Walsall rules!!

[Iggy]

Walsall rules!!

You will be glad to know that Mrs I was born in Walsall then.   

[Nicky007]

You will be glad to know that Mrs I was born in Walsall then.  

Does she know that it's the birthplace of the great group Judas Priest, Iggy ?

Guess if Rob had been straight, he would'v snitched her 

It's weird:  I havent been to B'ham since I was about eight, and that was only a two-day visit. ( I remember that I got my sis to spirit away the contents of the newspaper glass for my coin collection (but don't tell'm at the hotel)   )

But Ms 007 and I are (or at least I am) talkin bout takin a trip around the UK for our honeymoon. Iggy, if ya got some bitters in the fridge, and some Priest on the hifi, we'd like to come by    (Greenie, we won't pass by you, cause Ms don't like Guinness and green men)  

Got a great inductee in my 1990 slot at last:  Priest's A Touch Of Evil  

Anyone say "Priest mania" ?  

Nicky.

[Bupie]

Anyone say "Priest mania" ?  

Well, for someone self-proclamed extremely religious, it took you a very long time to finally turn to the Priest, me thinks 

[Nicky007]

Tellya, she was ... woo-hoo-hoo  

 

Then seriously, Bups, I'd think that Priest would be somethin for you too, one of the most intelligent hard-heavy bands around, without being tooo heavy and growlish  

Nicky.

Probably but in the esoteric department, I am more interested by UFOs than by priests at the moment. But that could change : give me a little time to digest the twenty or so UFO studio albums while you do the same with the -probably, I didn't check- similar amount of Priest albums 

I think that Halford's voice is a bit too much on the screaming side for my taste, though

LOL Nicky. She left when she was very small and grew up in the Bahamas.

Nicky.

The Bitter doesn't live in the fridge. And Priest don't live on the hifi. In fact I don't believe I have any JP in my collection.  

But Ms 007 and I are (or at least I am) talkin bout takin a trip around the UK for our honeymoon.

When is the happy day? How long are you coming for?

[Nicky007]

I think that Halford's voice is a bit too much on the screaming side for my taste, though  

Right, I can understand that some people think so. Rob's style is similar to early Geddy Lee, and both seem to have taken over from Percy.

Personally tho I consider Rob one of the most exciting singers around.

He has mellowed a lot with time (like the other guys). On Nostradamus he's less wild but just as expressive, maybe even more so.

in the esoteric department, I am more interested in UFOs

What's sex with a UFO-babe like, Bups ?  

The Bitter doesn't live in the fridge

...for long, I guess  

In fact I don't believe I have any JP in my collection.

When is the happy day?

When you get some Bitter in the fridge and Priest on the hifi - and if the priest aint too bitter  

Nicky.

[Iggy]

Bitter is supposed to be warm not cold. 

Lager needs to be cold to make it taste better. 

A bit like cheap white wine.

Must be due to the time Nicky spent over here as a boy.  Pretty much all of us over here want all our beer cold, including me.  We even brew some that is worthy of being tasted nowadays, and we still feel that way.  Bud, however, can't be made to taste good no matter how cold you make it.

Pretending to be on topic: Woo, Priest!

[maddox]

I can't imagine a beer that is well served warm. 

That has the ability to give you a slight but ever present headache. 

Beer ---> cold.

Period.

Ontopic, just like our little green man: Priest! 

I've recently obtained [read: downloaded] Nostradamus, because of Nick's recommendation.
I've heard the first cd.

It's good.
But if i may say so, it has does reminds me of King Daimond from time to time.

[Nicky007]

I can't imagine a beer that is well served warm.  

I'l second that  

Some beers, like Chimay, are so good that you can drink'm at room temperature, but they certainly improve with cooling.

I was 7 & 10. I liked root beer, and that sure had to be cold  

Woo, Priest!

