I agree mate i always wanted to know why they never played any Ripper Material with Halford i mean after all tracks like, One on One, Hell is Home, Burn in Hell, Cathedral Spires and Bullet Train are fantastic tracks it aint as if he wrote the songs lol. I know what you mean about experimentation, KK should go back to the solo's like Sinner and Victim of Changes and Glenn could stick to his beautifully written melodic solo's like Beyond the Realms of Death and Touch of Evil. As for Turbo, i love the album, the first half is a fantastic array of tracks i mean Out in the Cold is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion and Locked in is one of my all time favourites. If you can't headbang to Private property there is something wrong with you lol and Rock you all around the world has some killer riffage! As for Ram it Down i think people would love it more if it was Holland playing all of the tracks. they even played the title track live on the RID tour and yet on the album they used a drum machine cause you can tell by the sound. Hard as Iron remains one of my favourite tracks to this day definately the best on the album. I think Love Zone and Blood Red Skies are awesome too but the solos in the title track i have to agree can't be any better, some of the best guitar work i have ever heard them do and Halford's screams literally perforate your ear drums absolute class. I wasn't dissing RID i was just merely stating that was when i was born and stating that unfortunately i never saw them live in the 80's. I love the two Ripper albums dearly and Sin after Sin, POE has 5 great tracks on which are, Heading out to the Highway, Hot Rockin', Desert Plains, Solar Angels and You Say Yes. The rest are ok but those tracks i love. I do need to listen to Sin after Sin more though i reckon!

I would like to see some "experimentation" on the next album. In other words, I want KK to whip out the wah-wah pedal, He used in the 70's and on the Ripper albums. I am just sayin it would be cool.
I would love to see some of the Tim Owens material performed live also, a Halford style Bullett Train could not be that bad. I think it would be Great.
Recently I have been listening to some Priest albums that get pushed to the side most of the time. Turbo, Point of Entry, Jugalator, Demolition, Sin after Sin, and Ram It Down. They are all great albums, but the most under rated album has to be Ram it Down. I know that Ram It Down is regarded as one of the worst Priest albums, but thats being compared to other Priest albums. That is some stiff competition if you ask me. Ram it Down is truly a hidden treasure. Yeah it has a drum machine, yes some of the lyrics arent that great, BUT Rob's vocals are perfect here, the guitar work could not get any better. Listen to the song Ram It Down, the solo is just killer. Hard as Iron is another great. I am just saying that those who diss Ram it Down need to take another listen, (Quoting Message by JT_Small_Deadly_Space from Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:27:22 AM)

| On the topic of the next studio album, something with the ferocity of Jugulator and Painkiller please maybe some death metal growls in their Sir Halford as i heard him doing them at Priest Feast along with some trademark screams. Something with some awesome heavy-ass drumming but back to more melodic solo's, more memorable occasions such as, Beyond the Realms of Death, Rock Hard Ride Free, Touch of Evil and Demonizer. I know its hard to put them all together but thats what i need from Priest right now. Maybe some cool bass fills from Ian too let him ring out more like on Abductors, One on One and Metal Messiah! |
