Grandpa rock - New Judas Priest

[DoubleBarrel]

I am a long time fan of the Priest. I really enjoyed Redeemer of Souls, and this new video looks like they haven't strayed far from the classic Priest sound and vibe. Can't wait for the tour.

Still miss KK

AWESOME
I didn't know about this. Sounds great!

I stumbled across this site. KK is basically retired because Millenium Downloaders didn't love Nostrodamus like it was Dark Side of the Moon. Holy Crap. I love all of Priest- especially the from the 90s on- but not that disc. That recording was completely uncompelling and difficult to even listen to once all the way through.

We used to buy an album and think well it’s not that good but I’ll play it a million times I’m sure I’ll get into it and now it doesn’t really get a second chance. In the past there was always the opportunity to create a record like Dark Side of the Moon or British Steel or Back In Black that would be one of those albums that would be indelible and people will always come back to. And I think that opportunity has gone now and I think it would take a miracle for one of those to happen again. If you consider an album like Nostradamus then if that had been released in 1978 then it would have been another Dark Side of the Moon but it is all about the timing.

Agreed. Nostrodamus was unlistenable.

Have you listened to Redeemer of Souls ? Richie Falkner is ok (he's no KK) but all in all it was a damn good disc.

YES!!!! If I am honest, I have skipped the last few JP releases but this sounds amazing! need to go back and revisit. I think hearing how much Rob is NOT singing live for those classic notes has put me in the camp of "I wanna remember them for what they were".

This here sounds like some classic Priest! Thanks for sharing.

Give Redeemer of Souls a listen.

I like that one. I think RF might be the glue keeping this together, he seems to have a lot of input into the material and plenty of solos. Interviews where he seems to know the back catalog and has more enthusiasm than the veterans, lol. He shreds but probably not the catchy songwriter that KK was. KK was a hack as a soloist, fun whammy bar, but a hack.

Richie is good, and a good fit for the band I think. From the live footage I have seen he just seems to be trying too hard though. Just relax and play the song. No need for extraneous noodling. Tipton seems to be laying back and let him do a lot of the solo work.

KK to me was always the spacey etherial hendrixy counter point to Tiptons shreddy precise solos. I can't imagine anyone else playing Sinner the way he did.

Pretty cool, Halford sounds good and the lead guitar tone isn’t bad at all

[leftyaxeman]

That sounded awesome! I really like Redeemer of Souls so I'll definitely check out this new one!
