I agree with Timebird. Sin After Sin is my favorite Priest record. It's SO varied and dynamic, from all out ferocity ("Dissident Aggressor", "Sinner") to morose doom ("Here Come the Tears") to snarling sleaze ("Raw Deal") to triumphant as fuck ("Let us Prey", "Call for the Priest"...

I was having a discussion with a friend about the subject behind Sentient No. 6. I immediately drew the conclusion it was about the movie Blade Runner, but my friend disagrees. Has Warrell said either here on this board or in any forums what that song is about?

I just Chris with the Nevermore boys in Colorado Springs last night. For only the paltry 30 minutes they were allowed it was a crusher, and Chris did a stand up job as normal. The set was (in order): Final Product I, Voyager Enemies of Reality Engines of Hate Dead Heart in a Dead World Born...

I was really unsure what to expect vocally. I saw them on their FFTS tour in the US last year, and although the song selection was incredible I had a hard time hearing Tomi's clean vocal tone. As far as clean vocalists go, Pasi was amongst my very favorite, so it was big shoes to fill. So...I...

Oh MAN. If Gamma Ray really tour...I'll drive two states to see them. Jean Pierre, do you like either of the last two Manilla Road records? I'm spinning Spiral Castle right now...I think it rules.

1. Rob Halford <- best voice on the planet, not worth arguing 2. Bruce Dickinson 3. Bobby Blitz Ellsworth 4. Abbath 5. Lemmy I'm into not only powerful, but signature voices. The above take it.

Right on! I can't wait to get it. How does it compare to their last few overall? Better than No World Order or Powerplant? The latter is my fave Gamma Ray record.

1. Iron Maiden 2. Judas Priest 3. AC/DC 4. Motorhead 5. Black Sabbath 6. Amorphis 7. Overkill 8. In Flames 9. Rush 10. Accept 11. The Haunted 12. Scorpions 13. Cathedral 14. Darkane 15. Fear Factory 16. Dio 17. Dream Theater 18. High on Fire 19. Gamma Ray 20. Venom

Tough one. Both "Orion" and "Call of Ktulu" are fantastic. I also love Genghis Khan by Iron Maiden. "Dialogue with the Stars" has strong melodies, it's also up there. But come one folks, I'm surprised no one has mentioned, "The Ultra Violence" by Death Angel? That song is a behemoth!!!!

Totally agreed! Crystal Logic, Spiral Castle, Open the Gates, Atlantis Rising...all true fucking metal. Classic, epic stuff.

Best album: Powerslave Best song: Phantom of the Opera (they're playing it this summer! \m/ \m/)

Uli Jon Roth and Lee Dorrian Imagine the fusion of Dorrian's fanciful lyrics and concepts with the psychadelic guitar wizardy of Roth? I think they'd meld perfectly as a wild, wild 70's inspired fusion.

Taken By Force, agreed. Have you all heard the cover Testament did of "Sails of Charon"? Yep. Totally rules. I'm also a really big fan of Fly to the Rainbow (on the more psychadelic end of things) and In Trance. But...track yourself down the original 2CD version of "The Tokyo Tapes", which...

I just saw the show in Denver last night. I was verrrry hesitant to see how new vocalist Tomi Joutsen would fare. Pasi was one of my favorite vocalists ever. But he did a great job and the show was AMAZING! He's very different than Pasi. His strength is his growl quite honestly, although he...
