't need to leave the board because you or anyone else doesn't like what I say. If you and Darth can't handle what people say then it is you and he that needs to leave.
I am now, always have been, and always will be a Judas Priest fan, but I hate them for recording this cd and few others. Just because you write something that so completely different then anything anyone else has ever done, doesn't automatically make it something great. IMO they failed with this cd, if you or anyone else can't handle my opinion then TFB!

I think it is more than obvious that Mr. Ward is still craving attention. If you recall, he made inflammatory remarks many weeks ago and was called out on it then as well. This is not a person that anyone should consider a valid source of musical knowledge. We are not talking the R&D man at Sony here, people! This is a person that is simply looking for a reaction, and it appears there are many that are more than willing to oblige.
Look, if the guy does not like the album, fine. He has every right to his opinion! I can accept that there are probably many more just like him in this world. However, you will note that most of them do not come here to the official site and bash on the Band. Clearly, we have an attention seeker on our hands. Worse yet, we are lending him credence by responding!
I know there are many of you that have been members of this site long enough to have seen this schtick more than once. I can remember some that were actually intelligent and presented an argument worthy of debate. I fear that is not the case with young Mr. Ward. Further discussion or counter-argument with this individual is the mental equivalent of debate with an Australian bushman regarding the intricasies of compound interest and bond investment. It is simply a waste of your time! |

OK,for the record here. I just finished "Nostraamus" in it`s entirety. I like it. Not exactly what I expected,but I like it . Had the volume way up so I got the full on assault of power presented. If anyone gave it a listen down low,try again and turn it up!!
As for disgruntled fans here,perhaps it`s time to move on,no offense is meant by that. It`s just time that`s all. Edited at: Monday, June 16, 2008 8:19:07 PM |

Alright Darth first let’s go back to the beginning and why we are here in the first place. I gave my honest opinion about the cd, I didn't call anyone names, I didn't say you was stupid if you like this cd, I didn't bring anyone in to it. I've never talked to you or Deep before in my life, I have no idea who you are, I don't know what kind of person you are, and I've never read any of your post. So then I get attacked by the two of you and neither of you know anything about me, yet you call me names and tell lies and half truths about me, even up to today you called me and "arrogant S.O.B" and it's completely unwarranted as I have been defending myself from your attacks since your first response to me.
As for my "HONEST" review of the cd, I held nothing back because I'm tired of the same old crap this band has been putting out since Turbo with the exception of Painkiller. I said I hate Judas Priest because at this point I do; I hate them because they make it hard for me to continue to be fan. I'm sick of the thrash metal cd’s and songs, I'm sick of the down right crappy music, see Ram It Down. I know every cd can't be Screaming for Vengeance, but damn dude this crap they've been putting out is getting old. I'm tired of hearing Glenn play solo's that all sound the same, they're all fast, noodley, and void of any feeling. I hate that they use processors instead of real amps, their guitar tone is nothing like it used to be, in fact its worse then it's ever been. I hate it when I hear or read an interview and they say things like "The Metal Community," "The Kids," I'm forty freakin' years old I'm not a kid, and I don’t think of music in terms of metal being this separate entity that people who like Judas Priest listen to nothing but heavy metal. I have a very diverse taste in music and I don’t want to be included in this alternative universe. This isn’t the 80’s when Heavy Metal was considered the devils music, heck it has its own category at the music awards thanks to Metallica.
Then they come out with this conceptual album, if you like it that's fine with me but I don't. I don't want to like it, I want to listen to music with feeling and energy, fist pumping head banging actual music, not some freakin' "Metal Opera" that I have to listen to in the dark 3 or 4 times by myself before I "Understand" what they're trying to do. When I was 15 I probably would have liked this cd, I would have thought of it as some mysterious puzzle that I had to decode. That's why I used the phrase, "Mush Brained Adolescences," at 15 that's pretty much what you are. Being 40 years old I look at it as a piece of crap and a waste of time. Who gives a freak about Nostradamus anyway? Why in the heck is it about Nostradamus? He's as irrelevant as the cold war.
I was listening to Halfords solo stuff, War of Words, and Resurrection, those 2 cd's are better then anything Priest has put out since Defenders of the Faith, with the exception of Painkiller. Crucible is another great cd, I listen to that stuff and then I hear Nostradamus and I ask myself, why am I still a fan of this band? I've been listening to Priest since 1978 when I first heard Green Manalishi, but since Turbo came out I have been less and less a fan. When Painkiller came out it was a breath of fresh air, I thought to myself finally a cd that I'm proud to listen to, then the whole thing with Rob leaving the band and the way in which they handled it, Glenn calling Tim the best singer Priest ever had etc. etc. it was a joke. I'm sure you've heard a band call "Airborne," those guys are kicking ass, they're the complete package. Their songs kick ass, their actually entertaining to listen to, and its actual music. Their guitar tone is to die for, the guitar work is so bluesy and soulful, it's the kind of music you have on while your hanging with your buddies and or your girl while your drinking a couple of beers shooting some pool or whatever. Nostradamus doesn't offer that so I'm not interested in Nostradamus.
As for Deep and his physical condition, like I said I don't know they guy, I've never read any of his post, I don't know what kind of person he is. But like with you I have been defending myself since he first responded to my post. I never attacked him he attacks me by calling me names and suggesting to other people that my opinion was irrelevant because he didn't agree with it. I don't wish bad things on anyone and I'll keep him in my prayers, but being disabled isn't a free pass, I won't hesitate to defend myself.

