Priest does a concept album?

[Glenn Fricker]

Well, for once, I'm speechless. Here's the info from thier news section..

Judas Priest are creating their first conceptual album based upon the life and predictions of Nostradamus!

This album will be theatrically staged and performed in its entirity as an epic musical by Judas Priest!

More news later!!

Now, I've gotta be Priest's #1 fan. I've watched this group do some amazing and amazingly bad things since I first discovered metal in 1984. My prediction: (if you'll pardon the pun) This will either be one of the greatest undertakings in metal, or this will be worse than Kiss' "The Elder." In other words, a total clusterfuck. I'm hoping for the former.

You've got to hand it to the band, in one respect, anyway, for at least trying something new instead of the same old formula.

I'll be awaiting this record with great interest.

As long as the quality control is there in the song writing, can't wait !

Its a very maideness thing to do, but I reckon they must have the goods, otherwise they would not have made the anouncement

No way, I'm their #1 Fan!

Yeah, I heard that on Blabbermouth a while back, sounds interesting. If it's as good as the last album I'll be satisfied.

In '04, three friends and I took a roadtrip and caught them twice in two nights (second being Ozzfest with Sabbath), it was awesome. Seeing them last year with Anthrax was quite a show as well.

Well it's got to be better than Operation Mindcrime 2. I was so dissapointed in that record.

Priest rules!

And with Rob back writing the lyrics, I don't we'll have any problems...KK and Glenn are the best riff, song and solo writing team...ever!

IMHO

there are rumours that maiden's new one will also be a concept... let's see who wins in the end (i'm rooting for maiden, but i don't have very high hopes for either )

I hope the next Priest album will be better than that shitty Angel of Retribution, what a shitty album ! bleargh!!!
Anyway I like most of their production, I love what they did with ripper
but my favorite are those of the 70's! amazing vintage stuff!!!

^yep their 70s era is definately the best.. too bad they had rather weak 'heavy' guitar sounds back then

 

[Noumenon]

Hey, The Elder is a good record!

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of Angel either.... "Loch Ness" makes me cringe every time I hear it. ...that & a couple of fast tunes wouldn't have hurt, either.

Their 70s stuff is my favourite as well. Sad Wings, now that was a fantastic album.
