THE Judas Priest thread - v. new album and tour in 2024

[MirrorMask]

Second single coming from Priest this Friday, Trial by Fire!

[jjrock88]

That teaser for the second single sounds awesome.

[Dream Team]

Can't wait!

[jjrock88]

I'm actually surprised that "Panic Attack" is being played constantly on the rock radio station I listen to.  I'm sure it will end up disappearing to the abyss in a few months but it just seems weird that it's being played this much.

That's pretty cool indeed.

I may finally see JP, and with Sabaton (that concert in NJ was postponed/cancelled the last couple years, if I recall) 

[Zydar]

New single today, Trial By Fire.

[wolfking]

Solid.

[emtee]

2 in a row. Love both singles.

[Grappler]

I'm amazed at how great Rob sounds at his age.  Excited to hear the full album now.

[KevShmev]

I can't say I am excited about a new album, but a friend and I took the plunge and got tickets for their show here next May.

Huh; opening night of the tour at the Oakdale; I might be convinced to go see that.  I'd like to hear Sabaton, too.

[jjrock88]

Slightly above solid.

[MirrorMask]

Yup, the track is nice!

[EPICVIEW]

And now Trial by Fire gets a video!

Not bad at all, it's quite stylish.

[jjrock88]

Pretty good video!

[wolfking]

That made the song so much better for me.  So good to see Glenn in there, that warms my heart.

Crown of Horns
The Lodger

[TAC]

When I saw The Lodger, this guy was the first thing I thought of.

[wolfking]

I'm having a TAC moment.  I have no idea what that is.

[TAC]

That's from A Clockwork Orange. When the main character, Alex, gets released from treatment, ho goes home to his parents house, but they've rented out his room to...The Lodger, which is what he's called.

[wolfking]

Never seen that movie.  Maybe the JP song is indeed about that.

Picture Willy Wonka but with sex and violence.

Sounds like my kind of movie actually.

I like the fact that the record is consisted of only eleven songs. The previous two albums were a bit on the long side.

Firepower has no bad songs but if being forced to cut a couple of songs, I would easily decide which ones (one was Flamethrower and the other I guess Lone Wolf if I remember well).

I agree with you, if it's "just" eleven songs, they're probably the strongest ones they came up with, and they're all essentials rather than diluting the album.

[wolfking]

Flamethrower is horrible.  Should never have been included.

Deluxe edition bonus tracks:

12. Fight of Your Life
13. Vicious Circle
14. The Lodger

So, is that the same "Fight for Your Life" that was a bonus track on the "Hell Bent For Leather" remaster?   And given that, you're telling me that they don't already have a song called "Gates Of Hell" or "Trial By Fire"?!?!   

[EPICVIEW]

Flamethrower is horrible.  Should never have been included.

I love it   reminds me fun Turbo stuff    :  )

Deluxe edition bonus tracks:

12. Fight of Your Life
13. Vicious Circle
14. The Lodger

So...is this "deluxe edition" something that's going to require the purchase of a bunch of vinyl or will there be a CD-only option?

So, is that the same "Fight for Your Life" that was a bonus track on the "Hell Bent For Leather" remaster?

"Fight for Your Life" was the working title for a song that eventually became "Rock Hard Ride Free," which was the third track on Defenders of the Faith (not sure why it was included on the HBfL remaster).  The new song is "Fight of Your Life."

Flamethrower is horrible.  Should never have been included.

I love it   reminds me fun Turbo stuff    :  )

Like Wolfie said, horrible...   

[jjrock88]

I remember on the Judas Priest remasters from years ago, a lot of the bonus songs didn't match up with the year of the album they were being released on.  Didn't seem to make much sense.
