Judas Priest

[Perun]

My maternal grandfather was from Galicia.

Nice part of the world, with a lot of Celtic heritage (for many centuries it was easier to trade by sea with the other Celtic nations than with the rest Spain)

Even the name refers to the Celts, as it is related to Gallia.

Now that I think about it, if I ever saw Priest do Battle Hymn into One Shot at Glory live, I'd probably never go to another heavy metal show.

Wow! This is your favorite song ever, I guess.

 

[PieceofMind89]

Yes. Always.

Genocide. Call for the Priest. You Don't Have to be Old to be Wise. Riding on the Wind. Out in the Cold.

Let Us Prey/Call for the Priest would be a great opener.

 

[PieceofMind89]

Richie playing ''Genocide'' (rehearsing for the 50th Anniversary tour?). It sounds killer./ The last time when it was played live was in 1982.

This song has a brutally good riff, especially live (Unleashed In The East version is superb and the riff is fantastic there).

Genocide confirmed for the tour next year!

 

[DJ James]

Wow! This is your favorite song ever, I guess.

Perhaps not my favorite ever, but the sheer power that song has (along with the power that many other tracks on Painkiller have) is basically unmatched in heavy metal. And I'd love to hear Ritchie's take on that opening riff. He'd give it so much bite. For the record, A Touch of Evil is my favorite Priest track. Followed by Night Comes Down, The Sentinel, then Battle Hymn/One Shot At Glory.

One Shot At Glory is also a very favorite song of mine (it's in my top 10). Richie will crush it live, as always. I can't believe that they still not played it live./ btw, The Sentinel is my favorite Priest song.

 

[The Dissident]

The Sentinel is an absolute masterpiece.

 

[Black Bart]

One Shot At Glory is also a very favorite song of mine (it's in my top 10). Richie will crush it live, as always. I can't believe that they still not played it live

It is a bit like Alice Cooper's "Dangerous Tonight" in this regard. Just why not play it live?

 

[Diesel 11]

I was actually relistening to DOTF last night and it struck me how great every song on the album is, with the exception of the closing duo. The vocals, the guitars, just top notch.

 

[terrell39]

Songs I have never seen Priest play live I would like to see on 50th anniversary tour (1 from each lp):

Cheater
Island of Domination
Let Us Prey/Call For the Priest
Exciter
Killing Machine (or Delivering the Goods)
Rapid Fire
Hot Rockin
Screaming For Vengeance
Jawbreaker
Reckless
Hard As Iron
One Shot at Glory
? (Not that familiar with Angel of R)
Persecution
(Anything; missed the tour & love ROS)
(Anything except 1st 3 songs; already saw them live)

 

[Kalata]

Richie has said that nothing was filmed for release (during the Firepower tour 2018-2019), as far as he knows....

Hope they will film something for the upcoming 50th Anniversary tour.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

I'm pretty sure Ian Hill said that they were looking at releasing something from the Firepower tour, sometime last year? Or am I making shit up?

Not heard of such thing.... but I may have missed it. Can you find a link?

 

[Black Wizard]

Rob's version of 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' is hilarious.

 

[Magnus]

Rob's version of 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' is hilarious.

So this is a traditional English carol?
I honestly only knew Sabbat's lyrics to Hosanna in Excelsis so far:
Hark! The fallen Angels sing:
"Glory to Satan our King,
etc.
Should have guessed it's one of Skywalkyier's spoofs

 

[Magnus]

If Andy Sneap played on Rob's version as well, now that would be hilarious.

OZZY OSBOURNE Postpones European Tour Again; North American Dates Still On For Spring/Summer 2020

Ozzy Osbourne has once again postponed his European tour. In early April, Ozzy scrapped all his 2019 tour dates, both in North America and Europe, as he recovered from an injury sustained while dealing with his recent bout of pneumonia. The singer fell at his Los Angeles home, aggravating...

Am I alone in thinking that Judas Priest's career since Nostradamus has been pathetically managed??

I wonder who in their management thought that a band that should have ended their illustrious career as a headliner, should be wasting precious time being the opening act of another legend that is not fit to play and keeps on cancelling tours.

To quote the wise man from the Midlands: "It is what it is, you know?"

 

[GhostofCain]

Rob's version of 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' is hilarious.

Agreed. Hilarious and not in a complimentary way.

Ah FFS,

Time to get a refund on those tickets.
