  1. Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
  2. I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
  3. I have always been an on/off fan of Priest. Loved Ram it down and Painkiller, then kinda lost interest when Rob left. Only newer albums I ever got around to picking up were Angel of retribution because I saw it real cheap and Nostrodamus as I found the deluxe edition cheap as well. With this one though I was interested in what I heard and saw the deluxe edition looked cool. I then saw they were selling copies on the JP website with a signed art card in both standard and deluxe format, but baulked at the price of the deluxe as they were charging an extra £10 over the unsigned version, and postage was lumpy ... plus I was a few days from getting paid. By the time I went back on there the signed deluxe was gone but they had the standard version with the signed card and it was the same price as the unsigned version (guess nobody was buying it) so decided to buy that and order the deluxe from Amazon, keep the artcard and sell the standard CD on eBay as it is still sealed. So yeah, been playing the album today and on my third (or is it fourth) playthrough, and absolutely loving it. When bands like Bon Jovi are getting soft as shit with age, Rob and the guys are still full on metal gods. At 72, Rob should not be able to still perform like this, but he fucking well is, so more power to him. Really good start to the year so far with the 2024 albums I have picked up.
  4. I still have the original version of Skin that came with a bonus CD with a lot of those tracks on. Take me down to the river was always a bit of a weird one back in the day as was unusual at the time for an artist to release a single that did not feature on any albums or soundtracks, but has become more common place these days. I have the two CD singles and maybe still have the 12" picture disc if it wasn't one of the ones I sold, and a lot of the live tracks on this reissue are from the b-sides of the single (all three formats had different tracks)
  5. Judas Priest - Invincible shield Bought the standard version from their website as it was normal price and came with autographed card. Selling the CD on eBay as got the deluxe version coming tomorrow (over here the American Target exclusive is available from all retailers). Their website had sold out of the deluxe version including the autographed card, but was actually much cheaper doing it this way, as I will add the signed card to my deluxe copy, and as long as I can sell the standard CD for a reasonable price, I will have paid about £10 less than what they were charging (unsigned deluxe is £20 signed deluxe was £30 plus postage was double on deluxe over standard versions and both had the same autographed card.)
  6. I really loved her album, but one of the things that stood out to me is her vocal style is rather unique and not going to be everyones cup of tea. Certainly talented, but I can see why some people would not be impressed. She just posted this cover and while I love the fact she is paying homage to the era we love, her voice just does not suit this song. The Saraya cover she did was brilliant, this one though just did not do it for me. Maybe some will like it, but as a fan of hers I gotta say I was hoping for better.
  7. There is a difference between having a big cock and being one
  8. I am having a hell of a time on FaceBook pissing off these mindless drones who will accept any old shit their favourite band puts out. I can't wait to see how long it is before FB hits me with a ban again.
  9. Well this is a perfect example of why they continue to put out this mediocre shit. If you look at social media, people are falling over themselves to say how great this song is and how much they are looking forward to the album. I can only assume that either these are the sort of blinkered die hards who will accept any old shit from a band because the love them, or they are fairly new fans to the band who are into that sort of shit and don't really know the band for their older stuff. What also gets me is they way they act like you just tried to murder them if you say anything negative about the song or the band. While people like this continue to praise them to high heaven, they will keep putting out this shite. I would actually love to not buy it, but the collector in me would hate not having a complete disography. I will probably wait til it is mega cheap like I did with that bucket of cow shit that was their last album.
