Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
Judas Priest has a new Nostradamus concept album coming out, and it's going to be a big one. The regular release is a double CD, while the deluxe is the same packaged inside a hardbound book. I assume this will be similar to what they did with Angel of Retribution. Finally, there is a super deluxe addition that will include the double CD inside an expanded book along with the album on triple vinyl!
You can hear the title track here:

I just read about this, so I haven't heard it yet. One other bit of news: Priest is going to play on the same stage as Kiss at something called the Download Festival.  That's a show I wish I could see.
Here's the albums press release:

Re: Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
The Download festival used to be called Castle Donington: Monsters of Rock. It's the biggest, most prestigious (debatable over recent years) hard rock/heavy metal festival in Europe. Priest played the very first one in 1980, along with Rainbow, Scorpions, April Wine, Saxon, Riot, and Touch (DAMN, I'm getting old). And you probably knew that anyway, since I just read the press release, and that info is there. But let's hear it for my memory of what other bands played that day!  (No, I wasn't there...)
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this, although I'm a little leery of the whole "concept album" idea from Priest (one of my favorite bands of all time, BTW). I just hope it's better produced than AOF.
Edit: I just d/led the title track. Good stuff, but I can't picture Halford belting those lyrics out from underneath the 200 lbs. of leather and chains he's been wearing in recent years...
Recently Seen:CALIFORNICATION: Season 1, "Rush Hour 3," "Rescue Dawn," FUTURAMA: "Beast with a Billion Backs," FAMILY GUY: Season 3, "The Flock," "The Prestige," "Batman Begins"

Re: Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
I'm pumped too. Saw Priest on their 2005 tour and Halford was able to put out some good vocals then. I think he could pull it off. I'll be seeing them again on their 2008 tour.
Ram it Down, Judas Priest...best...album...ever

Excellent!
As I stated in the American Idol thread: Best. Live. Band. EVAR. Too bad they don't have any dates scheduled around here.

Re: Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
JP is coming to my town, so I'm going to try to go.
I was listening to some AOR. I'm so glad this got made, or else we wouldn't have had Worth Fighting For. To me, it's a sequel to Desert Plains, and a good one.

Re: Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
They just released the entire Screaming for Vengeance album as a download for the Rock Band game.
Do I keep waiting for that patch for the GH3 guitar, or is it time to bite the bullet? . . .

The Ant Commandos put out an adapter that lets you use PS2 Guitar Hero guitars to play Rock Band (and GH3) on the PS3.
Rock Band is on the way to my house. . .

Re: Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
Not many midwest stops. No Minneapolis?
Would be great to see Testament too. Is their new album out yet?

Yep! ...and I love it so far. It's not quite as good as "The Gathering", but it's also much more melodic and has more guitar solos since Skolnick returned. It's very much in the same vein as "The Ritual", but with heavier lyrics.

Re: Judas Priest - Nostradamus - June 17
By "heavier lyrics," do you mean the words are more meaningful or the vocals are more growly?
