Just a short medley of LAM/BTL with James Durbin - great they were on there though. Unfortunately that disgusting skank Gaga also performed and we had to turn the channel.

Just watched the clip on youtube. Not too bad, not a big fan of that dude, his voice is kinda weak. Great to see him bring some metal exposure into the limelight though.

I was a bit shocked too when I played the show this morning on my DVR but it made my happy.

Yeah, it always bugs me when guys like Durbin and Lambert get accolades for singing in a high register when guys like Halford, Dickinson, and LaBrie have been doing it longer and better.

Halford, Dickinson, and LaBrie have got accolades for years on being great rock vocalist. Your wrong.

I watched The American Idol clip today morning on Youtube. I don't know I have strange feelings about this. It's cool from one side that Judas Priest perform it that kinda show, but from the second side...it kinda not cool... Anyway, Halford voice is so different these days, I must say that I think I don't like how he sings on that performance. And, Their new guitarist trying to look like KK, don't you think so?

wolfking · « **Reply #182 on:** May 27, 2011, 06:04:10 AM »

Yeah, the similar outfit and the sunglasses makes him appear to be a KK copy. I guess he's there to fill the gap, he performed his solo okay, but different to what KK does, we'll see.

The Silent Cody · « **Reply #183 on:** May 27, 2011, 06:39:15 AM »

To be honest I refused to go to Judas Priest show in Poland when i knewed about KK's leaving, not same band no more... I had to pick between Ozzy and Judas cause of financial limits and I choose Ozzy...

That is a fucking amazing setlist. Blood Red Skies!!!! Starbreaker!!! My God. Actually makes it more sad that KK isn't there for these songs.

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #189 on:** June 08, 2011, 06:04:56 PM »

It's a decent setlist, but the absence of a single Ripper era song is a slap in the face. Rob has said for years that they would eventually do some and when this tour was announced, they said they would do songs from every album. Last I checked, Jugulator and Demolition were Priest albums.

Though the same thing myself. I mean, to just wipe those albums like they never existed is just rude. I believe the press release for the tour also said that they would represent each and every Priest album. I guess Rob just can't cut those songs.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #191 on:** June 08, 2011, 06:52:03 PM »

I can see Rob easily singing "Lost & Found"; still trying to figure out which song would suit him best of Jugulator

Well, none really. Maybe Abductors or even Bullet Train. Lost and Found would have been good in that set. They should replace Diamonds with it.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #193 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:14:35 PM »

yeah it would be tough pickings from Jugulator; unless, however, they completely revamp a song. But I don't see that happening

El Barto · « **Reply #194 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:28:33 PM »

It'll be cool to hear BRS with a human drummer, and any return of Sentinel is always welcome. The rest of it's pretty meh. Not as good as I had hoped, but not as bad as I had feared. That's a pretty strange tour, though. Corpus Christie? Allen, Tx? I suspect that Allen is to make it easier for the Okies to see the show, but Corpus is just baffling.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #195 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:38:07 PM »

I am hoping for and assuming there will be a live disc released at some point. I always wanted a live version of BRS.

Zydar · « **Reply #196 on:** June 10, 2011, 05:26:25 AM »

They played at Sweden Rock Festival last night, and got a 2 out of 5 in the papers. The review said it was uninspired and that it was fitting that they are saying farewell with this tour.

Setlist:

1. Rapid fire
2. Metal gods
3. Heading out to the highway
4. Judas rising
5. Starbreaker
6. Victim of changes
7. Never satisfied
8. Diamonds & rust
9. Prophecy
10. Night crawler
11. Turbo lover
12. Beyond the realms of death
13. The sentinel
14. Blood red skies
15. The green Manalishi
16. Breaking the law
17. Painkiller
18. The hellion/Electric eye
19. Hell bent for leather
20. You’ve got another thing comin

I haven't seen any vids from the tour yet, but that seems pretty harsh. Probably not even fans of the band.

Jirpo · « **Reply #198 on:** June 10, 2011, 06:38:27 AM »

Never seen Priest, so I'm happy to see them once.

KK Downing Chose Golf Over Priest

At last it can be revealed – the real reason guitarist KK Downing retired from Judas Priest. It came down to a choice between heavy metal and golf – and golf won! In an interview with the Wolverhampton Express And Star, Priest bassist Ian Hill says Downing decided to hang up his guitar so he can concentrate on his golf course business in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Downing's decision to quit the Priest ranks "came as bombshell to all of us", Hill admits.

He continues: "I think Ken had just had enough. He'd got a lot on his plate with his golf course and I think he couldn't spend the time away. This tour's going to be, by the time it's wrapped up, the best part of two years."

"It's a long, long time to be away from things and I just think Ken couldn't handle the time away."

"I'll always be a friend of Ken's and I'm sure he'll always be a friend of mine. Still waters run deep and we've been together as colleagues and friends since we were about five years old. We went through school and everything together."

I don't know what to say to that really. I guess what's done is now done. KK has worked hard over the years and can do as he wishes I guess.

Saw them live last night...

I'm so grateful for having the opportunity to see them live for the first and only time in my life. Incredible show, two hours long, they truly gave 100%. Highlights: The Sentinel, You've got another thing coming, Never satisfied, Heading out to the highway, Painkiller...

Using the search forum, I noticed that there isn't an official Priest thread, and there damn well should be, so here it is. It was inspired by reading this post in the most played thread:

Quote from: Seventh Son on July 06, 2010, 09:59:23 PM
Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver (Fuck Painkiller, this is JP's best song.)

While I wouldn't say "Dreamer Deceiver" is my single favorite Priest song, it would be top 5, easily. In fact, I consider that and "Deceiver" to be like two songs that go together. I'll start the ball rolling by listing a top 10 off the top of my head:

1. "Beyond the Realms of Death"
2. "Victim of Changes" (live from UITE)
3. "Sinner"
4. "Dreamer Deceiver"/"Deceiver"
5. "Desert Plains"
6. "Bloodstone"
7. "Exciter"
8. "Tyrant"
9. "The Rage"
10. "A Touch of Evil"

Oh, and "Painkiller" wouldn't even make my top 3 from that CD.

I frikken LOVE Dreamer Deceiver, it's one of those tunes I sing in my head quite a bit. I've always loved Priest, bought British Steel when it first came out...

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #208 on:** August 26, 2011, 01:28:34 AM »

I'd be hell-bent for leather, too, if I wasn't sulking under stained class with my sad wings of destiny. I'm busy contemplating the sin after sin committed by the tyrant who waged genocide against my people and conquered the island of domination. Some say I got the raw deal; I think I'm just a victim of change, always at the mercy of a dream deceiver. I've heard the savage invader, known for attacking with white heat from a red hot blade, goes by "The Ripper" and hails from beyond the realms of death. I am in need of an exciter, if I'm to defeat this dissident aggressor and his saints in hell, and claim my rightful procession of diamonds and rust as the one and only starbreaker, or else, I'm to face my epitaph at heroes' end.

Let us prey!
