Good to know that you are allright and I still own the top stiches per accident prize. HA!!! It sucks to have that happen and then you go to the ER, think surely they will tend to you very soon, and they never do.
Hope you heel well, and fast. Watch out as bending the fingers seems necessary but it makes the stiches worse, as they tend to tear.
Love ya Jimmy!

True, Freeze. The metal category is good this year, no Metallica for one LOL! (although they've been nominated in the hard rock category, for a song released on an album that was nominated last year? How the heck does that work?! lol) I suppose I just cringe when I see the likes of Lady GaGa getting nominated for song or artist of the year - what's happened to music that means something! But I am sure the Priest boys would be well chuffed to win, and are happy they got nominared. The ToE Live version of Dissident Aggressor kicks ass too, I think it should win I'm not biast hehe.

You know, I am probably going to get a considerable amount of heat for this BUT, I find it interesting how we always qualify a comment about the Grammys with a statement like, "They really don't mean anything.." I have to say, I disagree completely. While they may not be as "legitimate" as we would like them to be, I think they mean an awful lot.
It is quite natural for us, as fans of Priest, to dismiss these "awards" as inconsequential but they are VERY meaningful in the music industry and actually quite coveted by artists. They are a vehicle through which an act can skyrocket sales. They are an acknowledgement of achievement. They are prestigious. There is a lot to be said for an act that can put "Grammy Award Winning" in front of their name.
I think that we, as Metal fans especially, tend to look upon the Grammys in a different way simply because our genre rarely receives the recognition we feel it deserves. And , when it does, we remember the debacle that was "Jethro Tull". Our music just does not generate the kind of respect we feel it should. Nonetheless, when a member of Rage Against the Machine gets SO upset that he stops the show by climbing onto the stage and refusing to leave, we must take note and understand that our 'heroes" think quite highly of these things. They do mean something. |

Good morning fellow Priest fans
Well, well, well!!!!! So our favorite band has another Grammy Nomination under their collective belt. I had not heard that Becks, thanks for sharing!!
We all know how this story ends, but I must say that it makes me very happy to know that Judas Priest, almost 40 years young, are still relevant and recognized in the now!! Let's see if the likes of Coldplay and such can make the same claim 40 years from now!!!!!!
No matter the outcome, I am a very happy Priest fan!!!!!!!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Becks from Thursday, December 03, 2009 12:09:59 AM) | | Becks wrote: | | Ok peoples!

True. I'd even go so far as to say the original could compete with a lot of metal released nowadays, it's one kick ass song [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Vaillant 3.0 from Thursday, December 03, 2009 12:29:13 AM) | | Vaillant 3.0 wrote: | | Very true.
