Rob may not be able to do what he did 20 years ago but has anyone heard what he can still do. I posted a video from the
December Cleveland show of "Resurrection". Listen to it and check out the highs. Rob can still do it.

the guy is almost 60!

Ppl who expect others to do the same shit 20 years ago exactly are unreal.
Priest has been taking risks trying new styles even though they knew lots of diehards go against them.
Even transitions from Rocka Rolla to Sad Wings Of Destiny is a huge difference. It was like that from the very beginning.
The guys do whatever they feel like doing. Rob sings the ways he wants to do and he's still confident with his voice according to many interviews.
Those who have so many doubts about JP, they're just general fans of metal/hardrock.
Believing in their favorite band rather than disbelieving in the band is what diehards do.
I prefer current Rob to Rob at younger ages coz he's been working decade after decade to deserve the nickname, "The Metal God."
Looking forward to the next new works by the Metal Gods!

As is everyone on this site i am glad JP are working on new songs :-) i hope its a full length album and not just a few track's to go on a forthcoming 'Best Of' cd but i guess any new material is better than none at all.
I think Priest are at their best when they put light and shade in to their recordings and i would prefer this to an album full of tracks going 100 mph from start to fiinish.
I would be happy to see them go in the direction of AOR but maybe with a better production (not Roy Z), there are a few producers out there at the mo who could do a good job or maybe The band will do it? Nostradamus was a good sounding record despite what people think of the song's ( though i really like'd em).
Priest don't usually make the same record twice so i expect the new stuff to be different to Nostradamus.

I like more the ultragresive sound they had when they made the jugulator, i like when they compose with the darkest sound posible, like in the song painkiller and demonizer they are the best at making songs that make you feel like you are powerfull, specially when you play covers with your band all my friends that hear judas priest because of me like it because those songs that are totally evil Edited at: Saturday, January 29, 2011 3:03:21 PM

I must say, Rob's Italian pronunciation in the chorus of Pestilence and Plague is awesome!!! I can't wait for another album - maybe something more along the lines of DOTF or Screaming or Painkiller, for all us metal-adrenaline junkies out there....whatever they put out I will support the guys, regardless. They've provided their fans with some of the best music ever written or performed. Whether or not Nostradamus is a 'fan favourite' is neither here nor there, JP has always given 110% in all and any efforts. Even if this was it, they'd still go down in history as the greatest metal band THAT EVER FREAKING EXISTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Budred] Saturday, January 29, 2011 4:38:18 AM
I think the thing the turned me off before I even listened to it was the subject of the concept. I think(my opinion) that
Nostradamus is a joke and I don't understand how anyone can buy into that crap. He didn't predict anything. Everything
he said had to be interpreted. When that happens you can make believe with a little imagination and false interpretation
that he could tell the future. There is no such thing as psychic powers. Not a single person has "ever" proven that they had
powers. I thought writing about the "Loch Ness Monster" was the dumbest thing Priest ever wrote until Nostradamus. I'm
glad Priest changes it up with every album but Nostradamus wasn't a change it was a departure. Not even close to Priest.
It is boring, too slow, and probably the worst Halford has sounded on a Priest album. It's funny how "Demolition" is ripped
here for being too different from other Priest efforts yet "Nostradamus" is applauded for it. At least "Demolition" is a
metal album.
Man I hope the new album is metal. In the words of Rob Halford, "Judas Priest Heavy Metal!!!"
[sentinel84] Friday, January 28, 2011 12:10:00 PM
yes Nostradamus is a great album. But it is definately not the best concept album ever. Have you ever heard the crimson idol by wasp, or operation mindcrime by queensryche? Those are in my opinion the best concept albums ever written. I agree Nostradamus is probably better than 7th son cause I never really got the story behind 7th son. But it is not the best concept album ever [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by METALMANJP from Friday, January 28, 2011 11:26:53 AM)

For me that would have done it, that would have passed as a good solid metal album to me as they are pretty strong tracks in my eyes.
I'm surprised that Future of Mankind is so overlooked by people it's a really underated track with some really heavy riffs and a perfectly written chorus even on Rob's standards it breaks the mould.

So yeah all they need to do is up their game again and restore freedom to Scott Travis's phenominal drumming because the drummng on Painkiller and especially Jugulator was jaw dropping and on Nostradamus it was too basic for my liking.

Well said JT! I agree with everything you said. I think Nostra was brilliant and they did what they set out to do with it. I skip around as well when I listen to it now though. My favorite is Sands of Time/Pestilence and Plague. The first time I heard it, those songs just called out to me. I love the way Rob sings Future of Mankind - straight from the heart. I think after a new album, people will appreciate Nostra more. It was just too far away from what some people want from Priest to be accepted immediately and it makes them question if they can still produce top notch heavy metal. I don't doubt for a second that the new album will be another fantastic metal album! I'm so excited about it. I can't wait until it's released so that I can blast it!

I for one enjoyed Nostradamus. The thing that makes JP Special is, they have something for everyone that has metal running through their veins. We know JP's Albums all sound different, so what do we expect from this new album? Whatever it is that makes you love JP, there is sure to be at least a couple of tracks(or more) that you will love. I don't see why people feel the need to complain, how many other bands hang around this long still delivering decent/great music.I look forward to seeing what they serve up!