It's one thing to have an opinion and not like a release. That's not what our problem is. The problem is that you claim to be a Judas Priest fan for x amount of years, yet you clearly state that in your first post on this thread, that you hate Judas Priest for this CD.
Frankly, even if I didn't like a CD, I wouldn't go as far as to hate a band for it. You might as well not even be a fan. Seriously, I mean your original diatribe (hard to call it an opinion since you rambled on so incessantly when your point was well made in your first post) raised your level of discourse (to a whole lot of people here) to the point where a casual observer would probably wonder why you're even a fan at all.
If you don't like the CD...hey, that's fine. That's your opinion. The hate thing for a band you supposedly are a fan of is clearly stupid at best though. Maybe a clarification of your original comment is needed since we've possibly misunderstood you?

1. Freeze is disabled. There is a Deep Freeze Well Wishers Thread that you might want to take the time to read through at your lesuire to gain some measure of understanding.
2. Freeze is older than you by a few years. Sorry, but I don't remember his exact age. Perhaps you can go ask him yourself in PM?

You want to judge me by the amount of friends I have on this board, I have been a member of this board for 5 years and only have 1 friend and counting this post a total of 66 posts.

You on the other hand have been a member for 3 years and yet you have well over 15,000 post and you’re being ignored by 21 people, that's an indicator to me that you have no life to speak of, that's about 13 post a day. Does your mom know your on your computer that much? I mean I'm sure you don't spend all of your internet time on the Judas Priest board, get a job man and do something with your life...
Count me as #22 on your ignore list, your a waste of time and I'll need to reevaluate myself because I find very disturbing that I would actually have something in common with loser like you.... |  | Deep Freeze wrote: | | At the risk of GREAT personal annoyance, I will respond to you again.
Liberal?!?!? ME???? My good, YOUNG, man!...I am so conservative I make YOU look like a "New Dealer"! HA!!!!!!!!!!! Global Warming???HAHAHAHAA!! Oh my! I should probably thank you for the laugh. I did need one! I have an upset stomach from the spotted owl I had for breakfast. Incredible! You are a mere 40 years old, yet you have managed to become so tremendously arrogant in that short period!?!?! Ah well, there is certainly no accounting for upbringing.
I fear we have let this spiral out of control. I stand by my opinion of you and your actions. If you choose to further debate, you can do so with yourself, or perhaps Darth would like a go at you.. You are condemned by your own words, not mine. I cannot imagine ANY scenario in which a person could go to a particular band's OFFICIAL website and declare, in their own words, that they "hate" them, and then not expect retribution. Worse yet, the faked indignance is really beneath a man of your alleged " years", is it not? You are "man" enough to say it, you should be "man" enough to admit it. But again, upbringing.
Finally, I expect that you will respond to me. It is the nature of the guilty to profess their innocence. As you no doubt have heard before, jails are full of innocent people. In any event, you are free to continue to do and say whatever you wish. I am sure you and your one friend will enjoy your time here with us.

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |  | METAL MELTDOWN wrote: | | Afternoon folks....I am going to say that I did listen to a few minutes of each track and I was somewhat dissappointed. I say that because I have been waiting for another "Painkiller" or "British Steel" on each and every album. I am not knocking the album but I was hoping for an album of barnburners in the vein of Painkiller and half of AOR. I do think that, in time, this will grow on me but at the moment I do feel a little let down. It may be because my musical direction has taken a turn towards more progressive power metal, IDK. I did order the 39 buck package and had it expressed in. It should be in today as they emailed and said it shipped last friday. I really will not be able to tell completely without giving the entire CD a listen but I have the feeling that I am not going to like it too much.....Sorry |
