New Judas Priest Cd March 1st!!!!!!!

[ElectricEye72]

Thats right folks the Priest is back! March 1st is the release date of Angel of Retribution. Its gonna be a double CD with an audio CD and a DVD included. Oh man Rob Halford returns and Judas Preist reclaim their throne as the masters of metal! Angel of Retributions release may be the most important event of mankinds history. Long Live The Priest!!! 😎

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Oh HELL, yeah!

 

[ElectricEye72]

Alright Bill! I was getting worried no one was gonna share my joy! But Bill I gotta warn you its a double CD which means its gonna cost more (the wave of the future!) so put aside some cash for March 1st. Dont worry Dr. Kobb I get a strange feeling its gonna be well worth it!😀

Damn Skippy, ElectricEye72! I'm certain the release will be totally ignored by the music press, but that's cool. Metal's sorta gone underground again in this day and age of American Idol/teen-princess-Midol/crap-rap/pop-punk/teeny-bop/no-talent schlock. That's a good thing, though. They needed to weed out the hair-band/power-ballad pussies from the die-hards.

Most bands, I couldn't give three shits about reunions, but Priest is different. I was really impressed with the stuff I heard from Halford's other project while the Priest was dormant. Unlike most veterans, I think they'll keep moving forward, rather than just relying on old riffs to sell some seats.

Incidentally, is there a particular song that might've influenced your screen name? 😎

 

[ElectricEye72]

Hell yeah Doc! Second song of Screaming for Vengeance! I hope the Priest CD does get ignored youre right as to why. I dont feel like most people are worthy of listening to Judas Priest. One bad note however, Rob Halfords live singing is not what he used to be according to reports from their European tour. They said his voice sorely lacks the range it once had but hell the guys like 50 what do you expect? Im sure whatever is left of Rob Halford is 90% better than most of these kids metal bands anyway.😀

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

Agreed! I hope they come somewhere even remotely close to here, however unlikely that may be. I wonder who'll be opening for them?

Angel of Retribution World Tour

As a matter of fact Doc they are planning a US tour to support Angel of Retribution so I guess theyll pass by our home towns of New York and Florida. Now I dont know whos gonna open for them in the US but in Europe its (brace yourself) the Scorpions. Dont be surprised if the Priest double headlines with a band like KISS.

Thought i'd dust-off this old topic to mention that I finally picked-up Priest's new Angel of Retribution disc, and sure enough, it KILLS! It's the same ol' chords n' riffs we've come to know and love from the band, and that's the good news! I was afeared they'd mellowed some with age. Not to worry, tho'. Still play as fast and hard as ever! Horns up!

Yep...I have heard a couple of the new ones and Priest still has it. I remember one of the most amazing things about them is they sound just as good live as they do on the record...no bs...they play it like it was suppose to be played. I still crank up SFV album and Turbo to get pumped.

peace out,
daddy

Angel of Retribution could knock a wall down if played loud enough it packs so much power! What a comeback for Rob Halford! He might not be able to hit those high notes like he did in 1984 but his presence alone more than makes up for it. Boy this is an old thread!