If someone thinks that he shouldnt be excited it is totaly unacceptable im my opinion!
Judas Priest will bring a new album and its gonna crush!!!!
It will be better than Painkiller and it will be better than Hell Bent for Leather
No way that they're gonna doing a album like nostradamus again!!!! (I dont like nostradamus eighter)
Judas Priest last offering to us will be the last and the most ultimative evidence to proof all this death metal an black metal guys even all this hip hop and pop guys out there what real musik is!!!!!
Judas Priest are the fucking Metal Gods and they will always be!!
I trust in Priest
They will be as great as the were in de 1979-1990!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the boards! To me I take things very literally, so when the word 'farewell' popped up I was devastated, but in reflecting, yes it left things open ended for new material but just no to the massive world tours. I imagine they must be incredibly taxing. I was SO happy when I heard they are writing new material, I think that's what most die hard Priest fans want, a new kick ass album! But, I really want to see them live, even just once. So my fingers are very much crossed for a NZ tour date in the mix!

First of all, Welcome to the board rawhead! The wording of the announcement left it up in the air whether or not it was the end of Priest or just the end of their long world tours as far as I was concerned. We all were hoping that it was just the end of the world tours but when Rob was asked in interviews if it was the end of Priest, he said he believed it was. KK was asked on the Steel Mill if they would be still writing more music and he didn't answer the question. I think we kind of figured at that point that it was the end because if there was another release to come, wouldn't they have announced that along with the farewell tour to soften the blow? I know that would have helped me take the news a bit better. Maybe this was the plan all along and they just didn't come out and say it until now. Or perhaps they got together to discuss the farewell tour and they were inspired to write some new material. Whatever the case, I'm absolutely thrilled to hear that they are writing new material! And Glenn posted on his site that it isn't the end of Priest, just the end of world tours - so there may be more than one album to come, you never know.

I think that the "'issue'" for some people with Nostradamus is that it goes in a direction that was not expected, very dark and depressing, and with the timing of Priest announcing their final tour, it feels like something has ended....it's as if that ''in your face grinding never let them get you down fight 'til the end with every fibre of your being'' attitude kind of melted into a sad reflection of what doom lies before us that we cannot change...I admit I thought it was a bit of a departure for JP, but the more I listen the more it pulls me in, even though it is a dark place that Priest never took me too yet...but HOT DAMN it still ROCKS!!! Anything they ever do still ECLIPSES ALL OTHER MUSIC!!!! It's just that it left us with a sense of something coming to its close.

I know a lot of people didn't like "Nostradamus" and I'll admit at first I wasn't sure, but after giving it a few listens I realized how amazing that CD is. I mean if you think about it, Priest went in a slightly different direction with a concept album which is a pretty brave thing for a band to do. Just the fact I had to really give it a few good listens made me aware of just how complex this CD is. I think that what they learned by doing a project like "Nostradamus" will only enhance what's to come in the future and I'm pretty excited about that!

I know it's hard for you to be excited after being let down. But sometimes you just have to believe. I believe in Priest and the magic that happens when Glenn, Rob and KK sit down together and write. I think they got Nostra out of their systems and will return to what they do best. I certainly am craving a HEAVY METAL MONSTER because it's been way too long since we got that from them. I think that's what we will get this time around. But I totally agree with you - Priest show us what you got because I know you still have a lot left in the tank!!! Show the world that Priest is THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!

No attempt at being negative I just don't want to get all excited about a kickass Priest album only to be let down when I hear it.
After Nostradamus and then Halford's new album, I'm afraid to get too enthusiastic about anything they're doing. This is the "first"
time since I've been listening to Priest that word of a new album fails to excite me. It's kind of strange. I want a new Priest
album so bad yet I'm so fearful that it will suck I'm losing any enthusiasm for it. C'mon Priest, pump me back up, I gotta have a
"Judas Priest style heavy metal" album!!! It doesn't have to sound like old or new Priest, it just has to be f*ckin' heavy.
Show us what you got!!!

Well, I for one am down on my hands and knees THANKING the greatest band of all time for working on new material!!! They heard what we had to say and are going to give us at least one more album. I am very optimistic that they will give us exactly what we have been craving - BRITISH HEAVY METAL! They will not go down without a fight! That's what made the news of the farewell tour without news of a final album so difficult for me to take - it just seemed so unlike Priest to go out quietly. Well, now we know that they are working hard on giving all their fans what they want and I refuse to give in to any negative thoughts about the new album.
THANK YOU METAL GODS!!!

I'm glad to hear that an album may be in the works but I'm not letting myself get excited. I've been excited since Rob came back and have had
nothing but disappointment. A couple of kick ass concerts but nothing musically. A.O.R. has "good" music on it but not my idea of "Judas Priest
style heavy metal". I hate Nostradamus so bad it literally puts a pit in my stomach trying to listen to it. I've never made it all the way through on a
single listen. I was pissed that they announced a new tour without a new album so I definitely want to hear something from them, there's just no
excitement or anticipation for it. If we get it, I'll buy it, then after I listen to it I'll decide if I'm excited or not. Probably a poor attitude but I don't give
a f*ck.
