NOW PLAYING

The Beach Boys - California Saga

It's so surprising that this ten-minute suite was written by Mike Love and Al Jardine of all people.

A platinum album opener a true hidden gem? Sure dude. It's also on the successful Priest...Live! album and video.

For sure ''Reckelss'' is more appropriate song from this album to be a hidden gem, but ''Out In The Cold'' too. It's not one of the most popular Priest songs AFAIK, it has been played live only during the Turbo tour. Priest...Live! live album is not so succesfull like LAD, for example. Unleashed In The East is the more popular and counts as a classic live album. So calm down dude.
 
You talked about a hidden gem. Out in the Cold is one of the most visible metal songs of the 1980s. A platinum album in the US!

That's not quite the point that Foro was making.

A hidden gem is a song that is not played live by a band (or a few times only) and a lot of fans like it IMO. A song rated highly by the fans.

''Out In The Cold'' is this. ''Judas Be My Guide'' for Maiden, for example.

But Foro was highlighting that the song in question is the opening track from a US Platinum album. A gem, for sure, but not hidden very well.

think the song Kal was referring to was 'Out in the Cold' and Foro said the album it comes from is a US Platinum album.

I get that, but Foro also referred to it as an "opener to a platinum album". I guess the album is Turbo, but like I said, OITC doesn't open Turbo, "Turbo Lover" does.

If it opens another album, fair enough, but I'm a little lost.

It opens Priest Live, but I would have thought that that's not platinum?

The album Turbo is indeed platinum in US, but ''Out In The Cold'' opens Priest...Live! live album and to my knowledge that album never went platinum anywhere.

Ok. Perhaps Foro was wrong then. :eek: I'm no Priest expert, but I thought 'Out in the Cold' was a fairly well known song (mainly because I know it).

You cannot judge only by yourself. We'll see if it's known by the fans reaction (if they play it live again)... ;)

That was a mistake indeed. It is the opener of the live album and video (and tour). Still, that was a Gold album in the US. One of the most known hard rock / metal albums of the eighties (and also in the history of metal).
