I don't know why HB, but the use of the word "fail" like that makes me laugh. Are you trying to talk like the trendy kids of today, HB?
J.D., I think Judas Priest did take some lessons from Saxon in regards to releasing albums every two years or so, at least in the 80s... and then they released the disaster (for some, and probably for them) that was Turbo, which took two years to make after the release of DOTF. But then again, they got back with Painkiller, which also took two years to make after the release of RID. One size does not fit all, IMO, especially if it becomes incompatible with the work ethic of a band. How is JP's work ethic now? Well...you be the judge. They're either writing new material right now, or still relaxing, or waiting for Rob to come back from his tour with his solo band so that they can begin writing, or...something else.

they could take lessons from Justine Beiber if it meant we would get a new album. 4 in 2 decades, with one of these completly useless, 2 with a "backup" singer.... FAIL!!!

I'd actually argue AGAINST Priest "taking lessons from Saxon." While I personally like Saxon and even admire the speed in which they produce new material, it cannot be denied that they do not hold a candle to the mighty Priest in terms of overall popularity worldwide. That goes for now and before. Sure, the same argument could and has been made with Priest vs. Maiden but Saxon isn't even in the running. Hell, Motorhead even swamps them. Why?
I've often asked myself the same question about Priest. Sadly, I too am on the "blame marketing" bandwagon. Over the years, I do think that the "label" has really made some really poor judgement calls in the marketing of Priest. What about Saxon? While I, along with many, see Priest shirts in airports and cities around the globe (albeit sporadically) , I rarely if EVER see a Saxon shirt. Mention them and very few even recognize the name. That even goes for classic metal fans.
While this particular aspect has always pissed me off about the handling decisions regarding Priest, it is more a "curious puzzling" about Saxon as to why they never really "took off." Thoughts? (Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, October 28, 2010 4:37:29 PM)
