I MYSELF WAS THINKING THE SAME THING ABOUT STARBREAKER! Scott could do an amazing solo along with the song, we all know he has it in him! And I've also been thinking about the songs I haven't heard live (in person)... I've seen them everytime here in MN since '04/'05 ('04 was actually at Rock Fest in Wisconsin..) But none-the-less, I would love LOVE to hear some of the old material and see an old-style stage setup (Where's the thousand Marshall stacks at!?) The outfits... BRING 'EM BACK! All these guys are still lookin' killer, even after all they've been through.

when I heard that priest was working on new material I was extremely happy. I can't wait to see what they made for us. And I think that it will be a full album because I dont think they would leave us hanging on a few songs. Can't wait for more info on the new material and the tour.

Alright, I'm just teasing you...
So, what do you all think about the January 26th news that Priest is working on some new material? Do you think they heard our pleas to at least release a few songs through iTunes or something?
I just want three special release songs--a goodbye present to us. A whole album would be cool, but three kick ass songs would be fine. Two Painkiller type songs, and one song like Victim of Changes or something.

Ian Hill: "Everything is a risk during the days of downloading. If it's downloaded legally, that's fine. But illegal downloads are the problem. It sounds like a good idea, music for nothing, but unfortunately, it doesn't cost nothing to produce, it costs a fucking fortune to produce. And it's not really bands like ourselves who lose out, because we've got a huge back catalog and we've got a lot of fans who will go out and buy the album anyway. But the up-and-coming bands, they don't get a chance, they have no option but to give their music away. Record companies aren't giving out many contracts anymore, simply because they're not making any money. It's as simple as that."

I had to laugh at "nost, it followed some kind of progression but not priest" comment. I so agree.
I realize some here like it and that's cool, it's just not for me. I've never made it through the complete
album on a single listen, ever. The only song that I truly love off of that CD is "Alone".

The last two Priest albums and Halford's latest are proof of this. A.O.R. has some good music on it but it's hardly
a classic Priest album. I truly believed after the British Steel tour they still had it but??? So maybe it's not betrayal

P.S.
...I paid for Halford's new CD and the only Priest I ever downloaded was "A Touch of Evil Live" and
I paid for that also at Itunes. I will support bands I consider favorites. |

[Budred] Tuesday, January 04, 2011 4:52:57 AM | |

I know that there are people on both sides of the fence when it comes to downloads. Originally I was against it but then I thought
about all the $19.99 CD's that I bought when they first came out. Then I thought about how concert prices got out of hand and all
the $60.00 to $100.00 tickets I paid for. Then I thought about how T-Shirt prices went from $10.00 to $40.00 or more. The parking
fees shot up to $25.00 at some venues. Because of this I feel justified stealing music. I've only recently started doing it but I plan on
continuing. I'll buy new Priest if it ever happens and I'll pay for Mushroomhead and a (few) others but otherwise I'm stealing it. I'll
give bands my money by buying concert tickets and that's it. No new CD's and no new Concert Tee's. |
