    USA Politics

    The Sweden (and in part others, although multiple historians claim Sweden were in many ways the most leftist of the democratic western states) of the late 1960-1970s were doing this, but in a light version and more importantly, pre internet and pre globalization (the late 70's saw the first...

    USA Politics

    Things were definitely better in some ways a few decades back, less good in other ways. But the way I see it, MAGA and Trump have paved the way for dedemocratication. This current government are playing a few hands out of the Trump playbook. Good old USA has showed its western companions that...

    I knew they had more than their first initial article. Let's see how much they have left to release.

    10% my ass. Try around 20% this last election, but the Moderates and the Christian Conservatives have a slice of that voter category as well. The Sweden Democrats, far-right, are in a coalition with the current government since 2022 and have pushed through a lot of policy.

    Bayley-era Maiden vs. Martin-era Black Sabbath vs. Ripper-era Judas Priest?

    A couple of points here: Roy Z is a producer, not much of a mixer, though popular belief is that he mixed CW and AoB. He has mixed very few works, (and Halford, Priest and Dickinson aren't any of those - though Z might have mixed the unofficial, lawsuit-release, Live in London Halford gig) and...

    Bayley-era Maiden vs. Martin-era Black Sabbath vs. Ripper-era Judas Priest?

    That being said, they didn't try to write any classic Priest songs - they wanted to double down on the brutality of Painkiller with Jugulator and mix it up with some Thrash-ish influences (and Jugulator was already written when Ripper joined).

    18th Studio Album discussion

    I think Steve enjoys touring and playing live more than studio work.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    Maybe Bruce and Adrian should enjoy a joint solo career. Turned out amazing last time...

    Bayley-era Maiden vs. Martin-era Black Sabbath vs. Ripper-era Judas Priest?

    The second, maybe. The first one is mostly somewhere between trash quality and underwhelming filler material - and I dreamt of K.K. and Ripper joining forces for years and the disappointment with Sermons of the Sinner was palpable, to say the least.

    There's massive difference between Sweden 2025 and Sweden 2005 and even more compared to the late 80s. I think the public perception of Sweden is that of how it was in the late 80's and 90s (when the transition started to happen). You know that the education system here is broken when Trump has...

    Lol, Sweden is mini USA at this point. What "Left"? We're going triple down economics, New Public Management, deregulations, privatizations, the world's most extreme school system with tax funded corporate owned schools and less and less social programs.

    And the fact is, millions have radicalized into far right. 30% of the voting eligible U.S. population are MAGA die-hards. They are transforming the country into a dictatorship and are in absolute power. How is that comparable to a nutcase at a conference in Iran?

    I love that comparison.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

    Just wait until you hear the first KK's Priest record that he mixed. Needless to say, for the sophomore record, K.K. put some money down and got the Danish guy that does Primal Fear and UDO mix it instead.
