I just voted for Priest for Noisecreep's "Most anticipated release of the month". That other band I like won for the month of May but the competition wasn't as strong. Priest is tied with Guns N' Roses (DVD/BD). If they win it gives them exposure for the month. This is probably a good poll to vote in so vote.

http://www.guitarworld.com/judas-priest-preview-new-song-battle-cry-intro-guitarist-richie-faulkner-exclusive-video  like this one as well, and crossfire is starting to grow on me as a song, it was very jimi hendrix-esque to me , and more groove than rock imo, but then it started remonding me of some SAS songs and KM(HBFL) songs as well

I'm not sure what anyone is hoping for but for me personally I might get exactly what I was hoping for. I didn't want "Painkiller ll" or "British Steel ll" but just wanted something that had that "Priest" sound and showed a progression forward with a more modern feel to it  and not something that followed a formula like I feel A.O.R. did. I think they started with a weak track but followed up with some decent stuff. I never expected to lke every song (I never have) but was hoping that the first track released was not the norm. Sounds like probably not. I'm looking forward to this. I can't wait to hear it all.

march of the damned is a good riff-laden piece of music with a pretty darn good solo, as for rob.....;.... exiled from nostradamus is one of the best songs off of that album IMO, i like the way rob sings in a controlled subdued manner yet projects so much power!!,march of the damned reminds of that sublelty a hint of whats to come later,l;ike  when the song alone follows the mellow tones of exiled and then hits that AAAAALONE and proceeds to get a little heavier with a more pronounced scream !, this is what the band does best, experimentation, trys something new , a new look ,a new sound  and i am glad they  arent a formulaic band that just regurgitates what they have done before. .

They should have released this song first. At least this one sounds like they were trying to be heavy. Songs like this will make me like this CD, the other song makes me not even want to hear it. I pray it is more in the vain of the second song. As for the new sound I'm not sure I ever ask for anything but that except that it be heavy so if it doesn't sound like "Painkiller" I think that's great.

@Budred my pleasure

I love the story, that's great. One of those moments you hate going through but the memories and story after make it so worth it. Thanks for sharing that.

@Budred ,those ticket stubs brought it all back! i waited with a thigh cast from a bad motorcycle accident for 30 hours for tickets to The Stones Steel Wheels" FAREWELL TOUR " lol, went done in a bus with 17 other people from the line up and was one of the best experiences i have ever had !!!! The Fuel For Life Tour in 86 was another great moment!!! 4 of us went down to see Priest. i am from the interior of British Columbia Canada, and at that time the quickest way to make the trip was over a high mountain road on a toll road called the Coquihalla highway  We were abou 50 klicks in to an almost 500 klick journey when the water pump blew! well being young . we didnt have the money to buy a spare part , but we bought a map. we then mapped out our route and timed how long we had between over heats to stop at one of the many creeks along the way and fill up . we used whatever we  had on hand (beer cans , pop cans ) to fill up  and as we stopped , we were able to collect more stuff that was lying around to fill up ( milk jugs ,etc) as we got more containers we could drive further lol. we played paper, rock, scissors to see who had to take the radiator cap off, as this was not a fun job!!! but fun to watch that geyser go!!! our biggest worry was rush hour traffic in the july heat and not getting stuck on the Port Mann  bridge !! i got to see my first concert that evening, and it was the mighty Priest!!!!. We slept in a tent that night on a one of the guys uncles lawn and did it all again on the road home !!! It was 1986 and a great time to be 18!!!!  there is a lot more to those 2 stories but that needs to be done over a couple of cold ones and a good chuckle . we often have polls on this site , and there was a discussion on why people picked Turbo over A.O.R ???  i picked Turbo, why?............Memories               cheers Acolyte

@Acolyte55

That would be a very cool surprise.

I saw the Stones in 89' also. "Steel WheelsTour" at 3 Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.(since torn down)(actually I was there when they imploded it.) I never cared much for the Stones until that show. I was hanging with a friend that day and he said he would scalp us some tickets if I rode up with him.I thought they were pretty badass. Not on the heavy side but just quality musicianship and a pretty spectacular show. I like the Stones(64'-74'era) alot now and saw them again in Columbus Ohio on their "No Security Tour" in 99'. Not sure if that was a play on their "Altamont" show or not.  

I can't wait but seeing that header is a little bit of a drag to me. We'll probably have to see this for the next two months so that they can tell us then that it will be out by fall or for Christmas or some sh*t. I just hope it's a good one.
