Classics Reborn

[redfly]

Yeah you never know. Unless once this gig's over he starts talking about how it's nice to work with professionals for a change.

 

[Slammed]

I would think that if he really wanted it to happen he could STFU now and not bitch, then by mid next year when the tour is in full swing they might just ask him to a gig or two. Keeping his mouth shut is the only way I see it happening.

 

[redfly]

The odds are against him being able to do that lol.

 

[Slammed]

I like to think positive and think that he's had some kind of epiphany and that has lead him to a future of keeping quiet in the hope that it repairs his burnt bridges.

 

[redfly]

Maybe. But I don't see him actually swallowing his pride and apologizing. He still says things like, lots of things are said in haste, lots of things go down. No real responsibility is taken for his non stop shit talking.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I'm not sure he'll go that far either. Even in todays interview he suggested everyone is to blame, not just himself. An out and out apology would probably come across as fake anyway, but if he keeps talking shit I see the chances of it happening somewhere close to zero. If he shuts the fuck up and says nothing more I'd imagine those chances might increase to about 50%.

 

[redfly]

Flip a coin in a few months?

 

[Slammed]

My initial thoughts are we wont have to. He's got a gig coming up, there will be reporters there and there will be people lining up to do interviews with him before and after. Keeping his yap shut is going to be difficult, but not saying something that sites like Blabber etc can manipulate will be even harder.

I'm interested to see how this comes off. It's a bloody good venue for such a performance and I like the idea of it.

 

[redfly]

I like Whit's voice, I like his Sabbath cover on Nativity In Black. I read about this and thought it sounded really cool. Then I watched the clip and I don't like it lol.

 

[Slammed]

The clip seems to be a warm up of some kind and there did sound like something was amiss. Not sure about the other songs they are doing but I'm still interested to see the Sabbath/Ozzy numbers. Although I'm also silly enough to want to listen to the new UKJ album when they release it.

 

[redfly]

I don't know what it was. I didn't like anything about it though. Except those big drums.

 

[Slammed]

Sounded to me like it was very echo-y and that the mics where either too low or too far away from the sound which often happens at a rehearsal, Crane's mic was still at a reasonable volume because his voice was clear but everything else had a distance to it. I would hope that is rectified in the main performance.

 

[redfly]

LOL....yeah he's over it ...

[Slammed]

Blabber are as bad as him for giving him the time to voice such horseshit.
I even understand his point that he wanted to clear things up, the fact that he makes things worse is obviously not his fault
I just can't understand how people keep defending this guy. Sure it would be good to see him back for a gig or two and I'm sure the band even see that but to keep defending him and everything he does makes them blinder than he is.

 

[redfly]

Lol Blabber must be loving this.

I know, people talk like Priest is all dried up and just killing time and should retire after this run...you know because KK isn't there.
Gotta love the guy tht writes a big paragraph saying there must be something about KK's personality we don't understand. And he can't understand why the band doesn't talk to him.
I mean fucking seriously?!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah the website must be getting a good hit ratio because although it's the same people commenting all the time they do it on every article and come back constantly to reply. Not only that half of them complaint that Blabber make such clickbait stories.

Yeah they do. The same happens to many bands with long term members quitting to a degree. But the big difference here is how KK keeps shitting on the band and people keep saying how he either deserves to shit on them because he's a founding member (which he wasn't) or because he's a great guitarist. Even worse are the people who claim he didn't say what he said in the first place.

 

[redfly]

I'd love to knw what Blabber pulls in a year or even a quarter.

Yeah and the people who think all his interviews flinging shit on them is ok because it wasn't in his book. Just the interviews promoting the book, and that's kind of worse because it's false advertising!

 

[Slammed]

Well it's a fair bet the number of unique visitors is massively less than the number of actual visits. With all those commentors going back five or more times to make sure their point has been made on every post repeat visits must be high.

Yeah the book is gospel, the interviews on the web are made up
I doubt it has happened but it would be hugely funny if he gets on stage with Ross and he's forgotten how to play the guitar

 

[redfly]

Bahahaha! That would be so funny! Somehow it would be Priest's fault though.
