Anyway, a new album means that the last word of the last track of the last Iron Maiden album won't be "France".

For such a super duper british band, it would have been weird to end their lyrical carrer with that word  :D (it all started with "Walking" for the record)

World Slavery Tour, 1985, I was doing time at a private Christian school. Either 7th or 8th grade. Because of time constraints I had to haul ass right after school and hit the show in a white button-down, and black slacks; Dockers hadn't been invented yet. Talk about feeling like a tool. I wore the iconic WS tour shirt over it, and I had a back stage pass stuck to the tail of that, so at last I was camouflaged, but it was still a awkward as all getout.

At the time I would have hated for there to be pictures of that. Thirty-five years later I'd love to see a picture of me at that show.

And I have no specific concert shirt. It varies and I put a great deal of thoughtfulness into it.

Much better than showing up to a rock show in cargo shorts and a Disney shirt because you aren't in the mood, and then getting called up onstage to sing.

 That would NEVER happen, and i called it out when BOS was released.

So apparently both Iron Maiden and Judas Priest has announcements coming today (15th). I saw something about it on Priest's Instagram account.

The Priest countdown suggests their news are coming out earlier, in a couple of hours in fact:

If there was any relation between the updates, they would be announced at the same time.  ???

I'm not interested in Priest at all (although Screaming for Vengeance, what a great album that is) so didn't go too much into it but yeah 42 CDs... that's crazy/amazing/ridiculous/stupid*. Anyone know how much it'll cost?

I actually feel like I'm the rare person who's in one of the two target audiences for that Priest set—I only own a couple of their albums, but I like them well enough that I could see myself going for the full discography at some point. But even so, it's likely going to have a price tag big enough to make me balk and not enough of a discount over buying each album individually to make me jump.

With some of hints pointing to 17, I'd bet a lot of money on the new album.  Tour? Maybe.  They already have the rescheduled Legacy of the Beast shows for next summer so I'm not as confident on that, but it would be awesome to see a tour of the states again in support of the new album.  Single?  I'd say it's possible but maybe more likely we get some sound bites from the album and the single coming soon.  Of course I'd be happy if we got a single today too.

Looking at the list, no, but it's more than half.

Discs 1-15 are all of the albums from Halford's original stint with the band (including Unleashed and Priest...Live).
16-21 are the two Ripper studio albums and two previously released live albums.
22-29 are the Halford reunion studio albums and two previously released live albums (the list skips from 27 to 29, so it's not clear what disc 28 is).
30-40 are live material from '79 through '91.  Most of it is marked "previously unreleased," but I'm not familiar with any of the stuff that isn't so marked.
41 and 42 are marked as "beyond live & rare: previously unreleased stereo recordings from the archives."

I'm guessing that was a single from the upcoming album? It feels like the album is actually called Belshazzar's Feast then?

Pretty cool song and I loved the animation video.

I thought the sound was pretty bad IMO, I mean, typical Kevin Shirley raw sound but specifically Bruce did not sound good at all IMO.  Music video was pretty awesome.  Song... I need to listen again.  Had some really cool musical parts with the guitars, but it was slower paced and didnt immediately catch me.

I thought he sounded like he was singing in the bathroom (both for the reverb and the strain :lol). However, I'm also playing a game at the moment and thought the reverb might have been coming from that.
