Judas Priest

I’m surprised they picked Gates of Hell to play, there’s much better songs on the album.

I'm not. It's a very catchy song and with a ''1982 structure''. I think As God Is My Witness will be a great live song. Sons Of Thunder too.

Dropping a few songs is very likely. They usually treat the first gig as a test for the setlist, they see how it works in front of their fans, and then they change some things. IMO they shouldn't play 2h setlists anymore, Rob is too old for that. Reducing the number of songs to 18 would be a smart move.

17/18 songs at most is expected. With the 3 easier songs for the encores, we know them.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. For me Gates of Hell made barely any impact, it’s mimicking that 80’s radio fodder quite well, but just not interesting for me. As God is my witness was one of my favourites though, I’d be happy to hear that one.

As God is My Witness could successfully replace Lightning Strike. Both are fast, cathy songs. It definitely deserves a chance to shine live. I think it will happen, sooner or later. Never the Heroes was first performed 4 years after the premiere of Firepower, so who knows.

I have a ticket for Sofia and AFAIK there's no support announced for it yet hopefully that means they're up for a 21 song setlist that night. Cool that Gates of Hell is getting a spin.

Neither song is at the top of my list for Invincible Shield, but both would be better to hear live than Love Bites. What an absolute stinker that was last month.

Yeah. I like the studio version of that quite a bit but it was a medicore and tired live song.

Too bad we never got the full theatrical stage production they talked about…

Talk about small blessings.

Talk about small blessings.

It would have been nice for the people who appreciated the album. At least a one-off with a Blu-Ray release or something.

Yeah, and I think the same for 'A Matter Of Life And Death'.

I don’t think 2 people could fund a theatrical production and filmed release.

Nostradamus is by far the best Priest album between Painkiller and Firepower, and I feel no shame whatsoever over my enjoyment of it. Dunk all you want, I’m immune.

 

[Mosh]

It’s definitely the best album between Angel of Retribution and Redeemer of Souls.
