Don't laugh (unless it's hysterically) I always loved the musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd (why is there a double ll) Webber. I have always loved cats... I have always had cats as pets... I see myself as a pensioner as the real life version of the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons.... I thought this was normal... then I had writers block and stayed up late and saw this documentary on Discovery where they said that if you have a severe love for cats you might have toxoplasmosis... lol
I look at my kitties in a different light now lol

I've seen The Drunken Chaperone while I was in NYC three years ago. Funny as heck! I've also seen West Side Story (not the movie) and the Lion King. It was strange and awkward seeing the latter at first. And I saw Wicked on a bootleg! HA!!

Painkiller is an outstanding album, especially when you consider how weak, relatively speaking, its predecessor was, but even on Painkiller there are a variety of sounds. Freewheelin Burning is as good an opener on a Priest album that you will ever find, but if the whole album sounded like that, Freewheel Burning wouldn't be nearly as explosive as it is and DOF wouldn't be as great as it is.
Thanks for the piece from Nostradamus, Hellrider, as soon as it ended, I wanted to hear the song that came after it - that's the. sign of a great album. Edited at: Thursday, April 08, 2010 7:08:01 PM

Hey, great to see so many Nostra fans 
I missed this thread on previous visits to the board.
Yeah, Vegetas, I agree fully with you: Nostra is one of the great masterpieces of rock ! To my mind, all considered - concept, lyrics, music, musicianship, expression, production & graphics - only comparable to Floyd's The Wall, Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory, and a few other masterpieces.
You must also be about my age (55), judging from your post.
What's behind your alias, Vegetasrevenge ? Are you a vegetarian, like me ?
And I liked your wrap-up: "All Hail Judas Priest, seasoned veterans of metal, laying down the law and always breaking it!"

I love the Nostradamus album. It is like a rock opera on par with Superstar. A metal opera, unlike anything unleashed on the public ever before. I hope and pray that they tour with this album, I won't miss it. My first concert was Jesus Christ Superstar, I was about 10 or 11 years old. The operatic format has always struck me as a great way to get a message across.
All Hail Judas Priest, seasoned veterans of metal, laying down the law and always breaking it! |

I was very disheartened with that LP. True it has some good songs on it but it lacks the cohhesive quality that is Judas Priest.
Just my two cents on a long debated issue. |

Judas Priest and soft rock do not roll off the tongue, but when they do take on moodier pieces I think JP have done very well
If I ever get into the realm of frequent posters and onto those other threads, I look forward to talking with Hellrider .
