Halford - The Mower

[nomisofsiman]

Maybe, though his voice is really smooth and clean on Nostradamus.

I think the harsher Painkiller-style vox simply match his solo material more.

I still never picked up any Halford solo discs.
I should someday check em out.
Just the few tunes I have heard seem as I said a bit too "modern" sounding

You should check them out. I would say though that the first Halford disc doesn't sound modern at all. In fact, it to me sounds like a Priest record for the most part. Also, his live insurrection disc is probably one of the best live metal discs ever recorded.

The other stuff has some modern tendencies, but I think it works because they are solo albums.

I'll tell you why Halford sounds like Udo, VenomGA,

The guy's 58 years old and still trying to scream like a banshee! Add to that the fact that he smokes, drinks, and is (according to tourmates) a couch potato on the road, and he's bound to start sounding rougher at some point. That said, I like the new song, and I'm glad that Halford is putting out another solo album. The first two rocked, and I can't imagine this one not doing the same.


Stay metal. Never rust.

From everything I've heard from him in interviews, I thought Halford hasn't smoked since the '80s.

You need to get yourself "Resurrection" and the first Fight album.

Ah, yes. "Resurrection"...the best album JUDAS PRIEST never made.

The first Fight album is quite good indeed. I actually find myself listening to the K5 recording more though. I love the raw sound of that disc.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Resurrection was indeed better than either Jugulator or Demolition...
