Yeah I got one too. Love it on burgers.

Off-hand comment about him being jetlagged.

No, it would not (and the entire "and the Trumpets..." line bears resemblence to reinforced falsetto anway, not in and out, but falsetto, then descends to head voice on "of Jericho"). Ask Geoff Tate. He has always jumped into falsetto for his top, often mid line. It is a well established...

True, but they are where Bruce usually resorts to a supported falsetto, rather than belting.

Yeah, I'd wager Trumpets is easier. Half the verses are speech-singing, and the brief top end singing in the chorus, which sounds impressive, but is rather light, is easier I think than the upper mid belting in Thel and Trumpets that make up the bulk of the singing.

The first reunion album is solid! The sophomore reunion isn't very memorable, but a fun listen or two.

:mad: This is probably true, though Burn in Hell goes down great with KK's Priest.

And it's also pathetic not to ask you.

Ah well, to be fair, Halford, Ian and Ken jointly decied to go with the name Judas Priest, of the former pub band Ken and Ian briefly played with for a couple of years. While bits of that music made its way onto Rocka Rolla and SWoD, one certainly can make the case that Halford, Ian, Ken and...

It's mostly Rob, I think, who has an unhealthy relationship with those records. He has refused to listen to them at all because "it is too painful".

Yeah, remixed by Allom, right? Edit: Nope, just rematered according to this source. https://blabbermouth.net/news/judas-priest-sad-wings-of-destiny-50th-anniversary-archival-edition-to-be-made-available-during-faithkeepers-summer-2026-tour

I followed that tour back in the day through bootlegs and attended two shows. It it definitely the worst tour in my view. It was pretty damn rough all the way through Europe. The 2005 tour had some poor shows as well though, but not close to every night like the 2008 european tour. The 2010...

The weakest chapter by far is the Nostradamus tour. He was absolutely wrecked. RiTE sounds great for the most part (Beyond the Realms of Death, Diamonds and The Ripper are for instance, just fantastic), but yeah, he favored using his lower register, at a couple of really odd places. Like...

A Youtube comment from a front row concert goer gives testimony: (google translate) I was there, standing right in front of the stage!! And I saw everything! First, Alen, the guitarist, was injured. He came back on stage after a short break at the edge of the stage with a head wound, and blood...

The Sentinel sounds good!
