Pipen,about Nostradamus....no,its not a top Priest album for me however,I do like half the album....I've just never said so because I wanted a text book heavy metal album...I am not very fond of half of Nostradamus,but thats just how my ears and style heard it. It is a masterpiece of excellence, but just something I for whatever reason cant seem to harness its magic. But Im well aware of how epic and how versitile it is.
Accept....yeah man,even though I dont rave about them they are classic true traditional heavy metal yes,and thier new albums are just as classic and if not heavier then that of 80's Accept,just a classic heavy metal band all the way around,much heavier than Saxon by style and piurpose ect....
I meant when all bands that are old and oldschool from the 80's like Sabbath,Ozzy,Priest,Maiden,Saxon,Accept....the day the last one retires then in my opinion Hammerfall will definately be the number #1 current classic traditional styled heavy metal band.
