Well Goliath29, all I can say is that you'd get along really well with my older nephew. He's 20 and is a huge fan of The Mars Volta. He gave me a burned copy of one of the band's albums so that I can give them a listen. Verdict: Sorry, but the overall sound of the band is too disorderly and hackneyed.

What the fuck haha? I don't need to "earn" respect from anyone here. Its a fucking INTERNET FORUM. You need to deal with the fact that nobody is going to agree with your musical taste 100% of the time.
In my opinon, the Mars Volta are one of the shittiest fucking bands going these days. It doesn't matter how technically good you are a musician, if you can't write half decent songs that are gonna stand the test of time and get everyone's ears listening, why bother ya know?
I'm no hypocrite and I'm definitly not ignorant. You said you weren't as old as many Priest fans are here, so I fairly assumed you were younger then 20, thats not being ignorant, you brought that assumption on yourself. And being assumed that your younger then most here, its generally fair to assume you don't know as much about music in gneral that most people here would know.
For someone 29 years old and claims to be into tons and tons of music, not just metal, you are quite surprisingly ignorant when you assumptions made about you from your own words. I'm gonna only be 19 in this January coming up, I'll be the first one to tell you I don't know everything and CERTAINLY not everything about music. I'm still learning, just like evverrryyyone else. Including you. So don't be so quick to mount yourself on the high horse next time. Thats my advice. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Goliath29 from Saturday, October 24, 2009 9:10:11 AM)

It is THE Mars Volta, by the way. That is what is called a definite article and is there to distinguish them from another band that already had that name.
Correct me if I am wrong but you are not talking about the European band that previously had that name. They played true euro tech trash. For someone who is such a fan of the band, that is quite a big difference. Mention their name in Spain or Portugual that way and watch people laugh.

Oh, I know he does not need my help nor did he ask for it. I simply state my views that I DO know the band (¿hablas español? Puedo explicarme mil veces mejor en el idioma de la mayoría de la banda). You missed my point completely. I cannot help but both laugh and interject when a young 29 year old newbie feels the need to put down a friggin' 19 year old regular.
Many thanks, though, for letting me know it is ok with you to be bored and that you admire me for standing up for Joe. Boy does THAT make my bored day better!
Guidogodoy.... I never claimed to be any kind of "expert". You obviously are bored which is cool. All I did was ask a question intially and got slammed for it. Which is also fine. I just get tired of people who Judge bands based primarily from what they are told by others opinions or the small amount of time they may have sampled their music and then turn around and claim they know the band. They're not "nu-Metal" FYI. Though I can appreciate the fact you're standing up for Joe I'm sure he can retort on his own without your help. seriously you're not helping him..

HAAAAAA!!!! A 29 year old KID telling a regular member he is an expert because of age?!? LOL!!! Man, that is too funny.
Take it from me, sonny. I have NO doubts that a regular like Joe has no desire to "earn your respect" with his comments. For the record, I am old enough to be your father, my track record of listening to many genres of music (from this country and others) is well-documented and I know Mars Volta. Hell, I even know what the name means!
I think they play what they want to play....um..."well." However, I am NO fan of that whiny joke of nu-metal. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Goliath29 from Saturday, October 24, 2009 9:10:11 AM)

You can do a LOT better then Mars Volta, trust me.
Not sure how old you are, I'm almost 19. I remembered when I first joined this board a few years ago. I was looking around with wonder and all these cool song titles like Genocide and Tyrant and wondering what the songs were. Now, I have almost there entire discography, minus 3 Ripper albums.
Judas Priest opened metal up for me. And now I listen to a ton of different genres of metal, and music as a whole. There's only a very SMALL number of subgenres of music I don't like.
Open your mind up, but not to shit like Mars volta.
So who here likes the Mars Volta?.. I hope not everyone here dislikes them too much...Ok...Has anyone even heard of them?...Give me that much..lol..I think I'm a little younger than the average Judas Priest fan so your input would be much appreciated.lol..Thanks..

