Of course there is Ian's Blues / Jazz roots as well. At the end of the day, if I recall RockNRoll history, the genre's roots are in R&B. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Friday, April 29, 2011 6:59:50 PM)

Couldn't agree more! And exaclty why is KK given all the credit for Priest being blues based? Hmmmm? It's a well known fact that GLENN TIPTON played in blues bands and then played progressive blues prior to joining Priest. So I highly doubt that the blues influence will now somehow be lost. But then again, what do I know about Judas Priest ? A LOT.
I NEVER said they would sound the same without KK. That is ridiculous to think that the sound will be the same. Everyone that knows me knows how much Priest means to me. This is a blow that I'm finding hard to recover from. Yet I am choosing to stand by Priest, just as I did when Rob left. I will not bitch about the new sound until I hear it.
Funny, she was left about as many times now as MG!

The problem I see is that even your sentence structure is atrocious. Yes, I know Wagner and even know how to pronounce it. Accusing anyone of not having as "trained ears" as yours is truly the "jest" in that sentiment.
Learn to write properly. Better yet, learn that there are many who simply disagree with what you put forth as "truth" know that it is nothing of the kind. I read all your posts. They are nothing more than pure opinion and conjecture mixed with barbs to those who do not seem to share your opinion. K.K. has roots in blues. BIG surprise there. He said so in many an interview that we all know. Your calling someone a "dufus" [sic] is "not an attack on someone's character?" Hmmm... curious.
You advocate learning? So learn. Those who are equally as educated in all things "Priest" have voiced an opinion in much more eloquent terms than yours. (Quoting Message by icomearoundnow from Friday, April 29, 2011 6:00:42 PM)

The problem with this e-mailing is how much iflection and intent gets lost and mis-construed. None of what I said was meant to be taken personally, and was said somewhat in jest. It was about a specific subject; and I was only trying to get you to dig deeper into the music you love so much. You do have ears that are trained, you just don't realize it; there are concrete reasons why certain things sound better, and I was just trying to illuminate that. Not putting myself above anyone else, but since when is knowledge a bad thing? Beavis and Butthead are great but nothing to aspire to, and please don't think that is who I am comparing you to! If I offended. then great, but it wasn't an attack on anyone's character.
