Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Dernier message de la page précédente :

The main thing is that heavy metal dominates completely in every part of the world, and it’s reassuring. Heavy metal is everywhere and it will never die. You have to appreciate that the music is bigger than you are.

"Freewheel burning"? Je suis bien curieux de voir ce que peu donner Halford dessus, tant il a perdu vocalement.

The British Steel 2009 U.S Live Tour

As planned, Judas Priest hit the stage running every night of their summer tour, crashing into “Rapid Fire,” the opening track of British Steel, and reclaiming the other eight songs on the record in grand style. Of course, the concerts did not end there. The band tore through another program-length of songs from the four corners of their history, starting with “The Ripper,” from their first Columbia LP, 1977’s Sin After Sin.

“Prophecy” dated from their most recent studio album of 2008, Nostradamus; “Hell Patrol” was from the Columbia album of 1990, Painkiller; “Victim Of Changes” is one of the staples from their 1976 album Sad Wings of Destiny; “Freewheel Burning” was one of the stellar tracks (along with “Some Heads Are Gonna Roll”) that sent their 1984 album Defenders of the Faith to RIAA platinum; “Diamonds & Rust” is their jaw-dropping treatment of a Joan Baez song from Sin After Sin; and the show closed with “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming,” Judas Priest’s singular appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, from 1982’s Screaming for Vengeance.

Tom Allom and Judas Priest were reunited again (having worked together not so long ago on the audio for the DVD ‘Rising In The East’) for the live recordings that comprised 2009’s A Touch of Evil. Allom is responsible for the stereo and 5.1 SurroundSound mixes of the live recording from the Seminole Hard Rock Arena concert that appears in these new editions of British Steel. The DVD will also include the bonus feature, “The Making Of British Steel,” a 30-minute interview featuring the four original band members.

DISTURBED has recorded a cover version of the JUDAS PRIEST classic "Living After Midnight" for volume 1 of the new "Metal Forge" series by U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, which sees nine bands covering the nine tracks on PRIEST's "British Steel" album to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. "Breaking the Law" - FIREWIND
02. "Rapid Fire" - TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED
03. "Metal Gods" - THAUROROD
04. "Grinder" - BLEED FROM WITHIN
05. "United" - ARTHEMIS
06. "Living After Midnight" - DISTURBED
07. "You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise" - IMICUS
08. "The Rage" - RISE TO REMAIN
09. "Steeler" - STEELWING

Tout à fait d'accord, faudrait qu'il abandonne ses vestes de plomb, même si ça serait plus le Metal God d'une certaine façon.

On the 1980 album "British Steel", which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year:

"It was the album that really launched PRIEST universally. It was also the album that consolidated PRIEST as a band, both in the songwriting department and the performing. Looking back now, it was a bit of rebel almanac, if you know what I'm saying. It was something the world of rock and metal were looking for at the time."

"I wish we were smart enough to say we had planned the whole thing, but we were just going step by step, doing as good as we could do. There's really no magic formula. You never know when you're making a potentially great album."

On the "British Steel 30th Anniversary Edition", which includes a remastered version of the original nine-track disc, along with two bonus cuts and a DVD of the band performing the album in its entirety last year:

"We really had to regress and go back in time to do that. There were some songs on 'British Steel' that we never played live. So we were a bit apprehensive to start with. We were wondering how it was going to go.

"But obviously, it was a neat thing to do. And as I think you'll see on the DVD, it came out pretty damn good. The reception we got was amazing. To think that we would still be here 30 years on, and that there would be the demand for us to play this record in its entirety, that's immensely rewarding."

On winning thier first Grammy, snagging best metal performance honors for the decades-old track "Dissident Aggressor" from their 2009 "Touch of Evil Live" album:

"Yeah, it's a little bit bizarre — but at least we've got one. It's a pretty cool thing, it's nice to have. And hopefully, it's the start of a conveyor belt of Grammys."

On how the band's early '80s albums "Point of Entry", "Screaming for Vengeance" and "Defenders of the Faith" could also wind up on the 30th-anniversary edition conveyor belt in the next few years:

"It seems to be something that people like considerably. And our most successful record ever in terms of sales was 'Screaming for Vengeance', by far. So it would be kind of interesting and fun for us to go out and play those albums too. They're so well-established and well-known that people know all the songs."

On whether he has plans to put out a solo album:

"That would definitely be cool. I've always thought that when I come up with something really good, I want PRIEST to use it. But I do think about a solo album a lot. It's something I want to do. But when it will be, I don't know."