I agree totally with that Becks. I don't know what happened to them, but whatever it is, I can't STAND it! I think more than anything else, their attitudes PISS ME OFF! I watched that stupid ass "movie" they made while Hetfield was in therapy thinking maybe watching that would help me not hate them so much. WRONG! What a JOKE that thing was! Priest would NEVER in a MILLION years put something like that on TV. I lost all respect for them (what I had left I should say) at that point. It's hard for me to really get into a band that I think most of the members are jerks. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Thursday, October 22, 2009 4:01:13 PM)

I second that statement 100%! Anyone who knows me also would know that I was a DIEHARD fan of Metallica. What they are churning out now is supreme crap.
To highlight it, I bought a bootleg of St. Anger on the streets in México and it wasn't worth the 50cents I paid for it. That is more than sad. It is pitiful. I am one who has seen them some five times in concert as well. Really breaks my heart to say that I think James should start drinking again. Perhaps it would get him out of his dockers.
I leave the Limewire fiasco RIGHT out of the equation. I could rail on on what a stupid move that was for ages. Preach on, brother J.D.
To slam Metallica is the best way to describe this shit terrible band! Fuck Shitallica! They fucking "SUCK"!! Bunch of metal - betraying back stabbers who turned on thier original fans writting pop albums to 14 year old girls.

hey jtwa1,
i was actually on the constellation from 81 thru 82..i remember the non-skid very well!!! i also crossed the equator! i love Nostradamus, and think the effort that was put into it is amazing...it truely is a masterful piece of work! thanks for your support!
[jtwa1] Monday, October 19, 2009 9:15:51 AM
jackylone, After reading some of the posts I discovered you were a squid. Well so am I, and proud of it. I became a Trusty Shellback on the USS Constellation back in 1976 on an I.O. cruise. If I think about it I can almost still feel the non-skid from that initiation. I'm a diabled Vet now and spend a lot of time at VA hospitals and clinics. In fact that's about the only places I go so my music is important to me and I listen to a wide range of music. I am very impressed with Nostradamus. I'm not surprised the younger generation doesn't like it. It is, after all, it is a thinking man's album. That ought to strike a note or two.
[jtwa1] Monday, October 19, 2009 8:43:08 AM
Having been a priest fan since coming back from overseas in 1978, and liking all of their stuff, I have to say Nostradamus is their best effort to date. The writing and Musicianship is unsurpassed and I believe it opens new doors for Metal. I don't like most of the new Metal bands because of their repetitive nature and bad song writing. One listen to Nostradamus and you can tell how much thought and work went into it. A Heavy Metal concept album, imagine that. I for one can't put it on without listening to the whole thing. It's like Progressive Metal. Some of you younger Metal fans may not take to it right off but give it a chance it'll grow on you. Priest has set a new course for Metal. One I hope they continue on and others follow. Metallica and bands like that couldn't fathom doing such an album. So I agree with you, jackylone, Nostradamus is it.

Would you list your favorite songs on the double album. I have to admit it isn't my favorite but recently I decided people are writing it off as a whole when there are some gems in there. Perhaps your favorites would be a way to flush out the best on what many are dismissing completely.

Hey Necroticist....I agree with you about Nostradamus...I think it is a terrible abum and not a good Priest album as a whole...
But I know you really didn't want to tell Jackylone to "STFU" man....you probably had a bad day mate and probably vented some
frustrations....god knows I am the master at that...but Jackylonehas his say and right to do so...just like you said man.."to each his own"..
Jackylone....I think its great that Nostradamus is this special to you....I love "Angel Of Retribution"..and I know there are some fans
that hate this record or just think its half assed,not good enough..ect..but that goes in through one ear and out the other because to me
A.O.R. is Priest's 5th best recording in the band's 16 studio album career......so we sure all have some different outlooks.
oh plz - nostradamus is the worst priest CD in years...go away and stfu
[.] Thursday, August 27, 2009 3:20:31 AM
I like the album, though I would be fed up with it if I heard it every day. Honestly, the music is there for listeners to enjoy it as they wish, though I don't find it heroic at all to listen every day for over one year, so I understand why some folks at blabbermouth said what they did. They're hardly the kind to be nice on a good day but I share 1/2 of their opinion. If you had learned how to play the album along with your friends I would think it was really great.