Greenie, man, can't ya get anything right:  You don't woo the priest !  You use the priest after ye'v wooed (and yoo-hooed) the girl  

You'l never get any    if ya continue like that !

But if i may say so, it reminds me of King Daimond from time to time.

 

Mad, you'r ... yes: MAD !!!

King Diamond  

OK then:  Amaseffer remind me of Lordi !  

Nicky.

Well, maybe the 'foreign' beers are different but over here when you'll drink warm/room temperature beers, you're bound to get some stomach problems.
Or it'll just hit you in the face. Drunk after one sip of beer.

Horrific. 

Mad, you'r ... yes: MAD !!!

King Diamond  

OK then:  Amaseffer remind me of Lordi !  

Nicky.

Maybe far fetched but you have to admit that there are similarities between both bands.
High scream like singing, a tad dark lyrics (though Daimond's are more horror-ish then Priest's), metal like the old days.

The only real difference besides the age of the bands is that Priest sings more about Heavy Metal.
Tracks like Ram It Down and Heavy Metal are proof of that.   

[Nicky007]

Mad, what I'v tried to bring across is that Nostradamus is a very special album, of enormous scope like The Wall, and in many ways similar to it.

Give it some runs and time to sink in

Will do that, Nicky. 

This evening will be round 2. 

[Nicky007]

This evening will be 'round 2.  

Mud, 2 is either night (a.m.) or afternoon (p.m.)

 


Did some editing:  Realised that Metallica had to be pantheon, and that probably the Black album is my fave with'm.

Moved Phideaux higher up my SL, as they seem to be hot with several Roomies now.

Added some Priest albums.

And Them Crooked Vultures, a collaboration of John Paul Jones, Josh Homme, and Dave Grohl. Exciting !  Got good reviews too 

But next purchase, definitely: PT's Incident

To be honest, this week it's been rather difficult for me to determine if it's either morning, afternoon or evening. 

[Manatee]

Unless he's talking to me, in which case his 2 is either evening or morning over here.

The Black Album (aka Smell the Glove if you're a Spinal Tap fan) is the only Metallica I have actually.  It's quite good, although it got massive airplay here, so I'm a little tired of it.  The albums after it seemed sort of ho-hum.  I think their hardcore fans prefer the earlier stuff.

Phideaux:    'nuff said.

But next purchase, definitely: PT's Incident  

Nicky.

Can't go wrong with that one.   

[funkster]

Nicky for the Priest stuff i would recommend

Painkiller
British Steel
Screaming for vengance
Hell bent for leather
Defenders of the faith

Classics one and all 

[Nicky007]

Classics one and all 

Right, Funkster ... but try the recent Priest albums, particularly Angel and Nostra - whew, what a group 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

Added Avenged Sevenfold to my pantheon. Their City of Evil is ... well, evil - in the good sense  

I also listened to some tracks from their latest self-titled album on MySpace, which I also enjoyed a lot.

Surprisingly versatile band, and M. Shadows is a stunning singer.

Well, guys, you got some good stuff waitin for ya, if/when ya feel like some topnotch progmetal: A7, Nostradamus, Jeff Loomis, Trivium's latest stuff, Into Eternity  

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

OK, Aqua 275 did it  

Added Cloudscape to my pantheon  

Man, do these guys rock !!!


"I am the myth, enlightened and above you all
I inherit the haven which nature provides
A threshold to aquatic landscapes

Above the surface the gateway rises
Enter the island, see whats beneath
Only an entrance, never an exit
Limited access ends life as you know it

The ocean gave and I gave it back
Gods of the deep see my creations
To see their excellence throw away your prejudice

Crash into the waves
Feeling the cold
Down below
Make your final dive into the sea
Welcome to this world"

- Aqua 275

Cap, somethin for you ?  

Nicky.

If you like Avenged 7fold than you'd be happy to know that they've entered the studio with a certain M. Portnoy to record a new album. 

[Nicky007]

Yup, he told me 

That's the way the butter flies