Hey Hotrockin' Metal Goddess, thanks alot, its great to have supporters! if you go to blabbermouth.net and read some of the comments about the 365 day mark and the meeting the band, it wasn't very nice, althought there were supporters there. (few)...anyways all the guys were super, K.K. and Glenn thought it was so cool that i took to the record like i did and thanked me for my dedication for that and the 30 some years i've been a fan. Ian laughed and jokingly said you listened a whole year and survived, but thought it was so cool....Scott thanked me for my dedication to the band, and Rob just sat and talked about doing the Nostradamus live and the production they want to put into it. He asked me what the first Jp record i bought was, (Sin After Sin), and if this was the first time i saw Priest, of course this was the 6th or 7th time, (military commitments stopped me a few times), and he asked me why i dug the album so much, and basically i tld him, that no other album has been done this way, and that the band told the story very well..the music is great and that i could feel how Nostradamus 'the man' was feeling at a particular moment in his life in the tone of his vocals. i also told him i knew little about Nostradamus and that i could get a picture of what he did and who is was. it also made me do some research to learn more about Nostradamus. He said he had read about me i that mornings paper, (the cleveland plain dealer did a story about the listening, and they also did a follow up that saturday with rob and i's picture in the paper). i told him if it doesn't come to cleveland to at least try and get somewhere reasonable as i have to see it live. he asked what i do for a living, even though it was in the paper, and i also told him about being a 20 year retiree from the military which he thought was very cool and thanked me for dedicared service.

I prefer quality listening to quantity listening, but to each his/her own. I think the people criticizing had valid reasons to do so and their opinion was sincere, even if the language was rough and I don't agree with their overhall opinion of the album myself.
You got out of having your fun:
A free ticket;
Met the band who thanked you personally for your dedication;
The chance of bragging about it all.
By the way, that picture on Blabbermouth is more kind on you than the first one I saw (that made you look like a complete nutcase) because your friend is dressed in curtains and wears a lamp shade on his head.
Sorry to bitch, I can't help it but if you spent your time in the military 20 years ago, you're strong enough to read this.
Hey Hotrockin' Metal Goddess, thanks alot, its great to have supporters! if you go to blabbermouth.net and read some of the comments about the 365 day mark and the meeting the band, it wasn't very nice, althought there were supporters there. (few)...anyways all the guys were super, K.K. and Glenn thought it was so cool that i took to the record like i did and thanked me for my dedication for that and the 30 some years i've been a fan. Ian laughed and jokingly said you listened a whole year and survived, but thought it was so cool....Scott thanked me for my dedication to the band, and Rob just sat and talked about doing the Nostradamus live and the production they want to put into it. He asked me what the first Jp record i bought was, (Sin After Sin), and if this was the first time i saw Priest, of course this was the 6th or 7th time, (military commitments stopped me a few times), and he asked me why i dug the album so much, and basically i tld him, that no other album has been done this way, and that the band told the story very well..the music is great and that i could feel how Nostradamus 'the man' was feeling at a particular moment in his life in the tone of his vocals. i also told him i knew little about Nostradamus and that i could get a picture of what he did and who is was. it also made me do some research to learn more about Nostradamus. He said he had read about me i that mornings paper, (the cleveland plain dealer did a story about the listening, and they also did a follow up that saturday with rob and i's picture in the paper). i told him if it doesn't come to cleveland to at least try and get somewhere reasonable as i have to see it live. he asked what i do for a living, even though it was in the paper, and i also told him about being a 20 year retiree from the military which he thought was very cool and thanked me for dedicared service.

Jim, Have to let you know one more time how happy I am that you got to spend some time with these guys!!! Keep well!
Can't believe it's been that long..... I'm glad to hear that you are still enjoying it, no matter what others may say.
Jackylone! Obviously this album struck a cord with you and I think it's GREAT!! I remember doing the exact same thing with SFV, played it every single day, sometimes multiple times until Defenders came out. You do it because you love it and that is the only reason you should do it. I think it's fantastic that the band recognized it and wanted to meet you. Do you mind my asking, what questions did Rob ask you? Sorry, I need to live through you because when I met Priest at the meet and greet last year, I was a blubbering MESS! If in your shoes, I don't think I could have gotten very many words out, other than "I LOVE YOU!" For some reason, I meet anyone in Priest and my brains just fall right out of my head! LOL! By the way, my husband and I were at the Cleveland show too, 4th row center KK's side. Victim of Changes that night brought tears to my eyes.... God it was AMAZING!!!
................... there is other music out there pal.
